WHY A CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
IN THIS CITY

The following excellent editorial
on "Why Commercial Club in Hail
ey," is just as applicable to this city
and answers a large part of the ques-
ton of why have a chamber of COM
merce in this city:
United action on the part of a
community is essential now for the
accomplishment of anything really
worth while There are so many
conflicting interests-so much pull
ing this way and that-that most
energy is dissipated and lost. 1t must
be directed at some definite object to
be of any use whatever. This is just
as true in a small municipality such
as HALEY as it is in the larger cities.
There is just one agency for this
united action and that is the com
mercial club. 1t cannot be obtained
through a secret or fraternal order;
through a church, through a bridge
whist club or through political
party; but members of all these or
CARNATIONS, and others, can meet on
common ground in the Commercial
Club and be free there to work shout
der to shoulder with their neighbors
for the accomplishment of a definite
purpose. There is room there and
work to do for Masons, Odd Fellows,
and Eagles; Catholics, Baptists, and
Republicans, Demo-
Gratis and Progressives.
All this refers to the practical
things that are demanded in this
age in every wide-awake
community in the land. It marks
the fundamental difference between |
stagnation and progress.

IDAHo's SUGAR OUTPUT

The capacity of Idaho's eight beet
sugar factories is 100000 bags OF
100 pounds each - 100000, O0C
pounds of sugar a year.
Around a million tons of beets
are required to meet this capacity
At the average price per ton paid the
past two years to growers, they
would receive $7,25O,OOO a year if
keeping the factories going to full
capacity. Last year they received
sS,s5O,OOO.

be won is the right to head the Lee
gion parade at Philadelphia. This
prize is awarded on the greatest per-
centage of gain in membership over
the four years previous. Idaho's
average membership for the past
four years was 1880; we already
have 1900 members; this contest
closes June 18th; Florida has lead
the national Legion parade for the
past two years, and Florida Legion
naires have taken advantage of the
opportunity to advertise their states
resources; last year at Omaha our
position in the parade was twenty
seventh, but nevertheless we car
ried Idaho bannerh and the famous
Idaho potatoes. In addition we
maintained an exhibit in the down
town business district of Omaha
where thousands saw Idahoe grains,
grasseh, fruits and vegetable"
Eve also furnished Idaho lamb,
peas. beans, cheese and potatoes to
the hotels and restaurants and they
appeared on the menus as Idaho
products"
1.-THE State Chamber of Commerce
at the recent meeting of its execu-
tive committee, passed a resolution
pledging their full cooperation in
our efforts to advertise the state at
these national conventions and have
requested their member bodies to use
their influence in assisting the Lee
gion to secure additional members
in order that this Department may
lead the mammoth parade at Phila-
delphia
eve are already assured of a
place near the head of the parade
at Philadelphia, but we want to lead
it, we want to advertise Idaho's
lumber, minerals, fruits, grains and
vegetables not only to the hundreds
of thousands of Legionnaires who
will be in the Quaker City, but also
to the still greater numbers of citi-
zens who will see the parade

means devised for granting a longer
life to the timber going into con-
struction. Brick began to be used
more extensively for construction,

Similar changes came about in

TIRED OF IT

If Idaho people had to pay the
rates for service charged in foreign
countries, and to submit to such
miserable service as provided by gov
eminent owned lines, every promoter
of government ownership would be
given a prompt pass out.
Here, for example, we get long
distance call through in a few min
utes to even remote places, In Italy
it has taken an average of four hours
wait before long distance call
could be passed on the government
lines. That, with the loss, infu-
enced the government to dispose of
its telephone lines to private com
panies that propose to put into eff
feet American-like methods of com
munication.
That action of the Italian govern
ment followed its decision to aband-
on operation of its inefficient rail
road systems.
Government ownership sounds
pretty, and many specious arguments
may be built up around it.
Roger Babson, in this weeks bus
mess letter, points out that it has
never been successful in this or any
other country.
Idaho people are to be congratu-
lated that they have never listened
to the siren voice of its proponents.

Last week we pointed out the de
STABILITY of sugar beet raising from
the standpoint both of rotation and
profits. If Idaho farmers, living in
state whose soil is peculiarly adap-
ted to the growing of sugar beets,
would put in enough acreage to keep
the factories going full blast they
would materially increase their in
come. Going on with it, more fac
tories, engagements to present
plants, would be required, thereby
adding to payrolls and agricultural
receipts.
It is encouraging to note that Ida
hos sugar beets averaged almost
twice as much per acre in 1925 as in
1924, indicating increased interest in
the crop and, as stated, a growing
appreciation of it's profits. In Utah,
where sugar beets have been grown
proftably for years, the per acre
output is higher, but the sugar con-
tents of the Idaho beet is higher, be-
ing average IT'S as against Utah's
1919 per cent.

Three Types of Coat silhouettes

to you ii won't matter so mucn
whether 1t is made of the finest sort
of fur or whether it is most up-to-date
in cut 1t is the collar that either
makes or unmakes a coat so far as
becomingness is concerned. A great
deal of attention has been given to
the sleeves in the new coats-but they
are not so important.
There are, roughly speaking, three
types of coat silhouette this Autumn.
The blouse back the ''wrappy" and
the straight line'--at least these are
the terms used by the makers of
women's coats. For the coat that
must be worn for some time the
straight line is still perhaps the best
selection.
Beige. gray. black, dark green and
a variety of deep wine redS-theSe are
the colors most often chosen for cool
weather coats. Tweed mixtures with
reddish brown or gray or tan pre-
dominant are extremely smart and
are relieved from the severely sports
aspect when they are finished with a
fox collar.
