Darius Green INDICATED.
1t is many years since Darius
Green challenged gravity.

Green challenged gravity.
"'rhe birds can fly and why can't +?
Must we give in says he with a
grin.
"''T the bluebird and phoebe are
Hmarter n we be?"
Poor Darius, who crashed after
hopping Oh. the barn that memorable
Fourth of July morning, is being
vindicated at last. Over in France
another young American, EDMUND
ALLEN, who flies motorless glider
less complicated in It's construction
than Darius's batwing harness, is
going great guns in competition with
the French. the Swiss and other Eu-
ropeans.
The reason for the failure of Da-
rius is now evident. His wings were
too small. "Ten feet they measured
from tip to tip" the Trowbridge poem
tells us. and ALIENS glider has a
span of twenty-four feet, a wing
breadth Of nearly five feet and a
length over all OF sixteen feet. 1t
is built generally on the lines of a
light monoplane. Some of ALIENS s
rivals at clermont Ferrand have ma
chimes modelled after the bat, as Da-
RUS Green's was, and they attempt
to propel them with muscle power.
These are called "fappers," but they
have not done as we'll in the French
trials as the "stiffs," as the gliders
with stationary wings are nick
named.
In his American trials last month
ALLEN was reported to have remained
in the air for five minutes. At Cler-
mont on Tuesday, although his long
est flight was only fifty-five seconds,
he showed the Europeans that he
had complete control of his glider.
He not only took off with start Of
fifteen feet and made perfect land
ings from all his flights but he actu-
ally rose fifty feet above the level Of
thelstarting point and flew more than
half mile. What is more important,
ALIENS machine weighs only eighty
pounds. This makes 1t possible to be
flown against lighter winds than
would float the more cumbersome Eu-
ropean gliders, some of which weigh
$50 pounds.
The race for the glider supremacy
is in way the outcome of the YER
sailles treaty. Germany was forbid
den by the peace terms to build planes
propelled by motors. Immediately her
experts set out to conquer the air
without the use of gasoline Last
September word came from Berlin
that an engineer, KLEMPERER, had
sailed three miles in motorless
monoplane in thirteen minutes, start
ing from an elevation of about 5000
feet. On the way he looped the loop.
This performance sounds much more
important than ALIENS until it is
remembered that the American was
not taking off from great height.
The students of the glider believe
that it's perfection will result in the
Improvement of the form of motor
airplanes. They say too that when
the light glider has reached some
thing near perfection it may, by the
addition Of small motor-about the
size of that used on motorcycles-be-
come the poor mans monoplane. He
will glide across the winds as far as
he can and then, when the breeze
falls or nose dive is in prospect. he
will turn on his motor and regain a
height from which he can again 60
slipping through the air.

Fire Destroys Home
Near Stock Yards.

A residence near the Union Stock
Yards and owned by this concern was
completely destroyed by fire about
AS o'clock Wednesday morning. Mr.
and Mrs. Fred Egley, who occupied
the house, were absent at the Givens
Hot Springs in Owyhee county when
the fire occurred. Sparks from a pass
ing train are believed to have caused
the fire. The fire department was on
the scene shortly after the alarm was
turned in but the building was al
ready beyond possibility of saving and
was an entire loss. Partial insurance
was carried on the house and furni-
ture Owing to the fact that the house
was unoccupied, the blaze was not
discovered until too late to prevent
entire destruction of the property.
Rain, which would have probably pre-
vented the blaze, began falling short
ly after the FIRE was discovered and
continued for almost II hours.

Weather Favors
Farm Operators
Past Week Finds Idaho
Crops Rapidly
Growing.

BOfSE-Weather conditions, were,
in the main very favorable for the
rapid advance of vegetation the past
week. The cool nights retarded the
growth of garden crops somewhat
and the cloudy days slowed up the r.
pening of strawberries, but for the
most part all crops made good pro-
gress. The cool showery weather was
fine for winter wheat, which is now
heading, and for pastures and mead
-ows. The rain was everywhere well
come but it was particularly bench
cial in the dry farm sections of the
panhandle counties where drought
conditions threatened to become SER
ious. Prunes and apples are growing
rapidly. There is more or less drop
ping of both fruits, but prospects for
an abundant crop are still very prom
ising. Range feed is plentiful and
all range stock are thriving and gain
ing flesh.

First Lettuce Is
Ready for Cars
Shipments Will Begin
This Week of Spring
Crop.

The first of the spring crop Of head
lettuce is now being marketed in Can
yon county. The first cuttings are
being disposed of on the local mar
kets, but within few days carlot con-
signments will be made up and ship
ped to other districts for sale. The
Idaho Producers Union will probably
ship its first car of lettuce sometime
during the last Of the present week or
the forepart of next week. This first
car will probably be made up of let
tuce grown by A. c. Saxton, OF
Eagle, and Mr.. Mcneil and Mr.. Trot-
ter, of the Middleton district.
The head lettuce in the Parma dis
trict is also about ready for the mark
ct, but sufficient amount has not yet
sufficiently matured to make up car
for shipment A large percentage oi
the spring acreage, according to pre-
sent indications, will not be ready fol
market until around the first of July
due to the lateness of the season and
the consequent late planting.

RECLAMATION IS
NOTED BY FALL
Secretary of Interior Re-
v lie ws Achievements
Under Federal Act in
20 Years.

Saturday will be the twentieth ami
versary of the establishment Of the fed
eral reclamation service. Commemor-
ating that OCCASION, Secretary of the
Interior Albert Fall has issued the
following statement:
"On this the goth anniversary of
the Reclamation Act it is fitting that
we should take inventory of the re-
suits which have followed the adop-
ton Of unique policy of internal ex-
pansion. take it that its advocates
and the majority of its benehciaries
are agreed that success outweighs fail
ure and that substantial benefits to
the National have been shown.
THE primary purpose of the franz
ers of this law and of Congress in
enacting it, was not only to promote
the development and use of arid lands
but also to establish thereon compact
and contented communities of small
farm owners. If the thought of Con-
gress had been merely to reclaim lands
regardless of the size of the holdings,
authority to restrict the area in indi-
vidual ownership would not have been
conferred upon the Secretary. The
law makers planned to create as many
opportunities as possible for country
minded citizens to obtain foothold
on the soil, recognizing that from such
citizens the Nation draws its strength
The success Of the law must be meas
ured therefore by the extent to which
!, the reclaimed lands are utilized in
the making of self-supporting Amerl-
can homes and notabysthe accomplish
ments of engineers in constructing
great hydraulic works.
Meets Acid Test
"Up to the present period of defa-
ton the law has met the acid test of
: repayment, and Notwithstanding the
general depression in industry and ag-
riculture ! believe the majority of irrl-
CATION settlers will meet their obliga-
, tions to the Government when due. A
study of these projects whence the
Il greatest number Vi ICQuSStS loi dSiSl
, ment have come reveals conditions
which should be given careful consid-
Z Grafton by the project people and the
) Department as we'll. The inability OF
5 the people to meet their payments may
: be attributed to many causes. The
Y prime cause, of course has been the
, depreciation in the price of farm pro-
: ducts. 1t has also been necessary to
r readjust production to peace needs ra-
ther than the exigencies of war time
demand. 1t is unnecessary to go into
, detailed discussion of the results of
dehation as applied first to the farm
ers' or longtime credits, second, to
, the reduction of the per capita circu-
, lation increasing the purchasing pow
er of the dollar and decreasing the
value of the products of the basic IN
dustries, etc.

B 0|SE CLUB IS
FINED S | D D BY
LEAGUE LEADER
Rosenheim Draws Neat
Penalty; All Protested
Games Thrown Out at
Meeting.

E. G. Rosenheim, magnate of the
Boise baseball club, was plastered
with a 500 fine by DR.. w. E. Wal
drop, president of the Western Idaho
league, at meeting of team managers
held at Parma Monday evening. Dis
respect for constituted league author
ity and general insubordination were
given as reasons for levelling the fine.
This action was taken by the league
president following a prolonged and
heated battle of words between Mr..
Rosenheim and the league president.
All protested games that thus far
have been filed with the league presi-
dent, have been thrown out and will
stand as played. Minor infractions of
the league rules led to threats to pro-
test almost every game that has been
played thus far and this action was
taken as the only solution of the con-
troversy revolving around protested
games AS result of this agreement,
Caldwell is credited with a victory
over Weiser and lost game to Pay
ette and still maintains a percentage
of 500 with four games won and four
lost. incidentally, the presidents de-
cision leaves Boise and Weiser tied
with six victories and two defeats
checked against each team.
The umpire system in vogue thus
far will not be changed. A strenu-
Gus attempt, backed by Mr.. Rosen-
helm and R. T. HURT, local manager
was made to have three league um.
pires appointed instead Of the present
dual umpire system, each team at each
game providing an umpire. In the
opinion of league officials, the pro-
posed change would prove too expen
sive and the present rather unsatisfac
tory system will be continued.
Caldwell plays Boise here Sunday
Boise is officially credited with q
league victory over the Caldwell clut
but since that disastrous season:
opener, Caldwell managed to trounct

unofficially, the two teams have spill

probably pitch against Boise. From
