bers of the family The funeral will

HUGE SKELETON UNEARTHED
Indiana Produces Bones of Man
Believed to Have Been Mound
Builder.

Indianapolis, Ind.-The complete
skeleton of one of Indiana's Oldest in
habitants, said by Dr.W. N. Logan, state
geoIogist, to be that Of a mound build
er, has been placed in the state mu-
scum.
The skeleton, more than six feet in
height, was found by t. G. Heistant
of Bloomington and Dick Guernsey OF
Bedford, in excavatfg prehistoric
mound near the east fork of White
river, in Lawrence county. Doctor Lo-
gan says the time when the mound
builders inhabited Indiana cannot be
determined as to years, but that it was
a long period before the first record
of the Indians is certain.
The mound from which the body
was taken was in the form OF a
square with a vault system construct
ed of slabs Of limestone. The skele-
ton was lying as buried, with all parts
intact, and in position, with the ex-
ception of some Of the more fragile
parts.

UNIVERSITY EXPERIMENT
REDUCES W0RMY APPLES

BY practical application of findings
of the university experiment station
T. George Hislop of Twin Falls has
harvested his apple crop with the
wormy apples reduced to a rate OF
one-twentieth of one per cent. In
packing 1851 boxes, Mr.. Hislop found
exactly 92 wormy apples-a ratio OF
one wormy apple to 1900 good ones.
To casin, a creamery by-product
used in the spray to make it spread
evenly over each apple, is attributed
this unusual record. Hislop's or
chard was sprayed this year under
the cooperation of the experiment
station in order to test the efficiency
of casin as a spreader.
"In every respect the treatment
given this orchard can be given to
any orchard" said Entomologist r.
II. Smith OF the experiment station
staff. "An ordinary sprayer, several
years old, was used. Pressure was
kept at $50 pounds, insuring an even
spray. Spraying was always done at
the time advised"

HEADQUARTERS FARM
BUREAU ARE MOVED
ORGANIZATION HIS ACCOMPLISH.
ED NOTABLE WORK IN LATAH
COUNTY.

The office of the Latah county farm
bureau and of o. S. Fletcher, county
agricultural agent, has been moved
from the offices of the Farmers Union
company, on south Main street, to
the Ostroot office, on Fifth street, in
the former Shields e Franz building
The matter of moving the office has
been under consideration for some
time, as the Farmers Union company
was in need of all the room in their
building. Also, the officials of the
farm bureau felt that the union was
subjected to unjust criticism by some
who professed to believe that the two
organizations were working together,
whereas, they are entirely distinct.
N. Williamson, president of the farm
bureau, informs The Star-Mirror that
during the three years since the bu-
reau was organized, it has been given
quarters free of charge by the Far
mers Union, for the purpose of aid
ing the work Of the bureau and he
believes that the management is en-
titled to credit for this liberality.
The Latah county farm bureau was
organized strictly as an educational
institution, and is in no wise COM
mercial. Through the organization
the farmers may cooperate with the
college of agriculture and the expert
ment station and with the United
States department of agriculture.
Under the able management of 0. S.
Fletcher, county agent, remarkable
results have been obtained, in the
way of the eradication of squirrels
and noxious weeds, the raising of bet
ter grain and livestock and general
betterment of conditions and prac-
tices The farmers of the county have
taken kindly to the proposition and
organizations have been perfected at
every center. Farmers from any
part of the county who\ are in Mos
COW are cordially invited by Mr..
Fletcher to call at his new quarters
and discuss any matters of interest in
with farm work.

GOES TO HUNT GOAT BEAR
Los Angeles Collector Of Wild Animals
Sails for Indo-China on
Unusual Quest.

San Francisco.-D. S. Rabb, Los
Angeles, collector Of rare Wild anil
mails has sailed from San Francisco
this week for Cambodia, Indo-China,
where he will penetrate the jungles In
search of the goat bear.
The goat bear, according to Rabb,
has seldom been seen by white men
and has never been captured alive,
although he says he saw the skin OF
one of the animals on his last visit.
Whether the animal is bear with the
horns of a goat or goat with the
claws of bear, Rabb is not sure.
To add to the difficulty Of obtain
ing this rare beast the natives refuse
to aid in it's capture on account of a
superstition that one who sees it is be-
witched, says Rapi

TO DO BATTLE
WITH v. S. C. YEARL|NGS

Football fans will have an excellent
Idaho Frosh team in action next Fri
day when MacMillan's and Neidig's
proteges meet the w. S. G. Frosh
here on the fairgrounds field. The
game will start at o'clock.
Past history regarding the fresh
man games between Idaho and w. S.
G. is not exactly the most pleasant
thing in the world but as result of
the strenuous alumni drive to bring
more material to Idaho, this year the
Idaho Frosh bid fair to make an un-
usual record.

under actual game conditions, the
Idaho Frosh held the varsity to one
lone touchdown, and once the year.
lings came within an ace of scoring.
AS usual. w. S. c. has big, power
full string of Frosh who in every way
are equal to many second rate varsity
teams
The speedy, aggressive Idaho back
field has been rarin' to go in every
scrimmage it has entered this year
and the high spirit built in the team
insures that it will be a real fight.
Coach Macmillan said today that it
was impossible to announce what his
lineup would be or even give a gen.
eral idea AS there are about 40 men
out for positions, he is anxious to
closely watch every man before pick
ing men to start the first game.

MOSCOW PEOPLE AT
BOISE.

Boise, Idaho-(Special to The Star

here and is arranging to take up his
new duties. Mr. Evans, who was for

Iof education, has secured an apart
ment on west State street, where he
and Mrs. Evans are now comfortably

Professor j. c. Muerman, of Wash
ington, D. c., representing the de-
partment of the interiors department
of education, spent several days in
Boise attending the district cOnven-
ton of teachers from 10 southern
Idaho counties. Professor Muerman
was superintendent of Moscow city
schools for IL year prior to 1900,
when he went to the Philippines,
where he spent IL years in education

United States in 1912, has been in his
present position. A dinner party
given in honor OF Professor Muer-
man at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. E.

virtually a reunion Of former Mos
cOwites. The guests were: Profess

1t is understood here that the board
of education is planning to move the
extension service headquarters of the
University of Idaho from Boise to
Moscow and that all but four Of the
department heads will be taken to
Moscow. Two reasons are given for
this. One is that while the extension
service headquarters is in the capitol
building the workers are subject to
too much political annoyance, the
party in powet" always insisting
that the members of the extension
staff Zine up" with the political party
in power in this state, while the uni
versity and all it's branches are sup
posed to be nOn-partisan and nom
political. Another reason for the
proposed change is that it will CEN
tralize the extension work at the uni
versity, which is regarded as its
proper place. Well defined rumors
have it that all departments and heads
of departments will be moved to
Moscow excepting E. F. Rinehart,
animal husbandman, who is also in
charge of the sub-statiOn at Caldwell;
