Red Cr oss Roll Call Making Its Annual Appeal
FOR CITY DRIVE
Friday and Saturday to
Be Big Days in Cam
paign, Announce Com
mittee to Handle Work.
Friday and Saturday will be red
letter days in western Canyon county
for Red Cross work and the present
Roll Call, according to Mrs. Curtis
Haydon, who is directing the cam
paign this year in this end of the
county. Mrs. C. W. Emery has charge
of the local campaign for Friday and
Mrs. Ed. L. Bryan will direct the work
Saturday.
Speaking of the Red Cross Roll Call,
which was officially inaugurated Arm
istice Day and continues until Nov. 20,
Mrs. Haydon said Saturday:
"The Fourth Red Cross Roll Call iis
under way. Caldwell Chapter covers
all the western portion of Canyon
county and Homedale in Owyhee.
"It is fair to the local membership
that they be informed of seme of the
essential features and workings of the
Red Cross. Since the close of the
war its relief has betn given to the
helpless and unfortunate everywhere
Starving children in Europe, the aged,
crippled and unfortunate in America,
helpless returned soldiers, maternity
and infant welfare at hçme and abroad
all alike receive the support of this
greatest mothef in the world. There
is, therefore, urgent need of continued
support and a strong membership of
Red Cross.
Fund« for Local Use.
"All funds received, including mem
bership dues, comes into the hands of
the local chapter, a portion of which
is retained for its local needs, under
the laws and constitution of the asso
ciation.
"At the recent annual meeting of
aaldwoll Chapter new officeers were
Caldwell Chapter new officers were
the chapter thai representatives on its
board be secured from all portions of
the territory in its jurisdiction, in
cluding Miiddleton, Parma, Wilder,
Homedale and Huston. This is espe
cially important for the reason that
these communities are not only en
titled to share equally with Caldwell
in any and all protection Red Cross
can give, but it is the spirit and virtue
of Red Cross. Its aid is not based
upon any claim of right, but goes
where there is greatest need. To this
end it is highly important and desirous
that every community in our jurisdic
tion have a chapter representative to
whom calls maybe made in such man
ner as to cause the least suffering or
embarrasment and achieve the best re
sults,
"Caldwell Chapter is pleased to in
form its members that it is exempted
by the national order from any extra
assessments or donations to complété
\^its war time obligations."

High School Takes
■ Ontario Into Camp
Football Team Wins
Hard Game Saturday
by 14 to 0 Score.
Another football championship of
southwestern Idaho for the Caldwell
high school team was virtually as
sured Saturday as a result of the
overwhelming defeat of the Namp
high school football team by Boise at
Boise. Boise had already tasted de
feat from the Caldwell team the week
preceding and while Nampa and Cald
weH are to play here Thanksgiving
day, it is almost certain that Nampa
will lose this contest. There is talk
among local football fans of making
an effort to have Nampa cancel the
game that Twin Falls might be
brought here for the Turkey Day
game in order to determine the high
school football championship of south
ern Idaho.
Saturday, the Caldwell team, under
the guidance of Jim Jackson and Earl
Wittiborg of the College of Idaho
eleven, won from Ontario on the lat
ter's home lot by a 14-0 score. It was
one of the hardest gamees of the sea
son, acording to Caldwell fans who
witnessed the contest. Ontario, by
virtue of the addition of several old
men to the lineup, proved unexpected
ly strong and gave the Caldwell team
one of the few real battles of the sea
son.
Teach, by getting away with a long
run from a forward pass, and Doug
las Lowell, the junior member of the
athletically gifted Lowell family, were
the bright lights for Caldwell, al
though the line is reported to have
creditably disposed of Ontario's at
tack. Piatt, who was injured, was
taken from the game early in the first
quarter and Springer, who substituted
for him, played a remarkable game,
consistently making good gains.
Neither team scored in the first half
but in the third quarter, Teach inter
cepted an Onttario forward pass and
ran two-thirds of the length of the
field for the first score of the game.
Shortly after, Lowell was on the re
ceiving end of another pass and got
away for the local's second touch
down.
IT GUILTY
JENSEN VERDICT
Jury Brings in Acquittal
After Long De
liberation.
"Not guilty" was the verdict brought
in last Wednsday eevning by the jury
sitting on the Julius Jensen case, who
was being tried on the charge of mur
der for killing Dewey Harris near
Wilder last June. Two hours and a
half of deliberation were required to
reach a verdict.
Temporary insanity resulting from
jealousy over Harris' alleged infatua
tion for Jensen's wife was the basis
for tthe defense and upon which
grounds he was acquitted. Three full
days were taken up in the local dis
trict court on this case two days be
ing required to impanel a jury.
Both men were employed on a farm
in the vicinity of Wilder at the time
of the shooting. Harris, because of
ill feeling that is said to have resulted
from Haris' alleged attentions to Mrs.
Jensen, had previously gone to east
ern Oregon, but had returned when in
vited by his employer, with- the con
sent of Jensen.
Notes passing between Harris and
Mrs. Jensen, which are said to have
been »entirely without design, and
which arranged for their meeting at
the Canton cafe in Boise, fell into Jen
sen's hands. He killed Harris, follow
ing the discovery of these notes.
Among the interested obserpers of
the College of Idaho-Idaho Tech foot
ball game played here Friday after
noon were Cough Perkins and Arthur
Neilson, both of Pocateilo. They are
both University of Idaho alumni and
graduates of the Maho Technical in
stitute. After seeing the Idaho-Utah
game in Boise on Armistice Day, they
remained over to se the Tech play
here against their time honored ad
versaries.
LYCEUM COURSE BOY SCOUTS TO
HOLD BIC RALLY
Indian Music to Feature
Season's First En
tertainment.
Indian music will feature the first
number on the Caldwell lyceum course
which will be presented at the Metho
dist church Thursday evening at 8
o'clock when Little Symphony or
chestra will present a program pre
pared by Thurlow Iieurance who has
made a life study of Indian music.
With the orchestra are four violinists,
two cellos, a pianist and a soprano.
Of the program and its interpreta
tion of Indian music, the following is
written by critics:
"No one ever dreamed there was
any real music in the American In
dian until Thurlow Lieurance began
to study the tribal melodies of the
Red Man.
"During the past few years Mr.
Lieurance has convinced the musical
public of this—and other countries—
that in the old Indian chants, war
songs and dances of the first Ameri
cans, there is not only an alluring
charm, but a real musical background
as well. Upon this setting Mr. Lieur
ance has contributed some gems of
modern music, among them being his
famobs "Waters of Minnetonka" and
the "Indian Love Song," favorite of
Julia Culp, Alice Neilson and others.
"Mr. Lieurance has a vision of the
future of the music of the American
Indian. He has probably the largest
collection of American music in ex
istence. "I am convinced," said Mr.
Lieurance recently "that the Ameri
can Indian has a theme for every ac
tivity and characteristic of his life.
His best songs are his spiritual songs
and his flute or flagelot, is his only
real musical instrument."
In the Little Symphony, organized
by Mr. Lieurance, will be heard sev
eral of Mr. Lieurance's own numbers,
interpreted under his own direction,
even though the noted musician is
not with his company. While Mr.
Lieurance is unable to travel personal
ly with his organization, he has a
noted understudy in Mr. Harold
Lewis, conductor and pianist with this
organization."
Reserved seat tickets are on sale
today at Harmon's Drug store. The
next lycemum number will not be
presented until February 14 when the
Gardiner Jubilee company will be
here.
Important Changes

Local Troops Hold
Jubilee This Eve
ning.
The first grand rally of all Boy
Scouts in Caldwell will take place next
Tuesday, November 16, at 7 o'clock,
it the First Methodist church. An
interesting program has been ar
ranged and refreshments will be
served later in the evening. A special
feature of the program will be several
vocal solos by the Boy Scout so
prano, Lester Armstrong, of troop 6,
Boise, and the musical numbers by the
scout pianist, Laverne R. Philpott of
troop 7, Boise. This general get-to
gether meeting is being called to en
able the scouts in the various troops
to become better acquainted with each
other, and it is also a means of caus
ing the leaders of scouts to know who
their colleagues are.
Fine Leadership.
The scout organization at Caldwell
was first thought of by the Rev.
Francis L. Cook, formerly of the
Christian church, and scoutmaster
of troop 5, and it wa^ through his ef
forts that the affiliation with Boise
council was brought about. The sev
eral troops are in the hands of ef
ficient leaders, who are acting as
scoutmasters and assistants, and un
der their guidance the troops should
make excellent headway. Troop 1
meets at the Baptist church, with
George O. Woody, as scoutmaster,
and Ursus E. Brock, assistant. Troop
2 meets at the Methodist church with
W. S. Gordon as scoutmaster and
Earl S. Campbell as assistant. Troop
5, which is the largest troop in Idaho,
meets at the Christian church with
R. K. Lovejoy as scoutmaster and R.
S. Clore, H. R. Fuller and H. W.
Mulch, assistants. Each troop is
backed by a committee, which is re
sponsible for the proper conduct of
the troop, in supplying leadership,
places to meet, and so forth. The
Rev. A. F. White, B. F. Leavell and
Charles Martin, form the troop com
mittee of 1; J. Jester, Jr., C. D. Rush,
W. T. Kimbrough, troop 2; George
W. Myers, G. M. Schmallhordt, R. S.
Clore, troop 5.
In addition to the above leaders, a
deputy commission has recently been
appointed, in the "person of J. Jester,
Jr., who will advise in all matters per
taining to the Caldwell organisation.
Scout Executive Tebbetts will be
on hand Tuesday, November 16, and
it is expected that all leaders of the
various troops will be on hand to
assist him in this first rally of the
Boy Scouts of Caldwell.
D. A. R.'S MEET.
The Idaho Pocahontas chapter,
Daughters of the American Revolu
tion, met on Saturday with Mrs. Jay
Galligan at her home on Dearborn
street, with Mrs. Ed Miller and Mrs.
King Brown assistant hostesses. A
splendid paper was read by Mrs. H.
W. Stone on "The Mayflower Pil
grims." Necessary business was
transacted and plans made for Christ
mas charities, thrift work and Ameri
canization work. A Thanksgiving
food sale and silver tea was planned
for Saturday, November 20. There
were 25 present and a delightful lunch
eon was served during the social hour.
Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Erwin, Jr., and
their son of Sacramento, Cal., are in
Caldwell this week visiting with their
parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Erwin.

College Once More
Cops Championship
Idaho Tech Downed by
Overwhelming Score
Friday.
"Sitting pretty" is the College of
Idaho football team after roundly and
soundly walloping the Idaho Tech
nical Institute eleven here last Friday
afternoon to the tune of 50-0. That
victory insures the College of Idaho
another championship of the South
ern Idaho conference. One game re
mains to be played, that with Good
ing. This is the fourth consecu
tive season that the College of Idaho
has topped the percentage column.
In all that time only one game has
been lost, that to Whitman college
recently by a 21-14 score.
Friday's game was better than the
score indicated, being hard fought
throughout. Pocateilo never stopped
giving the best that her athletes pos
sessed and electrified the crowd in the
final quarter with two long success
ful forward passes. Caldwell"s first
score came late in the first quarter
when Jackson booted one between
the goal posts for three points after
a previous ineffectual attempt. Two
touchdowns were added in that half
and the second period ended with the
locals on the long end of a 15-0 score.
In the second half the college team
opened up and by a succession of for
ward passes, coupled with long end
runs, were continually threatening
the Pocateilo goal. In the third quar
ter Braskar.ip snaked down one of
Pocatello's passes and raced 50 yards
for a touchdown for one of the spec
tacular plays of the game.
Wade and Blake Lowell, Braskamp
and Jim Jackson played stellar roles
for the local team.

contest was given a bill of po--*e:sion

fered «s first prize. Other prizes
were awarded Monday with tin excep

who is '. q go as The Tribuns's guest
to the Carnival of Roses at Pasadena
during the Christmas holidays. Those
who did not win prizes and *ho com
plied with the rules governing the
contest throughout will be paid cash
commissions of 25 per cent on their
new subscriptions. Mrs. Earl Wright
easily led those who did not '.vin any
of the special prizes offered.
Mr. Thompson was unexpectedly
called cast at the conclusion of the
contest and left without leaving a
complete report of the commissions
due those who won them. These
commissions, however, will be paid
just as soon as the candidates reports
can be totaled and the amount earned
by each one determined.
Indicative to the widespread and
intense interest in this contest were
the innumerable calls which came to
the Commercial club rooms Saturday
evening after the closing hour to
learn who had won the prizes. These
calls began pouring in long before
the votes could possibly be counted
and continued until midnight.
One of the surprises of the cam
paign was the strength shown by
Miss Millikin, who completely upset
the dope by winning second prize
by virtue of a heavy turning on the
last night.

HUGE CROPS OF
In Spite of Inclement
Fall Weather, Ship
ments Show Healthy
Increase Over 1919.
Rain and snow during late Oc
tober considerably hamper harvest of
Idaho farm crops, but in spite of •
loss in many districts of the state,
,the total production was considerably
higher than for last year, according
to the statement of Julius Jacobson
of the United States crop reporting
service. The report for October,
just released, says:
Weather Conditions.
Precipitation during October was
considerably above normal all over
the state. Toward the close of the
month, rain and snow seriously in
terfered with harvesting of sugar
beets, potatoes, hay and apples, and
the threshing of small grains, clo/er
seed, peas and beans. It is impos
sible at this date to determine the
less in qualify or possible reduction
in total production due to frost dam
age to potatoes and beets. Further
investigation will be made for the
final estimates in December.
Potatoes.
The justly famous Idaho potato
is again maintaining its reputation
of yield and quality. The average
yield on 35,000 acres was 180 buthels
per acre, or a total of 6,300,000 bushels.
Our total production in 1919 was 5,
400,000 bushels. Last year the acre
yield was only 150 bushels while the
10-year average is 159 bushels per
acre. This month's estimate takes
into consideration the possibility of
loss from frost damage. With an
average of 225 bushels, Maine was
the only state exceeding Idaho in
point of yield per acre in 1919 but
Maine uses considerable commercial
fertilizer while Idaho uses none.
One field of. 10 acres in Canyon
county yielded 639.5 bushels per acre
of marketable potatoes. These were
sold for seed and averaged close to
$1000 per acre.
Quality of the crop is 94 per cent
(100 representing a high medium
grade) thus equaling the 10-year aver
age in this respect.
In view of the unfavorable harvest
ing weather and frost damage in the
field, the carlot movement is now
placed at 7200 cars of 700 bushels
each, which compared with 6786 cars
shipped last year. Comparing this
year's carlot shipments from the im
portant commercial counties with
those of last year, the following in
creases are noted: Canyon 27 per
cent; Jerome 25 per cent; Twin Falls
13 per cent; Bingham 7 per cent;
Bonneville 14 per cent; Cassia reports
a decrease of 4 per cent and Minidoka
estimates a 12 per cent decrease. Cor
respondents estimate that 66 per cent
of this year's crop will grade No. 1;
20 per cent No. 2; and 14 per cent
culls. The 1919 crop graded 64 per
cent No. 1; 24 per cent No. 2; 12 per
cent culls. The large per cent of
culls is probably accounted for by
much inferior seed being planted last
spring because of the scarcity and
high price of seed potatoes.
The November 1 estimates for the
United States is 421,252,000 bushels,
compared with 357,901.000 bushels
last year and the 1914-1918 average
of 382,113,000 bushels. Harvesting in
northern states is almost completed
and yields and quality were generally
satisfactory. The important state of
Colorado, Michigan, Minnesota and
Wisconsin report fair movement to
market with growers storing as much
as possible for higher prices.
Mr. and Mrs. E. A. Wheeler re
turned last week from California
where they have spent the past two
months. Mr. Wheeler attended the
national convention of laundrymen
held at San Francisco and has only
praise for the spirit of hospitality
shown by the Californians.
as much interested in the outcome as
were the candidates themselves and
generally, friends of those in the con
test, aided loyally their favorite con
testants in her effort to win the prize.
