California Will
Avoid Competition
Lettuce Producers To
Dodge Idaho Shipping
Season.

California lettuce growers are being
warned not to plant lettuce at a time
to bring it in competitor with lettuce
produced in Idaho, according to R.
q. Risser, manager crop production
department for the California Vege-
table Union.
II have just returned from a trim
to southern California covering about
months time" writes Mr.. Riser,
and have been in touch with growers
in number of different sections where
lettuce will be grown. In every case
we are telling them about the large
acreage of high quality lettuce which
will be grown in Idaho this season
and are urging the growers to defer
their paintings so that their crop will
not mature until Idaho's shipping sea-
son is over. We are also in COMMUNE
cation with other districts and will
have some reports for you before
long"
This statement from Mr.. Riser will
be of especial interest to those who
have been fearing that California let
tuce would be sold in competition with
Idaho lettuce. The fact of the mat
ter is that Idaho lettuce, being of a
quality superior to California lettuce,
will crowd the California product off
the market and hence, as indicated
above, California growers are being
warned not to attempt to compete, but
to plant at such time that their pro-
duct will come on the market after
ours is off.

The weatherma ninterfered in no

Only about IS devotees of the diamond
responded to the call issued by Man

with batting practice.
Tuesday evening at $50, weather
permitting, work will begin in earnest,
Pilto HURT announced Monday. And
if Caldwell is to have more than a
passingly decent team, lot of men
are needed to fill some of the gaps
in the locals lineup. Every man who
thinks he knows anything about the
national pastime is urged to get out.
No twirlers have shown up as yet
and considerable uneasiness is express
ed that this will prove big weakness
in the team unless pitcher can be
gathered in from the bushes.
Friday night HURT and Vining will

IS

COAL WALK OUT
Borah's Scheme Shunted
BY Blase View of Situa-
ton Taken By Other
Men.

WASHINGTON Congress has
given attention to labor conditions
that have resulted in strikes, lockouts,
rioting and civil war in the coal fields,
these many years. A few months ago
it was necessary to send federal troops
into West Virginia fields. A senate
committee that examined into the West
Virginia matter recently made re-
port showing almost unbelievable
wage and living conditions in the coal
mining country. But this report was
along the same line as other reports
covering the same industrial conditions
for bygone years. And now, with a
new strike on hand, congress is at it
again-and it is safe to say that it will
find the same old industrial pestholes
that have been so often featured in
these same astonishing public docu-
ments. While congress is restless
over the situation, and with Senator
Borah even going so far as to demand
drastic public action" the attorney
general takes a blase view of the situ-
alton, declaring that men have a right
to quit work and men have right to
employ other men," To these observ-
ations he adds that it is the duty of
the local authorities to maintain order,
but if worst comes to worst the gov
eminent will perform whatever may
be its duty in the premises" This
kind of talk plainly irritates congress,
as the legislative bodies feel that larg-
err principles are involved than are
stated by the attorney-general.
Of course there have been instances
when the Washington government
has used the big stick" in dealing
with coal mining conditions, but that
usually has been when coal short
age threatened the country. With
summer coming on the public interest
in the well-nigh perpetual strikes is
far from acute; and the great public
likely figures it out that the annual
row will be over before it comes time
to start the furnaces next fall.
/ Students of the situation that exist:
in the coal fields are always greatly
concerned by these ever-recurrine
strikes, and they point to the stories
related in the official reports referred
to above as conclusive evidence thai
} there is an un-American condition
, governing living conditions and EN-
ployment in the coal mining regi IN,
} which does not seem to improve will
time. They insist that the public in
terest in the situation is so much great
er than the interests of coal mine own
ers and operatives that it is high tim,
that a constructive plan should b.
worked out by the government ant
the state where the coal mining indus
try is important, to clean up" tn,
situation, in order that coal minin,
might be carried on in a way tina
compares with the responsibility an,
fairness that exists in the other grea
industries of the country.

ATKINSON AM
DRESSER bOU 7
ISDISCUSSED
Fans Anxious to See
Clever Wrestlers in Ac-
ton in Near Future;
Both Willing to Go.

With spring still remaining among
the missing, wrestling fans are again
talking of the proposed wrestling bout
between DR.. Harold Dresser of Kuna
and Coach Carroll Atkinson of the
College of Idaho. This bout should
be good drawing card as both men
have strong local following and both
are top notch mat artists.
Dresser is known all over southern
Idaho for his athletic prowess. The
Kuna dentist is reputed to be whirl
wind on the mat with a long string
of victories behind him. He is con-
sidered the best referee in the state
and has officiated in the majority of
wrestling matches held in the Boise
Valley during the past few years in
Guiding the recent Utah Aggie-C College
of Idaho dual meet where his acrobatic
stunts between bouts were one of the
big attractions of that show.
Atkinson, unlike his proposed OPP
ponent, has still to prove himself be-
fore the local public as wrestler, ap-
pearing only twice this year in action
and both times the bouts were merely
exhibitions. The college coach made
big record last year wrestling in and
aroundNthe state of Wisconsin, where
he won "a out of rs bouts, losing only
to the state champion middleweight
Atkinson held both the featherweight
and lightweight titles of Wisconsin
before coming to Caldwell and has
been anxious to get into active com.
petition again but has only Offered
his services to benefits and booster:
associations. Judging the colleg'
coach's knowledge of wrestling on tn,
showing of his team this year how
ever Atkinson should prove to be /;
worthy opponent for the Kuna man.
The College of Idaho wrestling team
is facing deficit of $l25.00 after ;
very successful season introducing tn,
collegiate sport to local fans. Thu
management went In the hole this sun
of money on the last meet with tn,
Utah Aggies after breaking even fo
the rest of the meets with the add
tional expenses of new uniforms, ma
covers and incidentals always incurr

K|WAN|ANS ARE
REAL HOSTS At
BIC BAN D YET.
Peace With Canada Over
Long Period Fittingly
Observed last Thursday
Evening.

More than 100 guest of ninety odd
Caldwell Kiwanians nightly enjoyed
the second ladies night" banquet and
entertainment staged by the CLUB
Thursday evening at the Methodist
church. More than 100 years of un-
interrupted peace between the Unitei
States and Canada furnished the mo-
tive for the affair; Kiwanis clubs in
both the United States and Canada
last week dedicating their attention to
| this phase of international relations.
Three influences have made possible
| the long era of peace and its attendant
| friendship and good will between the
United States and Canada, Alfred
Stone, speaker of the evening, point
ed out. Canada has always placed
peace with the United States above
territorial value Mr.. Stone said, IL,
tracing incidents in the establishment
of the present Canadian American
boundary. These incidents almost in
variably resulted in the acquisition of
considerable territory by the United
States at Canada's expense
The second reason, Mr.. Stone point
ed out, is the fact that England has
handled Canada's foreign affairs ard
has always been inclined to minimize
the Importance of boundry and other
controversies in which her dominions
became embroiled
The third big reason has been the
L
Rush treaty, practically eliminating
warships on the Great Lakes and Lake
Champlain and setting a precedent il
1917 for the disarmament conference
which but recently completed its la
bors. From that treaty has grown the
worlds greatest evidence of the value
of armament limitation, Mr. Stone de-
clared
Canada and the United States to-
day stand power by themselves in
. insisting upon world armament limi-
tation and perpetual peace" Mr.. Stone
declared. Most of the success attend
mig the recent conference at Washing
ton can be attributed to the .co-opera-
ton of Canada and other British En-
