TodayS Sport Angle

Willard Is said 20 have plenty OF
money. II such Is the case. then
finances have nothing TO do with the
affair as far as Willard is concerned.
II Is hard 10 believe that Jess. rel
ished him. and is anxious to try Il
all over again.
Perhaps the very best reason that
could be offered by willard Is that
defeat has eliminated him from the
sporting spotlight. Another match
would give Willard a chance 70 basS
in the limelight for a time at least.
Possibly that Il the big idea with
the former champ. Certainly such
a bout would not be for sports sake.
Jack Dempsey has II over all
other heavyweights like a tent Car
pentier. the best in Europe, was no
match FOR Dempsey. Interest IN that
bout was created by the interna-
tional flavor and the hard working
press As a spectacle it was worth
while. Carpenter was glorious in
defeat. He gave the best he had.
II the Dempsey willard fight Is
put over on the public, the only
hope Is that It Is staged beyond the
three-mile limit.-B. y.

More About Quoits

Dear Editor:
In response to Mr.. Conner's let
ter fexplanation concerning the
quot situation in the city in The
Battleaxe on Tuesday, wish to state
that the object Of our Saturdays let
ter was not TO censor the clubs Of
the City Quot League for organiz-
ing the league. We knew from the
start when we did not receive a no
tice concerning the meetings that
we could not place team in the
league.
But we would like 10 know why
the board OF managers OF the City
Quot League have barred players
who were with us from pitching with
team now in the league. I was told
personally by one OF the board OF
managers that not only one but two
or three members OF the Brandy
wine team could not play in the City
League.
Mr.. Conner surely must know IN,
cause as he is one OF the organizers
OF the league. In reference to the
split in the Wilmington Leagu,
last year all managers and captains
know that a rule was violated.
II the organizers Of the cit,
League did not try 10 disrupt the ALI
Wilmington League why did the,
send notices 70 three or four team
entered in our league. Mr.. Con
ner. II is not a question OF who form
ed this league and that league bu
who is responsible for putting tn
| boycott on some OF the Brandywin,
players. AS an organizer OF you
league you are surely in a position {,
answer ny question.
Yours in sport.

Wheat Crop Better Than Last Year

The county's combined wilmer
and spring wheat crop promises to
be 100000 bushels larger than
last years, based ON forecasts OF
predictions announced Wednesday by
the department of agriculture. There
will be smaller crops of oats, barley,
and hay than last year, while the
apple crop will be much smaller.
Winter wheat, which a month ago
promised a crop of s29,0O0,000 bush
els. came through May in bad shape
in several states, and as a result the
forecast of production showed a re-
duction Of 81, 100000 bushels, bring
ing the total to the same quantity
az produced last year. Kansas, pre-
mier wheat state, reported "a decline
IN the condition of the crop from "a
per cent of normal ON May To
90 per cent on June /, which re-
quilted in a reduction in that states
forecast.

Thursday afternoon Mrs. ]. G. Bar

James Episcopal Guild at her home,
which was attractively decorated
with yellow roses. The afternoon
was pleasantly spent in listening to
the excellent report of the two MEM
bers, Mrs. Vandegrift and Mrs.
Beach, who were delegates to the
convention held last week at Boise.
The report, read by Mrs. Vande-
grift. gave a graphic word picture
of the meeting, and conveyed to the
guild new thoughts inspired by the
addresses made by able speakers and
workers and mingling with the sis
ters who We're working in other COM
munities, doing the same tasks,
teaching the same lessons, and ar
rlvtng at the same results. Mrs.
Beach took notes at the convention
of the happenings.
Mr.. Ashton, who comes to Noun
tain Home twice month to held
services, entertained the delegates
at his home to dinner.
At 5 o'clock Mrs. Barrett served
dainty lunch to the following
members: Mesdames Anderson, J. s

REIMBURSEMENT Coming

The world is settling down gradu-
ally from the debauch of wartime
conditions, and with a little patience
We will all be back on our jobs.
There is great deal of idleness in
the highly unionized building trades,
that resist reduction to pne-awr
scales of wages.
On the other hand, with cheaper
lumber and building material, build
ing of small homes in the cities and
towns is increa sing in volume.
The housing problem is being
solved on the open-shop plan, as me-
chanics cannot be held i'm idleness by
artificial barriers but work for less
pay.
Canneries ara taking up the fruit
crops on cooperative plans, by which
the industry and the growers work
together in carrying the pack.
Employees of the railroads and
steamship companies are taking their
cuts in wages with "a better grace
than was expected, and showing real
patriotism.
The farmers are probably the
worst hit by the slumps in prices
and many are carrying last years
crops.
Mining and numbering are comino
back with increased orders for meta
and lumber, in the latter case taste
than the mills are producing.
Gold imports continue very heavy
totaling nearly 1881, 100000 fer the
first four months of 1921. The i'm
portation of gold was a large factor
and i'm the marked improvement OF
the foreign exchanges, particularly
of sterling and francs.

The North Idaho Chamber of Com
merce, i'm convention at Occur
d'Alene, voted unanimously to favor
a new state If the commission that
1t to be appointed recommends It,.
Upon motion of Herman II. Taylor Of
Standpoint, seconded by C. A. Hagen
of Moscow, the chamber president
was authorized to name commits
Son of five citizens to be appointed
by Lieutenant Governor Moore and
Peter Johnson, speaker of the house.
The commission was authorized by
the legislature last winter. Presi-
dent Harry w. Mitchell will appoint
the committee at once
MIR. Taylor discussed the desirab-
ility and feasibility of creating a
new state in his address on "Civic
Affairs of North Idaho" At the
conclusion he made the motion. He
reviewed the possibilities of a state
to include the ten northern counties
OF Idaho. also the possibility of in
GLIDING portions of Washington or
portions of Montana. The idea of
annexation OF northern Idaho to
western Montana and the creation of
a new state is comparatively new,
but Is being given much considera-
ton.
Mr.. Taylor said the Lieutenant
Governor Moore and Speaker john
son have agreed to name the COM
mission whenever the people of north
Idaho recommends dthe personnel
for such board. The legislative pro-
vision specifies that all five mem
bers be residents of north Idaho.

At the Table

An eminent French psychoanalyst
declares that the American people
are the worst eaters In the world. A
race of men who will eat corned beef
and cabbage and mince pie ON the
same day is hardly worth saving.
The French, the Spanish and the
Italian know how to cook and dine.
Even the English are well informed
ON the rudiments Of gastroniomy.
But the Americans are hopeless. 1t
will take another generation before
we ever know how to make an ONE
LET. The difference seems to be that
while the Frenchman considers his
dinner as a rite, the American takes
takes to 1t as am exercise. Well,
the American may not know exactly
how to eat, according to the French
conception of that formality, but he
is not going to starve to death ON
account Of 1t.

Water on Irrigated Lands

Irrigation works have been com
pleted and water is ready to be de-
livered TO the. hand on which the 1928
families forming an automobile ca
ravan leaving Brooklyn for Idaho
July Is will settle, according to rec
ords of the state reclamation office.
Records of that office also show that
water was delivered last season to
those living ON the project who
wanted 1t.
The entire project contains 5000
acres, and Is part of what was orig
inaaly the West End Twin Falls prof
ect. 1t is located about IS miles
northwest of Bull. Five Thousand
and twenty acres of this tract are
under the option of W. d. Scott, "a
Brooklyn advertising man, who is
heading the automobile caravan,
which will arriwe in Idaho some time
In August. Each of the 12S families
will take up 40-acre tract and
purchase their water fights from the
Idaho Farms Development company,
which has built the project.
A complete field examination of
the project has been made by the
state reclamation office and its FEAST
bility approve dwith the exception of
a few minor improvements suggested
at the time the survey was made
thi sspring, and which have since
been completed to the satisfaction
of the reclamation office.
The reservoir, main canals, bitches
and headgates are all installed, and
reports indicate that there will be
an abundant water supply for the
coming season.

To Keep His Memory Green

Up Slabsides way work has begun
on memorial to John Burroughs. 1t
was no easy task to devise suitable
memorial for this great naturalist,
but the one hit upon fulfills all re-
quirements. Amid the green forest
now to be planted, up nthe Catskills
a tablet set on agreat boulder and
dedicating the plantation will do fit
ting honor to the man who knew and
loved every inch of the country about
his mountain retreat.
A section of the shoulder of Big
Indian mountain is to be reforested
with Scotch pines. By planting TO-
900 2-year-old trees i'm the first bath
and adding another 10000 annually
until the task is completed, the Gre
ators of the memorial can get
through in a reasonable time.
A memorial forest, with a little
care, is as permanent as man Will del
1t be. The one to ibe created will give
comfort to the animal friends OF John
Burroughs, as we'll as to human be-
ings, who will enjoy it's shade and itf
products. More OF such plantations
are needed, whether as memorials tC
great Americans or to Americas OWE
splendid wild past. And we neec
forests to replace those swept away
