Strengthened his course into direct

straight away. For the next mile the
Blue Dragon and about half dozen OF
the fastest of the machines seemed TO
be holding their own with him, while
the rest, unable to keep up the terrific
pace, gradually strung out behind like
a kites long tail. Whittier he was
leading them none but himself could
guess, but as for the pursuers they
cared little provided they could keep
him in sight. Whether they ran the
race and fought the fight over jagged
mountain tops or level ground made
little difference to these seasoned sail

slant close association with death
had made them almost contemptuous

they went whistling on with strained
muscles and eyes glued upon the black

doing his best or only trifing with
them they could only conjecture,
but this much was evident, doing
their own best as they were,
they were barely holding their own
with him. North. still retaining his
initial advantage over his nearest com
petitor, could not see that he had
gained a foot upon the enemy. To
the spectators upon the ground and

RAILROADS

The railroad commission was in
session last Saturday and now they
want beet acreage. The sugar fac
tory officials told them that if they
had raised all the money they
could that they would make up the
balance if the community would
get up a large beet acreage, and
now the field man for the factory,
A. L. Mcintyre, is here, going
over the situation and is out solicit
ing the acreage.
We would urge all the farmers
to sign up for an acreage of beets.
If the road does not come you will
not be out anything as you sign
up on the condition that work must
be begun on the road before you
plant the beets. You are taking
no chances and you must forget
for the present, the fact that you
were disappointed two years ago.
Everyone around Center should
lay aside all prejudices and suspi-
cions and get down to business
and not act like children, as a rail-
road is thing for grown up peo-
pie and let us all get into that class
as soon as possible.-Center Dis
patch.
The business men and ranchmen
should bear in mind that there is
plenty of capital for building rail-
roads where there is sufficient
demand for them to warrant reason
able profits.
A railroad will never be built to
Center to haul sheep, cattle and
horses to a railroad station.
Were it profitable to grow 5000
acres of beets and like acreage of
potatoes and double the number
of hogs raised in the Center country
there would be no trouble in get
ting a road there.
1t is now up to the ranchmen to
decide whether or not to encourage
the building of railroad to Cen
ter by creating business for such a
road.

BIG AND LITTLE PEOPLE


is that our little people have no
chance.
Our little peoples savings are
used by the big people in their
operations, or swallowed up in
watered stocks and get-rich- q uick
schemes.
Two thousand millions can be
borrowed by the big men from one
big man and the little man can't
borrow anything.
The farmer, if he wants to bor-
row, must pay s per cent which
is criminal usury. The banks all
know it, and they think it is all
right.
From those same banks Mr..
Morgan can borrow at 3 per cent
or less. Or he can borrow money
from the government for nothing
at all. He can get government
funds deposited in his bank, then
the bank lends them out for the
highest rate.
The little man must pay usury,
and what is more often the case,
he can't get money on any terms
In Germany, where they haven't
one quarter of our wealth, but sew
eral times our national intelligence,
the little people have been able to
borrow from the government five
thousand million of dollars at A
per cent-every cent spent for lit
tie Improvements.
In this country, if the farmer
wants to tile wet field, drain it
and make it productive for the
benefit of all; if he wants a new
barn, new agricultural machinery,
he must pay usury, as though he
were taking his watch to a pawn
broker and he usually cannot get
the money when he wants it.
! We have millions and thousands
of millions for Wall street invest
ment, for buying stocks and selling
them on margin.
The professional gambler of the
stock exchange can get all the
money that he wants on call
usually at per cent. The farmer
who is trying to feed the people,
the builder who is trying to erect
homes, the man who wants to
build house in which to keep his
family, cannot borrow at all, or
only at usurious rates.
We need common sense in this
country, cooperation by the citi-
zens and voting by the citizens for
their own protection.
And especially we need to give
to the small man, who is in reality
the United States, the opportunity
to borrow at a fair rate the money
that he needs to spend for the gen.
eral welfare in constructive work.
There is no use talking about
Morgan and the other big men.
They do as we have said, what you
let them do.
The real big man, the real rich
man in the United States, is the
United States government, and
you are the United States govern
ment.
Why don't the people get to-
gether, arrange methods of lending
money direct by the nation or by
the state to the individual for con.
structive work, give to the farmer,
the small builder and the honest
citizen generally the credit to
which he is entitled?
One individual able to handle
two thousand millions of dollars in
ten years, and eighty odd millions

Former Instructor IS
Mentioned at U. of |.

Report has it that Prof. Joseph
shafer, of the history department,
University of Oregon, and a former
instructor in the State Normal school
here, is prominent candidate for the
presidency of the University of Idaho.
Mr.. Shafer was former student of
President Mcfarland when the latter
was professor of history and peda-
gogy at the Madison, S. D., State
Normal school.
In 1894, Mr.. Shafer became men,
Der of the Normal school faculty here
as instructor in history, which posi-
ton he held until 1898. Following
this he became candidate for the
state SUPPLEMENTARY, coming within
1000 votes of being elected. Besides
having had valuable Normal school ex-
perience, Mr.. Shafer has had an emf
nent career as student at the Uni
versity of Wisconsin.

of five and six as with US. Seven plus
twelve equals nineteen, and five plus
twelve equals seventeen. These two
sums tell the story of the difference in
ages Of graduates of secondary
schools in the two countries. And as
regards their seven year age limit of
beginning, it has been shown by
Greenwood and others who have test
ed it extensively in this country, that
the child who begins his school career
at seven is likely to complete it just
as young as he who begins at five.
The extra time thus gotten in by our
children who enter school at the
younger age is therefore of little ad.
vantage to anyone except the parent,
who for several hours each school day
is thus relieved of the care of them.

New Idea" In Manual
Training in Book Form

A neat little book, Manual Train
ing" by F. H. Selden has come to no
tice this week. 1t embodies a series
Of six articles written by Mr.. Selden
and published in the american
School Board Journal" Milwaukee,
Wis. These articles give the new
idea in manual training as advanced
by lMr. Selden and which in a sense
are echoed in: Se...t, -a..,.
Shop work in school is not so
much for the purpose of teaching tool
work as for the purpose of improving
the intellectual manhood factors in
the work. In one sense, its purpose is
similar to that of teaching literature.
That is taught not for the purpose of
teaching, but for the purpose of get
ting out of reading that which will
build up the larger and higher intel
lectual activities. Shop work should
be taught not simply to make the pu-
pills work, but for the purpose of get
ting out of work the highest and mob.

This new idea" should be in the
hands Of all of those interested in any
phase of the work.

The attitude of pupils in. shop work.

WeSterQddrd Lectures
Before Vienna Society

Since mention was made of Waldo
mar c.. Westergaard '03, in these col
umns two weeks ago, Miss Perrine is
in receipt of a card from Mr.. Wester-
gard stating that he had been called
upon to address the geographical So
ciety at Vienna upon the subject of
the Yosemity and the adjacent high
Sierras. Many of the teachers and
students will remember this lecture
as given by Mr.. Westergaard during
the summer term in 1911.
After completing his Normal school
course, Mr.. Westergaard matricuulat-
ed at the University of North Dakota,
gradual ting in 1906. Following this, he
became instructor in the Episcopal
school for boys near San Francisco,
Cal. He taught in the Alemeda high
school from 1907 to 1911, where he
also was director of athletics. The
University of California conferred the
Masters degree upon him and the
year 1911-1912 was spent in graduate
work at Cornell university.
Mr.. Westergaard left for the Uni
versity of Copenhagen, Denmarck, last
summer to pursue his studies leading
to the Doctors degree and since that
time has had some opportunities for
travel on the continent. It is consid-
cred a high privilege to give his ia.
miliar lecture in Austria.
