The entry of Rumania into the

YECCS Get CASH,
LOOT TWO BANKS
Robbers in Auto Blow Safes at Homer,
ILL.,, and Escape With $4,000
Booty.

Danville, Ill, Aug. ga gang of
cracksmen, six in number, in a high
powered automobile, drove into Homer
ILL.,, II miles west of here, at 1890 this
morning, blew the safes in two banks,
got $4,000 in cash and made their es-
cape, all in half hours time.
The Raynor and Babb bank lost S.
500 and the Citizens bank $4,000. 1t
was necessary for the banks to have
money shipped in from Danville and
Chicago this morning before they could
open for business. One dollar was left
in the vaults at Raynor bank, while
$50 in cash was picked up in front of
the other bank after the robbery was
discovered.
The gang cut all wires except that
of the interurban line, which were
overlooked, otherwise it would not have
been possible for Homer people to get
in communication with outside cities
and spread the alarm.
1t was evident that the plans for the
robbery had been we'll laid. as the
two explosions were simultaneous. the
doors being blown off in each instance.
The explosion did not awaken the town,
only two or three people having heard
it, and but one man saw the robbers
making their getaway with the booty.
The car went in a westerly direction
and came from the east at midnight.
The postmaster at Homer had placed
all the government money he had on
hand in the Citizens bank last night
and the town was absolutely without
money until the arrival of a supply
from Danville after the banks here had
opened.
Chicago, Aug 29-Detectives guard
ed all railroads and roads leading into
Chicago today in hunt for the safe
blowers who dynamited two banks at
Homer. ILL., Police believe the robbery
was committed by Chicago men.

$4,000, 900, from his money.
The records and letters were obtain

employees in actual interstate
transportation.
To empower the federal board
of mediation to fully investigate
operation OF an eight-hOur day ON
railroads.
To empower the interstate COM
meree commission TO consider the

plOyes.
A measure empowering the pres
fdent to operate trains with the
primary object of providing the
American troops ON the Mexican

81 think that the whole country will
feel" said President Wilson, that this
congress has accomplished very re-
markable part of the program of ma
tional defense. This bill that / have
signed for the army is merely the ap-
preparation bill. 1t is not the bill by
which we reorganized the army, of
course you understand; but it does
carry with it a very much needed revi-
sion of the articles of war, and it does
mean that the finances of the nation
are to stand behind the reorganization
of the army and its use for adequate
national defense.
THE navy bill is a very remark
able measure Never before by one
single act of legislation has so much
been done for the creation of an ade-
quate defense"

Potatoes.
1t is too early to make any positive
statement as to the general potato
market for this season. Reports on
hand in this office from the various
potato districts of the state indicate
that the tonnage for shipment will be
about the same as last year. The 1915
shipments totaled about $500 cars,
while in 1914 we shipped over 5000
cars. Present indications are that the
quality of the 1916 crop in Idaho will
be considerably better than last year,
but there is still quite danger from
frost damage this year.
l also want to take this opportunity
to repeat the warning given to potato
growers by this office last year, as to
the unreliability of the government
crop estimates on potatoes. Last year
this department had the satisfaction of
saving the growers many thousands of
dollars by advertising the worthless
ness of the federal potato crop esti-
mates and the tactics of certain specu-
lative buyers in the principal potato
AAoeA ASto III hoih6 tAitoG LIZ III CO. nC
August 18th crop report of the bureau
of crop estimates is almost as ridicu-
lous as were its figures for last year.
The federal bureau is now claiming an
increase of $4,000 bushels in the Ida
no potato crop this year, as compared
with last-an increase of practically
OnefOurth, which is of course absurd.
Don't be misled. If the potato grow
ers will hang together there seems at
this writing no reason why they
should not realize better prices, on
the average, than last season. Re-
ports received from those sections of
the country whose potatoes come into
competition with ours offer much en-
couragement for Idaho growers. Grow
ers will be kept advised as the market
develops.
The government crop report for Au-
gust contains one statement to which
l would particularly like to call the at
tention of growers. 1t reads as fol-
lows: Later in the season the bureau
Of crop estimates will estimate FOR
THE FIRST TIME the production of
potatoes in the United States classified
by times of harvesting and disposing
Of the crop, so as to show what por-
ton of the crop is early potatoes and
what portion is late"
This is the first crop reporting VIC
tory in sight for potato growers of
Idaho, in the fight have been waging
for the past four years against the
system which has been unjustly used
for so many years-the Jumping of
both the southern early and northern
late potatoes together in making the
crop estimates. Similar protests have
been sent to Washington during the
past year or two by others in this
state, particularly by the management
of the Southern Idaho Producers asso-
citation, which is deserving of special
mention and the appreciation of all
potato growers for the valiant SER
vice it has rendered them in this con-
nection
