Ii you really knew you could own one of the handsome, big
automobiles which the Tribune will award within a few short

THE BOY
SCOUTS NEW S
BY A L. KING
Chairman Troop Committee

The Boy Scouts is one of the great
est organizations in the world today
for the boys of today and the men
of tomorrow. Every speaker at a
recent Board of Trade meeting spoke
in favor of the Boy Scouts.
The present Wildwood Troop was
organized in the office of the writer
and by him. At the last Board of
Trade meeting he made an appeal to
the men to help organize a Fathers
Association, which organization would
elect a Troop Committee to look after
the affairs of the troop, and the gen.
eral body of the association will look
after and take care of all boy and
girl activities in Wildwood. 1t would
assist the school authorities in every
way possible and would, with the
playground commission, take proper
care of the playground situation, the
Fairgrounds which caused some ad-
verse criticism when they were in
augurated and which will in a few
years be a great asset to u coming
generations welfare.
Ten years ago thirty-five founded
such an organization in Frankford
and at the last meeting at the Frank
ford High School, one of the largest
and best in Philadelphia, there were
$500 men in attendance. Good fell
lowship abounds, prominent speakers
and fine entertainment prevail and
we have just as good, right here in
Wildwood.
A meeting will be called at the
Boy Scout Cabin, opposite the rail-
road stations, on Friday evening, May
18th, at 7.30, at which time we hope
to pack the building. At this meet
ing we will form a Fathers Associa-
ton Of Wildwood, N. ]. Every man
in the county is invited-come out and
be your boys pal and help him help
himself. Be proud of him and do
your part and it will be an easy mat
ter to make this organization a grand
success.

NATIONAL WHEAT
CONFERENCE AT CHICAGO

Chicago go.-Representative OF tarm-
ers' organizations OF the west, south
and southwest were among the alriv-
ais today to attend the national wheat
conference, which opens here tQnor-
row. C. S. Barnett of Atlanta, Ga.
president of the National Farmers
union, declared that .he nonpoliiicdl
nature of the conference held out
hope that from it might come Il plan
for the stabilization of wheat grow
ing in America on a sound economic
basis.
I'VE come here as wheat growers
to meet with representatives of the
business interests of the country" he
said I'VE come from all parts of the
country, in which our political inter
ests are all different We didn't come
here to talk politics. but business, for
our business interests are all the
same.
'sThe fact that the business, finan-
cial and transportation interests in
the manufacturing states are coming
here to put their heads together with
the wheat growers of the farming
states makes it possible for us to
set up a practical plan to save the
wheat growers from bankruptcy"
Wheat farmers from the west said
that many growers were planning TO
plow under their 1923 crops. John
Mitchell, a delegate from Colorado,
said that every member in his dis
trict would be bankrupt is called up
on to pay his debts and that all were
planning to abandon wheat raising
this season.
w F. McCauley, and S. w. Hester
of Dayton, Wash, declared that
wheat farmers in that state were 60
ing bankrupt and would be unable to
keep going if they were not support
ed by local bankers and merchants.

EACH ON LIQUOR CHARGE

Justice Naylor yesterday afternoon
fixed the bonds of Charles Shoop and
Henry Vandewalker, charged with
having liquor in their possession, at
$500 each. Date of the hearing can
not be fixed until the return of Pro-

man Olson, in an alley off Eighth

midnight The men had one bottle
partly filled with moonshine, and had

ever that might be, to have the bottles
filled.
Shoup and Vandewalker are repre-
sented by the law firm of Morgan
& Keane.

JUNE RAINFALL

ALFALFA CROP READY FOR
MOWER FARMERS FEAR CON-
TINUED RAINS HARMFUL

While, as a rule, there is nothing
more welcome in the Palouse country
than the June rain, the farmers are
beginning to think it is possible to
receive even too much of this good
thing. This is especially true of the
farmers who have alfalfa ready to
cut, and they are not & few, as there
is al unusually large acreage of al
falfa this season, and it is Just now
coming into bloom. indicating that it
one day of sunshine, raiu commenced
falling last night shortly after mid
night and has continued steadily
through the day.
While the wheat crop has not been
damaged by the unusually long spell
of cloudy and rainy weather, it has
got to a point now where sunshine
and moderately warm weather would
be most beneficial. The ground is
thoroughly soaked, farmers reporting
that they are unable to take their
teams into the fields and have been
compelled to take their stock off the
summerfallow, where they have been
pasturing.
The second growth of alfalfa is be-
ginning to show, and if the first crop
can be taken off in reasonable time,
there will be good second crop,
because of the supply of moisture.
Warm, dry weather will be necessary,
however, If the first crop is to be
saved, as the moisture in the ground
will come up through, and make it
difficult to dry the heavy alfalfa when
it is in the sWathe

of the rains, but the time has come

REORGANIZATION
PLANS UNDECIDED
STATE EDUCATION BOARD WILL
BE MINUS BRYAN AND
PRICE JULY

No plan of reorganization for the
state department of education and
the vocational education department
has yet been made, according to an
announcement given the Idaho States
man by Dr.. E. A. Bryan, state COM
missioner Of education, upon his re-
turn from a recent trip to Moscow.
There has been much speculation
as to what the state board Of educa-
tion would do after July 1, when DR..
Bryan and A. c. Price, auditor and
business agent, leave the department.
Their positions have been eliminated
because the legislature refused to ap-
propriate funds for their salaries.
A movement was started in north
Idaho recently, at the meeting of the
north Idaho chamber of commerce, to
raise funds for Dr. Bryans salary
but the commissioner did not speak
of this Saturday, says The States
man
The legislature also failed to ap-
propriate sufficient funds to keep the
organization Of the vocational educa-
tion department intact, and three
members of this section have re-
signed, making some sort of reorgani-
zation necessary.
Another Meeting Probable
1t is possible, DR.. Bryan said, that
another meeting of the board will
he held before the end of the month,
probably in Boise, to discuss these
matters. Several members of the
board and chairman of the vocational
education committee, did not attend
the meeting in Moscow, but if he
returns to the state before the end
of the month it is possible another
meeting will be called.
In the event the meeting is called
DR.. Bryan said he would make a
for the reorganiza-
ton Of the vocational department as
follows:
Consolidation of the directorship,
the trades supervisorship and the re-
habilitation agency into one head.
This will better balance the work, he
said, as the overhead of the rehabili-
tation agent has been too large in
with the total expenditure
for the work. There would also be a
Of agriculture and one ste
to complete the Organiza-
ton. eff this is rejected" he said,
g will submit another recommends
tion.,' However, DR.. Bryan did not
say what the other recommendation
was.
In the state department of educa
tion of which he is head as in the
vocational department. there are no
plans for reorganization. In fact"
DR.. Bryan said. s don't believe there
will be reorganization"
If the board does not meet before
the end of the month the personnel of
the office. exclusive of DR.. Bryan
and Mr.. Price, will remain at their
posts.

5000 CARS OF APPLES
TO MOVE DURING 1928

Idaho will ship, 5000 cars Of apples
from the 1928 crop, according to esti-
mates being compiled in the state bu-
reau of plant industry at Boise. The
report will be submitted Monday to a
member of the interstate commerce
commission, in a hearing at Pocatello.
The Pocatello hearing is for the
purpose of making survey of the
car situation in the northwest during
the last crop season, and to get esti-
mates of the northwest's crop this
year, in order to provide for an ade-
quate supply of cars. Idaho's case
will be presented by the public utili-
ties commission.
In addition to the apples estimate,
the report shows that there will be
approximately 2200 cars of prunes,
200 cars Of cherries, 800 of peaches,
and about 1000 of lettuce.
