WITH THE WOMEN=

Soon the old and trite argument men
give about women never succeeding
because they do not know how to stick
together will have to go into the as
card like many other old and wornout
ideas about women. At present there
are many movements on foot among
women workers to organize in some
manner.
Miss Gertrude McNally is general
organizer for the National Federation
of Federal Employees. She recently
went to New York to cooperate with
the president of the Federal Employees
union in membership campaign
among the women workers In the
Brooklyn navy yard. A conference was
held recently in Washington between
officers of the National Federation of
Federal Employees and the presidents
of local unions at the several points
where are located navy yards and ar
senals. The result is the launching of
special membership drive which
seeks to enlist the thousands Of women
workers in all the United States navy
yards and arsenals.
Miss Mentally is to solve the problem
of organizing these women.

HOTEL PETRoGRAD ENLARGED

A board and room registry has been
established by the American Y. w. c.
A. in Paris, in connection with Hotel
Petrograd, the Y. w. c. A. hostess
house. in order to find accommodations
for the hundreds of American women
war workers thronging into Paris
these days
A French woman spends her entire
time investigating rooms in private
homes, which, if satisfactory, are put
on the list at the Petrograd. Rooms
are no longer reserved at the hotel,
though list is kept of people who
have telegra phed or written for accom-
modations several weeks previous to
their arrival, and they are given the
best thing available.
One large room has been converted
into an emergency dormitory, with Il
army cots. These are filled each night
with women who come after o'clock
seeking rooms.

Y. w. c. AS BIG PROBLEM

Upon the shoulders of one woman
has fallen the job of working out what
is one of the most difficult problems
the National Young Women's Chris
ton association has had to meet in its
fifty odd years of experience. 1t is the
problem of readjustment to postwar
conditions. Miss Eliza Butler, who is
to tackle the job, says that the problem
of switching several thousands of paid
secretaries OF the Y. w. c. A. around
so that everybody is satisfied; so that
there are no empty positions on her
checker board; so that salaries are
distributed proportionately; so that
boards of local associations, presidents
and general secretaries are all salts
fled, is some job and the few who have
followed closely the work Of the Y. w.
c. A. during the war are inclined to
believe she Is right.
One of Miss Buffers pleas is that
the Y. W. c. AS shall not go back
to pre-war salaries for their secre-
taries. I'VE want the best women we
can find to run our associations" says
Miss Butler, and to get them we must
pay them in proportion to the larger
salaries now being demanded and had
by women in various professions"
If Miss Buffers plea is needed it will
mean that women doing local jobs will
probably get an increase in salaries to
meet or at least to compare reasonably
with the salaries the Y. w. c. A, IN
common with other organizations, has
had to pay it's war workers. For now
the war workers must be switched to
regular jobs.
Thus through one woman and her
large department on secretarial Jobs,
the Y. w. c. A. is seeking through the
wheels of its own organization to solve
some of the great employment prob
lens that are facing the world.

ROME BEAUTY AND
JONATHAN APPLES
BUT LITTLE HURT
w. N. Yost, Practical Orchard
list, Makes Investigation and
Finds Crepe Will Be Above
the Average.

That Rome Beauty and Jonathan
apples the chief varieties of apples
grown in the Boise valley, were but
slightly damaged by the recent
freeze, is the statement of w. \. Yost,
practical orchardist of the Meri
dian district and owner of 70-acre
orchard.
Since the Saturday night freeze, Mr..
Host, has conducted Investigations,
rot only of his own orchard, but also
of others in that section. Concerning
his Investigations he said:
1T is safe to predict at this time
that unless another freeze occurs,
there will be more than an average
crop of Rome Beauty and Johna-
than apples, the chief varieties
grown in this valley | have made
a careful investigation of my own
orchard and of others in the vi
entity of Meridian and find these va
ricites of apples were but slightly
damaged
'Winesaps We're damaged to a con-
siderable extent, but stand third and
the Delicious, u more tender variety,
are fourth The prunc crop is ma
terially damaged and there will be
but Il small yield OF cherries and
peaches in this section"
Judge Fremont Wood one of the
large apple growers of the Boise val
ley, authorizes the statement today
tat little damage was done at his
orchard and he anticipates nearly a
rormal crop. He grows chiefly Rome
Beauty and Jonathan apples.
W. II. Wiclls, director of horticul-
turr with the department of agricuI-
turc, believes that a 10 per cent crop
q. fruit is all the southern and south
estern Idaho belt will enjoy this sea-
son, as a result of the freeze. West
g. Meridian the fruit was found to
be hard hit. Emmett also suffered 10
Per cent of the apples being ruined, 40
Fer cent of the peaches and 10 per
cent of the cherries.

GRAIN MAKING GOOD
CROWTH-FRU|T HURT
Crop Report for Week Ending
May 6 Shows Grain and For
age in Fine Condition
Lambs Excellent.

The weekly weather and crop re-
port issued this morning by Clinton
E. Norquest, meteorologist in charge
OF the Boise Weather bureau, shows
that the recent frosts which did dam
age to the fruit crop was somewhat
spotted. The reports says in part:
''The weather during the fore part of
the week was seasonable and generally
favorable for crop growth and for all
outdoor pursuits, but during the latter
half conditions were not so good. 1t
was abnormally cold and heavy to
killing frosts occurred in many local
tiles. Desiccating winds robbed the
soil of moisture and in many sections
of the state, rain would be very well
come. In the irrigated sections, much
watering was done.
TT was a disastrous week for fruit
in many sections. Commercial or
chards suffered severe damage from
frost on the 3rd, 4th and 9Th. The ex-
tent of the damage can not yet be de-
termined. but in some parts of the
Boise -Payette valley it was heavy and
in other fruit sections of the Snake
river valley there was more or less
damage. Early reports indicate that
prunes. sweet cherries, and pears suf-
fered most severely. but some vari-
cites of apples are also hard hit.
Sugar beet planting is just begin
ming in the Pocatello district; it is in
full swing in the Kimberly district,
and about half done in Idaho Falls dis
trict. The work was hampered by cold
drying Winds"

HOW TO GROW
LIMA BEANS


Lima beans are not adapted for
planting in all parts of the United
States, but they thrive in the greater
part of the northern and western
states, and certain of the smaller pod
ded varieties do fairly well in parts
of the south. Two types of Lima beans
are in general cultivation-the pole, or
climbers, and the bush varieties. Lima
beans should not be planted until tho
soil is thoroughly warm and all dan
ger of frost or extremely cold nights
is past.
While the pole varieties of Lima
beans are most widely planted, 1t is a
good plan to include a small planting
of good bush variety, as they will
sometimes yield when the pole varie-
ties are not producing. Some persons
consider the bush varieties more ten
der and of better flavor than the pole

A Mistake Made by Many.

Don't wait for rheumatism to indi-
cate diseased kidneys. When you suf-
fer pains and aches by day and sleep
disturbing bladder weakness by night,
feel tired, nervous and run down, the
kidneys and bladder should be re-
stored to healthy, strong and regular
action. 1t is a mistake to postpone
treatment. Foley Kidney Pills put the

mits Staying Year Old Girl
Chicago, July 29.--Thomas Fitz-
gerald, confessed slayer of 6 year
old Janet Wilkinson, was formally
charged with murder yesterday.
Slightly stopped, specialized and
ascetic appearing, Fitzgerald coldly
told the court he had nothing to say.
He was held without bail for the
grand jury.
Contrasted with Fitzgerald's cool
ness was the rage of Janet's father.
Throughout the arraignment he
struggled with two detectives, ar
guing with them in undertones. He
appeared ready to spring upon the
man who for FIVE days held him in
a torment of suspense while an en-
tire city hunted the lost girl.
How Chicago was stirred was in
dicated by the crowds collecting
wherever Fitzgerald was scheduled
to appear. Outside the coroner's
office a mob collected, yelling Bring
him out, don't try him, give him to
u.s."
Crowds gathered also in the
county building and at the police
station where he was held.
A heavy guard surrounded the
confessed slayer, escorting him from
cell and jury room by back ways.

Attacks City Administration
for Unjust Treatment

The committee in charge of the cam

candidate for President of the Borough
cf Manhattan, in a letter issued last
night "To the Employees of the City
of New York." says that an opportunity
is presented in this election for them
to declare themselves against The in
justice and persecution that has char
acterized the present administration.
"You all know" says the message,
what has been going on at the City
Hall, in the Board of Estimate and in
the various city departments since
January, 1913. You all know about the
broken promises, the many discrimina-
tions and the repeated attempts to dis
rupt organized efforts to improve the
conditions of the employees by threats
and complaints, and the punishment Of
the officers Of the various associations
of employees.
"It has been one, insult after another.
one transfer after another, until the
employees have stood amazed at the
open hostility of an administration for
which they voted less than two years
ago. The ultimatum, What are you
going to do about it? has been hurled
from the City Hall at the patrolmen
at the firemen, at the teachers, at the
street cleaners, and at all groups Of
employees that have attempted to ask
higher pay in the face of power that
threatened them.
"The teachers have not forgotten
the veto of their salary bill after ii
had passed Republican Legislature.'
