CONGRESS AMUSED
BY "BILL LOWREY
Mississippi. Representative. Provokes
Much Laughter in Speech
Before House..

Washington, DC, Dec. 27.-Special
There is first-term member of
Congress from Mississippi who pro-
voked SO much laughter the other day
in the House of Representatives that
if he isn't careful he may establish
national reputation for humor nearly
if not equal to that of the late famous
Private John Nj. Allen of Tupelo who
as member Of Congress from the
same state continuously for is years,
it is said. The new member is b. Z.
Lowrey of Blue Mountain. His friends
down home call him "Bill" and that's
the way he lists his Christian name
in the Congressional Directory. He
never held any Office before coming to
Congress, having spent most OF his ac-
tive life in the faculty of Blue Noun
tain College, having been professor OF
English, vice-president and president
of that institution.
The speech that made such MT IN
the House was made the day atter
most of the Democrats absented
themselves from the hall SO that the
Republicans were forced to delay until
after the holiday recess the debate up
on the Dyer anti-lynching. bill. It
caused much laughter and provoked
so many interruptions that it deserves
to be rescued in complete form from
the pages of the Congressional Kec-
ord. and will be found below as 1oi-
lows:
fThe speech is published in Record
Dec: %, 1921 on page 1861:

RAY CARTER BUYS new
House FROM ILL.,. Wilson

Ray Carter, proprietor of the Paris
ian, has purchased the handsome new
residence property at the corner of
and Adams streets, just completed
by Harland Wilson, local contractor.
The consideration was $4,000. Mr..
Carter's residence in the west part of
town was turned in as part payment.
The house purchased by Mr.. Carter
contains eight rooms and is modern
in every respect, with hardwood floors
and built-in features. 1t was pur-
chased for a home and will be oc-
cupied by the Carter family within a
short time
Mr.. Wilson will begin work on the
construction of another modern bung-
allow on lot which he owns on Adams
street, just south of the house sold
to Mr.. Carter. The new house will
contain five rooms and will be strict
ly modern. 1t is Mr.. Wilson's pur-
pose to build three, and possibly four,

.SUPT. GIVES OPINION
ON PROPOSED SCHOOL

Rock Creek.-Miss Lillian Skatta-
Doe, superintendent Of public instruc-
ton of Latah county, in recent in
terview brought out the fact that the
floating of the bonds necessary &c
build the proposed modern four-roonl
school building, would entail tax of
approximately two dollars year on
every forty acre tract in the district
for period of ten years. The cleo
tion to decide the issue will be held
at the Bonner school house next week.
When considering the advantage of
good four room graded school over
the present building and equipment,
those favoring the bond issue argue
that the expense that would result
from the floating of the bonds would
be very small.
Considerable interest has been de-
velOped over the election that will de-
eide definitely next week the fate of
the proposed school building. The
election will be held at the Bonner
school house and is scheduled to draw
large percentage of the voters of
the district.

ed of the election of Dr. A. H. Upham

the main plank of the policy of the

expects to do and how it operates
seems at present to be unknown by
many of those recently selected mem

from ballot Of S8 eligibles but the
reasons for the choices were not made
clear.
The members elected from Boise ex-
press themselves in the Statesman
as not knowing how or why they were
placed on the roll The situation here
seems to be about as we'll enshrouded
in obscurity. Proctor Jenkins said
he had been notified of his election
but that was all he knew about the
league. President Upham and Mr..
Bush could not be reached.

MAKES POULTRY
GIFT7OUNIVERSITY
WEISER MAN MATERIALLY AIDS
DEPARTMENT BY CONTRIBU-
TION OF PURE BREEDS

Twelve pure-bred breeding White
Leghorn cock-birds and 500 White
Leghorn Matching eggs have just been
received by the department of poultry
husbandry in the college of agricul-
ture at the university according to a
statement made Thursday morning by
Dean e. j. Iddings.
The birds and eggs are gift from
R. T. Larson, of Weiser, Idaho,
raiser of an excellent strain of pure
bred White Leghorn poultry Mr..
Larson has made, altogether, a do
nation of "a males, 80 hens and five
hundred Matching eggs to the poultry
department.
Mr.. Larson are very valuable addf-
tions to the equipment of the poultry
department, says Dean Iddings. The
university is very appreciative of the
spirit of Mr.. Larson in cooperating
with the university in the advance
ment of the work of the department.
The birds, sent to the university
gratis, were secured by the mating of
the very best specimens in Mr.. Lar
sons poultry yard and represent
strains of the very highest egg pro-
ducers in his flock.
Selected Birds and Eggs
The male birds recently received
were selected from the very best of
the flock. The five hundred eggs re-
ceived, without charge, were chosen
from the best layers of the pens and
will be used chiefly for breeding pur-
poses.
The thirty hens and the twelve
cockerels received from Mr.. Larson
last winter were all bred from hens
with records of from It's to $50 eggs
year and are of the best products
of Mr.. Larson's poultry farm
In speaking of the value of such an
addition to the poultry department as
these birds make, Dean Iddings said:
"Mr. Larson is very appreciative of
the efforts made by the department
of poultry husbandry here and has
shown himself an enthusiastic sup
porter of the university by his splen-
did spirit of cooperation.
''The birds and eggs are particu-
larly valuable in that they represent
strains that are not for sale in the
regular market
