Dear Clippings Editor:

Dear Clippings Editor:
Where, oh where is Fuller Woe
Who sang of georgette crepe9
He had an eye for beauty
And especially for shape
A pair of silken hose he d spy
As far as eye could reach;
Though many chickens passed him
by
He never missed peach.
When summer comes in glad array
He II take his pen and write;
The georgette crepe and silken hose
Will burst upon his sight
The warmth of summer in his heart
Will wake the rhyming muse;
He'll see a subject passing by
And twill be too good to lose

For the first time the true orchard

and files of the Idaho department of
agriculture give a description as to

of apples, 1862 acres Of Italian prunes,
800 acres of cherries, 480 acres of
peaches, 50 acres of apricots and 2S4
acres OF pears, or a total of 31,84S
acres. With such records as a guide,
it has been possible to make worth
while estimate of production from the
visitation and reports of % horticul-
tural inspectors.
The detailed estimate shows 1859
cars Of apples. 1918 cars of prunes, 81
cars of Cherries, and cars of pears.
with peaches a minus quantity be-

ever, when deductions are made for
home orchards and home consumption,
it appears that Idaho will ship about
1000 cars of apples, or approximately
the same amount as last year In 1919
the Boise valley had a small crop,
while the Payette section, including
Sruitland, had plenty of apples, but
this year the tables are turned about

DEMOCRATS ARE TO
TRAIL SEN. B0RAH
EXPECT FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT
Or BAINBRIDGE COLBY
TO SPEAK HERE

That either Franklin D. Roosevelt
| vice-presidential candidate on the
democratic ticket, or Secretary of
State Colby will speak in Moscow, is
the statement of leading democrats
who are planning to make an active
campaign to counteract the work Of
Senator w. e. Borah. Earl Hunter,
prominent democrat Of Moscow and
nominee of that party for the legisla-
ture, said:
1--WE expect to have Colby here some
time next month We are not going
to let Borah's statements go unan-
swered or unchallenged.. The repub-
licans have sent one of their strongest
men into this county to open the cam
paign and we plan to come back at
them with one of the leading demo-
cratic speakers. l feel certain that
Colby will come"
G.. P. Mix, county chairman and
Latah county member of the state
democratic central committee, a
brOther-in-law of Jerome J. Day, state
chairman. and himself candidate for
state senator on the democratic ticket,
said
'I think we will get Roosevelt We
sent an invitation some time ago and
we have strong reasons to believe
that he will visit Moscow when he
comes west to speak in Spokane. If
we do not get Roosevelt we will get
Colby or some equally strong men.
The republicans have sent their
strongest man to Idaho to open the
campaign and we accept the challenge.
"The democrats noticed that when
Senator Borah spoke the only mention
he made of Senator Harding. republi-
can nominee for president, who Borah
opposed until long after the conven-
ton, was to sap near the close Of his
address that Harding stood for the
principles he (Borah) had advocated
ins his speech.

portunity. Their parents loaded up
the motor car with camping outfit and
settled the yousg farmerettes in the
front yards of the ranch, camp stove,
bunk and all the necessary parapher-
MALTA for outdoor living.
With only the starry heavens for
roof, and for bath, a swim in the
nearby creek, the girls got back to
nature by quick transit.
At in the morning, the girls were
out in the field, hoeing. During the
hottest part of the day they were back
under the spreading fir trees, comfor-
table in camp, resting until time for
the afternoon stunt. With ample leis-
ure for reading, writing and recre-
alton, these girls, in their overettes
and numercelled tresses, spent eight
weeks Of the jolliest and most profi-
table vacation Imaginable
