Booster Club is Busy !
There was a large and representa
tive Attendance of both business men
and farmers at the regular meeting of
the Meridian Booster club Wednes
day night of this week and several
propositions of especial importance
to the community were considered.
The meeting was marked by a spirit
of interest and co-operation t liât
promises well for the success of the
various undertakings which the club
has In hand. L. A. Copeland, presi
dent of the cluti, presided at the ses
sion.
of
Ono of the most important ques
tions discussed was that of establish
ing a monthly sales day or trad
ers day in Meridian similar to the
plan that has worked to such great
success at Nampa and Caldwell. The
sale would furnish a medium of ex
change for the people of Meridian
and vicinity who have livestock,
farm implements, furniture and oth
er articles for sale but in quantities
too small to warrant their holding
sales themselves. Parties who find
themselves in this position, it was
pointed out, are now forced to pat
ronize the Caldwell or Nampa month
ly sales, and with this patronage
goes considerable business that right
fully belongs to Meridian. J. J.
Caldwell and S. H. Griffith were
named as a committee to promote
the sales day plan and they will re
port at the next meeting to the club.
R. M. Bell of the park committee
reported that he conferred with Joel
Priest, the Oregon Short Line's spec
ial agent at Boise, regarding the
question of securing for park pur
poses the block owned by the rail
road here and located between Broad
way street and the depot, and that
while there have been no definite de
velopments as yet the prospects are
excellent for the scheme being a
success. It has the support of the
village trustees as well as the
Booster club and has been taken up
by Mr. Priest with the O. S. L. of
ficials at Salt Lake. E. 6. Pfaffle
and George Atwater, the other mem
bers of the park committee, were not
present at the Wednesday night
meeting.
S. H. Grundahl, president of the
Farmers Country club, was present
and gave a short talk on the benefits
derived from that organization both
ia social and commercial ways. Tlte
members of the club are ranchers re
siding south of Meridian. A hearty
invitation was extended the Farmers
club to join interests with the Boost
ers and it is probable that the two
organizations will be merged in Jjie
near future.
Mr. Grundahl also announced that
at the meeting of the Farmers club
(Friday) Prof. H. A. Ireland, govern
ment advisor for
ject of cow testing,
the Ada county farm expert, will also
be present.
; Arrangement* are under way for
a home talent show to be staged with
in the next few weeks for the bene
fit and financial aid, of the Booster
„ club. The play will be under the di
rection of T. A. Bisby.
zThe quarters in the South church
now occupied by the Booster club will
in the future lie shared with the Par
ent-Teachers circle, according to ac
tion taken Wednesday night, and will
be furnished and fitted up for the
convenience of both organizations.
- This work will lie in charge of a
Booster club committee consisting
qf Dr. Reynolds, Dr. Neal and A. V.
Mailman and a Parent-Teachers com
mittee 'including Prof. Gould, Mrs.
Wilcox and Dr. Neal,
iv Rev. Joel Brown was appointed to
prepare a program for the next meet
ing of the club on Wednesday,
December 1, and it is proposed to
make this meeting the best the
Boosters have ever had. The pro
, gram is to include music, several ad
dresses and close with a banquet
and informal social session.

Not a pleasant prospect, is it?

We are still selling
