LATAH WINNERS TO
INTERSTATE FAIR
BOYS AND GIRLS TO SPEND WEEK
IN SPOKANE WITH EX-
PENSES PAID
L. w. Porter, State Club Leader, In
County Selecting Agricultural
Champions

Boys and girls of Latah county who
are interested in the agricultural clubs
sponsored by the extension department
of the University of Idaho will have an
opportunity to visit the Interstate fair
at Spokane next month with all ex-
penses paid, excepting railroad fare, if
their gardens come up to a standard
which will insure them winning a prize
in the Latah County Fair, September
1928.
T. w. Porter, state club leader, OF
Boise, is in the city today going over
the gardens of the local club members
with a view to ascertaining which of
the youthful agriculturists shall be
honored with the visit to the Spokane
fair. Ordinarily these honors are dis
tributed to the winners in the county
fairs, but the Interstate fair will be
held before the Latah County Fair
and such procedure would be I'M
possible, so the committees, headed by
Mr.. Porter, who works with local club
advisors, is taking a canvas of all
counties where fairs are to be held af-
ter the Spokane exhibition, September
4-9.
An encampment of the county cham
pions and their club advisors and the
state demonstrators will be held dur
ing fair week in Spokane. From all
the exhibits prepared by the county
champions prizes winners of the diff
ferent states will be chosen. In addi-
ton to the exhibits contestants must
show records of their crops, the ex-
penses and profits, etc.
Girls who take part will occupy
rooms at the Spokane Y. w. c. A., and
will be properly chaperoned at all
times, while boys will occupy tents on
the fair grounds and will be under the
supervision of the Y. M. c. A., the
county club leaders and the county ag-
riculturists.
will be given over to lectures by dem
onstrators from both the Washington
state college and the University of Ida
no. The afternoons will be spent in
amusement.
Only the boys and girls whose crops
at the present time justify Mr.. Porter
in believing they will take prizes at
the Latah County Fair will be eligible
to attend the Spokane fair at the ex-
pense Of the Interstate Fair associa-
tion.
Mr.. Porter is pleased with the work
of the boys with whom he visited
while here this morning. He went
to the northern part of the county
this afternoon to visit members of the
clubs in that section. He is making
collection of pictures of the gar
dens and animals raised by the boys !
and girls of the state which are be-
ing published from time to time in the
of the state.

JAPAN TO BUILD
ENORMOUS NAVY

Announced That Imperial Government
VIII Spend $15O,OOO,OOO For New
Fighting Craft PLAN to Build Ships
For Seven Years to Come
By the United Press Associations.
TOXIC, Aug. 17.-Japan plans to i'm
prove her navy as fast or faster thar
does the United States build up it's sea
fighting machine. At least, that is the
deduction made by the Japanese peo-
pie from the just announced plan to
spend 254,000,000 to 310,000,000 yen
building new battleships in the next
seven years.
Exactly what the plan under consid-
Grafton by the finance department OF
the government is, nobody knows, but
according to the paper Jill, usually a
we'll informed publication, the outlay
for the the ideal fleet" calls for about
$150,000,000. Other papers estimates
are bit lower.
A hot debate on the program is ex-
pected at the forthcoming session of
the Diet because of the expense in
volved. The program is backed by
navy leaders and also, it is said, by
the ministers of marine and finance.
Newspaper reports have it that ia
pan proposes to build three super
dreadnoughts, two battleships, eleven
ov1d
many U-boats.
