WEATHER SUMMARY

Southeast Moderate tenn
peratures obtained throughout the
week Cloudy, threatening weather
with scattered local showers marked
the fore part, while unclouded skies
and bright sunshine characterized
the latter half. The showers were
generally too light to bring relief
from drought which in many Iocali-
ties is acute. Weather conditions
were for the most part favorable for
the advance of vegetation in the ir-
rtgated districts and crops made
good progress. Dry farm crops,
however deteriorated steadily. Po-
tatoes and corn are doing well, all
though the nights are not warm
enough for best growth of corn.
Sugar beets have been badly dam
aged by the fly in the Weiser and
Twin Falls sections. The peak of
the strawberry harvest has been
reached in the Boise valley. Sour
are now coming on the mar
ket. Apples and prunes are grow
ing nicely. Haying went forward
rapidly and in the earlier districts
much Of the first cutting is now safe
Iy in the stack or NOV. The crop
was secured in excellent condition,
)ut in many localities the yield was
shortened by weevil and drought.

CAMPFIRE GIRLS
BACK FROM OUTING
Spend Week at Prices Plunge on
Boise Riyer-Other News
of the Ferry
Glenns Ferry.

Glenns Ferry.
The Walohi Campfire Girls re
turned home Sunday of last weeI
from fiye-day camping trip at the
Price Plunge, near Pine. The girls
left Glenns Ferry the previous
Wednesday at dawn, reaching Pine
about 1 o'clock. Sam Bostic pro-
vided the means of transportation
and also treated the party to dinner
in Pine, which the girls greatly ap-
preciated.
The trip was not without excite
ment, for on the way up one Of the
wheels on the big truck in which
they were being conveyed came
loose and a passing auto driver
called their attention to the fact.
One of the members sitting at the
rear became excited, fearing that an
accident might occur at any moment,
and believing in safety first, sprang
from the car, injuring her ankle.
Going into Pine another of the girls
received a blow on the back, nearly
knocking the stuffing out of her. A
branch of a tree extending over the
roadway was responsible for this
second incident.
However, tired and happy, the
crowd of fifteen girls, accompanied
by Mr.. and Mrs. G. 0. Phippeny, ar
rived at their destination in due
time and Immediately went into
camp. No tents were provided, the
girls preferring to sleep in the open
under their blankets in truly west
ern style. Campfires and impromptu
eeremonials, hikes and tips,
swimming and games, were enjoyed
iuring the period of the camp. Fri
lay night the weather changed
slightly and Saturday morning the
girls awoke at dawn to find that they
we're covered with snow, and though
t dampened their clothing and the
morning was bitterly cold, yet moth
ng could dampen the fine spirit and |
enthusiasm which prevailed through
nut the entire trip.
Saturday evening the boys of
who had been attract
d by the bevy of beauty which had
'een mysteriously transplanted

pIucked up courage
nd yentured to extend an invitation

iven in their honor in Featherville,
1hich they gladly accepted, and
rom reports received they had one
real good time" retiring just be-
ore midnight to their camp among
he pines.
Sunday evening the camp was de-
srted and the homeward trip be-
an. They arrived safely about $3.50 /

Father Was in Hills

One sad feature of the tragedy
was that Edward Johnston, father OF
one of the drowned girls, was in the
Owyhee hills at the time Of the
drowning, and it was not until late
Monday afternoon that he was
found and notified of the sad affair.
Dempsey Bailey, brother-inlaw of
Alice Evans, was also away on a
fishing trip, but he too was notified
Monday.
Besides her parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
William Evans, Alice leaves six sis
ters to mourn her untimely death.
Gladys Johnston leaves her pa
rents, Mr.. and Mrs. S. D. Johnston,
two brothers, Elmer and Virgil, and
one sister, Goldie.
The Sutton boy is survived by his
father and a brother, both residents
of Arco.

No Inquest Was Necessary

Inasmuch as the sad affair was a
plain case of accident, Coroner John
Crete of Owyhee county decided that
an inquest was unnecessary.
The Evans family is well known
in Mountain Home, where they re-
sided for many years. They are at
the present time residing on a ranch
near Castle Greek.

Gazing Bank Responsible

AS near as can be learned, the ac-
cident was the result of swimming
party attended by several young
people of the Castle Creek neighbor-
hood. The scene was at Clark's
Ferry, where Castle Creek empties
into the Snake river.
The young folk were on sandbar
which suddenly caved in and precip-
itated the swimmers into a deep
hole, and the Evans and Johnston
girls were at once sucked into what
seemed to be a whirlpool.
Sutton at once went to the assist
ance of the struggling girls, but he
also was sucked down.
1t is said that Goldie Johnston
and Elmer Johnston also narrowly
escaped the same fate as their sis
ter, finally reaching the shore.

Amsterdam Rejects United Front

The Amsterdam International (the Interna-
tional Federation of Trade Unions) meeting in
Vienna few days ago, is reported to have again
rejected the idea Of unfying the fight against war
and fascism by means of a united front with the
Russian unions and with the Red international of
Labor Unions.
This is no surprise to those familiar with the
record of the yellow Amsterdam leaders. Since
1914, when they joined their respective govern
ments and sent their followers to slaughter one
another, thru the days of the 1888 upheavals
when they helped shoot down the revolving work
ers in the streets of almost every European capital
down to the present day. the Amsterdam bureau
Gratis have taken every opportunity to further
divide and weaken the working class.
| One development in the Vienna congress, how
ever shows that the policy of betrayal is longer
so profitable as it was. This is seen in the move
ment to the left of some of the industrial secre
tariats. notably the metal workers, the food work
ers, and the transport workers. These three sec
retariats have admitted the Russian unions
formed agreements for fighting together upon Ger
tain issues, and, altho they have sabotaged these
agreements, they have thereby shown that the ranl
and file of their organizations strongly in favor
of steps towards real international unity in actor
of the working class.
The leaders of the Amsterdam international ar
traitors and will never be anything else But thei
followers are members of the working class, an,
the policy of the Red International of Labo
Unions, carried out in the international field a
it is in the United States by the Trade Union Ed
ucational League, has drawn this rank and fill
closer to the revolutionary international and vii
ultimately bring them completely over to Con
; munism.

Success to Harvest Drive

The annual harvest drive of the Agricultural
Workers Industrial union Of the Industrial Work
ers of the World has commenced in Oklahoma and
Kansas and will sweep north into the DakOtas
as the wheat ripens. This organization, since 1915
has done excellent work in raising wages, shorten
ing hours and developing class consciousness in
the grain belt
The winter "stake" of many thousands of
workers must be made during the harvest season.
On this sum will depend their livelihood thru
the dark winter of unemployment that seems to
be looming ahead And the size of the "stake''
depends on their aggressiveness in banding to-
gether in spite of constables, sheriffs and the
small town American Legion gangs that infest the
wheat country
This summer many unemployed city workers
will tackle the harvest The complaint has been
made in the past that union men have frequently
forgotten their union principles, worked for the
'going" wage and failed to join the only union
in the harvest feld-giving the excuse that it was
an "outlaw" union. This is a wretched excuse for
scabbing. The American Federation of Labor
has refused to organize the migratory harvest
workers and every genuine union man will sup
port the organization which is doing so, in the
particular field where it functions.
In like manner when wobblies go into an indus
try which is organized by the American Federation
of Labor they should join the union of their fellow
workers in order that there may be no division in
the ranks of labor.

The Fifth Congress

Millions of workers the world over have their
eyes fastened upon the Fifth World Congress of
the Communist International now in session in
Moscow. The hopes of the worlds proletariat are
centered in this gathering, which concentrates the
organized power, WILL and intelligence of the rs-
ing class that is soon to rule society.
While the Communist congress proceeds the
forces that brot it into being continue their work
uninterruptedly. The breakdown of the capital
ist system becomes more and more evident, and
what we're but cracks in it's giant walls short
time ago now show themselves as great breaches.
In Italy, the triumphant Fascist party of coun-
terrevolution is completing the destruction of
capitalism under the guise of reestablishing it,
and Fastening the proletarian uprising Recent
revelations stirring the entire italian work
ing class to action after several years of apathy,
while the last resources of capitalist resistance
have been exhausted. The workers and farmers
government is near in Italy.
In Germany, quick upon the heels Of a retreat
that seemed to threaten disaster, the working
class had made another great advance in the May
elections, which showed that in the industrial
ters the Communist party of Germany has posi-
tive majority of the working class. The 100000
votes in Germany are the guarantee that the revo
luton will soon rescue the unhappy masses of
that country from the slavery of international
capitalism.
In France, also, the center of victorious i'm
perialism, the workers have learned the lesson
that there is but one real victory for the workers.
and that victory is the one that overthrows the
capitalist class of France as well of the rest of
the world. The French workers are but a step
behind the German.
In Great Britain the development is slower, due

Vdidn't give a damn what capitalist
newspaper or labor leader disagreed
with them.
Not even the cleverest labor report
er at st. Paul could invent theory to
fit Alex Howat, the great, rugged
Kansas miner. In his speeches, short
and powerful as the, blows Of min
er'B pick, there was no hint of Mos
COW; there was only the need of
American labor expressed. William
Bouck, who looked and talked as if he
had dropped his plow in the field to
attend the convention, was also puz-
zler to the reporters. He was a work
ing farmer, and not even the skillful-
est American liar could make a sin
lister foreigner out of him.
Duncan Mcdonald, who will run for
President on the Farmer-Labor ticket,
was manly, self-possessed authentic
lfigure-an American miner, obviously,
and the former head of one of the
largest miners groups. And then
there were men in the convention like
Robt. Cramer, of Minneapolis, and the
kindly and earnest labor editor Will
liam Mahoney, aid able John Kennedy,
Of Washington, and Beebe of the
Nebraska farmers, and many, many
others.
Then there sat the delegates them
selves, red-faced, sun-tanned farmers
in rough, baggy clothes, with hands
calloused by the plow, and industrial
workers with pale faces, and so many
of them non-Communists, yet undis-
turbed by the daily shrek that went
up all over the land against this Com
munist convention, so-called.
1t WIS a new phenomenon for some
of these labor reporters, and think
some Of them must have felt helpless
in the face of it. Reporters believe in
nothing except their weekly pay-check,
but think few of them must have
believed in one thing when they left
.here-and that is, that the labor
skates do not dominate all of America,
and that there are sizable number
of workers and farmers in America
who are determined to establish real
party of their own.
AS a friendly visitor" let me say
that the Communists distinguished
themselves in this convention by their
tact, their restraint, and by their real
and unselfish desire to help in the for
nation Of this new party. After all the
false alarms about seizing control,
they demonstrated that they did not
want control, but unity. The proof that
they did not attempt to capture the
convention was the fact that none of
the mont Communists bolted the conven-
tion or the platform, Except two soli-
tary soldiers of Gompers and La Fol
lette, whose sniping hurt nobody, and
who went back to their generals emp
ty-handed.)
