ROOF OFF OF RICHMOND

II one Is to Judge by the number
Of songs ana cheers which have been
sent to the War Camp Community SER
vice since April 26, the people Of this
town are going to lift the roof off
Richmond when the Virginia troops

to insure warm and more or less
musical reception for the homecoming
warriors. s.\!l tho verses must bear
either directly or indirectly on the
troops. or on the victory, which has

lists. Prizes of $40. IS and 81 are
offered for the three best cheers Each
cheer. however, must have at least
four lines ard may not exceed six,
though chorus or rah, rah, rah may
be added. Another series Of prizes for
like amounts is offered for the three
best songs. These must have at least
four lines aud may not exceed eight
lines unless they are parodies of we'll
known songs, in which case they may
have as many lines as the song
parodied. Here. again the subject
must be the troops. victory or some
thing Of that nature.
Prizes of five and ten dollars will
also be awarded the best cheer and
song leaders. These useful indivi-
duals will be trained by Henri Beau

UNIVERSITY DON
IS GRAND CHAMPION
RAISED IN MOSCOW WINS
HONORS IN CANADA

More honor has been won by the
University of idaho. The grand
championship title of Northwest
Canada, has been awarded to Uni
v~ersity Don, the HEREFORD bull bred
and raised on the University farm
and recently sold to A. B. Cook, of
Townsend, Montana, who placed him
in the show ring circuit of the
United States and Canada. He was
shown at Saskatchewan, Canada, last
week, at one of the greatest live
stock shows ever held in Canada,
and was awarded the highest honor
that could be given n animal, the
grand champion. This means that
the judges regarded him as the best
bull of any age or breed shown at
that great fair.
The honor is a significant one.
In the show ring was one OF n
most famous herds of the United
States, that had been sent from
Kentucky, where it has won honors
and has taken most of the prizes at
many Of the big stock shows. The
Kentucky Herfords are among the
best in the United States and are
hard to beat, but Don walked off
with the grand championship ribbon
in competition with several of the
bulls of the noted Kentucky herd and
some of them were noble animals.
'This is the first bull bred in
Idaho to take such, a prize at an
international show, in competition
with some of the best animals in
the United States and Canada" said
Dean E. J. Iddings, "and the animal
husbandry department of the Uni
versity is naturally proud of the
record Don has made. He is surely
bringing some good advertising to
the University of Idaho, A. B. Cook,
of Townsend, Montana, who bought
him from the University about a
month ago, thought him one of the
best animals he had seen and Mr..
Cook is a noted and successful breed
er. But we are proud of the fact
that the University still has a num-
Der Of his IONS and daughters on the
college farm and they promise Ito
become outstanding individuals and
a credit to their great SIRE"

LACK or MOISTURE
HURTS IDAHO CROPS
PASTURES BURNING UP AND
SPRING WHEAT FIELDS ABAND-
ONED IN SOME PLACES

BOISE.-A few light thunder
showers occurred in scattered locali-
ties of the northern counties during
the week affording slight temporary
relief from the drought that now pre-
walls throughout the state but which
is most severely felt in the eastern
counties. Pastures and grain crops are
burning badly in dry farm districts.
Cultivated crops are faring better.
In those irrigated sections where
water is still available the high tenn
peratures of the week were rather
favorable for crop growth and all
vegetation made rapid strides. There
is, however, a pronounced shortage
of irrigation water in the upper and
middle Snake River valleys and as a
result considerable acreages of var
ious crops are being abandoned. Up
to the present time there has been
sufficient water in the irrigated Sec
tions of the western counties and
there all crops are in thriving con-
dition.
Winter wheat in the northern
counties is fair to good. Cutting has
begun in Idaho county and the crop
is nearly ready for harvest in the
