Crowd Big

Caldwell football fans who had hop
ed to see Wayne Davis. former Good

Saturday will be disappointed. On
the eve OF the Vandals departure from
Moscow. Davis was declared eneligible
for scholastic reasons. While. &C
cording to the Pacific Coast confer

tions at the University OF Idaho are
more strict than the conference die
tates. Davis is we'll known TO Cald-
well football fans who have seen
him perform against the College OF
Idaho with Gooding various times.
Practically everyone OF the 100 tick
cts assigned to Caldwell football fans

taken Thursday before they were call

rather unfavorable day. the largest
crowd in history OF Armistice day
games is expected to witness the first

Dope favors Idaho to win but the
loss OF Davis is expected to weaken
the Vandars chances somewhat Stiv-

probably constitute the Vandal back
field.

RED CROSS IS
READY To ASK
F0RY0URH HELP
Local Chapter will have
it's Annual Roll Call
Next Week; Cause is
Worthy

Caldwell's annual Red Cross roll
call will be held next week. The Rev.
J. Sherman Potter, pastor OF the Pres
byterian church here, will direct the
drive having been named to that posi-
ton by the Red Cross executive board.
Dollar memberships in particular
will be sought this year, according to
Mrs. II. Z. Robinson, executive secre-
..ary. Recognizing the fact that drives
are not popular at present, no inten-
sive campaign seeking large sums will
be made, but as many persons will be
solicited for nominal donations rs it is
possible to reach.
That the Red Cross is justifiably
and should be continued locally is the
opinion OF every member OF the Red
Cross board Mrs. Robinson cites
that the Red Cross has saved county
,ax payers many thousands OF dollars
by thoroughly investigating county
by thoroughly investigating county
charity claims. In addition, jobs are
brought to the deliberately jobless
and a certain type of citizens who
habitually sponge on their community

APPLE CENSUS
SHOWS DECLINE
Of FIVE TREES
But Better Care of Re-
mainder Offsets Pro-
duction Loss in the
West

The census OF 1920 shows 80 million
less bearing apple trees in the United
States than in 1910. The loss in trees
is in the central and eastern division
of the United States. To offset this
there is a strong disposition on the
part of commercial growers, to give
increased care in cultivating. spray
ing, grading and preparation for mar
ket The northwestern division.
Washington, Oregon. Idaho and Mon
tana has 20 per cent more apples in
1928 than 1922. With the increased
disposition on the part of commercial
growers to increase production of
commercial fruit. it is up to each and
every apple grower to make an effort
to increase the consumption of apples.
This can be done by giving away tens
of thousands OF bushels to those who
otherwise would not be able to pur-
chase apples and would not be con-
sumers.
For the education of the public and
the development of increased con-
sumption, each and every commercial
apple grower should make il a point to
see that each and every boy. girl and
individual within his reach, has apples
to eat and develop the habit of eating
apples freely and use them in various
methods of cooking.
Under the influence OF this thought
the Stephens Orchards, Nampa, Idaho,
annually gives away large quantities
OF fruit, mostly grades that are not
strictly commercial, but which can be
readily utilized by the thousands OF
families that are not otherwise sup
piled and students in the various in
stitutions within reach. BY using the
Stephens storage facilities the Stephens
orchards are able TO supply students,
clubs and schools freely until March.
This policy has been followed for
some years. For the season OF 1928
the Stephens orchards supply the
Nazarene college of $50 students and
their boarding club with all the fruit
they can use. the same to the College
of Idaho, at Caldwell, with 500 stu
dents, also supplies the Deaf and Blind
at Gooding and will, this coming week
ship a large car load, free of charge
to the Idaho State Industrial Schoo
at St. Anthony, hoping in this way tc
do some portion OF the duty resting
upon every apple grower to increase
the consumption of apples and de
velop a race of apple eaters.

Annual Motor Bill is

WlASHING1ON-Official
estimates place the annual fuel
bill paid by motor vehicles at
Sl.000.000.000, and the annual tire

The annual depreciation may be
computed on an estimated in

It's place, and probably will. with
the great portraits OF ali time, a
gravely dignified and beautiful work.
Sargent's contribution Is little land

O'Hara, wonderfully rendered in de-
TAIL, but possessing great breadth,
beautifully interpreting the atmos-
phere or the place and weaving tents,

beaten old guide seated In the fore

color-brown and green and gray.
Frank w. Benson, who Is we'll

a leaping salmon, seen, as 1t were, at
close range as 1t turns in it's leap

| sink back into the water-a painting
which, despite its transitory charac-
ter. does not give the impression of

who Is best known for his extremely
rettcent pictures OF boats and land

| In the Maine woods. which carries
with 1t, because of its manner of rem
dering. the emotional impression of
the primeval wilderness.

tinguished talent.
Felicie Waldo Howell. formerly of
| this city and, by the way, member
OF the jury of selection. contributes
three interesting and utterly different
paintings-an exquisite picture of the
sea off the Magnolia coast, a dark
pool in the foreground barricaded by
rocks, blue waters beyond, meeting
the blue gray sky, and a Japanese
placed near to aernS, the compost

Miss Marguerite c. Mum, also from
Washington, is represented by view
of Perugia, while among other erst-
while Washington painters Hobart
Nichols, Arthur Spear, Ernest L. Ma
Jor and George Gibbs are all we'll rep
resented. not to mention Alexander
James. who spent a year or two in
this city, and Eben Comins. who is
nov temporarily occupying Miss
Hale's studio in st. Matthew'S alley.
Mr.. Comins makes particularly no.
table contribution. exhibiting his
figure study of a young woman in an
orange gown, seen against a banner
like strip of red brocade and having
rs a background a semi-decorative
interpretation of mountain and sky.
This picture has been hung in gallery
F. as a pendant to a figure painting
by Irving r. Wiles-one of the most
brilliant of all the exhibitE-and 1t
appears to great advantage, evidence
ing peculiarly competent color rela-
tions, imaginative quality and sculp-
turesque force.
In many respects this 11sth annual
exhibition of the Oldest academy OF
arts in this country is the most nota-
BILE exhibition of cotemporary Amer
lean paintings that has been assem-
bled for several years. and 1t goes to
show most conclusively that, no mat
ter how erratic the work of the mod
ernists has seemed. a new, healthy,
vigorous and really beautiful note
has come into American painting to-
day. Apparently our painters are
producing works which not only COM
pare favorably with the works of the
great masters of the past, but work $
which are distinctly individual. In
other words. they have q vision which
upholds a great ideal.
