ATTEND FARMER WEEK.

ATTEND FARMERS WEEK.
Moscow citizens owe it to them
selves and to the University of Idaho
and to the farmers and their familie.
who will be here January 10 to "a, te
attend the sessions of the Farmers
and Housekeepers' week. These PEG
pie are coming from the farms tc
attend this convention, or school, ant
q fine program has been arranged
Dean Iddings has wisely said: "If
they come here and find no Moscow
people in attendance they will decide
that Moscow is taking no interest in
the university or in the farmers who
come here" We cannot afford to
let such an impression as that become
general.
Every Moscow business man who
can do so should spend some time at
the sessions of this shourt course.
There will be some very interesting
and instructive talks and every one
of US can learn something useful
there. The farmers who come to at
tend this school should become pat
rons of Moscow business houses and
it will not only be courtesy, but good
business for the business men to at
tend, get acquainted with these visit
ers and invite them to see Moscow's
stocks of goods before leaving town.
The AID. club has announced that
it will take this matter in hand and
President Ogden has stated that he
would have committees to call on the
business men each day and see that
certain of them attend each session.
No business man can attend all of
them but every business man can at
tend some of them and by alternat-
ing we can have a fair representation !
of Moscow business men and other
citizens at each session and that will
show our appreciation of the grand
work being done by the university
and will show the farmers who come
that the great school has the support
of the citizens of Moscow. We can
not expect outsiders to take a greater
interest in the school than we take
in it.
Herbert Hoover has announced that
he will not be a candidate for the
presidential nomination on any
ticket. This is a wise decision. The
American people would never care to
have for president a man who. as
national food administrator, could put
a maximum price on wheat and flour
but could not fix a maximum price on
a dozen flour substitutes and per-
mitted profiteering which resulted in
of dollars of illicit profits !
to the manufacturers of and dealers |
IN flour substitutes. Mr.. Hoover NAV !
have done wonders in feeding starv-
ing Europe, but his record on the
Flour and wheat flour substitute I
matters could never be forgotten bv +
the millions of American voters who =
felt the injustice of his rulings.
In ea "a
N. Williamson certainly deserves T.
for the enterprise shown in his
livestock ventures. Mr.. Williamson
has brought to Latah county some X
# the very best breeding animals in
he entire northwest. He has spared
pains nor expense to secure
very best to be had. His Short
lorn cattle are said by experts to be
lnexcelled in the west and the same
tru of his hogs. His receipt today
( a Duroc Jersey sow, 1917 months
Id, weighing 440 pounds, means
,uch to the hog industry of the west,
or she will furnish sires for many
erds and dams for other herds. The
of such a SOW is a matter
{ Importance and will help every
reeder of Duroc hogs in the north
