CONFERENCE HELD IN CHI
CAGO BRINGS ENCOURAG

Chicago-(A. PA more optimis-
tic light was shed on the wheat situa-
tion in this country at conference
here Monday Of joint committee on
wheat research of the wheat council
of the United States and the chamber
of commerce of the United States,
committee members declared after the
meeting.
Resolutions adopted declared that
estimates of huge over-production
are not borne out by study of the
situation and attributed the depressed
market to the exaggerated reports of
surplus wheat production.
A definite wheat research program
on which statistical experts of the
two bodies will start to work at once
was adopted The committee will
meet September "a to consider re-
ports on this program.
While the joint committee was
meeting, another conference to try to
relieve the wheat situation was TAX
ing place here.
Railroad executives held a confer
ence with committee from the
Omaha chamber of commerce to re-
consider the program of the Omaha
business men for a reduction in
freight rates on wheat, recently re-
jected by the carriers. At the close
of the meeting the only statement
that was made was to the effect that

SMOOT SEES WAR
in THE 0FFING
AMBASSADOR OF LATE PRESI.
DENT PICTURES EUROPE IN
DESPERATE PLIGHT

New York-A picture Of Germany
on the brink of revolution and OF
Europe face to face with another de-
vastating war was brought home by
Senator Reed Smoot, of Utah, who
went abroad at the request of the
late President Harding to study con-
ditions in Germany as they affect the
reparations problem.
Equally doleful was the impression
brought back by Representative j..
B. Aswell, of Louisiana, who also has
been on a tour of Europe. Both
agreed that conditions abroad boded
i'll for America, particularly for the
farmer, for whose surplus crops they
said Europe was not in a position to
buy.
Senator Smoot said he believed it
still was possible for Europe to set
it's house in order without a period
of chaos but he declared that unless
surely come.
While the chief difference between
France, Germany, and Great Britain
on the surface to be over
he said, he suspected that
beneath this lay the problem of coal.
In view of what he had seen, he
said, he earnestly hoped that America
could remain free of European en-
He did not believe,
however, that entry into the world
court, under the reservations sug-
gested by the late President Harding,
would constitute an ENHANCEMENT. On
the contrary he thought America
could do much to help Europe in its
re-adjustment without herself becom-
ing unduly involved.
Representative Aswell thought that
in Europe had reached
such a pass that there was nothing
the United States could do save ex-
arcise her moral force"

PALOUSE PEOPLE INJURED
WHEN COUPE TURNS TURTLE

D. M. Dudley, business man of
Palouse, suffered broken collar
bone, Rice Grimes had four ribs
broken, and Miss Fleta McCauley,
also of Palouse, had her arm badly
bruised, when Mr.. Dudley's Dodge
coupe, in which they were riding, left
the road between this city and Mos
COW mountain, and turned over. The
car, which was practically new, is
said to have been badly damaged.
Mr.. Dudley came over to Moscow
to see McP. Bailey on business, and
Mr. Grimes and Miss McCauley had
accompanied him for the ride. They
had driven out to the Bailey summer
home and were returning to town
when the accident occurred. 1t is
not known what caused the car to
leave the road, but it first turned
over on the side, skidded' ways, and
then turned over, coming to rest on
the opposite side.
The occupants of the car were
taken to Dr. Magee's office where
they were given first aid and were
then taken to their homes in Palouse
by Mr. Bailey. Their injuries are not
thought to be serious.

ELKS PLAN MOVEMENT
TO MEMORY OF HARDING

Everett, Wash.-A plea that every
boy in this state give a dollar-and
earn it himself-for monument to
be erected on the spot where the late
President Harding addressed 10000
boys in Woodland park, Seattle, July
27, was made before the state Elks'
association in annual convention here
Monday by Henry Suzzallo, president
OF the University of Washington.
If each lad would give dollar
that he earned, instead of one sup
piled him by his parents, the memoir
ial would then express that spirit of
sacrifice that would make him feel
a greater pride in that glorious pro-
ject," said DR.. Suzzallo.
Nominations for officers were open
ed, to be closed today. The following
were named with general expecta-
tiOn that they would be elected with
out opposition: President, joe ST.
Peter. Everett; presidents, Wal
ter E. Meier, Seattle; H. r. Nosler,
Yakima, and Gus Thackler, Chehalis,
and treasurer, G. w. Vanrooy, Ta-
coma.

MONTANA LIFTS BAN
AGAINST FIVE Counties

Idaho's ten northern counties are
now permitted to ship fruit and vege-
tables into Montana without an in
spection for alfalfa weevil, it is an
nounced by Mark A. Means, state
commissioner of agriculture
The commissioner recently received
notification from the Montana depart
ment of agriculture that the counties
of Latah. Nez Perce, Lewis, Clear
water, and Idaho had been released
from the alfalfa weeviI quarantine
with reference to the shipment of
fruits and vegetables into Idaho's
neighboring state on the east.
Previously the counties of Bound
ary, Bonner, Kootenai, Shoshone, and
Benewah had the ban removed.
Mr.. Means said he hopes to get
considerable portion of the southern
part of the state released from the
Montana quarantine as soon as re-
ports on the existance of the weevil
can be compiled in his office and for
warded to Montana
There are sections of the southern
part of the state that are free of the
weevil and it is from these districts
the commissioner hopes to acquire the
permission to ship fruits and vege-
tables into Montana.

MANY THRESHERS
NOW in OPERATION
ESTIMATED 35 OUTFITS NEAR
M0SC0W-FIRST WHEAT AT
FARMERS UNION ELEVATOR

From 80 to 40 threshing outfits
will be busy in the district tributary
to Moscow by the close of the pre-
sent week, according to Arnold Lyon
president of the Moscow Union Ware
house company, and with good wea-
ther, the tenth or middle of Septem-
ber will see the big Palouse crop
in the elevators and warehouses. In
addition to the usual number of large
threshing outfits, a number of small
separators have been bought and Will
be used by two or three farmers to
handle their own crops, the farmers
exchanging labor and thus materially
reducing the cost of threshing, and
avoiding delay.
AL Draper for many years one OF
the leading threshing machine men in
the district, made the statement this
morning that the same prices which
prevailed for threshing last year will
be adopted this season. The charge
for threshing last season was 13 cents
a bushel for bulk wheat and Is cents
for sacked. 1t was anticipated sever
al weeks ago that the cost of thresh-
ing would be higher than last year,
but the feeling exists among the far
mers that with the present price of
wheat, they could not afford to pay
higher price.
Men are being secured at 81 day
for drivers and pitchers, Sc for sack
sewers, and from $40 to $12 for sep
arator men. The labor situation is
working out satisfactorily. While
there is no surplus of men, they are
coming in practically fast enough to
supply the demand. The demand for
labor will probably be at its height by
next week.
Receive First Wheat Here
The first wheat delivered at Mos !
COW was received Monday afternoon
by the Moscow Union Warehouse COM
pany from the J. P. Peterson farm,
two miles south of town. 1t was of
the Red Russian variety, and of fairly
good quality. Mr.. Peterson had |
not threshed enough to be able to tell
what the yield would be, but the ra-
pidity with which the wheat was COM
ing from the thresher indicated that
The yield would be satisfactory.
