The band played. and then the
delegates settled down TO take one
more ballot.
The first two ballots revealed that
the old Jim Reed-anti-Reed fight
still thrives In Missouri. The Reed
delegates in the Missouri delegation
objected TO being bound by the unit

for McAdoo. After poll of the
delegation on the first ballot. the
same demand was made on the
second. Just as the second ballot

HALLOWE' EN- BALL
FRIDAY, OCT. 81

Arrangements for the staging of
the grand ball Hollowe'en evening
for the benefit Of the Payette county
band are rapidly reaching the point
Of perfection. The Elks' club which
is in active charge Of the arrange
ments are working with their un-
equalled efficiency which alone spells
success for the event:
Special decorations have been or
dered and will be placed next week
a few days rrior 70 the ball A new
feature at this event will be hourly,
favors and special features which will
add materially 10 the merriment of
the evening. The committee in charge
promises a number of new and novel
surprises.
The ticket sale will start Satur-
day, October 25th and will be hand
led by the members Of the Elks' club.
When the tickets are offered to you
remember the many pleasant con-
certs which the band has given dur
ing the summer and buy all you pos
sibly can. The Payette chamber of
commerce has sponsored the band
and has obligated itself 10 see that
the expenses are met, the chamber
has carried the full load during the
year but at this time finds that it
will be at least $4,000 short of the
necessary funds to fulfill its obliga-
tion. The ball will not only be an
enjoyable event Tor those liking dane
ing but it will furnish an opportun-
ity for those who enjoy the band TO
contribute small share of the ex-
pense Of maintaining the band. This
offers an opportunity Tor many peo-
pie TO help with a small amount
which in the finals viii meet the
obligations.
When you hand over your dollar
for ticket, you may be sure that
practically every cent of it will go
to the fund for the band as the bail
will be put on with practically no ex-
pense, the hail has been donated by
the owner Mr.. Thacker and the band
will furnish the music without pay,
the only expense being for a few
small items like advertising and
decorations. Buy your tickets early.
do your share.

OUR POCKETBOOKs

II is difficult to understand how
any farmer or stock raiser-in fact,
any business man who depends, as
all Southeastern Idahoans do, upon
the success of the agricultural work
er-could vote for any party which
has, as one of its aims, revision OF
the tariff.
We live under prosperous condl-
tions only while we have a protec-
tive tariff. Practically everything
the farmer buys for his ranch is on
the free list while practically every
thing he raises is protected by duty.
The recent rapid trend of rising
prices for farm products is largely
the result of the tariff.
True. it has come slowly because
of the tremendous postwar problems,
but it is here. If the farmer wants
to continue this and reap prosperity,
he should vote the Republican ticket.
If he does not care whether panicky
conditions again prevail, he should
vote against the Republican ticket.
1t is safe to say that great majority
of the people of Idaho will vote for
their pocketbooks.

CAR THIEVES
At WORK

A Buicl, car belonging to L. H
Patten OF Little Willow was stolen
from the street late Saturday night.
The car was driven to town by Dewey
Patten Saturday evening and left
parked on Main street near the EN-
ma theatre, and was found missing
soon after one O'Clock Sunday morn
ing. It is believed the parties tax
ing the car were in Nyssa later in
the night as at that place a service
station was broken into where gaso-
line and a tire was stolen, and a
Buick car seen on the street about
two O'Clock in the morning, the tread
of the rear wheels comparing with
those on the Patten car. Sheriff
Jefferis was Immediately notified
and is making every effort to locate
the stolen property.
Two men were seen by Mr.. Hani-
gan, who was on his way home about
1915 that were probably the parties
who stole the car. They were ap-
parently investigating some cars
parked on the side street near the
theatre, and when Mr.. Hanigan came
in sight they walked away A few
minutes later Mr.. Hanigan returned
to mail some letters, and saw them
again leaving the cars.
