CO-OPERATION MEANS
SUCCESS.
Boost, Don't Knock.
(By O. V. Badley.)
This is an age, or day, of co-oper
ation and the men, communities or
organizations wh«( combine their
brawn and brains for a common pur
pose, or object in view, are just as
certain to succeed as their efforts arc
intelligently applied and their cause
is a just and commendable one.
truer maxim was never uttered
than the one by the rail splitter when
he said "A House Divided against it
self cannot stand." This not only
applies to nations and states, but es
pecially cities, and this brings us
down to our text, "Boost, Don't
knock."
Caldwell is the best town in the best
county in the best state in the best
nation this side of the Pearly Gates,
and lucky is the man or woman so
fortunate as to enjoy habitation un
der its benign influence. Believing
this assumption to be self evident the
question arises: Why shouldn't Cald
well be the best, cleanest, most pros
perous city and the most ideal place to
live and do business one can find in
the entire northwest. We believe it is
but feel sure conditions could be im
proved materially, by a broader sym
pathy, a better understanding and
more co-operation between our inhab
itants and business men. It is a sad
fact that every community is infested
with a coterie of grouchy knockers,
who seem to delight and grow fat,
standing on the street corners inflict
ing passers-by with their venenious
vaporings, and with bad livers and en
larged galls, work the civic bile out of
their diseased body politic, on any
one who comes in earshot of their un
holy sophistry.
1 repeat, all communities are infest
ed with these civic leeches, and we
are ashamed to own that Caldwell is
afflicted with a few of them, but the
time will come when their father,
Beelzebub will gather them to his
bosom, and we shall know them no
more; "uod Speed the Day."
I believe Caldwell has fewer of these
pessimists than any town in Idaho,
but it is a matter of common know
ledge that many good people and
scores of home-seekers have been
driven out of the town and communi
munity, its laws, people and condi
tions. Every place has its drawbacks
and homeseekers are not looking for,
nor expecting to find a paradise here
below. They are entitled to know
facts as they really exist and
among other facts are these: there
are more opportunities, cheaper land,
better water rights, more perfect cli
mate, better schools and churches,
and more ideal community with few
er drawbacks here, than they will find
anywhere in the entire west. This be
ing the condition, coupled with tht
fact that in Canyon county alone,
there is room and uncultivated land
to support at least ten thousand fam
ilies and homes.
The Panama Exposition will bring
several million to the west, many of
these will be prospective home-seek
ers. looking for the most ideal place
to locate and invest their savings.
Caldwell and Boise Valley are en
titled to a large number of these set
tlers and it is now up to us, individ
ually and collectively, as business
men, farmers, professional men, la
borers, housewives, bachelors, old
maids and all, to discuss and adopt
ways and means to bring many of
these people to Boise Valley. We
need more settlers, more money, more
factories, pay rolls and railroads.
Many of our farmers have spent their
all bringing their lands into a state of
cultivation. While those who came
here without means have borrowed
all they can on their land and stock
and the surest and best way for them
to liquidate is to sell part of their too
large holdings.
We must have more settlers, which
means more money, more business,
more homes, better times, better
prices and better values. It is
up to us to bring about this condi
tion. Let's forget past mistakes, high
taxes dishonest officials, personal
grievances, town jealousies and ev
ery man, woman and child in Can
yon county to get into the boosting
game. Let's make the Caldwell slo
gan mean no sympathy, no employ
ment, no credit, no use and no mercy
for th knocker, whether he be found
on the Commercial Bank coiner, in
the office store, shops, or on the
farm.
This will be the first and best
step for a bigger, ^ better, happier,
more prosperous Caldwell and Con
yon county. KNOCK THE KNOCK
ERS AND DO IT NOW.

Fact is what we want.

You can test it.
J. 11. Bowman, farmer, 412 Blaine
street, Caldwell, says: "For years I
have used Doan's Kidney Pills, when
my kidneys have been out of order
and have caused backache. 1 have al
ways had relief. The other remedies
I tried did me no good, but Doan's
Kidney Pills took hold of the trouble
at once and soon had me well. Doan 's
Kidney Pills are in a class by them
selves, and all kidney sufferers should
give them a trial."

John Newport ,who is at the Can

when a gasoline lamp which he was
repairing exploded, is getting along

worst burns were about his face and
eyes which were about his face and
the flames. His arms from elbows
down were badly burned and his
hair burned off. The burns would

There were not a few anxious
faces to be seen upon the campus
Sunday noon when it became gen
rally known that the supposed case
of chicken-pox at Finney Hall had de
veloped into smallpox. A few of the
girls left at once, fearing that the hall
would be quaranteed. The men of
Voorhees Hall were worried lest the
dining room should be closed to them.
Dr. Cole, however, solved the diffi
culty by guaranteeing the third floor
' I* inney Hall and by promptly
vaccinating every occupant of both
dormitories. It was decidedly a novel
sight to behold the forty or fifty men
and women assembled at Finney Hall
Sunday afternoon with their left arm
bared to the shoulder, each awaiting
his or her turn at the hands of the
surgeon. Every one accepted the sit
uation with great good humor, sev
eral expressing their desire to be vac
cinated again. The question of the
hour is "how's your arm?"
A further spread of the disease is
not anticipated as every preventative
measure has been taken to check it.
Nearly every student is back at work
and all seem confident of escaping the
disease.
The subject chosen for the Cleaver
debates are always interesting and
imely. The general subject announ
ced for this year's debate is Interna
tional Peace for American nations
among themselves. In view of the
present world situation and the tur
moil which still continues to' make
things lively in Mexico, the debate
this year should be unusually inter
esting and deserving of a large au
dience. It is hoped that a large
number will be present at Steny Hall
Friday evening, January 15, to hear
some phase of this topic discussed. It
may not be generally known that the
exact question for debate will not
be announced until just two hours be
fore the speakers are to taVe the
platform.

The faculty has seen fit to impose

Two interesting basketball games
were played on the college floor Jan.
8. The first team won in a walk
from the Nampa All-Star team. Nam

The college team this year is a good
one, possessing plenty of team work
and apparently unlimited speed. Sher

distance goals. Siebenberg and Tur

fully made a good pair at returning
the ball the length of the floor, time
after time, usually securing an early
goal. The score of the game was:
College 48; Nampa 9.
The second team didn't have things
quite so easy in their game with
team from the Boise Y. M. C. A. How
ever they put up a plucky fight and
on the whole played a much more in
teresting game as the 17-12 score in
