The editor of the Tribune acknow-
lodges the receipt Of an invitation
from the Twin Falls, Idaho, CONNER
cial Club to be present at the third an.
nual Potato Breakfast which was held
in that city on Monday of this week,
and thinking that it might be too far
for we editor to travel the club sent
along a good sized potato by parcel
post. I'll e potato was baked, break
ed and eaten according to schedule,
and along with it a number of pota-
toes raised by Ralph Horton last year
were also baked, 'braked" and eaten,
and while there is no fault to be found
with the Idaho potato, the spuds rails
ed in Volga were just as large, just as
symmetrical, just as mealy and just as
fine eating as the n that came from
Idaho. Idaho "a raise fine potatoes,

but South Dakota don't take a back
seat for anyone when it comes to ais

PLAN FOR A WINDOW GARDEN
Not All Plants Are Suitable, but There
May Be Generous Selec-

The home which is without an out

in many homes.
Too much heat, too dry air and too
little light are the most frequent
faults. The first two may be rene

spraying. Spread out cloths to pro-
tect the floor and spray the plants
frequently.
If there is insufficient light plants
must be chosen which will do well in

LIFE AND ACTION,

Effort is necessary for the moral
health Count no man dead until he
is comfortable" says latter-day
sage. When the spur Is removed the
gait is likely to slacken, and little
progress will be made toward any dis
ture to jog along the easiest way. The
beach-comber, in The Bird of Para
disc, warns the young doctor newly
come to Hawaii Of the insidiousness
Of tropical climates. Life there is
too soft and easy, and the tempta-
tion is great to lapse supinely into
that lotos-eating idleness, forgetting
the worthy ambitions of the striving
world elsewhere. Science tells of an
insect species, once winged, that
found the conditions of their life so
easy that they "have reverted to
something so low and simple that
they are almost plantlike in their hab-
its and peculiarities." We are in
no danger of becoming plantlike so
! long as life Is a perpetual recon-
mencement, and our tasks of mending
and cleaning are never definitely fin
ished, says the New Orleans Times
Democrat. Wear and tear are condi'
tions of existence, and we should
surely be no happier going in tatters
and living amid heaps of dust. Sir
Richard Burton wrote of tribe in
West Africa who called this earth
their home" Here they worked, and
yonder they would rest free from the
furrow and the yoke.

battle with them. The animals had all
entered through one hole, and, as they

which were unable to reach the point

him battle.

EARLY HEARD CALL OF WILD
John Muir, Great Naturalist, Showed
His Bent In the Earliest Years
of His Long Life.

When I was boy In Scotland /
was fond of everything that was wild,
and all my life I've been growing
fonder and fonder of wild places and
wild creatures, wrote John Muir in
the Atlantic. Fortunately around my
native town of Dunbar, by the stormy
North sea, there was no lack of Wild
ness. though most of the land lay in
smooth cultivation. With red-blooded
playmates, wild as myself, loved to
wander in the fields to hear the birds
sing, and along the seashore to gaze
and wonder at the shells and sea-
weeds, eels and crabs In the pools
among the rocks when the tide was
low. And, best of all, in glorious
storms to watch the waves laundering
on the black headlands and craggy
ruins of the old Dunbar castle when
the sea and the sky, the waves and
the clouds, were mingled together as
one. After / was five or six years old
ran away to the seashore or the
fields almost every Saturday, and ev-
cry day in the school vacations except
Sundays, though solemnly warned
that must play at home In the gar
den and back yard, lest I should learn
to think bad thoughts and say bad
words. All in vain. In spite of the
sure sore punishments that followed
like shadows, the natural inherited
wildness in our blood ran true on its
glorious course as invincible and un-
StoDpable as the stars

space Is devoted to "aphesis," which
means gradual or unintentional loss
of an unaccented vowel at the begin

shrinkage Is more common than one
might suppose. Sometimes the mid
die syllable of word will be slurred
to the point of extinction. From
Mary Magdalen, fearful and penitent,
comes the word maudlln, now gen
orally used to designate the lachry-

is related to impeach, though used to
indicate informing against an accom-

suits to give at least equal attention
to the culture and skill Of the heart

The low grade UNCONVENTIONAL school
is entirely too limited and narrow, If

the masses. The high grade church
schools have a justifable mission, for
it has an ample support from its con-

law that must be supported by other
denominations in order to exist, nee
essarily must be hampered in doing
faithful and liberal educational work.
The Thomas Industrial institute in
its board of trustees and executive
control has members of seven church
denominations. This board absolutely
owns and controls the property, yet
none but Protestant Christians can
be elected to this board or be a
member of the faculty Higher criti-
cism, unbiblical evolution. agnostic-
ism and other infdelity will not for a
moment be tolerated in this school.
The various courses in English lit
erature, science, philosophy, language,
music and other arts will be pursued,
together with practical training in
various husbandries, especially live
stock, dafrying. hogs, poultry and
bees. Agriculture an dthe manuals
will be emphasized. The girls will re-
ceive practical courses in all the do
mestic arts. science and economy
