This is the advice offered by Noel
IF. Thompson, assistant professor Of
botany at the University Of Idaho,
to those who contemplate sending
plant specimens to the university for
Identification.
we are more than glad to under
take this service, said Professor
Thompson today, but we must insist

the farmer makes it impossible to

ested by sending us only a single leaf.

is understood we will begin to receive
adequate specimens"
Noxious weeds and specimens sus-
of being poisonous range
are being received by the
department in increasing num-
bers. Marked prevalence of the dan
gerous Canadian thistle is indicated
by the many specimens of that plant
sent in for examination.

A STRONG APPEAL
FOR SALVATION ARMY
MOSCOW CITIZEN STATES SOME
PLAIN FACTS IN A PLAIN
WAY TO OUR PEOPLE

A. II. Oversmith, a member of the
soliciting committee to raise funds for
the Salvation Army, has written a
strong appeal to the Christian men
and women of Moscow to do their
plain duty in meeting their quota.
Colfax raised her entire quota before
IL o'clock the first day of the drive.
Pullman raised her quota in one day.
Moscow is two weeks late in starting
and is making slow progress. Mr..
Oversmith's ably written article fol-
lows:
Is Moscow a Christian City?
From the apparent lack of interest
that the people of Moscow are taking
in the present drive for funds for the
Salvation Army it may well be ques-
toned whether Moscow, with all of
its churches and church societies, can
truthfully be called a Christian city.
If obedience to the teachings of the
Bible, especially the great truths con-
tanned in the greatest sermon ever
preached on earth, sThe Sermon on
the Mount is a true test of what the
Christian spirit should be, then we
are surely falling far short in Moscow
in meeting that test.

walton Army.

STRONG ADDRESS
At ASSEMBLY TODAY
RETURNED MISSIONARY FROM
PERSIA DELIVERED SPLEND-
I'D TALK TO STUDENTS

At the university at II o'clock We'd
nesday morning DR.. E. T. Allen, a
returned Presbyterian missionary
from Persia gave a stirring address
on "War in Persia" DR.. Allen is a
western man who is supported in the
field by the Christian Endeavor socie-
ties of the Northwest. He had been
in the work in Persia since 1891 and is
now, with his wife, on a furlough
home. DR.. Aliens station was within
10 miles of the Turkish border, and
although Persia was a neutral country
the Turkish and Russian armies swept
back and forth over that section of
the country until it was entirely de-
vasteated.
The Christian refugees hurried into
the country from Turkey and the only
safe place for them proved to be be-
hind the American flag. The flags
of other countries were violated but
at that place the mission compound
with its refugees was not disturbed.
Dr.. Allen gave a vivid description
of those stirring times. The stories of
the terrible Turkish massacres and
outrages, he said were only too true
and many Of the terrible outrages will
never be known and others could not
be told on a public platform.
And the war is not over in that
country for the Turks are now pre-
to annihilate the Christian
Armenians that remain. DR.. Allen
appealed to the American people to
not permit the present state of af-
to continue while we remain at
home in peace. The American citi-
ems in that country are now under
the protection of the British army.
1t is difficult to understand the rel
spect of other nations for America
and the confidence they have in our
honesty.
At this mission none was left
for safe keeping and no receipt what
ever taken. The Russian bank of the
town left $4,000 and said, Eve will
settle some day, repay if you cam"

SHORT COURSES WILL
BEGIN NEXT MONDAY

Two short courses will begin at the
University of Idaho next Monday, Oc-
tober 13. They are the short course
in dairying and the short course in
general agriculture. Both are to con-
tinue five months and both are ex-
pected to draw many students from
all parts of the state. Southern Idaho
has been making many inquiries and
it is believed the largest enrolment
for a short course in the history of
the university, will be registered here
next week when these two popular
courses open Dean e. J. Iddings, head
Of the school of agriculture, said: "Of
we will have, but the Indications point
to a very good registration. In fact

than any we have had for some time.
The wal broke into these short
courses during the past two years, but
we hope for a big enrolment next
week. These courses, both of which
are very important to country people,
come at a time when they can best
be spared from the farms-fve months
in the fall and winter when there is
less work on the farms than at any
other season. If the people Of Mos
COW will provide homes for these peo-
pie we believe that the enrolment will
be larger than it has been for a num-
Der of years."

LIST OF PRESENTS
GIVEN TO WILSON
SECRETARY TUMULTY GIVES
TENTED LIST OF GIFTS
RECEIVED IN EUROPE

Certain congressman having made
a terrible howl about the costly gifts
showered upon President and Mrs
Wilson by crowned heads of Europe"
and placing the value of these at
half a million to one million dollars"
demanded an investigation and that
congress be furnished a list of the
presents. Instead of giving this to
congress, Secretary Tumulty, acting
under the direction of President and
Mrs. Wilson, gave the complete list
to the newspapers of the United
States. The list, with a statement
by Secretary Tumulty, follows:
"While on his western trip the
presidents attention was called to the
resolution of Representative Roden-
berg of Illinois and the statements of
Senators Penrose and Sherman in re-
gard to presents received by President
and Mrs. Wilson while they were in
Europe.
Senator Sherman indicated the
basis Of the various stories touching
this matter when he said cloak room
gossip laid the value of these gifts
at half a million dollars.
"Here are the facts:

of small gifts, such as books, walking

The control Of the police over the traf-

and heavy but actual tieups rarely
lasted more than few minutes.
This was due somewhat to the fact
that many thousands of persons walked
across each of the three bridges, while
on the night before, with heavy rain
falling. everybody tried to get a ride.
Brooklyn Bridge was closed to pedes-
TRAN and vehicular traffic from Brook

in effect on the Manhattan Bridge, and
as a result the police had to contend

rangement to get over. so that there was
not that blind rush for the bridges that
characterized the crowds of the first day
OF the strike, when they trusted largely
to luck to get them over.
Curiously enough the persons who did
