University President Teaches.
President Brannon, of the University
of Idaho, unlike most college presi-
dents, teaches classes himself, in plant
physiology and plant pathology, chief
ly for Agricultural students. There
are few men in the country who are
MS equal in these and similar sub
Jects. AS a matter of fact, the class
In plant pathology, or diseases of
plants, had been waiting more than a
year for this advanced and technical
instruction. These subjects are ex-
ceedingly practical in great agricul-
tural state, but the board determined
to relieve DR.. Brannon from part Of
this extra burden by employing a
plant pathologist as soon as funds
were available.
Deaf and Blind School Grows
The large attendance at the Gooding
Deaf and Blind school has made neces-
sary the employment of an additional
teacher Not only is the school over
crowded, but a considerable number
of deaf and blind children in various
parts of the state are still uncared for.
Board Continues to Stand for EcOnOmy
The preliminary canvass. of requests
from the six institutions for biennial
appropriations showed that their work
and their financial needs were grow
me. Deteriorati ton of buildings and
equipment made an important item of
eXnense. The board stated as their
belief that the people of the state de-
sired at all times to give reasonable
support to their educational institu-
tons, and yet they have from the out
set held clearly in mind the special
demand for economy in all state af-
fairs at this time of general financial
stringency.
In December the board will meet
to pass finally upon the requests for
appropriations for all state institutions
under its control The requests will
then be presented by the board to the
legislature, as the law directs.
The large volume of routine bust
ness of schools required day and even
ing sessions for four days.

TEE new BILL ALL RIGHT
New York Banker Considers 1t Good
0le on the Whole.
(Holland s Letter in Wall Street
Journal.)

(Holland's Letter in Wall Street
Journal.)
The bill is a good one on the whole.
If there are any defects they can
easily be corrected by subsequent
legislation. There is absolutely no
good reason for business apprehen-
sion because fundamental conditions
all over the country are sound"
This comment was made by the
president Of one of the large Ma
tional banks Of New York who was
at one time president Of the New
York State Bankers Association.
He was certain that he voiced the
sentiment Of all bankers Of New
York-at least all who were
operating under Federal charter.
He admitted that when the banking
and currency bill was first reported
to the lower house of Congress he
had gone so far as to prepare
statement for the consideration Of
the directors Of his bank SO that
they might be guided in coming TO
decision whether or not in case the
original measure became law IS it
was first drafted they should sur
render their National charters and
continue business under State char
ters. But that was done before the
bill was perfected.
Readjustment from the old to the
new will take some time. The Ma
tional banking act which the Secre-
tary Of the Treasury Salmon P.
Chase compelled a reluctant Con-
gress to pass early in the Admins
tration Of President Lincoln, is to be
supplanted by new system modelled
in such manner as to be sympa-
thetic with modern conditions and
with the purpose Of oveTc )ming tie
great defects Of the old National
banking namely, rigi+y of the
currency and the inevitable concen-
tratioc Of very large cash and credit
resources in the chief financial cen
ters of the country. But it is the
belief Of bankers Of this city that
! throughout the county a disposition
I cordially to cooperate with the
Government in the work Of esta bl1stl-
ing the new and discarding tbs
ola will make the readjustment com
paratively easy.
While undoubtedly some anxiety
and some misanthropic views re-
specting business do prevail, yet not
any of the leading bankers Of New
York and not many of the business
men share this feeling.

FsAE NEWSPAPER AGENT TO THE PEN
Judge C9l90r at WarreD Court Puts
Finishing Touch on Fictitious
Mute Who Called DefPauded
Easy Marks.

Warrenton, Jan. s5.-Superior
Court convened here Monday morn
ing, Judge Geo. w. CoEnor presid-
ing. Judge Connor has made most
favorable impression upon our citi-
zens, and we are delighted to have
him preside over our courts.
One Of the most interesting cases
before the court was that Of State
against T. V. Cooper, alias C. H.
Coleman, alias Jim Coleman, alias F.
W. Frank, who has been soliciting
subscriptions to magazines, Ladies
Home Journal and Saturday even
ing Post among the number, and
palming himself off as mute, there
by getting the sympathy Of the sub
scribers. He has not turned into
the head agency the subscription
funds. and Dragged about the citi-
zens Of Littleton being "easiIy taken
in.'
They heard of the trick played
upon them and had him arrested in
Selma. lt turns out that he has
been going all over the country So
Letting and obtaining money in this
manner; that he was arrested and
jailed in Baton Rouge, La, as dan
gerous and suspicious character. and
confined III the Jail there; that he
broke@@jail and has been continuing
his work all through North Carolina
and other States. The publishing
houses have him listed and his pic
ture was sent with the remark that
eve believe you have a slick and
dangerson rascal"
Cooper claims Nash county as his
birthplace and kinship with some OF
the best citizens there.
The jury convicted him after be
ing out three minutes and Judge
Connor gave him two years in the
penitentiary. The newspapers anC
the magazine publishers Of the coun-
try are to be congratulated upor
tnss important capture.

DANGER after GRIPPE
Lies in Poor Blood, Cough and
Worn-Out Condition.

Grippe, pleurisy, pneumonia are
greatly to be feared at this season.
To prevent grippe from being fol-
lowed by either pleurisy or pneumo-
MIA, it is important to drive the last
traces Of it out Of the system.
Our advice is to take Vinol, our
delicious cod liver and iron prepara.
ton without oil, and get your
strength and vitality back quickly.
w. w. Lake of Aberdeen, Miss,
says: Grippe left me weak, rundown
and with a severe cough from which
I suffered for long time. { tried
different remedies, but nothing SEEM
ed to do me any good until | took
Vinol from which I received great
benefit. My cough is almost entirely
gone and l am strong and well again. =
Try Vinol with the certainty that
if it does not benefit you we will give
back your money

Although there have been many
seoail failures and one large one in
the automobile industry during 1918,
most OF the big concerns have had an
extremely prosperous year.
During its fiscal year ended July
81, the General Motors Company
earned q surplus on its common
stock Of $6,41O, ,937 or 38.9 per cent
against $2,856,083 or 17,44 per cent
in 1912. Since the close Of the fiscal
period earnings have been good but
it is not likely that the current sea-
son can duplicate the one just closed.
TIE Studebaker Company is doing
well, according to a director, al
though no figures are available for
comparison with last year, when
5.95 per cent was earned on the
$27, ,93l 900 Junior shares.
For its fiscal year ended June 80,
the WHY'S Overland Company, one
Of the most successful concerns in
the business, showed a surplus on
its common stock Of 265 per ceni
against 40 per cent in 1912.
The Chalmers Motor Company

about 35 per cent.

Provide $500 For Curing Tubercula!
Brethren.

At the meeting of the Grand

the most significant actions taken
was the providing of $500 to pay for
the treatment Of needy and worthy
tubercular Masons at the State San

The usual cost of sanatorium treat
ment for tuberculosis, equal to that
