CALDWELL HIGH
AND WE|SER TIE
Football Teams Play
Scoreless Game in
Mud Saturday

Playing on field that ducks would
enjoy, Caldwell high school and Wei
ser Institute football teams battled to
a scoreless tie here Saturday afternoon.
Neither team seriously threatened 10
score. most OF the play being in mid
field. Straight football with consider
able fumbling blocked kicks and run
ners frequently losing their own foot
ball featured the game Not once was
the small crowd of pigskin followers
given an opportunity to display any
enthusiasm. the game being singularIy
devoid OF bright spots.
Neither team looked particularly i'm
pressive. But neither team had an
opportunity to show its wares. With
both lines holding and open play I'M
possible because of the mud under
foot and the mud-coated, slippery ball.
first downs were few and far between.
Once, in the second quarter, Cald-
well made several nice gains with
Turner and Teach carrying the ball
Again in the final stanza, Pete Kim
shared one of the rare forward passes
and planted the ball within 80 yards
of the Weiser goal. But that is as
close as the home team over got and
there was no possibility of convert
ing the opportunity through the field
goal route.
The Caldwell team did not look par
ticularly impressive. although condi-
tions made play difficult. In the first
half. Turner might have made some
nice gains but for the fact that he was
continually running over his interfer-
ence. the play leaders failing to keep
out OF his way.
This week Caldwell plays Parma
at Parma. And Parma has a team that
threatens to make all league leaders
look to their laurels.

Present Tariff Laws
Help Foreign Trade

Observation-Disclosures exported dur
ing the first eight months this year
goods in the amount of S2,5ol ,675.o0
For the corresponding first eight
months in 1922 we exported $2,425.-
555000 worth. Foi the entire year OF
1918, in the pre-war period our total
exports were only S2.4S4.000,000. The
last eight months have been wholly
under the Fordney- -McCumber tariff
act. The fact that during that time we
have exported more goods than we
did in II months under the Under
wood act shows that the protective
tariff is not destroying our foreign
markets. while the tremendous increase
in imports during the last eight
months shows that it is not keeping
other nations from selling to us.

Feed Poultry Wheat
Surplus Now Advised

Washington-Thc department oi
agriculture points out that with wheat
at SO cents a bushel. which is the ap-
proximate current price actually re-
oeived by the farmer in the wheat belt,
il is better to use wheat as poultry
feed than TO sell il and buy other poul-
try feed. At so cents per bushel wheat
would bring 5000 a ton, which the
department points out is lower than
prevailing prices for poultry food hav-
ing no greater nutritive value. II is
deemed wiser to feed the wheat to
poultry than to use il for livestock
although IL is an excellent feed Tor
cattle. because il needs TO be ground
for livestock. whereas poultry relish II
in the whole grain. BY using wheat
for this purpose the surplus can be
kept on the market and the price OF
wheat thereby stabilized.

COLLEGE DRIVE
To BE SUCCESS
At ALL COSTS
Must Not Let Economic
Conditions Stand in
Way of Campaign,
Committee Decides

Adverse economic conditions car
not and will not be permitted to stand
in the way of the College of Idaho
financial drive to be held the last week
in October, it was decided at a meet
ing of the committee directing the
drive held Monday noon. Fifteen thou
sand dollars will be sought in Cald-
well and contiguous territory as the
first stepping stone for S45.000 which
must be raised before February /,
1924.
Because of the necessity for raising
this money, and the spirit of helpful
ness which Caldwell citizens feel to-
ward the college, every available eff
fort will be lent to this drive. Gordon
Ollie and Alden Hyde were selected
chairmen of two campaign committees
from the general committee Potential
givers will be divided equally between
the two committees as a basis for the
soliciting campaign and a competitive
drive between the Greens" and the
'Reds" will be staged.
Despite the fact that preparations
for the drive have only recently been
undertaken and that it does not for
mally open for some time, contribu-
tons are already coming in, according
to Harold Jester of the college. About
$4,000 has been collected in cash and
$500 obtained in pledges, all OF which
will be paid prior to January |, 1924
All financial efforts of the college
will be based on this drive for the
time being. In college circles, it is
regarded as crisis and there is no
choice but to make the best effort pos
sible to raise Caldwell's share of the
money at once Unless the S45, 900 is
subscribed. it is likely that the condi-
tional pledge made by the general edu-
cation board will be withdrawn and it
is also probable that no further aid
can be expected from this source. This
situation was brought out by speakers
at the luncheon Monday who pointed
out the necessity for holding drive
at once and obtaining 100 per cent
of the funds sought.
]. II. Lowell was named as chair
man of the general committee He
succeeds ]. H. Gipson who has been
acting in that capacity but who is
leaving Monday for deer hunt in the
Chamberlain basin.

just issued a proclamation which calls
attention TO the enormous loss OF life

TARIFF VITAL
To IDAHO LIFE
Governor Moore Sends
Strong Message to
Denver Meeting

Boise-Govcrnor {. c. Moore, busy
man that he is, remained at Boise and
worked on the Pardon Board and
turned down the invitation TO speak
at the Western Tariff Congress at
Denver. He sent Commissioner OF
Agriculture Marcus A. Means to rep
resent the farming interests and show
ed his endorsement OF sensible tariff
with the following message;
Gentlemen, there is no question as
to the attitude of the people OF Idaho
on the tariff matter. 1t has ceased to
be a campaign issue with the great
majority OF the citizens of this COM
monwealth. Its very commercial ex-
istence is bound up with the tariff
schedule. AS far as | can ascertain
there seems to be little argument
AGAINST a protective tariff except by
small group of manufacturers who
wish to buy cheaper raw material and
make much greater profit. ms
group is found in the east, not IN the
west.
"Fortunes have been made, million
aires have been produced almost over
night by the protective tariff on pig
iron and steel and number OF other
items dear to the heart OF the eastern
protectionist. But have the agricul-
tural people of the nation been as well
protected? Not in any sense. You
know what happened to the wheat
man. the beet grower, the sheep man
and the cattle producer during the
debaclc of 1920 and 1921. Such
condition is to the everlasting disgrace
and shame of country which had
asked for over production to feed and
clothe the heroic boys at the front and
the very world itself. That condition
must never be possible again, gentle
men. or the very spectre of anarchy
will reel across our fair land.
"The principle of protective tariff IS
necessary not only TO Idaho but to the
nation at large. Ii is the only remedy
for the commercial conditions when
followed the great war. Again say
that the very existence Of the country
depends upon guaranteeing the pro-
duccr OF food and clothing a just COM
pensation for his labor and his sac
rihce. This is fundamental and the
protective tariff is the means to this
end. Without satisfied producers the
nation cannot exist.
commissioner Means will present
the figures which impress the impera-
tive need OF protective tariff for the
state OF Idaho. From my own expert
cnce have made contact with tariff
on wheat. cattle. sheep and sugar and
a. a producer OF these items ! can
speak with hrsi-hand information.
Idaho agricultural products demand
4 sensible tariff. ! trust that yos can
perfect such an organization that the
tariff may not be endangered.

CLOVER SEEDS
MOVE SLOWLY
Crop Movement Far Be-
low Normal; Quality
L. High

Washington-Movcmcnt of red and
alsike clover seed this season has been
below normal. In most producing
districts 5 per cent or less of the 1923
crop of red clover had left growers
hands by September Is. Hulling OF
the crop is later than usual and was
just beginning in some districts the
first or second week of September
About 40 per cent OF the alsike crop
has been sold by growers.
Although prices of red and alsike
clover are considerably higher than
last year. growers are not inclined to
sell at prevailing prices. which aver
age about S425 per 100 lbs. higher for
red and Sl.50 higher for alsilSe than
last year at corresponding time.
Quality of the red clover seed is
about the same as last year. while the
quality OF the alsike is somewhat
better.
Red Glover
Movement of red clover seed was
Just starting in most districts by Sep
tembcr Is. On the same date last
year about 25 per cent had moved
from growers hands. In central illin-
ois, southern Indiana. southern Michi-
gan, and southern Wisconsin to 10
per cent had moved. In southern
Idaho Is per cent and in southeastern
Iowa about 25 per cent had left grow
ers. Elsewhere the movement was
more belated and in several districts
practically no seed had been sold by
growers.
Prices offered growers for recleaned
seed on Sept. IS ranged from about
$3.50 in southern Wisconsin. south
ern Minnesota and southeastern Iowa
to SlS.50-Sl9.50 in portions OF Illinois.
Indiana, Ohio, and Michigan. The
average price paid in leading produc-
ing sections on that date was $3.50
compared with Sl4.25 a year ago and
$40 two years ago on approximately
the same date. Between August Is
September Is prices advanced 81 per
100 pounds. which was about 2sc less
than the advance that took place last
year during similar period
Eighiy-hve per cent OF the reports
received by the United States Depart
mcnt OF Agriculture indicate that
growers are not selling freely at pre-
vailing prices Growers realize that
the 1923 crop was much smaller than
last year. as pointed out in the out
look report in Weather, Crops and
Markets" for September IS, and an
iicipatc higher prices.
The arrivals Of red clover seed from
Europe during the past three weeks
have been small IS soon IS few
crop seed Is available much larger im-
ports are expected.
