scholastic Defamation. Contest.
A week ago Friday there was held
in Pocatello the annual Inter-scholas-
tic defamation contest, at which
Clarence Hill, the representative of
the College of Idaho, carried off the
honors.
The Inter-scholastic League in
cludes all of the principle institutes
of Southern Idaho, such as the Col
lege of Idaho, Pocatello State Acad-
envy, Rexburg Academy, Albion State
Normal, and the high schools of
Boise, Pocatello, HALEY, Blackfoot,
Twin Falls, Mountainhome, Payette,
besides several other smaller high
schools.
The whole contest was of high
order of excellence and the College
of Idaho feels very proud of Mr.. Hill.
After the contest was over, an
elaborate banquet was served at
which about $50 guests sat down.
During the toasts, which followed the
winner was repeatedly complimented
on the irresistible way in which he
delivered his reading, "My Whip
pings" In fact there appeared to
be a universal agreement that Mr..
Hill was deserving of all the honor
which he had received. He will re-
ceive pennant, which will be placed
in the College Library.
Many important matters came up
in the annual meeting of the Inter
scholastic League. The defamation
contests will be held In Boise next
fall, at which three first prizes will
be offered-one for the best dra-
matte, numerous, and oratorlcal pro-
duction respectively. Into this con-
test will go the winners of the sec
ton contests. Southern Idaho being

1t was likewise arranged at tn,
meeting of the is. L. that an an
nual oratorical contest would be hell

ures were also passed in referenc
to professionalism.

BEAUTIFUL PRODUCTS
 OF RUSSIAN INDUSTRY
The Hammered Brass at ealke's Big
 Curio Store.

Nothing would be more highly ap- preciated as a Christmas present than an article of Russian hammered brass. This beautiful ware is found in great profusion at Balke's Big Curio Store. In fact, MT Bake introduced it into Phoenix and has the largest and best selected stock of it in the west. On his last trip to Europe he made a selection of it at the factory at War saw and established an acquaintance there which has since been of advan- tage to him in replenishing the stock
 Hammered brass has been for years an industry almost exclusively Russian. It is protected by the government and all products bear the Russian govern ment stamp as a guaranty of their genuineness. Warsaw is the center of the hammered brass trade and it is there that the stock of the Big Curio store came from.
 In the course of his travels through Russia, Mir. Bake picked up a great many antiques in Russian brass, made centuries ago. They are also on sale. The products of the factories today are largely copies of them.
 Russian hammered brass should not be confounded with Japanese brass ware. The former is solid, bearing the marks of the hammer. The latter has the appearance of solidity but consists of two thin shells filled in between with some sort of compound.
 This Japanese ware is attractive to dealers for the reason that it can be sold for something less than the genuine and at the same time leave bigger profit, but it will not be nearly so satisfactory to the buyer

 There is q great range of price in Russian hammered brass. There are articles which may be bought for dollar and they run from that up to $25 for the larger and costlier vases.
 Among the antiques brought over from Europe and which may be mentioned in connection with the brass ware are many articles of old pewter which is becoming more val uable every year.
 There is another line on sale at the Big Curio, which is within the reach of all. It consists of the so-called Arts and Crafts" hat pins and belt pins. They are made in Phoenix of
