RESOURCES BEING
RAPIDLY DEVELOPED
Agricultural Difficulties, Due to
War, Are Now Adjusted; Solv-
ing Labor Problem

Berlin, June -(Correspond
of the Associated Press )-The State s
supervision of the agricultural re-
sources of the country has been
brought to a high state of perfection
during the past few months. Ques-
tions of credits, supplies, labor and
marketing, have all received attention.
In fact, every effort has been made to
adapt the country to the new condi-
tions.
Much effort was needed to trans
form the organization of credit which
so powerfully supports German agra
rian interests, in accordance with the
requirements of war.
One of the acutest difficulties was
the supply of artificial fertilizers, since
the importation of nitrates and guano
had ceased. The problem has been
in general solved by the use of pro-
ducts in which use is made of the
store of nitrogen in the air. In this,
as in other respects, Germany hopes in
the future to be seIf-supporting
The German Farmers Supply Asso-
citation, originally an agency for the
purchase and distribution of a special
manure, has now, at the request of the
Imperial government, become the
central organization for the whole
supply and distribution of cattle foods
and fertilizers. It has also taken over
the folders and fertilizers which were
seized and sent to Germany from the
occupied districts of Belgium. France
and Poland.
To Import Laborers
The labor difficulty was also Sc
rious problem. A special organiza-
ton was formed to supply labor-sav-
ing agricultural machinery to farm
ers, and it is stated that 100000 la
borers. are to be brought from the de-
Vastated district of Poland. Prisoners
of war will also be used; there are
over a million prisoners in the various
camps of Germany and Austria, and
more and more of them are being
used as farm laborers. In many
places they may be seen in their var
led uniforms, at work in the fields.
The women, also, have been mobil-
lied for agricultural labor.
All the German cities and towns are
turning to account their waste land.
Cologne, for example, has made con-
tracts with farmers to SOW 1900 acres
with peas TO rthe city, and to cultivate
potatoes on every available piece of
ground within the city limits.

The foregoing evidently refers to
the raid of Zeppelins over the north
east coast of England on Tuesday
night of last week. The British cen
sorship prevented the publication of
details of this raid and there has been
no previous inttmation that the naval
works at Shields were damaged An
official announcement from London
on June 6 said merely that siXt cen
persons had been killed and forty in
tured and that fires started by bombs
were overcome the morning following
the attack. The announcement did
not say what town had been attacked

Regiment Band
Concert Sunday P. M.

The Metropolitan opera house was
| packed last Sunday afternoon to lis
ten to the concert given by the
Fourth Regiment band.
The purpose of the band boys in
giving the concert was to augment
their fund fer the proposed summer
ltrip to the exposition AT San Fran
cisco. The patronage accorded was
clgarly an endorsement of the pro-
posal by The city, as well as showing
the general disposition not to miss
Ian excellent entertainment.
The program was divided into two
! parts, brtween which Judge L. H.
Myers, IN a brief address, spoke of
the accomplishments of the band, and
particularly of the perseverance on
the part of the director, Prof. w. S.
Peck. who has made ususual band
history in keeping the organization
together through so many years, dur
ing all Of which the general ability
to handle difficult compositions, has
grown from year to year until now,
it mas no PEER among the amateur
mEsical organizations Of the north
west. and but few equals among the
professional organizations touring the
country.
! Bright spGts in the program were
iane specials numbers by Garnett
Hedge, the noted tenor of BrooEings
Ecollege, Mrs. w. O. Gilruth of this
! city, soprano and Mrs. Edward Ever
EFT DETROIT of Watertown, reader.
Mr.. Hedge appeared twice, singing

bers were heartily encored. Mr.
Hedge also sang, with band accom-
paniment, the bands favorite parody
on '~4Tiprarary," TITS a Long, Long
Way to San Francisco" one aof the
lighter, yet much appreciated touches
Mr.. Hedges accompanist was Prof
William Schwartz.
Mrs. DeGroff rendered very excel
lentiy two spoken songs, Man Land
and "Dsrky Slumber Song" respond
ing chearfully to "a strong demand
for more. Mrs. GRruth sang Good
bye" with Miss Leuna S~chiiesmann at
the piano and Prof. w. j. Schlies
mann on the violin. The number
was especially pleasing.
The Feature number by the band
was a descriptive piece, &"The Death
of Custer" or 1.-THE Battle OF the
Little Big Horn a very difficult com,
position expressing a historical event
of especial interest to Dakotans. Be
fore the rendition of this number;
Judge Myers gave briefly an outline
of the events it lportrays. Nothing
the band has eve done evoked more
favorable comment. @f
Another number winning high
praise was the trsmbone sole. "Ceri

Pratt, tromboniSt, with band accom-.
panirnent. Other band numbers, each
of which drey hearty encores from
the large audience were the grand

The band was out in full strength.
many were the congratulations and
many the expressed hope that ar.
rangemsnts will be made for more
similar events.

No More Differences


Crookston. Minn.-Mr. and Mrs.
Henry Alpeter. who live in the town
ship OF Lowell, are in the city today.
They are good friends now, although
a few days ago it looked as if the
least that could happen was a lifelong
separation.
1t was like this: There is B hen on
the Apeter place-a shrewd and Sc
cretiye hen-who attempted to put
one over on Ma A1peter by hiding
her nest away in a. corner of the gran
airy. But true to the precepts of her
sex, Madame Hen was unable to keep
he secret for long. After she had
slowed away q nice big hat full of
luscious hen fruit in her secret de-
pository she could not refrain from
boasting about it and her vain and
~viciferons cackling attracted the at
tention OF the better half of the Al.
peter household, who at once started
on a pilgrimage of Investigation.
The granary door was locked. The
only other entrance was a window.
opening a little over a foot square,
in the side of the granary and about
four feet from the ground. But to-
Mrs. Alpeter it looked a little larger
than 1t really was and getting upon a
box she attempted to squeeze through
the opening and capture the prize
she could $ in the corner Of the
granary. #
The Plot Thickens.
But alas! Mrs. Alpeter in the ex-
element of the moment, forgot that
she did not possess the slight girlish
figure OF a few years ago. She got
through the opening part way, but
beyond that she could not go. Then
in disgust she attempted to abandon
the chase of the festive egg and back
out from whence she came. But this
She soon realized was equally impos-t
sible. She was stuck In the window,
half in and half out. Struggle as sheE
would she could not bulge an inch in
either direction.
Panic seized her and her cries for
help were long and lustys They must
have reached the ear of her husband,
who was peacefully riding q seeder a.
quarter of a. mile away. But they did
reach him and he thinks he smashed
sprinting records In the time
made toward home.

cOnsin Lumber Concern

| A new suit against the estate OF
William Deary in which Henry Tur-
rish, administrator, is the defendant
has been filed in the district court by
Attorney Frank L. Moore, attorney for
the plaintiff, Fred. N. Kehl of Wiscon-
sin. The suit is brought to enforce
payment of a promissory note in the
sum of $4,000 of which it is alleged
$219S.43 is still unpaid.
The new suit is a companion to the
suit filed a few days ago by the Kehl
& Deary company, corporation il
Wisconsin against Henry Turrish, ex-
ecutor of the estate of William Deary
in which the claim is set up that the
defendant, deceased, was indebted to
the company in the sum of $198,198.17
of which $4,000 was still unpaid.
According to the records in the case
the claims were presented in the
probate court during the period that
the estate of William Deary was be-
ing administered and that on February
of this year the claims were re-
jected by the probate court.
The complaint cites that the indebt-
edness in both suits were incurred
many years ago when Mr.. Deary was
in the lumber business IN
and prior to his coming to
Idaho. The deceased up to the time
Of his death was manager of the Pot
latch Lumber company and his widow

FRIENDLY SUIT
TEST VALIDITY OF LAW RESPECT
ING NORMAL SCHOOL EN-
DOWNMENT FUND
State Auditor Seeks Judicial Inter.
probation Before Cashing Warrant
on a Salary Claim

BOISE, Apr 16.-(SpeciaD To tes'
the law and learn whether 1915 claims
can be paid from money that accrued
! =; the state normal school endow-
Ihent fund in 1918 and 1914, the state
board of education has filed a petition
for an alternative writ of mandate
against State Auditor Huston, to di-
rect him to pay the salary oe G. a.
Axline, president of the Albion nor
NAL school for the month of January.
The writ was issued and made return
able May "a.
The suit is a friendly one. State
Auditor Huston refused to issue a
warrant to President Axline for his
salary during January of this year
in order that a ruling might be OBJ
tanned on the legal points involved
President Axline wanted his claim
paid out of the normal school endow-
ment fund. Mr. Huston takes the
position that no moneys can be paid
from that fund unless a specific APP
preparation has been made by the leg
islature authorizing such an expendi-
ture.
President Axline in his suit made
the claim that authority was given
for the payment of his claim by an
act of the legislature Of 1905 under
which the moneys accruing to the
state normal school fund were per-
petually appropriated, oDe-half to the
Albion normal school, and the other
half to the Lewiston normal.
