A few days ago number OF news
naper owners from ali parts of the
limited States were in Washington for
the purpose of urging the president to
take some action against the paper
trust. They brought an appeal to the
president to use his influence for the
destruction of the paper trust. They
asked, first, an investigation into the
trust itself and action by the attorney
generals Office for its dissolution; sec
ond, that white paper and wood pulp
be put upon the free list Both of
these requests were acceded to by MIR
Roosevelt. There will be in the presi-
dents message reference to the duty
on print paper and pulp. How much
this may accomplish is doubtful. If
wood pulp is put in the free list Can
ada will possibly put an export duty
upon it, and Canada is the only coun
try from which it can be imported
The really effective way of saving the
newspapers of the United States from
impending disaster is for active action
against the trust which neT controls
the print paper supply of the country
1t has ceased to be a secret that what the
paper trust is now working for is. first.
more profit fer itself and. second. to take
the one cent paper out of existence.

Sew the sides of the smaller pocket in

using fine cream-colored cotton to

preferred. 1t must be pleated up as
narrowly as it can be and finished
with a bow or rosette. At the back
a large hook should be sewn on by
which the pocket can be attached to
the waist.
Similar receptacles for handker.
chiefs, keys and other trifles may be
made, if preferred, with one division
instead of two. Also ribbon of a mar.
rover width may be employed If the
pocket is to contain nothing more
than handkerchief.

The Moman's Study League of Po-
catello has enrolled this year the
largest membership in it's history, the
membership now being fifty-two. The
interest at the meetings is as great
as at any time In its eleven years of
progress and usefulness. At the
meeting last week twenty-six mem
bers were present tho the afternoon
was a rainy one. The subject this
year is the history of England, be-
ginning with Chaucer. The club is
not departmental. the League having
always felt that for this purpose of
serious study 1t was better to CEN
tralize on the one thing. The wisdom
OF this has been continually felt by
the organizers and the older men,
bers, and this years work carried
on by more than fifty women, all In
terested, seems proof that the build
ing of the present traditions and ten
denotes are on right principles. The
spirit of criticism is absent from the
League. The whole atmosphere is
one of helpfulness.

Sunday Rest Law is Constitutions

Boise, Dec. 1.-THE Sunday Resi-
law enacted at the last session OF
the legislature was today sustained
by the supreme court without a dis
senting voice. The court finds the
law constitutional in every detail,
and valid in all its parts. The case
was brought in the district court
here to test the law, the defendant
being F. w. Dolan, proprietor of a
fruit stand. District Judge Wood
held the law valid, and the case was
appealed. This law provides that all
general business places shall close

A Merry Christmas and q Happy Nev
Year!

A glance backward for encourage
ment and look ahead for cheer. Nevel
has the General Federation of Wo
mems Clubs had more cause for Joy
full celebration than in this year oil
1907. Never has there prevailed a
greater spirit of harmony. Not the
aemblance Of a cloud has arisen to
distract from the fine steady march
in good work. Never has legislation
been SO effective and satisfactory in
the respective States. Never has there
been better realization of the great
principle that study Is only the foun-
dalton and that the certain obliga-
ton following Is the building Of
the structure, the putting Of beauty,
OF happiness. of justice, of regenera-
ton into the world. And 80 Merry
Christmas. Happy Christmas, and
a Laughing Christmas to each and
every one,--a Christmas which shall
make multitude rejoice in the fact
that we have life.
For the New Year? 1t is ours to
belive in the Federation and its aims,
to look upon club as a part Of life,
to give 1t distinct place, exactly
as we do the family, the church, and
the social duty. It's mission is great
and indispensable for the women of
this generation, If they wish properly
to face the responsibilities so surely
and rapidly coming upon them. It
teaches industry, 1t teaches courage
and faith and happiness. 1t makes
life interesting and vivid, and 1t Is
creating mighty army of citizens
soldiers, peacefully warning to build
and keep Republic Republic
which shall be great not only in ma
terial progress, but in the glory of
intellect, of justice, of liberty, and of
love.
A Happy and a great New Year!

ton,

Their Fund, as ours, is raised by
subscriptions from clubs and individ-

us were born here, has very dear
place in our hearts. Let us in this ef-

east, but let us be one in our loyal

our first year one hundred dollars

These loans were all made at the

If the fund is increased sufficiently
to warrant it, the convention can de-
