VALLEY BIRDS
IN TOP RANK
Exhibitors Can Take
Prizes if They
Enter Stuff

R. T. HURT, secretary of the Gem
State Poultry association. urges all
breeders of pure bred poultry in
Caldwell and vicinity to prepare an
exhibit for the forth coming poultry
show to be held in Caldwell January
5 to 9. Heretofore. according to Mr.
HURT. raisers of poultry in the Cald-
well territory have ycdn negligent
in exhibiting their birds at the local
show. with the result that in many
cases inferior birds entered from out
side points have won the bulk OF the
prizes.
The impression seems to prevail"
Mr.. Hurtt declared, that poultry
raisers in this section are handicapped
with hard competition from outside
birds. This is not the case. however.
as local birds shown at previous
shows have compared favorably with
the best from the outside. What we
need to make this show a continued
success is the united support OF every
poultry raiser in this territory in max
ing an exhibit commensurate with his
flock. 1t has unlimited advantages
for him, also in selling his pure bred
eggs and baby chicks"
Entry blanks will be furnished upon
application to anyone interested. En-
tries are open now and will close
January S.
Plans for housing the show have
been completed. Two vacant store
rooms. east of K;mball avenue on
Main street, have been engaged for
the show. One show room will prob
ably be devoted to turkeys and the
other to poultry. An egg show will
be a novel feature of this years
exhibit.

Caldwell Shares Bitter

Caldwell got its first taste OF

west the first cold snap with tenn

Wednesday morning. the thermomet-
cr suddenly decided to gather NOM

ing, the cold had become intense,
aided in largo measures by the biting
wind. Wednesday the wind had fallen
but temperatures had continued to de-
cline and Wednesday night estab-
lished a new low" for the winter
with an official seven degrees below
zero at the College of Idaho under
the watchful eyes OF DR.. w. J. Boone.
Thursday the cold continued under
clear skies and sun that shone but
failed to warm. Thursday evening.

usual cold were predicted by unoffi-
cal observers.
Asked what he thought Of the out
look for the holidays, DR.. Boone
declined to make forecasts. Wait un-
til after Christmas and l will tell
you what kind OF woather we had.
I'm much better at backcasting than
forccasting."
Like every other western point
where the unusual cold prevails, thcr-
momcicrs dropped perciptiously here
Tuesday afternoon. Just how rapidly
the official thermometer at the college
went down DR.. Boone did not know.

watch the thermometer to see how
fast it dropped
While Tuesday night recorded only
one degree below zero at the college

Wednesday night, unofficial observers
told more elaborate tales Of the cold.
Temperatures OF seven below were re-
ported Tuesday night while Thurs
day brought to Caldwell reports OF

Thus far no damage has been re-
ported by the extreme cold. Frozen
pipes have given their usual trouble
while the demand for alcohol for use
in radiators on the few cars kept
on the streets and roads have been
enormous.

SUIT |SF|LED
To CLEAR PATH
I'm TUITION LAW
George Smith Attacks
Caldwell District; De-
clares Residing Here,
and Children Entitled
to Privileges.

SUIT with potentially far reaching
influence was fled in the district court
here last Friday by George Smith
who. nominally farmer in the Wilder
territory. is attempting to establish
that for school purposes. his res
dcnce in Caldwell and that his two
children should be entitled to Caldwell
school privileges without paying tut
ton as required by the Caldwell
school board pupils from outside who
attend Caldwell schools.
Upon order OF the court. two
Smith children are again attending
Caldwell schools. one at the Lincoln
and the other at the high school. until
the case is settled. Mr.. Smith con
tents that his family are legal resi-
dents OF Caldwell in opposition to the
action OF the school board which. on
November 2l. ordered that further
instruction be withheld from these
children until tuition fees had been
paid. Failure to pay the fees resulted
in formally dropping the two children
from school rolls upon December ;.
Residence Here
According to the complaint filed by
Mr.. Smith. the family moved in
Caldwell from their Fargo farm in
September. 1921, and have made CaId-
well their residence ever since. Mr.
Smith cites that both he and Mrs
Smith have regularly registered al
municipal and general elections held
here since that time. as well as school
elections and that these facts con
'titute evidence of residence. II is
pom this basis, he contends. that
is children are entitled to privileges
Of Caldwell schools without paying
tuition fees.
The school board, in opposing the
stand taken by Mr.. Smith, contend
that the fact that Mr.. Smith owns
md operates farm in the Fargo COM
munity determines his citizcnsh'p p TO
be of that place and that the legal
residence OF thu family corresponds
20 that OF the father. The fact thai
a family maintains a residence in
Caldwell throughout the school year
doesn't change the situation in
he opinion OF the board and OF J. J
Rae. school superintendent
According to school authorities. thi'
s not the first time Mr.. Smith has
aiken school matters to court He
lied an action to set aside the Wilde
iieh school district and this case i
=till pending n Idaho courts. being
now before the supreme court. Mr.
Rae sees in the case a further argu-
ncnt for the state wide school tay
~hich he has been advocating for
Idaho. That state tax will let the
money go where the students go is
he belief of Mr.. Rae who sees in
such law and school tax a method
TO avoid such controversies as the
one brought into the district court
here by Mr.. Smith.
