CREAMERY COM.
MITTEE SPEAKS
Explains ! VIZ Creamery is a
Good This for the Com
nnunity and Asks Support
of Everyone.

To the Stockholders and Pros
pective Patrons of the Co-opera-
tive Creamery:
1t has been resolved that we,
the undersigned members of the
committee for the organization of
the cooperative creamery say a
few words of encouragement
to this new enterprise. AS SO
much has been done and said to
create a feeling of dissatisfac-
ton among the subscribers by
competitors (and people who
have motive in protecting their
own interests only) we believe
that by hearty cooperation and
by sticking together as one man
we are going to make it a sue
cess and that a successful cream
cry here will mean more diversi-
fled farming and this will i'm
prove our land and make it more
valuable. We know that the
success of the new creamery de-
pends upon the patronage of the
same and the development of our
herds will follow, and if we have
accomplished this we have made
a success for the country and for
the town.
1t is true there are some cream
cries that have failed, not only
here in the west but also in the
east, but is not this the same
with some other business or even
the farm. Some farmers are
even unsuccessful and how many
business man fails because he
lacks confidence in his own bust
ness. When we started the
work of organizing a creamery
we fully considered every advan-
tage and disadvantage and have
acted in the best of faith for our
country and town and we feel
that we are going to succeed by
sticking together and will always
do all we can to make good let
US all be boosters now and put
our shoulders to the wheel to
help good thing along.
Thanking all those who have
helped to create the organiza-
tion of this new enterprise and
wishing the best of success to
the same, we beg to remain,
Sincerely,
JOHN HoENE,
W. B. HUssMAN,
FELIX MARTZEN.

Is The Wrong Man

The following appeared in
Tuesdays Tribune. Matt Fuchs
will be remembered by Idaho
county people as a former resi-
dent Of Cottonwood, Inaho:
Bert Alligier, young man re-
siding in the Lapwai section, yes
terday instituted proceedings
through his attorney, J. L. Harm,
in which he alleged he is the VIC
tim of a conspiracy in which JUS
tice Matt Fuchs and wife, of
Lapwai are the chief conspira-
tors. Alligier alleges he was ar
rested upon a warrant issued as
the instance of Justice Fuchs,
was taken before the justice
where he was denied a trial or
change of venue but was SEN
fenced to pay a fine of $40 and
costs, amounting in all to SPLIT
Alligier alleges that he rented
a small tract of land from Fuchs
last fall, the agreement being
that he should plough the land
this spring as payment for the
use of the tract as pasture. He
claims the land was ploughed
last week in compliance with this
agreement and was given notice
last Saturday night he should re-
move a wagon and buggy Monday
and his arrest was brought about
because he opened a gate to re-
move the vehicles.
Aliigier further alleges that
when he was taken before JUS
tice Fuchs, he was denied a
change of venue and when he
demanded a trial, he was threat
ened with violence, Justice Fuchs
replying that he was fully in
formed as to the facts of the case
and needed no evidence before
rendering a judgment.
Aligier. was brought to the
county Jail yesterday afternoon
and committed to the custody of
Sheriff Harry Lydon. He i'm
mediately secured the services of |
an attorney and effort will be |
made to secure his release today. |
Press.
The Chronicle fears the Free
Press editor has jumped at con-
clusions, owing to the similarity |
of names, in crediting the above |
to M. F. Fuchs, formerly of this
place. Mr.. Fuchs is farming |
near Slickpoo, some IL or Is miles
from Lapwai, and is not a justice |
of the peace in that county. The
party referred to has been justice |
at Lapwai for a number of years
and his name is properly Matt
Fuhs-not Fuc his. We cor
rect the item in justice to our
former townsman, who still re-
tains many warm friends here.

NEW ORLEANS
 MARKET DECLINES
July Displays More Strength Than Any Other
 Month

New Orleans. June 27.-After a small rise around the opening today the cot ton market developed soft feeling ant, values fell off for a net decline. The chief depressing influence was the re- port from New York that July notices were not well received. July here dis played more strength than and other month on the boards, going to net de- cline in begrudging manner and clos ing at net loss of point. while oth CT months showed net losses of to 2 points.
 Around the opening the tone was steady and prices advanced 5 to points on buying based on good cables and scattered showers over the belt Later the advance amounted to to s points, but here the market commenced to meet increased offerings as the re- suit of the advices from New York regarding July tenders. There was a gradual sag until late in the afternoon. Prominent months were to points under yesterdays close.
 Some offerings of long account in preparation for shipping movement was apparently based on the coming gov ernment report. This was induced probably on growing uncertainty over the figures exhibited to June 25.

Why Not Eat Insects

From the New ork American.
 There is certainly one excellent reason why we should eat insects and that Is sef-defense It is simply question of Do it first for if we don't eat or oth- erwise exterminate them they will dc
 their best to eat us. From the equator
 to the Arctic circle the battle is on be-
 tween bugs and bipeds, men and mos-
 quitoes, humans and insects, and there is
 said to be grave doubt of the final issue
 in the massive minds of morphologists,
 which think in terms of continents and
 cons, whether this present geological pe-
 riod will in future be known as the age
 of man or the age of insects.
 However, we are holding our own so
 far and perhaps little better, for there
 doesn't seem to be any more insects than
 formerly, and there certainly are more
 humans-or were until the present war
 broke out. But what with hookworms within and cutworms without, and grass hoppers and army worms, and boil weevils on the cotton and browntails on the shade trees, and worms and mosqui- toes with their malaria and yellow fever, and the tsetse fly with his sleeping sick ness, and the flea with his black death,
 and the louse with his typhoid, to say nothing of bees in our bonnets and the coleoptera that drive us playhouse, life is simply lodging one d-d bug after an- other.'
 So that if we have to kill them any way, there would be a sense of satisfac- tion and neatness, not to say economy and consuming our own smoke, in being able to use them for food afterward But we don't, and why don't we? Dr. Howard, the distinguished head of the United States bureau of entomology at Washington, has recently raised the question in practical form. He dug ur and collected a pint or so of fat, juicy white worms" the grubs or larvae of the cicada or 17year locust, sent them with his compliments to the chief cook of the bureau of home economies, who has steady nerves and none of the tenn perament which marks the born chef, and has become accustomed to having ex- periments sprung on him. This shock proof expert waved his magic culinary wand over the grubs and transformed them into rich and appetizing bisque or puree, which was returned to Dr Howard, who, summoning up his biologic courage. drank a cupful of the soup, pro- nounced it excellent tried it on one o1 his most docile assistants, and both sur. vived.
 '! There is. of course, no reason whatever | why we should not eat insects if they are wholesome, nutritious and available

JULY NOTICES MAKE COTTON NERVOUS
Market Breaks Twenty One Points in New
 York.

New York, June 27-The cotton market was nervous and unsettled today owing to the circulation of July notices which were estimated at between 20,oo0 and 50, 000 bales. July broke to 12.90c, or 2l points under last nights closing price, while October sold off to 12.32c or F points net lower, closing at 13.15c. The general list closed steady at a net decline of to. 16 points.
 Liverpool was better than due, but the opening here was irregular owing to near month liquidation with first prices 5 points lower to 2 points higher. Spot houses were bidding for good lots of July on the call, while early estimates placed the notices at less than 150O0 bales and prices steadied up right after the opening with the active months selling about to s points net higher during the first few minutes. Liverpool was a seller, however, while reports from the street indicated that more notices were in circulation than anticipated and the market soon turned easier.
 Selling of new crop months was re- stricted by the continued unsettled weather east of the river and reports of heavy rains in some sections of Okla homa, while offerings of July were pretty well absorbed by the continued buying of spot interests.
 Closing prices showed moderate ral- lies, while there also may have been some scattered buying for a reaction, on theory that July liquidation oyer the market would do better on a stronger technical position. Private advices at tributed the relatively steady cables to some stradde buying against which sales were probably made here during the early trading. Nervousness over Mexican affairs and on reports of renewed sub marine activity may possibly have &C., counted for some scattering liquidation

UPWARD TREND IN
 THE STOCK MARKET
Higher Freight Rates Send Prices Upward-Copper
 Dividends

New York, June 27.-The stock market experienced a general upward revision of prices today, albeit the Mexican situation seemed to have lost none of it's threaten ing aspects. Recoveries which were con- siderably shaded in the final hour, were attributed in part to the oversold con- dition of recent days as well to causes of less technical nature
 Among the helpful factors were the ac tion of the interstate commerce commits sion, which in essence granted materially higher freight rates to transcontnental roads, increased copper dividends and an extra for Central Leather, additional gratifying railway earnings, new high mark for the countrys export and an- other large importation of British gold, increasing the total from that source to $11O,0O0,00O.
 Reading and United States Steel lead the movement in representative stocks, the former recovering 21a points of it's loss the preceding day while steel made an extreme rise of points from it's mini mum of the opening. The strength of these issues went far toward restoring speculative confidence.
 Crucible steel was the conspicuous fea- ture of war stocks at its best showing gain of points, while allied industrials and equipments ranged 2 to points higher Coppers were naturally st1mu- lated by the larger disbursements to shar eholders, Anaconda gaining SAC and motors responded in like measure.
 Mexican Petroleum and other oils were firm in the forenoon, but lost ground later, the former showing a net loss of point on heavy selling at the close. A half score of miscellaneous issues, In cluding United States Industrial Alcohol and shipping shares, recorded variable but substantial gains during the inter mediate session. Total sales of stocks amounted to 535000 shares. Union Pacific showed net gain for May of $1, 900 and various southern and southwestern lines reported increased over the corresponding month of last year.
 Foreign exchange was marked by con- trasting movements sterling being strong with heaviness in marks. Bonds were irregular with slight heavi- ness in Canadian issues. Total sales par value) $2, 2,790,00o.
 United States bonds were unchanged on call.

Avery's Letter

Notices aggregating 10000 on July ontracts in New York rather put a crimp into the early strength, which was due to the strength in Liverpool and weather conditions which were caled unfavorable.
 The Journal of Commerce, in the first of its monthly summaries, men tions too much rain and grass in the Carolinas. Season two to three weeks late. Says Georgia conditions are mixed Also complaints of grass and late sea- son.
 Spots were firm at unchanged prices in practically all markets. Exports for the day were around 2S.000.
 Now that the establishments of the first notice day is out of the way the next influence will be the acreage and condition report on July 1st. as of a date of June 18th.
 The government should show about 10 per cent. increase in acreage, which, on the basis of their revised figures, would be around 35.332.412 acres. A 121s per cent. increase, as predicted by the Chronicle based on the govern ment's figures, would be 36,120,375. If based. on the Chronicles last year S figures it would be S9,617,271.
 Look for narrow market previous to the government report. If it works higher look for a break on the condi-
 
 crease in acreage as fairly we'll dis counted. c. F. AVERY.
 Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter New York, Juen 27.-Special.-Tender were made today on July contracts, largely of cotton which has been held here for some time by houses who usually execute orders for German ac- counts. That any such interest should tender cotton was unexplainable to the outside holders of July, as most of them expected a July squeeze. though why they should is not quite clear. Enough liquidation followed on what the trade thought was good weather to carry the market down, causing the loss of con fidence among those who have been bullish for long time.
 As a rule the market is apt to inn prove after tenders have been made and at the close there was some buying on this idea.
 Liverpool expects higher rates of freight again and has been selling here on arbitrage purchases.

in sufficient amounts at a reasonable price, The only obstacle in the way is our inherited traditions and antiquities.
 Dr. Howard has performed real ser- vice in starting to test out the question again upon a purely rational and scien- tific basis, and it is certainly well worth while giving fair and impartial trial by economists, dieticians and cooks to every form of insect life which is claimed to be nutritious and can be secured al low price in sufficient amounts.
