WORLDS CHAMPION cow is
HONOR GUEST AT BANQUET

Agassiz, B. ca. Pied among
rows of tables in brilliantly lighted
banquet hall and MIXED in the pre-
sence of 800 members of the British
Columbia Dairyymen's association
here, Agassiz Segic May Echo cham
pion butter-producing COW of the
world, was toasted in foaming glasses
of her own milk here recently.
The famous COW was led into the
banquet hall with silken rope by a
pretty milk maid. TShe showed no
signs of embarrassment or fright when
a storm of applause greeted her and
quietly chewed her cud when, under
the ministrations of her fair atten-
dant, the streams of milk made bubb-
ling music in a silver pail.
Agassiz Segis May Echo is a five
year-old Holstein bred and owned by
the Canadian governments expert
mental farm near here. She recently
established record of 30,SS6 pounds
of milk in 365 days, yielding 1851
pounds of butter. Her milk record
has been beaten, but her butter record
is far greater than any ever made be-
fore in the same period of time.

RODENT CONTROL MAN
WORKING LATAH COUNTY

E. B. Perkins of Boise, field agent
in the bureau of biological survey, in
which the state and federal govern
ments cooperate, arrived in Moscow,
Saturday, and will spend several days
in Latah county in connection with
rodent control work on public lands
He will be accompanied in a trip over
the county by County Agent 0. S..
Fletcher.
Mr. Perkins work consists in look
ing after rodent control on public
lands, where the rodents are a men
ace to the adjoining private property.
His work is comparatively light in
.Latah county as there is only 1900
acres of public land in the agricul-
tural districts of the county. In
some Of the north Idaho counties,
however, there is a large acreage.
The squirrel is the principal rodent
which menaces the crops.

tie for second place in the high jump,
for total of 91h points

ton area of the country, and all
deaths will be recorded in the Wash
ington office, as we'll as in the state
house

ing the past month.

MEMBERS OF /. w w. ARE
NOT WANTED IN KANSAS

Topeka-(A. Pas a result of
the recent decision in the Kansas SUI
preme court, members of the Indus
trial Workers of the World are not
wanted in Kansas.
The high court has sustained an
injunction against the L. w. W., its
officials and all members, issued in
the district court of Butler country.
1t has been held by the attorney
generals department that the posses
sion of an l. w w. membership card
is sufficient grounds on which such
member may be held in contempt of
the injunction in any county in the
state
C. B. Griffith, state attorney gem
eral, in his brief before the court,
said: 1t will be seen at once that
the acts of the organization are not
single acts of crime, but every act
is a part of a system devised and in
tended to inf1ict unlawful injury and
damage upon the citizens of the state
to overturn the industrial system and
overthrow the government itself

year there were 1857 divorces.
In 1913, the number of divorces was
1872. In 1919, when the armies were
being disbanded and people were free
to put their houses in order, this
number reached 1896. In 1920 it
reached 31,465, in 1921 the number
was 3O,498, and the past year 30,753.
The causes of this increase of di-
vorces are not tabulated, due to the
secrecy of court proceedings relating
to family affairs.
However, the general causes are in
fidelity, desertion, and the slow
breaking up of the family during the
war, with the greater freedom that
earn their living during the war.
Both sexes, it is said, have lost in
some measure their sense of moral
responsibility. Another cause given
is nervousness growing out of the
war, making both sexes less able to
bear the restraints and trials of mar
ried life. Yet another cause is the
tolerance of the courts and the ease
with which divorces may be obtained,
one factor of which is the cheapness
of the decree, obtained through
lawyers, who, in recent years, have
begun to advertise: Divorce in
three months, on credit, and no pay
ment unless decree obtained
