PROGRESS SHOWN | BY IDAHO SOCIETY, Group, Oruanized in 1924, Has 200 Zealous and Busy Members. RET B. DOWNING. Judged by its age and experience, the State Society of Idaho is a mere | infant, yet none of the similar organ- izatlons existing for a score or more vears ca play « more ambitious or co otive program of develop: ment. { This assembling of the citizens of | ideho now dwelling on the banks of | the Potomac dates only from October, | when at the Invitation of Repre- gentative Addison Tavlor Simith about %5 of his fellow citizens met in his n.‘l( e nd proceeded to organize the present cociety | Walter Smith was chosen the first president, as his father, the Rep rensentative, c t take the new strenuous work of getting the new organization firmly on its feet. Mr. Smith served a year with most credit- able success, collecting dozens of men, women and children with Idaho affli- ations and signing them over as mem- bers of the State soclety. But last Autumn he was lured Dy the siren voice of Florida and at the last annual | meeting, Dr. W. > nnessen was elected presider uries P. Jennings vice preside 2. . Cannon | retary, and tr of | .

But besides this worthy purpose, the soclety has a definite and con- | tructive object, and every o be emploved in Washington and in ldaho has been devoted to’it: cess. Idaho desires that its marvelous ! products, especially in the vegetable | line, shail be placed before the Am an publie in its Capital City. There the white potato, for tance. early every one has heard of its liclous flavor, size and compactness, and that an ordinary specimen of spud” in the Gem State will be ade-. quate for a family of five. This state- ment is taken as a mere figure of speech when repeated by an enthusi- astic Idahoan to the resident of a State where it requires five potatoes for each person. Own Hall Sought. The local soclety is bending every effort to have a permanent display for potatoes, pumpkins, turnips and many other edibles. The definite plan is to lease a hall which will serve as a cen- tral point for all that concerns the State, and principally to provide a home for the dance and card parties and the several business and special meetings held during the year. This hall also will furnish a meeting place for visitors from the home State, where they may register and find at their disposal the name and address of every resident of Idaho Uving in Washington and also the address in Idaho. This will in itself be a boon and a unique service not yet fur nished by any organization in Wash- ington. But the Idahoans here in Washing- ton have not thought to saddle the burden of maintaining such an elabo- rate scheme on thelr society. On the contrary, they have placed the mat- ter before the boards of trade, the chambers of commerce, the Rotarians, the Kiwanis and several other clubs throughout Idaho. The response is said to be entirely satisfactory, but as the work on this began less than six months ago, it will be a little time hefore results can be observed. Feasts Also Planned. The ;.mvmg of the vegetable prod- cts will be done by experts, one ¥ to convince the skeptical is not alone to show them mammoth units but also o prepare feasts every so often &nd let them sample what Tdaho can do in this line. At the annual banquet baked potatoes sent from the State always form part of the menu, and the guests are apt to dwell on their excellence rather than on the ‘more ambitious dishes. This year's program of the Idaho Soclety has been completed, except for a dance and card party to be given late in May. Some notable functions have been recorded this season, and every meeting has shown a larger at- tendance and more enthusiasm. The annual banquet, held on March 3 at the Mayflower, marked the high tide of its annals and brought out the sons and daughters of the State and its admirers, not ouly from Washington but from. points far away as W consin, whence came this year's guesl of honor, Willim Donor, superin- tendent of the Menominee Indian Res- orvation in that State. ¥or many years Mr. Donor had charge of the schools at the Fort Hall Indian Reservation, and this marks | the first milestone in Idaho history. For Ezra Meeker, the original pioneer of the State, stopped for rest and re. freshment at Fort Hall in 1853, when | it was then the very end of the Ore- | gon trail. Mr. MeeKer is far past the | vears usuaily allotted to man, but he | made the long journey to Washington | 10 appear at this banquet, to renew ais friendship with the former super- ntendent of Fort Hall and to recall many stirring incidents which attend- ad the birth of Idaho as a Territory and to trace its development during these 63 years.

The Woman's Army and Navy League will conduct a rummage sale at 1224 F street April 22, 23 and 24 for the benefit of the Soldiers, Saflors and Marines' Club.
