TO GIVE BENEFIT FOR
CHILDREN OF EUROPE


A worthy enterprise, which should
be freely patronized, is that of the
Kenworthy theatre, which will give
a benefit show next Sunday afternoon,
with seven reels of one of the best
pictures now being shown. The
films are donated by the Universal
Film Corporation. Mr.. Kenworthy do
mates the use of his house, lights and
equipment and his services and the
theatre employees give their services
free. There will be no charge for ad-
mission but every one is asked to
donate what they feel they can af-
ford, and every cent taken in will go
to the relief of the starving children
of Europe The seven reel picture is
worth 81 admission, but people are
permitted to donate what they wish,
feeling assured that every cent will
go to the cause for which it is given.
Spokane theatres recently did this
and raised $4,000. Moscow citizens
are anxious to see the receipts of this
benefit performance reach at least
$500, which will be far in excess of
Spokane's contribution population
considered. Remember the time and
the place and the object. Next Sun
day afternoon, from to o'clock,
at the Kenworthy theatre for the
benefit Of the starving children OF
Europe.

More than 45 farmers of the state
were enrolled in the annual Univer-
sity of Idaho tractor school of two
weeks which closes tomorrow. The
two weeks instruction in the operation
Of small stationary engines, tractor
operation, tractor maintenance, tract

demonstrated were the Fordson, the
Sampson, Twin City, Yuba, Mogul,
and Titan. The machines were taken
apart by the experts and thorough
instruction in carburation, grinding
of valves adjusting of bearings, and
babiting of bearings was given.

G. E. Fevert, formerly connected with
the dairy division of the University

a great deal of pleasure" says Mr..
Frevert. He and Mrs Frevert are

TO PROTECT IDAHO
GRAINS AND GRASSES
UNIVERSITY CEREAL INVEST1-
CATION WORK FOR NATIVE
PLANTS PROGRESSING.

Protection of Idaho grains and
grasses from the ravages of plant
diseases generally and particularly
from attacks of the dangerous stripe
rust is the object of cereal disease in
vestigation work which has just been
begun at the University of Idaho in
cooperation with the office of cereal
investigation of the federal depart
ment of agriculture. This particular
research activity was transferred to
the university from Oregon Agricul-
tural college in order that it might
be placed under direction G. w. Hun
gerford, plant pathologist of the Ida
no experiment station.
"Stripe rust is a comparatively new
cereal disease in this country, the
first evidence of it having been found
in 1916" said Mr.. Hungerford today
in speaking of the work planned. I'm
Europe however, this articular rust
causes heavy damage and department
of agriculture officials feel THAT it
must be checked in the United States
before it is able to gain any substan
tial headway. A large part of the
work we are now contemplating will
be carried on in southern Idaho in
connection with other activity n
plant disease control which has al
ready been inflated in that section of
the state.
Mr. Hpngerford spent two of his
four years of service with the L. S.
department of agriculture in cereal
disease investigation work similar TO
that which ne is now undertaking.

STUDYING
T|MBERS OF IDAHO
FORESTRY SCHOOL MAKING A
STUDY OF VALUE OF DIFFER
ENT WOODS OF STATE.

Reconnaissance studies of univer-
sity timber lands, the introduction of
vocational training in the lumber in
dustry of the state, wide distribution
of forest trees to Idaho citizens and
the completion of several important
research projects have been among
the outstanding 1920 achievements of
the University of Idaho college of
forestry, according to a detailed re-
port recently submitted by Dean F.
G. Miller.
"Unquestionably one of our most
important lines of work started in the
past biennium," said Dean Miller to-
day in speaking of his report" is a
reconnaissance study of the univer-
sity timber lands, the purpose of
which is to determine the amount,
condition and value of the timber
they carry. The university owns more
than 100000 acres of land, large
part of which is heavily timbered
Under proper management, these
lands could be made to yield large
income.
can investigation of the available
ity of wood oils for ore flotation
carried on jointly with the school of
mines has been completed and the
results will soon be available for
publication. This question is likely
to have an important bearing on the
clearing of land
"Dr. Schmitz's series of expert
ments to determine the relative dur
ability of Idaho woods has also been
finished and his report will soon be
released for publication. Additional
projects either have been started or
are planned for the current binnium
SIN cooperation with the director of
vocational education for Idaho, the
school of forestry has been success
full in introducing vocational training
in the lumber industry of the state.
This opens up large field for voca-
tional instruction and promises to
prove decidedly useful in the logging
and milling business.
eve have, of course, continued our
policy of distributing forest trees to
Idaho citizens at cost. Approximate
ly 175,O00 trees have been sent out
in the past two years, the demand for
this service having more than trebled
in the biennium. Although the trees |
sent out have been used for variety
of purposs, it is safe to say that the |
most popular use has been that of
fence post production, our black To-
Gusts having been found peculiarly
well adapted for that purpose.
cit is a pleasure to report that the
school of forestry's enrolment has
been growing steadily. We hope to
be able to keep pace with the states
ever increasing demand for skilled,
trained foresters."

Christians Plan to Build

Having bought the fine lot just east
OF the post office where the taber-
nacle was built last year. the Chris
tian church plans to erect a fine,
modern church building there, to ac-
commodate the rapidly growing mem
bership. Plans for remodeling and
en1arging the old church building
have been abandoned and a fine, new,
modern church will be built. The
price paid for the lot which was
bought from DR.. Wiik. was $4,000. 1t
is one of the best lots in Moscow, oc-
cupying a quarter of a block. Under
the pastorate of the Rev. w. S.
Crockett the Christian church has
made rapid advancement in member
ship and attendance at meetings and
a larger church building is demanded
by the growing institution.

Friday, proved to be fizzle in every

whether the money accompanied the
offer or not.
There is a great deal of dissatis-
faction prevalent both among the
depositors and stockholders who state
they are absolutely at a loss to know
why they are kept in the dark regard
ing the true condition of the institu-
tion. There is movement on foot to
call meeting of the depositors and
select a committee to go before Judge
Scales and ask for competent ac-
countant to be placed in the institu-
ton to secure the information de-
sired. Legal authority states that
this can be done on the proper show
ing to the judge.
Dissatisfaction at the appointment
of special deputy who is to handle
the business, stranger to the COM

value of the assets of the institution
by reason of unfamiliarity with the
country and the prevalent conditions
is also very apparent and it is prob
