RAINS IMPROVE
IDAHO'S CROPS

"Altho the average temperature
for the week ending Tuesday, June
Is, was little lower than narmal,"
says Clinton E. Norquist, head of the
Idaho weather bureau in his weekly
weather report. 1.-The weather was
warmer than that of last week and
light rains in many localities greatly
improved growing conditions
The report continues:
"The weather was quite favorable
for all crops, which generally show
Improvement and good growth, and
for the most part there was little in
terruption of farm activities, altho
the showers did interfere with hay
ing to some extent in few localities.
Wheat, barley, rye and oats are
all doing we'll; the early sown wheat
and rye are heading, and oats and
barley are reported in the boot in
several localities.
ut was good week for all fruits.
Growth was rapid. The prospect for
heavy crop of apples and prunes
has not deteriorated. Strawberries
are plentiful and of excellent quail
ity. Cherries are coloring rapidly
and will soon be ready to pick.

Fatal Morning
(By Universal Service)

NEW YORK.-Joseph B. Elwell,
murdered turfman, was in his home
at 2.3O o'clock on the morning he
was found dying in chair in the
reception room of his home, a bullet
wound in the center Of his forehead.

elusive information to this effect the
authorities Sunday night said they
were attempting to reach John
Isdale, a neighbor, who said he saw
a man leap from a black roadster
and enter the Elwell home at 3.45 on
the Friday morning Elwell was found
slain.
"a citizen has come forward and
informed is that he talked to Elwell
on the telephone at 2.30 a. m. that
morning, that he was at home and
did not appear in the least excited or
nervous" John T. Dooling, assistant
district attorney, said tonight.
The assistant district attorney said
the authorities were now anxious to

SCIENCE BADLY
HANDICAPPED
Shortage of Microscopes
Causes Inconvenience
to Scientists

CHICAGO.-The United States
has had a shortage of sugar, short
age of flour, shortage of ships and
all kinds of shortages. Now one
more shortage has about arrived
shortage of microscopes.
The "eye of SCIENCE" as the. micro
scope is known, is becoming very
essential, and a shortage in the in
struments will be serious trouble,
for they are used to give the once
over to. everything from potato bugs
to battleships.
The lack of the instruments and
their Importance in everyday life
was recently made known by DR.. V.
A. Lamar, recording secretary of the
Illinois States. Microscopical society.
Were going to fall behind as a
nation" DR.. Lamar said. 1--WE
haven't enough microscopes. Most
of our microscopes came from Eu-
rope particularly Germany. Now,
with the tax on imported microscopes
so high, we are using our own, and
they are in the main inferior grades.
Inferior work is bound to be done.
And inferior microscopic work
doesn't mean merely something per-
tanning to medicine.
THE microscope is used today in
nearly every industry. All the great
manufacturing plants employ eX-
perts. Grain is inspected with it,
steel, iron, seed, cloth, insect life.
ct isn't that we haven't the neces-
sary materials for the manufacture
of microscopes that is causing the
shortage. A sand deposit has just
been found in Michigan which is
probably as good as any in Europe
for optical purposes. But we don't
recognize the vital part played by
our microscopial experts. We UNI
derpay them. We underpay the men
who construct as well as those who
use them.
eff we are to advance as nation
and not fall behind even broken
Europe we must pay more attention
to our skilled workmen and not con-
centrate on our laborers."

CONTEST LOOM
BEFORE HEADS
Democratic. National
Committee Faces
Problems

SAN FRANC1SCO.-Two contests
leom before the Democratic national
committee when it meets Friday to
prepare for the opening of the ma
tional convention.
One involves the question raised
concerning Senator James Reed Of
Missouri, who has been sited as the
representative of his district, the
fifth, Kansas City, of his state.
The point to be raised, according
to wor dreceived, is that of the juris-
diction between the state and. the
district conventions. Senator Reed
was unseated by the state convention
but his district has upheld his place
on the Missouri delegation.
The other prospective contest is
over the twenty-eight delegates from
Georgia, claimed by Attorney Gen.
eral Mitchell Palmer and by United
States Senator Hoke Smith and
Thomas Watson group. The Smith
Watson delegation comes with W. j..
Vereen as their candidate for ma
tional committeeman as against
Clark Howell, who was chosen by the
Palmer forces.
The question raised is on the ap-
plciation of the Georgia primary
election law to a presidential pre-
sidential preference primary not
provided for specifically in the state
primary statutes.
The national committee will re-
ceive the report of the committee on
arrangements for the convention,
which includes the recommendation
for officers of the convention.
Homer S. Cummins is announced
as the choice for chairman of the
convention.
The convention will be called to
order at noon Monday, June %, by
]. Bruce Krencr, vice-chairman OF
the national committee.

Colby Does Not
Want Chair of
Frisco Meeting

WASHINGTON.-The announce
ment that Secretary of State Colby
does not desire to be chairman OF
the Democratic national convention
at San Francisco is taken at its full
face value here, and 1t is assumed
that he is going to the convention to
play quite different and more diff
ficult and important role.
He will leave Washington Monday
evening.
Senator Carter Glass is said to
have in his pocket various planks
for the platform, but these do not
include the plank on foreign relations
or policies.
Republicans think that as Secre-
tary Colby is to be an integral part
Of the convention, his influence will
be needed by the president in the
shaping of the announcements as to
the administration at Paris. The OPP
position idea is that the Wilson ad-
ministration has been arraigned most
severely and successfully so far on
the proposition of it's having become
entangled in European politics, it
will require something new and con-
vincing to remove that conviction
from the minds of the mass of vot-
ers and even of some people who are
delegates tb the convention and who
are supposed to have gone tire Elm
structed" by the administration.
The Republicans reason that if
there is anybody in Washington or
in the United States who can best
explain the foreign entanglements
to the committee on platforms at
San Francisco, it is cambridge Colby
secretary of state.

capitalistic society which he feels
TO be crushing him within its folds.
A very little imagination is needed
to conjure up the accompaniments,
the immediate and visual accompani-
ments, of this supreme outrage in
flicted upon itself or tolerated by a
society which, although in dissolu-
expire.
Its ultimate result will be regis
ton, may yet take a long time to
tered in bloodshed, cruel injustices,
uprisings, repressions, sanguinary
racial struggles from one end of AZ
RIGA to the other; in misery for
countless innocent African communi-
ties, and horrors unimaginable for
many Europeans.
Meanwhile it will intesify to an
abnormal degree all the evils which
find their root in racial antipathies.
The European and African are
alike the victim of this policy.
In the last resort Europe can pro-
tect herself. Not so Africa, which is
helpless unless the workers of Eu-
rope, and especially Of Britain, citi-
zens of an empire upon which the
sun never sets, acquire the convic-
ton that they cannot, must not, dis
sociate themselves from the fate of
the colored races at the hands of
the governing classes of their own
empire, and of other imperial Eu-
ropean states.

REGAL ROBES ARE
WORN BY NAZIMOVA
Costumes of Star in
The Red Lantern
Worth Fortune

Robes of regal splendor are worn
by Nazimova in her newest super
feature, "The Red Lantern" which
comes to the Orpheum theatre to-
day and tomorrow. Among these
robes is the heavy silken garb of
the goddess of the red lantern and
the awe-inspiring habiliaments of
Chinese warrior chief.
For Mahlee, the half Chinese, half
English girl, played by Nazimova,
bears a not remote resemblance to
Frances Joan of Arc. True, she
leads hopeless cause, that of the
Boxers against the European in Chi
ma And her heart is torn between
the love she bears for an English
man and the ancient traditions of
the yellow race.
Nazimova wears warriors cos
tune during the tumultuous scenes
in the streets of Pekin, when the
Boxers clash with the troops of the
allied nations sent to quell the up
rising. Mounted as was the immor-
tai Joan dare, Mahlee leads the
yellow hordes against their white
foes until all hope is gone. Then,
with The stoicism of the oriental
blood, she seeks death by her own
hand in the the throne room of the
emperor's palace.
The warriors costume, striking
robe of embroidered silk, with the
head of a lion depending from the
waist, is apparel worn only by those
of the Chinese who stand ready to
give their lives for the race. The
lions head is the highest symbol of
valor at arms.
The robes are of the heaviest
Chinese silk, embroidered with a
thousand designs. On her head Ma
Zimova wears the symbolical head
dress of the goddess, studded with
peacock feathers and dozens of silk
floss pompoms-the whole held in
place by a band of gold embroidery
that circles the forehead and tenn
pies
''The Red Lantern is based on
the novel of Chinese life by Edith
Wheery.-Adv.

When the Children of Israel
Wanted to go on a Hike

Pharaoh slipped a message to the boys that
if they would undo the frog stunt and say
nothing about it to the voters he would give
them season tickets to the chautauqua and
Junior tickets for all the hddies They agreed
to it, but didn't make him furnish the tickets
until they had undone the frog stunt, and then
he double-crossed them. He thought he would
make them pay at the gate and fool the guar
antors but they stuck him. See Exodus, chap
ter 8, 18th verse.
Now folks, If you don't want to buy season
tickets, you don't need to on our account. The
frog crop may be a little shy but We have
plenty Of those fine beefsteaks all properly
rfpened for chautauqua week, and ON Friday
there will be fish usual, only more SO. We
will be on the job wrapping them up, wheth-
er the guarantors get "stuck" or not, and for
your orders we thank you.

They could not get permission from Pharaoh,
who was at that time acting commissioner OF
immigration and labor. Moses was young
fellow holding the rank of scoutmaster, and
his brother Aaron had sufficient pull to be
appointed senior patrol leader. When they told
Pharaoh they wanted to hold sort Of chau-
tauqua at different places on the hike, he said
there was nothing doing, and for them to stay
home and irrigate and hoe the sugar beets. So
the brothers had little heaart to heart talk
with the Lord and they went out and did
some stunts and Matched frogs and froglets'
everywhere. They swarmed all out of doors,
and hoped around in the houses, on the CEN
ter tables, doilies, got in the bread trays
and fireless cookers, sat ON the pillows and slid
down the horn Of the photograph, sang "Near-
or My God to Thee" and had a heck Of
time. You see the frogs were next!

Chicago. Sept. 16. - Wheat-Altho
wheat was supported by brokers that
usually act for the seaboard. western
cash interests sold enough to bring
fair decline in prices. The weak
ness in corn no doubt had something
to do with the break. but probably
the principal cause was an easier
tone in cash wheat in all markets.
Figures on the Canadian crop, issued
yesterday, exceeded previous esti-
mates.
Corn-The same conditions that
broke the market the previous days
| of this week were operative today.
but tho most pronounced weakness
was in the September delivery. the
country was again offering cash corn
! freely. Weather conditions and the
forecast were favorable to the grow
ing crop. The weakness of the stu
| alton is now becoming so apparent
that doubtless the selling is being
overdone.
Oats-Made better showing, be-
ing at no time as weak as corn. There
| were intimations of export. bids in
the market but no actual sales abroad
