Smith Investigates Car Shortage.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 11.-As usual,
during this time of the year, many
complaints are being received by the
interstate commerce commission on
account of car shortage, especially of
the refrigerator variety, which are
badly needed for the shipment of per-
ishable products.
Congressman Smith has, in compli
ance with telegraphic requests from
the commercial club of Twin Falls,
presented the complaint of that section
to the interstate commerce commits
sion, and the chairman of the commits
sion Immediately telegraphed the rail-
road officials urging that a sufficient
number of cars be supplied at the
earliest possible date.
The commission states that the de-
lay in furnishing the cars is not en-
tirely to be blamed upon the rail-
roads, as in many instances the ship

IDAHO PEOPLE TO
OFFER Vi. :. THANKS
GOVERNOR JOHN NJ. HAINES HAS
ISSUED THANKSGIVING DAY
PROCLAMATION.
Designates Thursday, November %, a
Day for Observing the Annual
Holiday.

Governor John NJ. Haines has issued
a Thanksgiving proclamation officially
designating Thursday November n, as
the day when the people of the state
of Idaho shall lay aside all cares aid
offer thanksgiving to Almighty Gcd for
His manifold blessings to the people.
The following official proclamation has
been received at the office Of The Daily
Star-Mirror from the executive. office:
Dating back practically to the first
settlement of his continent, the custom
has prevailed of setting aside one day
in each year as a day o. thanksgiving
to Almighty God for His manifold
blessings to our people.
This praiseworthy custom should ev-
er be perpetuated. Each year brings
it's own blessings and rewards, and a
grateful and devout people Should ev-
er be willing to voice their obligations
to Divine Providence for His sheltering
protection and abundant moral and ma
terial gifts vouchsafed to them.
But in addition to thanking God for
our great material progress and for
the blessings of forest, field and mine,
we should seek divine guidance in the
proper use of that which comes into
our hands.
I'VE should pray to be delivered
from that spirit of extragance which
affects not only our individual but al
so our collective actions, and which
yearly adds to the cost of living. In
it's place we should seek to have in
culcated that spirit of thrift which
characterized our forebears, and upon
which the permanent prosperity of the
individual and of the state must ever
rest.
I'm obedience to this long-establish-
ed custom, |, John NJ Haines, governor
of the state of Idaho, do join with the
President of the United States in des-
ignating Thursday November 27, 1913,
as a day of public thanksgiving for the
people of this state. l ask that all
business cares be laid aside and that
the day be observed in all our churches
and homes as a day of thanksgiving
and prayer

CLOSER TOUCH
BETWEEN SCHOOLS
ACTING PRESIDENT CARLYLE IN
AUGURATES NEW PLAN TO AID
HIGH SCHOOLS.
Hopes to Bring High Schools and the
University Into Closer Relations
Through Instructors.

A movement has been started at the
university which is destined, think it's
advocates, to become great factor
in the near future in bringing the high
schools Of the state into a closer touch
with the state university and to offer
| to the graduates of the various high
scools throughout the state greater
| incentive to acquire a higher educa-
ton. The new movement which has
been initiated by Acting President
Carlyle advocates the policy of send
ing speakers chosen from the universi-
ty faculty to the high schools of the
state to address the students on topics
of interest from time to time. This
extent in the past though in very
limited degree. Only few speakers
have visited the high schools and
these only at set periods near COM
mencement time.
Movement VIII Grow.
The entire state cannot, of course,
be covered this year not in fact for
several years to come but as the move
ment grows it is hoped that it can be
made a statewide and that every high
school can be made link in the system.
This system has been adopted in sew
eral states with great success. In Wis
consin, for instance, it has become so
popular that it has grown into and
now forms an integral part of the
work of the state university. In that
state members of the university fac
ulty are sent out to all of the high
schools whenever there is a call for
them and through this means. such a
spirit of cooperation has grown up be-
tween the university and the high
schools as can be found nowhere else
in the country
Commence at Nearby Schools.
The same result can ultimately be
here, it is thought, if the
is given the same support
that it is receiving in other states. This |
year the system will be tried in some |
of the nearby high schools, commenc-
ing with the Moscow schools. Once
each week during the entire year a |
speaker will be- drawn from the uni
versity faculty to address the high |
school students at their assemblies. A |
committee of four members has been
appointed by DR.. Carlyle to arrange
The details of the plan and to select
he speakers for the year.
