IDAHO EXHIBITS
DRAWING CROWDS
FORMER SECRETARY BRYAN COM
PLIMENTED IDAHO'S AGRICUL-
TURAL EXHIBIT RECENTLY
University Wood and By-Pr0duct Ex-
hibit Attracts NOtice-IdahO Ac-
tivities at the Big Fair
BY j. ID. FLENNER

SAN FRANCISCO, July 15.-(Spe-
cial.)- There are large crowds OF
people every day at the Idaho exhibits
in the various buildings and when our
fresh fruit exhibits arrive and are
placed in position there can hardly be
a question but that Idaho will be
awarded several more prizes. 1t will
be interesting to know that one day
last week the Honorable William Jen-
nings Bryan while viewing the diff
ferent exhibits in the Palace of Agri-
culture stopped at the Idaho exhibit
and complimented Idaho's agricultural
products very highly.
Special mention deserves to be made
of the wood and by-products exhibit
prepared under the auspices of the
Idaho university. The finished woods
on display comprises but three SPECIE;
and yet the exhibit contains over
eighty shades of finished woods ally
one of which would greatly enhance
the value of cabinet work and other
use where interior woods are desired.
The by-products idea was developed
by the university and carried to the
point where the bureau of chemistry
became interested in the results and
for the past year one of their men has
been detailed at the laboratory of the
university where he is buSily engaged
in distilling and working out a by
product in the different woods. The
exhibit Of these by-products in the
agricultural department contains the
following samples all taken from the
Idaho Yellow Pine stump wood; sam
plies of resinous wood; crude turpen
tine; refined turpentine; wood cresote:
resin oil; pine oil; acid liquors; char
coal the materials are all of standard
grade and commercial value.
Among the Idaho visitors to the
Idaho building recently are Mrs. AL
fred Eoff, Miss Anna Post, now of Sc
a.tie but formerly of Boise and the |
daughter of John Post one of Boice's |
early-day postmasters, and Mrs. Davil |
Falk
The interest in the Wednesday af- |
ternoon teas at the Idaho building
does not diminish Last Wednesday a
number of the hostesses of the state
Of the exposition attended
The tea to welcome Mrs. Ridenbaugh
back, as did also a number of the

GRAIN GRADES
BEING FIXED
WASHINGTON GRAIN COMMISSION
NOW MAKING INVESTIGATION
TO ESTABLISH STANDARDS
Affects Idaho Grown Grain Shipped to
Coast Terminals-Re Russian Var
iety VIII Have More Liberal Test

! Local grain dealers are vitality in
terested in the deliberations of the
Public Service Commission of the state
of Washington which is now holding
meetings at the principal grain termin-
ais of the state for the purpose of ta-
king evidence, examining samples and
finally fixing the standard of grades
for the coming year. Since the Idaho
grain commission law was repealed
the Washington law has become eff
fective in Idaho in so far as the
standard grades are concerned, most
of the product reaching Washington
and Oregon terminals. Oregon grain
buyers and exporters are governed
largely by the grain standards of
Washington
The commission has fixed tentative
proposal on grain and hay grades. 1t
is proposed to lower the test weight OF
red Russian wheat, one pound, ma
king the test not less than 81 pounds
for No. l, 56 pounds for No. 2, and
50 pounds for No. 3. 1t is probable
that these new grades on red Rus
sian will stand.
1t is understood that the commits
sion's plan TO change the classification
of red hybrids to red fife or red Rus
sian, the general appearance of the
sample and placing it under the class
ification it most nearly represents, and
also the proposal to classify white
hybrids as club, are meeting with op
position from grain dealers. The COM
mission has decided that Martin amber,
red Allen and early bart shall be clas
sified as bluestem. In the general
of grains the commits "
sion classifies wheat, oats, barley, rye,
and corn, with but few changes from
last years grades Some Slight
changes in. hay grades are proposed,
but in the main are. similar to the
grades established last year.

By the United Press Associations
WASHINGTON, July 15.-The new
note to Germany reiterating the de-
mands of the United States to the
kaiser's submarine warfare will be
! decided by the president and Secretary
Lansing next Wednesday, it is under
stood.
Cabinet Session Tuesday
They will present their views as to
the nature of the reply that should
be made to the late German note to
the cabinet Tuesday, following the re-
turn of the president from Cornish and
the work of framing the new commun-
ication will then be taken up.
New Paragraph Added
1t isn't expected that the note will
differ in substance from previous COM
munications regarding the sinking Of
the Lusitania and the general sub
marine warfare which have been for
warded to Berlin, except in one in
stance. This will be the inclusion
of paragraph which probably will be
added to the effect that the United
States would like an explicit answer
as to the demand that Americans be
assured of safety in travel upon the
high seas.
Make Concerted Protest.
AMSTERDAM, July ia concert

Berlin advices stated that the Aus

Of similar shipments to the Teutonic |

State Pride indispensable

Estate pride is as indispensable 1
the building of great state as sci
respect in the formation and upbuild
ing of private character. We ought tt
cultivate it in every conceivable way
AS the individual builds his home ane
puts his personal character into its
architecture and grounds, its furnish
ings and it's library, distinguishing il
thus from that of all his ne1ghbors
so a people for good or for bad, write
their character and purposes inevlta-
bly, into the institutions and laws OF a
State and thus give to her a character
by which she is to be judged among all
the sisterhood of states. Who does not
want to see the name Idaho come to
have significance all it's own, mark
of distinction and an Individuality
which shall be hers and hers alone.
Has Fine Citizenship
ITO this splendidly lowered state
has come from the beginning an ex-
ceptional class of peaple. Her citizen
ship is of the best strain of the whole
country l was gratified beyond meas
ure in running over the statistics
gathered by our census bureau to fine
how far up Idaho stands in all the
qualities of virile and dependable cit
izenship. No one can live among and
intermingle with the people of this
state for twenty odd years as | have,
feeling the. inspiration and encourage
ment of their open, generous, sturdv
natures and not believe in them mot
trust them implicitly, not feel that
the highest honor that can come to
anyone is to faithfully serve them.
Another Side of Picture
But, my friends, there is another
side to this picture and at the risk
of being misunderstood I am going t.
be frank with you in regard to it. A
man may be good to his family, be
may meet with courage and hope the
adversities which so often envelope
those who go out into the desert AMI
waste places to rear homes and build
communities, he may meet at the cost
of great denial the obligations of debt
he may be sober, law abiding and up |
right in all the transactions among |
men and vet not meet in full measure
the responsibilities of citizenship.
even thousands of our best
citizens do not exercize their right of
franchise. They take no part in the
selection or election of those with
whom are to be trusted for a stated
season the welfare of the whole peo-
pie and the honor of the entire state.
They practically withdraw from al
matters of public concern.

Idaho
States Honor Bartered
Idaho has lately suffered shame and
humiliation by reason of the betrayal
of some of those in whom the people
had reposed their confidence. 1t is A
nauseating affair-this cold, cowardly
deliberate bartering of the states hon
or. Corruption in public office is not
to be measured in it's consequences by
the direct loss occurring such things
impair the reputation and standing Of
the state in every financial center of
the United States. 1t reduces the val
ue of every farm, of every horse and
COW, of every state and municipal bona
and warrant, it increases vour =
and lessons your values. Men engaged
in legitimate business, capital seeking
legitimate investment, railroads and
corporate enterprise looking for ex
tensions and for ways in which to in
vest, turn aside if they can from that
state where incompetency and venality
prevail in the public service.
Must Come to the Rescue
''The best way for you to raise the
price of every acre of your land, to
increase the value of all your holdings,
to lower your taxes and increase your
bank account is to take sufficient time
from your other affairs of life to see
that we have decent public officials.
A commonwealth whose people are
blessed with deep sense of civic re-
sponsibility, where there is an atmos
phere of honesty and conscientious

wealth which enriches and enlarges
the material wealth of the state a
hundred fold.
