FIRST PRINTERS DEVIL

In the early days of printing this
art was much of mystery and ignor-
ant people thought the printer evoked
the aid of the powers 'of evil. Aldus
Manutius, the famous Italian printer
of the sixteenth century, went to
Africa on an exploring expedition and
brought back with him a black negro
boy. Negroes were a rarity then. Tho
report Immediately gained circulation
that the printer had been employing
the black art in his work and that
the pickaninny was in realty an imp
of Satan. He was called the Little
Black Devil The charge became so
serious that the printer was forced
to exhibit the negro in public. In his
announcement he said:
"Be it known to Venice that I,
Aldus Manutius, printer to the Holy
Church and to the Doge, have this
day made public exposure of tho
printers devil All those who think
he is not flesh and blood may como
and pinch him."
And that is how the term printers
devir' had it's origin.

BUMPER CROP THIS YEAR

IF the present outlook can be ia
ken as an indication, Idaho Is going
to have the greatest fruit crop in
the history of the state" said c. X
Macy, state horticultural inspector
Saturday.
while it is really. too early to be
certain Of this bumper crop, all oui
reports now give us every reason tc
be optimistic. Until the first Of May
a. any rate there is always danger
Of killing frost unless the warm
weather continues long enough TO,
the fruit to reach such a stage that
the frost cannot damage it. The buds
are beginning already to swell undel

Gently, and our deputies are watching
carefully to prepare the growers, il
possible, for protection against frosts.
Fight Against Moths
1--WE will have to get cut our moth
box, too, if this sunshine continues
You know, we raise moths here in the
office, SO that we may know what
stage their development has reached
and what advice to give the growers
in their fight for their trees. Mr.
Ashby, my assistant. brought in some
worms Of the codling moth Just the
other day, and we are ready to start
We will get a Towering branch fol
them to live upon and watch theil
progress.
Looks Good In North
The deputy who has charge of oul
work in the northern part of the
state, in his last report to me said
that he had never seen indications
of better and bigger crop.
From down Emmett way We hear
that the peach crop is going to be o
wonderful one, and here in this local.
ity the outlook for prunes has never
been surpassed. All sections of the
state report an outlook for bumpe,
apple crop, SO that it now appears
that Idaho is due for the biggest and
best fruit crop in the states history.
Anxious to Spray
I'm years past we have had trouble
in making the farmers and fruitsrcw.
ers spray. This year it is just tho op-
posite. In the great majority Of cases
they are anxious to spray, and we are
only asked to help with the mixture
of the solutions. Our deputies are
kept busy working with the growers
instead Of as in the past, making then
do the work. They have seen the
value of the work and the increased
value of the perfect fruit, even count
ing the work and expense entailed in
producing it, and are only too glad tc
follow our suggestions

TROOPS TO QUIT COLORADO.
Arrangements Made at Conference in
Washington.

Washington, Dec. Encouragement,
for beginning the withdrawal of fedora
troops from the Colorado strike districts
within the next ten days were yester-
day made at conference between Pres
idcnt Wilson, Governor Ammons of Col
orado, Governor elect Carlson and Sena-
tor Shafroth. After seeing the president
the Colorado officials discussed details
with Secretary Garrison.
Governor Ammons told the president
that if the plan Withdrawing the troops
from one district at time were carried
out he would be able to control the stu
alton with local officials. He told the
president he would leave for Colorado
to-day and was willing that the first
troops be withdrawn as soon as he ar
rives.
Governor Ammons advised that Seth
Low and the other members of the pres
ident's Colorado strike committee be not
sent into the state for the present and
said that the investiga tion carried on by
the Federal Industrial Relations commits
sion had postponed the settlement OF the
strike at least two weeks
