The operetta, 1.-THE American

College of Idaho, Friday night,
at Roswell, was well received, as
well as excellently staged. The
young ladies were letter perfect
in their lines and it would take
an ultra-discerning critic TO
select an individual star from
that bevy OF beauty, as they
were all bright as histronic
luminaries. The following is the

Governor Makes Indus
try Week Proclamation

A custom of somewhat recent
origin has sprung up in this
state of observing a certain week
in the spring OF each year as
Home Industry Week. l have
been requested to issue procla-
nation calling attention to the
Importance of this movement to
secure a better encouragement of
our home industries
1t required no argument to
demonstrate that in helping to
build up the business of our
neighbor we do but help develop
the community and thus help
ourselves. We should, l think,
aim insofar as possible, to pa
tronixe-
First, those industries which
are located in our home commu-
mites.
Second, those industries which
are located in the Pacific North
west.
Because OF the great import
ance which attaches to thia
movement | am glad to comply
with the request that ] call pub
lie attention to the same in this
| formal manner.
Now, therefore, l, John NJ
Haines, governor of the state OF
Idaho, do hereby proclaim and
set aside the week beginning on
Monday. the 18th day Of April.
and ending Saturday, the 18th
day of April as Home Industry
Week.
In testimony whereof, | have
hereunto set my hand and caused
the great seal of the state TO be
affixed this 11th day of March,
1914. JOHN NJ. HAINES.
Governor.

Mrs. j. II. Bnrchell, who ar-
rived in Parma "a few days ago
from st LOUIS, is reported as

First Game
OF Baseball

Last Friday afternoon the
baseball season opened in Parma
between the College of Idaho and
the local High School nine, aud
every baseball bug of either gen.
der who could spare the time
and had the courage to climb TO
the local park was conspicuous
by their quality of roofing,
which wasn't a faded hnldover
from last season, but "A lusty,
vigorous, 1914 root, which put
ginger into fhe contestants and
enlivened All occasion which had
been looked forward to for weeks
by both teams and their ad-
mirers.
1t was the first practice game
for either team, and both made
a good showing. The college
players were of course more sea-
soned and more brawny than
their youthful combatants, and
played with a trifie more snap,
but Patsy Stockton's bunch
we're in the game at all times,
and made the Champs work for
the scores credited to them.
In some respects the game was
a comedy of errors, which was
only made tragic when Parma
lost the contest, but not without
having a few scores to her credit.
There we're weak spots noticea-
BILE in each team, which of course
will strengthen as the season
advances. A few weeks more of
practice and of team work will
put the high school team on a
higher plane OF efficiency, and if
they do not end the season with
first honors, will be far removed
from the class OF cellar gladia-
tors.
Naturally, the work of the
College of Idaho team was of in
terest to Parma fans, as this
town has FIVE OF the nine players
on the team, and their workout
was, while not hawless, excep-
tionally creditable for the first
practice game. Buntroek, Alex
andder and Webb, as the bat
terry, showed class, and the field
ing at times was brilliant
The same may be said for the
Parma High. with Jurries and
Wright as battery. Errors were
made galore, but probably not
much more glaring than the
visitors committed, and some
star fielding stunts were pulled
OF. Parma, while suffering de.
feat, had the supreme satisfao-
tion Of marking up few scores.
Mayor Fisk held the Indicator,
and survived to relate the tale
of an exciting. but unsanguinary
encounter
The truth is not always pala-
table, and while it might make a
good news item the result of the
game will be left To conjecture
The score of neither side reached
the three-iigure dimension and
the score Keepers pencil per
formed nobly in the hit, run and
error columns.
The following is the lineup o
the teams:

NEW YORK, Sept. 2S.--An unsuccessful

The Dutch flag at the topmast aroused
the suspicion OF the British authorities,
who had made arrangements with the
Dutch that all their vessels entering
English ports should fly the Dutch FLAG
at half mast. The ship was accordingly
surrounded by torpedo boats and search
