COINCIDENCE.

A plank of schooner, picked up
on the ocean shore at st. John, N. B.,
has this message carved on it: Lost

After tossing on the Atlantic five
years, this plank returned to the
very port from which the schooner
sailed. No wonder sailors are super
stitious. Coincidence, herewith al
most unbelievably illustrated, is ex-
PLANTATION of most mysteries.

FOOL OR KNAVE.

ing Of English in our schools is somewhat neg
lected but it comes as surprise to learn that
some eminent college professors are ignorant
of the meaning of ordinary English words. Fer

the Presidency, favored the United States So

Mr.. Harding said on that subject, month be-

SAYS CHURCH PREACHING
TOO MANY GOSPELS

Stockholm-The Christian church
has no message today for a dying
world, as a matter of fact the Chris
tian church is preaching many gos-
pels and the result is confusion and
failure" DR.. Curtis Lee Laws, of
Brooklyn, said today in addressing
the Baptist World Alliance.
Denominations are being rent
asunder today he said, "and those
who have long been bretheren are in
warning camps contending not over
non-essentials, but, alas, over the very
foundation principles of Christianity"
If this theological war is fought to
a finish, he said, at least the pre-
sent generation will perish for lack
of vision Believing in the sincerity
and high moral character of these
warning theologians," he said, &c beg
of them in the name of Christ and
perishing humanity that they will
quietly, lovingly, prayerfully gather
about a table with Gods book before
them and let that settle every dis
puted question. That book is the
ultimate ground for authority
Dr. Laws criticized the people who
fail to attend church. Today we have
the Arabs of the avenues and the
Bedouins of the boulevards, he said,
and they are "as far removed from
Christian influences as those who
dwell in the slums of poverty and
squalor.
1.-The palatial hotels and magnifi-
cent apartment houses send as few
people to the churches as do the
tenement house districts. Our hearts
are touched when we hear of vast
stretches of territory on the frontiers
where no church people can be seen.
But far more sinister is the fact that
church buildings. almost
in number, are to be found
in the midst of the teeming millions
of all our great cities ministering to
but handful of people or else utterly
deserted and finally abandoned"

BIRTH DECREASE
VITAL IN FRANCE
GERMANY GROWS STRONGER,
FRANCE WEAKER, IN NUMBERS
BLAME MORAL STANDARDS

Paris-(A. P)-The peril of a
greater, stronger Germany over
whelming a steadily weaker France
by sheer force of numbers, looms in
creasingly large in the pessimism of
French sociologists studying the
shrinking birthrate of their country.
The increase of 100000 in popula-
.tion for 1920, small as it was, aroused
the hope of the government and the
public for it was generally believed
that the rush of war-tired soldiers
and women, anxious to marry and
establish homes, was the turning
point. They have been disappointed.
The net excess of births over deaths
the following year was only 5000 and
the results of last year, still being
tabulated, are rather dreaded by
sociologists and economists.
President Millerand not long ago
spoke of the birth rate question as
" that of life itself for France" His
he said, were devoted to fur
thering the creation of homes and the
rearing of children.
Frances plight in world of war
is likened to that of the little boy
who grows slowly while all his com
panions develop like weeds. In the
10th century France had half the
of Europe; at the end of
the 18th she had only one fourth, and
today she has little more thaT one
tenth.
Since 1871 deaths have exceeded
births. and only immigration has
saved the race from rapid extinction
by loss that frequently was quar-
ter of a million year.
Whatever the reasons for the hall
century of decreasing birthrate, the
present shortage of living quarters,
the vicissitudes of life, and the
lowered moral standards are blamed
today by students for the condition
hat persists in spite of really ma
.ionaI campaign for more children.

WHEAT HEADS Are
UNUSUALLY LARGE
COLUMBUS CLARK SAYS YIELD
BIGGEST SINCE 1907-HAR-
ING COST HIGH

County Commissioner Columbus N.
Clark, who has farmed extensively in
the Palouse country for many years,
is in Moscow from his farm near
Juliaetta, and states that in his
opinion the wheat crop which is just
ripening will be the biggest harvested
since 1907, and will come pretty close
to the 1907 yield, when so bushels
to the acre was not unusual, and not
a few crops went so bushels or more
The growth of stray this year is
greater than in 1907, Mr.. Clark
states. The wheat yield will be some
what reduced by smut, he states, but
not to the extent that many seem to
think
One of the noticeable things about
this years crop, Mr.. Clark says, is
the length of the heads, the average
heads containing from one-fourth to
one-third more grains than for the
past several years. Last year and the
year before SIS grains to the head
seemed to be about the average, while
this year there are few heads that
have less than rs grains and in al
most every handful of wheat that can
be grabbed out of a field without
selecting, number of heads will be
found which have 100 grains.
Mr. Clark called attention to the
abnormally heavy cost of harvesting
this year, estimating the cost of put
ting the grain in the warehouse, af-
ter it is in shock, at more than 40
cents a bushel The cost of thresh-
ing promises to be from 18 to 20 cents
a bushel, and sacks are costing IA and
Is cents, to say nothing of the high
price of labor. The harvest will be
unusually long, because of the large
amount of straw to handle and this,
coupled with the fact that the grain
is ripening a little later than usual,
will mean that harvest will probably
run through the month of September.

BOLDING SEES NEED OF
TOURIST CAMP GROUNDS HERE

]. M. Bolding, accompanied by Mrs.
Bolding and their three daughters,
have just returned from a month s
vacation and camping trip by car.
They visited several cities in Oregon,
and spent several days at Diamond
and Crater lakes, fishing and camp
ing. Leaving Oregon they Travelled
up the coast and spent some time
at Tacoma and Seattle. They also
visited at Vancouver and Victoria,
B. G.
The Boldings carried a full camp
ing outfit with them and camped out
every night during their absence. Mr.
Bolding said that Moscow's greatest
need today is a camping and tourist
park that would be a credit to the
city. In almost every town of the
size of Moscow they found every faci-
lity for the tourist and the towns
that were the boom towns were the
ones who catered to the tourists.
Bend, Oregon, was given as an ex-
ample by Mr.. Bolding, as town that
was profiting by the tourists and the
highway conditions. He said that
every indication was for that city to
increase until it was large city be-
cause of the climatic and industrial
conditions, and the attitude the citi-
zens took toward the communitys well
fare.

UNITED STATES AND
ISLAND POSSESSIONS

Congressman Burton l.. French
gave an instructive talk to the sum-
mer school students Friday morning
in assembly, when he explained some
of the things that had been done by
the United States for Haiti and Porto
Rico and some of the West Indies
"The United States took over these
countries for two reasons" said Mr..
French. "First, to rid itself of a pest
and second to keep other countries
from getting a foothold so near this
country and the Panama Canal. The
islands were in deplorable condi-
ton at that time, most of the people
being illiterate and over half the
children coming from unmarried
parents. There were no roads, or
bridges and no means of communi-
eating from one end of the country
to the other.

French pointed out, ''in one of the
provinces, there were also fifty presi-
dents, most of these meeting their
death by violent action of one kind
or another. The people are over
eighty per cent negro and come from
a long line of serfs and people who
were accustomed to be ruled, so they
have no confidence in the power of
each other to rule.
"Since the United States has taken
over these islands they have done a
great deal to develop the country and
it's people. Schools have been estaG-
lished in the countries and the num-
ber of illiterates have been cut down
to a very small fraction. Roads and
bridges have been built and are of
the best quality, thus affording good
means of transportation and COM

conditions have been perfected and

selves; where they regarded SANTA

in life, and where the people were

pended by Idaho during the two-year
period ended December 81, 1922, ac-
cording to a detailed report on re-
ceipts and disbursements prepared
by State Budget Officer George w
Lewis and submitted to Governor c..
G. Moore today.
This amount is divided into the fol-
lowing subdivisions: Total expenses,

The item of total expense repre-
sents the cost of government for the
two years. This covers salaries and
all expenses of state departments,
bureaus and institutions. A large
portion of this amount comes from
sources other than taxation.
The governmental cost of the two

AMERICAN PRODUCTS FIND
JAPAN GROWING MARKET

Tokio-(A. P.)-The growing popu-
larity in Japan of foreign shoes and
clothing has opened up new market
for American goods and machinery.
American representatives here are
doing an increasing business. Some
years ago Japanese society, following
the lead of the Empress and ladies of
the court, adopted European dress,
but latterly, although the court con-
tinues it's use on state occasions, the
women of Japan have returned largely
to their picturesque kimona and obi
as more becoming.
On the other hand, they are dress
ing their boys and girls in foreign
dress as it is easier to keep clean and
gives the children greater freedom OF
action in their sports. Several of the
big shoe factories, including those at
the army and navy arsenals, are in
stalling shoe machinery to take the
place of hand labor. Some of them
had this machinery before, but it had
fallen into disuse and is being rein
stalled.
