AMERICAN LEGION NOTES

The large flag on the Legion flag
pole is now down again, and badly
torn from whipping in the wind. We
believe it is impossible to fly an or
dinary flag at that height without be-
coming damaged, even in Idaho,
where the wind never blows. The
remedy seems to be the purchase OF
a regular canvas storm flag, but at
the present time. funds are not
available, even for this worthy pur-
pose.
Next Monday evening, October 6,
is regular Legion night, and as there
is much important business to look
after, we urge a good attendance.
Don't forget the date, but if you do,
you will be reminded of it by the
boom of one of Sergeant Joe Levines
big Tbs, at six o'clock That will
be the signal to hustle around and
get to the hall by eight.

ELDRIDGE SAYS POWER
AMENDMENT ROBS PEOPLE
(From the statesman)

The Democratic platform is a
''straddle," ]. B. Eldridge, Progress
sive candidate for the supreme court,
charged in campaign speech in the
high school auditorium here Tues
day night. The Bourbons have one
foot on one side of the fence and an
other on the other side so that "we
cannot tell where they stand" ne ad-
ded. He charged the present admin
istration with presenting constitu-
tional amendment so limiting the
appropriation of water power sites as
to take their birth right from the
people.
The speaker opposed the federal
reserve system, he said, in that the
legislation created private corpora
tion which controlled the issue of
money.
Charles w. Booth, Progressive
state chairman, presided. Two hun
dred and fifty persons attended, Mr..
declared that bureaucracy
has increased until now there is one
officer to every II persons. Some
where it must stop, he concluded.

b. L. WELLS RECEIVES
SLIGHT INJURY

B. L. Wells met with an accident
Monday while pruning in the Wells
orchard, three miles east OF town
that might have been far more seq
ious. While working from the top
of an eight foot ladder, the ladder
gave way causing him to fall to the
ground, striking fair on his back. He
was rendered unconscious for some
time and was taken to the house by
his son who was working with him
at the time. He was able to come
to Payette Tuesday but was badly
bruised and will not be able to work
for several days.

SOIL PRODUCES
GOOD RESULTS

The Payette Valley has always
been noted for fertility soil and
many stories have been written re-
garding heavy production, but the
best demonstration we have seen for
many years is the S-acre tract OF
onions grown by Denney & Co. one
mile east of Fruitland- This tract
was beautiful sight dur.-g tx
growing season, splendid stand and
not weed in sight. but since the
crop has been gathered and placed
in boxes it is almost beyond belief,
that the onions now in boxes stand
ing in the field to dry were grown
on the land so covered They are
of a white variety, large and uni
form in size, and estimated to yield
500 bushels per acre. On the same
20 acre tract is now growing an
equally prosperous looking expert
mental crop of two acres of celery,
and 80 acres of lettuce. The lettuce
is well advanced and the harvesting
will begin within the next ten days
While the celery is only an expert
ment, there is every indication that
it will be a one hundred percent sue
cess, but will not be ready to ship be-
fore the last OF October. The Com
pany have other fields of lettuce in
that locality, which in Sll aggregate
about 85 acres. During the greater
part of the season the company have
had from 20 to 40 men on the pay
roll under the general management
of E. M. Dean and Zack Walker, field
manager.
The Fruitland bench can still be
called the garden spot of Idaho, |
while they, like all other sections of |
he Pacific northwest this year, are
a little short on fruit, due to the |
unusual frost last spring, all other
;rops are exceptionally good and the |
,lty of Fruitluand will be the ship
ping center for many cars of product |
IN driving through that section, one
,an't help but be impressed with a |
feeling of pride; good roads where
ever you go, well-kept homes, fine /
dairy herds and poultry nocks, and |
above all; plenty of water for irri-
CATION.

THEIR MUSIC HATH CHARMS

The Enterprise is in hearty accord
with and stands staunchly behind
any movement which is clean and in
structive and which is good and
Wholesome for the people of the
community. Payette can boast of
many such but, in this particular
case, we desire to call attention to
the excellent music being broad
casted" by the young peoples choir
of the Methodist church of this city.
They have launched out upon their
new years work with vim which
is invigorating This is the third
year for them and we contend they
are rapidly approaching the profess
sional class.
They have procured quantity of
new music and every Sunday even
ing hears about thirty of their lusty
voices pouring forth their newly ac-
quired melodies with all the skill and
vigor of their clean, youthful. lusty
souls. Their able product is an in
spiration to their listeners to do and
be something worth while. We al
ways regret that there must be a
last number in each program, and it
doesn't cost cent. We are promised
an extra good service next Sunday
evening at 1880 p. m. We will be
there. Come along with us. 1t will
do you good and make the balance
Of your week more pleasant and
profitable.
