GENEsEE CROPS
IN NEED OF RAIN
BUT THE NEWS THINKS FALL
WHEAT WILL YIELD A GOOD
CROP ANY WAY

"That million dollar rain" is still
delayed and as the season is so fan
advanced none is expected. Unusual
ly cool weather has prevailed thus far
for this time of year and this has
very materially helped grain and hay
crops and present conditions are bet
ter than the most optimistic had
hoped for with so long period with
out rain
The weather remained quite cool
up until Tuesday with the exception
of two or three warm days recently
and this has aided greatly in offset
ting the effects of the extremely dry
spell at this season. The nights have
been especially cool and frost was
plainly visible in low places the lat
ter part of last week and the first of
this and dew has also been in evil
dence on the higher lands.
Fall wheat is looking especially
good and is said to be filling well al
though the present warm days will
cause it to ripen rapidly. Barley is
ripening and will make good yield
although the acreage is small. Many
fields of spring wheat are still in good
condition 1t seems almost unbeliev-
able to an easterner that crops can so
well survive such long dry period.
Most of the alfalfa and timothy
hay is in the shock and grain hay is
being cut. An average yield is re-
ported and it is. curing in good shape.
Travellers report the crops about
Genesee as looking better than any
they had seen.
Tuesday the weather warmed up
bit and sent the mercury to 92 de-
grees and it was probably a couple
Of degrees hotter on Wednesday,

IDAHO OFFICIAL
STARTS WAR ON CATS
DIR. WHITE, PUBLIC WELFARE
COMMISSIONERS, SAYS Eel
INES BREED DISEASE

BOISE.-"Choose between your
cat and the health of your child" is
the selection urged upon Idahoans in
a statement which has just been is
sued by J. K. White, state commits
sioner of public welfare.
"There can be no questioning the
fact that feline pets almost invarl-
ably are breeders of disease" declar-
ed Mr.. White Saturday. Parents
who value the health of their children
will not permit them the doubtful
privilege of coming into direct con-
tact with the billions of pathogenic
bacteria every cat carries.
II might have more sympathy for
the occasional profeline individual
if it could be demonstrated that there
ever was cat capable of affection.
It is my earnest belief that Idaho's
several thousand felines should be
exterminated as expeditiously as pos
sible.
"The plea of bird lovers that the
cat is a most persistent enemy OF
feathered songsters should receive
consideration, but more important
than this argument is the unalterable
fact that cats are hideously insanitary
by habit and inclination.
"It is not beyond the realm OF prob
ability that Idaho will be a catless
state in the not distant future.

INLAND TRA|NMEN
LOSE THEIR CLAIM
CLAIMS FOR BACK PAY DISAL-
LOWED BY THE MASTER IN
CHANCERY, o. L. CAIN

SPOKANE.-Cla of great mag
nitude against the Spokane & Inland
Empire Railway company, including
one of 260 or more streetcar con-
iductors and motormen for back pay
amounting to thousands of dollars
were denied in decisions filed today
in the federal court by Oscar Cain,
master in Chancery.
While the amounts involved in the
claims totaled we'll over $1,000,000
the one of the most Importance is
that in which the street car men are
involved, inasmuch as the workers
only yesterday refused to participate
in a strike against the company in
sympathy with the electrical work
ers.
Several of the claims for priority
over the $4,O1O,OOO mortgage held
against the company by the First
Trust & Savings bank of Chicago
were denied. One of these was one
for $522,OOO by the Great Northern
and Northern Pacific railway COM
panies which jointly hold mortgages
against the concern for close to 81,
100000.
The question of law upon which
hinged the success of the car mems
claims for back pay was that of the
time when a contract terminated. The
plaintiffs alleged that they gave no.
tice to the company on July 8, 1918,
that the union wished to reopen nego-
tiations regarding wage scales, coun-
eli for the car men contending that
this notice terminated a contract |
1nder which they were working. On
his question the decision read:
81 am convinced that the course of
lealing established always contem-
plated the making of a new agree
nent and that it was the new agree
nent and not the notice that the par
les had read to operate as operating
o put an end to the old contract and
tx rate of pay from the giving of

RIGHT OF WAY FOR
STATE HIGHWAYS
GOVERNMENT ISSUES STATE
MENT ON HOW LAND OWNERS
CAN HELP BUILD ROADS

WASHINGTON, D. Gone o.
the praiseworthy features of the ma
tional highways measure recently in
troduced in Congress by Senator
Townsend of Michigan, is that relat
ing to road rights of way" states
Chairman George C. Diehl of the A
A. A. Good Roads Board.
Perhaps no single feature of road
work in the past has caused the state
highway commissioners as much
trouble as has that of securing ade-
quate rights of way, properly To-
Gated" continues Mr.. Diehl.
whenever plans for a new road
are announced it is human nature for
those who live along the way, either
to bring pressure to bear to have the
thorofare constructed in front of their
door or else to force the highway de-
partment to make detours in order to
save cutting through piece of prop
erty.
"Such policy always reacts
against the owner in the long run,
since the more direct the road and
the better located, the greater travel
will be and the less the cost of main
tenance. 1t follows, too, that in
creased property values will more
than offset concessions made to the
state Unfortunately we are not all
fully educated to a proper under
of this phase of road work
yet, and, as may of our state laws
10 not give the highway commissioner
'ull authority, our main roads are
Usually as full of kinks as a pickanin-
ly's hair. This not only impairs the
usefulness of the road, but it also
dds coniderably to the factor of dan
,er, for frequently abrupt curves are
made necessary by these detours.
"Under the provisions of Mr.. Town
ends measure creating national

OCSlQCO udFlllS SOhCi al
upervision over location and con-
truction is authorized to require the

IDAHO'S BABY CROP
FOR JUNE WAS GOOD

BOISE.-June was a record break
ing month in the matter of the regis
tration of birth certificates, according
to an announcement just made from
the bureau of vital statistics in the
state welfare department.
Summers opening month witnessed
the first laughter and lamentations OF
1902 Idaho native sons and daughters
a total exactly 248 greater than that
achieved in May.
This showing is considered unusual
in view of the fact that IS registrars
in different parts of the state failed
to make June reports.

Scythia, Thrace, the coasts of Asia
Minor, Syria and Egypt. Her tribe
was supposed to have founded many
towns, among them Smyrna, Ephe-
sus, Slnope and Paphos. Each year
the stately Amazons paid visit to
the Gargareans "a neighboring
tribe-and later killed or sent back
to their fathers the male children
while withholding the female.
The Amazon woman waglng war
beside the Euxine Sea. armed with
bow, spear, axe and half shield in
the shape Of crescent, presented a
spectacle Of physical and volitional
parity with man that never since
has been excelled.
Neither is that parallel afforded
( by Bohemian history which relates
that in the eighth century large
band Of women under the leader
ship "of a certain Vlasta" carried
on war against the dukes and lords
Of Bohemia and enslaved or put to
death all the men they captured.
Again in the sixteenth century
the Spanish explorer Orellana as
serted that he came into contact
with "fghting women" in South
America on the liver Maranon--
now named the Amazon--yet the
chronicles OF his skirmish indicate
that the degree of their belllcositS
was Offset by the tactical flaws II
their technique. Women were sait
to have been in the army Of Da
honey, and in the late war they at
tempted to cut figure in Russia
But, on the whole, nowhere in his
tory do women measure up, physl
. cally or in their capacity for bellig
crence, to the Amazonians. In
way it IL almost tragic that in man
| quarters the Amazon is accounte

In "Man and Woman" Havelock
Ellis sets forth some comparative
sex data that may we'll be examined
before passing into the speculative
field of the physical future OF
woman. He says:
"'A man hunts, spears fish, fights
and sits about said an Australian
Kurnai once; the rest is woman's
work. This may be accepted as
fair statement Of the sexual division
Of labor among very primitive peo-
pies. 1t is a division Of labor which
is altogether Independent Of race and
climate. Among the Esquimau, in
their snowhouses on the opposite
side Of the globe, there is the same
division Of labor as among the Aus
tralians. The tasks which demand
powerful development Of muscle
and bone, and the resulting capacity
for intermittent spurts Of energy
involving corresponding periods of
rest, fall to the man; the care Of the
children and all the various indus
tries which radiate from the hearth

Place for Each

To Mrs. William N. Haradon, Of
215 West Ninety-fifth Street, no
physical millennium for woman ap-
pears imminent, nor does she believe
that woman wishes to meet man IN
business life on the basis of physical
equality.
"Woman's place is not altogether
in the home" she said, but her
home duties combined with those for
which the war taught her she Is
fitted make up a combination which,
if we'll done, is sufficient to any wom
an Personally, l hope women never
will have to show the same strength
as men. They can each occupy diff
ferent planes the more advantage
ously. There are little things around
a house that a man never could be
trusted to accomplish. and there are
in all married lives big, important
moments which are better met by
the man. 1t strikes me that it is no
more necessary for woman to en-
croach upon that ground which we
have come to regard as belonging to
the male than it is for man to in
wade some pet dominion of woman.
Both have their place, so why not
keep it7"

more continuous, but at a lower ten
sion, fall to the woman.
"The militant belongs to men; the
industrial to women. The man un-
dergoes the fatigue of hunting, and
when he has thrown the game at a
woman's feet his work is done; it is
her part to carry it and 10 cook it, as
we'll as to make the vessels in which
the food is placed. The skins and the
refuse are hers to utilize, and all the
industries connected with clothing
are chiefly in her hands"
Citing the fact that III Europe
men and women work and are edu-
Gated side by side, Ellis says;
"Such conditions have tended tc
remove artificial sex differences, and
have largely obliterated the coarse1
signs of superiority, which may be.
fore have been possessed by one sen
over another"
The female is not only the founder
Of industrial arts, but it is fac
that at certain ages she is physically
the superior, as witness:
"In Great Britain girls grow
more rapidly than boys between th'
ages Of ten and fifteen; and at th'
ages of eleven and half to forr
teen and half they are actuall,
taller, and between the ages o
twelve and a half and fifteen and

Is it not, then, that woman is

Even when a woman knows
from her own personal experience
that she Is just as strong as a man
she cannot enforce her rights be
cause of the delusions of weaker
sisters all about her. We must
make women physically strong be-
fore we can solve the problems of
modern industrial, political and
social life"
In 4 paper read befoIe the con
ference she said further:
"The fact remains that women
are proverbial sinners against
health Their traditional and ac-
CURED attitude Of mind toward
health is one of assumption that as
women they are entitled to specia
consideration on every kind Of pre-
text.

Boyle is brilliantly fast in the water,

"Chick" Evans would have to give

so on, assuming that in each Of

On the other hand, when it comes
to "stirring a cake" much is to be
said for Martha as against Henry;
and in the matter of bending over

alleged to knock the spots off her

This is important, for it is primi-

nervous system of woman is un-
stable and she cannot stand the
strain of continuous worry that ex-

small.
