Consumers Urged to
Buy Coal Before Rush

Predicting car shortage when
the movement of fruits, crops and
other products of the farm begin to
be marketed, the public utilities
commission of the state of Idaho
urges consumers to lay in their win
ter's supply of coal while stocks and
prices are low. Sharp advances in
price are predicted by the commits
sion.
In the statement on the situation
issued by the commission. 1t is stated
that reports show stocks of coal in
the state very low and prices now
at low level The mines are in
position to fill orders promptly and
the railroads have ample equipment
available for transportation. With
the movement of crops the transpor-
tation facilities will be taxed to the
limit with a resultant car shortage
In prospect.

COMMERCE Clubs
ELECT OFFICERS
AT FIRST MEETING
Blackfoot Man Named
Vice President New
Federation

Cecil C. Clark, president of tn
Blackfoot chamber of commerce, wa
elected second vice president of thu
Eastern Idaho Federation of Com
mercial clubs at the first officia
meeting of the organization held a
Pocatello Tuesday. Other Officers
elected are: S. E. Brady, Pocatello
president; ]. N. Larson of Preston
first vice president; Charles w
Poole of Rexburg, third vice presi
dent and j. M. Harader of Pocatello
secretary.
| 1t being the first meeting of the
| federation since the proposal was
| submitted to the various commercial
clubs of the towns of southeastern
Idaho at meeting in Blackfoot in
June of this year much interest was
manifested in the extent to which
the action of other clubs In the up
per valley would be influenced by
the refusal of Idaho Falls to join
the federation. The result Of the
meeting at Pocatello indicates that
Rigby is the only town following
the lead of Idaho Falls in the mat
ter Speaking for the Rexburg club,
C. w. Poole told members of the
federation his organization would
defer judgment until more was
known about assessments and whe-
Their or not the communities would
be compelled to finance the publicity
work themselves. In this connection
the assurance given by Union Pa
ing was referred to. At that meet
ing the railroad representatives de-
clared they would not spend any
money on advertising unless the re-
gions being advertised formed an
organization to care for the new
settlers and see they were placed
where they could be successful. 1t
was believed that state department |
working in cooperation with COM
mittees from each community, could |
accomplish conveniently all the rail
roads asked for.
Mr.. Poole, in stating the position
Of Rexburg, advised the federation
members that a movement was on
foot in the upper Snake river valley /
for the organization of separate

Rexburg National Bank
Unable to Stand Strain

The First National bank Of Rex
burg, Madison county, failed to open
its doors Monday morning. The First
National bank of Ririe, JEFFERSON
county, branch of the Rexburg
bank, failed at the same time.
Ross J.. Comstock is president OF
the Rexburg bank. Heavy loans ex-
tended to wheat growers during and
following the war period and the de-
flation of value of farm lands gen.
orally in the Rexburg section, Is CIV
en- as the reason for the closing OF
the two banks.
1t is stated that the failure of the
bank to open its doors Monday
morning created no excitement In
Rexburg as 1t was not entirely unex-
pected. The other two banks In the
town are declared to be solvent and
have experienced no difficulty be-
cause of the failure of the Comstock
institution.

Applicants for Bonus
Should File Promptly

Application blanks for bonus
claims will be distributed and assist
ance in filling out the blanks will
and Wednesday evenings at the
American Legion hall at No. 33 So.
Broadway.
Early action in filling out blanks
and filing claims is good business
on the part of the veterans it is stat
ed by officials of the Legion who are
assisting the former service men in
every way possible. Although in
surance policies are not dated until
January 1 1925, if the applicant had
policy coming, that policy becomes
effective from the time the claimant
executes his application. If a veter-
an dies before submitting his appli-
cation his dependents will collect
something but they will collect about
two and one-half times as much If
he gets the application filed before
he dies. Statisticians figure that
twenty-five thousand veterans will
die before the end of the year.
An unfortunate circumstance is
cited in the fact that national or
ganization engaged in welfare work
and assisting in distribution of the
bonus blanks has made the public
announcement that veterans need be
in no rush to file their applications
because the distribution of policies
will not begin until next January and
no cash distributions will be made
until next March. This announce
ment ignores the fact that the appli-
cant obtains immediate insurance
protection on filing his application
and the earlier the applications are
filed the easier and less expensive
it will be for the government
Although the insurance policies
cannot be distributed until the dates
fixed by law the Veterans bureau
wants applications in its hands as
soon as possible so 1t can begin the
work of filling out the policies and
writing the checks now. The bu-
reau expects to have a couple of mil
lion policies ready and hundreds of
thousand checks made out and ready
to put in the mails on the dates men
toned. This program cannot be
carried out, it Is stated, unless appli-
cations are filed promptly.

SEECERS STORE IS
ROBBED OF SILK
WEARING APPAREL
Thieves Gain Entrance
To Store Through
Rear Window

Gaining an entrance through 6
rear window on the mezzanine floor
thieves looted the Seeger-
store of several hundred dollars
worth of merchandise Wednesday
night. Most of the stolen goods con-
sisted of high grade ladies' wearing
| apparel.
The robbery was discovered by
Ray Eskelson, clerk in the store,
when he opened the store at the US
ual time, about 7:45 Thursday morn
ing. His attention was first attract
ed by the fact that the cover over
rack of fine silk dresses had been
thrown back and ten or twelve of
the hangers were empty. Investi-
CATION disclosed that entrance had
been gained by breaking the glass
in one corner of the window pane
so that the latch could be unfasten-
ed and the sash raised. The sash
was again lowered by the thieves
upon leaving the building. The
dresses were kept on the mezzanine'
floor and an expensive silk kimono
was also taken from this depart
ment. Apparently nothing else was
disturbed on this floor and the thief
or thieves descended to the street
floor and proceeded to the front of
the store, where to the left of the
street entrance is located the silk
glove table. Here dozen and a
half boxes of silk gloves were rifled
of their contents, the empty boxes
being left on the table. Several boxes
of kid gloves were also taken from
the shelf back of the table. In go
ing to the front of the store the
robber must have passed near the
cash register, the drawer of which
is always left unlocked and partly !
open and in which few dollars in
change was kept. This was evident |
ly overlooked in the hurry with |
which the thief operated.
All of the stolen goods with the
exception of couple Of dozen neck
ties taken from a rack in the rear
Of the lower floor consisted of wo-
mems wear.
No accurate estimate of the
amount of the loss can be made at
this time, according to Manager Ed.
5eeger, for the reason that various
small articles may have been taken1
from various departments and their
absence not noticed. AS the mer
,handise taken was all high priced
stuff the loss will run into several
hundred dollars, Mr.. ,Seeger stated.

Idaho Egg Producers
Receive Big Returns

There have been thirty-eight car
loads of eggs with a valuation OF
$4,000 shipped out to the markets
since March I of the present year
by the Idaho-Oregon Egg Producers
association, which has its state re-
ceiving station in Caldwell, and in
addition to the shipments which have
gone out there are now seven cars
loads of eggs with valuation of
$4,000 In storage.
Approximately $4,000 worth OF
eggs are shipped out each week, or
$3.50 worth each day. These re-
turns reflect the value of the indus
try to the various sections of the
Boise valley, and 1t is of vast i'm
port in view of the fact that the In.
dustry is but in the beginning Of
its progress.
The last year the valleys total
revenue from the poultry industry
was approximately $2,500,000 and
at the industry's present rate Of
growth 1t will soon be several times
this amount.
Next to dairying 1t is the most
important correlative of diversified
agriculture in the valley and thru
it and dairying the farmers of the
different communities are enabled
to market their crops In the form
of concentrates and to eliminate the
great expense of the freight incident
to marketing bulky stuff.

Meetings Discontinued
Until Later in Season

Regular monthly meetings of the
Blackfoot chamber of commerce
will be discontinued during the
months of August and September 1t
was decided at the last meeting of
the board of directors. This action
was taken on account of many mem
bers being away on vacations and the
difficulty of securing full attendance
at the meetings, 1t is stated. The
next regular monthly meeting of the
chamber will be held the second
Monday in October. Matters requir-
ing attention will be acted upon by
the board of directors until that
time.
