MAKE FARMERS FEEL WELCOME.

MAKE FARMERS FEEL WELCOME
Next Monday the annual Farmers
and Housekeepers week at the Univer
sity of Idaho will begin and continue
until Saturday evening. 1t is hoped
to have 1000 visitors in Moscow dur
ing the week. In addition to the "bie
show in the main tent" there will be
the tractor school, which opened last
Monday with 70 enrolled, and the La
tab county farm bureau will hold its
annual meeting Monday.
The farmers are the real wealth
producers of the world and this is es-
pecially true of the Palouse country.
We, who are engaged in other pur-
suits, are also, producers, but no line
of work is as important as that Of the
farmers, who produce what we eat
and what we wear. The farmers are
coming to Moscow with their wives
and their sons and their daughters to
spend week here in getting acquaint-
ed with their school, the University of
idaho and it's agricultural college.
They are coming to learn some things
they cannot learn on the farms, but
they will also teach us many things
we would not learn elsewhere-provid-
In order to learn from them we must
take an interest in them and in their
work. They are coming as the guests
of the University of Idaho and the
City of Moscow. Let us make them
welcome.
Every session held at the Univer-
sity of Idaho ought to be attended by
many Moscow citizens, both men and
women. The farmers are coming here
with their wives and daughters. The
wives and daughters of Moscow's bus
mess and professional men should be
there to greet them and to learn from
them and to make them feel that we
are really interested in them.
If they come here and find that
this great event, which has been so
freely advertised, does not interest
Moscow people, they will decide that
it is not worth attending. If the peo-
pie of Moscow cannot go a few blocks
to attend the lectures and demonstra
tions and other exercises. these peo-
pie will think they are not worth COM
ing miles to attend.
1t is duty, but it will prove
pleasant one, for Moscow citizens,
with their wives and their daughters
to attend the sessions. And don't
think that we, who live in town, under
the very shadow of the university, do
not need to go there and learn. We
can learn many things that will be
highly beneficial to us and we can,
BY our presence and our support, help
t is doing, and make the visitors feel
hat we realize it is doing a great
york and we want to do S'our bit" to
lelp that work along. 1t is to be
loped that every session next week
will see Moscow we'll represented.
SHOULD GREET BISHOP JOHNSON.
Moscow is to be honored tomorrow
y visit from Bishop Johnson of the
Episcopal church. Through the eff
orts of the loyal pastor of ST. Marks
hurch, who has never missed an OPP
Ortunity to help in any forward
Movement for Moscow, the church is
onsidering the plan of spending $780,
20 for a new church, rectory and
otel for students of the University of
lahO. Surely no one will say that
lese are not needed or that they will
IT help MOSCOW and the university. 4
Bishop Johnson comes to look over
e land, ascertain conditions and see
the church will be justified in do
G what is asked of it, If he comes :
re and finds little interest among
Q citizens of Moscow; finds them
ike warm" or Indifferent toward the
oject, we may rest assured that he 1
II not endorse the proposal. If, on (
, other hand, he finds the people I
re fully awake to the Importance 3
this work and willing to support it,
report will be favorable. The
estion Of whether Moscow and the
iversity get this badly needed help
