HEAD LETTUCE ADDED To
LATAH co. CROP LIST

The department of horticulture OF
the University of Idaho experiment
station, is demonstrating the fact that
head lettuce is not entirely product
of the warmer climates but can be
grown in the Moscow district New
York head lettuce, planted the first
of November, on the university farm,
is now ready for the table The heads
are large and the lettuce is crisp and
tender.
Professor c. G. Vincent, head of the
department of horticulture at the uni
versity, states that by sowing the
seed in the fall, at least one fair crop
can be grown and that it would be
very easy to produce enough of the
lettuce for local consumption.
The production of head lettuce COM
mercially has become an important
industry in parts of Idaho the past
few years, especially in the Lewis
ton district, where many carloads are
grown for the market each year. In
terest has been created and informa-
tion disseminated to a great extent
through literature prepared by Mr..
Vincent and sent out from the uni
versity. While it is generally known
that this salad crop can be grown pro-
fitably in the warmer districts, it is
probable that few persons realized
that it can be grown in this altitude
with any degree of success.

POPULAR PASTOR TO
LEAVE LOCAL CHARGE

The Rev. r. L. Dunn, pastor of the
First Christian church, who resigned
some three months ago because of
the ill health of Mrs Dunn. will
preach his farewell sermon to the
congregation Sunday night and will
leave some time next week for
Eugene, Ore, the future home of the
family.
Rev. Dunn has been in Moscow a
little more than year. He is a
man of outstanding ability, and in
that time has done an excellent
constructive work, bringing the church
into more efficient working unit,
adding to the membership, and get
ting an extensive building program
under way. The fact that he is
forced to leave is deeply regretted
by the congregation and by others
who have come to know him. He
will go to the Eugene Bible Univer-
sity at Eugene, Oregon, in the capa-
city of dean of the girls school and
chaplain Of the large general hos
pital, which is being completed in
Eugene by the Bible university.
Mrs. Dunn and the children left
Moscow some three months ago, be-
cause of Mrs. Dunn being unable to
stand this altitude. They are at
Sumner, Washington, and will be
joined there by Mr.. Dunn, and will
accompany him to Eugene.

FAMOUS SLAVE STATION
OF INDIANA DESTROYED

Petersburg, india. P.)-Another
station of one of the most famous
institutions that ever reached into
Indiana-the underground railroad
for running slaves into the northern
states-has passed. Fire recently de-
stroyed the landmark.
The house, located in this vicinity,
caught fire because of defective
flue 1t originally was owned by
John Posey, father Of Frank B.
Posey, former representative in con-
gress, and was the home of the Posey
family in the days preceding the Civil
war. Many escaped slaves were hid
den in its secret cellar and tunnel
and assisted in getting to Canada, ac-
cording to old-time residents.
The residence stood on a high bluff
along White river, commanding a view
of the surrounding country for many
miles. 1t contained secret closets,
secret cellars and in the war period
a secret tunnel led to the river.

24O WIDOWS, SOLDIERS
ASK TAX EXEMPTION

The county commissioners of La
tab county, who are sitting as board
Of equalization, have before them 240
claims for exemption from widows
and soldiers who live in the county.
The commissioners have three weeks
in which to act on the claims. The
claims, under the law, must be filed
by the fourth Monday in June.
Widows and soldiers are allowed an
exemption of $1,000 if the value of
their property subject to assessment
is not more than $4,000. Where the
value is more than $4,000 no exemp-
ton is allowed.
While there is an exemption of
$400 on household goods, the goods
must be assessed and the exemption
allowed when the assessment comes
before the commissioners. There is
also an exemption allowed on farm
implements, doctors instruments, etc.
Representatives of the Phi Alpha
Psi fraternity came before the COM
missioners with request for re-
fund and cancellation of the 1922
taxes on the organization's prop erty.
The board deferred it's decision until
later.
NOxiOus Weed Complaints
Many complaints are coming to the
commissioners because of persons
who have not complied with the or
der requiring the cutting of noxious
weeds, and the members of the board
are carefully Investigating each case
and instructing the property owner
to have the weeds cut. Ii this is not
done, the commissioners will have
the weeds cut and the expense of
doing the work will be added to the
1928 taxes of the property owner
The commissioners will be in ses-
sion until about the middle cf July.
