Marvels of
Microscopy.

Chicago Ill.-A complete copy
of the bible written on a square
inch OF glass is one OF many inter-
esting exhibits illustrating the
marvels OF modern microscopy
that were displayed here at the
opening of a national convention
of microscopists and microphoto-
graphers. The convention ses-
sions are being held at the Acad-
emy of Sciences and will Illcontinue
several days, The chief aim OF
the gathering is to bring the mic

particularly along the line ofpro-

Wool Dutiable
at Fifteen Per
Cent.
DEMOCRATIC MAJORITY OF WAYS
AND MEANS COMMITTEE Work
FOR THAT RATE.

The Democr atic majority of the
house committee on ways and
means voted today to make raw
wool dutiable at rs per cent ad
valOrem with substantial reduct-
ions IN the present rates on manu-
factures of wool, much along the
lines of the previous Democratic
wool measures of the last Con-
gress. This victory of the pro-
tectionists over the free raw wool
advocates was the elimination
of a lively contest in committee.
The present law imposes a duty
OF IL cents a pound on raw wool,
which the house bill Of last Con-
gress would have changed to an
ad valorem of % per cent, red
uction figured to represent ap-
proximately a cut from At to 20
per cent ad valorem.
A sentiment of a single tariff
bill. instead of schedule by sche-
dule revision developed today
among Democratic leaders at the
Capitol. II this idea is adopted
by the coming Democratic caucus
Of the house, the pending tariff
revision bids fair to go down int 0
history as the underwood tariff
OF 1913.

Are Your
Children Safe?
NO!
NO!

Our girls need protection while
on the streets at night. They
should be accompanied after dark
by some chaperon.
That this is necessary is shown
by the experience of several Oak
ley girls few nights ago, tor as
they were returning from the
dance, they were rudely and off
ensively accosted By Young
man; his attentions did not cease
until they had reached the par
entail door.
These fellows know that the
girl from various personal mot
ives will not inform their parents
or the village authorities OF their
vulgar familiarities. and SO the
evil grows.
The parents and police author
tiles OF the village should make a
bold stand against this evil and
drive it out from amoung us.
We suggest that one ofthe par
ents accompany the girl whenev-
er she is out after dark upon the
streets. Yor certainly cannot
vouch for the goodness OF your
girls if you allow them to roam
the streets unprotected after it is
dark.
One ounce ot prevention is
worth pound OF cure, in this as
in all other evils.
Remember, that if you accom-
pany your daughters, YOU will
probably see nothing, but let
them go alone again, and the evil
will be there as persistent as
ever.

F Farming as a
Profession.

The population of the United
States increased Ply in the last
ten years, while farm acreage in
creased but 4 Is per cent during
the same period. We produce 8
bushels OF wheat per person year
ly. and we consume, including the
seed. about six and one half bus
hels, this gives us at the present
time one and one. half bushels
surplus per capita.
A DECADE ago about 40 per cent
OF our people lived in cities; our
percentage of urban population
is vastly greater today, with our
population of about 81 100000,
we consume about 81 or SO per
cent of our corn, and about 90
per cent of our wheat.
At our present rate of increase
OF population, in fifty years. the
United states will ha We 200, 900 900
people. These must all be fed.
There is but one crop of land.
This is nearly all taken already.
Some of the richest land in the
United States is located on the
Project around Oakley. 1t is
virgin soil loaded down with the
richest plant food. 1t has been
waiting for the water, and now
the water is there at hand.
With the foregoing figures in
mind with even mediocre farming
there is good living; and with
professional farming there is af
fluence and wealth.
We advise every one who ha.
any taste or natural aptitude fol
agriculture to take q course il
some good Agricultural College
Farming is a science and pro
fession. 1t is the Oldest and noble
st of the arts.

The Relation of
Wages and Sin.

The Illinois Senatorial Com
mission to investigate the white
slave evil in that state, have
found serious matter for reflect
ion in the course of their enquiry,
After examining employers, the
young girl employees, and fallen
women, the conclusion seems to
be that low wages are the cause
of the widespread immortality of
our larger cities. The wages paid
are not sufficient TO keep body
and soul together; and the gIrI
not able to meet her expenses in
a legitimate way, drifts down
ward into the submerged world.
The commission, it is said. Will
advocate minimum wage scale
as a means ofcombating this evil.
The minimum wage, III all cases,
is to be enough to support the
employee and to pay all necessary
expenses.
The Investigations shows that
conditions in our larger towns
are deplorable for the wage earn
er, both man and woman, but
especially SO for the women.
The obvious moral to our
selves at home is that the city is
no place for our girls to go for
employment.

The Wise Widow.

The man who didn't advertise
Was dead, extremely dead;
His widow placed, of mammoth size.
A stone above his head.
She put his name
Upon the same
In letters large and clear
To tell the eye
Of passer-by
Her man was sleeping here.
Folks said her sorrow must be great,
To raise a monument,
They did not know, she did not state,
Her actual intent.
One day their came
A former flame
Who read, then soothed her sighs;
And, as she wed,
She slyly said.

Well Attended
Convention.
Boy Scout MOVEMENT TO BE
STARTED IN OAKLEY.

On Sunday morning last the
officers of the Young Mems and
Young Ladies Mutual Improve,
ment Association met in confer
ence in the Academy with a large
attendance present. Supt. Edw.
h. Hale and counsellors presided
Maud A. Thomas being absent
oweing to sickness. DIR. TAYLOR
of Salt Lake was a visitor from
the Young Mems Board and gave
timely advice and instructions.
After hearing reports from a
number of the wards in the Stake
a general discussion of the work
was takenup.
During the afternoon session
the Young Ladies Stake Board
was reorganized, oweing to Sis

ed in as President, with Effie

of all the officers and members tc
make it a success.
The evening session was helt
in the 1st Ward Meeting House
which was filled to overflowing
George Severe, DR.. Taylor, anc
Pres. Jack were the speakers ant
were listened to with much inter
est by those present.
Great interest was manifested
throughout the entire conference
and no doubt good will result
from the instructions that wer,
gwen.
A number of the wards were
not represented oweing no doubt
to the weather conditions.
On Monday evening at 8 O'Clock
DR.. TAYLOR, who had been asked
to prolong his visit until Tues

a number of knots that will be

Apple Day
April 5th.
FORMAL PROCLAMATION is ISSUED
MAKING 1T A HOLIDAY,
A DAY TO GROW BY BOOSTING.

Apple Day seems to have taken
complete possession OF the COM
munity. Acting Governor Tay-
lor issued a proclamation calling
upon all the people of the State
to observe Apple Day as a gener-
al holiday. On that day it is
proposed to crown the apple
queen of the northwest, and ev-
cry man, woman, and child will
be expected to bow down and
pay homage to the new sover-
eign.
Through the activity of Presi-
dent Johnson and Secretary
Childs of the Boise Commercial
Club, c. j. Sinsel, and ], U. Nc
Phersop, state horticulture in
spector, and several other public
spirited citizens, the whole town
OF Boise is taking up the apple
day propaganda, and some uni
que things may be looked for on
that occasion.
Governor Taylor's proclamat-
is as follows:
Apple Day Proclamation.
A united effort is being made to
foster the general observance Of
one day, by the states of the
northwest, as an Apple Day. to
develop the trade and extend the
use of the apples OF the north
west.
This is laudable effort worthy
OF the active support of every
person interested in the develop
ment of this state and it's indust-
ries, ands the marketing of it's
products.
In recognition of this most
lauds. bic effort, l, Herman Fl.
Taylor, acting Governor of the
State of Idaho, hereby proclaim
Saturday, April 5th, 1918, as
Apple Day, and ask every loyal
citizen of the State of Idaho TO
lend an especial effort that the
greatest possible publicity may
be given to the observance there
of, and the greatest good accom-
plished for all.
In testimony whereof, | have
hereunto set my hand and caus-
ed the great seal of the State of
Idaho to be affixed.
Done at the capitol, III the
State OF Idaho. this 22nd day of
March, AID. 1918.
