MRS. PERKINS RESIGNS.

Mrs. Eva M. Perkins, who taught
Seventh Grade in Central school be-
lore the holidays went to her home
in Texas to spend the vacation am
from there wired her resignation Last
Thursday.
President Alvey called the Board to-
gether to consider the s tuation they
were facing of opening school without
a Seventh Grade teacher, as it
seemed impossible to lind one on
such short notice especially prepared
and fitted for this critical grade. The
President and Superintendent were
appointed to secure successor to
Mrs. Perkins as soon as possible. 1t
was necessary to provide for the
Seventh Grade pupils in the mean
time until teacher specially prepar
ed for this grade could be secured,
The matter was considered from ev-
cry conceivable standpoint and it
was finally decided. that the Interests
of the children directly concerned de-
manded that the reviews of the four
months work just closed preparatory
to the Semester final examinations
which come next week, ought to be
conducted by the only other teacher
in the schools who has had seventh
grade work up to the holidays, 1t
was felt that in this way the child
rem could be prepared for the ex-
aminations next week better than
on any other plan. To put teach
er inexperienced in seventh grade
work, in this position at this particu-
lar stage of the work could not fail
to work hardship and an injustice
On the seventh grade children.
The regrettable thing about the
situation is that some of the parents
we're unwilling to recognize this vital |
TACT and assumed that the arrange.
nent had been entered into without
my forethought whatever.
The determining factor in any
school problem is and must be the
question, What is best for the child
en- who are directly concernedT On
his basis the present temporary ar
angement was made.
A successor to Mrs. Perkins has
cen secured and will be ready to
AXE up the regular work on Monday,
anuary 10.

Removing Paint Stains.

Paint Is one of the most usual OF the
unavoidable stains which atilict the
skirt worn out of doors. Fresh paint
signs are all very well If they are seen
in time, but they have an inconvenient
way of appearing boldly before the
eyes after damage has been done. The
sooner paint stain is removed the
easier the task OF removal will be.
Spread little dry laundry or corn
starch around the spot to keep the
paint when moistentd fran spreading.
Then wet the stain with turpentine.
After few minutes mOlsten again
Scrape the paint up with ii dull knife
or Il spoon handle and wet again with
turpentine When there Is no trace
left of the paint rub the spot dry with
Il clean cloth and brush off the starch.

Portia Club News

Good news for club members and
friends, who have missed our loyal
president from the chair for so many
meetings. At no meeting since Oc-
tober II, last fall has the president
for various reasons been able to pre-
side, but returning health will enab 9
her to again resume her club duties
and is fitting the next meeting jan
uary ~, will be Guest Day and the
club will start out on the even tenor
of its way with the New Year.
Prof. Nelson Is on the program to
give a musical talk and treat on the
Victrola. The explanation and exhi-
bition of the victrola will show what
can be done with it toward a musical
education for those not musical az
well as for those that are.
Owing to the continued absence
of the president several members of
the club, whose names have been CIV
en- in a past issue, feeling the bur
den of the piano debt and realizing
the necessity of substantial pay.
ment at this time assumed the re-
sponsibility of giving series of en-
tertainments to in a measure help
to cancel the debt. One very sue
cessful one has been given and 9TH
ers will follow.
One other committee reported that
a musical entertainment would soon
be given by the music committee.
Whatever money is secured by
these committees goes into the pi-
ano fund. Also a lecture and stere-
opticon views will be given in the
near future by man recently re-
turned from Alaska after a fourteen
years stay there in government Of
flee. This will probably be arranged
for by the Educational Committee
Don't forget to invite a guest and
10 welcome the returning president
with full attendance.

TRAVELLING Sand Hills.

On the coast of I'Omerania there are
large tracts of sand heaped up by the
wind. hundreds of yards in breadth
and from 60 to l20 feet high. and
these hills. propelled by the wind.
move steadily in an easterly direction.
The speed at which these great hills
travel is from thirty nine to ffty-slS
feet a year Pine woods, which some
times come In their line of march. can
not stop them and are completely de-
stroyed The branches are rotted of
by the sand. and nothing is left OF the
tree but the bare stems. which after
a few years wither and die.

ALLAH'S HUNDREDTH NAME.
Only the Camel Knows It; Hence the
Sheer on Its Face.

Sheer on Its race.
The 900 widows of tile mosque oi
Sultan Selim remind one of the ninety
nine names of Allah These ninety
nine names, the Arabs say, are written
In the palms of the hands of all true
believers. The explanation Is inter
esting. and even an unbelieEer can
test It
The Arabic mineral s is written IKE
w inverted v of the English alpha
bet by holding up your left hand, with
the thumb and fingers bent slightly
inward the Hnes of the palms will be
seen to take the form CT rough Al,
which makes the Arabic figures 81.
Placing the right hand under the left
In the same way makes the figures
10 QAD The total is 90
There ought really to be 100, but the
hundredth is lost to every creature
but one.
Why does the camel wear such a su-
percilious expression? The heavy pen
dulous under lip and the snarling curl
of the upper give an expression Of
sneering contempt which can hardly
be equaed In the brute creation.
No wonder The camel alone knows
the hundredth name of Allah. and he
won't tell it Manchester Guardian.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

HUI UUllUUl NUILU
School began again Monday with
a full attendance and both teachers
and pupils expressed themselves as
glad to be back after a joyous hoh-
day vacation.
Marie Smith spent her Merry Xmas
and Happy New Year vacation at
Weatherby, Oregon, where her par
ents recently moved.
Poems, poems, can't write,
For it's been showing all the night,
And my fingers, they are numb,
And my Imagination dumb.
If could write like Shakespeare,
I'd be writing all the year
But I'm nothing but Soph,
So, guess I'll ring off.
This poem and the following one
were written in the Sophomore En-
glish class during the regular forty
minute class period on Wednesday,
before Christmas.
Some poets symbolic winter
AS man old and gray,
But l, net being poet
VIII say she's a maiden gay.
She dances along the pavements,
Her white garments flutteriGg by,
And children play together
With merry laugh and cry.
And even the very aged,
On the dawn OF the first winter cay
Look out, and smile, and remember
Their own happy childhood play.
Pauline Hillman spent her busy
vacation in Boise helping to care
for the new baby brother who arriv-
ed at her home shortly before Xmas.
Miss Dorsey entertained the girls
of the 1913 class in the meeting of
the D. A. C. club. The time was
spent largely in talking over the
sast few months of college and home
Those girls who could
be present were Gladys Wilcox,
Esther Reed, Pauline Ainey, Ellen
HILL Ruth Kenward and Aldula Greg
ory.
A number of the alumni visited
the school before Christmas and
they all believed, as we do, that a
new High School building is needed
badly.
We all know that Julian Lowe en-
ioyed his vacation at home in Owy-
nee, Oregon, from the things In
German in class Monday morning.
Tonight the Freshman class will
enjoy a sleighride. Particulars next
week.
We have seen no parents since va
cation. They are always welcome.
No Senior class meeting yet this
week. We wonder why.
The High School appreciates the
,hange in the appearance of our
'ooms during our vacation. Mr.. and
Mrs. Brubaker must surely have
worked industriously, for clean desks,
boards and windows greeted us up
N our return.
Monday evening a very cunning
-oung person appeared, framed, up
N the wall in front of the seats oc-
upied by Freshmen. To make recog-
ition more certain 1t was labeled

hanged frames. The first inscnp-

STATEWIDE PROHIBITION FAv.
ORED
supt. Herwig Reelected for the Fifth
Time by Unanimous Vote.

The Board of Trustees OF the Anti
Saloon League of Idaho, which con-
sists of two representatives OF each
church denomination and temperance
society, and twenty at large, held
their annual meeting at the Y. M.
|C. A. Building in this city, Friday,
Jan. End.
The Importance attached to this
meeting was the reading Of the au-
nual report of the superintendent,
the submitting Of a financial state
ment from the auditing committee
the election of officers and the out
lining of the policies of the League
for the coming year.
Decide to Wage Statewide Prohib!-
tion Flight.
The most important business trans
acted was the launching Of the state
wide prohibition campaign. Tremeuld-
GUS progress has been made In Idaho
during the past five years. Five years
ago, there were more than one thous-
and saloons in Idaho, and the state
was considered wet" state. Under
the Local Option Jaw PASSED in 1903,
the saloons of Idaho have been re-
duced to about two hundred. Three
of the largest breweries have been
obliged to go out of business on a.
count of insufficient patronage. TWEEN
ty-one of the 33 counties are dry,
which gives the "drys" more than
80 per cent of the territory of the
state, It Us estimated that of the
325,597 people living in Idaho, 5000
people live In dry" territory. Of the
20 local option elections held In Ida
no since the passage of the Local
Option law in 1909, 81 elections were
won by the "drys" while only eight
were won by the iwets.p
On account of the great progress
made, and the overwhelming senti-
ment throughout the state, the Leeg-
ne feels justified i'm making the
campaign for statewide prohibition,
1t is the plan of the League to organ
ize every dry" county in Idaho in
order to secure the nomination and
electino of candidates to the Legisla-
ture who are known to be right on
the temperance question and will
vote for the passage of a prohibition
bill and at the same time submit a
Constitutional Prohibition Amend
ment.
Campaign of Education,
The Anti7Saloon League is to i'm
mediately enter upon the most ag-
gressive and far-reaching education
al campaign eyer undertaken i'm the
northwest Literature by the thou
sands Of pages will be distributed and
the circulation of the Leagues off
cial paper, The Idaho Citizen, will |
be placed into practically every tenn
perance home in the state.
P. A. Baker, D. D., National Sup
erintendent of the Anti-Salocn Leag-
lie of America; Howard H Russsi',
D. D., founder of the Anti-Saloon
League, and 9. H. Cherrington, Esq,
editor of the American Issue, haye
already been engaged. Other speak
srs of national fame are being se-
cured. Prominent speakers of Idaho
Ind the northwest will appear ON the
,rogram.

BARNEY ROBERTS |S
 EXCELLENT TRADER
Buys Dinner for Champ Clark and Fred BlackmOn
 and May Get Reward

It is known that yesterday Barney Rob- erts, one of the few good democrats who live in Chiffon county, bought a dinner for Champ Clark, speaker of the House of Representatives, and Fred l.. Black mon, congressman from the Fourth Ala bama district It is believed that follow ing that dinner Congressman Blackmon agreed to appoint MT. Roberts postmaster at Clanton.
 Another interesting feature of the day was that MT. Clark, although accustomed to the good things of Missouri, expressed d keen desire to sink his teeth into an Alabama cured ham, So Mir Roberts agreed to send MT Clark four or live shortly after March next year. The date was agreed upon because MT. Roberts made it a condition under which he would send the hams that MT. Clark would have to receive for third time the election to the speakership. It Is a significant fact that when the condition was made known the speaker declared:
 Well, I hope l am elected
 MT. Roberts Is 21 years of age. He man. aged MT. Blackmons congressional cam paign in Chiffon county, and although MT. Blackmon's opponent was Judge Dea- son, a resident of Chiffon, republican stronghold MT. Roberts kept the anti democratic majority within the bounds Of decency.
 His friends will be glad when the news is official that MT. Blackmon will make him postma ster.

The abolishing of all skin disorders must begin with the hlood. Lotions salves, cosmetics. etc.. will do no ma terial good. The trouble comes from within and there the re medy must be applied.
 If you really desire quick action ana at the same time a common sense, nat ural, harmless blood purifier then Stuart's Calcium Waters is this rem edy.
 The correct and best blood purifier known to science is--Calcium Sulphidc. This great cleanser Is contained il proper quantities in Stuart's Calcium Waters and that is why all blood trou- bles and skin blemishes rapidly disap- pear after their use.
 An unsightly and pimrly face due to impure blood is one of the most dis gusting sights one can see, and yet all about us, upon the streets. in the thea 1 tre, when travelling, etc. we see these horrible results.
