of the column. and of that l was forcibly re-

Dear M. B, Friends:

Dear NJ. B. Friends:
Sincerity is the keynote Of the above
poem, which is certainly fine. To be ones
self in the world where there is so much
that is affected and artificial, not to say
superficial, is something worth striving
for. Really, though, IL sincerity, or being
oneself. is natural, it is not necessity to
strive for it; it will be spontaneous, like
the laugh of child.

If the heart is warm, the greeting will be
condial and sincere. Abou Ben Adham
said: "Write me as one who loves his
felIowman,' and with the poet we say,
sMay his tribe increase" for then the
selfishness of the world will surely
decrease in like proportion.

A Hot Lunch for Two Cents.

The school child who does not live
at Richfeld is indeed unfortunate
There hot lunch is served at noon and
it only costs the child two cents. The
hot lunch is not expected to entirely
supplant the children's lunch from
home. 1t simply provides an addition:
The following was the meun served
for two weeks:
Monday-Vegetable soup, rice pud-
ding.
Tuesday-Mush and milk, chocolate
pudding
Wednesday-Meat pie, cranberry
sauce.
Thursday-Macaroni and tomatoes,
es calloped apples.
stewed prunes.
Monday-Creamed meat, baked ap-
piles.
Tuesday - Vegetable soup, bread
pudding.
Wednesday - Escalloped potatoes,
prunes.
nhursday-Baked hash apple sauce.
Friday-Tomato bisque, marguer-
ties.
The plan as worked out in the Rich
field schools is said to be as follows:
"The aim is to give, as nearly as
we can, lunches that will have as
high a per cent of food value as pos
sible, and be so arranged that they
will be balanced ration and thus
not become monotonous to the child.
We will necessarily have to repeat
probably not oftener than once in two
or three weeks
Each child is required to bring his
own bread and butter, and the mother
may add such other things as she may
wish. We furnish two dishes-a regu
lar luncheon dish such as soup or a
baked dish, and some simple dessert.
at a cost of ten cents per pupil per
week. About seventy children are be-
ing served at present.
Three tables are set in the base
ment, and the dishes ar washed by
the children, some gathering them up
and others washing them and return
ing them to the shelves. This week
the work is being done by volunteers,
but beginning last Monday the work
ers will be taken systematically, SO
that each child will do duty about
once in two weeks.

DORMAN PLACES CATTLE
AT MOUNTAIN HOME
Returns From Most Successful Trip
to Elmore County.

H. w. Dorman, manager of the
Caldwell Cattle Co., returned Tuesday
from Mountain Home where the COM
pany placed several hundred head of
feeders among the Elmore county far
mers. The widespread demand for
feeders has forced the company to
supply much larger territory than
was intended at first. 1t shows that
the original idea of the company was
along the right line as success has at
tended every move made up to the
present time.
The company placed 203 head with
the ranchers in the vicinity of Noun
tain Home. H. F.. Shelton, August
Benz, and James F. Winters, all of
Pine, purchased 100. 50 and 50 head
respectively. Jess Dunn of Van Wyck
bought 81. The cattle were all native
steers and in excellent condition.
Since the organization of the Cald-
we'll Cattle company, on October 20,
it has disposed of ol7 head of cattle.

purpose of the law. Enemies of
state public utilities commission argu-
ed for years that the state needed
more capital invested in transporta-
ton lines and power plants and that
would keep capital away by showing
an enmity toward capital by the peo-
pie. They were afraid that the rules
and regulations adopted would be
such as to deny investors fair return
on their investment: Their tears are
about to be realized but in manner
entirely different. New capital is
denied admission to the state because
capital already invested must be pro-
tected. In the meantime this capital
will be invested elsewhere ITO the
infinite loss of Idaho. Idaho is prob
ably the only state in the union where
respect for vested interests is car
ried to such an extreme.
The public utilities commission
should lay down certain rules and
regulations for the protection OF the
people. These rules should apply to
all companies. Under the rules and
regulations as many companies should
come as wanted to. After they got
here it would not make any difference
to the people whether they combined,
united, consolidated or what not.
They would still be under the same
rules. The same service would have
to prevail and at the same rates
There might be duplication of plants
and endless economic waste but that
waste would fall upon the corporations
themselves. The people would be in
no wise concerned except in most
general way. Capital would know
the conditions upon which it entered
the field. 1t would know that it
would depend upon its treatment Of
the public for its monopoly of the
business. Upon that treatment and
upon no other has any monopoly the
right to exist 1t should not exist
by the fiat of few men who may or
inlay not infrerced b. past =ssocia-
tons if not by present interests.
