TODAY WAS LEGAL
HOLIDAY IN IDAHO
GOVERNOR DAVIS PROCLAMA-
TION ISSUED BUT NOT SENT
TO PAPERS HERE.

Today, November IL, 1920, is
legal holiday in Idaho. Governor D.
w. Davis issued a proclamation to
that effect Oh November 8, but, con-
trary to his usual custom, il was not
sent to north Idaho papers. This
neglect was probably due 30 the pc
l1tical situation and furry as the
proclamation was issued the day fol-
lowing election. The Lewiston Tri-
bune telegraphed Governor Davis
asking if such proclamation had
been issued and the governor replied:
Was Issued November 3
Boise-To the Lewiston Morning
Tribune: On November as COVER
nor of Idaho l issued proclamation
declaring Armistice day, November
II, legal holiday in Idaho.
D. w. DAVIS, Governor.
No Notice Reached Moscow
The proclamation was not sent to
Moscow papers, as has always been
the custom and inquiries over The
telephone and from persons calling at
the office to ascertain if it is a legal
holiday were answered IN the naga-
tive But the proclamation was is
sued and published in the Idaho Daily
Statesman. 1t follows:
Armistice day, November IL, has
been declared a holiday by the gov
ernor of the state of idaho in tho
following proclamation issued Tues
day: M =.
"Whereas, November IL takes It's
place among the memorable dates
of history as the anniversary OF the
signing of the armistice which
brought to a conclusion the great
World War, and with each recurrence
of this day the people of America
will recall with feelings of gratitude
and pride the sacrifices made by our
soldiers and sailors to uphold the
honor and glory of their country, and,
"Whereas, on the days of special
significance in the annals of che ma
ton it is laudable to give expression
to sentiments in harmony with the
occasion;
"Now, therefore, I, D. w. Davis,
governor of the state of Idaho, do
hereby designate Thursday, Novem-
ber II, 1920, Armistice day, and pro
claim it holiday throughout the
state of Idaho, to be observed by the
people in a spirit of thankfulness for
past triumphs in the cause OF justice
and in prayer that divine providence
may continue to guide America to
righteous victories"
Joke on County Officers
The editor of this paper called the
county auditors office several days
ago and asked if they had any infor-
nation in regard to the matter and
was informed that the day is not a
legal holiday in Idaho. County Of
ficers were at their places in their
offices today when the information
was received at this office that the
day is legal holiday and the offices
were notified. It was decided to
close for the remainer of the day,
but the joke is that the employees put
in half day that was not required
under the proclamation.

"My Dear Young Friend:
at gives me pleasure to tell yor
of my deep appreciation of the in
ptelligence and conscientious manner
in which you, as member of the
Boy Scouts of America, have secured
subscriptions for Thrift and Wal
Savings Stamps.
"You have won the distinction of
having secured more such subscrip-
tions during the 1918 War Savings
Campaign than any other Scout in
your State.
"You have exercised courage, cour-
tesy, thought and untiring effort and
in so doing have set an example for
all boys-an example that will sure
ly aid in the growth of valuable
qualities of mind and heart.
"I thank you in the name of the
whole country and | wish to convey
to your parents, your community
and your Boy Scout organization, my
appreciation of the training that has
developed in you such fine spirit of
wholesomeness and loyal citizenship
Cordially and sincerely yours,
"WOODROW WILSON"
Over $45,000,OOO worth of Thrift
and Savings Stamps were sold by
Boy Scouts in the 1918 campaign.
The best record was made by G..
Schuyler Tarbell of Ithaca, New

WILSON COMMENDs
MANY BOY SCOUTS
IDAHO BOY SCOUTS AMONG THE
FIFTY THREE RECEIVING LET
TIERS FROM PRESIDENT.

WASHINGTON Wilson
signed today personal letters of con-
graduation and commendation to So
Boy Scouts shattered throughout the
states, territories and possessions of
the U. S. The letters were addressed
to the Scouts who made the best rec
ord in the sale of Thrift and War
Savings Stamps in their various
states during the 1918 Savings Cam
paign. These tokens of personal
recognition of the service of the
youngsters were delayed first by the
Presidents trip to France, and later
by his campaign in behalf of the Lea
que of Nations and his serious ill
ness.
However, the President never for
got his agreement with the boys of
America to supply these prizes for
their efforts, and he dictated and
signed the letters at the earliest pos
sible moment his duties and his
health would permit, in order that
his part of the contract might be
fulfilled.
The delay has added to the value
of these tokens in the eyes of lucky
recipients and the letters, undoubted-
ly, will give added impetus to their
efforts and those of their fellow
Scouts in the campaign to promote
savings and investment in Govern
ment Savings securities which now
is on progress throughout the coun-
try, and which Secretary of the
Treasury Houston has announced
will continue throughout the next
year.

IDAHO UNIVERSITY
INTERESTING PROGRAM REM
DERED-BURTON L. FRENCH
SPOKE-DANCE TONIGHT.

Regardless of personal opinions as
to WlseneSS or unwisenesS of the
voter actions at the recent election
this action is accepted by all to mean
that the American people did not
favor the league of nations. To hand
lie international relations and to more
definitely outline international law
| believe that some form of an inter-
national council should be formed y
declared Congressman Burton l..
French today in an address at the
Armistice Day program at the Uni
versity of Idaho.
Sentiment against large standing
armies is quite strong in this country
which is admirable, said Mr.. French,
"but to maintain honorable peace we
must be firm, ready and efficient
while exerting our efforts towards
this end"
The days program was opened
shortly after nine o'clock by the fir
ing of salute and flag raising
ceremony by members of the univer-
sity A. E. f. club. The cadet bat
talon was then reviewed by the over
seas men, after which a program was
held in the auditorium

ed on the Rev. W. S. Snoddy to de-
liver the invocation, after which he
introduced Dean Francis A. Thomson

the idealistic qualities Of the Ameri-
can soldier or of the field for good
that was open for them Several
numbers were played by the univer-
sity orchestra during the program.
Overseas men held banquet for
themselves and ladies at $3.50 p. M
at the Guild hall, after which they
gave an "all-college" dance at the

AUSTRIAN PEASANTS
DEMAND GARDEN PLOTS

vIENNA-(By A. P.)-Cultiva-
tors of the garden plot allotments on
government land near this city are
agitating to secure title to their hold
ings. There are about 10000 of these
plots, each of about 500 square feet
on the slopes of the great Vienna for
est forest and the cultivators have
organized to get title and permission
to build huts.
While expressing it's sympathy
with them the government officials
replied to a great demonstration
held the other day that they were
opening up the whole question of
land expectation, delicate issue be-
tween the two dominant parties, and
one on which the demonstrators
themselves are divided when it comes
to applying it to private estates.

UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO WINS
ARM|ST|CE DAY GAME AT BOISE
Five Thousand Saw Game

~ t1u
Five Thousand Saw Game
More than five thousand persons
had crowded through the gates one
hour before the game opened and
many came later. The crowd was
full of enthusiasm and Idaho "root-
ers" predominated. The alumni as
sociation had done good work in
arousing interest in the game and
with the few university people pres
-ent, led the yelling and the demon
stration for Idaho. At the end of the
first half the University Of Idaho
band led "serpentine" march thru
the field and hundreds of persons
from central and southern Idaho join
e. The yell leaders from the univer-
sity kept the crowd roofing" for Ida
no from start to finish.
Utah Was Well Represented
There were many srooters" from
Salt Lake and other Utah points at
the game and these cheered Justify
for the Salt Lake team. But the big
part of the crowd plainly showed its
sympathy for Idaho.
Matinee Dance A Success
One of the largest crowds ever
J6lulIlcQ lIlCO CSSdIl udll IlllCo tllO
building this afternoon for the ear
mistice day matinee dance and the
receipt of returns from the ball
game. A volunteer orchestra of ex-
pert musicians from the university
furnished splendid music and dancing
was indulged in by the young men
and young w1nen between the receipt
of messages from the "battle field"
at Boise. When the returns, which
came in "play by play" were read
through a megaphone, the dancers
cheered wildly whenever Idaho was
shown to have made a good play.
When a message was received the
music and dancing stopped until it
was read and the crowd had cheered,
when both were resumed, only to stop
when the next message came.
Idaho won from Utah at Boise to-
day in one of the closest, prettiest
and most hotly contested foot ball
game of the season. The first two
quarters, were played without a
score, Utah leading Idaho on yard
age, making 131 yards to 106 for Ida
no, but neither team was able to
make touchdown.
In the third quarter after a hard
fight Utah tried place kick but fail
ed. Idaho got the ball and secured
a pace kick, or field goal, making
the score at the end of the third
quarter, to nothing in Idaho's favor.
In the fourth quarter s'Huck" Bra
shears carried the ball across Utah's
goal line for touchdown, amid wild
enthusiasm and Irving kicked goal,
while the crowd again went wild
when the score board posted the
score: "Idaho 10, Utah, o."

year 1919 made liza farm visits
During those visits they had the
pleasure of being invited to look
at dozens of herds. 1t is a signal
fact, however, that one could count
on the fingers of one hand the
number Of times that they were in
vited to look at herd where there
was not pure bred bull some
where around.
1t is a satisfaction to own
good herd Of cattle. After all, the
main thing we get out of life is
satisfaction and the knowledge
that we are doing something worth
while. From this standpoint, the
farmer who has the we'll bred herd
is bountifully rewarded.
1t is the Right Thing to do
Get the community spirit. 1t
is noticeable that the best farmers
are those who have the community
spirit, that is, those farmers who
are interested in improving the
farming conditions of their COM
munity. They not only own pure
bred bull and a well bred herd,
but they are concerned that their
neighbor has one equally as good.
They appeared that ultimately it
is going to make for better dairy
industry in the community and a

1t is Economical

In the first place the use of a
pure bred bull is economical. The
following abstract taken from a
pamphlet issued by the Holstein-
Friesian Association of America
will corroborate this statement.
"The average of all the records
made by first generation heifers,
sired by pure bred sire, shows an
increase Of 29S7.S2 lbs. milk, or
80 per cent in milk, and $3.50 lbs.
fat or SO per cent in fat, over the
record of their scrub dams"
1t is interesting to quote furth-
er from this same pamphlet, just
suppose that bull sires but ten
daughters averaging over their
dams no better than the poorest
of these four hundred twenty-one
daughters on which the expert
ment was conducted. This poor
est bettered her dam by 1000 lbs.
milk per year, easily worth $32;
and ten such cows would better
the yearly income by $500. But
a cow is MIXED for six or seven
years, and the ten cows would in
that time better their dams by at
least $4,000. If a bull bought for
5000 brings in $4,000, does he
pay? What is the real value of a
good bull that sires for his owners
possibly 200 daughters during his
lifetime?"

PURE BRED
BULL PROJECT
SETS FARMERS
THINKING
Expert Urges Everyone to Get
into the Spirit Of the
Campaign

Col. George Baxter, the famous
Holstein auctioneer of New Hol-
stein bull calf sale to be held at
Middletown at 1 100 o'clock Fri
. day, March 5, where thirty head
of high-class Holstein bull calves
will go under the hammer.
This pure bred bull sale, the
purpose of which is to supplant
the grade and scrub bulls of the
state with pure breds, has set
many Delaware farmers to think
ing.
Why Have a Pure Bred Bull?
Why should | have a pure bred
bull at the head of my herd?
This is a question that every farm
er should ask himself at this time
and strive to answer it conscien-
tiously as it pertains to his own
business.
The question as to whether
there is~a need for better sires in
the State is superfuous, as a re-
cent bull survey in New Castle
County showed that 92T of the
bulls are grades and scrubs.
When it is considered that there
are $500 farms in New Castle
County and 10000 in the State is
is evident that there is an infinite
field in which to work along these
lines.
