Topeka.

Rebel Cakes picks Denver. Topeka and
Wichita as the pennant contenders with
Omaha liable to butt in and make it a
four cornered affair. Also, Cakes says
that Joe Agler will be the second best
first baseman in the league-second only
to Rebel Shields.

However. the rivalry between Cakes and
Kruger does not lie entirely in the fact
that they both came from the same league.
Cakes claims Hellengone Parish, Louisi J.
ana the place of his nativity and Kruger
halls from Guinea Gulch, California, and
each believes that his own dear native state
is the only garden spot this side of
Paradise.

And, for the benefit of aforementioned
pessimists, il is a fact proved by statistics
that the majority of teams that win pen
nants excel in fielding more than in any
other thing. This is true in both the major
leagues and the minors.

Also, that the pessimists may not be-
come too pessimistic it might be worth
recalling that in the six games the Saw
ages have played, they have made only
one error. This would be a remarkable
thing any time. but at the beginning of the
season when team is not supposed to run
any too smoothly, it is most unusual.

1t might be added that one of the dis
tinctive characteristics of Cakes native
state is that it is fashionable there to
drink a cup of coffee every morning be

up the hill, for you have motive
power galore, you only lack the

where you're at. You may be
growing stale. The wind you'll
find is blowing right for those
who care to sail. So call your
self in on the rug and give your
self a talk, and say to your old
sleepy self, what right have you
to balk. It's time for you to do
a stunt, a something yet undone.
To face the world and hustle you
will find both work and fun. For

MOSCOW WINS
FROM OROFINO'
Local High SchG0l Team Piles Up
Score of 80 to 10 Against the Yis-
itOrS

| The Moscow high school skirmished
with OrOfino last night. The battle
ragged furiously from whistle to whis-
tie and Moscow's superiority was not
as great as the score would indicate.
When the smoke of battle had cleared
away, Moscow had captured 20 points,
and Orofno 10.
The game was replete with sensa-
tions all the way. De Bolt and Captain
Irwin of the Orofno team, who might
also we'll be called Mutt and Jeff, prov
ed that Orofino possesses something
besides lunatics. These two men did
all OF Orofino's scoring.
For Moscow the offensive work of
"Bnl' Carder and the defensive work
OF Hartman were distinct features,
although Captain Cornelison, Hunter
and Reeves did yeoman service. "Bill'
contributed six field goals to Moscow's
total while Hartman played a game
of guard par excellence.
Next week Moscow will play Ken
drick on Wednesday, and Nezperce on
Saturday Nezperce has yet to be de-
feated this year and are said to be
wonders. In Johnson, captain. they
have a forward who is easily "Varsity''

DIRECTOR JONES
MAKES A REPORT
ANNUAL STATEMENT OF THE AG-
RICULTURAL EXPERIMENT
STATION IS OUT
Gives Good Idea of Extent and Distri-
button of Experimental Work
Going ON

One of the most important and in
teresting bulletins published recently
by the university is the annual re-
port of the activities of the agricul-
tural experiment station during the
past year. This was issued by Direc-
tor Shirley Jones and is characterized
by completeness, clarity, and admir-
able arrangement.
The report which comprises AZ
pages has an excellent introduction
by Director Jones surveying the rela
ton of the experiment station to uni
versity organization, explaining the
financial support of the station, and
describing the publications, demon
strations, and department reports.
The other articles in the report are
an account of the animal husbandry
department by Dean E. ]. Iddings; of
the department of chemistry by Di-
rector Jones; of the department of
bacteriology by ]. ]. Putnum; of the
departments of plant physiology, hor-
ticulture ,and chemistry by G. L. Won
Ende, who, by special arrangement, is
listed among the staff of experiment
station workers; of the department of
dairying by e. V. Ellington; of the
department of farm crops by N. S.
Robb; of the department of horticul-
+,,,o ~, ~ U;noop+. Of ,,o,.1trv b11c-
bandry by Prem Moore; of soils by
P. P. Peterson; of the Aberdeen sub
station by L. C. Aicher; of the Cald

farm by O. D. Center; of the Gooding
sub-station by j. S. Welch; of the
Jerome sub-station by G. w. Dewey
of the Standpoint sub-station by F. H.
Lafrenz. The bulletin concludes with
financial tables making a statement
for the year ending July 1, 1915.
This bulletin gives a clear idea of
the extent of experimental work in
this state and of it's careful distribution
over the state. Such a variety of ex-
periments and such a division OF the |
state into districts provide body OF
facts which will be useful to all sec
tons of Idaho. The bulletins may be
obtained by application to the direc- !
tor of the station, and it is evident /
that the demand will be great as gen

SECRETARY OF WAR
HAS RESIGNED
DISAPPOINTED BECAUSE PRESI.
DENT WOULD NOT SUPPORT
CONTINENTAL ARMY
Resignation Was Complete Surprise in
WashingtOn-NOW in SeclusiOn in
New York
By the United Press Associations.

By the United Press Associations.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 11.-Secretry of
War Garrison, whose resignation from
the cabinet, was accepted last night,
is in seclusion here today. He was ta-
ken to the home of George Leary,
the dredging contractor Immediately
on his arrival from Washington. Mr..
Garrison refused to discuss his resigna-
tion, and parried all questions.
He resigned because President Will
son would not support the continental
army plan and because he opposed the
administrations program of setting a
definite time for Philippine independ-
ence.
President Wilson accepted the resig-
nation but mas not selected a success
sor. The president himself probably
will take personal charge Of the ad
ministration's national defense plans
in congress.
Assistant Secretary Breckenridge
also resigned as a mark of loyalty to
his chief, whose views he shared. The
president accepted his resignation.
Both take effect Immediately.
Major General Hugh l.. Scott, chief
of staff of the army, automatically be-
comes secretary of war ad interim.
Mr. Garrison's resignation was a
complete surprise to official Washing
ton generally. He made no personal
explanation. Several hours before the
official announcement he had board
ed train with his wife for New York
and word had been passed at the de-
indefinite stay.
The resignation of former Secretary
Garrison followed the receipt of a note
from the president directing him to
draw careful distinctions between his
individual views and the views of the
administration when speaking before
the national chamber of commerce.
President Wilson will name a demo-
cratic successor, and a dark horse
seems to be the probable choice. Cen
eral Scott's appointment is not to ex
ceed thirty days.

By the United Press Associations.
PORTLAND, Feb. 11.-Floods threat
ened Portland on two sides. A sudden
rise of the upper Columbia, due to
the breaking of an ice jam will back
up the Willamette, probably flooding
the water front streets.
Although the Willamette is falling
between Oregon City and Albany, new
rises are reported from Eugene and all
tributaries. Three thousand acres of
land in the Lents district are under wa
ter.
Small dykes keep the water from
Lents, and armed guards patrolled the
dykes last night because the Japa-
nese threaten to use dynamite to re-
lease the water from their homes. If
the dykes broke, Lents would be
flooded with seven feet of water.
The channel of the Columbia river is
filled with ice.

Birmingham and of the south generally.
| have met scores of friends, both men
and women, and had the time OF my
life. | never saw any strangers but
did not go for that business, just went
to meet friends and pass the top of the
morning with them. Troop A of Forest
Cavalry was certainly in it, 1 was led
by a young lady of Nashville whose
price was far above rubies, to-wit: Miss
Martha Hendly. | told her If | was
younger | would certainly set my cap
for her and when got her would con-
slider that | had a fortune. We went
to Birmingham 81 strong and don't
know was the proudest, Miss Hendly or
Troop A. We called her 'our girl" and
she called US "her boys" which we ap-
preciated very much and preferred her
kindly smile to any other honor. Her
maid, Miss Caroline Minton, was so
pretty that the boys of Birmingham
were almost crazy about her. | called
her the belle of reunioners" and our
chief, Mrs Lilly Jones, was beautiful
lady who filled her place with dignity
which did no violence to the troop. Our
first lieutendant, Gross, and our first
sergeant, c. H. Temple, certainly won
for themselves our highest esteem and
compliments. 1t was the time Of our
lives and no cold, icy formality was
allowed among US. We knew every
body and every body knew US. do not
mean personal names but they knew us
as soldiers and we knew them as friends.
| wasn't hunting strangers and did not
care to come in contact With cold, icy
hearted people. The following are the
names Of the beau tiful accomplished
ladies that went with the troop:
Misses Martha and Annie Hendly,
Caroline Minton, d. A. Dickey, Mrs.
Lilly Jones, and Mrs, A. A. Hardison.
These ladies certainly are worthy of
every consideration and were credit
to the troop, one of the most noted
military organizations of the south
Just here let me say, we want to re.
cruit our troop to one hundred with
men whose record as soldiers are above
impeacb ment and with men who will
get uniforms and be ready to march in
Washington next spring and | suggest
to our chief sponsor that she select
from her chapter twelve young ladies
as maids of honor who will not be too
proud to don the home made dress and
palm hat and go with the troop when
they parade the streets of Washington.

beside the old grey jacket and if we
are proud of the grey why not be proud
of the home spun dress? But shall
claim the right to nominate a couple
from my adopted home, Warren county
or Grundy, and l will say further, the
home spun dress demands as much re-
spect and honor as the old grey jacket,
because it will represent the heroines
OF the south.
l am sending to our 1st orderly
sergeant package of the News hoping
the troop and the D. U. C. V. will ac-
cept the paper as a medium thru which
any OF them can express themselves in
