The topic of Judge Burton's address was "The Ideals of Kiwanis" and In part the Judge said: 1st Kiwanis is a conscious driving force towards newer and higher objectives; 2nd Kiwanis is an organization of progressive, right thinking, broadminded business and professional men; 3rd Kiwanis, as I understand It, is the practical application of the principles of the Golden Rule to our modern every day life. The term "Kiwanis" is an Indian word, meaning "We Build." The first Kiwanis club was organized at Detroit, Michigan on Mr. convention of Ford dealers.

LeRoy Cox ID Judge Hears t Livestock production throughout -- a more stable and profitable basis as the result of readjustments which have taken place since the World r, J. S. Pyeatt, president of the Denver & Rio Grande Western Railroad, told the American National Livestock Association at their annual meeting held recently. The market for young beef steers is growing with the demand for "baby beef" Pyeatt declared. The producers have met these requirements with accelerated feeding. "The effects of this trend toward rapid finishing of beef cattle are far reaching," he continued. "First, a better turnover is afforded. The producer can mature two steers in the time it took to bring one to maturity before. Then the financial strain is relieved. Shorter terms are provided for cattle loans. "Cattle finishing is a contributing factor to stabilization for it pro vides a reservoir for holding back for destined stock ultimately slaughter, thus distributing more evenly the run to market. "The railroads have been among the first to notice these changes for they have greatly affected the livestock traffic of the various roads in the cattle producing regions," Pyeatt explained. "An interesting shift is taking place in the location of the various feeding districts. The number of feeder cattle shipped into the southwest since 1920 has declined, while the number of feeder stock sent to be finished in the com and beet sugar states has Increased during this decade.

McKelvle, a member or the Federal Farm Board was the principal speaker. The conference was called at the suggestion of the Federal Farm Board to discuss the advisability of forming regional association embracing the lntermountaln territory. A large number of delegates representing grain growers of southeastern Idaho were present, as well as representatives from the principal grain growing counties of Utah. A majority, of Idaho delegates present favored Joining the million dollar North Pacific Grain Growers Cooperative Association which is already organized and embraces the territory of Washington, Oregon, western Montana and northern Idaho. On the other hand, Utah grain growers, led by County Agent A. E. Smith of Nephl, made a lively fight for the organization of an lntermountaln regional association embracing the territory tributary to the Ogden and California market. A dead-loc- k appeared to be eminent, but when W.

" By tonanftnimr vote of the conference it was decided to organize an intermountain association and an organization committee composed of eleven members was appointed to work out details or the organization. James E. Memmott of Nephi was appointed a member of this organization committee of which Senator J. W. Webster of Rexburg, Idaho, is chairman. This committee has called a merging in Pocatello at which the details for organization will be worked out.

(Continued on Page Eight) A WOMAN'S PLACE IN THE HOME By Mrs. Wm. Bailey There are so many places for a woman to fill In the home. From papers previously given in the Ladies Literary Club it has been shown that there is no ideal home without a woman, cooperating with a man, as the moving spirit; woman is largely responsible for the management of a home; and she has also been disignated as the one who brings the beautiful and artistic Into the home. So her duties are manifold. In these times we hear a great deal of talk about evolution. Both the home itself and woman's place In the world or In society have gone through an evolutionary process. The early Teutonic home was r village or a collection of dwellings. The meaning of the word "home" has been narrowed, however, until it denotes the abode neither of a social group nor of a tribe, but that of an individual man and woman, their offsprings and dependents. A change has taken place also in woman's place in society. The world has opened avenues for her so that she has been trained to earn her living outside the home; she has many opportunities for gainful employment; and she is therefore and may be economically independent. All her Instincts and the forces of her being, however, tend to lead her into that place by which she was by nature claimed, the home. Through opportunity of education, if a woman chooses to maintain a home, she is well fitted for the task of sharing with her husband this responsibility. There are some who still refer slightingly tQ self-relia- nt "Woman's Sphere" meaning that work required in keeping up a home and the bearing and rearing of children. Because women do not take part in the building of battleships and many other great industries, some people have assured that their work in the home is not of first importance. Upon due consideration, may it not appear that the development of high quality and womanhood is, after all, one of the most important activities in which a nation may engage. What part does the making of character and hapiness play in the life of a nation? Perhaps indeed the whole future of the republic lies within the realm of "Woman's Sphere" but speak with reverence of this sphero. The home itself and woman's work in the home has undergone a change In the last fifty years, caused by the change from the domestic to the factory system of making goods. Under the domestic system, the home was the producing unit, and the duties of the home were divided between the occupants. The mother was a combination of cook.weaver, seamstress, and general cleaner, dairy-mai- d, housewife. The girls helped the mother in her work, learning the beginnings of household tasks almost as soon as they could walk or talk. The home under the system was a complete economic unit; strong; the pride of western civiliz tion. Within fifty years, however, inventions have been made which for steam constitute human strength, use machinery for hand (Contiuued on Page Four) i- |
