EXTREMELY BRIGHT
STATE, BANK COMMISSIONER G. r.
HIT VISITED MOSCOW AND
TALKS OPTIMISTICALLY
Crop Conditions in Idaho are GGOd
And Farmers Have More Hopeful
Feeling

"State banks in Idaho, as we'll as

time and seem to be fiourishing." SAID
G. R. Hit, state bank commissioner
who was in Moscow Sunday, having
come here to meet Eugene Pierce

the state.
There is a general improvement
of conditions all over the state ii

this month with the previous call.
There is better tone in the deposits
and the favorable crop conditions have
given a healthier aspect. Everywhere
in Idaho farmers are jubilent over the

NEW RAILROAD TO
AID UNIVERSITY
COMMISSIONER OF EDUCATION
SISSON SOUNDS AN IMPORTANT
NOTE IN NEW DEVELOPMENT
North and South Railroad Would
be Great Factor in Building up
Student Body at University

| Boise News. The needs of a north
and south road in Idaho to bring
southern Idaho students nearer to the
great state university at Moscow, was
pointed out last night by DR.. Edward
0. Sisson, state commissioner of edu-
cation, in an address before the Uni
versity club in the Commercial Club
rooms. There were some 40 members
in attendance and DR.. Sisson made
plain to them the need of encouraging
young men and women to attend the
university and urged them to give the
institution their support.
He declared that the greatest handi-
cap to the university was also the
greatest handicap to the state of Idaho
in general-the lack of transportation
between the north and south and he
declared that all who love Idaho
overcoming that handicap.
He stated that Idaho had estab-
lished the most complete unified sys-
tenn of educational control in the
United States. Real unity and har-
mony ought to be possible under this
system he said, and had prevailed.
The university needs more students
from the south and southeast, he said,
and no less do the south and southeast
need to send more students to the uni
versity. He said he could not think of
any more potent and vital bond be
tween north and south Idaho than
great body of loyal, state-minded uni
versity alumni in the south.
He urged that the University club
take to heart the interests of the state
to put their shoulders to
the wheel for it's progress and to those
who were far from their Alma Mater.
he advised that they get naturalized
and take the University of Idaho rs
their adopted alma mater and work fer
the interests of the university.
Professor L. F. Briois, teacher OF
French, Spanish and Italian, who has
come west to locate, was a guest Oh
honor at the club session and enter
aimed with reading. Light refresh
nents were served at the close of the |
business session.

SALES DAYS
ARE POPULAR
E. J. IDDINGS DISCUSSES VALUE
OF THIS WORK TO THE
COMMUNITY
Farmers Will Benefit Greatly in New
Plans Outlined by Chamber Of
Commerce

The facilities that farmers sales
days, to be started here on June 7th
will give ranchers to dispose ot
stock at the minimum expense, and the
interest in live stock raising that Ii
will be possible to develop through
the gathering of people here on such
occasions will be sources of great
benefit to the community, in the opin-
ion of E. J. Iddings, dean Of the col
Nlege of agriculture, who spoke at the
Chamber of Commerce luncheon to-
day
According to statements Of buyers
for packing plants, there is dearth
of live stock for packing purposes
in this district; and Mr.. Iddings to-
day expressed the opinion that there
is far Less live stock raised in the
neighborhood of Moscow than there
should be. He pointed out the we'll e.
tablished principle that no agricul-
tural community can prosper indef-
initely by the raising of grain, or OF
grass, alone, and that ultimately all
must take up diversified farming, and
feed live stock on the ranches.
"There is need of more widespread
knowledge of stock raising" said Mr..
Iddings, "and wider appreciation OF
the value of pure bred stock. People
must learn to pay more than meat
prices for breeding stock. 1t costs
more to raise such stock than to-
raise stock for the packer; but exper-
ience long ago proved that using sucE
stock pays we'll"

WILSON'S TRUMP CARD
WASHINGTON, May 1S.-Pressure
from other neutrals is the trump card
the United States has played in the
attempt to force Germany to accep-
the position of the United States re-
garding submarine attacks on neutral
ships and passenger carrying vessels
of belligerent nations. 1t was learn
ed today that copies of Wilson's note
were placed at the disposal of neutral
countries whose citizens were lost in
the Lusitania disaster. 1t is reported
that these nations endorsed the issues
as outlined by the president. 1t IS
presumed that this was what the pres
ident had in mind when in his New
York speech yesterday he said I'VE
ask only what we have right to ask
for all humanity"
Delay Answering Note
BERLIN, May 18.-A possibility that
Germany may not reply to the Ameri-
can submarine war protest this week
is evident. 1t is admitted that the
Italian situation served to focus Of
fetal and popular attention to such
degree that the American note became
a. secondary consideration. At the for
eiga. office it is stated that the entir,
matter in the American negotiations
is now in the hands of Chancellor Won
Bethman- -Hollweg. His draft of reply
to Wilson's note will probably be gon7
over carefully by the kaiser.
