Education For Moderate Cost

The Y. w. c. A. of the Lewiston
State Normal school has just issued a
circular explaining how it is possible
for young men and women who are
without financial means to attend the
Normal school at little or no expense
to themselves. Naturally, the expenses
of each individual student vary more
or less, but ordinarily, the expense for
nine months. including board and ROOM
laundry and statienry, gymnasiun8
suits and students fees, should not ex-
coed Sl95.00. Residents of Idaho are
not required to pay tuition.
To meet the needs of those young
people who are thoroly in earnest and
ambitious, and yet who are without
the necessary funds, the Y. w. C. A
of the Lewiston normal has organized Il
students self-help committee. 1t is
the purpose of this committee to as
sist deserving students to secure work
During the last year, and for several
years, in fact, many young men and
women have succeeded in working
their way through school at Lewiston
1t may be added that the demand for
normal students is always in excess of
the supply.
Beginning with September, 1909,
there will be also available for deserv-
ing students three loan funds; the
Columbia, Tsceminican and the Nor
NAL school. The Columbian Club at
Boise offers to students of Idaho who
present sufficient credentials as to
character and evidence of need, loan
of $780, This sum must be paid in in
stallments of at least $500 month
after the recipient has secured regular
employment. The Tsceninican fund has
recently been established by the
Tsceninican club of Lewiston. The
normal school loan fund is larger than
either of the other two, and in the fall
of 1909 will probably total $1,000. De
serving students may draw upon this
fund, paying low rate of interest,
with the understanding that the princi-
pal be paid upon the recipients receiv-
ing employment
Undoubtedly, there viii be great
number of young men and women who
will thus be enabled TO obtain an educa-
ion at the Lewiston normal who
otherwise would be deprived of the
opportunity.

Work for Dry Farming Congress


The Dry Farming Congress is now
organized with some persistency and
determination to be heard from in the
matter of urging its claims upon the
attention of the public. The faith that
the promoters and operators of this as
sociation have in their claims of dry
farming methods, well carried out, can
not be questioned, says the editor Of
the Twentieth Century Farmer The
experiences and results of careful and
persistent work in eropgrowing efforts
are the evidence that is offered in
testimony of the feasibility of dry
farming methods and dry farming as
an industry.
1t is not surprising that there are the
doubtful, the skeptical, the unbeliever
in converting the dry land Of the arid
west to agricultural purposes, the
growing of crops, the cultivation of
orchards and forests, the establishing
of homes and the building up of CON-
mercial interests and industries on
these lands; we say that it is not sur
prising that some hesitated, that they
doubtthe availability of sufficient mois-
ture to grow crops; that they forecast
seasons of drouth, etc. All these things
had their period and have exerted
their influence to discourage and pre-
judice the mind of the public as the
settlement of the country has pro-
crossed westward for the last fifty
years, and yet cultivation has been the
civilizing influence that has conquered
drouth, hot winds and the baTrenness
of the plains and prairie countries that
are now the dependence in production
The Fourth Dry Farming Congress
will hold its meeting at Billings, Mon
tana, October 26, 81 and %, 1909. This
will not only be an institute for dry
farming farmers and dry farming in
structors and teachers, but it will be
an exposition of dry farming products.
such as this or no other country has
ever witnesses. There are pledged al
ready exhibits from thirteen western
states that are engaged in dry farming
work. The organization by states, to
show what each is doing and capable of
doing in the raising of grain and vege
table crops, without irrigation, is a
feature never before undertaken in
this district and promises some great
surprises for visitors.
The area of tillable lands in the.
United States not yet turned to culti-
walton is comparatively small, and IN
der present conditions of demand by
the homesteader will last but few
more years at most. 1t is only the
part of good business judgment that
the dry farming districts be investi-
gated by those who contemplate get
ting home under the free homestead
law. Good lands and the best loca-
tons will be the first taken. Each
year will reduce the quality of lands
to be disposed of as government home
steads.
The Dry Farming Congress will be
good place to visit next October, in
view of getting dry farming Informal
ton and dry farms on which to put it
into practice. The Dry Farming Con-
gress announces that there are 200. 000,-
300 acres of arabic land awaiting de-
velodement by the dry farming methods

Winding Ones Own Business.

There are good many people in every
civilized community who seem to be able
to find time for every mans business but
their own They press their ofticious Of
fers of assistance. in season and out OF
season, with an energy a zeal and per-
sistence which If applied to the conduct
Of their own affairs would result in fin
ished product we'll worth while. But it is
to be noted that In most cases persons
who neglect their own business in order
to mind another's pots and kettles do so
from no motive of self-sacrificing gener-
osity They do 1t because there is credit
to be obtained; because they will thereby
eXalt themselves and become conSpicu-
Gus: because men will laud. magnify and
honor them for their altruism and their
public spirit. Generally, one does not get
much credit for putting ones best efforts
into the home and the family. Your own
family somehow seem to take your devo-
ton as a matter Of course. They usually
regard the father as merely discharging
a Just obligation In supporting his wife
and his children. They are not properly
demonstrative and enthusiastic over a
IA hers numberless acts Of ef-sacritice
and self-effacement. y father of course,
has the right to expect that his children
shall be duly impressed every time he
spends two dollars to buy them shoes:
the loving wife should properly be enrap-
tured when her husband pays the grocery
bill or settles the iceman's reckoning or
gives the milkman something on ac-
count. But ordinarily the members of
ones own family have most discourage
ing habit of taking all these things for
granted, and of being demonstrative only
by way of protest when the wellspring of
a fathers generosity runs dry They
are not as grateful as they should be TO
the father, who has to work so hard and
do without so much TO put bread in their
mouths and opera tickets in their hands.

and all they need is the Introduction
into the proper circle of men in order to
rise. Life as exhibited In our National
capital proves some of the virtues that
we are speaking about. From cabinet
officer to congressman the list gives a
startling array OF humble beginnings IN
which the common. overlooked posi-
tions are greatly in preponderance.
This is. an object lesson that we can
well afford to think over. There are
business opportunities today that most
of us would laugh off as jest. but the
fact remains that it Is the one who sees
a chance and fights for it who is more
than apt finally to be called a self-made
successful man.
