mencement address to the graduating
class at the University of Idaho on

nounced today.
Mr.: Piper will speak on Academic
Freedom" as he has made deep

INTEREST CONTINUES
IN METHODIST MEETINGS

A deep spirit of devotion and con-
secration characterized the meeting
at the Methodist Episcopal church on
Thursday evening. The chorus choir
sang a beautiful piece expressing the
spirit of the Master and His disciples
the night of the last supper and the
betrayal.
Judge Morgareidge gave the min
ute mans address. He said that his
parents always held out to him high
ideals. That he attended college
where there was a great man acting
as president. That he had found great
influence bearing upon him when he
associated with Christian young peo-
pie. That finally one day he had been
asked by the president of the school
to lead a chapel and that it had been
so urged upon him that he could not
refuse. He then thought that II he
were to be doing things of that kind
he must take an open and unquan-
fled stand. From this time on he
was an avowed Christian and his eX-
perience had been that the world IN
general respected a man who took a
stand. He said that he had never
been ridiculed because he did not par
ticipate in anything which he con-
sidered improper. That he had never
had any course of action pushed upon
which he had courteously declined.
The pastor talked few minutes on
the significance of the. Lords Supper,
there was a Love Feast testimony
service. The meeting closed by ad-
ministering the Lords Supper.

Lehmi, Lewis and Valley counties;
serious damage was done and hum
dreds of acres of crops were COM
pletely ruined. Lewis county poison

hoppers appeared the following
spring.
"In 1920 a concentrated campaign
was made by the different counties In
conjunction with the farm bureaus
and the university extension division
Fifteen counties were troubled with
the pest. Four counties put on such
an effective campaign as to remove
expectation of trouble there the fol-
lowing year. These counties were
Idaho, Lemhi Valley and Camas. The
remaining eleven counties had large
numbers of grasshoppers in different
localities doing more or less damage.
These were Adams, Ada, Blaine, Ban
mock, Cassia, Elmore, Franklin, Koo-

sion division announces. Prepara-

its third disastrous fire in a few
weeks Thursday, when the three-story
flour mill on East Main street was
destroyed, with a loss estimated at
$4,000. The mill was owned By Dale

about $4,000 on the machinery.
Three carloads of flour were stored

owned by the Farmers Mill and Ele-
vator company of Jerry, Idaho, and
consigned to Robinson's bakery. The
balance was Red, White and Blue
flour, owned by the Centennial Mill
company of Spokane and shipped to
Pullman for distribution. The value
of the flour in storage was approx
imately $4,000 and the amount OF in
surance carried is unknown.
The fire was one of the hottest in
the city's history and the fire depart
ment is being highly commended for
its efficient work in saving nearby
residences. The blaze started near
the electric motor used to drive the
machinery, but the cause in unknown.

superior court on the grounds of de-
sertion. The c,uple were married at
