MAYORS PROCLAMATION
Home Industry Week in Twin
Falls.

The first organized effort toward
the observance of custom by which
home manufacturers and merchants
should receive just recognition for
their efforts in upbuilding the COM
munity was made in March, 1912, in
the City of Twin Falls, under the aus
plces of the club women
The following year the observance
was made general over the state and
an entire week was devoted to the
promulgation and promotion of the
tenets of home industry. This year
the governor of the state of Idaho has
issued proclamation calling on all
the people of the state to observe the
week at the time which custom has
set as the annual date, to-wit: the
week of April 13 to 1S.
Believing in the principles which
underlie this movement, and that all
loyal citizens should and will help in
the development of the community by
patronizing-
First, those industries which are
located in our home town or state;
Second, those industries which are
located west of the Rocky Mountains;
Now, therefore, I, G. O. Meigs, mayor
of the City of Twin Falls, Idaho, do
designate and set apart the week be-
ginning Monday, the 18th day of April
and ending Saturday, the 18th day of
April, as Home Industry Week, and
ask all citizens to observe the pro-
gram OF the week as prepared by the
club women, hoping thereby that re-
newed impetus will be given to our
local industries and business institu-
tions.
In testimony whereof, I have set
my hand and caused the official seal
of the City of Twin Falls to be affixed,
this, the Oath day of March. 1914.
G. o. MEIGS, Mayor.

BUSH INTERVIEWED
IN SALT LAKE CITY.
Extension Into Idaho Contemplated
According to Head of the Gould
Systems.

Salt Lakes hopes of becoming the
headquarters of the operating depart
ment of the Denver & Rio Grande anG
| the Western Pacific, with the central
ization in Salt Lake of most of the
general offices of both railroads, be-
came brighter than ever Saturday
with the arrival in Salt Lake of Presi-
dent B. F. Bush of the Gould lines. He
said positively that he would not deny
that Salt Lake is under serious con-
sideration by the Gould system as the
operating headquarters of the Denver
& Rio Grande and the Western Pacifi.
At present the headquarters of the
Denver & Rio Grande are at Den
yer and the headquarters of the West
ern Pacific at San Francisco. These
headquarters now practically are al
extremities, condition which is not
considered good in railroad strategy.
With the tour of inspection of Presi-
dent Bush the efficiency in operation
of the Denver & Rio Grande and the
Western Pacific will be strengthened
and it is said that Salt Lake may be
the headquarters of the operating de-
partment of both railroads before
1915.
President Bush added that the
Gould system is determined upon ex
tending a line into Idaho as soon as
financial conditions of the country
permit He would not discuss how and
where the new line of the Gould sys-
tenn will be extended into Idaho, but
he appeared certain that Idaho will
be the first point in consideration
when the Gould lines decide to make
further extensions. He was far from
being optimistic over the financial
outlook in the east.-Salt Lake Her.

coLoRADo's SCHOOL STATISTICS.

A Colorado exchange reproduces the figures showing the school
statistics of the state in SO far as the schools haNi ing fewer than
three hundred and fifty pupils are concerned.
The figures show that the state had S3o4O children Of school
age for the past eight years, Oh an average, but the average attend
anee. at the schools was only 81, 1872, or about seVentY-hyc per cent.
Out of the total Of $3.50 children OF school age, only l4,2o3
of them graduated from the eighth grade. This was twenty-five
per cent of the enrolment, or about twenty per cent of those eli
gible.
Eighty per cent of all the country Children comments our
western contemporary, az fell by the way side. Eighty per cent did
not reach the goal set for them by our school system.
From these figures the statistcanS deduce that Eighty per cent
of the school children have gone into the educational. scrap heap
The same stahsticians evolve this idea: IF eighty per cent of our
crops failed to mature, or eighty per cent of the live stock Wrr"
unfit for market, the farmer could hardly live and cities could not
exist
True enough. But these school Statstcians deduce from er.
1oneous premises. Their deduction that eighty per cent of the school
children are thrown into the educational scrap heap is well enough
so far as it goes, but it lamentably fails to 90 far enough. The chill
dren are not necessarily complete failures because they fail to pass
through even the eighth grade. They are not lost to the world as
would be the crop that failed to mature, They are still entities to
he reckoned with.
The fact that only about one-ffth OF the entire school popula-
non of the state awaited itself Of the full privileges of the public
schools may be opened to the criticism that the proportion would
probably be far less were the school system adjusted to the actual
needs of the public.
Our school system, it is true, has met with worldwide COM
mendatlon, but the fact that. notwithstanding its beneficial effects.
SO comparatively few avail themselves of its full advantages sug-
gests the probability that it is not meeting in full the needs of the
American public.
What's the sense IN holding our public school system to a chan
mel grooYed ont by the colleges and universities when but an inag-
nineant number out OF each one hundred ever make use of the CLASH
cal conrsesf
School statisicians should pause TO consider whether, after all
the fact that but a small percentage of the whole number of school
children graduate even from the eighth grade does not suggest the
1nadeauacy OF the system to meet the requirements of the rising
generation.

MORE CORN WILL MEAN
MORE VALUABLE BEEF

The fact that the total production
of corn in Minnesota has doubled
during the past ter years is perhaps
the most significant thing in the agri-
cultural development of this state.
No farm crop is capable of furnish
ing SO much f%attening material at SC
low a cost of production as this GER
cal. The stalks properly cured in the
shock, or what is better, in the silo,
provide an extremely valuable ad.
junct for cattle feeding, says H. r.
Smith, University Farm, st. Paul,
MINI.
Mr.. Smith found after a series of
experiments, covering a period Of ten
years, hat beet can be produced in
Nebraska at the lowest cost and with
the highest profits On a combination
of the corn plant and alfalfa hay. In
every experiment where this combina-
ton was fed, there was found to be a
substantial profit over and above the
cost of food, even at times when other
combinations were fed at a small
loss.
Glover belongs to the same family
as alfalfa, and can also be used to ex-
cellent advantage in connection with
corn Both hay plants supply the
nutrient which is lacking in corn,
namely, protein, to give a well-bal-
anced ration, though alfalfa is some
what richer than clover in this.
The growing of more corn means
cleaner land in Minnesota, and when
fed to livestock, as should be done
to be most profitable, it is certain to
encourage the growing of more clover
and alfalfa for use as a supplement
tary feed. Both add greatly to the
fertility of the land, making it pos
sible to increase the yield to the acre.
With increased corn production ma
follows more livestock, adds
Mr.. Smith. 1t is especially favorable
to the production of beef cattle be-
cause of the roughage such cattle con
sumo in connection with grain and be-
cause a large number can be fed on
the farm with but little labor.-Min-

There Is no warrant at all for the

Whatever may be true when mer-

Undoubtedly the war viii advance

partly on the farmers, most of whom

and partly on retailers, but the PACK

The big trusts are calmly trying to

sPIRITlsM SAID
TO BE DEM0NlsM.

A most interesting little brochure
has recently come off the press setting
forth with Bible proofs that the CON-
municaHons received by and through
Spiritist Mediums is Of Demon origin.
The writer traces his subject through
the Scriptures from the time when
certain Of the holy angels became dis
sbedient. He proves from the Scrip
lures that these fallen spirits per-
senate the human dead, with whose
past history, spirits, though invisible,
are thoroughly acquainted. He shows
that they also frequently person
ate the Creator and the Redeemer,
commanding their deceived ones to
pray, do penance, etc. This, however,
is merely TO lead them on and to bring
them more thoroughly under demoni-
acal control. Sometimes by breaking
down the natural barrier, the human
will, they possess their victim, and rule
him more or less to his ruin-frequent-
ly sending such to the mad-house.
Numerous illustrations, Scriptural and
otherwise, are given The price Of the
little book is but ten cents; it should
be in the hands of all interested in
Spiritism or who have friends inter
ested therein. Enclose FIVE two-cent
stamps to the Bible and Tract Society,

A QUESTION OF ETHICS.

sN Commenting on the reported refusal Of a postmaster to permit
a card with the printed word hell thereon to pass through the

Ice, the Savannah lGa9 News says:

why the word is held in such bad repute. 1t is used frequently ID
