| 1 - VOLUME 30. NO. 49 COTTONWOOD, IDAHO, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 1, 1922 TO ORGANIZE COTTONWOOD Ht. S. DEFEATS GRANGEVILLE ASSOCIATION MEETING WILL BE HELD IN Two Extra Five Minute Halves! COTTONWOOD, DEC. 7 FOR THAT PURPOSE. A meeting of the cow owners of Cottonwood and the near by community will be held in Cot- tonwood, Thursday, December 7th at 1:30 p. m. for the purpose of discussing the formation of a| block of the county bull associa- tion. One block of thirty cows has been formed at Ferdinand and interest in the movement is crystalizing in several more com- munities and it is expected that at least five more blocks will be} formed in the next ten days. There are sufficient cows in and around Cottonwood to form two blocks and y owner of a cow shuld not fail to be at this meet-| ing. This is an opportunity to build up the dairy industry of our county without it costing us any more than our breeding is now costing us. The best cows | in the county are found in the| towns and we can just as well be} raising calves worth something | as butterf»t producers as the| scrubs we are producing. The| twenty five or thirty cows in every town on the prairie should | be bringing half that number of heifer calves each year whieh if| sired by a registered bull of good breeding would he eagerly sought by the near by farmers! as future milk stock. We can | raise our own dairy cows cheap-| er than we can buy them. The} owners of cows in town who are} seeking se:vice for them each year should get behind ~ this movement; for this is one way they can in building up} the dairy industry and the pros-| perity of the county without it} costing the s much as they are now paying. 1 dolla. rear | per cow pays for the service and | you are breeding to a high class | dairy animal besides. Take time | enoughh to attend the meeting and then judge for yourself | whether or not it is worth while. ATTRACTIVE PARTY. Mrs. George F.

Early in the fall farmers in that section noticed that their apple trees were being broken down and the fruit missing. After the first snowfall it was an easy matter to tell who was getting the fruit. On two occasions Mr. Bear entered orchards and ate three sacks of apples at one place and two at another. The bear was not put out of business until Mike Johnson’s hounds were placed on his trai] and then it required two days.

Dr. T. P. Brown, a chiroprac- tor, was shot in the hand at Winchester Saturday night by C. V. Marquis in whose building the doctor had his office.
