NO MONEY IN PORK?
READ THIS REPORT

Three hogs delivered to the Hagan-
Gushing Packing company last week
called for the issuance of the follow
ing sized checks: No. L, $72.S5; No. 2,
$72.29; No. 3, $71; total, $216.OS. The
heaviest of this lot weighed about 44O
pounds. This would indicate a hog
about one year old. There can be no
doubt as to the opportunity for ma
king a piece of money in producing
pork. With the alfalfa pasture for
summer feeding and the pea crop for
fattening and finishing, the Palouse
farmer has come to his own. The hog
grower is constantly adding to the
fertility of his farm while making
bit cash for his bank account.

MISS FRENCH MAKES
STRONG APPEAL
TELLS WHAT 1T MEANS TO
HAVE BODY OF SOLDIERS
AS RESIDENTS

Miss Permeal French, Dean O.
Women, University of Idaho, appear
ed before the Chamber of Commerce
today and made an earnest and force
, full appeal for the cooperation Of the
organization and the citizens of Mos
COW in the matter of right and thor
ough preparation for the presence OF
enlisted men during the coming sum-
mer months.
Miss French called attention to the
past experiences Of towns and cities
which were contiguous to military
posts, and to the undesirable condi-
tions that followed where citizens
were not interested or informed and
the authorities unprepared to care for
thoughtless, needless and sometimes
lawless young people.
Miss French told the members of
the chamber of commerce that there
would be no social functions of any
kind on the campus during the period
the young men were in training. That
is was imperative that the city pro-
vide some means of right and whole
some recreation.
She suggested that it would, per-
haps be desirable that all public
dances be forbidden That it would
be well for the city to provide a
dance pavilion where weekly dances
be given under the supervision of
ladies of the city, acting as chape-
rones, dances closing promptly at
1890 p. m. Miss French also thought !
it would be we'll to ask the cooper
alton of the picture show proprietors
in the matter of best selections Of !
shows that no Objectionable or ques-
tionable exhibitions be made. She
asked the members of the chamber
to talk the matter over with their
wives that all homes might have
thorough understanding of the atti-
tude and relation that should be main
tained during the coming months.
AS another means of community
recreation and activity Miss French
that the weekly band con-
:erts in the park be continued and
hat community singing be added and
hat to aid in more taking part in the
inging of national songs some means
e provided for throwing the words
f the songs on a screen.
The message of Miss French made
deep impression upon all members
resent. President Lindley added a
ew words Of endorsement and said G.
nat the men coming for special "
aiming would be working hard for u
ght hours per day in technical Z
aiming and two hours of military O
ill. That the men would live upon 81
lie campus under strict military
lies, but that a certain amount of
oerty was allowed in the evenings. m
is for this leisure time that Mos D
w must prepare, said DR.. Lindley. T
Professor Reed, L. F. Parsons and fis
zen Moore each spoke very briefly, de
wing support to the plans proposed
I'd upon motion the matter was re-
rred to a committee of five.
