What to Eat and WHY
A Natural Supply of Vitamin

The word "Vitamin" is new, but
the thing itself is as old as the
human race. 1t is the energizing,
vitalizing, growth : producing ele-
ment in the right food. Its alb
sence is a serious fault of the
wrong food. When the food is
right, there is no need to go to the
drug store for Vitamin.

to-eat cereal, supplies the natural
Vitamin from the wheat, and a fur

Granite had been a town, of be-

circuitous road which wound in and
out among the curves of the noun

graded and at that time it was the
best graded road in Montana. Down
this roadway on August the first

procession ever seen. No one had
stopped to pack-everything was
thrown in helter-skelter with 10 ref

stove-well beloved by the family for
having done long and noble service,
and, therefore, could not be left, even
though it might be destroyed in a
h%eadlong pitch down the hill. Wheel
barrows, g~ocarts and burros had
their place in the procession-the
burros perhaps with trunks strap

"And everyone was in such a hur-

POCATELLO STRONG
FOR UNIVERSITY
SECRETARY COMMERCIAL BODY
PLEDGES SUPPORT TO KEEP
STUDENTS In IDAHO

The best thing that could happen
to Idaho is a continued stimulation
of the intercourse and close COM
munication between the sections of
the state, in the opinion of Ethelyn
GlaSSer, secretary of the POcatellO
chamber of commerce, expressed in a
letter to B. G. Rowe, secretary of the
Moscow chamber of commerce., ex-
pressing interest in the University of
Idaho and in the pageant, The Light
on the Mountains" Regarding the
pageant, she said:
g take this occasion to assure you
that we were doubly appreciative of
the splendid effort made by the uni
versity and the city of Moscow in put
ting on this wonderful pageant. L
believe everyone in attendance was
more than delighted and satisfied.
There are so many wonderful
things in both south and north Idaho
that the average citizen in the op-
posite section is more or less uncon-
scious Of The two portions are
highly complimentary, one to the
other and enhance greatly each
others value as a state. You can
rest assured that we will always be
with you in boosting the Idaho
Spirit. [ really feel it my duty to
this part of the state to put before
our people as strongly as 1 am able
the message regarding what l found
at the university. We have been very
proud of our Technical Institute, and
probably have sinned as much as
any part of Idaho in letting some Oh
our children drift into different state
institutions for finishing. AS far as
my influence extends it will be USED
to check this tendency and stimulate
a desire to have our young people
oraduate at Moscow.
ct might add that it would be
equally we'll for you good people IN
north Idaho to send as many as poss-
ible of your students to the ldaho
Technical Institute here. This. no
doubt, would relieve some congestion
in the university and give the boys
and girls useful knowledge and con-
fact with southern Idaho. This inter
change of knowledge and thought and
sympathy would soon weld all our
state together indissolubly."

There was filed Saturday with M

petition of voluntary bankruptcy
against the North Idaho Growers
Warehouse corporation in behalf of
the F. NJ Martin Grain and Milling
company, of Cheney, Wash, the Nit
chell-Lewis- s-Staver company, Spo-
kane, and the Continental Oil COM
pany, Lewiston, the latter represented
by Tanahill & Leeper, Lewiston.
The Growers corporation is an ad-
junct of the Washington Wheat
Growers association, but an indepen-
dent corporation. Upon organization,
it took over the assets of the tri-
state corporation, including storage
warehouses at Peck, Culdesac, Reu-
bens, and Troy, and retail store at
Lewiston, handling farm implements,
coal and other lines.
Last March, to satisfy claims, the
Tri-State corporation took over the
assets of the growers corporation to
the extent, it is alleged, of personal
property and book accounts aggregat-
ing $4,000. In April receiver was
appointed for the corporation in Ban

proceedings aims to make all credl-
tors share alike, adjudication on that
basis to receive an accounting, lnclud-

FARMERS INTERESTED
In POULTRY INDUSTRY

Prem Moore, poultry specialist of
the extension division of the Univer-
sity of Idaho has just completed a
series of poultry meetings in Latah
county in cooperation with O.. S.
Fletcher, county agricultural agent.
Eleven meetings were held with a
total attendance of 1SS Meetings
were held in the following communi-
ties: Pennington, Deep Creek, Pot
latch, Harvard, Avon, Deary, Big
Meadows, Kendrick, Juliaetta, Cedar
Greek, and Genesee.
AT these meetings Mr.. Moore de-
monstrated poultry culling and gave
general inforElation in regard to feed
ing, housing, care and management
of the farm flock. Considerable time
was spent in discussing raising of
young chickens. A number of flocks
were found to be infested with worms.
Information was given on the con-
troll of this pest which seriously af-
fects any flock that is attacked.
Although prices for poultry pro-
ducts have been low during the past
season, those attending the meetings
showed much interest in poultry
work and it was frequently stated
that the hens were one of the best
and most dependable sources of cash
income on the farm. Tentative ar
rangements were made for mating
demonstrations to be held by Mr.
Moore during October. Communities
desiring this service can secure it by
applying to the county agent.

Part of the success in building up

UNITED STATES
HOPE OF WHEAT COUNCIL LIES
IN BALANCING PRODUCTION
AND CONSUMPTION

Ch1cagO-An appropriate balance
between domestic wheat production
and consumption will be the object
of efforts of the Wheat Council OF

gressman Sydney Anderson of Mime
sofa, one of the directors of the coun-
Gil, in connection with the announce
ment that permanent headquarters
will be opened in the new Temple
building here.
attention to wheat alone, he said, but
will cooperate in all sound economic
movements to promote the general
welfare of the farmer.
The wheat council, he said, will
work to bring the control of the
American wheat market from Liver
pool to a point in the United States"
while / cannot undertake to
speak for the direction of this cor
poration," Congressman Anderson
said, ct am personally of the opinion
that the first effort should be di-
rected toward increasing the con-
sumption of wheat as this can be
undertaken at once and will affect
the price of the crop presently to
be harvested. The permanent solu-
ton of the problem depends, how
ever upon development and applica-
tion of methods for organizing and
controlling the production and mar
keting of wheat in this country, and
the more advantageous disposition of
such surplus as may exists above do
mestic consumption.
cit is my own opinion that coop
erative organization offers the best
means for accomplishing this pur-
pose and my hope is that the coun-
ell will undertake to establish the
basis upon which organization and
control of marketing of wheat can
be effected and give constructive aid
in developing the necessary agencies
and associations for this purpose.
cit is my view that modern agri-
culture must be an organized agr1
culture.
cit seems probable that the con-
troll of the situation will be found
in the relatively few states produc-
ing a surplus beyond their own re-
uuirements and that the organiza-
tion of the relatively small proper
ton of the production in those states
will be sufficient to establish con-
dition of stability and equilibrium"

MISS BIGLOW TAKES POSITION
AT COLORADO AG. COLLEGE

Miss Edna Biglow left Moscow to-
dav for Fort Collins, Colorado, where
she has accepted q position as assist
ant in the department of economic cs
and sociology of the Colorado Agrl-
cultural College. Miss BiglOw is a
graduate of the University of Idaho
and during the past three and half
wears has been statistical clerk in
the farm organization studies car
ried on comparatively by the univers-
ity and the bureau of agricultural
economics of the United States de-
partment of agriculture.
These studies have been confined
to two areas, Twin Falls and the
Palouse. In each area business
analysis of more than 200 farms was
made for each of the years 1919, 1920
and 1921 In addition to the financial
business analysis, data were obtained
for determining the cost of produc-
ing all of the crops grown on the
farms studied. Because of the re-
adjustment necessitated by the limit
ed budget under which it must oper-
ate during the present biennium and
a material increase in the student
enrolment the university brought
close on July l. Tt is understood the
bureau of agricultural economics
will round out the Investigations and
prepare the material for publication.
Miss Biglow goes to Colorado at a
material advance in salary
