The New Game Law.

Although the state game and fish
laws were revamped by the legisla-
ture, there were 20 radical changes,
according to Leroy Jones, state game
warden. However, 1t is going TO be
we'll for the Idaho sportsmen to study
the new measure carefully before
shouldering gun and whistlng to
the dog, because open seasons have
been altered and the limits on birds
and big game alike have been
changed. says the Statesman.
No change was made in the cost of
resident licenses and they will con-
tinue to sell at $l each, but the non
resident bird license was boosted from
So to So.
The bag limit on grouse was re-
duced from IL to six; on ducks from
"a to IL; on geese, from four to two;
on snipe from 1S to 6. In no instance
can the nimrod have more than the
! limit number OF birds 10 his posses.

DR.. BrannOn
On Superstition
Brief Review of His Lecture In
Rathdrum Last Friday.

The lecture on "Superstition"by
DIR. M. A. Brannon, president OF
the University Of Idaho, was heard
by fair sized audience at Frater-
nal hall last Friday evening. 1t
was the third number on the Rath-
drum lyceum course. The purpose
OF DR.. Brannon's lecture was to
encourage people to exercise their
minds in studying out the reasons
and causes of, and applying the
scientific remedy for, things and
happenings, ignorantly ascribed to
"luck", the '."evil spirit" the
moons phases, the "unlucky"
number, etc.
He told of mans advancement
through the stone age and the iron
age 10 the present age of energy"
He referred to the history of witch
craft in England and New England
a few hundred years back and
pointed out evidences of greater
enlightenment since that time. In
cidentally he made the assertion
that the Jewish, Catholic and
Mormon churches were casting out
the old superstitious beliefs.
Greater unity of thought and action
in the advancement of true ideas
and ideals was urged, and he spoke
in favor Of consolidation to secure
uniformity in education, govern
ment and religion.
Emphasis was placed on the
need of uniform education in the
growing OF food products and the
elimination Of ignorant ideas or
superstitious beliefs concerning
the culture and diseases of plants.
He said last summer he talked
with farmer and explained tn
him what caused smut in grain,
and the farmer would not believe
it, saying smut was caused by the
grain being sowed Gin the wrong
time OF the moon"
DR.. Brannon referred briefly To
the various influences, economic
and others, that tend to retard ad-
vancement in knowledge, such as
fear of antagonizing friends who
believe differently, or fear Of losing
position and being crushed by
interests that do not look kindly
on innovations or changes.
The lecture was plain talk,
without rhetorical nourshes and
almost devoid of appeal to the
emotions.

CHINESE TROOPS
EXPECTED At FRONT
INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE
WILL CONFER WITH CHINESE
OFFICIALS AT EARLY DATE.
PLAN FOR TWO DIVISIONS
Chinese Soldiers Would BE Used on
Second Line OF Trenches--Many
Chinese Have Attended French
Military Schools,

Washington.--An international com
mission, composed of representatives
of the entente powers and the United
States, will meet in Shanghai at an
early date to discuss details OF the
application of the concessions made
on the part of the powers and OF
China, in view Of the participation Of
China in the war.
1t Is understood that American min.
lister Reinsch will represent the United
States at the conference, and that the
other participants will be the minis
tiers of the allied countries. China, 1t
was learned today, has replied favora-
bly, to communication stating the al
lied desires and concessions.
The principal considerations are
said to be permission for China to in
crease import duties and to postpone
payment of the Boxer indemnity.
Unofficial advices received here are
to the effect that the French minister
to China has made proposal, which
had received the approval of the Paris
cabinet and the allies, respecting the
dispatch of Chinese military force
to France and which, 1t Is said. proba.
bly, will be accepted by the Chinese
ministry.
Roughly, the scheme is to send two
divisions of infantry to France, mum.
bering about $4,000 men. This force
will be put In the second line, to be
employed on lines of communication
and other work behind the front. It
will be equipped In France with all
necessaries not brought from China,
and can be put on duty almost imme-
diately on landing. 1t has been esti-
mated that there are between 200 and
300 officers In the Chinese army who
have been through the military schools
of France in the last ten years, and
with some French officers speaking
Chinese the language difficulty Is dis
posed of.
Every Chinese soldier sent to
France will release a French soldier
for the front.
