a Good Fertilizer,

Washington.-In helping the manu-
facturers of soil fertilizers to increase
their output, the United States depart
ment of agriculture believes that the
interests Of the farmer are enhanced.
The use of fertilizers to supply nitro
gen to the soil is of continually in
creasing importance to our agricultu-
raj population. Fish refuse has prov
ed an important source Of organic nj.
trogen for fertilizing purposes, and
the necessity Of preparing it in COM
mercial form has led to the develop
ment Of the fish-scrap industry.

Washington.-Many people have an
Idea that there Is something mystic.
rious and occult about the work Of the

coming of storms, frosts, and floods.
Not a few think that the observers
must necessarily get their data by
reading the planets, the stars, and
the moon. AS a matter Of fact, the
.forecaster Of. the bureau ~foretells the
coming of disturbances in a business
like way, very similar to that in which
a man who has ordered a shipment Of
goods estimates the date Of arrival.

Juvenile Court on School Attendance.

IoAN-bt0 NoAt Vtt 0AHOuG NEEGWuCHlSa
With Septem Der 8, the opening
day of school close at hand. the
officers of the Juvenile court are
making preparations to enforce the
law regarding the attendance OF
school children. Last year it was
found that, while the attendance
was good, yet there were instances
throughout the county of neglect
upon the part of parents in seeing
that their children attended school
regularly. At the present time,
the officers are endeavoring to in
terview some of the parents whose
children were delinquent in attend
ance, with the view that absences
will be eliminated largely this
year.
The laws Of the state are strict
in the matter of requiring school
attendance. Briefly. the reading
of the law is as follows: every
parent or guardian having charge
of a child between the ages Of
eight and eighteen years shall send
such child to a public, private or
parochial school for the entire
school year" The exceptions to
the law are few, and it is the def.
mite aim of the law that every child
shall receive instruction during its
minority.
So strict is the law in the matter,
that it is a serious misdemeanor
for parent or guardian not to
keep child in school, and as pen
atty for such offense. fines in the
discretion of the court are named.
The experience of the Juvenile
court has proved that the place for
child of school age is in school;
and Idaho is leader of western
states in laws that would give every
child instruction. Other states not
having effective laws regarding
school attendance are remedying
their statutes in this regard.
Parents not understanding the
law, are sometimes wont to keep
their children out to work, but I'M
less there is very good reason for
absence, the act is regarded by the
court as tending to encourage the
child's delinquency, and is termed
a misdemeanor. If child is to
be absent at all, except in the event
of illness, the county or city
superintendent of schools should
be seen, and the absense made reg
ular by securing permit for alb
sence.
In Boise and throughout the
county, schools are so placed that
they are convenient to nearly every
child, and with this mind, the
court will hold parents strictly re-
sponaible for their children's non
attendance.

by constitutional remedies. Deafness Is
caused by an innamed condition of the mu-

this tube il infiamed you have rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing. and when II Is
entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation cln be taken out

For the purpose OF bringing be-
fore the people the progress that
has been made in corn growing in
this vicinity and to stimulate in.
terest for better corn for both
grain and silage, corn show and
contest will be made possible by
the Copeland Lumber company
offering the following cash prizes;
$500 best 10-ear sample Of dent
corn; $500 I'd best 10.ear sample
of dent corn; So 90 Sd best 10 ear
sample of dent corn; So best
single ear of dent corn; $500 I'd
best ear of dent corn.
1t is desirable to know before
hand if enough will agree to take
sufficient interest by exhibiting
to assure the success of this show
as the above offer will be with
drawn by Sept. 5, unless enough
interest is shown to assure the
success of this show. To enable
us 10 get an estimate of the posi-
BILE number of exhibits, blanks
will be left at the offices of the
Copeland Lumber Co., in Merid-
ian and Kuna to be filled out as
follows: Stating that you agree to
exhibit together with your name
and address. The blanks should
be filled out by Sept. 5 and left at
the above Offices. By this means
an estimate of the exhibitors will
be made possible and if the num-
Der is large enough, plans, rules,
ETC., will be formulated and date
fixed for the holding of the show
A local corn show is a powerful
factor in the movement for better
corn. 1t shows the condition and
quality of corn grown and stimu-
lates an interest for better seed
besides the helpful talks that will
be given by the speakers on the
program.
To the individual winner there
is no better index for the selling
qualities of seed corn as he has
proof other than his own that he
really has good seed corn.
1t is hoped that everyone that
has corn will help make this a
success by exhibiting sample. Ii
it is a go, Meridian will be the
first town in the state to have a
corn show and will get a good
start as being a corn growing
center in the state.
Any one is eligible to exhibit
who lives within 7 mile radius
of Meridian or Kuna.
