Farmers and Housekeepers Week" at
the University Of Idaho.

Twenty years ago if any one had
foretold that gathering such as was
held the past week at the University
of Idaho would be held at the present
time at any University or Agricul-
tural College in the United States,
they would have been considered in
sincere prophets to say the least.

800 people interested in farming.

of listening to the latest information
along scientific agricultural lines; it
speaks we'll for the future of agricul-
ture and all its branches in this state.
The interest was manifest from be-
ginning to end, or from o'clock
Monday morning until noon of the

a lecture or demonstration scheduled
but what was we'll attended and the
lecture rooms filled to capacity.
Monday was Field Crops day and
the subject of grain growing in all
its phases was covered from the SOW

WEEKLY WAR news

Friday The heavy fighting in
the western war zone which preceded
and was contemporaneous with En-
peror Williams birthday, seemingly
again has deteriorated into the spor-
adic artillery duels and infantry at.

approach of the German monarch

In the east the Austrians and Rus
SLAMS evidently have been at strong
grips, and if Vienna's report should
prove correct Russian arms have re-
ceived check.
The expenditures of France on ac-
count of the war for six months have
amounted to $3.50. 900, 900, according
to Alexandra Ribot, the French min
lister of finance, much smaller
amount, he intimated to the chamber
of deputies, than had been expected.
Saturday-Again it is in the east
that the most sanguinary fighting
is taking place-in East Prussia, in
parts Of Poland and in the Carpathian
range.
Most important of these engage
ments is that in East Prussia, we'll
to the north of the Mazurian lakes,
where the Russians met severe re-
pulse at the hands of the troops of
General Won Hindenburg in the early
days of the war. Here the Russians
are battling hard with the Germans
in an endeavor to pierce their way
through to Koenigsberg.
Petrograd says that near Borjil-
NOV, in Poland, trenches were taken
from the Germans by bayonet attacks
and on the Galician front of the Car
pathians the Russians have made
satisfactory progress.
Vienna declares that to the west
of Uzsok pass, in the Carpathians,
the Russians in this vicinity have
met with a reverse.
In the west the only fighting where
prominent mention is made in the
French official report occurred near

recently were driven across the

A royal decree has been issued |
calling to the colors Italy's soldiers

Sunday-Another daring raid on

British commerce has been carried
out successfully by a German war
ship. This exploit was accomplish
ed by submarine, which sunk a
least two steamers off the west coas
of England, not far from Liverpool.
The crews of both were saved.
England now believes that Ger
many has decided TO make good the
threat of Admiral Won Tirpitz that
submarines might be used to sink
merchant vessels flying the British
flag. The attack by the submarine
far from its base and only short
distance off the coast has caused a
sensation in shipping circles because
of the fact that steamers have al
ready been sunk off the French and
Belgian coasts.
The conflict which has embroiled
the greater part of Europe in the
worlds greatest war now has lasted
half a year without a decisive ad-
vantage having been gained on any
field. AS the seventh month of the
struggle begins new armies are being
and new campaigns
mapped out. This is true particu-
larly in the east, where Russia has
delved again into her tremendous
reservoir of men preparatory to an
effort to defeat decisively the Austro-
German allies.
Monday-The German emperor is
quoted by a Cologne newspaper as
recently when pinning the
Iron cross on a German soldier:
"We will stay in hostile territory
until the enemy is vanquished or has
collapsed"
1t has been definitely ascertained
that the German submarine U-21
sank three steamers in the Irish sea

GLIMPSE AT TODAY'S
 SESSION OF COURT
Gives Good Argument Against Woman
 SuffraQc--- Rallies Arrested.

One of the best arguments against woman suffrage, which is being ad- vocated about the city by a couple of young ladies this week, was seen in police court this morning when Mrs Mary Susie was tried on a charge of assaulting Mrs. Susie Sahan. Mary was found guilty and despite the argument of Lawyer Joseph c. Woods, Judge Meskill fined her s3 and costs for her pugilistic procliv- ities
 During the course of the trial peek into the court room gave one the impression that bedlam had broke loose. Both complainant and accused insisted on talking at once and frequently their respective friends butted in as well. From the story told by Susie it appeared that some time ago. Mary borrowed $50 from her with which to buy a trouseau for her daughter. Yesterday. de- clared Susie, Mary rushed into her house looking for trouble Seeing that Mary was looking for trouble, Susie looked for her $50, and a free for all was precipitated. In her ex citement Mary grabbed up a lighted
 
 ther hostile acts were prevented by friends. Before the dove of peace came out of hiding, however, Mary had showed Susies face through crack in the floor and had pulled out enough hair to make a presentable "rat."
 Mary's version of the fight differed materially. She claimed to have paid nt any more, because Susie owed her SIP rent.
 Chased Off Street.
 Evidently Susie was not satisfied with the Judges decision, for she hurried down to the desk and ap pealed to Chief Rawlings, explaining that Mary still refused to pay back her $50. After being shooed outside, she camped on the police station steps and when Mary's husband issued forth she at once proceeded to up- braid him and demanded her fifty iron men. This wordy war was waxing so fierce that Sergeant Herting was finally compelled to order the entire party away.
 No Lights on AutO.-Fined.
 Because when he drove onto Main street at 10 o'clock last night only the rear light on his machine was burning Alex Rheims was arrested by Officer Michael Massey. He pleaded guilty in court and his father paid the fine of $5 without costs which was inn posed, Rheims explained that he lighted his lamps but the oil was so low that it burned out.
