INTEREST IN
THE JUDGESHIP
Many Candidates for Prospective
JObs--POlitical and Judicial

( Interest was revived among the
candidates for district Judge for the
counties Of Kootenai and Bonner this
morning when a rumor gained cur
rency that a new. candidate had been
found in Prosecuting Attorney C. H.
Potts, and that new candidate had
been found as a successor to r.. N.
Dunn as register OF the U. s. land
office in e. N. LaVeine, should the
former be appointed Judge, but an
Investigation showed that neither one
Of the two were candidates for the
respective places.
A bill that has for its purpose the
creation of Shoshone county into a
separate district to be known as the
eighth judicial and leaving the
counties of Kootenai and Bonner In
the first is now under consideration
before the legislature, but as near as
can be learned has not passed either
house, but 1t is understood that be-
yond doubt it will pass both before
the session is over, and become a law.
Judge Woods, should the bill become
a law, will resign as judge of the
first district and be appointed as
Judge for the new district embracing
Shoshone county, and this will leave
vacancy in the first district and
hard fought contest is being waged
by the different candidates for the
place.
Three Candidates in Field.
Since the bill came up for eonsil-
Grafton before the legislature there
have been three candidates in the
field for the judgeship. These are

date for the place, and this created
considerable interest He was inter-
viewed with relation to the matter
this morning, and stated that the ru-
NOR was groundless and without any
foundation whatever.

Items Gathered in
From Far and Near
Weather Bureaus lli-Mind.

From the Louisville Courier-Journal.
1t would be strikingly ironic out
come of it all II the recent attacks up
on the weather bureau should lead to
increased appropriations and extern
sions rather than the bureaus extinc-
ton, reduction or reorganization. Do
not be surprised if such a conse-
quence should come to pass. The at
lacks have had the effect so far Of
rallying about the bureau strong
champions for defense. They have
provoked public discussion of the
merits rather than the dement's of the
service And the net result is the
prevalent belief that, while the wealth
er service is not perfect, yet the
science of meteorology has nowhere
been thoroughly mastered. and so mis-
takes must be expected. Already the
means of saving life and property.
despite its errors. the logical program
for the future is one of increasing the
bureaus efficiency as against impair
ing it. The thing to do is to work for
more thorough understanding of the
science of the weather in order to
make it possible for the weather bur-
eau to analyze conditions and predict
the weather with greater exactitude.

this country taxed ten cents per
pound. The reasons and arguments
advanced are that we must protect
the tea industry of South Carolina
and that tea is luxury and therefore
should be taxed.
In regard to the first, South Caro-
lima raises about 10000 pounds OF tea
per year. The consumption Of tea in
this country is 1o0,OoO.OO0 pounds
yearly. There is no reason to believe
that South Carolina could ever raise
enough tea to be a factor. That
which Is raised there now is raised
with the assistance of the government
AS to tea being a luxury-that is
false premise-practically every one
uses tea-it is really a necessity of
life and is rated SO by political econo-
mists. The fact is that when a thing
is OF common usage it stops being
luxury-its very use makes it a neces-
sity.
All the wholesalers, retail mer-
chants, ETC., who represent the tea
consuming public protest against this
proposed tax. The reason is plain.
Your average citizen pays from TWEEN
ty to thirty-five cents per pound for
his tea. How much tea will he buy
with the tax?
This thing OF putting taxes on
things which the United States. does
not produce can not meet with favor
among those who think that the con-
sumner in the present instance ought
to be protected. '..
We believe in tariff revision, but
not in revision upward, particularly
when that tariff is going to mulct the
whole people and especially at such
cut.throat taxation as ten cents per
pound.
Won't you like to pay ten cents ev.
cry time you want to buy pound of
tea? This is thing which will hit
the consumer squarely in the pocket
book and is far from our idea of re
vision downward

The Puny Child.

From the New York World.-At the
Prescott School in Charlestown, Mass
a class was made uD of twenty puny
children who were backward in their
studies; the kind of underweight chill
dren who are no good at baseball ana
are likely later TO develop consump-
ton. In one month they gained an
average of four pounds in weight and
improved greatly in their studies.
What seems so marvellous WAS no mir
acle. They were simply taught out OF
doors. In the middle Of each session
each child had cup OF hot matted
milk So easy as that. There are
schools in New York-big, fine, new
schools-that have the prison smell
all winter and spring for lack OF ven
tilation. 1t would be a blessing to
puny children in such schools to be
taught out of doors. Meanwhile why
not let air into the schools themsel-
yes? The schools rrlst teach the
homes If New York is to conquer the
white death.

School children should be fed plenti-

1t makes the best possible breakfast for

consumption of Quaker Oats and you'll
see an almost immediate improvement in
the health and energy of those who
eat it

YOUR BACK YARD.
By EDWIN A. NYE.

YOUR BACK YARD.
Do you remember or have you heard
it-Dr. Conwelrs lecture on "Acres OF
Diamonds?'
The story is thus:
A man of South Africa wandered for
years over veldt and kopje in search
Of diamond mine. Discouraged by
his failure, he settled down ir house
One day, digging in his back yard. he
came across fnd which. being devel-
oped, resulted in the discovery of a
rich mine of diamonds.
And the moral of the lecture. OF
course, is the possibilities of your lin
tied resources. There are acres OF
diamonds" in your back yard-not lit
orally. but potentially.
Take a look at that back yard.
Have you made of it a dumping
place, cluttered by rubbish and often
sive to sight and smell? II so. the
first thing 10 do is to clean it up.
Such Il back yard is liability which,

asset.

Those people when they come over
here are amazed at the neglect of our
premises. Their people. however small
may be their little holdings. cultivate
every inch. The front yard blossoms
as the rose. and the back yard produces
half the living Of the householder.
Properly handled your back yard
will produce quantities of garden stun
scarcely believable With a little la.
Dor and care all the delicacies Of the
garden may be had. fresh and appe-
tizing. And the returns will pay dou.
bic dividends in health and pleasure.
Do not waste your back yard.
Even small place is worth your
while. A few square feet will bring
forth radishes and lettuce and other
garden varieties sufficient to supply a
small family.
