Long Live the Tomboy

Do not teach our young girls that
they must NOT pass through tom
boy period. There is time in which
the clean boy and girl live and enjoy
in the manner and after the nature of
sexless animals. During this period
and in Natures own way, there come
to the fore principles that will be
utilized to advantage at later date
when more clearly understood. For
bid the girl to ride bareback and to
climb a tree, and you rob her of the
chance not only of healthy exercise,
but of the chance to understand when
mistress of her own home, the keen
enjoyment of her athletic mate when
the horn calls him to the chase, or
the nations signal beckons him from
her side to war. One noble mother
may indeed smile through her tears
at the thought that God gave her
seven sons who could lay down their
lives for their country. For every
one of her, witness hundred who
today chafe at the thought that their
husbands find pleasure in athletic
or robust interests that amomentarily
lead to forgetfnlness Of them. From

Curious Foods

Man is the only animal that laughs,

may be added, that he Is about the
only animal that is an omnivorous
feeder; all-devouring; swallowing the

doms Unfortunately. That he pays
the price Of his catholic appetite, the
fact that eighty-five per cent. of all
the diseases that atlict him arise
from the digestive organs, go to
prove.
There are edibles whose use prob
ably began with necessity, and the
taste for them so acquired, continued
when the necessity for them had dis
appeared. Or, to put 1t in another
way, hunger set the fashion and the
vogue survived the hunger Raw
oysters, insects and sea-weeds are
representatives of this class.
The use of other foods may be
traced to palates that have been WITH

pleasures, and whose sense of taste
in consequence only responds to food
of a strong, unusual or even abhor-l

$500 FOR BEST APPLIES
National Contest at New York Next
November

New York.-Apple growers Of
America are to have an opportunity
for competing for a prize of $500 in
gold at the great New York land
show to be held in Madison Square
Garden next November. e..
The prize of twenty-five twenty
dollar gold pieces is offered by How
ard Elliott, president of the Northern
Pacific, for the best exhibit of twenty
five boxes of apples of any variety
or varieties made at the American
Land and Irrigation exposition next
fall. Competition for this prize is
open to the growers of the world and
the exhibitors must be prepared to
furnish affidavits as to the crop from
which the samples exhibited were
taken. The exact terms of award
have not yet been decided upon. Gill
bert McClurg, general manager of the
exposition, and Mr.. Elliott are now
in correspondence with promologists
and horticulturists upon this subject,
and the decision as to the points
of merit probably will be made public
early in the summer. Growers can
secure full information regarding this
apple contest from the American
Land and irrigation exposition, 149
Broadway, New York city.
The donor of this prize, President
Elliott of the Northern Pacific, is
also to give away 100 acres of Mon
tana wheat land by proper allotment
during the exposition. Several yalu-
able tracts of land will be given away
in this manner, and it is expected
that this feature will draw many
visitors to the exposition from the
surrounding territory.
This first New York land EXPOSE
ton is to be thoroughly representa-
tive of American agriculture as we'll
as the most picturesque and instruc-
tive call of the land ever presented
in the nation. Exhibitors will dis
play their soil and its products or
show maps and relief models of their
holdings Agriculture as it is gen.
orally practiced, dry farming and ir-
rigatiOn methods will be demonstrate
ed. Moving pictures, illustrated lee
lures, literature, growers and agents
will demonstrate the possibilities of
American soils. In fact, the exposi-
ton will perfectly illustrate that from
the land comes all permanent wealth
and that life on the land affords the
greatest measure of independence.

MAY WATER 1000 ACRES OF BIG
LOST RIVER TRACT
Those Now Making Homes Hope to be
Supplied With Water This
Season
lMackaY Minerl


Mr.. Will H. Gibson, former Secre-
tary of State, now representing the
State Board of Land Commissioners,
was here on Monday and spent sew.
eral days during the week on the
Era Flat and Powell tracts, of the
Big Lost River Irrigation company
with view of learning of the con-
ditions as regards the delivery of
water to those now attempting to
make homes on the tract.
While here Mr.. Gibson stated that
he had visited the segration and that
there were about 1000 acres of land
represented by actual settlers on the
project and that 1t was the hope of
the Land Board to supply these set
tiers with enough water to mature
their crops and bring relief to their
distressed condition.
Asked If it was the intention to
supply water by storage at the reser-
voir, Mr.. Gibson stated that it was
not likely that the reservoir would
be much aid in this respect, but that
from conditions as he found them
he had more hopes of being able to
see that these water wishers were
supplied by reason of the extreme
late flood period.
A new department has recently
been created by the Land Board, and
is sort of link to connect those
affected by Carey Act projects with
the State Land Board. Mr.. Gibson
is looking after the field work and
Senator Shawn the Office details. This
department will serve the settlers and
the officers administering the affairs
in more efficient and intelligent
manner.

POOR COOKING-HOAIE

A prominent writer and lecturer
talking on the divorce evil said that
the best way to stop it is to feed the
BRUTE" meaning of course, the man.
Then he went on to explain that 1t
is his belief more homes are wrecked
because of poor cooking than from
any other cause.
Now this man may not be so far
from the truth, though he may have

cooked does have potent influence
in keeping up ones spirits and ones
courage. There are very few people
in this world-men or womcn-who
do not enjoy to the fullest extent a
we'll prepared meal.
Test it in your own case. Start
O. t in the morning with a poorly
prepared and an observed breakfast.
Come in at lunch time to another
poor meal placed on table which
looks as if things had been thrown
upon it any way to get them on.
Come back to supper similarly pre-
pared. Keep it up day in and day
out through number of months
and see whet happens to you.
This is just exactly what many
men have to put up with throughout
their married lives. Is it any wonder
that they form the habit of frequent
ing restaurants and hotels in order
to satisfy their natural desire for
good food? And there is no place on
earth where food can be as appetite
ingly prepared as in the home. Res
taurant and hotel cooking never
reaches the scale of good home-cook-
ing.
When one thinks of the predica-
ment of the man who never gets
good meal at home, is it any wonder
that he becomes irritable and
cranky"
The woman who finds her time oc-
cupied in the business world compre-
bends this better than any other class
of women. She knows what it means
to be real hungry for something ap-
petizing and to go home and find that
only the leavings of former meal
served in ANY old way" have been
placed before her. She knows how
disgusting and how irritating it all
is and she also knows how hard it is
to keep her temper under such cir
cumstances.
And the trouble lies just here. Too
few women have been taught how
to cook, too few care to learn how
and too few have any ambition to
excel in this particular line. And
the pity is that their daughters are
being allowed to grow up in perfect
ignorance of the culinary art.
Most of these girls expect to head
homes of their own sometime and
yet they are unwilling to learn the
rudiments of home making. Where
as is should be the pride of every
girl that she is mastering the essen
tials of home-making, and with every
prospect that in some future day
she will be able to manage her home
and profitably to the end
that all who call it home may find
it such in fact and spirit.
The mother who does not insist
upon her daughter mastering all the
of home-making, including
cooking, is not doing her duty. There
is no good reason why the daughters
of the house should not be made to
feel the responsibility of shouldering |
their share of the homework and do
ing it in a proficient manner. A
girl may be rich with every expecta-
ton of remaining so, but she will be
a happier woman and better home
maker because she knows the tech |
nialities of her craft.

himself and the company's engineers.
The arrangements just completed
between the Idaho financial interests
those in Chicago and the Idaho state
officials mean that the worF will be
resumed with the least possible loss
of time and will be rushed to COM
pletion. Mr.. Reilly has given assur-
ances that operations will be begun
just as soon as the attorneys can
shape up the legal matters.
AS part of the plan it has been de-
cided to install cement drops on the
Powell tract, at the lower end Of the

Little Stories of Northwestern People

Senator Miles Poindexter of Wash
ington dearly loves joke. One Sum
day morning he met clergyman
friend of his who lived in the same
square and he propounded the fol-
lowing question to the divine.
"If my neighbours peacock came in
to my barn, and made nest and
laid number of eggs, would l have
right to keep them? You know
the eggs are very rare"
The preacher, after thinking min
ute, replied: You should return the
eggs. While it is true the bird ap-
priated your barn for the purpose
of nesting, the trespass does not justi-
fly your keeping the eggs. What is
your View"
"My view" said the Senator, "is
that the peacock being a male bird
could not lay eggs"
