There are delegates from as fan
south as New Mexico and as far north
as British Columbia in attendance at
the convention of the western division
of the American Association of In
structors and Investigators in Poul-
try Husbandry, which opened at the
University of Idaho yesterday even
ing for a three-days' session. The
meetings are well attended and much
interest is shown. The poultry busi-
ness is being discussed in all its
phases and some splendid addresses
and excellent papers will be delivered
and read during the convention.
Forenoon, afternoon and evening ses-
sions are being held.
The address of welcome was deliv-
cred by Dean E. j. Iddings, of the
college of agriculture, who told of the
greatness of the poultry industry and
how it can and should be operated
along with livestock and agriculture.
The reply, on behalf of the delegates
was made by E. H. Upton, provincial
poultry instructor for the province Of
British Columbia, Canada.
Organization was then perfected
with Prem Moore, head of the poultry
of the University of Ida
no and recognized authority on
poultry raising as president; and
Miss Whitaker, head of the poultry
of Washington State col
lege, Pullman, as secretary. Commit
tees were appointed to look after the
various departments.
An excellent paper, entitled "War
Time Poultry Feeding in the North
west" by Prof. games Dryden, chief
of the division of poultry husbandry
of the Oregon Agricultural college,
was read by Professor Charles S.
Brewster, of the same school, in the
absence of the author.
Professor j. E. Sougherty, of the
poultry department of the University
of California, was not present, but
sent letter which was read by the
secretary This letter dealt with
"The Future of the Commercial
Poultry Farm"
"War time poultry feeding" was
the subject of an able address by Mrs.

CANDIDATE FOR
GOVERNOR IS HERE
S. P. ATHERTON OF TWIN FALLS
CAMPAIGNING IN LATAH
COUNTY TODAY

Senator Atherton is very much
pleased with north Idaho, so far as
he has seen it. In conversation with
the scribe he stated:
"The rich, rolling prairie lands Of
the Palouse country takes me back to
farming sections Of the Mississippi
valley. The black soil, the waving
grain, the hay fields and pastures,
are all like that section. The absence
of irrigation in raising your crops
also appeals to the easterner. If you
had the climate which would allow
you to raise corn this country could
not be beaten for farming. AS it is,
it is certainly a very important part
of Uncle SANS bread basket.
81 was very much impressed also
with the new road from Lewiston to
the top of the grade this side of the
Clearwater. I think it is by far the
best piece of road work in Idaho. The
view from this road is magnificent,
and well worth trip of many miles
to see.
II am on my way to visit the timber
and mining sections of the north.
The development of these industries
within Idaho are said to be on scale
that is very impressive. AS citizen
of the state / am certainly proud of
north Idaho as far as / have seen it.
I only regret that it is not possible
for more of our people from the south
end to see it. If they could do so we
would have hard-surfaced road con-
Meeting the two sections of the state
as soon as it could be built.
"There is one thing coming before
the people this fall to which / think
their attention should be called now
and repeatedly until election. At the
last session of the legislature reso-
luton was passed to submit to the
people the question of holding new

tack this time had no element of sur
prise, for General Foch knew of the
German intentions days in advance
and the French made their plans for
it last week.
Even in the main region where the
Germans made their most important
gain they have not reached the high
ground south of the Marne, which is
strategically very important.
Use 100000 to 100000 Men
In their previous attacks the Ger
mans used one division to each mile
of front, hence it is estimated that
they are using at least so divisions
ii the present operations, which
wcuid be between 7a2,0C0 and 100000
men.

POULTRY INSTRUCTORS IN
SESSION At THE UNIVERSITY

I George R. Shoup, poultry specialist
of the western Washington expert
ment station at Puyallup, Wash. "In-
chbation" was the subject discussed
by j. R. Terry, chief poultry instruct
or of the department of agriculture
for the province of British Columbia
Today at noon the visiting dele
gates were guests of the chamber of
commerce at the. regular weekly
luncheon. Tonight they are being en-
cow as the special guests of Presi-
dent and Mrs. E. H. Lindley; Dean
and Mrs. E. J. Iddings and Prof. and
Mrs. Prem Moore. The sessions will
close tomorrow evening.
The discussions are bringing out
some very interesting and useful in
formation in regard to the poultry
business. 1t was shown that while
there has been a marked increase in
the price paid for poultry and poul-
try products, the increase has not
hepI pace WIFI Tie price VI Leu,
which is now from three to five times
as high as it was before the war be-
gan. But poultry raising is receiving
more attention and will be conducted
on business principles more than ever
before. The future of the poultry in
dustry is believed to be bright, but
some radical changes will be needed
to make it as successful as it should
be. 1t was shown that the non-pro-
ducers or "boarders" as they are call
ed cannot be kept on poultry farm
or yard and that only producers will
pay to keep.
That the poultry industry in the
United States in 1917 brought in the
enormous sum of $725,000,000 was
shown by government statistics. Prior
to the war, which sent the price of
wheat and cotton skyward, poultry
was the second industry in the United
States in point of Importance. 1t was
shown that even under the present
unfavorable conditions the poultry
man who has adopted business prin
ciples and accepted the changed con-
ditions has made money and will con-
tinue to do so.

b| CKNELL BACKS
DOWN ONCE AGAIN
STATE FOOD ADMINISTRATOR
ISSUES HIS DAILY CHANGE"
IN RULES

Like the intrepid general who
marched his soldiers up the hill ano
marched them down again." State
Food Administrator Bicknell, who
issued the order to close all business
houses at 9 o'clock on Saturday nights
and at o'clock other evenings, and
to close confectionery stores at 8
o'clock every night, has been issuing
orders one day and countermanding
them the next. He changed the orders
yesterday and today makes another
change, permitting all business houses
to remain open until IL o'clock Satur-
day night. The following telegram
received by H. D. Martin, county food
administrator, today is .self-explana-
tory:
''Boise, Idaho, July 13.
H. D. Martin, County Food Admins
traitor United States Food Admin
istration, Moscow, Idaho:
On Saturday night all business may
remain open until II o'clock, if they
desire. Meat markets may open an
hour earlier and close an hour later
than hours designated in original
order for stores generally where by
agreement merchants of community
are opening earlier than designated in
order may continue to do so, but there
must be uniformity.
BICKNELL."
This order will probably stand for
several days, but, judging by the past,
Mr.. Bicknell will probably issue an
other change very soon.

constitutional convention. This will
be voted on this fall. When this was
before the senate l opposed it in COM
mittee, on the floor and on its final
passage. At that time this nation
was at peace. Now we are at war.
This should be voted down now on
the score of expense alone. This con-
vention will cost the state at least
100000, if not more. Probably con-
siderable more. The mileage and pay
of members is the same as that paid
legislators. The membership is twice
the number in the house OF represen-
tatives. In the last session the mem
bership of the senate and house of
representatives was 102. The legls-
lative session is limited to 60 days,
and the last session cost the state
$4,000. The membership of the next
house of representatives will be IL
The convention will therefore have to
have 142 members, drawing the same
pay as legislators. The length OF
their session is unlimited. If it held
for 80 days the expense would be ap-
proximately 100000. If 60 days the
cost would be approximately $4,000.
If 80 days it would run to about
$16O,O0O. If 120 days it would run
to over 100000. This is estimated
on the same cost per member as a
legislator, the mileage all being fig
ured in the first estimate. This is a
very expensive luxury for Idaho in
war times.
Gin war times public thought quick
ems, ideas of government change, peo-
pie get new conceptions of safeguard
ing public officials and monies; they
write new definitions of civic honesty
and get new standards for public
service and patriotism. We are just
now going through this formative
period, and it would be a grave error,
on this account, to hold a constitution
al convention now, or for five years at
least after the war closes. 1t will
take this time at least for these new
ideas to crystalize to such an extent
that it will be safe for US to put them
into our fundamental law. We could
much better put the cost of holding
this convention into war work at this
time and hold the convention later"

100000 GERMANS
ON BATTLE From |
BRITISH VIEW OF FIRST DAYS
FIGHTING is THAT GERMAN
DRIVE is HELD

| LONDON.-Ihe great German at
| tack was definitely held up on the
| whole front east of Rheims five hours
after it was launched, according Ito
the latest advices reaching London
and the only German gains worth
mentioning were in the neighborhoOd
of the Souain road and Prunay, where
they succeeded IN penetrating for
about one and one-half miles on nar-
row front. At both these points tie
French initiated strong counters t.
tacks late in the morning. III
Enemy Gains Very Limited 4
On the front west of Rheims The
Germans had rather more success, but
the only important gain to their
credit for the mornings work was
the crossing of the Marne and a zone
little more than mile beyond on a
front of about 10 miles. The Marne
in this district is only small river;
it is shallow and can easily be crossed
in the early morning mists. Its loss
to the allies, however, deprives them
Of a fairly valuable defensive land
mark.
Use Long Range Guns
The battle began with a wholesale
bombardment inaugurated about mid
night along the whole front from
Chateau Thierry to Massiges except
for narrow sector around Rheims.
This intensified bombardment of the
French lines, with the usual accom-
paniment Of trench mortars by the
thousands, also was reinforced by q
long-range bombardment of the back
areas on a scale greater than ever
heretofore attempted. This back area
bombardment was Systematically di-
rected along the line of Chalons,
Montmirail and La Ferte-Sous-J on
ARE, and the map shows that this
line is located from IL to 18 miles
behind the French front. This is evil
dence that long-range guns of the
most powerful and far-reaching vari-
ETY. must have been used in numbers
greater than ever before.
Prompt Use of Reserves
The bombardment lasted until 4:3O
o'clock. Then came the German at
tack, launched at dawn under the
cover of the morning mists, which are
particularly heavy in the Marne val
ley. The French communications how
ever, were well maintained through
out the morning and news of German
penetrations here and there came
promptly to the general staff, en-
abling proper dispositions of the re-
serves to be made more rapidly and
accurately.
The general view of the men who
watched the progress of the battle
from afar was that the Germans have
lost some of their punch since their
last big attempt, for nowhere did the
present attack gain the sweeping sue
cess which their previous efforts
yielded them.
First Rush Failure
By mid-afternoon the entente mill
tary experts were actually feeling op-
timistic, although the danger was not
yet over. But it was evident that the
first big rush had failed to yield the
Germans anything like the results
which might have been expected.
One reason probably is that the at

A Stray Yellow Dog.

He was vagrant and marauder
in the vicinity. Ouly a yellow dog
that nobody owned.
You have seen the type-every-
body has. Legitimate prey of the
small boy, object of scorn of all
adulty humanity. ranking lower in
the scale of life than the tubercu-
losis bacillus and the vermiform ap-
pendix, the stray yellow dog has al
ways been in class by himself, and
always at the foot of his class.
This particular stray yellow dog
was bat a type of uncounted thou
sands. Every town knows him.
every boy SHES stones at him and
ties cans to his tail. and sends him
skally.hooting out of the neighbor-
hood. 1t is at the expense OF the
stray yellow dog that the modern
boy gives vent to the savage that is
in him, and goes unreproved.
Well, the other day boy coaxed
this stray dog to him and patted his
head to gain his confidence.
But only long enough to tie a tin
can to his tail.
Now; this dog was familiar with
cans. and quietly sat down, facing
the boy with look of sadness and
reproach.
Then the boy kicked the dog and
started him off. He threw some
stones after him to set him going.
But the dog when he had got be.
yond the reach of the stones sat
down again and resumed his speech
less reproaches. He liked the pat
ting on the head. He longed for
companionship and sympathy.
The boy went to play on a raft in
a pond, and when he fell off the
raft, as, of course, all bad little
boys 60, he came within breath of
drowning. No human help was
near. and his plight was desperate.
He was going down for the third
time, and vaguely grasping about
him for the traditional straw. when
his hand caught mass of shaggy
hair.
The last thing the boy remember
ed was his hanging on for dear life.
and when his senses came back he
was lying upon the bank and the
stray dog was licking his face and
whimpering with joy.
A stray yellow dog with tin can
tied to his tail can sometimes teach
the highly superior human beings a
lesson. Christian Herald.
