"'on pictures he will tell th
as
in
causes of failure, and explain some of I
the latest methods of storekeeping.
An interesting feature of the lecture
will be the part devoted to newspaper!
advertising. Writing of newspaper
advertisements, selection of mediums,
and the necessity for a policy of con
tinuous advertising by the retailer will
be taken up in detail. By the same
method the question of proper window
display, delivery problems, perfection
of a store organization, and other in
teresting matters will be discussed.
In addition, the three reel Essanay
feature film, "Troubles of a Merchant,
and How to Stop Them," will be
shown for the first time in this city.
This film, prepared at a cost of $30,000
has been exhibited before commercial
bodies, conventions, and other organi
zations from coast to coast, and has
everywhere been declared to be the
best exposition of the troubles of the
retail merchant ever given.
The"film tells in an interesting man
ner the story of Mr. White, a grocer,
who through lax business methods and
poor system had been brought to the
verge of bankruptcy. As the film pro
gresses, the causes for his failure are
vividly portrayed. His clerks were in
different, his goods, badly arranged,
his system thoroughly disorganized.
When his hopes were at the lowest
ebb, a change came in his career, and
by the installation of modern busi
ness methods, and a rearrangement of
his store, he rose to prosperity.
Recause of the enthusiasm created
in other cities where the film has been
shown, it is expected that a capacity
audience will greet the lecture in this
city. Every scene is said to contain a
lesson. All merchants and salespeo
ple in the city are invited to attend.

NON-PARTISAN LEAGUE
WILL BE REORGANIZED
Scholtz, McKaig and Other Townley
Satellites Will Be Kicked Out
Unceremoniously.
Boise, Feb. 26.—A reorganization of
the Nonpartisan League in Idaho is
imminent. It is expected it will be
staged with a flourish of propaganda
and promises before the legislature
adjourns in order to properly impress
those members who are affiliated with
the league or with the Democratic
party as well as any Republicans who
may have indicated the virus of Rol
hevikism in their veins.
This is not a voluntary realignment,
as understood, so far as the present
leaders of the Nonpartisan League are
concerned, for under the plans as
„greed on at a recent meeting of
prominent league leaders of the more
conservative stamp and of active
Democratic politicians those leaders
are to be kicked out, notably Messrs.
McKaig and Scholtz.
No More Townlevism.
The prime factors in this movement
have concluded that Townlevism and
its association of Socialism and I. W
W.ism will not go in Tdaho. Tt is
planned, therefore, to remove the new
organization from all Townley and
other North Dakota influence and
stigma.
The newspaper at Nampa Is to be
taken over if the new order shall be
put into effect, together with all the
machinery of the Nonpartisan League
that mav be considered usable.
In this new movement certain
Democrats are taking a leading part

SECOND HIGHWAY BOND
MEASURE FEATURE
Changes in Irrigation and Water Con
trol—Number of Bills Put to
Sleep Forever.
Boise, Feb. 26.—A second highway
bond measure, which will net the state
highway funds about $1.500,000 on the
present basis of valuation is the fea
turc of road legislation of the past ten
days. The bill making the levy pos
sible was introduced into the house
during the post week and has already
become almost assured of passage bv
the favorable recommendation of the
committee.
Another road bill went to the gov
ernor when the Morgan measure mak
ing it optional with county commis
sioners to levy twenty-five cents for
evert $100 of valuation for highway
purposes passed the senate. There are
two companion road bills still left to
be acted on. Roth of these provid
for optional levies of fifty cents each
on every $100 of property.
Irrigation Bills.
Three measures into Which the big
irrigation bill, changing the entire sys
tern of water allowance and govern
ment in th c state was merged, have
now been introduced. The two most
important«' of the number provide for
three engineers to be known as direc
tors in the department of reclamation
and for giving of sovereign right in
water matters to these directors. Ac
cording to members of .the irrigation
committees in the two houses the bills
will not get out of committee.
A number house bills have met
dentil in the past few davs when the-^
got to the upper bodv while the same
practice has applied in the house with
senate measures. One of the most
important house bills to feel the sen
ate axe was the one providing an
eight hour dav for women. Several
members declared amendments had
taken awav its affectivencss. A claim
that thc law would take away posi
tions from a laree number of women
working in seed houses and |'y» seed
be sent east in bulk was sufficient to
ine up a unanimous vote in the sen
ate against the bill.
ate against
No Raise in Pay.
Legislators did not look, favorably
on the effort to raise their pay and
give them four instead of two years
term. Both joint resolutions were
killed. Thc resolutions which had for
their purpose lenthciiing the terms of
countv commissioners were also de
feated.
One of the most lengthy measures
of the session is the new educational
bill in the senate. It is said to present
far-reaching changes in the classifica
tion of teachers and to conform to the
laws of i) number of eastern states
where the rank of schools is higher
than in Idaho. The hill was prepared
by Dr. E. A. Bryan, commissioner of
education. According to statements
made on the floor of the h cose Idaho
ranks thirty-seven in the standing of
its schools, while its sister s trite, Utah,
ranks sixth.
Charging that the wheat price fixed
by the law of supply and demand
would be higher this year than the
government guarantee and that this
condition would have been true a year
ago and would be for the next two
years Representative Hall on Satur
day claimed the federal administration
was making political capital out of its
efforts to establish a fund of $1.000,
000,000 to protect the wheat price.
Hall is a grain man and firmer and
said he would take his chance on a
big price for the commodity without
the assistance of the government. He
claimed the tvpe of publicity being
given placed the administration on the
role a protector of the farmer was a

COMMERCIAL CLUB
HELPS METHODISTS
Will Attempt to Clean Up Church In
debtedness—Issues General Ap
peal to the Public.
In view of the fact that the Metho
dist church is used for all public meet
ings the Commercial Club has decided
thaf it is no more than right that the
general public should assist the mem
bers of the church in h'fting the indeb
tedness against thr building. With th e
object of raising some $800000 the
amount of the indebtedness the club
has addressed a letter to the general
public asking the donation of Liberty
Ronds for the purpose stated.
The letter .dated February 23, ex
plains the situation clearly and is as
follows:
Liberty Bonds at Par.
In this city we have no auditorium
sufficiently lairge for all purposes ex
cept the Methodist church, which is
used by citizens of Caldwell and vicin
ity for chautauquas, lecture courses,
conventions, banquets and other pub
lic meetings.
This building was constructed at a
cost of approximately $33,000, $25,000
of which has been paid by a small
number of our citizens who are now
endeavoring to raise $8,000, and. be
lieving the public should bear its share
of this expense the Caldwell Commer
cial Club of this city has endorsed a
Liberty Bond campaign for the pur
pose of raising said amount and
making alterations and improvements
which will make the building more
convenient for the purposes for which
it is used.
We are. therefore, requesting pa
triotic and enterprising citizens who
have Liberty Bonds to contribute at
least one to any member of our com
mittee for the purpose above men
tioned and hope you may do so at this
time.
