COLD WEATHER
INJURIES FRUIT
Last Weeks Frosts Take
Heavy Toll
Locally

That the cold OF Friday night, April
Is. did considerable damage to fruit
in this district is the conclusion OF
Clinton Norquest, weather observer.
From Parma comes the repor, as
published in the summary OF last
weeks weather that all cherries,
peaches and apricots are frozen, that
9 per cent OF the apples are gone and
that rs per cent OF the prunes have
been killed. From Caldwell the re-
por, says that potatoes which were
sprouted were nipped. that practically
all fruit is killed and that garden
stuff is backward.

Such is the situation in the open
ing act of The Chocolate Soldier"
which is to be given by the College
Glqe clubs at the American theatre,
May IS and 10. Rehearsals are being
held every night and every effort is
being made to make this enterprise
successful.
AL Quasi as The Chocolate Soldier
who makes his entrance through the
window. is undoubtedly fitted for the
part in every way The adventure of
this remarkable Swiss provides a
series OF the most humorous situation
ever produced in opera. Scenes OF
fainting. duels. and love affairs keep
the plot thick with fun and excite
ment. Mr.. Quasi is a well-known
business man of Caldwell. He has
had considerable stage experience in
homo talent productions. He took
leading parts in both the College
Minstrel and the Elks Minstrel shows.
Mr.. Quasi has 4 splendid tenor voice
as we'll as much dramatic ability.
Miss Lenors Wagner of Boise has
the part OF the heroine. Nadina. Her
beautiful lyric soprano voice and ex-
traordinary dramatic talent are most
pleasing in this rolq Miss Wagner's
success in the leading role of "Naugh-
ty Marietta" in the 1923 college opera
endeared her to all opcra-goers.
The latest feature is Russian solo
dance given by Walter Cameron OF
Boise. Mr.. Cameron has studied
Russian technique so this production
is expected to have unusual merit.
A Russian ballet dance will be given
by ten girls under the direction Of
Mrs. Van de Steeg of Nampa.
The grand chorus of seventy peo-
Die will be a special attraction. Owing
to the size of the girls glee club, the
girls chorus has been divided into two
companies, each to sing one night.

DISTRICT MEET
HERE SATURDAY
Fast High School Track
Men Coming for
Event

Caldwell high school is expected
to place several men in the number
of track eligiblcs for the big south
ern Idaho interscholasiic May 10 here
Saturday when the district elimina-
ton meet will be held at Cleaver
field.
Saturdays game will bring togeih-
er high school track teams OF south
western Idaho. Only point winners
a, this meet will b. eliible for entry
at the all southern Idaho meet next
week. Saturdays affair will begin at
| o'clock. and the events embrace
those on the ordinary. track meet card.
The track At the College Of idaho
where the meet will be held is not in
the best OF shape. Cinders placed
there this spring. despite repeated
rolling and treatment, have not hard
end well. This week considerable
work has been placed on the field
With fair weather. an excellent crowd
is predicted.
While Boise handily won a tri-
angular meet with Caldwell and Nam
pa last week, results OF that meet
have no bearing on the district meet
here. Competition from other schools
will make it dificu, for any one track
team to pile up a big score.
While the meet here Saturday Is
important in that it determines en-
tries from this district for the May lO
affair. the latter will be again this
year the big" meet OF the season
Last year this meet was even more
successful from the standpoint Of
records made and close competition
than was the state interscholastic al
Moscow under auspices OF the Univ
ersity OF Idaho.
College Of Idaho students, spons-
oring the meet, are preparing some
what elaborate entertainment pro-
gram for visiting athletes and high
school Students Founders day ex.

DRAINAGE BILL
GETS WATER To
ALL SETTLERS
Seasons Water Supply
Assured Drainage De-
linquents; Permanent
Relief Bill is Up

Water was turned into bitches for
project settlers who have not paid
1922 or 1921 drainage charges Monday
following instructions from J. b. Bond.
project manager, TO water masters.
Prompt action by L. J. Magee. secre-
tary of the Payette-Boise Water Users
association, now in Washington.
helped to get favorable congressional
consideration OF a ralief measure.
The drainage relief clause was ap-
pended to the Phipps relief bill. be-
came Immediately effective so far as
its relief clauses are concerned. Al
ready the same bill has served TO
postpone other charges until next
year and to have spread them over a
new three year period.
About 200 settlers had not paid their
1922 drainage charge when the relief
order went into effect Monday. 1t
is generally believed that almost with
out exception this group OF settlers
had exhausted every resource and
were unable to meet this obligation.
Without prompt relief, their crops,
already planted would have been lost.
Progress on Boise project work
is rapid. The big electric dredge,
operating "a hours every day, is now
less than two mics below the Deer
Flat reservoir embankmcnt. One
thousand feet below the dam, the
dredge will turn at right angles and
excavate a drain canal parallel to
the dam. Others, later may be con-
siructed in that district unless the one
major canal properly drains this bad
ly seeped territory. This dredge oper-
atcs at remarkable speed and exca-
Yates at cost OF about four cents a
load OF roughly yard OF dirt.
Mr.. Magee ielegraphed Tuesday
for reaction from the Caldwell Com
mercial club on the new relief bill
based on the reclamation fact find
ing commissions report. This mat
ter will be taken up this evening by
members OF the board OF directors.
II the measure is considered to meet
relief requirements, hearty endorse

RIGHTS
SURRENDER HAS
SERIOUS PHASE
Speaker Against Child
l. a b or Amendment;
States Should Handle
Police Duties

Disapproyal OF the proposed child
labor amendments TO the constitution
OF the United States was voiced
Thursday by John {. Rice. former
supreme court justice, on the ground
that it usurps authority which should
be vested in the states when he talked
before the Kiwanis club.
Citing the fact tina; he federal
government has developed from an
instruction costing taxpayers, eNcIu-
si,c OF army and navy appropriations
and war debt, Sl5S per annum per
capita in 1871 to S7.64 in 1921. Mr..
Rice argued that too much federal
government had entered the life OF
American citizens. In 1871. he cited.
there was one federal employees for
each 755 citizens. In 1921, this num-
Der had increased until one person
drew federal salary OF each l92 OF
the population.
The speaker detailed some instances
of the development OF federal bureaus
and Departments. The department OF
agriculture. he cited, when established
in 1902 carried an appropriation Tor
$4,000. Last year eighty five millions
were appropriated for thar same de-
partmcnt.
That the child labor law is prin.ari-
u a state affair and that any legislative
enactment passed by congress must
be uniform and could not, therefore,
meet local conditions prevailing in VA
rious states. were advanced by Mr..
Rice as arguments in opposition to
the child labor amendment proposal.
This proposed amendment is now
pending before the senate having
passed the house.
81 have no awe for the wisdom OF
congress. declared Mr.. Rice. 81 pre-
fer that the enactment OF 4 child labor
law be left to the wisdom OF the state
legislature Of this state do not
wish to be understood that oppose
child labor laws. But | do believe
that their eractmert and enforcement
is properly within the powers OF the
several states
The establishment OF federal
bureaus and the issuance OF bureau
rulings which have the effect OF legis-
,a,ion were sharply attacked by Mr.
Rice. No person, he declared. can
be familiar with all regulations
emanating from such sources.
He cited the Vols.ead act rs typi-
cal OF the faicre OF federal govern
ment to exercise police. powers
w henever the federal government
enters the domain OF policing, it is
taking on burdens that cannot be ac-
complished as well as they can by
local agencies Disrespect for law
results. That condition develops a
dangerous atmosphere. he declared.
Particularly is that true when young
people think it smart" to violate the
law
Twenty five years ago. Mr.. Rice
declared. the power OF the federal
government and the federal courts
was held in striciest respect. Today
that respect has almost entirely dis
appeared. And Mr.. Rice believes that
further increases in federal laws. more
constitutional amendments. will in
crease that disrespect in direct pro-
portion TO the number OF laws passed.
Unless that tendency to reach out
and assume powers not originally con-
sidered as the function Of federal gov
crnment in the United States IS
checked. children OF today will regret
Il. Mr.. Rice declared in closing.

HIGH SCHOOL TO PLAY
NAMPA

Another OF these track meet base
hall scores gave Boise victory over
the Caldwell team at Boise Wednes-
day. Caldwell collected ii runs but
that wasn't anywhere near enough TO
win. Boise tailed 10 times. farwood
pitched the entire game. He was
helped so carry out the pink and white
fielding and number OF walks didn'.
help any. Clubbing Of the local team
was the moa evident offset for the
ineffective defense. Tonight the Nam
pa team clashes with Caldwell here
This is the first game Of the season Tor
these teams and good contest re-
gardless OF the score is predicted.

SOUTHERN CITIES REAL
MAGNET FOR NEGROES
INCREASE IN BLACK POPULA-
TON is LARGER THAN IN
NORTHERN CITIES.

In order to escape the rigors OF the
southern social order both negroes
and whites have migrated. But, &C
cording to Monroe Work, editor OF the
Negro Year Book, the so-called mi
grafton to the north is a part OF the
movement of negroes to the cities in
both the north and the south Work
points out that the increase OF negro
urban population in the south during
10000 was 396,444, or $4,000 more
than the increase during the same pc
Rod in the number of negroes III the
north from the south, which was
$40. 200. Although Works conclusion
is sound. his analysis does not include
the number of negroes who migrated
during 1929. What proportion OF
the estimated 474,700 negroes who mi
grated to the north in the past two
wears went by way OF southern cities
or directly from the farming sections
must remain a matter for speculation
until disclosed by a more intensive
study. Nevertheless, the report OF the
M S. Department of Labor concern
mo the increases OF skilled negro
workers in the northern industry dur
ING 1929 seems to indicate that
many OF them formerly resided IN
southern cities. where they learned
some trade or followed semi-skilled
occupations.

GRADE OF COTTON
LOWERED BY RAINS
CROP IN SOUTH GEORGIA NOT
MATERIALLY REDUCED IN
VOLUME. DELAY PICKING.

The South Georgia cotton crop has
not been materially reduced by the
recent excessive rains, but it has been
considerably lowered in grade.
The condition OF the crop in this
immediate vicinity is not believed to
have been seriously damaged, but in
sections OF north Georgia the crop has
been laid low by the winds and rain.
LII other sections the cotton has
sprouted in the bolls and serious dam
age is believed to have resulted.
Shortage of Labor.
In sections where the cotton has
sprouted in the bolls badly spotted
grades will in all probability be the
result. In certain sections of South
Georgia the rain came at time when
the shortage of labor had prevented
the cotton from being picked. Al
though much of the crop was already
picked and waiting at the gin, that
which remained on the stalk was Sc
riously damaged. This will be sold at
a lower price. The rains, however,
were not accompanied by winds and
severe weather and in all well-drained
fields the crop will not be materially
reduced i'll size.
In South Carolina, North Carolina
and in parts of North Georgia, where
the crop comes at later date, the
rains have resulted i'll serious damage.

WARDENS ACTIVE.

The season for hunting cat SPUR
rels and o'possums began October lst,
and all sportsmen should remember
that they need licenses to shoot and
that it is necessary to have the con-
sent OF the land owner before hunting

cept between October 10th and Jan
iary 31st The game law will not per-
nit migratory ducks to be killed be-
fore November lst. and the hunter
is allowed to bag rs in a day.
Wardens and deputies will be es-
pecially active this winter in looking
out for baited fields. 1t is against the
law to bait dove field or to shoot
in or around a baited field. 1t is also
violation of the law either to buy
or sell in open season or. out any
quail, doves, snipe, woodcocks, cur
LEWIS, wild turkeys, grouse, pheasants,
marsh hens, deer, squirrels or summer
duck. This applies to everybody, in
GLIDING hotels, restaurants and cafes.
County Game Warden Mcneil will
enforce the law in regard to hunting
without license. All hunters must have
1924 hunting license. Those caught
without a license will be prosecuted,

A company OF trained dogs is also
a feature that will please. Some OF

CHICAGO, Ill.-Federal agents
seeking reasons for the excessive
use of "sacramental wine" in Chi
cago, have discovered that many
OF the "rabbis" signing with
drawal permits have Irish names,
and that the franchises issued to
congregations" indicate a Jew

in Chicago alone. This is $780,
600 more than the entire popula-

Probing still further the federal
agents discovered that the bust
