GETS MASONIC
BLUES

| Weiser-Henry, prominent figure
on the downtown streets, porter
gentleman baseball fan, street cor
ner entertainer and general figure
about town was muchly downcast
parsonage Wednesday morning. Lady
Luck was in vicious mood and had
smote Henry a blow not easily sooth-
ed.
It happened this way:
Henry is very prominent figure
in colored Masonic circles, in fact.
he holds II national office in this fra
ternal order. Wednesday was TO have
been a big day in Henry's career. In
anticipation Of the event Henry's
broom, mop, scrub bucket and window
cloths had been laid away. Henry
was going to forget them for day.
The negro Masons of Idaho were
having big meeting in Boise, with
many dignitaries present. Henry was
not only going to be there, but he was
one of the dignitaries of the order.
His full uniform of office was all
groomed for the occasion.
The sun never shone so brightly
to Henry as it did Wednesday morn
ing as he made his way to the rail
road station. And then-shades of
Booker T. Washington, Jack John
son and Tommy Payne! The train,
due at 9:01 a. m. which was to have
carried Henry TO the august assemb-
lage was late-not due until o.
clock in the afternoon. And there
were no other trains east bound be-
fore that hour.
Henry read and re-read the black
board where the train reports were
posted. He slowly walked toward the
door, turned and took one last look
at the board.
Once outside, whole-hearted, vo-
ciferous condemnation Of the railroad
executives and striking shopmen
broke from Henry's lips which would
have driven the worst of these often
iers to hiding.
"I've sure got those Masonic Blues
sighed Henry as he retraced his
steps to the Jones' barber shop and
slowly took his broom from its place
# resting.

Chickens Better Than Poison.

On the Scottsbluff reclamation
project, Mitchell, Neb., where the
grasshopper pest has been particular
ly bad this year, various methods of
control have been tried out. One of
the most successful methods observ-
ed so far was used by farmer who
has quarter-section of land. Five
hundred chickens divided into lots of
100 were kept in colony houses on
80 acres Of the farm and moved about
as occasion required. As result, on
the half of the farm where the chick
ems were pastured there were only
about 20 per cent as many hoppers as
on the other 80 acres. This is a bet
ter showing than has been made on
most Of the fields where poison was
distributed. The owner and the rent
er found the method profitable. At
ter they had used what they needed
of the poultry for domestic purposes
and after the weasels and coyotes had
taken their toll. the rest were market
ed and brought in about rs per cent
Of the original investment. This year
the owner is stocking the farm with
1000 chickens as insurance against |
the grasshopper pest.

He urged that the curriculum of the
medical college be made more elastic.

said the graduate school to-day is
as rule cold -blooded proposition
"He has been so filed with scien

and service to the community.

game, showed no more class in pass

baskets.

Isham, who was the outstanding star
for Burlington, Gagged basket for his

Slayton and 0Ieary both played

Tierney both tried hard for baskets
but luck seemed against them. The pc

In the second period Slayton missed
his chances at fouls very frequently,
while Prentiss seemed to be having fine
luck at scoring on them. Burke was
sent in for ySpaulding and Densmore,
who finished the first period for Bur-
lington, was sent in again. Both men
played hard and fast running the risk
of making fouls in order to work the
