IDAHO WINS GOLD MEDALS.
Secured 81 Awards Out of SO Entries
at Portland.

PORTLAND, Ore, October r.
The awards on agricultural exhib-
its, including grains, grasses, woods
and purely agricultural products,
at the Lewis and Clark Exposition,
have just been announced, and Id
aho stands easily first, when the
proportion of the awards to the en-
tries made is considered.
Out of 68 entries, this state seeur-
ed 81 awards; So gold medals, s
silver medals, and one honorable
mention. Oregon has a higher to-
tai .of awards, with Colorado a
close second; but the remarkable
record made by Idaho, when the
number of her entries is taken into
consideration, is unparalleled.
Much of the credit for such Il
record is due, of course, tc the
manner in which the display was
made. For this credit must be
given Al J. Vessels, agricultural
commissioner from Idaho, and Mrs
| Vessels, who designed and super
intended the construction OF Ida
hos beautiful agricultural section
/ The excellence of the products
themselves, however, perhaps haC
most to do with the findings of thu
: jury, and the awards made poin
conclusively to the excellence o
, Idaho as an agricultural state.
Gold medals were awarded t.
the state of Idaho on it's genera
collection, and to the Idaho Agri
} cultural Experiment Station on it
collection OF grains and grasses il
, the sheaf. For these two the stat
. officials claim particular attention
Canyon county also received a gol
l medal on oats, wheat and rye i
the sheaf; Camas Prairie on co
y lection of grains and grasses nc
c otherwise entered; the City of Roi
7 well on a collection of grains an
a grasses not otherwise mentioned
{ Nez Perez County on grasses, an
u I.atah County on grains and gra
ses not otherwise entered.

The work of surveying it has pro
crossed rapidly and it will probab-

The survey will have to be inspect

Then again, arrangements have to

they will accept holdings in sever

LUxURlES FOR THE FISHES
Young Whitedsh Are Supplied with
the Larvae of Mosquitoes as
Article of Diet.

A new food has been found for 400
young whitefsh now at the New York
aquarium. They were born in the
aquarium's hatchery in March and are
now of an average length Of about two
inches. Such little fishes, in nature.
when they came to eat would feed on
minute forms of animal life which they
would find in the water.
In the aquarium, says the Sun, they
got, first, herring roe, chopped up very
fine and strained through cheesecloth.
Later, flnely-chopped liver was given to
them, but now they are being fed with
live food in the shape of mosquito
larvae. 'r
The aquarium has for two or three
years maintained mosquito exhibit,
showing how mosquitoes breed. The
mosquito In one period of its develop
ment is an aquatic creature, the familiar
wriggler of the rain water hogshead and
of stagnant pools and ponds. i. ~
The material for the mosquito exhibit
is brought in incidentally by the
aquarium collector. and there are places
which he visits where it would be easy
to scoop up $4,000 wrigglers in gallon
Of water. So it was easy to provide wrig-
glers for the little whitefsh, if they
should like them. which they did.

War on Billboards.

Nothing has, however, yet been accom-

general improvement, and hence it IL
pertinent to inquire if the billboard is
to go? One Of the most obvious steps:n

unnecessary, unsightly objects. The
billboard has been unsightly so long
that many people regard It as perma-

New York Poultry Dealer Explains
the Ramifications Of His
Business.

Standing two or three deep outside the
window of a dealer in poultry supplies
in a busy downtown street was bunch
of people watching with great interest
a hock of restless ducklings, says the
New York Sun.
what will finally become of the lit
tie ducks?" repeated the poultry dealer.
They will all be sold to go out of the
city, to the suburbs or the country. We
sold six out of this brood this morning
to man who lives on Long Island. We
shall sell the rest to people who see the
ducks in the window and take fancy to
them. We sell in this way, right here,
in the course of a year, thousands OF
ducks and little chicks.
1--WE can put up a pair or a dozen Of
little chicks, or of ducks, in a package
that you can carry as handily as any
package of merchandise. We have boxes
of various sorts and sizes expressly
made for that purpose. Here, for in
stance, is a paper box with perfOratiOns
for ventilation, in which you can carry
a pair of chicks.
in the suburbs or the country who want
few chickens. At the Easter season we
sell thousands of little chicks. Of their
final fate I would not undertake to say,
but that of the greater number of
those taken into the suburbs and the
country may be happy enough.
j. ''Of small chicken raisers there are
hundreds doing business in New York,
and living in the suburbs or the coun-
try, who bring to the city with them
daily eggs from their chickens, which
they sell to dealers or, it may be- to
friends or acquaintances. We sell
boxes for just that use; paper boxes
that knock down fiat, and that by the
hundred cost less. than a cent apiece.
There are some small poultry raisers
who make more money on eggs than
they earn at their business.
There is fair higher intelligence
displayed nowadays in poultry farm
ing than ever before. Poultry raisers
are getting rid of their mongrel stock
and putting in good thoroughbred
stock, to the immense advantage not
only of themselves but of everybody
else. The improved breeds yield bet
ter meat, and they lay more and bet.
ter eggs: and as the fowls of any one
breed are more nearly uniform in size.
they pack and ship better.
I'VE speak of small change as
chicken feed and we are accustomed
to think of chickens and eggs as
small, if not minor things. But the
poultry products of the United States
annually exceed in value that of the
country's wheat and corn crops COM
bined; and the cOuntry's poultry prod.
ucts have in the past five years an
nually increased in value 20 per cent,
with the supply not yet equal to the
demand"

Our Beautiful Newport
Long a Famous Resort
Wealth and Fashion Gathered Thee Before the Revolutionary War
Elegance and Statenes. Preceded Modem Masn6cence.

The papers give US word Of the de-
sired withdrawal of the personages in
habiting Newport the Magnificent"
from the common folk constituting the
city Of Newport, of a petition to the
Rhode Island legislature that their sec.
ton be separated into the city Of South
Newport.
Let us glance a moment at the
far-famed town; let US inquire when
It first came into fashion, look at
it now as the social phenomenon
it is.
Long ago Newport was noted for
both social and commercial supremacy.
Ormond Tiffany writes Before New
York was great, Newport was a -four
fishing city, and its commerce wh1tenel
every sea. Opulent merchants dis
pensed princely hospitality, and near
ly hundred wealthy Hebrew families
worshiped in its now deserted syna-
gogue. When the revolution disturbed
the prosperity of the town so admir-
ably situated for both commerce and
agreeable summer resort, there ensued
a long period of depression, Newport
lost its prestige.
The year 1880 is given by Mr.. Tif-
fany as the date *:the tide of Newport's
prosperity began slowly to turn" in the
right direction; Baltimore gentleman
of wealth then settling there, and his
presence influencing friends to follow
suit. A number of southerners put up
fine dwellings,, and little by little New
port again grew in favor. In 1914 the
hotels Ocean and Atlantic were built,
and about this time elegant villas be-
gan to appear. Newport was anew the
haunt of wealth and fashion.
But let us turn back to the ante
revolutionary days; and earlier still, to
