Brazil Revokes
Her Neutrality;
Now German Foe
Sinking Of Ships Causes
Alignment on Side of
u. S. and Allies

Rio de Jareiro. June 2s.-Brazil has
revoked her decree of neutrality in the
war between the Entente Allies and
Germany.
Brazil is no longer a neutral in the
world war. and the German Empire has
another enemy arrayed against it.
Having previously revoked its policy of
aloofness, so far as it affected the hos
tilites between the United States and
Germany, Brazil has now come def
nitely into the open and announced
that it can no longer be considered
neutral in the war between the Entente
and Germany.
Although no announcement has been
vouchssfed as TO whether the South
American republic will actually enter
into hostilities b. its revocation Of
neutrality, it definitely aligns itself
morally on the side of the United
States and the Entente.
Climax Reached in April
I Trouble between Brazil and Germany
reached climax in April, when the
Brazilian steamer Parana was torpe-
doed. The German minister received
his passports and anti-German riots
broke out in several cities. Later
forty-six German ships, aggregating
/ 100000 tons, were seized in Brazilian
ports.
Territorially. Brazil is the fifth
largest country in the world, with a
population of 25,OOOOO0 The nation
could put 100000 soldiers in the field.
Her navy possesses two modern super
dreadnoughts and is manned by $4,000
men.
On May % the lower house Of the
Brazilian Congress authorized by a
vote OF 1876 20 2. The revocation Of Bra
zil's neutrality in the war between
Germany and the United States. Three
days later the Senate confirmed the
measure by vote Of AZ TO !. instruct
ing President Braz 70 take what meas
urcs he deemed necessary.
Swsyed by United States
In notifying the Brazilian legations,
Foreign Minister Nulo Pecanha dis
patched note saying that Brazil up
10 that time had refrancd from taking
sides in the European conflict, but that
the republic could not remain indiffer-
ent from the moment the United States
found itself involved in a struggle for
the rights OF the people and when Ger
many meted out unfortunately to
Brazil the most brutal treatment.

TO LECTURE HERE

Kate Richards O'Hare viii give
a lecture in the Emma Theatre on
the afternoon of Sunday, July Sth.
at o'clock. COME.
Mrs O'Hare has had a singular
ly wide experience. Born on Kan
sas ranch, her childhood was spent
on the broad prairies of that state,
and her eminently practical and re-
sourceful nature is, no doubt, due
TO her early environments. She at
tended Pawnee Academy in Nebras-
ka, and become a country school
teacher Then moving to Kansas
City, where her father had estab-
lished a small manufacturing busi
ness, she learned the machinists'
trade, serving the requisite four
years, and finally being admitted
to the international Association Of
Machinists-the first woman to have
that distinction. In contact with
city problems. she threw herself in
to the work for the bettarment of
humanity through church work and
rescue mission work; this and her
later newspaper experience gave her
thorough understanding Of the social
problems that spring up in every
community.
She essayed her first public plat
form work shortly after her gadu-
alton from high school. She was en-
gagged in Evangelistic work with the
Christian Church and with the Chris
tian Endeavor Society and organic
ed the first Epworth Leagues that
were established in Western Kansas.
AS Interstate Secretary for Kansas,
Nebraska, Missouri and Iowa, while
still a young girl, she organized BRAN
ches of the Junior Temperance Lea
que ITO her work in this movement
is due her intimate knowledge of the
actual working of prohibition laws.
While in Kansas City she became
associated with the Florence Criten-
den Rescue Mission work, which
brought her in close contact with
the problems arising out of thei
social evil, and the various means
that have been attempted for the
relief of such conditions.

BURNS BIG BARN

Pete Genoway's big barn burned to
the ground last Tuesday morning
about 2:3O O'Clock The fire was first
discovered by Mrs. Elizabeth Hutch
inson after it was well under way.
She called d. B. Coats who turned
in the alarm The sounding Of the
fire bell brought out the fire com
pany in quick time, but the fire
was too far from the water mains
for them to be of any assistance, and
in few minutes the building was
in smoldering ruins. 1t was an unfort-
unate affair, and yet fortunate
after all, for there was no stock in
the barn at the time Mr. Genoway
has two very valuable horses that
are usually kept in the barn. but
the morning before had gone out
in the country, taking them with
him, and was away at the time.
How the fire originated, is a mys-
terry as no one was in the barn dur
ing the day. and the doors We're
locked From the appearance the fir'
started from the inside The build
ng was fully insured.

TO BUILD AT ONCE

The contract for the erection of
the Idaho Products Company's com
bined fruit packing, drying and stor-
age plant was let to Mr.. J. p. Wal
ker. the Payette contractor. Mr..
James Carico also of Payette was
awarded the contract for ths excava-
tion Of the basement, and has start
ed operation.
This plant will be one of the
largest if net the largest in the state
and will be modern in every way.
The packing department will be
spacious and sanitary with plenty OF
light and good ventilation and will
be equipped with the most modern
machinery necessary for the speedy
and proper handling OF fruits and
produce No pains will be spared to
have this department conducted in
such a manner that be to the best
convenience of the packers and grow
ers.
The storage department will have
a large storage capacity for apples
also potatoes, onions, celery and
other produce Cash will be paid for
these vegetables by the Idaho Pro
ducts Company.
The drying department will be a
plant so #. by 100 IT. With dry
ing capacity FF "a tunnels each or
,65 tons each charge. This dryer is
-gf the very latnst pattern and can
not help but prove a very valuable
asset to the growers of the Payette
Valley
If each prune growing district was
equipped with a good dryer it would
solve the problem of poor prices and
keep the green prune market from
becoming demoralized, which results
in the prune grower getting his re-
turns in the red instead of money
It was not the intention this sea-
son for the Payette branch of the
Idaho Products Company to enter
into the retail fruit material busi-
ness owing to lack of warehouse
room necessary to conduct such bust
ness. but will in the future do a
general business in this line.
We have however made ample pro
vision for material to take care of
all the business the Payette plant
will require and will so far as our
facilities will allow us, will supply
the independent growers with pack
ing material at the lowest possible
price.

BIG SUCCESS

So far the Chautauqua has been q
roaring success. The large crowds
that attend each day are increasing
Wednesday evening many were com.
PEELED to stand for want of seating
capacity Over two hundred automo-
biles were parked along the street,
and over two thousand were in at
tendance. The morning and aafter
neon programs also draw big audi
ences, ard the best is yet to come.
The Chautauqua may take money
out of the country, but they leave
something in return. The lecture by
DR.. James Whitcomb Brougher, on
Sunday evening was certainly worth
while 1t was tbs kind that hit every
body, and pleased everybody. He is
humorous and at the same time
drove home facts that are well for
us all to remember, and if We all
heed the lesson taught by him, that
alono is worth the price paid for a
season ticket.
Hawkins lecture and Nature pic
lures on Monday evening, was a
wonder. 1t is almost hard to believe
that these pictures were actually
taken from the wild animals and
birds in their native haunts, and to-
one who has never seen these ami
mails in the wilds, it was certainly
a treat to them.
The Smith-Spring-Holmes Quintet
who filled the program on Tues
day evening, was the kind OF an
that takes well with
veryone. Their music was full of
real harmony. something little
unusual these days
