WARREN POTTER DEAD. Word was received in Cotton- wood, Sunday, by the officials of the I. O. O. F. lodge of this city, from a similar organization at Spirit Lake, Idaho advising them of the death of Warren Potter, a former resident of this city and a member of the local order. Mr. Potter will be remembered by many of the old timers, hav- ing come to Cottonwood in 1884 and for years conducted a black- smith shop here, the remainder of the time being engaged in farming. He removed from here to Lewiston about eight years ago and from Lewiston he moved with his family to Spirit Lake where he died Saturday. He had teen suffering with heart trouble for some time but his death was unexpected. Mr. Potter was born in Iowa, March 1, 1855, and leaves besides his wife one sister, Mrs. E. Jenkins , of Asotin, W: 10 YEARS ON ONE JOB. Paul Gassner, who has been employed by the Sisters of St. Gertrude convent for the past ten years, the last three years having charge of their large truck, resigned his position and expects to leave the first of the coming week for Arizona to lo- cate. The change is being made for the benefit of his health. Paul is an industrious young man who always works for the interest of his employer and his‘ kind are hard to pick up every day. His many friends here hove that the Arizona climate will prove beneficial to him.

COTTONWOOD, IDAHO, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1922 LOOKING FOR LOCATION. | ( Mr. and Mrs. William Baune' eft Monday morning via the Winona stage for Kamiah to) 4 look over that section with the ‘ possibility of locating there in) the future. The Batnes will also visit the Orofino, Kendrick and Juliaetta sections before selecting a permanent location. Mr. and Mrs. Baune have been residents of the prairie for many years and they are the kind of farmers that are an asset to any community and their many friends here wish them success and health in their new location, wherever they may decide to locate. The change was made in the hopes that the lower altitude will prove beneficial to Mr. Baune's health. The Baune sale, held last week was the most successful so far conducted on Camas Prairie this fall, everything offered for sale bringing good prices. In fact the day before the sale his per- sonal property could have been bought for $1000 less than he re- ceived for it from the auction block. DAIRY MEN ARE ACTIVE RESIGNS POSITION.

To have three men, all candi- dates for thé highest office with- in the gift of the people of Idaho to discuss the political issues of the day was the opportunity of the voters in this immediate vicinity this week. Qn Saturday afternoon, F. H. Samuels, candidate for governor on the progressive ticket address od some 125 farmers and busi- 1ess men in the I. O. O. F. hall. He dealt principally with the vast amount of money expended by both republican and demo- cratic parties and of the many special privileges granted corpor- ations by these two parties. He deciared that the financial con- dition of the merchants and the farmers was critical, and that the only remedy was to demand a moratorium on all foreclosures for one year, giving the farmers and the merchants one more chance to save thei: homes. He received the greatest ap- plause when he declared himself in favor of a guarantee deposit- or’s law. Alexander Speaks Monday. Following closely on the heels of Samuels, Gov. M. Alexander, democratic candidate for gover- nor, addressed by far the largest of the three speakers, Monday evening, at the Orpheum Theatre, some 200 be- ing present. He discussed at some length the conditions of unrest existent | in all stations, and the demand upon executives for changes in national, state and county ad- ministrations. The next democratic governor of Idaho is going to kick out of the capitol at Boise the state constabulary, was a well cheered | declaration of the speaker. “The furnishings of the state capitol are of oriental splendor,” assert- ed Mr. Alexander, and he de- scribed at length the splendid rugs, furniture and statuary bought by the people of Idaho. “Idaho is the only state that has declared the bullfrog a game bird,” announced the speaker, saying that a license must be secured to catch him. Mr. Alexander heartily ap- proves of necessary expenditure far the education of the youth of Idaho. but promises that if elected, his effort will be toward elimination of leaks and wastes. Alexander also declared him- self in favor of a guarantee bank depositor’s law and said “Some may tell you that means poor banking. failure the state does not worry, the federal government does not worry, it is the common people that are the loosers. State, feder- al and county deposits are guar- loose a cent,” He also naid a high tribute to the local banks. Moore Last Speaker.

As some have remarked, “We have heard all three speakers ; and are still on the fence.” Borah, looming large as a 1924 presidential possibility, goes to Nashville to deliver an address in November, he intends to run down to Memphis to hunt up a kindly banker who befriended him when he was broke, sick and hungry and turned the whole tide of his life.

There are others who have signified their intention of returning to school but as yet they have failed to do so. These are Kenneth Miller, Frank Jenny, and Cecil Wimer. Kenneth Miller has played on the team for two years and was “one of the best” both years. Practice will not start for another tivo or three weeks as there is always the danger of staleness if a team starts too early in the year. The Center College team of lest year is a good example of this. After trimming Harvard, Georgia Tech and having a brilliant season they lost to the Texas A. & M.a tenth rate team with only a mediocre record. This “staleness’ paralysis is the inevitable hoodo which ruins scores of early and brilliant athletic records yearly. To avoid the danger of such a finish here we have thot best to temporarily hold off the begin- ning of practice. Clayton B. Westover, High School Principal. WAS AFTER INFORMATION.
