FIRST GAME WILL:
Be PLAYED TODAY
HIGH SCHOOL BASKET BALL
SEASON OPENS AGAINST
EMMETT.

With long hard schedule ahead,
the Caldwell high school basket ball
team opens the southwestern Idaho
interscholastic league schedule Friday
night here with Emmett. No dope"
is available upon which to forecast
the outcome of the game or formulate
strength of the two teams. Caldwell
has quintet composed largely of last
falls football men who employ about
the same tactics on the basket ball
floor that they used last fall in wallop-
ing Boise and Nampa. Lack Of prac-
tice and change of coaches has al
most in mid season been regarded as
handicaps to developing anything re-
sembling team work.
Alden Hyde, for four years a mem
Der of the University of Idaho quin-
tet, has been engaged to take up the
coaching work left by Clyde French
when the latter rendered his resigna-
ton to the school board just before
the Christmas holidays Some Of the
high school men who are daily work
ing out and who show considerable
promise are Simms, Brock, Verne and
"Roscky" Payne. Robinson Teach
Olson. Royce and Cash Nichol. The
lineup for the Friday game has not
been announced.
In as much as championships will
this year be determined upon a per.
centage basis rather than relying
wholly upon the interscholastic tourn.

to the probable outcome of the cleo

is presumed that this means has been
taken to formulate some idea of the
popularity of both the treaty and the
league among the people at large! a
matter that has been the subject of
much controversy in Washington cir
cles. Nothing in the line of a straw
vote has yet been attempted to show
exactly what the sentiment of the
American people is in regard to the
matter and it is believed that this step
was taken for that purpose.
1t is felt at the College of Idaho
that the vote of the student body there
will represent quite accurately the Ida
ho stand on both documents. It,is
apparent that a real fight will be
waged at the college during the course
of the next few days in behalf of each
of the four propositions. Partisanship
is barred from entering the discussion.

TAKE STEPS TO
.KEEP0UTFEVER
School Board Insists Middleton
Children Present Health
Statements

Following discovery OF an alleged
case of scarlet fever in the high school
the school board at special meeting
held Monday evening decided tina, to
prevent the introduction of an cpl
demic from Middleton from which,
the case came, all children coming
from there be required to bring let
ter from their parents asserting tina,
the child has had neither scarlet fever
or the SO called rose rash before
they will be permitted to reenter the
local high school.
About II or IS Middleton children
are taking advantage of Caldwell ed
ucational facilities and will be sub
jected to this regulation. Discovery
of that particular case which resuneu
in the Investigation and the order
from the school board was made by
Miss Ida Convey, school nurse. Ac-
cording to local physicians, this in
stance was sufficient to more than
offset the salary paid to Miss Convey
in value to the community. The girl
in question was discovered BY Miss
Convey to be recovering from an erup-
ton that indicated scarlet fever to her.
Questioning revealed that some Mid
dleton physician had informed the CIR,
or given her the impression that she
was suffering from rose rash" pre-
sumably a harmless skin disease.
Don't Know Rose RASH"
According to local physicians.
there is no such disease and the chill
dren who had been suffering from so
called rose rash" undoubtedly had
scarlet fever. 1t is understood that
the disease is quite prevalent in Mid
dleton. Action was taken by the
school board to prevent it becoming
epidemic in Caldwell.
In the event a child has had the dis
ease, it will be necessary for them to
provide statement from the county
physician, DR.. I. d. Farrer, to the eff
feet that he has made a personal ex-
animation and that the patient has SO
far recovered that no possibility exists
of spreading the disease. Nothing
else will serve under those conditions
Rose RASH is regarded here as a
mild form of scarlet fever.
Asked if there was any small pox,
in Caldwell, DR.. F. M. Cole, who Is
city physician as we'll as member OF
the school board said that there were
few mild cases but that no appre-
hension was felt regarding them. But
we don't want any scarlet fever" he
continued.

LONDON, June 3--Trade negotia-
tons between the Allies and Gregory
Krassin, Russian Soviet Minister Of
Trade and Commerce, have not begun
yet, according to Premier Lloyd George
IN the House of Commons to- day.
Replying to food of insistent que
rles; the Premier said there were Ger
tam questions Great Britain wanted
cleared out Of the way before it would
undertake negotiations. Russia must
guarantee that there will be no attacks
on British interests in the East or at
nome while negotiations are proceeding.
ne declared, and must guarantee to re
tease an british prisoners, whether civil
or military. After these questions are
settled negotiations may proceed.
representatives of the French and
Italian governments are in London.
Inc Premier was asked whether the
negotiations had been sanctioned by
france and Italy. The question of Nj.
hrassln credentials and whom he rep
resents also was raised.
He replied that the decision of the
supreme Council to promote trade with
Kussla had been made public. At San
Reno the, Supreme Council decided to
authorize Allied representatives to
meet NJ krassin and Russian trade
oe-egatlon, excepting Maxim Litvinotf,
IN London as soon as possible, with a
view to beginning immediately trade
relations between Russia and other
countries through the Russian cooper

mler, that the Allied delegates were
prepared to discuss with the Russian
delegates the best method of removing.

authority of the Soviet government
One of the members asked whether
krassin was not originally q German
agent. The Premier said he did not
think he was, but that he was associ-
ated with a German firm of cleo
tricians
The member inquired whether it
could be taken that the perturbation of
the French public was without founda-
tion and that the negotiations were
being conducted by all the Allies. The
Premier replied:
Il am not aware that there is great
perturbation in France. The mere fact
that some French newspapers are try
ing to cause ferment between two
friendly and allied countries, whose
friendliness is essential in the interest
Of the world, is no proof Of rench
perturbation"
This was received with cheers.

u. s. VIII Block
Trade With Russia
Goods for Re-export to
Souiet viii Not Be
Sold to Allied Nations

WASHINGTON, June 3-The United
States will be represented unofficaly y
at the forthcoming conference at Lon
don between Gregory Krassin, Bolshe-
vik Minister of Trade and Commerce,
and representatives of the Supreme
Economic Council, it was said to- day
by officials here.
The presence of an unofficial Ameri-
can observer at the conference, it was
said, would not mean that the United
States had changed its position with
regard to resumption of trade with
Bolshevik Russia and that any change
was in contemplation.
Officials explained that the purpose
was to keep in touch with the negotia-
tions and with the views of other ma
tions on the question.
Consul General Skinner at London,
it is understood, probably will be the
American representative.
Should Great Britain or other Euro
pean countries decide to resume com
mercial relations with the Bolsheviki
the United States, it was said, will
block any sale Of rolling stock to for
cign governments for resale to Russia.
Locomotives and cars are understood
to constitute the greatest need of the
Bolsheviki, and efforts to obtain such
materials through Esthonia have been
halted by this government. The United
States, it was said, is the only market
which could possibly offer delivery Of
rolling stock this year, as the Baltic
ports will be icebound by early fall
and delivery from other countries
would not be possible before spring.
