SAVED!


His beard was long and white.
Il gave him the venerable appear
ance of a patriarch of old. You
could tell that he was becoming
very feeble by his stopped shoul-
ders and slow, hating gait.
Although It was showing, the old
man was well protected against
the chilly winds of winter. His
long, brown overcoat and black,
wooden cap. Contrasted strangely
with the whiteness of his beard
and made him appear rather odd
and quaint. He seemed out Of place
on the busy street, with shoppers
hurrying by him.
Just as he had reached the en-
trance of the Schneider a. Mueller
Piano store, at 1311-t3 Farnam
street he stopped suddenly, felt of
his pockets and became very ex-
cited He seemed to be badly
scared or dazed.

happened the old man said TO
himself. IT'S Just awful" The
more that he felt the various
pockets of his overcoat, the more
nervous he became.
Turning around quickly, his
cheeks flushed and eyes staring,
he exclaimed: Its just terrible.
| cant understand II. It's too
bad!" The attention of many
passersby was aroused. What
shall | do?" they heard him ask.
Several spectators rushed up to
him. A banker put his hand on the
old mans shoulder and said: Tell
mo what has happened! Let me
help you!'
The old man was so frightened
that he did not answer, but kept
on fumbling with his overcoat,
while a large crowd gathered
around him. Suddenly he put his
hands deep down in his overcoat
pockets and, with a sigh OF relief,
slowly drew forth two long, flam-
ing-red objects.
oh! My" he gasped as he held
them up TO view, II thought I had
lost my mittens." The interested
spectators quickly vanished.
A few moments later the old man
was seated in Schneider n Muel-

forth a wad of bills from one OF

HAS $4,000 oo
FOR ITS TRUST FUND

From the Christian Science Mo2itor
we get the following interesting
item concerning the trust fund Of
Minnesota:
has prepared figures which he says
shows that Mineesota's permanent
trust fund is larger than the sum
total of similar funds in 20 of the
20 states east of the Mississippi riv-
er by s2,354, 628.45. The aggregate
trust funds of these states is 1885,
100, while Minnesota has $S0,221 ,418.
To obtain the data the state treas
urer wrote to the treasurers of all
the eastern states and received re-
plies from 20 Of them. Those that
did not answer are Delaware, Ken
lucky, Louisiana, Maryland and Mis-
sissippi, and it is known their trust
funds do not rank above Minnescta's.
Wisconsin ranks next to MINES ota,
with trust funds of 100000; New
Jersey follows with $4,000, 900; Mass
achusetts is third with s5,OOO,OO0
and New York fourth with s4,699,9S9.
Eight of the states reported rome.
Mr.. Smith also has compiled state
ment of the bonded debt Of the same
states. Minnesota and seven others
have none, while Massachusetts, has
s116, 900 900, New York 100000
and North Carolina s24, 100000.
Minnesota's trust funds are derived
from the sale of state lands and tim
Der and from iron ore royalties. This
Is the only state which has consery-
ed the land granted to it by the fed
eral government TO such an extent,
i. is claimed, and today the income
at 4 per cent is more than sl,2Oo,OOo
annually. This money goes to the
schools, the state university, for In
ternal improvement, institutional and
road and bridge fuds, the greater
portion being for school purposes.
The trust funds are a perpetual en-
dowment and can never be in any
way diverted or diminished.

KEEP IT OUT OF THE PAPER.

Keep it out of the paper" is the
cry which the local newspaper dealer
daily hears, says an exchange. To
obhge often costs considerable, thong
the party who makes the request
thinks the granting scarcely worth
while saying thank you for.
AS rule, the truthfulness of the
publication is not seriously challenged
but the facts should be suppressed
because it hurts the town, gives
the community such a bad name"
That's tantamount to say ing that it is
not the wrong but knowledge of it
that constitutes the offense.
A Newspaper is a peculiar thing in
the public's eye. The newsgather is
stormed at because he gets hold OF
one item and is abused because he
does not get another. Young men
and often young women, as well as
older persons, perform acts which be
come legitimate items for publication
and then rush to the newspaper Office
and beg the editor not to notice their
escapades. The next day they con
denim the paper for not having pub
lished another party doing the same
thing they were guilty OF, forgetting
apparently their late visit to the ed.
itor.

A POSSIBILITY.

There is a possibility of having a
new pest in Canyon County. Last
year, Mr.. John c. Yock Of Emmett,
noticed small green worm in his
clover which seemed to be doing som
damage. This year the same worm
appeared and in such increased num-
bers that Mr.. Yeck sent specimens OF
them to Mr.. R. j. Baker, instructor In
agriculture of the Emmett Schools,
through whom the worms reached L.
H. Parks. Field Entomologist for the
extension department of the State
University, who identified them as
the larvae of the clover leaf weeyh, a
pest somewhat similar to the alfalfa
weeyn which has done and is doing
such damage to the alfalfa fields CT
Utah and some other sections.
1t was found that the weevil had
completely destroyed a small patch
of clover on the farm of Mr.. Yeck al
that they were present in all the
clover and alfalfa fields examined in
the vicinity of Emmett and for six
miles down the valley. The fact they
were found in greatest abundance
along the line of the Payette Valley
Railroad and have not been found at
all in the Boise Valley would seem
to indicate that they have been in
troduced through the railroad. An
idea of their numbers in the place OF
worst infestation is gained from the
statement that by actual count 161
worms were taken from one crown OF
clover about three inches in diameter
The larva, in which stage the Wee
vii dooes all its damage, is small
green grub or worm with a white
stripe down the center of the back.
In size it is about three quarters OF
an. inch long when full grown. Mr..
Parks gives the life history of the
weevil as follows: The eggs are laid
by the adult weevil in the fall about
September. The worms soon hatch
and begin feeding upon the leaves OF
clover, a5falfaS and perhaps some
other legumes. They pass the winter
IN the larval or worm stage among |
roots or in the crowns of the plants
hey infest and begin feeding again
Is soon as the weather becomes
warm in the spring. When full grown
hey spin cocoons and become dor
nant for short time, emerging as
ADULTS some time early in the summer
The adult is small, grayish-brown,
;nout beetle about half an inch in
ength which does but little damage
tself but which flies from one field
o others and lays eggs for the next
rood. There is but one breed each
ear.
The worms do most of the feeding
t night. Through the day time they
re found on the ground among the
TENS of the plants. They curl up on
'eing disturbed and are usually seen
n that form. They are SO small that
hey may easily escape notice unless
hey become numerous, especially
ince they are inactive during day
ght.
There is no certainty that this pest
ill become serious in Idaho. In the
astern states where the weevl is
ommon, Mr.. Parks states, a fungus
isease keeps it in check. Whether or
OF this fungus would be effective
ere under different climatic condit-
ms, is not known nj any case it
ill be we'll to watch developments
Iosely and, should the weeyils be- {
ome numerous in any locality, TO
