EXPERIMENTS IN WATERING
The Duty of Water for Irrigating
Purposes
Don II. Banks, Government Expert,
Will aid Ranchers in Use of
Water

Don H. Banks, who is charge of
the irrigation experiment work for
the department of agriculture in Ida
no, states that the prime object of
this work is to get information as to
the amount of water which will pro-
duce the maximum crop on piece
of ground under certain set of con-
ditions. Every set of conditions will
be taken into consideration, so that
when the work is finished thew will
be able to furnish data which will
show the farmer of any section Just
how much water he should use for
any sort of crop he is raising on
his farm.
BY getting from this department
the data that will be published when
these experiments are finished, he
can get that information, and it will
probably be worth thousands of dol
lars to him.
"A ~" VI IHCoC experiments we're
carried on last year and some valu-
able data obtained. AS there are many
different kinds of soil and conditions
of rainfall met with in different parts
of the west, it is necessary in COM
pleting the statistics along this line
to make experiments for each one
of these sets of conditions, and there
is still a great deal of work to be
done.
is a well known fact among men
who have studied conditions that
great deal of water is wasted by irri-
gators in every state where the pro-
duction of crops depends on irriga-
ton. With the publishing of these
statistics large percentage of this
waste should be curtailed.

NEW. CODE WILL RAISE GRADE
OF SCHOOLS
Teachers Must Measure Up to High
Standard of Efficiency

State superintendent of Public In
struction Grace N. Shepherd is send
ing out information to teachers in

northern city the coming summer.

ing of certificates In the first, second
and third grades.
For first, second and third grade
certificates teachers must at least
have finished a six weeks course in
method of teaching, history, geo.
graphy and arithmetic. The holders
of second and third grade certificates
may renew them by attending six
weeks in any summer school and in
receiving credit in two subjects.
Under the new code, teachers from
other states holding certificates there
in. are granted state and life certifi-
Gates in Idaho. The new law pro-
vides that every applicant for third
grade certificate shall be examined
in orthoepy, spelling, reading, pen
manship, arithmetic, elementary COM
position, grammar, geography, his
tory of the United States, the civil
government of the United States and
the state of Idaho, physiology, and
hygiene with special reference to the
effects of stimulants and narcotics
upon the human body, school law,
the manual of the elementary course
of study for the common schools of
Idaho, and the elements of agricul
ture; and in oddition to passing ex-
aminations in the aforesaid subjects,
the teacher should have attended
professional school for teachers for
at least six weeks end shall have re-
ceived in such school standings in
the school laws of Idaho. in school
management, and in the methods of
teaching reading and language, arith-
metic. history and geography. Pro-
vided, that the provisions of this sec
ton relative to attendance at pro-
fessional schools for teachers shall

PEOPLE ARE AROUSED; MORE so
WHEN THEY PAY UP
(Statesman)

The state board of equalization de-
clined to rescind its action in declar-
ing for cash value assessments, not
withstanding the taxpayer will be
nicely done in view of the fact the
way has not been paved for the inno-
vation by reduction of the fixed levies.
State Auditor Taylor, who favored
recession, set forth the best possible
reasons. He says the high valuation
plan at this time is unwise because:
l. 1t will raise nearly $1,000
600 more than is necessary for the
general interest and sinking fund.
2. Because it would raise a vast
sum greater than is needed for the
common schools.
5. Because the piling up of this
vast amount in the treasury would
likely lead to lavish expenditure
of funds, thus increasing the burdens
of the taxpayer.
4. Because this money could not
be expended; it could only be loaned
out to banks at 3 20 interest, to be,
in turn, loaned out to these same tax
payers at from 10 to 1870 interest.
5. Because it would mean a loss
of from $4,000 to 100000 in taxes
to Shoshone county, on account of
mines being taxed on their. net profit.
6. Becase the fact that the asses
sors must collect on certain personal
property at time of assessment at
the present rate would virtually mean
the confiscation of property. In some
localities the rate is over 6 per cent,
and an increase of fourfold would be
equivalent to tax of "a per cent.
on present values.
Z. Because the farmers of this
state will suffer the greatest porpor-
tlonate raise under present conditions
8. Because the consequences of
this sudden change to full cash valua-
ton have not been fully Investigated,
and the consequence cannot be de-
termined with that certainty which
should govern in matters of such vast
Importance to the people of the state.
.. Because under the present cha
otto condition of laws passed for low
valuations and high valuations in as
sessments 1t is not practicable to
change our present system of valua-
ton at this time.
10. Because of the above obiec-
lions, and those arising almost daily
as the subject is further investigated,
the policy sought to be established
Will be found to be so burdensome
and obnoxious that this most import
ant reform will be set back for years
to come.
Governor Hawley's valuation plan,
premature and unbusinesslike, will
force the people to pay much higher
taxes. They will be compelled to pay
into the treasury money that cannot
be used. 1t will be loaned to banks
at per cent. and by them to the
people at 10 per cent. Fine for the
banks, but tough on the people! \ +
The people are already aroused
and are protesting. Their agitation
will be far greater when tax pay day
comes.

VALUE OF TRADE MARK
Noted Advertising Man Says it is
an Essential to Business.

Many manufacturers in the United
states have lost thousands of dollars
through failure to select good trade
name for their goods or allowing their
trade name, to become so popular that
it is defined in the dictionary, accord
ing to clowry Chapman. of New York
Mr.. Chapman spoke before the Des
Moines Admens club Wednesday
evening" ..1
Mr.. Chapman has carved out new
profession in the business world, and
he is the only one in the profession.
He is known as an expert in trade
marks and trade names, and it Is his
business to tell the manufacturer if
the trade mark or name he has chos-
en- is good or bad.
A good trade mark or trade name is
an asset to any business, MIR. Chap
man declared, but he warned the ad.
vertising men to stay away from the
bad ones. Such trade names as ''ko,
dak, "linoleum," "celluloid," and
many others are lost because the
manufacturers have allowed them to
become dictionary terms. That ad.
mits them to common usage.
AS sample of good trade mark,
Mr.. Chapman referred to the "Y, &
E." of Yawman & Erbe. Il know
positively that more than so per cent
of this company's mail comes adj
dressed to "Y. & E." instead of Yaw.
man & Erbe.
The National Lead company faced
death in the panic of 1907 and the
adoption of the Dutch boy painter as
a trade mark for it's wares saved it.
The Dutch boy made friends right
and left and the first year after its
adoption the sales of the company's
product increased 20 per cent over
the best year the company ever had
seen.
"A good trade name is an asset to
any business, but poor one. opens
the way to unfair competition that
will be snapped up by the people who
have been watching you grow"
Mr.. Chapman urged the advertisers
to make their ads interesting ond
write their copy in such manner
that readers could taste" the maple
syrup or smell" the aroma of the
coffee that is advertised.

Against Change of Rule.

What Cheer, Oct. 2S.-Special TAX.
ing a firm stand against any change
in the attitude of the church in re-
gard to amusements, the Oskaloosa
district conference OF the Methodist
Episcopal church closed three days
session here. The Rev. C. l.. Stat
ford, D. D., of Oskaloosa, district su.
perintendent, was in charge and the
Rev. H. C. Millice of Kellogg was
elected secretary. Thirty.tive mem:
bers were present. The conference
passed a memorial to the next gen.
eral conference to be held at Mime
apolis next May asking that there be
no change made in the church rules
regarding dancing, card playing and
theater going. 1t was expressed as
the opinion of the body that any al
teration in the stand toward amuse-
ments would be construed as giving
permit to the members to engage in
what hitherto has been forbidden.

ICE CO.ENLARCE PLANT
New Storage House 32x100 to be
Constructed at Once.

Some big improvements were start
ed this morning by the Oskaloosa Ar
tificial Ice Company. The plant was
closed down Saturday evening after
continuous run of seven months
and FIVE days, from March %, when
the engines We're started, to October
% inclusive, or a total of 220 days.
During this period, the great engine
that furnished the power for the
plant, evaporates and condenses the
water used in the freezing process,
has been in operation day and night
without stop during the entire time.
This is long period of service but
the engine was made for that purpose
and stands the wear as we'll or bet.
ter than a watch going for the same
length of time.
A new storage house thirty-two by
one hundred feet and with twenty
foot walls will be erected at theNplant
Immediately and as rapidly as men
can handle material. When this shed
is completed the plant will be put in
operation again and operated until
sufficient ice has been made for pack
ing and storage. Work on the found
alton of the new shed was com.
menced this morning.
