There will be a good roads con-
vention held at Pocatello June
1924, in which the states of Ida
no, Montana, Nevada, Utah and
Wyoming will participate, and
experts from Washington, D. c.,
will be in attendance with sug-
gestions, addresses and possibly
d demonstration of work. Idaho
will be represented with twenty
duly selected delegates appoint
ed by the governor, and Presi-
dent f. r. Sherwin, of Bphl, and
VIM. Wallin of Pocatello. The
efforts of the convention will be
directed toward securing action
by the government in the con-
struction and maintenance OF
national highways, and the ap,
preparation of 100000 acres OF
land to each of the western stat.
es for the purpose of building
good roads. This good roads
question has come to stay, and
the community that fails to rec
ognize this fact and get busy
will be a back number, no mat
ter what it's natural advantages
may be. Idaho county SHOULD
wake up to this fact.

GOOD ROADS WITHOUT
MONEY

The whole country is becoming
inoculated with the good roads
microbe set agoing by King, the
inventor of the famous split-log
road drag which bears his royal
name. And still the whole
scheme by which this famous
road constructor proposes to rev.
olutionize transportation condi-
tions in the rural districts, is
traceable directly to the ingenu-
ity of the hog in continuing things
for his own comfort and conven-
fence. In a public lecture the
other day Mr.. King freely admit
ted that hog gave him the idea
he is advancing, by his habit of
roofing, rolling and pudding the
mud and water after a rain, form
ing thereby a paste which is i'm
pervious to water.
In this same lecture, which he
entities "Good Roads Without
Money" King claimed that with
a drag and a pillow he could make
good road in any sort of soil

Thursday, May II, 1911.

There seems to be a DISPOSE
ton on the part of some of the
extremely partisan editors (pos-
sibly three or FOUR to censure
some of the other members of the
state board of equalization be-
cause they at first accepted Gov.
Hawley's statement, on his cam
paign reputation as the greatest
lawyer the state of Idaho ever
had, that the board was endow-
ed with certain inherent powers
to legislate laws, as well as in
alienable rights to execute the
same, and afterwards found out
that such was not the case and
then changed their decision as to
what their duty was toward the
taxpayers of the state. Now, the
question is, which is considered
by those editors the safest, sanest
man for the people, the one who
when he discovers that he has
made a mistake, admits it like a
man, and proceeds 10 do what he
can to rectify the same, or the
man who attempts to bull his
mistake through no matter what
amount of injury may result
therefrom to the people, and trie
to palm off his bull-headedness OF

The next meeting OF the Arkansas
Valley Commercial Association o:
Colorado will be held at Las AnimaS
on March e2nd and will be devoted to
the formulation of plans for n CAM
paign in behalf OF goods manufactured
and sold in the Arkansas Valley OF

this coming conference will be far
reaching. 1t is a meeting in which

BASKET BALL BOYS
Defeat ce6tsnnial and Meet Defeat at
Walsenbur1

WaIsenburg
Last fridays Pueblo Chisftain had the
following account of the game Thursday
evening:
Pueblo basketball fans were entertain
ed last evssinR to one of the best played
and fastestpames that has been witness
ed here thisiysar. Rocky Ford high school
defeated Centennial high school team at
the Central high school gymnasium by
the score Of Is to II.
The gams was fast and exciting as the
lead was continually changed and the
score remained close throughout and it
was either teams game until the whistle
was blown.
The lead changed several times in the
last half and with the score tied and one
half minute left to break the tie. Culp
made beautiful basket throw and the
visitors had won the game.
Waters Of ths locals was the star Of the
game. He plays! remarkable defensive
game and never allowed his opponent to
hit the ball once on the jump.
Culp was tho main man on the visitors
team as he shot most Of the four baskets
and most Of their points were made this
way. On field baskets he was not SO good
as Halsey was always with him. His
baskets in the last half won the game for
Rocky Ford.
The Cennennial players claim they
could have wonthe game on larger floor
and the fact that they were playing on a
small floor handicapped them. while the
visitors had an advantage as they play on
a small floor in their own city. The de-
feat last night gives the championship OF
the northern division OF the southern Colo
rado- Northern New Mexico league to
Rocky Ford and they play Walsenburg to-
night for the championship OF the league.
Diekey Of Colorado Springs refreeed the
contest and his work always met with
the approval Of the audience"
On Friday evening the Rocky Ford team
met the Walsenburg boys for the first
game Of the series that will decide the
championship of the S. C.-N. N. M.
league.
The boys were very tired after the
spirited game Of the evening before and
they were defeated by a score Of 25 to z
But this defeat will be wiped away in
the game on the home floor tomor row
evening, it is confidently expected.

The Function of Domestic Art in the
High School.

The girl enters the high school
with the body. mind, and heart OF
child. She leaves it a young woman
with spiritual, mental. moral. and So
cial attitudes quite different from the
ones with which she entered. In
tense consciousness of self, with its
demand for recognition. is present in
much greater degree than in the
child. 1t is therefore the function
of the high school to minister to the
needs OF this age, developing in the
woman of tomorrow the idea OF the
place she must occupy in society alter
leaving the high school. for it is said
sixty per cent OF these students do
not enter higher institutions.
Domestic Art. as one of the high
school subjects, functions either in
stimulating the girl SO that she may
discover her capacities or in awaken
ing dormant ability which leads to
the vocation to be followed in one of
the various branches of this study, as
textile worker. teacher of sewing.
dressmaking. various forms of hand
work, professional dressmaker. mil
liner, etc. However. the vocation is
but small part Of the total function
of ones life; it is what goes with
the vocation that makes it a success
or failure.
The function of Domestic Art may
be summed up briefly by saying that
i; develops many sided interests, l. e..
an understanding of things; the ne.
cessity for clothing gives practical
ability and control over nature. while
the doing side is being emphasized
along with the theoretical side tho
knowledge gained by the girl is be-
ing impressed more firmly and she is
attaining culture.
If Domestic Art has functioned as
it should, the girl will not only de
velop the four manifestations Of self.
the social. the intellectual, econ.
omic and spiritual. but will be fitted
to be economically productive. as
professional woman, trade worker.
or. most important OF all. a home
maker. -
