ACR|CULTURAl|STS
IN SESSION HERE
HIGH SCHOOL AGRICULTURAL
TEACHERS AT THE UNIVER-
SITY OF IDAHO NOW

Agricultural teachers from about 20
Idaho high schools operating under
the Smith-Hughes act which provides
for joint educational work in agricul-
ture by the state and federal govern
ments cooperating, are here for a
weeks conference during the last
week of the summer session of the
University of Idaho. They come from
various parts of the state and will be
in session the remainder of the week
They are holding busy sessions in
Morrill, Hall, the agricultural building
of the university, and every hour is
being devoted to actual work. The
teachers are being assisted by the
staff of the agricultural college and
the entire plant, including the live
stock, the farm and the experimental
plants have been placed at their dis
poSal.
A number of agricultural teachers
were already in attendance at the
summer school but the number was
augmented by the arrival of IA more
for this special session. There are
20 high schools in Idaho that are o.
Grating under the Smith Hughes act
in agricultural instruction and the
number is expected to increase with
the opening of the fall term. The
session was called by the state super
visor Of vocational agriculture with
a view to securing uniform work and
giving the agricultural teachers an
opportunity to get acquainted with
and learn from the agricultural col
lege and experiment station staffs
at the university. Dean Iddings, head
of the experiment station and agri-
cultural college, estimates that 80
Idaho high schools will have this
course next year.
The summer school closes next Fri
day, what is regarded as the most
successful session since the school was
renewed after being closed down for
six years. High school principals,
and teachers of all grades of schools
have come from every section of the
state, for this session and they speak
in terms of praise of the work ac-
and the hospitality of
Moscow citizens who have entertain
ed them in many ways.

DOUBLE HEADER AT THE
UNIVERSITY THIS EVENING

There is to be a double
entertainment at the University of
Idaho tonight, the last entertainments
that will be given for the summer
session. In addition to the entertain
ment, the full program of which was
published Monday evening, and which
will be given on the campus in front
of the administration building, there
will be reading and character i'm
personation by Professor Milton ].
Sitter, superintendent of the Craig
mont schools, following the other en-
tertainment and beginning at 8:15 in
the "Y" hut. The first entertainment
begins at 1880 and the second at 8:15,
so there will be no waits. Professor
Sitter will read Bernard Shaw's fam
Gus play "The Devils Disciple" His
work is said to be of high order
as he has had many years of work in
circuits and is rated as
a high class entertainer. Both enter
tainments are positively free, no
charge having been made for any en-
tertainment given during the summer
school. Moscow citizens are urged
to attend both entertainments. This
will be the last opportunity to meet
and greet the teachers, whose work
ends Friday, with the close Of the
summer school.

lewiston PAPER
BOOSTS {. c. BOOM
EDITOR ASKS THAT MOSCOW
MANS NOMINATION FOR
JUDGE BE UNANIMOUS
(Lewiston Banner)

We dislike very much to use the
word "nonpartisan" since the Town
ley league disgraced it, but in this
state it must be used in speaking of
candidates for supreme court honors.
They are not supposed to bear any
political label, since we have what is
termed "nonpartisan judiciary"
In this connection the candidacy of
E. C. Boom of Moscow gives the peo-
pie of north Idaho, irrespective of
party, an opportunity to vote for a
north Idaho man for an important
office.
Mr.. Boom is said to be qualified in
every way to take place on the su-
preme court bench. 1t is said that
he is democrat, but as democrats
and republicans worked together in
the great war, both at home and
abroad, there is no good reason, all
things being equal, why politics
should not be "adjourned" in a nom
partisan contest and Mr.. Boom's cleo
tion made unanimous. He is minus
a leg, but at that he ought to be able
to run with sufficient speed to be able
to win in contest in which politics
is not supposed to figure.
(Since the above was put in type
we learn that F. S. Randall of this
city has decided to permit his name
to go before the state convention at
Pocatello as candidate for the SUI
prenie court.-Ed.)

MOSCOW SCHOOLS
SHORT OF TEACHERS
LITTLE MORE THAN ONE-THIRD
OF PLACES FILLED-BOARD
WILL MEET SOON

With the opening of the school year
only six weeks distant Moscow indie
pendent school district is confronted
with the largest shortage of teachers
in it's history. The district, which
embraces the city of Moscow, and has
four school houses, employs 33 teach
ers, and at this time only IL or 13
are definitely secured. City Superin-
tendent Shanks and the school board
are busily engaged in trying to fill
the vacancies, and have number of
applications that are being consider
ed and are seeking other applications.
Professor W. E. Wiley, who has
been coach and manual training teach
er for several years and produced the
state champion basketball team three
years in succession and one season
won the northwest championship, re-
signed to go into business and his
place has not been filled. There are
vacancies in the high school al in
the grades. While there have been
vacancies at this time of year every
season, there have never been half as
many as now, nor have teachers ever
appeared to be so difficult to procure.
The enrolment of the school last
MAY, WIlGu Cu0 IGIIIl ClOSeU, was IOC0,
with 745 in the grades and 344 in the
high school. A class of 43 was grad
uated from the high school and al
most every one of these will enroll Is
the University of Idaho this fall.
Two vacancies recently filled ara
those of the sewing and domestic
science departments. Miss Kathar-
inc Cash has been employed to teach
sewing in the high school and the
eighth grade and Miss jeanette Scott
will teach domestic science, succeed
ing Miss Courtney, of Pullman, who
was reelected but did not accept the
position.
The school board will hold spec
ial meeting within few days to con-
slider some applications and take steps
to try to fill the remaining vacan-
cies in the teaching staff.
H. V. Mathews, who taught agri-
culture and kindred subjects in the
high school last year, has accepted
the position for another term. This
is under the Smith Hughes act which
provides federal aid for the instruc-
tion in agriculture, animal husbandry,
shop work and gardening. There is a
strong class in these subjects in the
high school.

MOSCOW CHERRIES
FOR MARACH|N0S
SHIPMENTS FROM MOSCOW TO
PUYALLUP, WASHINGTON,
TO BEGIN SOON

Shipments of Royal Anne cherries
from Moscow to Puyallup to be pro-
cessed and used as Marichino cher
ries is to begin in few days. The
cherries are beginning to ripen now
and the yield is better than that of
Bings. Oxheart cherries, resembling
ROYAL Annes to great extent, are
also being used.
The cherries go to Lewiston where
they are packed in barrels in a pre-
serving solution, and shipped by ex-
press to the processing works at Puy
allup. Bailey & Wicks, of Lewiston,
have contracted for the cherries and
are doing the packing and making the
shipments. This firm has already
shipped 500 barrels, each containing
$50 pounds Of cherries, from the Lew
iston district and are now after the
crop in Latah county.
Picking of Bings is now in full
blast. The yield is not to exceed 20
per cent Of normal, but the quality
is fine. There being so few cherries
on tree they grew larger and are
of excellent quality. Several large
orchards of cherries are in bearing
in this section and usually bring good
profits to the owner. One man, with
81 Bing cherry trees, has received as
high as So for the fruit from one
tree, although the yield was light and
the trees are still young. Cherry trees
will continue to improve in yield and
quality of fruit until they are Is
years old it is claimed. There are
cherry trees SO years old on Snake
river, that have been bearing heavily
for 40 years.
Local dealers are paying eight cents
for Royal Anne and Oxheart cherries
and 10 cents for Bings. The price of
Bings was is cents last week, but
drop of five cents was reported about
he time the main crop began to ripen.

JUDGE STEELE IS
BACK FROM CHICAGO
DELEGATE TO GRAND LODGE OF
ELKS TELLS OF HIS TRIP
AND THE WORK DONE

Judge Edgar C. Steele, retired ex.
.alted ruler of Moscow Lodge No. 249
Benevolent and Protective Order Oh
Elks, who, with Mrs. Steele went te
Chicago to attend the grand lodge
of the order, has returned to Moscow
after an absence of 18 days. Judge
and Mrs. Steele report having had a
splendid trip and a. general good time
Judge Steele stated that too much
praise cannot be given to the Chicago
Elks and the citizens of Chicago for
their splendid hospitality. They had
100000 red blooded Americans to en-
tertain and they did it royalty.
The parade given to represent
Americanism was probably the great
est display of pageantry intended to
portray loyalty and patriotism ever
staged anywhere. With more than
100 bands and $50 magnificent floats
and $4,000 marching Elks, the parade
occupied more than two hours in
passing a given point. 1t is estimated
that more than 100000 people wat
ched the parade, being the largest
number of people on the streets of
Chicago since the opening Of the
worlds fair.
Supreme Court Judges Members
It was gratifying to be informed
by the officials of the order that
every member of the United States
supreme court is member of the
order and that 80 per cent of the
members Of the United States senate
and house of representatives are Elks
and that both the republican and
democratic presidential candidates
are members of this great fraternal
organization.
Denounced Un-Americanism
The grand lodge, by resolution, de-
clared the Order Of Elks to be the
enemy Of the I. w. w.. and all forms
of bolshevism and anarchy and that
all such organizations must be put
out of existence. The greatest eff
forts of the order are now being used
to assist the government in giving
vocational training to manned and
wounded soldiers and to prepare them
for taking part in the battle of
life. The officials of the government
are giving every encouragement to
the work of the order in this regard.
Judge Steele stated that every
where the crops appeared to be in
fine condition and every one appeared
to be busy chasing the almighty dol
