was damaged in an explosion of a
dynamite bomb early today. The loss
is estimated at 100000.

ago. At that time the police attribut-
ed the attack to racial prejudice.

RAINS CAUSE DAMAGE
TO WICHITA COTTON

WICHITA FALLS, Oct. 49,
Heavy rains OF the last few weeks
have caused more than $500, OOO
worth of cotton. open in the fields OF
Wichita county. to deteriorate rapidly
according to Fuy r. Jones, county
agricultural agent.
The recent rains have lowered the
grade of Wichita county cotton and
have caused it be beaten into the
ground. Cotton picking has been in
terrupted by the damp weather, fogs
and the shortage Of cotton pickers.
More cotton pickers are needed in the
county and farmers are utilizing every
minute possible for the picking of
bumper yields.

High Record
for Literacy

Washington is rapidly forging
toward the top in its record for
wiping out illiteracy, Mrs. JOS
ephine Corliss Preston, State Su-
erintendent of schools and presi-
dent Of the National Association
of State Superintendents, states.
The actual rating Of the states
cannot be determined until the
next federal census is taken; by
that time Mrs. Preston hopes to
have illiteracy in this state al
most completely eliminated.
Another drive will be started
next September and if communi-
ty spirit can be aroused it will
be continued unbrokenly until
the illiterates are located and
schooled. Spokane now holds
the high record for American
cities, while Asotin county has
shown what county organizations
can do. Mrs. Preston says Asot-
in county organized. located it's
seven illiterates and rode hard
on them until they could read
and write, thus wiping out Asot-
in county's scholastic stain. Ex-
cept where there is a big float
ing population Mrs. Preston says
every county can duplicate Asot-
in's showing.

Costs Nothing

rector of the Washington State
Retailers association is a man
who thoroughly believes in ad-
vertising and he does not hesj-
tate to say that proper advertis-
ing does not cost the merchent a
cent, in as much as it pays for
itself by the increase in the vol
ume of business produced. He
also advises advertising as a
means of meeting the competi-
tion of the house-to- house ped
Ter who has been making inroads
into the business of the retail
trade in this state. Mr.. Hindley
is correct, too. Peddling has
grown because many merchants
are not properly informing the
public as to the value and desira-
billy Of their goods. 1t is a
whole lot easies and less expen-
sive to advertise and get a thous-
and people to come to ones store
than it is to send a salesman out

FOOTBALL AT
BOISE SATURDAY
lContinued on page So

On the other hand, many figure
that Idaho will just about be reach
ing her second wind by the time the
two teams clash here. There is no
question that the dope is against the
Vandals. o. A. C. beat Gonzaga ~
to 0 and the Bulldogs turned around
and walloped Idaho ~ TO 3.
Both teams won from oregon, Dut
whereas the Vandals had six point
margin the Aggies trimmed the Web
footers "a to 13, or IL points.
Southern Idaho fans have had
chance to see the Gonzaga Bull dog
in action, so they know what kind
of a team it is that can beat them
by so wide a margin. On the other
hand, Idaho fans know also the kind
of -tO-the-wall fight the Van
dals can make when pressed.
1t will be a battle between two
schools OF football thought. With a
powerful line and strong plunging
backs, Coach Schissler of o. A. G.
hasn't bothered much with aerial
work and deep stuff. His men will
sail into action like the British
grand fleet, and count on batter
ing through by sheer force of metal.
Idaho, always handicapped in the
matter Of weight, will be relying as
usual on her brilliant forward pass
assault to gain her laurels. 1t is
whispered Matty, Vandal mentor,
has perfected the neatest and gaud-
lest assortment OF such plays seen on
a coast gridiron this year, and will
open his entire bag OF tricks Satur-
day.
Dopesters figure the game will not
be so uneven as many think. In the
first place, Idaho's line this year has
been her weak point-so many mex
perienced men on It, They believe
now it has been whipped into shape
by a terrific schedule, has learned
many of the finer points of the game,
and will be in shape to stand up and
trade smashes with the powerful
Farmer aggregation.
If the line can't do this, they
claim. Matty is smart enough to
know It, and will keep his team in
keep the ball away from the Oregon
ians and in his own hands as much
as possible, and will strive to roll
up big score, by the aerial route.
free scoring game, such as the
College of Idaho Gonzaga tilt, where
the two teams aggregated seven
touchdowns, is predicted. Idaho is
hoping to get large percentage of
those touchdowns than the Aggies,
and will back their hope with a ter
rifle punch.
1t is expected seats viii be at
