copies, and it is likely that a number
of them will adopt the text for class
work this year, DR.. Crawford declares.
AS evidence of the value of the
work, DR.. Crawford points out that the
class of ISL students to which the
work was given in lecture for this
year, had just one-half the failure per-
centage of the entire university for
the first six weeks period, and one
fifth the percentage failure of the
institution at the close of the first
twelve weeks.
DR.. Crawford received his B. A. and
M. A. degrees at the University of
Texas in 1918 and 1919. He received
his Phi. D. degree from the University
of Chicago in 1924. Teaching expert
ence includes high school, normal
school, junior college and university
experience. Before coming to- the
University of Idaho in 1923 he taught
at Carnegie Institute Of Technology,
Pittsburgh, where his work of investi-
cation for the textbook was started.
During recent years he has had arti-
cles on education problems published
in numerous magazines, including
School and Society, School Review,
Journal of Educational Research,
Journal of Educational Psychology
and the Idaho Teacher.

Plan Poultry Conference
At Tacoma, August 3O-3l

An economic conference on poultry
will be held at the Hotel Winthrop in
Tacoma, August 80 and 81, according
to an announcement made at the
State College of Washington. This is
the third of series of conferences
which the State College is arranging
to assist in developing a better bal
anced agriculture in the state. Con-
ferences have already been held on
dairying, hay, forage crops and cereal
crops
This will be a working conference.
The specialists in poultry work at the
college have been gathering material
for two years which will be submitted
as working basis. Men actively en-
gagged in the industry are asked to
add their own experiences to this and
draw up recommendations for the
benefit of Washington poultrymen.
Problems which will be considered
will no doubt include production, cost
of production, Matching, incubation,
diseases and local and export markets.
All persons interested in any phase
of the industry are urged to attend
and take an active part in the con-
ference.

THE largest quota Of neurisA-
ment with the smallest amount
of strain upon the digestive appa-
ratus is required when the temper
AZURE climbs to the nineties. Sim
pie foods, along with phileseph-
ical attitude towards the mounting
mercury, will do much to counter
act the dreaded effects Of dog-day
heat with its resultant lowering Of
vitality and energy. 1t Is a dictum
of the medical profession that milk
and milk products are among the
most easily digested Of foods and
that they are unrivalled IN body
building value.
Among these products. Toe cream
ranks high according to q recent
statement in McCalls Magazine by
DR.. E. ". McCollum and DR.. Nina

Health. There Is no more attractive

placed along the road three or four
hundred yards from the stand will
give. the driver a chance to slacken
speed if he is at all in the notion of
stopping. Other signs at intervals of
so yards calling attention to special
articles such as Sweet Cider, Filberts,
Ripe Peaches, Home Made Ice Cream,
Fresh Ranch Eggs, or Golden Bantam
Corn, rs cents per dozen ears will give
an added incentive to stop. Finally
a large attractive sign at the farm or
stand, carrying only the name "OLD
HOMESTEAD FARM" will bring in
the traveller if good things to eat have
any attraction for him at all.
An attractive farm name is a very
decided asset to the roadside market
as it can be used in all advertising and
will draw return trade. Who have not
heard of Red Rock Cottage Cheese ii
they have travelled the roads of West
ern Oregon and Washington?
Occasionally an advertisement in
the newspaper will serve to call at
tention to the time of ripening of sea-
sonal crops such as tomatoes or the
various fruits. Tags or labels bearing
the farm name or brand, placed in or
on the package are also a means of
further advertising. Near the larger
towns well lighted stand during the
evening will attract customers who
are out for drive.
Roadside marketing has developed
rapidly with the increase of auto and
competition will undoubtedly be keen
er in the future than in the past. This
marketing is not essentially different
from city marketing, and those who
are developing such market can get
many ideas from the city merchants
in their struggle for success.
A frequent mistake is to add too
many side lines, such as gas and oil,
groceries, store candies and confec-
tons, tires and auto accessories I'm
less one is careful these soon mount
into large OUTLAWS of capital which
make profits very small.

SWEET SLEEP!

Sleeping is one of Life's absolute
necessities. Insufficient sleep will
quickly cause ill health; lack of it
death.
When do you sleep soundest? Elk
periments show that sleep is deepest
during the first three hours and again
toward the end of the sleeping period.
One is almost conscious through the
middle of the night when some slight
sound or bodily discomfort may cause
wakefulness. This is not serious If
bodily rest is maintained.
Most of us sleep eight hours and
more is needed by children.
The darkness and stiffness of NIGHT
are favorable to sleep, but habit and
Fatigue are more sure to produce
sleep. A nap in the day is often more
restful than like amount of sleep
at night, and such nap should be
taken when the nights sleep has been
insufficient.
Civilization and city life tend to
shorten the hours of rest. The anxi-
cites of life and the present increased
pace of living unduly tire out the
nerve centers of the brain, which can
be repaired only by sleep. Social
ACTIVITIES, the theaters and diversified
radio programs speed up the mental
machinery at bed time, and often
make relaxation difficult In the same
way, the reading of exciting fiction at
bedtime might interfere with sleep.
The ability to sleep soundly with
out dreaming should be cultivated
continual hurry, worry and excite
ment should be avoided, for they pro-
duce mental state unfavorable to
sleep. Those who follow active men.
tai work all day should have intervals
of rest.
Regularity of work and rest, simple
living and attention to personal hy-
glene are important aids to sleep. At
the onset of sleep, more blood flows
through the skin and the abdominal
organs. The brain becomes less filled
with blood. Exercise in the open air
makes good sleep more sure by divert.
ing blood from the nerve centers to
the muscles.
II you find you are not sleeping well
1t Is better to discover and correct
the cause of wakefulness than to be-
come dependent upon sleep-producing
drugs. The cause will almost certain.
~ be found if ones habits and envir-
onment are systematically investi-
gated and a complete physical exam
1nation is made by physician.

than in good Ice cream, and DR.!
McCollum advises It's use parttcu-
larry for children whs do not like
milk and for persons who demand
food with marked favors.
He further states that censidsra-
ton should be given the fact that
Ice cream Is a substantial food, rich
In energy content and In protein.
For this reason the menu should
be planned SO that 1t will be prep
erly balanced. When q generous
portion Of Ice cream is to be served
for dessert, enc should net eat to
his fill Of staple foods and add the
ice cream as a trimming.
DIR. MeCollum's statements con-
corning this most popular dish
brings the welcome thought to the
heme-keeper that Just around the
corner she may procure this health
full food at low cost and that the
whole family may eat Of II to their
full capacity with pleasure and
profit.

Idaho Football Coaches
Ready for Grid Season

UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO, Moscow.
Coaches Charley" Erb and David
C"Mac'0 Macmillan are back on the
campus, getting settled and looking
things over for the coming football
season and for the new developments
in physical education that were prom
ised when Erb was hired as director
of athletics and Macmillan was pro-
noted to be director Of physical edu-
cation. This was following the resig-
nation of R. L. Matthews last spring.
Erb has been playing baseball this
summer In the Sacramento valley. He
has thrown away the big dark-rimmed
glasses he was wearing when he was
here In the spring-says he doesn't
need them any more. Several good
athletes are coming UP from Sacra-
mento to attend the university, he
says.
AS to Idaho's football prospects for
next fall, II can't commit myself" he
said. AS matter of fact, Erb doesn't
know what material he is going to
have. Nine first-string men from last
year were graduated, leaving at least
six first-team positions To be filled.
A dozen other letter men are due to
return, but whether they actually will
appear. the new coach does not yet
know. One of his tasks for the COM
ing month or six weeks is to find out.
IF l have as good material as | had
in Nevada" he said, 1--WE may do more
than is expected of U.S."
Before the university year opens,
Erb probably will make get
acquainted trip through the state in
company with George e. Horton,
alumni secretary.
| Macmillan, who taught physical edu-
cation and coaching in the summer
school at Boise, has just returned by
way of Yellowstone park and will be
here for the rest Of the summer. He
and Erb are in consultation regarding
the program for fall-especially foot
ball. Macmillan is supervising rear
rangements in the gymnasium in prep
aration for the enlarged work in ply
steal education.

Farm Electricity Report
Ready for Distribution

UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO, Moscow.
Printed copies of the progress re-
port Of the Idaho committee on the
Relation of Electricity to Agriculture
are now available for distribution.
The report, which was prepared by
Prof M. r. Lewis, head of the univer-
sity department of agricultural engi-
neering and secretary of the commit
tee, was approved at the recent COM
mittee meeting in Boise.
The published report presents the
relation of electrical use to farm de-
velopment in Idaho, including maps
showing transmission and rural dis
tribution lines, a state map showing
rural consumers, a general discussion
of electrical power in Idaho and the
use of electric power on the farm,
both from the central stations and
through organizations Of farmers CO.
operating for distribution of electric
power bought wholesale from federal
VI QUIET pTOuuCeTS.
The detailed studies, conducted dur
ing the past year by Professor Lewis
and his associate, Prof. Hobart Beres-
ford, show that approximately one
farmer in five in Idaho makes some
use of electric current. The relative
number in Idaho is much greater than
in most other states, being four times
the average for the country and 10
times the number for some states.
The manuscript was submitted to
the national committee on the Rela-
ton of Electricity to Agriculture and
DIR. e. A. White of the committee
asked the Idaho committee to have
1000 copies printed for distribution
throughout the country.

Nantucket has had it's first auto &C
cident. Nantucket Island, just off the
coast of Massachusetts, has long been
the refuge of artists, authors and play
wrights, and for years automobiles
were barred from the island as if they
were the mechanical reincarnations of
Lucifer. Among the former residents
of Nantucket Island was Bronson
Howard, famous author Of young
Mrs. Winthrop" "The Bankers Daugh-
ter" and Shenandoah" and it was
this old time playwright who was SO
active 20 years ago in getting the
Massachusetts State Board of High
way Commissioners to erect the bars
of automotive prohibition around Nan
tucket Island. Mr.. Howard wanted to
leave Eat least one place on the foot
stool where the very young and the
aging might walk the highways in
safety" he steadfastly maintaining
that the advent of automobiles would
bring with it death and deprivation.
Bronson Howard died in 1908. For
ten years Nantucket remained true to
his memory and militant guidance,
but finally lowered its gates to the
motorcar in 1918. Less than two
weeks ago Nantucket suffered it's first
automobile accident and death, there

was not pedestrian. Rather, the life

ATTRACTIVE SIGNS NEEDED IN ROADSIDE
MARKETING OF FARM PRODUCTS

nOAD-SIDE marketing of farm
products offers interesting posi-
bilities for Washington farmers
Though this system of marketing has
not yet been extensively developed, its
wider use in the future will no doubt
come. Those who have farm produce
to sell will be interested in some OF
the principles of advertising these
markets.
Since successful roadside market
ing is so largely achieved by silent
craftsmanship, that is, the appeal
through the eye, attractive signs and
posters along the highway on each
side are very important. OF the many
markets crowding the highways in
this state very few have attractive
signs or posters.
Signs displayed are frequently not
only failure as sign but are exceed
ingly unattractive along the highway.
State highway regulations should be
carefully observed in placing these
signs. The majority can be read only
at short range and are too often
scrawled on board or single which
is too small or of such color that the
words are very indistinct
The best signs are the simplest.
Letters at least one foot high should
be neatly painted and spaced on the
sign. Colors which produce strong
contrast are easier to read; a comb
nation of black and white is hard to
beat.
These signs must be read rapidly
by the traveller and the fewer the
words used to convey the information,
the more effective they are. These
are but two or three things necessary
or any sign; it should state, first,
what is for salei second, where 1t is
sold; and sometimes third, the price.
Frequently the first two are all that
is necessary, and if right at the mar
ket only the first is needed.
The name of the person or the
brand of the product often makes the
sign more attractive, such as: John
sons Newtown cider; or Fresh Ranch
Eggs, at Barred Rock Hennery; or
Dreamed Cottage Cheese at The Green
Meadows Dairy. An attractive an

~ Methods of Study is the title
of a textbook for education students
being published by DR.. C. G. Crawford,
professor of secondary education of
the University of Idaho. The book is
designed for high school and college
freshman use and is the result of five
years of research work by the Idaho
professor.
The book was written last summer
from data and notes collected since
1921. During the college year just
closed the book was used in the uni
versity here in lecture form. Revi-
sions were made this summer and the
book was given to the printers less
than fou, weeks ago. 1t is now be-
ing bound and sample copies are
ready for distribution. Printing was
by the Moscow Publishing Company.
1t was while teaching at Carnegie
Technical Institute, Pittsburgh, in
1921, that DR.. Crawford realized the
lack of an authentic work on the sub
ject of study methods, and under DR..
H. w. Charters of that institution be-
gan the work which he has now COM
piled in book form. He attempted to
classify the difficulties facing student
study, and approached fifty-five col.
lege professors to learn how they
solved those difficulties in their class
rooms. Several hundred students were
then questioned.
According to DR.. Crawford, num-
Der of acceptances of the book for pre-
scribed work during the coming year
have already been received, including
Washington State College, University
of Idaho, kellogg, Gooding, and Nez
Perez high schools. Approximately

charming bit Of landscape in
Toyland. And in winter what
CHEEKY dash Of color against the
snow!
Perhaps your house is painted
white, grey or green with a yell
low trim. Then paint the fence
yellow, tco, and plant a row Of
golden glow or sunfowers behind
it. By way Of contrast have scarlet
saliva or geraniums along the
front of the house.
A cozy cottage by the sea might
be painted cream with trim of
marine blue, and have its fence
painted the same lovely blue. Train
vari-colored sweet peas over the
blue fence, and have a colorful
patch of peoples and cornfowers
somewhere in the yard.
A light green fence as sup
port for red and pink rambler
roses would be a Joy to behold.
