WILL PLANT
EIGHTY ACRES
TO BROOM CORN

]. ". Mahoney and James May
have leased 35 acres Of the Cox
farm, just 1outh OF Payette, which
they will plant TO broom corn this
year which may be the means OF
creating a new industry for this sec
tion. It is not altogether an expert
ment with Mr. Mahoney as he has
had. considerable experience in the
production Of broom corn in the
state Of Oklahoma before coming 70
Idaho It has been produced in this
locality in a small way, and mas
proven to be a wonderful success.
Several carloads were shipped TO the
coast market from Nampa last sea-
son bringing from 800 TO $3.50 per
ton, and yielding from one-half TO
of ton per acre
Broom corn requires but little irri-
cation and might become z profitable
dry farm crop. The climate and soil
in this section is particularly adapt
ed TO its production for quality. We
will look forward 10 the results OBJ
tanned by these men with the hopes
that it may be the means Of start
ing a new industry, and that some
day Payette may have a broom fac
tory.

RESPECT THE FLAG


The officers Of the American
Legion wish TO extend their thanks
to the goodly number of Ex-seryiee
men, who responded to our request
to appear in uniform on May Day
This matter is quite important in the
proper observance Of any occasion
where q parade is a part OF the days
events. 1t is q difficult task TO pre-
vail upon the boys 10 don their old
uniform. and for several reasons In
the first place, the novelty of the
uniform is q thing of the past. Then
they are mighty uncomfortable. II
the army, there seemed 10 be but
two sizes, too large and too small.
AS a consequence, they are illfitting
and serve to make the wearer feel
rather out of place. Then, a majority
of the boys have not preserved their
uniform and even if il does exist, is
rather shabby and delapidated- But
these suits may now be obtained al
a very reasonable cost and for dura-
bility, we believe are hard to dupli-
cate. We believe the custom OF
wearing uniforms on lalI patriotic
that civilians should show their en-
thusiam with cheers and applause.
when detail of uniformed men, are
passing.
But one detail of the days events
caused disappointment. This was
in the matter Of proper courtesy TO
the flag. We observed with much
embarrassment that very few re-
moved their hat as the flag was pass
ing by. This. in Military ParIence, is
grave nSubordinatiOn, and an Of
fence that is punishable by court
martial. We refuse 10 believe that
the people OF Payette are devoid OF
proper respect for the flag OF their
country. But what then. is the rea-
son? Possibly it is lack of knowl-
edge with many, but We rather ina
gine that il is more OF a lack Of
initiative with the Individual Each
one awaits the actions OF the other,
and finally decides that it is but g
small matter, anyway. We respect
fully request that on all future oc-I
casions, when the flag is passing
the citizens will maintain proper
respect to the flag OF their country.
A man or boy should remove his
hat, place it over the left breast and
stand erect while the flag is passing.
A lady does not remove the hat, but
places her hand over the left breast.
Watch the Boy Scouts, the Cir
Scouts or the Campfire Girls and
you will see this bit Of Courtesy
executed.
Sometime previous 10 Memorial
Day. We intend to present 2 full set
Of rules governing Flag Etiquette.
and trust that the good people of our
country will join in the spirit OF the
OCCASION. There is nothing humili- i
ating about this. II is not bowling
down to anyone 1t is merely up
an Ideal. and displaying q
proper courtesy due the Flag of our
Country, for which countless thou
sands have fught and died.

AMERICAN
LEGION OOINGs

The American Legion meeting OF
Monday evening, was attended Dy z
very enthusiastic bunch Of fellows
The new Ritual work was put OF for
the first time, and by the aid OF the
beautiful new Emblem lamp, the
occasion was very interesting and
impressive
DR.. Z. r. Wells, chairman Of the
Legion Athletic Committee gave a
good report as 10 the progress Of the
Twilight baseball club, which ne IS
whipping into shape. He named the
amount needed 10 purchase the ne
cessary equipment, and this sum
was raisen in short order, BY the
contribution OF S1-00 each, from
the members present
The office of Legion Chaplain,
which was recently made vacant,
was filled by the election Of Lillian
Robinson. This office hss hereto
fore been considered unimportant,
but now that the Ritual work has
been adopted, the Chaplain Is very
valuable and necessary official.
The fost important topic under
discussion was the details OF the
big Memorial Day Celebration which
the I,egluu is planning for May 30
Brigadeer General Patch, chairman
Of this affair, announced his various
committees for this occasion, and
they will begin active preparation
within z few days The American
Legion has never fell down on any
thing taken in hand but We feel
sure that this effort will eclipse
them all. Nearby Posts will cooper
ate with US, and assist in the days
program. Full details will appear
later, and in the meantime, We
trust that everyone viii arrange TO
spend the day with US. and enter IN
10 the spirit of the occasion We
also request that the custom OF
celebrating the day without the use
OF fire crackers, may be observed
again this year We feel that this
is but right and just, out Of respect
70 our older dead
We feel quite iubilent over the
results of the uniform system OF
Flags which the Legion has installed
in this city. Practically all business
firms on Main street have signed up
for one of these outfits and We feel
assured that within 3 short time
everyone will have one On Friday
afternoons Several teams of Le-
giouaires viii start out and solicit
the balance Of the firms in all sec
tions OF the business district, as well
as in the offices upstairs. These
latter outfits, are supplied with
brackets 70 attach TO the side OF the
building and the flag will be sus-
pended from the pole in this manner
instead OF having slot eemented
near the curbing. The esidence dis
tricts viii also be solicited as many
have already requested on OF these
outfits, and We expect this system
throughout the entire city This
eliminates the necessity of decoTat-
ing all gala occasions and requires
but a minute TO insert the flag pole
in the slot and then they present
uniform appearance throughout the
city
These outfits consist of & fine
flag. size 4x6 feet, ten foot pole and
halyard, and with metal slot cement
ed in sidewalk or bracket 10 attach
to house. The service is also includ-
ed in the price, which is Sass We,
trust that { liberal response will
await this latest Legion movement
