The system adopted in the schools
here giving credits for chores and
household work performed by the
pupils at their homes, is becoming
quite popular not only among the pu-
pills but the parents as well. While
the system has been In practice only
a week, we hear only words of com
mendation for it, especially on the
part of the parents. as several a tired
mother has stated to US that their
children now insist on washing the
dishes, and doing all the household
work that they are able to do while
at home, and which was formerly left
for mother to do. AS the work pro-
crosses and the children are accord
ed the credits that they are entitled
to, it is more than likely that the
system will become more popular,
and it is not unlikely that more or
less rivalry will spring up among the
scholars in their ambition to secure
credits.

An Early Applicant.

The First National Bank Of Je-
rome, by its directors at a meeting
held on Tuesday, has made applica-
ton for membership in the associa-
ton Of regional reserve banks to be
formed in accordance with the new
Federal Reserve Act recently signed
by President Wilson. This new law
enacted by congress is made with the
view Of lifting from the country the
continual bugbear of financial panic,
and the forming or regional reserve
banks means that banks doing bust
ness under a national charter are
still further brought under the sup
ervision and direction Of the govern
ment, and their paper given a more
elastic Interpretation along the lines
Of credit. The new law is very thor
ough and covers needs that have
constantly made their appearance
in financial circles, and this practi-
cal consolidation of national bank
ing institutions spells permanency of
credit in whatever Uncle Samuel has
a hand. The First National Bank of
Jerome is among the early appli-
cants.
1t might be stated in this con-
nection that the passage Of this cur
rency reform measure, now that po-
litical prejudice is somewhat subsid-
ing, is looked upon generally as one
of the greatest forward steps in the
interest OF the people that has ever
been taken and President WILSON, is
receiving the credit due him for his
persistency in demanding it's pass
age. The effects of the measure or
general conditions in the country
will become more pronounced wher
the system becomes organized and il
put into active operation.

The Idaho Southern has discontin-
ued the express service on its line,
which leaves us only the Short Line
through which we can expect this
service. The order went forward
for the discontinuance OF this serv-
Ice the first OF the year, but no men
ton OF it was made at that time as
efforts were being made by some to
have the order revoked.
With the business here divided
between the Southern and the Short
Line, and this in connection with the
Parcels Post, s diminished the bust
ness on the Southern that they were
not warranted in continuing the
service. The parties most inconven-
fenced by the change are the cream
shippers and an effort is still being
made by them to have the service
continued. Cream Is shipped from
here Wednesdays and Saturdays. but
II is not received early enough ir
the day to catch the Short Line trair
and as a consequence II must be hello
over a day. and necessarily from Sat
urday TO Monday.
Strong efforts are therefore beini
put forth by those shippers and 1t /
to be hoped that these efforts ma.
result in some special arrangement
being made to care for the cream
shipments at least.

WIPED OUT BY Il
The Home OF +. S. G~arrettson De-
stroyed, Together with the
Entire Contents.

Fire yesterday morning totally
destroyed the country home OF Mr..
F. S. Garrettson, situated three
miles north and one mile west of
town. The cause of the fire is not
definitely known, but can probably
be traced to a defective iue. Mrs.
Garrettson was in the kitchen at
tending to her household duties, and
hearing the baby cry, which she had
left In the front room, she opened
the door to that room which she
found filled with fire and smoke. MI.
Garrettson, being at the barn had
noticed the fire at about the same
time. rushed to the house, Just In
time to ave both his wife and the
child, as the mother in rescuing the
child from the flames had received
several bad burns. The escape Of
the baby. however. Is wonderful, as
its little shoes and stockings were
badly burned.
OF course there was no time to
save any of the household goods and
all the inmates could do was t. stand
by and watch the flames devour all
their belongings including all their
clothing except what they had on.
Another sad feature Of the fire was
the fact that Mr.. Garrettson having
five young calves had given them
shelter IN the cellar of the house
during the cold nights, and not hav-
ing removed them they suffered
death from the flames.
There was a small insurance on
the building, but the contents were
a total loss, and coming as it does,
in the middle Of the winter. it en-
tails a severe hardship upon this es-
Unable family, consisting, as it does
OF husband and wife and FIVE chill
dren.
Thanks to the kind neighbors and
others. assistance is being rendered
the family, and being bereft, as the,
are. of clothing and household uten
sils, articles of this nature will b,
very acceptable. They have founC
temporary quarters in the shack OF
the Shepler place near by. and Will
they deeply deplore the loss of ev
erything they had, they at the sam
time feel thankful that no live
were sacrificed.
As an i%dnication OF the true spiri
that predominates in the hearts o
the people of this community, a
soon as the news of the fire reache,
town, messengers were at once sen
to the scene to ascertain il anythinI
could be done. as a result OF whic'
a meeting OF representatives of tn
Civic Club and Business Mems AS
ISOLATION were called together in tn
afternoon and a committee appoint
' ed to confer with the family and a:
certain their wants, and render theI
y such assistance as needed.

The language Of the horse is cas-
lily learned. II drivers would watch
carefully the horses under their care
they could readily detect signs OF un-
easiness or suffering. 1t is a we'll
known fact that the ears OF the
horse express his emotion; when
they have a backward slant it shows
that he is i'll treated Or thinks he is
going to be. Through the eye the
horse expresses his feelings. When
he is suffering his eye is contracted,
1t has a nervous rest. When a horse
is comfortable his eye seems large
and full and he has a serene look.
