The London Hospital has distribu-
ted automatic collecting boxes. with
a hand indicating the collection
made, and the statement that a do
nation Of one penny keeps the hos
pital for one second. In the bar Of
an East End public house, one OF
these London Hospital collecting
boxes attracted the attention of a
crowd Of sailors who had just been
pai1 OF. With great delight they
started putting pennies In the slot.
An elderly man, who looked like
bo'sun, was one of the crowd, and he
watched the proceedings with drunk
"a solemnity. Having obtained five
shillings in coppers, he approached
the collecting box "Boys,n said he,

In dreamy mood you finally

You gaze curiously at its barn-llke

noon hour, and they are waiting for
the one great event of the day, the
arrival of the rural mailman
whose white horse can be seen com

you mark the contrast between this

Chinese Music.

Chinese music is lncomprehensibl
to the occidental ear, but opinions
vary as 10 why this is so. Either the
Chinese have less ear for harmony
than more civilized peoples, or
else they are SO far beyond us that
we cannot understand their com
binations OF tone. The Chinese were
the first people in the history of the
world to develop system Of octaves,
a circle of fifths and lot OF ether
harmonical technics. bacl. in the days
when our ancestors. the European
savages, had not invented even the
simplest forms of melody Whether
or not we shall finally arrive at un-
dersanding and likins something
that approaches the harmonious dis
cords OF the Chinese. close observers
claim to have discovered among the
musicians and lovers of music
steadily increasing sensitlveness to
harmonies, the existence Of which
was formerly unknown. Subtle har-
monies Of to-day are understood,
which forty or fifty years ago even,
would have been regarded as incom-

BULB PLANTING
RECOMMENDED

Idahoans interested in adding color
and variety to next years garden
have been urged by the University of
Idaho's horticultural department to
plant spring and summer blooming
bulbs within the coming few weeks.
Bulbs which may well be put in
the ground at this time Of the year"
says c. c. Vincent, head of the horti-
cultural department, "are tulips,
crocus, snowdrops, hyacinths and the
various kinds of narcissus and lilies.
Remember to plant the bulbs at
depth about three times their own
diameter in well drained, deeply spad-I
ed ground. Lilies and hyacinths
should be mulched with a good layer
of leaves or straw for protection
against frost. Mulching always
should be removed early in the
spring"

WAR DEPARTMENT
HALTS DELIVERY
OF HAND BOMBS
Grenades Were to Be Given
Away as Souvenirs to
Stamp Buyers

Delivery of 100000 hand grenades
to- the Treasury Department to be con-
verified into savings banks for the slim
ulation OF thrift and sales of War Saw
ings Stamps has been held up by the
War Department and contracts which
the War Department had with the
Treasury Department for supplying
the grenades were cancelled, accord
ing to telegram received from WASH
ington by C. A, Farnsworth,, associate
director of the War Loan Organization
in the Twelfth Federal Reserve Dis
trict. No reason was given for can
that the War Department has deter
mined that the distribution of hand
,grenades as souvenirs should be dis
continued"
The grenades in question, known as
Mills bombs No. II, were ready. for
shipment to the American forces in
France when the armistice was signed.
At the request of the Treasury Depart
ment, the War Department agreed to
turn these banks over to the Treasury
Department for conversion into savings
banks, and Immediately upon an
nQuncement that they would be dis
tributed tosthe purchasers of War Say
ings Stamps, and Treasury Savings
Certificates, millions of orders flooded
in. In the Twelfth Federal Reserve
District alone banks and trust com
panies through which the grenades
were to be awarded had ordered nearly
00,000 of the. souvenirs. These and
all other orders throughout the nation
Will have to be cancelled.
In its telegram to Farnsworth the
Treasury Department stated that Ger
tificates of Achievement signed by
Secretary Glass will be awarded in
stead of the grenades to all school
who worked during the vaca
ton to obtain, bank and who bought
enough War Savings Stamps to entitle
them to grenadeS.

With the view of obtaining accurate
information as to the physical con-
dition of every young woman under
her direction, Miss Irene Watson, as
sistant professor of physical education
at the University of Idaho, is de-
manding that all freshman and sopho-
more goods undergo a thorough
physical examination.
Careful attention. will be given

son today, land those who are in any
way deficient will be placed in special
corrective classes. There is every
reason to believe that in this way sub

the physical welfare of the univer-
sity's entire coed group"

BETTER SIRES MEAN
BETTER STOCK
National Campaign Inaugurated for
az Livestock Improvement.

The scrub sires must go, their death
knell has sounded. No longer can
they hinder progress, prevent i'm
provement and cause loss to livestock
owners. Such in brief is the meaning
of this new campaign for pure bred
sires for every branch of livestock
industry. Many states have already
legislated the scrub stallion out Of
business, others have laws that pre-
vent the turning out of and but pure
bred bulls upon the range, but no
state has gone so far as to down the
use of scrub or grade sires in every
branch of livestock.
Is it not important that pure bred
males should head every flock? Can
grade or scrub ram improve the
wool or mutton producing qualities OF
the flock? Is it to be expected that
the thin-fleshed, common boar with
out pure bred ancestors will cause
his offspring to be heavy well-fleshed
porkers? The scrub bull, beef or
dairy, can never sire offspring that
will be thick-fleshed or large milk
producers.
The campaign is a joint one carried
out by the United States Department
of Agriculture through the Bureau Of
Animal Industry and by the various
states of the union. idaho is prepar-
ing to join this movement, the slogan
of which was suggested from thi.
state. The details under which the
campaign will be conducted in Idaho
are being worked out and will be an
nounced shortly. Idaho's opportunity
to Danish all but pure bred sires and
in that way take her place in the front
rank of live stock states is too good
to be missed.

So large has grown the entire Elk
pertinent Station mailing list that
copies of all bulletins are no longer
sent to each name on our list There
are several reasons for this Funds
do not permit the publication of
enough bulletins to provide a copy
for each of several thousand names
Furthermore, a great many people
whose names are on our list are in
terested only in bulletins dealing with
certain topics, such as dairying, fruit
growing, etc.
The present plan, therefore, is to
announce the issuance of all new bull
letins in the News Letter. The News
Letter is sent to all. names on our
Experiment Station mailing list.
From time to time there will be pub
Hshed in the News Letter a complete
list Of available bulletins. At inter
walls lists of available bulletins will
be sent to those on our mailing lists.
All Experiment Station publica-
tions, issues of which have not been
exhausted by heavy demands, are

FEWER BULLS BUT
BETTER ONES

When bull association was started
in community in Webster County,
Mo-, the best bull in the commun-
ity became a standard for the bulls
selected by the bull association. All
Of the new bulls, then, are as good
or better than the best bull that was
in the community before.
Before the bull association was or
ganized the 10 bulls in the commun-
ity were valued at 81 ,355, an average
of $75.28. One or two of these bulls
were pure breds and the rest were
largely. grades and scrubs Of mixed
dairy and beef breeding. After the
association was formed these monde
scripts were disposed Of and six pure
bred dairy bulls were purchased at
total cost of $1,657, an average of
$276 an animal

BOTANY DEPARTMENT
SERVES FARMERS
Suggestions Offered in Shipping the
Specimens.

Pack all specimens carefully. Be
sure to include the leaf, stalk and
part of the root and, wherever pos
sible, the flower or fruit. Do not
hesitate to send several samples of
the plant to be examined"
This is the advice offered by Noel
F. Thompson, assistant professor Of
botany at the University of Idaho,
to those who contemplate sending
plant specimens to the university for
Identification.
eve are more than glad to under
take this service, said Professor
Thompson today, "but we must insist
on complete specimens. Quite often
the farmer makes it impossible to
classify the plant in which he is inter
ested by sending us only single leaf.
/ am sure that as soon as the situation
is understood we will begin to receive
adequate specimens"
Noxious weeds and specimens sus-
pected of being poisonous range
plants are being received by tho
