"Talk Quality, Emphasizs Worth, Lay

One Of the big hardware houses of

"Queer thing this reputation. 1t

meeting was held at the school
house on the Idaho side of town Tuesday
evening, at which branch of the Bon
ner County Law and Order League was
formed. Speakers from abroad were
present and urged the people OF New
port, Idaho, to join the movement to
work for the enforcement Of the laws OF
the state, especially the local option
law.
The Bonner county league expects to
raise fund amounting to $4,000 for
the prosecution of violators of the local
option law. They will have branch or
CARNATIONS in all parts of the counsy
and by keeping their membership alive
to the situation expect to be able tC
combat illegal liquor traffic. Another
means of getting at their objective point
is the endorsement of candidates fol-
county officers who are pledged to assist
the league IN its work.

IMPROVING RURAL SCHOOL.

Much Care Should Be Given to the
Class Rooms.
How about the schoolhouse in your
town? What sort of class room is
provided for your son or daughter to
work in FIVE or six hours per day? Do
you know whether fresh air is admit.
ted or prohibited in that room? Do
you know whether the room Is proper
" cleaned or is it germ laden with
sweepings? And. If you don't know.
why don't you know?
Why do you watch your child .
scholastic progress as shown In weekly
or monthly reports from the teacher
and neglect to ask what care is given
to his body from to IL and from l 80
to $3.50 five days each week?
If you heard that little Jimmie
Brown, who sits at the desk next to
your son, was carrying diphtheria
germs from the bedside of his sick
father into that class room you would
be the first to appear. before the city
physician or board of health to file a
complaint. Well, Jimmie's father has
a disease just as infectious-tubercu
losis-and Jimmie Brown Is carrying
into that close, unventilated class room
tuberculosis germs in his clothing.
Why don't you do something to pre-
vent such dangerous contact for your
boy?
Why don't you demand In your town
notification and registration for the
father and fumigation and segregation
for the son? What right have you as
an intelligent father or mother to let
your child take such chances?
These are Observation-Disclosures
questions which you as parent should
consider and answer. They contain
the reason for physical examination of
school children. This does not work
a hardship on the few, and it does
save the many.

Some Reasons For Failures Of Small
Retailers to Realize Profits.

Some Reasons For Failures of Small
Retailers to Realize Profits.
There are several reasons why the
profits Of the small retailer are not
larger. A study Of his methods re-
veals, in the first place. lack Of sys.
tenn. Operating expenses are not fig
ured down to the nice point arrived
at in large department stores. He
does not always know just how much
it does cost him to do business, and
consequently his margin Of profit is
often too narrow. Sometimes the alb
sence Of competition begets reaction
airy methods. He falls into a rut.
Stocks are allowed to accumulate until
changes in fashion necessitate sharp
price concessions on the old goods, re-
ductions that are not always met by
commensurate provisions in the price
standard Of the new goods The pos
sibilities Of the show window are more
generally neglected than otherwise,
while store interiors seem dead and un-
inviting.
The small country merchant, how.
ever, is not always asleep to his op.
portunities. Occasionally-perhaps Of.
ten would be better-one is found who
has built up very profitable trade
from most modest beginnings. He
need take no backwater from even

Made to Repair Damage to Jail

A. D. Melder, the Blanchard would be
bad man. who wanted to stand trial last
week when charged with drunkenness
and disorderly conduct, came to town
Saturday and changed his plea to guilty.
He was fined $50 and costs, which he
paid, and then expected to be released
from custody. but was Immediately
served with another warrant, charged
with attempting to break Jail. This was
rather surprise to Melder and he beg
ged off hard. Finally Judge Mcdonald
told him if he would repair the damage
he had done to the Jail he would dismiss
the charge. which Melder was only too
glad to do and the incident was closed.
