AS the commercial apple crop Of
the United States is less than half
that of last year, the prospect for a
favorable market price for Idaho ap-
pies is assured. The eastern states
have but a few apples, and in the
central west the crop is practically a
failure. Washington will probably
lead all the states this year, and Or
egOn will also have a bumper crop.

The war cost this country some
thing like 26 billion dollars, of which
. billion was absolute waste, due to
the mismanagement and poor bust
ness methods of the Wilson admins
tratlon. Now when it is proposed to
enact a soldier bonus law that would
call for about 3 " billions, the treas
nry is empty and there is a huge de-
tlcit impending. If the Wilson ad-
mlnistration had saved that billion
there would not be the least trouble
IN finding funds for a bonus.

The Star Courier ceased publication
July 1st. A newspaper is valuable to
a town, and like some other things,
the absence of the paper will be not
iced now that it is gone.It is probable
that the lack of support for the Star
paper was from the fact that it only
contained the news of Star, and did
not combine the local news with a
complete daily newspaper service. 1t
Is difficult however, to publish a big
newspaper on small newspaper in
come.
