That would be one advantage Of
letting electricity do the household
work. Another is the increasing cheap
ness of operating these recently i'm
proved devices. A man in New York
has an electrically operated home in
which every possible function is done
electrically, there being fifty-fiye dis
tinct operations and the cost is SOC
a day. 1t is said that the great middle
class should be the ones to have these
advantages so marked is the economy
of time and money being demonstrate

The recent trial trip of the Levia-
than, its large free guest list and its
speed record brought the huge ship
into great prominence both pleasant
and otherwise before our own people
and probably to the Germans also as
the first builders and owners when
she became informed as the Vaterland
on our shores in the world war Now
the British have declared a quarantine
upon her when docking at Southhamp-
ton in order to search for British sea-
men, some two hundred in number
who are said to have jumped their
ships to sign for the crew of the Lev
latham They are deemed deserters and
proceedings towards furnishing them
will be made when apprehendeu.

SO well do large numbers of tour

Rockefellers' Garden of Eden"

After years OF prejudice against the
nude in art, believing that it was
dcnoralizng, John D. Rockefeller has
experienced change OF viewpoint and
has gone to the extent of having what
is termed Garden OF Eden on his
estate at Pocantico Hill, N. Y. There
are numbers OF huge statues of prim-
tive men and women now grouped in
this collection. THE Hewer" was the
first to commend itself to his favor
when viewed in the studio of the
sculptor Barnard and since that time
he has purchased that and others the
last one of note being Adam and Eve
by the same sculptor and which will
be placed against an imposing hack
ground OF marble arches being comp
leted by Italian sculptors and because
OF its imposing size and interest has
given name to the entire collAe ion
as mentioned.

The End of A Perfect Day

This is what Lieut. Russell L. Vaughn
army airman requires to consumate
his proposed coast to coast one day
flight. He has no fear that he and
his machine cannot safely make the
venture except for weather conditions
which must be IDEAL, particularly over
the Rocky Mountains. Several ex.
pected dates were cancelled and ius,
any time now we may hear of his
hop off and let US hope his safe de
scent within the allotted time.
LATER-Safe but to soon was the
landing made at St. Joseph, Mo-, on
Monday due to broken gear Lieut.
Vaughn has returned to New York
and will try again soon.

Diamond Studded Spoon

Figuratively speaking, the gold
spoon to which little miss baby grand
daughter Ford has just been born
should be that, as recent est
mates of Henry Fords wealth make
it the greatest Of any man on earth
with potential riches for his heirs and
heiress almost beyond computation
These number three now, two sons and
this, new daughter of Edsel Ford.

OLD GLORY

old Glory" is to be changed.
Science and art have tested the old
flag 'and have decided that it is too
long for its width. 1t is to be
trimmed inch for every 8 inches
in length This makes it. about the
same size as the one that was carried
by Yankee troops in the American
Revolution 1t IS the first change
made in the flag since Arizona and
New Mixico were admitted to the
union more than decade ago. Tests
by are experts and government Of
ficials have been made on the flag
stats of various heights. The starry
field of bule and the seven red and
six white stripes have not been
changed, though, Except for the
additional stars, it is the same en-
blem honored by the nation since the
days of Washington. What is
thought to be the largest correct
flag in the country is at the post
office in Washington, D. c. This
hangs from the roof Of the inner
square and spreads over six stories.
The length is 20 feet inches, and
il is 81 feet wide.

and hollis were left to develop. On
the Florida plat we found very
few punctured squares at any time
until the general flight Of the wee
wills in midsummer. On all three
plats the rains up to the middle
of July apparently caused more
shedding of squares and young bolls
than did the boil weevil and this was
particularly true on the Florida plat
where we found numerous squares
and bolls on the ground, practically
none of which had been punctured.
We have just finished picking
This cotton and the yields are as
follows: Check plat 824 pounds;
Coad plat 965 pounds, an increase
of al pounds of seed cotton which
we estimate to be worth $3.50 and
20 have been made at cost OF S5.l2,
leaving a net profit due to poison
ofS6.3S; Florida method 1910 pounds
seed cotton. an increase over cheek
of 1856 pounds at a cost OF $3.50,
leaving a net profit of sll.1s due
to the poison.
In estimating the cost OF labor
we have charged for it 20 cents per
hour. which it the prevailing price
nj this territory of many saw mills.
However. it may easily be possible
that Individual farmers could get
this work done at a cheaper price
than 20 cents per hour, and, II so,
the Florida method would be cor
respondingly more desirable as 1t
calls for a much greater expense IN
the form of labor than in the cost
of actual poison bought and fire.
auentlv there are farmers and their
families where labor is not such az,
item as it is with other farmers
OF planters where it must be paid
for in actual cash.
We did find that in applying any
of the molasses poisons the cost OF
the mixture itself and the labor of
applying same made the methods
using them even more expensive
than either OF the above and it
would appear that if we are to use
moasses poisons at all it must be
done when the cotton is very small
and the weevils first appear.

E. B. Ferris

AT the Experiment Station this
year we co-operated with the State
Plant Board as represented by Mr..
z. c. Rice, in poisoning cotton
against the boil weevil. Four me-
thods were used: namely, the Flor
ida, Coad, Weevil Nip. and Hills
Mixture. The poison used in ap-
plying Weevil Nip and Hills mix
.ure were not received in time
Tor them to put on strictly according
to directions ard we will not attempt
to draw any conclusions from their
use However, we did cary out
the directions with reference to he

Of the originators of thc3e methods
About the middle of April. three
acres OF uniform lsad which has
previously been in pasture for four
years and had all been prepared
and fortified in exactly the same
way. We're planted to Trice cotton.
This cotton came up to a perfect
stand was blocked hoes width
apart and from two TO three stalks
left in each hill. These three acre
blocks were separated from each
other by land planted to tomatoes
and as nearly as we could make
them every condition was the same
before and after planting the cot
ton, except that one acre was left
imprisoned. one acre was poisoned
according to the Coad method and
d third acre was poisoned according
% the Florida method. 1t was the
opinion of those of US who had
charge Of the work that the acre
used as a cheek and the acre used
for the Coad method were slightly
better acres than the one used for
he Florida method, the last being

of a poorer quality, besides It was
near d bay head where w2evtls

advantage than they could do neal
the other two plats.
As stated, no poison whatever was
applied to the check acre; 5 app
cations OF calcium arsenate were AZ
piled to the Coad plat, beginning
when the infestation reached 1876 per
cent and continued at four-day in

G. L. B. LEWIS GUILTY OF
ATTEMPT TO BEAT BOARD BILL

G. L. Burton Lewis, who was tried
before jury in the Latah county pro-
bate court, Saturday afternoon, on a
charge of the fraudulent procurement
OF board and lodging T. M. Wright
of the Moscow hotel, being the COM
planning witness, was found guilty.
Because Of the young mans war re-
cord, he having been volunteer in
the Canadian army in the late war,
and because of his having been i'll in
a Canadian hospital since leaving here
a year ago, Judge Nelson decided,
Prosecuting Attorney Moore concur
ring, that a fine would be sufficient
punishment. A fine of $50 and costs
was imposed, and was paid by a
friend of the young man.
Suit is pending in the district court
to collect the board bill, amounting to
about $50. An automobile belonging
to Lewis has been attached.

the standpoint of production and show

The new herd sire, King Piebe Pom
tiac Segis, is not an unknown quantity
since he has five yearly record daugh-
ters which produced 1853 per cent
more milk and 1876 per cent more fat

Oldest daughter has recently broken
the Nebraska record for 80 years. She
started test at four years and eight
months of age and made $685. pounds

She is being continued on yearly test

The University Of Idaho herd traces

Gravel Genesee Streets

1t has been just 20 years ago this
week since the ordinance was pub
lished calling for the graveling OF the
towns main street-and 70 years
later it received it's first new coat OF
grayel-long after it had been needed
In graveling the main street, Genesee
has taken on an entirely different ap-
pearance and while some are OF the
opinion that it was the wrong pro-
cedure, the News is of the OPINION
that it is one of the best things that
has happened here for a long time
BY keeping it graded to the center
it will make enough for any small
town There are many towns that
haven't half as good streets as Gene
see now has-and for that matter,
what has Genesee had for 10. these
many years? 1t is better to take
something that can be got than to
always be crying for something that
is unobtainable.- News. .
