BOISE HONORS
UNIVERSITY MEN
PRESIDENT BRANNON, PROFESSOR
LEWIS AND PROFESSOR DRUCK-
Err GUESTS OF CLUB

That Idaho has just passed through
it's great pioneer stage and can now be
compared with a group of islands. sep
arated by gulf, each community being
interested in its own peculiar problems
and welfare and failing as a state in
the whole to have program for each
section and the betterment of all, was
the idea advanced in scholarly ad-
dress by DR.. M. A. Brannon, president
of the University of Idaho to a large
gathering of business men at the noon
day luncheon at the Boise Commercial
club rooms, says the Boise Capital
News.
DR.. Brannon pointed out that the
state of Idaho was diversified state,
that it's sections were different, that
the mining belts were of a different
character in different parts, that agri-
culture and horticulture were carried
on differently and while such was the
case it was necessary to have men
big enough and broad enough to get
together and map out a 50-year pro-
gram for the benefit of the entire
state.
In Idaho, he declared, a construct
i've program must be mapped out and
followed if the state is to advance and
grow because if the section feeling
grows up and thrives, it will strangle
business, hinder advancement and en-
slave it's citizens and also the children.
He then announced that the state board
of education had mapped out a plan
in education in Idaho for the next 10
years. He urged the citizens of Idaho
to get together and map out plan for
so years ahead with view in mind al
ways of a greater and more progress
sive Idaho.
An ovation was given DR.. Brannon
when he arose to speak and several
lines during his address he was in
errupted by prolonged applause.

"While liquidation continues liber-

available supplies are decreasing and
that a shortage Is developing with

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-There is a
tremendous subsurface move here to
preserve peace. All the moves are
wholly informal and every precaution
is taken for secrecy.
The neutral nations are attempting
to arrange a peace conference at
Madrid, at which something is ex-
pected to be done to protect the rights
of the smaller nations. Neutrals are
looking to the United States to de-
termine best how to prevent the ex-
tinction of international law. Hopes
are entertained that Germany may be
influenced to promise to regard the
rights of neutrals.
The United States is attempting to
modify the declaration of Austria In
regard to unrestricted summarizing,
thus hoping to avoid serious break
with that nation. 1t is expected that

as the average beef animal q year
ago.
"A very large production of the
steers are dressing only fifty-three
to ffty-eight per cent, anything Of
so per cent or over being scarce
Prices for COWS and heifers have also
been carried upward and so far as
veals are concerned, these are selling
at record prices. In fact last week
veals sold at rs cents per hundred
weight above the 1916 record.
"The cheaper grade OF cattle ad-
vanced even more than the better
kinds. Stockers and feeders were in
excellent demand, but since packers
were taking anything that has any
'kilP to it at all there ir not q great
deal available and good thousand
pound feeders are now quotable up
to 5000 per hundredweight- De-
mands made upon our supplies from
abroad are Of continued liberality,
with no diminution in home con-
sumption, we have made further
serious inroads upon our beef sup
plies and are daily cutting down our
potential beef makers in the steady
sacrifice practically regardless Of
their condition"
