arated into two factions. Both pre-
face their theories with the statement,
nothing is impossible and each
chung doggedly to it's pet solution. .
The first faction, including a major
ity of the detectives, said, 'What if the
doors were locked? Some enemy, man
or women, killed Elwell.'
The second, numbering many of Ell
wells former friends and some of
the cleverest detectives, retorted,
I"What if there were no powder burns? ?
Elwell killed himself and someone
who arrived before the police hid the
pistol"
After the funeral, Joseph S. Ell
well, father of the dead man, declar
ed his unfaltering belief that his son
had been murdered.
Elwel1's wife, who admitted she
was contemplating divorce proceed
ings when she heard Of Elwell's death,
adhered to the suicide theory, and ex-
pressed indignation that the racing
man made no provision in his will for
their SON.
During the course of the investiga-
ton Assistant District Attorney Joyce
ordered the detention of Mrs. Larsen,
the housekeeper, as material wit
ness. Many we're convinced that the
woman's anxiety to "avoid scandal"
was concealing evidence which might
lead to the apprehension of the guilty
person. Her release was OrdereI by
District Attorney Swami, who saidthat

peas and oats, beet tops, etc. The
feeds TO be used in different locali-
ties will vary with conditions of eli
mate, available soil moisture, crop
rotations, and other local differences.
There is in general a tendency to use
corn wherever it can be grown sue
cessfully and it no doubt is the SAT-
est, most used, and most reliable
crop utilized. 1t was the first that
proved successful.
Farm bureau members throughout
Idaho are trying experiments to de-
termine the best crops to use for
silage in the various localities of the
state. The results of these expert
ments will be of vital Importance to
the livestock industry of these places.
In general, sunflowers show promise
and will yield more heavily but ap-
parently are of inferior quality to
corn. Where the corn can be grown
to maturity Tor to the dent or gleaz-
ed period) safely it has been consid-
cred the very best silage crop that
could be grown. Experiments may
prove, however, that another crop is
better. .Sunflowers and other crops
will grow where corn cannot be
grown successfully and show
promise of becoming of great i'm
portance to the livestock industry in
those localities.
With the alfalfa weevil spreading
rapidly, the silo becomes a necessity
The crop to grow will vary and will
depend so largely upon the communi-
ty and the local conditions that the
only solution is a well organized
series of experiments planned and
executed by the farmers cooperat-
ing through the farm bureau and by
the aid of the county agricultural
agent. The experiments being tried
this year and others to follow will be
interesting and important. The re-
suits will be conclusive when ex-
periments are carried on over a suf-
ficient period.
The common use of silage has been
as a succulent feed for winter when
the grass is gone and only dry feed
is otherwise. obtainable. Hence it
will likely remain it's greatest use,
but it also is coming into use as
summer feed to supplement or even
take the place of the usual pasture.
In the former use it will certainly
grow in Importance because of the
character of pastures in many
places. In the later use it will be
limited, not because it will not
compete economically with the pas
ture but because of the additional |
labor required. Pasturage is popular
because it helps meet the labor prob /
lem and silage and soiling crops will |
not likely supersede it for sometime,
but there are possibilities for their
doing so eventually. Suggestions for
putting up the crop, time to put in
the crop, ETC., will be given at a
later date. Anyone who has pros
poets for good silage crop this year
can feel fortunate, especially as hay
may again be high priced.
Experience and observation else
where gives assurance that silage
will be increasingly popular in Ida
no. Information on this and other
dairy subjects can be obtained from
the dairy section of the University
extension division.

Is a Hatbox a PASSENGER?

Papa's Spanish blood was fired be-
cause the English woman was sleep
ing in the diminutive railway compart-
lnent. First he tossed lighted match
near the head Of the sleeping woman,
then he demanded that she sit up so
that his daughters and their hatboxes
could be properly accommodated. Ar
thur Stanley Riggs, who describes this
adventure in Going to Leon" in
Travel magazine, was growing more
and more indignant, and indicated
that hatboxes do not belong In seats.
Then, papa became a miniature Vesu-
vius in full eruption. He turned to his
pretty daughter, with an eye full of
choler, and cried: "Sit on her then
Sit on her, my daughter!'

Love affairs long buried were ex-
