500 CARLOADS OF FRUIT LOST

Five hundred cars of applies in
southern Idaho have been rendered
unfit for use in the green state be-
cause of the severe cold weather,
Guy Graham, state horticultural in
spector, announced Friday.
Much of the frost-bitten fruit is
being shipped to the driers in the
Payette and Boise valleys, but all
cannot be saved in that way because
of the car shortage.
The loss in the Payette valley will
total 800 cars, the inspector says.
In the Blackfoot district all Of the
fruit that was on the trees when the
hard freeze came in October was
ruined
Fruit growers in the Twin Falls
district lost 100 cars. About one
third of the total crop was injured
by the freeze. There the tempera-
ture dropped to four above. In the
Blackfoot district it was even colder.
Heavy Loss of Potatoes
A correspondent, writing to the
inspector from Blackfoot, fixes the
loss to the potato crop in the ground
when the freeze came at 40 per
cent, while in the Idaho Falls dis
trict so per cent of the potato crop
in the ground was lost, he said.
Graham has visited all Of the ap-

FORMER BOISE GIRL TO FRANCE
Miss Mary Dawson Sails With Red
Gross Unit for Battle Front

Mrs. Henry Smalley sends the fol-
lowing account taken from Chi
cago paper, of former Boise girl,
who is now en- route to France to
act as Red Cross secretary. Miss
Dawson made her home in Boise
when her father. Major Dawson, was
stationed here in charge of the ma
tional guard and later lived here
with her mother and brothers:
"All of the brave soldiers are not
boys, for we know girl who, when
her brothers went into the service,
refused to be left out Of it, and cast
about to find way in which she
also could help at the front.
"Her name is Miss Mary Dawson,
only daughter of Mrs. Caroline
Shannon Dawson of 449 lakewood
boulevard-pretty, quantity gracious
and uncommonly clever.
with all these assets there was
lacking only the opportunity to
make them count in serving her
country, and the young lady per-
severed in her search until 1t was
found, and on last Saturday she sail
ed with other patriotic young
American women on the ship that
is carrying them to France.
Qualities as Secretary
miss Dawson qualified as sec
rotary, and thru the recommends
ton Of former Senator Elihu Root,
an old friend of the family, Henry
P. Dawson, head of the American
Red Cross, assigned her to the COM

pie growing districts in southwest
ern Idaho within the last two weeks.
He insists that the demand for cars
must be filled by the railroads II a
greater loss is to be prevented.
He reports growers in the Payette
valley as having filled barns, cellars,
chicken houses and sheds with ap-
ples-and more apples are yet to be
stored.
Burying Apples i'm Pits
The warehouses are full to over
flowing and still the fruit Is being
rolled in. The growers are seeking
to save all the apples possible in
the hope that the railroad will be
able to furnish them the necessary
cars before the severe cold weather
comes. In some localities the grow
ers are putting their apples in pits
and covering them with straw and
dirt. ~
Graham blames the Oregon Short
Line for failing to advise growers
that cars would not be available for
the movement Of the apple crop.
Had the growers known that
they could not ship, much of the
fruit would not have been picked
and q considerable saving would
have resulted In labor bills" is the
way he put It.
There is certain to be shortage
In Winesaps, Ganos, Ben Davis and
partial shortage in Rome Beauties
and Jonathans because of the Freeze,
the inspector says, because the late
varieties were still on the trees
when temperatures dropped"

son of the American league said to-

The Case Of the Two Sox.

Against amy other team but the Red
SoX the present advantage of the
White SoX might be interpreted as
final. The Red SoX are slightly diff
fercnt from any other club in base
ball. They play the game of their
lives when real importance attaches
to victory.
But ii would seem that Boston's
only hope is to make the best use of
its pitchers in the approaching final
series between the two Sox. Chicago
has been far more successful at home
than on the road to date. Yet, Bos-
ton need look for little assistance
from the other three eastern cities In
Cleveland and Detroit two hard series
are bound to confront the worlds
are finding softer game on this end
of the circuit
Smart baseball managers declare
that Boston is not playing nearly so
effectively as one year ago. This may
be due to the general decline that IS
bound to hit the best clubs in the end.
The cast of the worlds champions is
much the same as that which won a
pennant and greater title In 1872.
Speaker, Wagner, Stahl and Carrigan
have gone. Seven years is a long time

If Boston can win its third consecu-
tive pennant it Will have accomplished
a great deal more than any modern
team. with the exception of Connie
Mack's Athletic of 191O-19l4.

Labor Day Important Race

Labor day has come to be regarded
as one OF the most critical points of
the major league campaigns. 4 team
that Is not out in front or within q
jump or two of the leader at this time
Of the year. might as well begin to
calculate on the next capaign.
With very few exceptions for many
years past the team that showed the
way after Labor days games has
maintained its advantage to the end.
Brooklyn Of last year was an eXcep-
ton. but Brooklyn then was practically
in tie for the honor. The sensational
squirt of the Braves, when they came
from nowhere in 1914, carried them in
TO a tie with the Giants for first place
the Saturday before Labor day. And
on Labor day that year they divided the
two games with team which q month
before had enjoyed about ten games
advantage.

From an artistic standpoint the
championship races of the two major
leagues leave something to be desired.
The great American public has been
educated of late years to expect keen
and gruelling struggles. with two or
more clubs involved. right down to the
bitter finish This served to keep the
appetite keyed for the lust of the
greater battle as represented In the
annual worlds championship classic.
Unfortunately this year the shank OF
the campaign holds out little promise
for excitement the rest of the way. To
all intents and purposes the Giants are
home and all doled up for the big
'houscwarming' In the American
league only two teams figure now, and
Of the two the worlds champion Red
SoX do not appear so hale and hearty
as a serious contender should at this
late stage Of the struggle.
Amid the arguments that are being
waged pro and con ca baseball fan
never gives up while there is the
slightest flicker of hope. II is well to
turn back history's pages one brief
year and see how the major league
races framed up. Fifty-two weeks ago
