They are fire proof and germ proof
and will undoubtedly stand for cen
turtles. The three bins have a capacity
of $4,000 bushels which will give the
mill a storage capacity of 10000 bu-
shells of gram The bins are IA feet
in diameter and 40 feet high inside
measurement. The work will be push
ed to completion in order that this
years crop may be handled.
DR.. A. +. lsham, principal stock
holder in the company and head of the
enterprise, states that the mill is en-
joying a good, steady growth and that
the improvements were greatly need
ed. The mill has been somewhat
handicapped owing to the fact that it
had a small storage capacity. DR..
Isham is doing a large business and
farmer brings his wheat to the mill
and receives flour in exchange when
ever he desires. The middleman's
profit is in this way cut out.
Flour is Very Best.
The flour made at this mill is as
good as any made in the northwest SC
we are told by people who have used
it. The mill is not as large as other
mills in Idaho but the machinery
equipment and millers employed are
the best. A frst-class product is
! turned out.

GO TO EIJROPEl

Whenever difficulties arise with
foreign nations, the lingo bursts out
like wild animals for a fight. Just at
present he's holding forth at every
corner drug store and grocery in the
land, where the proprietor hasn't got
on to him. He's telling whoever will
listen why the United States should
go to war and what this country would
do if it measured arms with an enemy
When the time comes for volunteers,
the jingo will get case of charley
horse and won't be able to march, SO
the quiet fellow, who wasn't so darned
anxious about the war in the first
place, will have to shoulder the mus
ket and do the fighting. Champ Clark
is advising the country to leave the
settlement of our difficulties with fore
ign powers to the president and his
advisors. In the trenches, the Ger
mans are said to be doing more harm
with poisonous gas than with bullets.
That's what the lingo is doing over
here with his conversational gas. If
you want to fight, go to Europe!

ARE BRIGHT
FOR THE POTATO GROWER
President Wright Reports on Condi-
tions-Also on Pocatello Meet.

Chas. Wright, president of the local
potato growers association has return
ed from Pocatello, where he attended
a meeting of the southern Idaho as
ISOLATION. He states that the pros
poets for the association this year are
very bright.
The annual meeting of the associa-
ton was held at Pocatello, June p
and g. President Wright was the
delegate from the Caldwell associa-
ton. He reports as follows:>
Last years output of potatoes
through the association at Pocatello
was 1889 cars shipped and collected,
and indications are such that the out
put this year will be much larger.
The subject was thoroughly discus
sed as to better grade this year. as
last year the association was put a
great deal of unnecessary trouble and
expense, caused by inferior potatoes
being shipped as hrst-class and also
numerous occasions occurred when
potatoes were shipped IN a badly
frozen condition. The Idaho potato
if graded properly, has no equal on
the market for quality and when
shipment reaches the consumer, if
put up in Satisfactory manner, the
grower has no trouble in selling ano-
Their car to the same place.
The associations headquarters at
Pocatello has been cleaning house and
has culled out unnecessary high pric-
ed men, thereby the association will
be run at several thousand dollars less
expense this year.
A general meeting of the growers
of Caldwell local, will be held July
End, and every grower is requested
to be present to discuss the plan Of
business for the season.

bursements of interest and dividends
will release nearly $275, 100000 for re-
investment. According to records
compiled by the Journal of Commerce
total of $270,084,6l3 will be paid to
investors, representing dividend and
interest disbursements by railroads,
industrial and traction corporations,
banks and trust companies, the Ma
tional Government and the City of
New York. This compares with
$50, 1886, $50 for the same period last
year. Next month the sum of $685.
685, 764 will be distributed among the
stockholders in the way of dividends,
as against 500, 388,635 in 1914. This
falling off is due to the fact that a
number of corporations have either re-
duced or omitted payments altogether.
However, there are a few additions
to the list and several larger pay
ments, while some companies will pay
out dividends on an enlarged capitali-
cation. incidentally, the returns are
more complete than year ago.
Interest payments will amount to
$174, 398,84o, against $163,9o7,145 in
1914, the increase being the result of
new bond and note issues. In addi-
liOIl llS ODhSdllOHS
of $1,250,00O, the City of New York
will also pay off about $8,0O0000, as
against $6,000,000 last year. However,
the latter figures are not included in
the grand total for either year.

FIRST BISHOP OF OUR RACE.
How Francisco Jovisr dc Luna Vic
toria Rose to the Episeopats. 81

How Francisco Jovisr de Luna Vic
toria Rose to the Episeopats. q
The first bishop of Negro blood on
the American continent to wear the
miter was Right Rev. Francisco Jovier
de Luna Victoria, who was the son of
q freed slave who pursued the voca-
ton of a charcoal burner, near Boca
de la Rio Grande, and peddled it on
his back in the streets of Panama, as
one there may see many Negroes still
doing. This old man lived for no 9TH
ef purpose than to rear and educate
his son and offer him for the sacred
ministry, and he saw his purpose &C.
complished. .-.-..- F"ta&
Luna Victoria was not only a man
Of virtue and learning, but success
ful man Of affairs as well. When the
see Of Panama became vacant by the
promotion Of Bishop Juan de Caster
Ida to the see of Cuzco, Peru, 1t hav-
ing been offered to and refused by
several members Of religious orders,
the miter fell upon the head Of the
priest Francisco Jovier de Luna Vic
toria, native Of the country, who had
ascended in the degrees Of the ecclesi-
astical hierarchy by his merits and vir-
tues. '..
He was well received and accepted
By the people Of Panama in those days,
when It was known as q proud and
wealthy city" He took possession Of
the diocese on the 18th Of August, 1851.
The new prelate. it Is recorded, fur
nished at his own expense the cathe-
dral and enriched 1t with jewelry and
precious vestments, placed the bells on
the towers and was transferred to the
sec Of Trujillo, Peru, in 1850.
He continued to furnish the money
until the building was completed on
the Sd Of December, l76O. He was the
arst man Of Negro blood on the Amer
lean continent to Weir the miter and
the flowing robes Of a bishop Of the
Roman Catholic church. s"

THE MORAL PHASE OF NEGRO
LIFE.
Home Training Most Important.
Says Miss Mamie II. Burroughs.

Home Training Most Important.
Says Miss Mamie H. Burroughs.
The moral phase of the Negro
problem is the most serious part OF
the whole aggravating question. To
improve the standard of the life of the
masses is the only solution.
As with other races, the standards
in the homes are set up by the women
who preside over them. Therefore
to bring about reform the woman
hood of the race must be taught
how to instruct their children In
those virtues, that have made the
most advanced races what they are.
We are prone to think that the
Negro Is by nature religious and
therefore moral. He is both; but he
is not enough of either when it comes
to living up to fundamental principles
every day life. Because of his crude
conception of what the Christian re-
ligion really Is he too often practices
one thing and breaches another.
Often the foremost woman in the
church is so far from q model for her
less ambitious sisters that they look
with contempt upon her and dis
credit religion. This misrepresenta-
tion of the genuine article takes many
forms and sometimes the one woman
Is combination of all. She allows
beer drinking, card playing, and rag
time music in her home. She Is loose
in her conversation. Her language is
often smutty. Her demeanor be-
comes a woman of the street. Her
home is hangout for sliding elders"
and loafing, hungry preachers. Her
house Is poorly kept. Her children
are too young to, be men and wom-
en- and too old to be children. They
are theregore the freshest things in
the neighborhood. They run the
church. They sit in the front heat,
chew gum, talk and keep their gang"
giggling. To speak to them is to
throw a match into a magazine of
powder.
These wise and talented youngsters
of the leading sisters, get into the
choir and start trouble for the Choir
listers. They get religion and start
trouble for the deacons. These chill
dren of too many of those who aspire
to leadership in our local churches
presume too much on the standing
and influence of their mothers and
give our churches all kinds of trouble.
What we need is a new type of
women in our homes as mothers,
and a new type of women in our
as leaders and examples for
the young.
The wig wearing, gum chewing,
beer smelling, mouth running, street
trotting, home neglecting, convention
fever type of women are out of style,
and from them may we soon be de-
livered.

everywhere the spirit of persecu-
ton against the Colored People
which grows out of race prejudice.
