"A long time ago God started a
world program. He went in search
of man on whom he could depend as
leader. He selected Abraham, be-
cause he knew that Abraham would
command his children and his house.

IN the way of the Lord. God knew
he could depend on man for a world

"Six superlatives In relation to this
subject are outstanding:
"The most tremendous responsible
ity that God ever laid on man is the
responsibility Of fatherhood.
"The most momentous thing In the
life Of a woman is to be a mother.
"The deepest joy that comes to hui
man beings is that which comes to
fathers and mothers who have sue

"The most depressing and excru-
ciating sorrow known to human be-
ings is that which comes to parents
who have failed with their children.
"Ihe best contribution a human be-

race and the advancement of the world
is to send out children who will do
better than the parents have done.

IMPORTANT MEETING
HERE APRIL 8
STATE DEPARTMENT TO HOLD
HEARING FOR AGRICULTURAL
INTERESTS

Boise.-The newly created Depart
ment of Agriculture which embraces
within it's scope the administrative
horticultural and livestock interests
TO the state or Idaho. is now engaged
in assembling data and the views of
all interested parties relative to the
better methods of carrying these ex-
tensive laws into effect. The mag
nitude of this department may be APP
preciated when it is recalled that all
shipments of farm produce made to
points outside of the state must be
graded and inspected, in accordance
with the federal laws, rules and regu-
lations in operation throughout the
United States.
One of the most extensive plans yet
inaugurated in connection with the
department of agriculture, is the APP
pointment of a commission of investi-
cation to hold hearings in the several
districts of the state. These commits
sions will consist Of five representa-
tive citizens, each commission to in
'vestigate the condition in its own res
pective district. The first meeting
will be held at Moscow, beginning
Thursday, April 3, and, if necessary,
extending over until Saturday, the
9Th. The commission will consist of
four representative producers, togeth-
err with Dean E. ]. Iddings of the Ex-
perimental Station. Arrangements
will be completed, doubtless, for the
appointment of Mr.. Iddings to the po-
sition of Chief Analyst of Grain In

spection. Under his direction, it is
proposed to complete the laboratory
of the University, employ the one at
the Boise Extension Department, and
establish the third at American Falls,
for the purpose of testing and proper
ly grading all the grain shipped out
of Idaho, under such rules and regula-
tons as may be adopted at these
meetings.
For: instance, the Moscow meeting
will consider the effect these laws
will have upon the grain and other
productions of the northern Idaho dis
tries This commission will invite
shippers, dealers, elevator and ware
house men, bankers, business men and
especially the growers of the princi-
pal products of the country, to meet
with it and offer such suggestions
and opinions as may be useful in es-
tablishing the rules and regulations
1t is the purpose to see that the laws
do not in any way hinder or retard
the handling of the crops; but on the
other hand, establish the products of
the state on high commercial plane,
in order that the producers may be
assured of the maximum prevailing
prices.
After the fruit crop is out of dan
ger OF frost, second commission will
be organized for the purpose of hold
ing an investigation in the city of
Lewiston, covering the horticultural
products, in the same manner as out
lined.

memorandum marked the Inauguration
OF definite party policy, to be carried

not but realize, as he would have been

previous evening at great patriotic
rally in the New York Hippodrome a
message was read from him, written
especially for the occasion In it was
this striking -sentence-::-
"We have room for but one flag, the
American flag, and this excludes the
red flag, which symbolizes all wars
against liberty and civilization just as
much as it excludes any foreign flag
Of nation to which we are hostile,
