Great interest was manifested in the

the Better Baby exhibit and program
that is being given under the super
vision of the women's clubs of the
city. The exhibit is being held in the
Methodist church and as a whole is
very comprehensive and practical. It
takes in almost every phase of child
life: his health, his dress, his mental
development, and his play.'
The display that seemed of most in

fants' wear and nursery fixtures. This

The children's book exhibit is under
the supervision of Mrs. Du Priest.
There are books of travel and wild
animals for the boy and fairy tales
and nursery rhymes for the less ad
venturesome reader. These books
have ail been selected from the educa

is under the direction of Mrs. iddings.
The toys are all such that will please
the little minds, yet at the same time
cause development.

The other exhibit is loaned by the
school of veterinary science of the

SECY. BARKER SEES
REPUBLICAN SUCCESS

mal Announcement Not Made
''Moscow seems to be booming eve
ry time I come here; everything lo,ks
fine ,and as usual I have enjoyed ry
visit very much." This is the state
ment made today to a Star-Mirror re
porter by Secretary of State C
R. Barker, who, although he, has as
yet made no formal announcement of
his candidacy has signified to his
friends that he will enter the ruce
to succeed himself as secretary of
state for another two-year terras.
Mr. Barker, who is on his way >o
Spokane from Lewiston, feels very
sanguine respecting the conditions
with regard to republican success in
the coming election. He predicts an
easy victory for the republican party
on both state and national tickets. He
is enthusiastic in his endorsement of
Senator William E. Borah for the
presidency and thinks his chances ex
cellent.

argument against him seems to he his

Barker, "seems to fit into the situa
tion admirably and as well as any
He has many friends in the
residence in the extreme west."
''Idaho is naturally republican, and
I think there can be no reasonable
doubt of complete success this year.
In regard to my own candidacy, I
may say there is a theory in Idaho that
an official is entitled to re-election
who makes reasonably good, and on
that assumption I shall come before
the people at the primaries."
Secretary Barker reports that ir
rigation conditions in south Idaho are |
much improved. The state land board
is making every effort to protect the
settler by urging upon the companies
not to throw open more land for set
tlement than can be cared for by the
available water supply. Although the
land board can not technically determ
ine this matter, it can annul the con
tract of any irrigation company dis
playing bad faith with settlers, and ;
thus the board has a strong hold over j
the companies.
Secretary Barker spoke at the uni- j
versity assembly this morning and !
made a brief address before the Cham- j
her of Commerce at the noon-day
lunch. He left this afternoon over the j
Inland for Spokane.

ARRIVALS FROM CHIHUAHUA DE

SEVERAL FOREIGNERS

Denounce Carranzistas—Assert Thai
They Stepped Aside And Let
Villa Pass
By the United Press Associations.
EL PASO, April 11.—American car
airy is reported to have entered Dur
ango today. Villa is believed to be at
Tepenhuanes, traversing the main
highway leading to Durango City.
Arrivals from Chihuahua have
brought a new version of Villa's
wounding. They said that a Mexican
shot him at Guerrero, after his daugh
ter had been outraged. He tried to
escape after shooting the bandit, but
Villistas captured him and took him
before their chief who killed him.
Passengers from the Chihuahua de
clared that Villistas had murdered
several foreigners, Including three
Americans, an Englishman, some
Frenchmen, and a German.
The travelers strongly denounced
the Carranzistas. They declared that
the troops of the do facto government
stepped aside and let Villa pass.
It
is unknown whether the Arrieta
brothers, commanding large forces in
Durango, favor Villa. Supposedly
they are Carranzistas, though it has
been reported that they opposed the
American expedition.
