Independent District No. 2.
School Notes.

The school now has an enroll
ment of about three hundred and
ninety pupils. All grades do ex,
cellent work. Beside the regular
class work we have two very
excellent Misunderstanding depart
ments. In the boys department
there are about 40 pupils under
the very able instruction of Prof.
Laney. The girls class has an
enrolment of about the same as
the boys. They are doing some
very fine work CONSISTING Of
mats, baskets, tamoshanters
AVIATION caps, etc. which will be
on exhibition parents day. We
invite the patrons to come and
see us in our daily work that you
may keep IN touch with the train
ing your children are receiving.
The religion class is being held
each school day for IS minutes
commencing at S.45. We have
a splendid enrolment with an
average attendance ofabout SO%
The faculty CT the school meet
every Monday and discuss things
of interest to the school, also the
Board and Faculty meet each
month. The most importa nj dis
cussion before the Board at pres
ent seems to be a New School
House, of which we are in very
great need. May they be success
full.
ust as soon as the Phone
Management can get round toit,
which will be in a day or so at
most, the school will have the
phone installed, thanks to the
liberality of the Board. We feel
that we can keep more in touch
with the parents in the future.

Great Boon to
Honesteaders.
LONG NEEDED RELIEF OBTAINED.
SEC. FISHER TO BE COMMENDED.

That the old Missouri adage
"Show me" when applied to, the
Eastern man, on Western condit-
ions, is a saying full of meaning
can no longer be denied.
That Secretary Fisher is big
man full up and running over is
no joke, especially since his visit
to Idaho this fall.
Here is a late decision he has
rendered applicable to all home
steaders under the reclamation
act.
Entryman subject to the re.
clamation act may felinquish
part of his farm. m.unit and have
the payments which have been
made on the part relinqulshed
credited on the charges against
retained part and further if the
entryman sodeslres there eafter he
may relinquish part of the re-
tanned farm unit and have the
charges paid credited on the part
not Ielinquished Ten acres is
the minimum area which any
settler may relinquish.
Land thus eliminated will be
subject to the full pro rata con-
struction charges by succeeding
entrvman SO the government will
lose nothing through this ruling.
Experience has shown in numcr-
Gus instances that 40 to so acres
is too large for man of moder-
ate means to cultivate to advan-
tage.
In order to promote intense
cultivation of all the land for
which the government has furn-
ished water supply and in order
to enable deserving settlers to
retain part of their present hold
ings which might otherwise have
been lost through cancellation
tor non-payment of charges, the
secretary has authorized such
entryman to reduce the area of
his farm and will credit the
amount paid upon each farm unit
to. area retained by entryman.

Stake Confer
ence held
Saturday and
Sunday.
UNUSUAL INTEREST MANIFESTED.

At 10 O'Clock Saturday morn
ing the Stake Conference opened
at Oakley. The forenoon session
was devoted to the Religion Class
Organization. A very profitable
time was enjoyed by the fairly
good number in attendance. The
interes. and almanifested d show
ed that the religion class move
ment is receiving m ore encourage
ment than ever before IN this
Stake Of Zion. The superlntend-
ency consisting of D. r Langlois,
los. Mills and B. F. Wilson are
making the work successful by
it's introduction into SO many
schools.
The opening remarks of Presid-
ents Vim. T. Jack and ohn l..
Smith were received most favor
ably; many people expressing
tlat the subjects were very timely
and much needed.
SATURDAY. night the Mutual
Improvement Associations held
good meeting at which an in
terestirg program was rendered.
Sunday a larger crowd was IN
attendance than the day prev
lous, notwithstanding 1t was
very cold during the entire
sessions.
The subject of Charity in an
able discourse by Pres. John l..
Smith was clearly and forcibiy
explained in it's MANY phases.
The succeeding speakers OF the
day followed along similar lines
pointing out the duty of the
Latter-Day Saints toward their
fellow man IN extending charity
in it's various forms.
At the close of the sessions of
the Conference many people who
were in attendance were heard to
remark that they believed it was
the most profitable gathering
they had ever attended. The
remarks OF all that spoke were
so appropriate and impressive
that they were of more than
ordinary Importance.
Oweing, no doubt, to, the fun
erial of Patriarch John Smith
being held on Sunday, at Salt
Lake City prevented the attend
ance of visitors from the General
Authorities of the Church at our
Conference.

Why she quit Her Job.

A lady of my acquaintance In Tokyo,
says a writer IN the World Wide Mag

''The Honorable Miss Spring"
One day Miss Spring brought in
luncheon as usual All seemed serene,
there was not a shadow OF cloud in
the domestic sky. But at teatime no
tea appeared: neither. in answer to
calls at first patient and afterward
impatient, did Oharu. After awhile
the lady went herself to the back re-
gions and found -desolation. The char
coal box was filed with gray ashes,
the kettle cold. Half the luncheon
plates lay immersed in a bowl OF
soapy wnter: the other half stood ON
the sink ready 10 be put away. Oharu
herself simply was not.
The next morning, however, she re-
appeared, very much on her company
manners. with a clean kimono and her
hair done in a shining bun TO denote
the state Of a matron, demanding the
fragment OF wages due TO her since the
beginning OF the month. The lady ex-
postulated and asked why the servant
was leaving thus suddenly.
"Oh," replied Oharu. Just as was
washing the plates yesterday remem-
bered that Saito San. the pawnbroker,
wanted a wife,. Therefore / went out
and married him"

MIX-UP OVER
BITTERS BILL
House Passes Measure Pro-
hibitlng Sale Of Compounds
in Kent and Sussex
IF THEY CONTAIN MORE THAN
TEN PER CENT. OF ALCOHOL

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
DOVER, Del. March 17.--After a
parliamentary mixup the House this
morning passed Representative Te-
bos bill as amended TO prohibit the
sale or otherwise dispose Of medi-
Gated bitters and compounds whose
principal ingredients are alcohol in
Kent and Sussex counties.
The bill also prohibits the soliciting
of orders for such liquors in Kent
and Sussex counties and prohibits the
giving away of liquor on election day.
Representative Tebo offered an
amendment and Representative Ham
mond also offered an amendment
making the law apply to liquors and
medicated bitters and compounds
which contain more than 10 per cent
of alcohol. The amendments were
adopted without division aud then the
bill as amended was passed by roll
call on a vote Of 21 ayes to nays.
Before the vote was announced
Representative Locates and Repre-
sentative Tebo raised the question of
whether il was not necessary TO take
up the amendments and vote on them
separately by roll call. Mr.. Tebo
moved that this be the procedure. but
Representative I. 0. Cooper immedi-
atcly objected on the ground that the
speaker had ruled that the amend
ments were adopted He said the
only way in which Mr.. Tebo could
enforce his motion would be TO appeal
from the decision Of the chair Mr.
( Tebo then announced that he would
appeal, but he withdrew The appeal
! before il went TO a vote and the
| speaker declared the bill as amended
! passed. 1t now goes TO the Senate for
action. There is an impression that
the manner In which the amendments
were adopted and the bill as amended
/ passed will leave a loop hole to at
tack it on the ground of constitu-
tionality if il passes the Senate.
It is also said that the 10 per cent.
Of alcohol provision will permit the
sale of many compounds and bitters
! tnat otherwise might be prohibited.
