FREE EMPLOYMENT
AGENCY ARRANGED
CHAMBER COMMERCE, FARMERS
BODIES OPERATE-LOCAL
ORGANIZATIONS URGED

A meeting of the directors of the
chamber of commerce, and repre-
sentatives of the Farmers Union and
the Farm Bureau was held Wednes-
day evening at the office of Secretary
B. c. Rowe. for the purpose of work
ing out some plan of cooperation for
maintaining free employment
agency during the harvest season. 1t
was decided that it is essential that
an employment agency be maintained,
and that the Farmers Union store
would be the best place for the office.
The directors of the chamber of COM
merce agreed to contribute up to
$500, if necessary, to cover the ex-
penSe.
The matter of working out details
was left to a committee consisting of
Mr. Rowe, Eric Oller, president Of the
Farm Bureau; George Sievers, of the
Farmers Union; A. H. Oversmith, and
o. S. Fletcher, county agent This
committee held short meeting
Thursday morning, at which circu-
lar letter was outlined to be sent to
the newspapers throughout the county
and to the various organizations, ac-
quainting them with the plans of
operation, and urging general CO.
operation throughout the county.
The following is a copy of the let
ter:
"A free employment agency for the
farmers of Latah county is being
maintained at the Farmers Union
store at Moscow. Each locality is
asked to perfect local organization
to handle the harvest situation in the
locality and every farmer should make
known through the local organization
his needs in the way of help to har-
vest his crop. The local organization
should, in turn, cooperate with the
county organization at Moscow, get
ting in touch with the Farmers
Union.
Business men should lend every
assistance for the harvest by allowing
every employe possible to go into the
harvest fields. Good organization and
cooperation will harvest the present
crop at a cost which the faZner can
pay. Farmers are urged not to COM
pete with each other by paying wage
which will leave nothing for the far
mer."

KANSAS GOVERNOR BOURBON
PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE

Topeka, Kan.-(A. P)-Governor J.
M. Davis returned from Chicago
quite thoroughly convinced, he ad-
mits, that his hat is in the ring Z"
as a candidate for the democratic no.
mination for president.
Before I went to Chicago last
Sunday 1 had not given the matter
much serious thought" Governor
Davis said "But what surprised me
was that news concerning the candi-
dacy announced here by my Kansas
friends had preceded me. Even
though I did not throw it there, 1
must admit that my hat is in the
ring. So it's up to me to acquiesce
and do what little l can to help l
feel confident that once the Kansas
democrats know l am a candidate
they will back me up with solid
delegation"

WOMEN MUST LEARN TO
ELIMINATE THE WEEPS

New York-(A. P)-Women to
succeed in business must learn to
dress comfortably without losing the
charm of their sex, and to take cor
rection from the boss without weep
ing, according to Mrs. Alice Foote
MacDougall, New York business wo-
man.
Mrs MacDougall, who predicted re-
Gently that within century women
will be doing all the business" said
that the observance of a few simple
rules would hasten the time when
they would take over such control
Other suggestions were:
Discuss abstract questions with
out making personal application of
everything that is said
Stick to agreements without
squirming if you are getting the worst
of it.
Say no at the right time"

INJURY To AGED MAN
LIKELY To BE FATAL

John Miller, aged 79 years, who
lives on North Washington street, was
probably fatally injured Wednesday
evening when his COW, which he was
leading to water, started to run,
throwing him violently to the ground.
His head struck on some hard object,
rendering him unconscious and de-
spite the efforts of the physicians, he
has not regained consciousness.
When the COW started to run it
is thought Mr.. Miller was unable to
let the rope loose and was jerked
off his balance. Because of his ad-
vanced age, but little hope is enter
tanned for his recovery.
Mr.. Miller has lived in Moscow for
many years and has been a familiar
figure on the streets.

MAKE RECORD BOOZE
HAUL ON 5. |. TRAIN

Occur d'Alene, Idaho-More than
$4,000 worth of bonded whisky, gin
rye. and some wines was taken at
Bonners Ferry, Wednesday night, in
raid conducted by two federal pro-
hibition officers, two deputies from
the sheriff's office Of Bonner county,
and Deputy Sheriff Johnson of Koot-
enai county. The officers were armed
with a search warrant for car No.
1858 of the $500" line, on train No.
Is of the Spokane International rail
way, and when they first approached
the train crew the latter made op-
position to the search, but they at
last reluctantly allowed the search to
be made.
The whisky was found packed in
gunny sacks under a large quantity
of Copenhagen snuff and groceries,
and was in car billed through from
Minneapolis to Spokane. There was
some Three Star Hennessy brandy,
well-known brands of American and
Canadian whisky, Scotch, gin, and
other liquors. The whisky was
brought here in two large trucks and
placed in the exhibit room at the fed
eral court.
This is the largest haul that has
been made in recent years and
large crowd of onlookers was at
tracted when the trucks were being
unloaded at the federal court rooms.
Owing to the way the whisky was
shipped there was no one in charge
of the goods and no arrests WIRE
made.

TWO CARS MILK
COWS SHIPPED in
N. WILLIAMSON WILL SELL TO
PALOUSE FL M E r S-ABUND-
ANCE OF FEED AIDS DAIRYING

| Believing that conditions were
never more favorable for the dairy
industry in Latah county than now,
N. Williamson, local breeder of pure
bred cattle and head of the Purity
Creamery company, has shipped in
two carloads of dairy COWS, the cars
arriving in Moscow today. The COWS,
which are of the Holstein, Jersey and
Milking Shorthorn strains, were Sc
cured from coast herds. They are
all under five years of age and all
five-gallon COWS, or better They
will be offered to farmers in the
Moscow district at just what they
cost, Mr.. Williamson states, in order
to promote the dairy industry
Twenty of the COWS are due to be
fresh within a few days. Some good
COWS will be available at as low as
$780,
Mr. Williamson states that it is
essential that livestock be brought in
to the Palouse country now to con-
sumo at least part of the extraordi-
nary quantity of forage which has
been harvested, the grass crop being
the heaviest the Palouse country has
ever known, and the price of hay
correspondingly low, making it pos
sible to feed stock at a minimum cost
Notwithstanding the low price of
feed, the price of butter fat is high
and creameries all over the country
are calling for more cream.
Mr.. Williamson is of the opinion
that it will be impossible to overdo
the dairy industry in Idaho for many
years. There is less butter held in
storage than ever before, and the
of dairy products is in
creasing steadily.

Feeding Value OF
WHEAT IMPORTANT NOW

With big crop of low-pricet
wheat in view for the fall market
there is particular interest in wha
Prof. Howard Hackedorn of the State
College of Washington has to say
regarding the value of wheat for feed
ing livestock.
The feeding value of wheat com
pares very favorably with that OF
corn,' says Mr.. Hackedorn. "The
higher price commanded by wheat as
a product for direct human consump-
tion has generally prohibited its use
as profitable stock feed
Wheat is higher than corn in its
protein, or muscle-building content.
1t is little higher in ash, or bone
building material, and in net energy
material or starchy matter. Wheat,
like corn, is not complete feed, and
should be combined with feeds higher
in protein, provided these latter
feeds are not too expensive. To give
the best results for most classes of
livestock, except sheep, wheat should
be cracked or rolled. 1t has the dis
advantage of cumming when fed to
cattle or horses, which difficulty
with the harder wheats can be over
come by mixing it with cut hay, sill
age, or bran.
Wheat has been used quite sue
cessfully in rations with most classes
of livestock which are being fitted
for the show and sale rings. One of
the standard mixtures for fitting
calves and lambs for the show ring
at the state college is 3 lbs. oats, 2
lbs. wheat, 1 lb. peas, l lb millrun,
and / lib. linseed oil meal"
"The value Of wheat as a hog
feed has been tested with 100 lb. pigs
fed in dry lot-one lot fed wheat
alone, one fed corn alone, and the
third fed equal portions of 10 lbs.
wheat to lb. tankage. The average
daily gains of the lots fed wheat,
corn, and wheat and corn, were 125
lbs, 1 lb., and 1.1S lbs. respectively,
during the 7S days Of the feeding
tests. The feed required per lb gain
was Abb lbs. wheat, 5.12 lbs. corn,
and 495 lbs. of the mixture of wheat
and corn. The average daily feed
per pig consisted of 5.9S lbs. of wheat,
5.57 lbs. corn and 5.S5 lbs. wheat and
corn mixed. The wheat lot of hogs
averaged 1874 lbs. at the end of the
test, while the corn lot averaged 1872
Ibs., which is just about normal mar
ket weight.
"These results do not show the
real value of wheat, as it is more eff
ficient when fed in ration balanced
with such protein feeds as tankage,
so per cent protein, skim milk or
fish meal, suitable for animal feed
A ration of 10 lbs. of wheat to l lb.
.ankage fed to a lot of 100 lb. pigs
or rs days made an average daily
gain per head of Isl lbs. as com
pared with 125 lbs. where wheat
done was fed. The wheat and tank

,ared ith 1914 Us. for the wheat lot.
rhe average amount of wheat per lb. /
rain was 4.24 lbs. as compared with I
.55 lbs for the wheat alone.
However, a balanced ration may

me, as the supplement may be too
Xpensive to use. Assuming the price

Tea Displac cling Beer

London-(A. Prohibition is re-
sponsible for a considerable increase
in the quantity of tea consumed
throughout the world. according to
Mincing Lane experts. Britishers now
consume tea at the rate of 81 lbs
a head, compared with 61s lbs. a few
years ago. Some of this increase is
due to the high price of beer, which
forces the British workman to "let
off steam y on pints of tea instead OF
beer.
