CUT THIS OUT.

Most folks living in the country
are acquainted with poison ivy.
The treatment for it is various.
A chemist recommends ga solu-
ton of a tablespoonful of baking
soda in pint of water; this is to
be applied Immediately after ex-
posure, without waiting for symp-
toms to appear" The extract of
witch hazel has also been recon-
Fmended as wash for this pur-
pose. lit is further advised to
"bathe the parts affected with
spirits of nitre. If the blisters be
broken so as to allow the nitre To
penetrate the cuticle, not more
than a single application is likely
to be necessary; and even where it
is applied to the surface of the
skin only three or four times a
day, there is rarely a trace of the
poison left next morning"

EDUCATIONAL RALLY.

State Superintendent Seymour
A. Mynders of Nashville and Prof.
z. p. Claxton of the University of
Tennessee addressed large crowd
iof our citizens here Wednesday on
the question of education.
The forenoon was alittie threat
ening and the program of the day
was changed and Superintendent
Mynders spoke at the court house.
He was listened to attentively by
a large audience, which included
a large number of ladies. Super
intendent Mynders is an able and
earnest speaker, and his address
was along the line Of those made
elsewhere and was appreciated by
those who had the pleasure of
hearing him.
Professor Claxton spoke in the
afternoon at the WHY Grove,
where a stand and seats had been
provided by the committee on ar
rangements, and for several hours
he held his audience as he pre-
scented statistics and figures show
ling what had been done along ed
vocational lines i'll Tennessee, what
the conditionsare today, land what
is now urgently needed to lower
the percentage of illiteracy in our
fair State and prepare teachers
for the needed work.
Both of these gentlemen spoke
strongly and feelingly of the great
Importance of education and the
urgent necessity of preparing
teachers for this great work.
We regret exceedingly that ev-
cry parent in Benton County did
not hear the addresses of these
distinguished educators in their
earnest and eloquent plea in be-
half of the children Of Tennessee.
However, wefeel that theircoming
among us has been beneficial and
that their campaign for education
will bear rich fruit in the years to
come. God speed the day.
AS in the past The CHRONICLE

in this great cause. Interest has

An Agreeable Surprise

The Hans Hanson company swocped
down upon us yesterday afternoon with
one of the best band organizations we
have seen here in long time and the
company gave very fine show last eve
ming at the Auditorium. The band gave
concert yesterday afternoon on Center
street, which was thoroughly enjoyed,
and the orchestra last evening was hit.
Hans Hanson is on par with the rest
OF the Swedish dialect comedies, always
entertaining. Many good specially turns
were introduced and, with the help of
the splendid orchestra, they we're all
we'll put on and we'll received. The
Hans Ha 1son company was an agreeable
and, coming so close on the heels
OF Ole Olson, the great wonder was that
the company was greeted with such
good use.-Pocatello Tribune, April

Twenty five thousand dollars for the
Irrigation congress!
That is the goal that has been set by
Monte B. Gwinn, chairman of the execu-
tive committee of the congress, who, as
Bosses representative in the list of Of
ficials OF the organization, has charge of
the LAYING of the plans for the meeting.
1t is regarded as necessary to raise ap-
proximately that amount In order to
properly care for the delegates to the
congress, who will come from far and
wide to meet in Boise in September.
Anything short Of proper reception, it
is pointed out, would result in an injury
to Boise and to Idaho instead of bene-
fit.
If we raise less than about $25,OOO,"
say the Boise promoters of the congress.
''the whole affair will simply be detri-
ment to the city; the degree of detriment
will depend on how much less than the
requisite amount is raised"
II is proposed to secure an appropria-
tion from each county in the state. and
from every city in southern Idaho as
well. All the irrigation companies will
be asked to contribute according to
their means and the benefit to be deriv- |
ed, the five sugar factories of the state
will be asked for funds, and all other in
dustries which will be benefited by the
holding of the congress in the Gem
state will be called upon for contribu-
tions.

Work of E. E. Calvin.

Il. f. CALVIN, formerly of the Oregon
Short Line, now general manager of the

OF the biggest of the big men in charge
OF affairs. Mr. Calvin is in consultation
almost hourly with General Funston.
Mayor Shimtz and Governor Pardee.
The result of Mr.. Ialvin's efforts NAV
be understood from the statement of one
San franciscan. He said Il. T.. Cal
YIN is the most efficient, most obliging. the
most thoroughly competent official with
IN the range of my acquaintance. BY
his work IN this our hour of disaster he
mas caused eveLy one of us to forgive
any sins the Southern Pacific company
has ever committed against California
IN times gone by"
And Mr.. Calvin has done great things
AT the outset he issued an order direct
ing that all persons having pass from
any duly constituted military or civil
officer should be carried to and from
San Francisco without charge. Then
he issued the free transportation order
for the refugees. Anyone who had lost
in San Francisco and wanted
to get away could ride free on the South
ern Pacific and any lines under it's con
troll Thousands of passes to Ogden l
were issued. Thousands more were is
sued to Los Angeles, to Portland, to San {
Diego and wherever else the Southern |
Pacific runs Had it not been for the
prompt, the unlimited, splendid gen. S
erosity of Mr.. Calvin and the Southern t
Pacific the situation would have been
ndiscribably harder to handle. d

would gladly undertake to raise double
the amount in entertaining the delegates

lind it the best investment ever made"
