Editors Idea

"A Kansas newspaper sized up the
drouth situation in that state with
the following: He wouldn't be-
lieve rain cloud under oath. Cat
tie have been living on evaporated
grass for six week. 1t has been the
hardest year on cinch bugs since
Noah pulled the gang plank. Birds
of the air have nests and foxes have
holes, but bug juice has failed. Alf-
alta, which heretofote had the envi-
able reputation of being able to 60
to water has gone and come back
with a bucket of dust. Alfalfa's
tongue is hanging out and she is alf-
alfaing only about two aprons full to
the acre. Caffir corn is splitting
cotton. Apples are making a game
fight, but the cruel hot winds have
given Maiden's Bushes the skin and
compilations of a buckskin glove.
Advance fall styles recommend eat
ing apples this winter with meat
grinders. The man who put the
pump in the pumpkins has not been
able to furnish the water and the
luscious vegetable will have to be
treated like an ordinary navy bean
and soaked over night before using.
Rivers have gone dry and creeks
have gone to dust.

Accept Invitation

The taxpayers of Kennedy Ford
extended an invitation to the Com
missioners of Latah county to meet
them at their school house and ex-
plain the tax questions that are
being so thoroughly agitated in this
county. The commissioners accept
ed the invitation and last Friday
evening met with the citizens of
that district and the report for the
meeting is to the effect that the
people are we'll pleased with the
explanation given by the board and
when the meeting closed the citizens
were satisfied with the explanation.
This is just what would be splendid
idea if every precinct of the county
would hold one of these meetings, it
would give every one the opportunity
to become better acquainted with
the workings of the county and then
you would not hear so many telling
how it all happened, when really they
know nothing about what they are
talking about.

NEW PRESIDENT
FOR THE u. OF l.

DR.. Melvin Amos Brannon ot
North Dakota, was unanimously
elected president of the University
of Idaho by the state board of educ
alton in session in Boise city. DR..
Brannon will assume his new duties
at the earliest possible moment, re-
lieving DR.. w. L. Carlyle, acting
head of the university for the past
year.
The Idaho state board of education
in regular session at Boise Friday
elected DR.. Melvin Amos Brannon,
dean of the College of liberal Arts of
the University of North Dakota,
president of the University of Idaho
to succeed DR.. James Alexander Mac
Lean who just a year ago rendered
his resignation to the board of reg
ents. The selection of DR.. Brannon
came after many months, search
and after a most careful inquiry had
been made into no less than half a
hundred application for the Idaho
presidency.
The new president of University
of Idaho was born in Indiana, of
Scotch-Irish ancestry and is 4o
years of age. He graduated at
Wabash College in 1889, and studied
at the world renowned Marine Biol
ogical Laboratory at Woods Hole,
Massachusetts, and later, in 1912,
received the degree of Doctor of
Philosophy at the University of
Chicago. There are, as many read
ers know, four grades or ranks in
this degree. DR.. Brannon received
the highest of all, rarely given,
summa cum laude," as the acad-
emic Latin puts it.
DR.. Bannon's teaching experience
begun in Wabash college, as labor
atory assistant in botany. He then
taught biology for four years in the
Fort Wayne, Indiana, high school.
From there he went to the University
of North Dakota as professor of
botany. Here he at once engaged
in activities for the good of the state
at large. The first was a biological
survey, covering especially the gras-
ses and forage plants of the state,
and also an investigation of the lakes
and rivers as a source of good pro-
duction. Mr.. Brannon believes that
the state of Idaho has great possibil-
tiles in both these respects.
