Hoaxed the Naturalist.

One of the most remarkable books
ever published is the "Lithographla
Wirceburgensis," written by Wurz-
burg naturalist named Behringer III
1926. Probably very few copies are IN
existence, as the author destroyed all
that he could get possession OF soon
after the book appeared. He had been
victimized by some practical JoKers'
who had made great variety of arti-
ficial fossils and hidden them in a
quarry, to which they then enticed the
professor. Behringer was overJoyed
by SO rich find and had no suspicion
of the trick, although many of the los
sils were of very grotesque chafac-
fer. He took his treasures home, MADE
elaborate drawings of them and wrote
a minute description of each, as Wen
as an exhaustive commentary nlieu
with ingenious and plausible theories
When he had published the book the
iokers confessed, and then. of course
the professor did his utmost TO sup
press the work.

WHEAT WILL REMAIN HIGH
Opinion of State Director of Farm
Markets, Scholtz.

Boise. Few Idaho farmers
stand to lose money because of the
crop IN the price of wheat as a
result of the peace talk in Europe,
according to G. w. Scholtz, state
director of the farm markets bureau.
Scholtz says little of the 1916
wheat crop produced in this state
remains unsold. The bureau
advised farmers weeks ago to sell
their grain when the price went up
10 81 a hundred. The majority of
the farmers sold at that price or
better. Some have held their wheat
on gamble that the price would
60 to S2:5o.
Idaho produced more than II,
900, 900 bushels of wheat last
season. Practically all of the grain
was sold at 81 hundred or more.
Scholtz is advising the farmers
who did not sell when tie market
was up to hold on to their grain
until prices haze again advanced.
He terms the present drop as a
"hurry" which is sure to pass in a
short time, when prices will be-
come steady and as high as at any
time this year.-Idaho Statesman.

A Poor Press Agent.

Max 0'Rell was exceedingly popular
as a lecturer, and the way in which
his mother viewed the suggestion that
her son should take to the platform Is
worth repetition. She wrote to him
from the native village which she had
never left for more than day to say
that she did not think appearing before
audiences to be reputable business, and
when he replied that he had decided to
do it and had signed contract to that
effect the dear old lady wrote back
that she was "still" his loving mother
and that she would tell no one in the
village about it.
