ESCAPE FROM FIRE.

Human life has often been thrown
away by persons taking the precau-
tioA to accustom their minds 10
dwell on proper methods of acting
In emergencies; for want of this
many rush into the jaws Of death,
College girls should know every
means OF escape should fire braak
ont In the night when they must
depend almost wholly upon their
own wits for escape Girls in BOARD
ing houses, schools or lodging hous-
es of any kind should be very eau
tious Of fire, Often a flaming gas
jet courts the flying lace curtains
and 1t takes but an instant for the
fire to make great Roadway. The
most disastrous garment girl can
wear in winter is a nightdress of
flannel. Once ii is ignited, the danes
instantly enyelop the entire body.
Muslin does not burn so rapidly.
Another precaution should be taken
in making these garments so as to
be easily torn off in case Of fire,
when the gown Is ignited, yet hum
dEeds Of girls wear the kind without
buttons that are slipped on over the
head winding sheets, nothing more.
Naturally the mind is confused if one
is awakened in the night from a
sound sleep. Doors should be kept
closed to prevent a draught A wet
towel thrown over the head and face
has prevented many serious burns
and also enabled persons to escape
through dense smoke One should
value life too dearly to Jump from a
window until dire necessity would
compel such an act. A college Girl
| know carries in her trunk a long
coil of rope She takes it every
place she goes SO that, In case Of
fire in college or any place where
she is stopping, she could avail hor-
self of 1t without the least trouble.
1t always hangs on wardrobe hook
ready for use. In escaping by means
OF rope, a towel should be held in
the hands to prevent them from be-
ing torn on the coarse rope. The
rope should be firmly tied to a heavy
piece of furniture It is a terrible
thing to lose ones belongings in
fire, but clothes can be purchased
again and human life cannot, so
value life before personal belongings,
let them be ever SO precious. There
are always from eight to ten inches
of pure air next to the floor. If one
Is suffocating with smoke and can
to kneel for a breath of
fresh air, there is chance for escape.
Do not rush toward a hot flame or
into dense smoke, the heat causes
suffocation as soon as it enters the
lungs and one is liable to faint.

A Plan For It's Improvement and Sc.

The most striking features or agrI-

lists are deyoting TO the subject of sys-
tematic and practical plant breeding

production of agricultural wealth.
The methods by which this great
work has been inaugurated do not
differ widely from those used by ami
NAL breeders, for the principles of
heredity are undoubtedly the same
whether applied to plants or to ami
mails. Selection and pure breeding
were potent methods in bringing
about the results mentioned above.
Both are at the basis Of success in
animal breeding and have been ap-
piled for generations. Both are fairly

Definite Standards Best.

On general principles, we should
raise the standard of our breeding
stock, for it is automatic that where
there is no progression there will be
retrogression. Further evidence
Of the need for improvement may be
found in the variety Of types-the
striking lack of uniformity among
the exhibits of the same breed that
may be seen in any show ring OF i'm
portance This is due either to the
lack Of a well-understood ideal among
breeders or to variations in their
standards among judges. y breed
can not effectively 10 its share in the
Improvement of the native stock until
its promoters have a definite stand
ard in view, and the breed which is
the most uniform in the type shown
by it's individuals will be the one to
transmit its characteristics most when
its blood is infused into that OF ma
tive stock
Another reason why American
breeding stock needs Improvement
may be seen in the large influence ex-
erted upon he st0ck-breeding inter.
ests by animals bred in foreign lands
If breeding animals can be brought in
to the country each year by the
thousand and sold at a profit, and if
home-bred animals compare unfavor
ably with those imported ones when
they meet in the show ring, it GER
tainly argues the need of improve
ment in American breeding stock.

THE CONSTANT MENACE

The cowardly assault upon Editor
Joe Adams at Rexburg last week,
when he was struck with club by
somebody lurking In the dark behind
him, is pretty good evidence that Joe
was about to expose the scoundrel
by publication Of matter which was
then in his pockets ready for the
press.
The laws are rigid enough to pro-
tect men from unjust attacks by
newspapers, and 1t Is only the scound-
rel who would seek to suppress any,
thing by such tactics. A newspaper
man has always to choose between
suppressing news that his patrons
pay him for, and publishing matter
that does harm without a correspond
ing amount of good. The fear Of be-
ing exposed by the press does as much
to keep people from doing wrong as
does the fear of the law, and then
again, there are a lot Of folks who
always expect to be exempt from I'M
pleasant publicity because they sub
scribe for the paper, or because they
do some advertising or In some way
are its patrons, forgetting that they
get service worth the par value Of
what they pay in.
So long as there are all kinds OF
people in the world, the jugde and
the editor are likely to be marks for
somebody.

ATTEMPTED TO BREAK JAIL.

Frank Koplin, a young fellow con-
fined In the county jail, attempted to
break Jail Tuesday by tearing off
some lath and plaster and squeezing
out Of his cell between the joists. This
let him into an aperature under the
floor, and at bed time Jailer Leo
Pack checked up and missed him.
They spent some time trying to locate
him, and finally turned the hose into
the region of mystery. There were
noises and slight disturbances and
changing Of positions, and he stood
that for an hour and half before he
said a word Then he made fun of
their efforts and said he needed a
bath anyhow Then they shut off the
water and threw some burning sui
phur into the place where he lay, and
there was an immediate exit of a
very sorry looking lad. He had a
harder time to squeeze back through
the opening than in going out on ac-
count Of the grating slanting the
wrong way. but they made him come
through.
He will get from one to five years
for the venture.

HE RAISED HIS RATES

We are glad to note that last week
our contemporary adopted a new
scale Of rates for advertising service
that conforms very nearly TO what
the Republican has been striving TO
maintain for long time. Each year
we have made careful campaign to
gain circulation, and as two tons OF
paper cost more than a ton and a
half. and other things In proportion,
1t becomes an impossibility to carry
on the advertising business on cut
rates or rates that are changeable and
uncertain.
Within the past two or three years
the newspaper business in Blackfoo'
has been placed on a more satisfac-
tory basis than 1t was ever on before,
and by reason Of this and Of the
plants being made modern and perm.
anent, the public Is receiving better
service and more service for the
money.
We know Of but two places In
Eastern Idaho where advertising ser
vice is cheaper than In Blackfoot,
and the character of the papers do
Ing JnlS cheaper duveTtlSlH6 ~ ouoA
that people have long been passing
judgment adverse to them. A papel
without character, and the papel
without circulation, generally sci
their advertising space for whateve
they can get, and do not attempt tt
maintain rate card.
1t Is our policy to have rate, ant
to be guided by 1t at all times, max
ing exceptions only In cases Of mis-
takes on our part, and in rendering
aid gratis to the deserving poor.
