OUR NATURAL sAvAGERY
II Will At Times Break Through the
Veneer Of Civilization.

Il Will at Times Break Through the
Veneer Of Civilization.
It's Il mighty short step from modern
civilization to the natural impulses Of
ancient savagery. IL you don't believe
it just watch some time, and you'll,
see small boy-or IL grown man-tlis-
cover a rabbit
The first thought that CONES into his
mind is to kill the rabbit. Quickly he
searches his mind to see where q
weapon can be found.
The second thought is to secure q
rock to throw ut it, just as some cave
man might
A man finds a snake coiied in the
road. It may be q harmless snake,
but it's a snake, and therefore his
primitive instinct calls upon him to
kill it.
A weapon! He seeks about for q
club, just as his ancient, skin clothed
ancestors would have done, and, hav-
Ing secured the club, he dispatches
the snake, his sou! singing Will, tri-
umph. >.~.
Modern civilization probably would
have urged the man to cut a forked
stick and catch the snake by the neck
with it, then to secure 10 cents worth
Of ch|uroform and kill it swiftly and
painlesSly But he goes after the club
just as naturally as if he had never
seen Il steam heated flat or ridden on
4 trolley car or seen an automobile
Children roam in the woods and eat
every variety OF berry they can find
It matters not il they be poisonous
They taste them all from the looks,
and the amount eaten depends on the
taste. This is probably what tho cave
children did, and the modern infants
show the same intelligent caution re-
garding what they put in their mout his.
It's that wav all through We may

Natural Gas.

The natural gas of Pennsylvania is
odorless. Its presence cannot be de-
tected by smell. That is the explana-
ton of many Of the disastrous explo-
sions which occur. The gradual leak
age from a natural gas pipe may fill
cellar or a room. This leakage may
occur directly from the pipe or the
gas may travel some distance through
a sewer pipe Then when a light is
brought into the cellar or room a ter
rife explosion occurs, often destroying
the building and sometimes tearing up
the street in front. - Philadelphia

The Latin LANGUAGE,

Latin was one of the original lam
guages Of Europe, and from It sprang
the Italian, French. Spanish and Por-
tuguese languages. Many words Of
our own language are of Latin origin.
1t ceased to be spoken in Italy about
5S1 and was first taught in England
by one .Adelmus in the seventh cen
tury. The use of Latin In law deeds
In England gave way to the common

where people are not satisfied with
the scheme.
In the second place where will
district get funds with which to pay
for this system. This must be in cash
and paid within six months after or
ganization? This question has never
been answered.
And, again, where can a district
raise money for all this preliminary
survey the expenses Of a special cleo
ton, and other items of expense? You
have got to show the people Of Noun
tain Home before they will put their
money up for any wildcat scheme,
and all these things will require mon
ey, possibly three or four thousand
dollars. Who will stand good for this
amount? 1t is safe to say that this
would be a serious barrier on the
start.
The Carey Act scheme as proposed
by the Gilmore Irrigation Company is
good one and those promoting the
district plan should at least give it
fair chance. Then, If it fails they
will have an open field and all the
assistance they require, but unless
they will do this, the field will be
one of strife and bitter contention
and the citizens of Mountain Home,
the real victims of an INSCRIPTIONS
few.
The irrigation of Mountain Home
is not newspaper enterprise. News
papers, like other business institu-
tions, are mere incidentals and the
views Of their editors should be tenn
pered by the desires of the citizens
and the real needs of the people
Mountain Home should be the first
consideration of everyone and not
the field of exploit for adventures or
those inspired with a selfish desire
to reap a benefit from her misfor-
tunes. Today is only stepping stone
her promises and all her brightness
should be an incentive to everyone
to sacrifice a little now in order that
the returns should be ten fold when
we are finally successful. The peo-
pie Of Mountain Home are patient
and have suffered long. No one should
be permitted to take advantage of
their good nature by attempting to
Il wart their will for mere personal
gain. The greatest good for the great
es. number should be the one object
and that all may be benefited should
be the desire of everyone with the
welfare of this fair valley at heart.

THE WORKING GIRL

"A Working Girl" signs her name
below the statement. 1--WE are not all
street walkers" No. my dear, you
are not. We all know that; but, can
dldly, most of you look like it. Time
was when a woman of the under
world was known by her clothes, es-
pecially for her hat and the way she
dressed her hair. But today what is
there that she can do to distinguish
herself? What is left to her in the
way of dress or coiffure? l heard a
man of much worldly experiences
say lately, Il know of men who say
they can distinguish them (the scar
let woman) but I'll confess I cannot.
They all look alike to me-" So long
as women and girls wear the extreme
and unusually ugly hats, or pile
their heads with-what? So long as
they throw simplicity and good taste
to the winds and dress like street
walkers, just so long must they en-
dure the treatment of which she bit
terly complains. From the society
leader down to the lowest of her sis
