No Proof Of Race of Giants.

The myth of race OF giants has
Its counterpart in those other crea.
lures of the imagination, the ancient
pygmies. These tabled people, who
were so small that stalk Of grain
was a tree to them, which they
chopped down with tiny hatchets and
brushhooks, we're said to inhabit
Ethiopia. They were always at war
with the cranes, but lived on such ex-
cellent terms with the partridges that
they were able to harness them into
their carriages. They lived at first,
according to the fable, in Thrace, but
were driven out Of Europe by the
cranes and took refuge in Ethiopia.

Easton, (Md.,) has been having con-
siderable trouble of late with the gas
service in their town and last week the
Public Service Commission got after
the owners and served notice on them
compelling them to give good service
or their franchise would be taken
away from them. The owners are
correcting the troubles and have prom
ised the commission they will give bet
ter service in the future, How is it in
Smyrna? For several years COM
plant has been made against the gas
service from the plant now owned bv
The Smyrna Light, Heat and Power
Company, but to no avail. During the
war owing to the higher price of coal
and labor, Town Council allowed the
company to raise the rate several diff
ferent times and it has mounted from
S1.9O per thousand cubic feet until
now it is $2.75 per 1000 Gu. #. with a
rebate of 25c if paid in ten days. But
better service did not go with the
higher price, nor does Council lift its
hand to regulate this public utility
that means so muck to the town. What
is needed in Smyrna and the State is
a Public Utility Commission like thew
have over at Easton and on the East
en Shore to compel better service.

Days and Nights of Equal Length
Next Friday morning at 9.2O o'clock
standard time, the summer of 1927
will make her last bow to the popu-
lace, and then get off the stage in ia
vor of Golden Autumn. The occasion
is termed the Autumnal Equinox in
the almanacs, but ordinary persons
refer to it as the time when the sun
crosses the line. After Old Sol is
safely on the other side, it is autumn,
and time to put away all summer
things like straw hats, ladies' furs,
hOme-run records and shore hotel
bills. In comes football and frost,
dead leaves and harvest fields. 1t is a
common superstitution that the direc-
ton in which the wind is blowing when
Sol makes his touchdown, plays a very
important part in determining the
kind of weather we will have during
the major part of the autumn. The
sun will enter Libra, which is zodiacal
for balance, on Friday, and the days
and nights will come to a state of
normalcy, that is, will be of equal
length. 1t is the season when the
frost is on the pumpkin, when Nature
colors the woods in the most wonder
full huts, when harvest days come ant
small boys hunt nuts in the woods. By
some autumn is reckOned as the mos
beautiful and wonderful season of the
year. Whatever the rest of us think
it will soon be with us for a three

Delawareans can justly feel proud
and Smyrna his native town in par
ticular, can justly feel proud of the
honor that has come to Hon. John
Basset Moore. In electing him a
judge of the International Court of
Justice, the League of Nations sitting
at Geneva, did him a signal honor.
Commenting on the selection, the
Wilmington Evening Journal justly
says:
at is conceded by all competent
critics that America is sending to this
long-waited court one of her best
equipped diplomats in the technical
sense. Furthermore, DIR. Moore's
whole career and his prolific writings
reflect constantly the judicial temper
ament that will qualify him so singu-
larly for the highest court in the
world. 1t is more than a singular
coincidence that so many Delawareans
who have distinguished themselves ma
tionally and internationally have won
their laurels on the field of interna-
tional law and diplomacy. DIR. Moore
is but carrying on the tradition of Del
aware craftsmanship as represented
by James A. Bayard, John NJ. Clay
ton, Thomas F. Bayard and George
Gray.
at always has been fortunate that
DIR. Moore has kept up his intimate
Delaware connections. While he was
born in Smyrna, much of his early
preparatory training was obtained in
FELTON, where his father, DR.. John a.
Moore, resided the later years of his
life. After being graduated from the
University of Virginia, he studied law
in Wilmington and was admitted to
the bar at the age of %. Always of
studious inclination, he was attracted
by an opening as a law clerk in the
Department of State at Washington
deliberately choosing such post rath-
er than a career of general practice
Young Moore served under Mr.. Bay
ard who had been appointed Secretary
of State by President Cleveland. Al
this stage of his career he frequently
Mas seeking advice and counsel from
Judge Gray, who had succeeded Mr.
Bayard in the United States Senate.
'Dr. Moore's rise in his professional
field was rapid. At the conclusion Of
the Spanish-American war we fine
him selected as the counsel and secre
tary of the Spanish-American Peace
Commission which met at Paris in 18
SO. Judge Gray was a member O
that commission. The University o
Delaware in 1900 conferred on Dl
Moore an Ii. D. degree, and it is in
teresting to note that the same degre
afterward was conferred by Yale Uni
versity, the University of Chile an
Brown University. Happily and ap
propriately, Delaware recognized he
own first.
"IG 1913 DIR. Moore was named
member Of the Permanent Court 0
Arbitration at The Hague Judg
Gray is also member of this cour
When the United States recently wa

COMMISSIONER BARBER
SAYS A BRIGHT FUTURE

In the opinion OF O. H. Barber
immigration commissioner, there IS
every reason for an optimistic view
of the future of the Boise valley In
commenting upon past develop
ment and what he believed is in store
for it. he said:
Looking backward and Judging
the future by the past, one is war
ranted in predicting a great develop
ment for the Boise Valley, especially
along agricultural lines. One can see
the farms not only increased in mum
Der by the reclamation of additional
lands, but the farm are becoming
smaller, Including tht Black CANYON
project and the Mountain Home and
Sunnyside lands. there are at least
10000 acreas that yet may ge irri-
gated. There will be more intensive
cultivation and dairyfng will increase
in importance

SEED CANNOT BE
SOLD WITHOUT TEST

The State Department OF Agricul-
ture upon recommendation of c. B.
Allison, Deputy Seed Inspector. filed
complaint in the Canyon County
courts against Mr.. s. ]. Livesay of
Caldwell, for exposing for sale seed
of alfalfa which did not conform to
the pure seed requirements OF the
state law.
Commenting on the case, b. r.
Sheehan State Seed Commissioner,
said: This is a case of a farmer
offering seed for seeding purposes
which did not conform to the reula-
tions of cur pure seed law. The
seed was sold thru the Caldwell Sales
Company, had never been tested and
upon examination was found to con-
tain some $40 dodder seeds to every
pound of alfalfa. Farmers selling
seed OF alfalfa or the clovers to an
other farmer are required by law to
conform TO the same regulations as
any seed dealer in town. Any seed
offered must be tested and conform
TO the minimum requirements OF
our law"

GREAT PRENE CROP
PREDICTED THIS YEAR

Present indications point to the
greatest prune crop in the history of
the Boise valley. Weather condf-
tions are decidedly favorable and
growers are highly optimistic as to
the outlook. The valley Is one of the
three or four places in the United
States which are adapted TO the pro-
duction of the widely famed Italian
prune, and through 'ts growth of this
popular fruit il has received nation
wide publicity. The prunes grown in
the valley have greater percentage
of sugar in them than those grown
elsewhere, and by reason OF this fact
are shipped to better advantage.
The proprietors of the three mann
moth Hrune evaporating factories at
Meridian are making extensive pre-
parations for the operations of their
industry this coming summer and will
afford employment through several
months of the year for approximately
500 men and women. In a period of
% years there have been only two
or three partial failures of the crop
and last year its value was in excess

FIRST MESSAGE OF
THE NEW PRESIDENT

Congress should adopt resolu-
lion declaring peace with Germany
without further delay. President
Harding recommended In his first
message to congress Tuesday. Such
action, he said, could in no sense be
construed as desertion of the allies.
He made plain his belief that the
league of nations is dead Measures
10 lower taxes and lower retail prices
were outstanding features of his re-
commendation for dealing with do
nestle problems.
The peace resolution, Harding ex-
planned, should undertake to do no
more than declare a state of peace
and must put no difficulty in the way
OF the collection of reparations or the
restoration of War-torn Europe.
Turning his back completely on
the league of nations, the executive

Two-thirds of the area, four-fffths

This great two-thirds area which

The three new states will be form

BIG WINTER WHEAT
CROP IN IDAHO

According to the report released
by Julius H. Jacobson, Agricultural
Statistcitian of the Idaho Crop Re
porting Service, 1daho's winter wheat
crop promises to be the largest har-
vested since 1915 with total pro-
duction of approximately 100000
bushels. This is one million bushels
more than was harvested last year.
The estimate is made on the assump-
ton of average influences on the crop
from now until harvest. The report
on abandoned acreage due to winter
killing is not made until May but in
dications are at present that the crop
has come through in particularly
good shape.
Soil moisture conditions are excel
lent and the crop is making o thrift
ty growth. Given half a chance our
dry farm areas are going to deliver
this year. In Camas. Fremont and
Teton counties the crop was still COW

LET US KEEP
OUT OF EUROPE

Recent happenings in Europe only
confirm the good judgment Of the
american people in keeping clear of
the league of nations and Old World
politics. In spite of the lofty ambi-
lions aseribed to the Iower classes
of European society by the former
President and others, it appears that
they care little for republican form
of governmtnt. The peace confer
encc carved out a moteIy array of
new states, a few self-styled Teadars
set up what they called republics
within their borders, and the world
was informed that monarchies were
despised ad abhorred by the people
in their new freedom.
What happened? Greece has re-
called her royal family by an over
whelming popular vote; the Haps-
burg dynasty seeks restoration to the
Throne of Hungary: the royalist sem
.timent in Germany appears to be
gaining strength; and it is predicted
that the final evolution of the Rus
sian situation will see a new czar in
in power. The trouble is the people
of Europe, with one or two eXcep-
tions, have been ruled by kings and
semperors<for hundreds of years, and
lit is utterly foreign to their nature
to adopt any other form of govern
ment. 1t was fatuous for the leader
of our peace expedition and the ideal
lists who accompanied him to think
they could construct republics out of
the subjects of monarchieS.
