CALDWELL, IDAHO, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1914.
WEEKLY, $2.00 PER YEAR.
CROWDS ARE HERE FOR
STATE FAIR
With ideal weather the big county
fair opened Wednesday with a record
breaking first-day attendance. There
were fully 5,000 visitors in the city and
the gate passed something over 3,000
to the grounds.
The Livestock show is really the big
attraction at the fair. Over 2,000
head of horses, cattle and hogs are
on. exhibit, and experts pronounce the
show the finest ever seen in the north
west.
Considerable curiosity was aroused
by the Persian sheep, four of which
are on exhibit. The four-day lamb
skin is worth $12.00 which makes
them worth raising. W. S. McAdoo
has his Angoras on hand, and a fine
showing they make.
The poultry exhibit is fully up to
that of last year, which is enough to
attract many visitors.
In the Agriculture Hall the absence
of Emmett was noticed. The Ke
fauver Fruit Farm brought down somie
fine grapes from that burg and helped
out what promised in the early hours |
of Preparation Day to be the poorest
department of the fair. Later the ex
hibits came in very nicely. The seed
corn of Chas. C. Tobias is simply su
perb. The grains, grasses and po
tatoes of L. L. Young are among the
best ever ever shown. Oris McCul
lough has a splendid display of his
apples and Bob White lias a farm ex
hibit that would make the easterner
green with envy.
The precincts exhibits of Fargo and
Fair Acres arc both fine. In corn the
Fair Acres exhibit has the best of it.
but the Fargo exhibit is more varied
and larger. In front of the Fargo
show is a replica of the homestead of
a few years ago, showing in detail the
difficulties of the pioneer.
In the Household and Fine Arts
hall the exhibits were easily up to the
standard and have created enthusiasm.
The Dairy exhibits were not very
numerous but were all good.
The school exhibits were crowded
most of the time. The storm of Wed
nesday night did considerable damage
to the work of the children and it is
hoped some permanent exhibit place
can be arranged another year.
Race Program Good.
The race program Wednesday prov
ed to be one of the best ever provided
for the first day.
On the first day's track program,
Rambling Jitni (G. T. Morgan), went
under the wire first in the first two
heats of the trot or pace, three-min
ute class: Irene Crawford, second;
Marie (J. M. Swank) third; best time,
2:40.
The first heat of the ladies' driv
ing contest ,three-day race) was won
easily by Babe (Roy Hartley of Em
mett) driven by Mrs. Hartley; second,
Stella (Firestone), driven hy Mrs.
Walter Thomas.
In the half-mile running race for
saddle horses, Don (Rowland of Cald?
well), took first money; Elmer (Jus
tus of Nampa), second; Nancy H.
(Justus of Nampa), third; timie,
:54 yi.
There wer« only two entries in the
Shetland pony race, half mile; Lucy
ridden by Howard of Roswell was an
easy winner; Fairy, with Wayne Whif
fen of Caldwell riding, captured the
second money.
Good Relay Race.
The three-mile relay race, which is
to continue throughout the week, was
one of the best of Wednesday's track
attractions. Three strings of horses
were entered, the Justus string from
Nampa, with Stewart riding; Gilbert
& Dory string, Nampa, with Alcorn
riding; Hendrickson siring, Payette,
S. Moss riding. In the first day's heat
the Hendrickson string took first;
Gilbert & Dory second, Justus string
third.
Canyon County Sprinters.
Emmor Kingsbury of Caldwell won
first money; Wayne Gordon of Cald
well, second; Charles Pearsons of Far
go, third, in. the 50-yard dash for
Canyon county boys under 16 years
of age. In the girls' race of the same
class, Ethel Garrison of Caldwell won
first, Helen Stovel of Caldwell second,
Maud Jackson of Middleton third.
The winners of prize imioney in this
event are barred from participating
in the races on succeeding days.
Thursday was a big day all around.
The judging proceeded and for the
most part was finished. Space this
week forbids any description of the
exhibits, but most of The Tribune
readers saw them and need no remind
ers.
The governor ami his staff were a
part of the program, but the race pro
gram proved to be the biggest center
of attraction. The day was warm and
exceptionally clear and the officers of
the course were on their toes. Every
thing went off on schedule and the
crowded grand stand had plenty of
fun.
Fun on the Streets.
As early as Tuesday evening the
streets were thronged in the evening.
The street dance scheduled Wednes
day night was prevented by a sudden
thunderstorm. The masquerade last
night was all that it had promised and
the big time is to be had tonight,
when Nampa will be here in full
strength.
Mrs. H. D. Blatchley, instructor of
art at the College of Idaho, will de
liver a number of lectures this fall
and winter. Her subject is "Evolu
tion of Christian Art." The Gooding
Woman's Club has made arrange
ments for this lecture the evening of
December 18. It will be illustrated
by thirty-three Madonas.

HAROLD BELL WRIGHT
WILL BE AT NAMPA
Harold Bell Wright has made a
dramatization of this most widely
read novel, "The Shepherd of the
Hills," and its third presentation in
this city will take place at the Nampa
Theatre on Monday evening, Oct. 5,
where it plays an engagement.
The play is practically a true nar
rative of life among the humble dwel
lers of the Ozarks. It touches all the
emotions, and its influence is whole
some and helpful, notwithstanding
several rough characters that figure
more or less prominently. The Shep
herd of the story is a cultured stran
ger, who comes into the hills, glad to
escape from the vanities and conven
tionalities to which he has been ac
customed. There is a flock needing
a shepherd, and he thankfully accepts
the lowly occupation of a sheep herd
er, but soon becomes shepherd of a
human flock, the big-hearted moun
taineers, their families, and all who
need a friend and advisor. Among
bis most devoted followers are "Old
Matt" and "Young Matt," the giants
of tile hills: Sammy Lane, glorious in
the beauty of young womanhood, and
poor "Pete," a deranged lad, who un
derstands the voices of nature and
is a mystery of the hills that often ter
rifies, but at last the solution is
brought about by Pete and the shep
herd, and it is the latter who is most
deeply afflicted and concerned. It is
hardly necessary to add that a pretty
romance is woven into the humor,
pathos and tragedy, for the play
throughout is one of human interest
with a conclusion that is thoroughly
satisfactory to "Young Matt," and of
course to the auditors.
Messrs. Gaskill and MacVitty, the
producers, have given the play a su
perb scenic mounting and a cast that
has been carefully selected for its
fitness to each type.
Here is a play worth seeing ira this
day of multitudinous and insipid
drama. Here is a plot. The move
ment is ever onward—there are no re
trograde and meaningless eddies in
this stream of happenings. The cur
rent of events seizes you and takes
you on and on, and when the end
comes you are glad and sorrowful—
glad because so good a play ends as
it does, sorrowful because it ends so
soon.

BRADY MADE GOOD
AS U. S.
Brady
f on
Although Senator James 11.
has served but the short term
year and eight months, he has already
handled, for the citizens of Idaho,
1000 claims of different nature before
all the departments at Washington.
These matters consist of horiiestead,
desert, and enlarged homestead claims,
requests for surveys, pension claims,
the enlargement and changing of rural
routes, and many other departmental
matters important to scores of individ
uals. When it is remembered that
each one of these claims has necessita
ted froiin 1 two to six calls at the depart
ments in question, one can readily
see how devoted Senator Bnady must
be to his work to have successfully
handled so 'many matters. This, of
course, is all outside of his work in
the senate.
Senator Brady is now serving on
the following important committers:
Agricultural and Forestry, Conserva
tion of National Resources, Public
Buildings and grounds, Military Af
fairs, National Banks, Coast and In
sular Survey, Public Health and Na
tional Quarantine, and Expenditures
in the Department of Commerce. It
will be noted that Senator Brady lias
succeeded in getting on the committes
most important to the West. If a new
senator should be sent to Washing
ton in Senator Brady's place, all this
advantage to Idaho would be lost.
HOW TO AVOID FALL COLDS.
A Cold is Not a Trival Disorder; Also
It May Easly be Avoided.
Br. Dr. R. R. Daniels.
The fall is a favorite time for colds,
largely because at this time we both
increase our food, especially our
heavy foods, out of proportion to
what can be readily used up in the
body, and we close up our houses by
robbing the body of fresh aid, we
decrease our power to burn up the
heavy foods. The unused food in the
body and the lessened activity of the
body tissues, lower the body's dis
case resisting power and a cold is the
common result.
Not a Trivial Disorder.
A cold is not as trivial a matter as
most people suppose; not only is it a
warning that the body's disease-re
sisting power is low, but many ser
ious diseases follow in the wake of
an ordinary cold. A cold is a dis
order to be avoided: incidentally,
cold can be easily prevented. The
first essential in avoiding colds is not
to over-eat, and to keep the digestion
in good condition by eating only eas
ily digested foods, avoiding fried
foods and pastries. Chronic gas in
the bowels, a coated tongue and
bad taste in the mouth all indicate
that food is failing to be digested, is
fermenting and decomposing and
poisoning the body. Such a distur
bance in the body frequently gets the
system ripe for a cold.
A Bad Air Disease.
The next essential in avoiding colds
is plenty of fresh air. Colds are prev
alent only during the time of year
when we are "housed up." Ventilate
your house or office by opening wide
the windows for a few minutes several
times daily. Get plenty of fresh air at
night. Outdoor sleeping is almost a
certain preventative for colds
Don't Overclothe or Neglect the Skin
The worst colds of the season are
often contracted just as the change is
made from light to heavy underwear.
It is a mistake to wrap the body in
heavy woolen underwear, to overheat
the skin and render it sensative to
weather changes. Our winter under
wear should be cotton and of fairly
light weight. The skin should be kept
active by a daily sponge bath or a
thorough rubbing with a dry towel.
Such care of the skin will keep it ac
tive. An active skin adjusts the body
to various weather changes, and along
with fresh air and proper food condi
tions will positively prevent colds.
There will be services at the Cath
olic church Sunday. First mass at 8
o'clock. Second mass at 10:30. Sun
day school at 9:45. L. Marx, S. M.

THAT'S WHAT HE SAYS.
Moses says lie is going to be elect
ed governor. He might be in a hope
less minority in that surmise. He
reminds us of that little old story
originated by Dave Day, down in
Colorado, in the live old days of the
old sunny San Juan.
The story was to the effect that at
a school session the teacher one day
asked the pupils who was the mother
of Moses.
"Pharaoh's daughter," responded
one of the bright youngsters.
"No," said the teacher, "you will
remember that it was she who found
Moses in the bullrushes."
Oh, that's all right," laconically re
sponded the boy, "that's what she
said."—Pocatello Tribune,

GALLED UPON TO
MAKE GOOD-HE
WILL QUIT
Geo. W. Stovel, county recorder,
yesterday made formal and written
demand on Will Monk, county treas
urer, that he make definite and speci
fic charges against the conduct of the
recorder's office in, order that the
charges may be proved or disapprov
ed. Mr. Monk anil associates have
by insinuation rather than direct
Ii arge made serious accusations. Mr.
Stovel knows that there is no ground
for the charges and will compel Sir.
Monk to show his hand. If lie is
honest and sincere lie will reduce his
charges to writing as demanded by
Mr. Stovel or else repudiate them.
Mr. Stovel will press his demands
on Mr. Monk. The latter gentleman
will have to come through one way or
another.
Che following is the demand serv
ed on Mr. Monk yesterday by Mr.
Stovel:
Caldwell, Idaho, October 1, 1914
To Will Monk, County Treasurer:
It has come to my notice that you
have, in public meetings, made certain
charges against myself and my of
fice. 1 now demand of you that you,
on or before October 5, 1914, reduce
these charges to writing, specifically
stating dates and circumstances of
any alleged misconduct upon my part
and that you sign the said charges,
and make yourself responsible there
for, in writing.
This demand is made in order that
I may know with certainty what your
charges are; that I may fully refute,
and which I shall call upon you to
prove in other ways than by irres
ponsible insinuations.
GEO. W. STOVEL,
County Recorder.
The Trouble With Will
Monk, County Treasurer
Two years ago Will Monk was a
candidate for county treasurer on the
Republican ticket. The transaction
in regard to the bonds to which he
now refers bad already taken place.
Yet two years ago Mr. Monk had
nothing to say. If anything is wrong
it was wrong two years ago and Mr.
Monk by his present statements con
victs himself of being a party to the
action.
We would say however that the
bond question is not the thing that is
worrying Will Monk. He is not in
terested in the welfare of the people
of Canyon County to the extent to
which he lays claim. As a matter of
fact his present bitterness against the
Republican party is due to the fact
that Republican county officials stop
ped him from realizing unjustly and
illegally some $96.00.
January 7, 1911, Will Monk filed a
claim against Canyon County in the
sum of $498.15. His salary as county
treasurer at the time was $100 per
month and the claim was for three
months' salary; $96.00 extra and addi
tional salary and $2.15 office expen
ses. The Republican county commis
sioners called Mr. Monk in to explain
and he had no reasonable explanation
to offer. The county attorney advised
the board to disallow the claim for ad
ditional salary. The board informed
Mr. Monk of its decisions and he
withdrew his claim.
If the claim was just and legal why
did he withdraw it? If it was un
just and illegal why did he present it?
Mr. Monk might offer a few expla
nations, himself.
