are planning to have the event of
years at their annual meeting, which
will take place in Drummond hall
next week, Wednesday,. There will
be among other things a fine supper,
at which the gentlemen will be their
guests, and there will also be other
invited guests. There is consider
able dramatic talent in the club, it
Is said, and dramatic entertain
ment will be the browning feature
of the evenings entertainment
There will also be other interesting
features, and the business meeting
is to take place previous to the ar
rival of the guests.
Considerable interest over the
coming town meeting, which comes
next Monday, is developing, and
some little controversy is expected
at that time. All three of the pres
ent board of selectmen will again be
candidates. The friends of James E.
Kenney, the present chairman of the
board, desire him to serve again in
that capacity, but 1t is said that con-
siderable opposition to this has de-
veloped among the friends of Charles
A. Gould, the second member of the
board, and will nominate and sup
port him in opposition to Mr.. Ken
ney. Whether or not either of these
candidates would accept second or
third position on the board is not
known, but as both have been on the
board before this year, Mr.. Gould
some years ago, and Mr.. Kenney for
a number of years last past, In the
various positions in rotation, it is
presumed that they would. Percy

these have engaged Iva Groves, who
will cook meals for this quartet at

GUN BATTLE rs
STAGED NEAR BLISS

A miniature gun-battle staged al
the Adams ranch west of Bliss Satur-
day evening resulted in the placing
under 500 peace bond of w. p.
Adams, Wilbert Farrour, Henry Pru-
EFT, L. Nj Pruett and Albert Palmer,
all OF Bliss. Gooding county officials
give the following account of the
fracus:
The cause of the battle was the
sighting remarks that Palmer alleg-
ed Farrour made to Miss Alice Pru-
EFT. The young men decided to set
tie the quarrel by a fistic engage
ment but each time they met one or
the other decided that his opponent
had too much backing. Then on
Saturday Palmer and the Pruett
brothers went to the Adams ranch,
where Farrour is employed as hired
man, and tried to get Farrour to set
tie the quarrel. Mr.. Adams ordered
the Pruet brothers and young Palmer
off the ranch. They left, but return
ed soon. On their return guns, rocks,
sticks, bolts and other missiles were
brought into play and about forty
rounds of ammunition were fired by
both sides according to reports.
Fortunately and rather remarkab-
ly none of the combatants were in
jured, though Henry Pruett narrow
ly escaped a serious wound when one
bullet parted his hair and grazed
his scalp. When their ammunition
was exhausted the attacking force
went home.
On Sunday both sides reported in
person to Sheriff James Barlogi and
made complaints which resulted in
Ill of the parties involved being
brought before Judge E. E. Brandt of
The probate court Notwithstanding
Leader.

The Gloom Gallopers do not get SO
much encouragement as they did
once upon a time, but they are per-
sistent cusses They are out now
with a wall that the dairy industry
is about to be overdone-
Increasing production of the bet
ter COW increase in the number OF
such animals, are bound to do 1T,
they croak. There will be more milk
than the human race can consume !;
butter will be a drug on the market! !
These pessimistic predictions, as
usual, fail wholly to take into con-
sideration elemental facts. One is
that the human race is growing fast
er than the dairy industry. If in the
next two generations the dairy in
dustry catches up with 1t, the indus
try will become vastly more import
ant than it is today. Webster dis
posed of all such arguments as these
prophets of woe assemble in his stand
for enlargement of the nations areas.
without any increase in popula-
ton, milk and butter are coming nat
uraIly into larger use Considera-
ton of health is one cause. Doctors
recommend them. There is an in
creasing consumption of cheese. Still
this country is far behind dnterna-
tional standards of consumption and
importing cheesel Everything points
to marked increase in demand for
the goods of Mrs. Cow. Greater eff
cheney in dairying is another ele-
ment along the line of increased prof
it's with heavier production.
Idaho is natural dairy state.
Many states are not. The COW has
stabilized farming here, and the
more COWS Of the better grades the
more money Idaho will make in this
rapidly growing national market. 1t
shortly will not be only case OF
selling cream and butter by this
state but of selling ds4ry cattle. We
will become a rival of Wisconsin,
which in 1925 sold nearly $4,000
head to outside buyers. Wisconsin
had over 100000 COWS and heifers
over two years old the first of this
year, an increase of 10000 for the
year. In five years the increase there
has been per cent, despite sales of
1884, 600 head during that period.
Overproduction OF croakers is far
more to be feared than overproduc-
ton of cows

THE MAN WHO MAKES

man grown gray in building up
a business institution told the writer
he doubted if he would have tackled
| the job if he had known!
81 have succeeded, yes-but the
cost of being misunderstood, the cost
of the ceaseless grind, the cost of
the heartaches take away something
from the satisfaction of business
success. The load of responsibility
as to the business has been heavy.
but heavier yet has been the load of
responsibility for the many employ
ees for whom 1 feel an unreciprocat-
ed concern"
"Unreciprocated concern!" Re-
member that expression, voiced in a
spirit of somber kindness.
There is many another like this
mantle man who has made" and
who is presumed to be couched on a
bed of roses. Misjudged by the hate
full, condemned by the thoughtless
and by the shiftless, discredited even
by those for whom he has provided
desirable berths and whose disloyal
ty and disinterestedness he has spent
many weary hours to overcome
thorns!
The man who wins on the field of
battle is acclaimed hero while the
popular fever is on, but if death does
not shortly intervene, he may be pit
ilessly pried off the pedestal.
The man who succeeds in state
craft, lionized in the enthusiasm of
a fleeting hour, is sentenced to iso-
lation and distrust as the pendulum
swings to less deserving favorites.
The man who puts over an indus
trial enterprise of vital Importance
to the public is slapped on the back
and then in the face as laggards bob
up ebulient at the festival.
1t has been so for all recorded |
time. In way it is expected. 1t
will probably go on forever in pub
lie relationships; but there should
be an exception for those who quiet
ly go about the labor and duty of
building enterprises, supplying OPP
portunities to many, comforting ben
ef1ts upon many more-the man who
makes payrolls, prosperous condi-
ions, who helps to make possible the
home, the church, the school-who
makes so much for others, so little
or himself; who carries the burdens
through the strenuous day, the wor-
lies through the torturing night.
At least he should enjoy the loyal
Import and be made to feel the warm
of those he carries along.

or the man who makes-who builds :

IDAHO INDUSTRIES
FOSTER HOME TRADE

Complaints have been received
from all sections of the state by the
Idaho Home Industries Association
concerning the granting of conces-
sions in ball parks and in public ac-
tivities to itinerant peddlers or
those who refuse to sell local manu-
featured products. In several towns
in the state ball park coneessionaires
are selling soft drinks, candies and
other CONNECTIONS, not only made out
side of the home town but in many
instances imported from outside of
the state
Home town business men and man
ufacturers make ball clubs and
many other community activities pos
sfble. They underwrite and guaran-
tee with their donations these ac-
tivities; create an attraction for the
home folks and actually bring bust
ness TO the town. It is manifest that
ordinary fairness demands that mon
ey raised by popular subscription
should be spent, as far as possible,
at home. 1t is also very obvious that
concessions made by these business
men should sell only home products
if they can be secured.
In most instances the home manu-
featured candy is fresher and of a
much better quality than that inn
ported from outside the state. The
same is true of soft drinks. The
sale of these products by the conces-
helps to increase the bust
ness of these mountaineering estab-
lishments and better payrolls result.
The payrolls and employees make
further community activities posi-

The Idaho Home Industries Asso-
citation is making a campaign thru
out the state to have local conces-
sions use home products. It has
been noted in some instances that
the printing for local activities has
also been done outside of the home
town. This is obviously unfair to
the home town printer and newsp-
per man who gives great deal Of
valuable publicity to all home activi-
ties and industries.
