Washington, May 4.-Robert J.. Kerr's term as civil governor of Vera Cruz during the American occupa- tion, will be very brief. Secretary Of War Garrison announced that the es- tablishment of the army in charge of the government of Vera Cruz would eliminate MT. Kerr. It was also ih- dicated by the secretary that army officers would take the places of the two other civilians who were appoint ed with MT. Kerr to fill the functions of other offices under the civil gov ernment for martial law established by Admiral Fletcher at Vera Cruz. This would displace William F.. Buckle as administrator of justice and Charles H. Stewart as treasurer of the newly established government. MT. Kerr is a Chicago lawyer.

GIVE THAT PUNY CHILD THIS
GUARANTEED REMEDY.

If your child is under-Weight, list
less, ailing, liable to get sick easily,
it needs a medicine to build its
weight and strength. For this pur-
pose there is nothing else we know
of that We can SO strongly endorse
as ReXall Olive Oil Emulsion. The
remarkable success of this splendid
medicine is due to the fact that 1t
contains ingredients that tone The
nerves, enrich the blood and furnish
to the entire system the strength,
weight and health-building substances
it needs. And, it does all this with
out injuring the stomach. In fact,
Rexall Olive Oil Emulsion is not
only pleasant to take, but even the
most sensitive stomach is benefited
by it, and the digestion improved.
On the other hand, it contains no
alcohol or habit-forming drugs, which
most parents object to giving their
children. 1t does its good work by
taking hold Of the weakness and
builds the body up to its natural
strength, at the same time making 1t
strong to resist disease.
doesn't build your child up, feed the
stunted, puny muscles. and make the
little one lively, strong, well, and
full of the animal spirits children
are meant by nature to have, come
back and tell US and get your money
back. We don't want you to lose a
cent. We think this is no more
than fair, and it leaves you no cause
to hesitate. For old people also-for
convalesc ents-for all who are ner-
vous, tired-out, rundown, no matter
what the cause-we offer Rexall
Olive Oil Emulsion with the same
guarantee of entire satisfaction or
money back. Sold only at the 1000
RexaH stores, and in this town on

four by one hundred and five feet.
They are supported by upright posts
resting on concrete bases eight inch
es square and rooted with rough
plank and patent roofing-very cheap
construction. Here the cattle spend
the winter. There is room enough
for them to run if they want to, but
the heavy winter rains will never
leach their manure, which contains
such high proportion Of the fertl-
lizing value of the food stuffs.
Mr.. Cornell finds that two tons OF
this kind of manure spread on an
acre of ground is great benefit
to the corn. He does not follow the
common practice of the south and
put commercial fertilizers on his
crops. The only fertilizer he buys
is raw rock phosphate and stock feed
His corn yields from thirty-five to
forty bushels to the acre. -Four
years ago, at the end of the cotton
epoch, he was getting from ten to
fifteen bushels an acre.
His main crop rotation runs
through four years. 1t begins with
fall-sown oats harvested in May. In
February lespedeza, OR japanese clio
yer, is soWn in the oats, and in
September it cuts a good crop of hay

self and gives two more hay crops IN
the second and third years of the
rotation, which is finished with corn
in the fourth year.
Soil and climate in this region GER
tainly do conspire to make it a
great meat-producing country. I'm
less I'm greatly mistaken it has Il
linois beaten by fifty per cent or
more. Illinois can raise more bush
els of corn to the acre than Loulsi-
ana. This may be due to superior
;ty Of Illinois for grain production, Or
it may be due to the fact that corn
breeders have mott yet evolved the
type suited to Louisiana conditions.
Louisiana corn tends to go to stalk.
1t grows ten Or twelve feet tall, with
less ear than you will find on a six
or seven foot stalk in Illinois, and
that ear hangs six Or seven feet up
in the air. This Louisiana tendency
to run to fodder merely calls for a
silo. Mr.. Cornell has answered the
call. =
1t is a fact that from Baton Rouge
southwark a farmer could, if he
hustled a bit, put two corn crops in
to his silo from the same field
in the same year. The corn
planting season runs from the
July. They begin on roasting ears
about May first, and ninety day
corn from northern seed is ready for
the silo by the end Of May. Three

TAX LEAKS

The leaks in the tax barrel is
causing much of the trouble. Roads
and schools furnish a good many of
them. There is a constant leakage
that represents in the course of a
year many thousands of dollars of
wasted public funds. Thousands Of
examples could be furnished. A few

pupils was five!

The trustees of some Independent

WHAT IS PRACTICAL?

We are informed that the school
board has voted against the teaching
of art and music in the public schools.
The reasons given are that these stud
les are not practical and; therefore,
the expense does not justify their
continuance in the school curriculum,
Practical is much used as we'll as
a much abused word. 1t possesses
one peculiarity-it is very Elusive.
1t is difficult to catch its full import.
Shut we l:t this pass. The real pur-
pose of school education is to fit
boys and girls for life. Assuming
this as the substantial basis, then it
follows that that which best prepares
the pupils to derive the most out of
life-the most enjoyment, the great
est amount of pleasure and happiness
is the most practical. To live or
to exist merely requires only certain
amount of meat and vegetables and
enought clothing to protect us from
the rigors of climate. The school
should prepare the pupil to possess
these with the greatest ease and in

Free Text
Books in the
Schools

In the press it is stated that there
will be no more free text books in
the Caldwell schools. Every year this
idea is given currency, and every year
the pupils are given free text books.
Free textbooks are as essential as
free schools, and where the pupils
are forced to go to school-Where
education is compulsory 1t becomes
an essential part of that scheme to
furnish those WHO must go to school
with the tools to work with, namely,
free text books. To force the par
ents to provide books for his children
places the burden of education on
those of our community who are
least able to bear it. Families are
not raised for profit. Those who
raise children give the product of
their labor and their toll, their care
and privations to society-to the
public and the more that society
bears the burden the greater is the
element of justice that obtains.
But society, perhaps, should not
bear the burden of a wanton di-
struction of public property-the
useless wear and tear, on school
books. And from a careful reading
of the public notices of the discon-
tinuance of free text books, we get
the idea that free text books are
not to be discontinued, but that par
ents will be required to deposit the
price of the text books used by their
children and upon the return of the
books in reasonable good condition
credit will be given for them, and
we presume that when the child has
no longer need of the books, the
money will be returned after deduc-
lions for useless and unnecessary
wear and tear Assuming the latter
to be true is it altogether just? AS
suming that a parent has five child.
rem in school, that would deprive
him of the use of $25 at least. And
that money would be tied up until
the children would leave school.
Has the trustees any idea what that
$25 means in flour, meat and potatoes
for poor family, the breadwinner of
which depends upon the uncertainty
of employment day by day? Have
they any idea what it means in sac
rifioc and privation? And as a rule
those who have the most money have
the fewest children, and those who
have the most children the least
money Therefore, the education of
the child, a gift of the parent to So
ciety, should be at the public ex-
pense The Idahoan.
