Farm Home Burns

The farm home of E. L. Gossett, / u
miles north of town burned last night.
The alarm was sounded about 500
o'clock and a large crowd started to
find the fire but when it was learned
it was out of town only a few automo-
biles went out. The chemical engine,
after running around town in a vain
effort to locate the fire made a record
run to the scene but could do little
as the house was a mass of flames
when it reached there. The fire start
ed by children playing with matches.
All of the contents and even the doors
and windows of the lower story were
saved. The loss is heavy as the mouse
was a good one. 1t was partly covered
by insurance.

STANDARDS FIXED
WASHINGTON STATE, WHERE
MUCH IDAHO GRAIN is SOLD,
ADOPTS STANDARDS

New grain standards of the depart
ment of agriculture were approved for
the state of Washington at largely
attended meeting of growers, dealers,
exporters and mill men held in Spo-
kane, May IS. Under present stand
ards No. Bluestem and No. 1 Red
Russian must weigh 60 pounds to the
bushel. Under the standards of the
federal government to go into effect
July Is, No. 1 Bluestem must weigh
60 pounds and No. 1 Red Russian So
pounds. Several who spoke urged that
the standards should allow No. l Blue
stem to weigh So pounds, and No. 1
Red Russian to weigh 81 pounds.
After much discussion the assembly
voted to approve the federal stand
ards, reserving the right to protest on
the test weights of Red Russian and
Bluestem.
The purpose of having the state
adopt the federal grades is to do away
with confusion in grading and in
specting grain, and to give the grower
the benefit of federal inspection.

DEMONSTRATION At
\. THE UNIVERSITY
DOMESTIC SCIENCE DEPARTMENT
ENTERTAINS WIVES OF FAC
ULTY MEMBERS

The home economics department OF
the University of Idaho assisted by
representative of the dairy division
of the U. S. department of agriculture
entertained the faculty wives at the
department rooms in the administra-
ton building this afternoon. The
young women who assisted in receiv-
ing the guests wore the gowns which
they had made in the dressmaking
classes this year One Of the pleas
ing features of the dresses was the
eentire lack of amateur appearance. The
color combinations were artistic, and
the gowns very becoming.
For refreshments cottage cheese
starts and coffee were served. The
traits were made from cottage cheese
prepared by the federal workers who
are to pnt on campaign for the utll-
,ization of skim milk in the making
of cottage cheese in Montana and
Idaho Miss Lpl9 Chestnut has been
appointed demonstrator fer Montana;
Miss Leah P. Jennings of Post Falls
will have charge of the cottage cheese
work for farm women in Idaho. The
product is delicious and promises to
be very popular. Cottage cheese has
high food value, being equal, approx
mately, pound for pound with meat. 1t
is interesting to know that from loo
pounds of skim milk Is pounds OF cot
tage cheese may be made. If the SKIM
milk were fed to livestock, 100 pounds
would produce 4.8 pounds of meat.
This comparison of figures shows
quite an economic loss in food value.

Moscow is still 1915 behind her quota

raised by noon tomorrow. The COM
mittee has $5125, and the quota is
$500. There has been no soliciting
and it is hoped there will be none. The
drive must close by noon tomorrow or
Moscow will be regarded as lacking in
public spirit. The committee wants to
set new record. This is to be a free

have been sent out. The people have
been asked to come forward and give
their donations. Hundreds of them
have done so. Other hundreds intend
to do so, but they are slow. 1t is asked
as special favor, for the honor of
Moscow, that the Remaining $375 be
raised before noon tomorrow and that
at noon the announcement can be made
that Moscow has raised her quota for
the noblest work of manhood and
womanhood, the Red Cross.
Bovill, with quota of $500, had
raised $1400 Sunday evening, and the
drive did not start until Monday morn
ing. Deary, with quota of $500 has
raised $500, this sum being raised
the day the drive opened 1t is believ-
ed that every town and precinct in La
tab county has oversubscribed it's
quota, and we want to finish our work
by noon tomorrow.
Let us make a new record for Mos
COW, her entire quota raised without
a single personal solicitation, the

needs support.
Have you done your share? If not,
will you do it before noon Thursday?
