PROFESSOR HIGGINBOTTOM
TALKS OF FAR OFF INDIA

One of the most interesting adj
dresses heard at the chamber of
comerce luncheon in long time was
that given by Professor Sam Higgin-
bottom, principal of the Allahabad In
stitute, at Allahabad, India, Wednes-
day at noon. Professor Higginbot-
tom has been engaged in agricultural
work and investigation in India and
other far eastern countries and he
came here to speak at the University
of Idaho on the subject of agricultur-
al development. He spoke at the as
sembly at the university at II o'clock
and then attended the luncheon and
instructive address. He told of the
crude methods of farming in India,
of it's intense heat and it's many
natural advantages and disadvant-
ages. Among the latter he pictured
the intense heat of some portions.
He told of train load of soldiers be-
ing carried across this intensely hot
district, with the cars well provided
with ice but the soldiers insisted up
on violating the rules against open
ing the windows and the hot blasts of
air killed many of them. Professor
speaks again at the
auditorium tonight. The
public is invited.

! RSUL|NE ACADEMY
HELPS THE STARVING
SPLENDID PROGRAM GIVEN BY
PUPILS RESULTS IN RAILS
ING A NEAT SUM.

For the benefit of the Starving
Children of Central Europe, the grade
children of the Ursuline Academy
last night, gave program featuring
a play in honor of George Washing
ton, and a Valentine Lamentation of
left over valentines.
An interesting innovation was
Cupid's coming to console the left
over valentines, by bringing the ia
nous actioneer, Mr.. j. F. Papineau.
Mr.. Papineau started the auction
by saying that during his career, he
had offered at public auction, many
commodities but never before had he
been called by the God of love to
auction valentines. The bidding was
spirited and the charming, if left over
valentines, commanded startling
prices. Opal Kinnier was found to be
worth to some fond heart the high
sum of $1,000. The list of valentines
and their purchasers is:
Helen Brucker-George Dougherty,
$500.
Martha Jabbora-Mr Jabbora,
$500.
Walter Robbins DR.. Tracy,
$500.
Edna Ward William Ward, $500.

$16485, an unusual amont of which the
academy is justly proud, and wishes
to repeat it's most grateful thanks to
the patrons who defied storm and bad
roads to join the ranks of Gods
worthy stewards. To Mr.. Papineau is
due an especial note of thanks and
praise.

WASHINGTON'S BIRTHDAY
DANCE WAS SUCCESS

The dance given by the Elks on
Tuesday evening was the very best
ever. Everybody seemed to be there
and everyone was greeted in such a
hospitable manner that they seemed
to forget they were ever strangers.
The decorations were wonderful, the
dining-room ablaze with beautiful
candles of red, white and blue and the
room and tables in red, white and
blue accompanied by all the patriotic
decorations that go with a Washing
ton birthday celebration. The menu
fit for king and the Lady Elks as
usual proved themselves to be match
less hostesses. The ballroom was a
dream of beauty, decorated in red and
white, and the great crowds that sur
ged to and fro seemed to float away
to the sweetest strains of music fur

among those about to occur, the star

the benefit of the pension fund Of the

long since sold, went for from 10000
to $4,000 crowns each and single tick

Even in deprecated Astrian cur
rency 10000 crowns represents about
80 perfectly good American dollars

Much of the money thus spent
from the wild speculation on the
stock exchange that has followed the
constantly fluctuating crown, and
and from wide open speculation in
foreign moneys, theoretically pro-
hibited but in full operation in cafes
and restaurants and well covered pri-
vate offices.
One American told the correspond
ent that in the Black Exchange, lit
tie street where these spectators
gather and trade, he saw one man
with 100000, American money, and
who admitted he had made 100000
crowns day on speculation.
The possibilities of this money mar
