doings it will be the occasion of a
big celebration by Cavalier county
people generally.

THE TEACHERS INSTITUTE,

In order that it may not be considered a
chronic kicker The Tribune will shift the burden of this
complaint to of the school Of Caldwell This
trustee is well able and not to shoulderng the kick
He that the teachers institute which held at Boise
annually accompshes little good and that the school
districts should receive relief The law provides that all
teachers with the exception of the teachers in the city
schools of Boise in this section of the shall attend
the institute held at Boise each year Their salaries
teachers paid by the districts while they in
tendance at the institute. Our trustee informs that
the teachers state that they derive little benefit
attendance They go to Boise; register for the institute;
attend lecture two visit their friends do their shop
ping; return home tired and darky ignorant they
were before By strange caprice of fancy the egs
laure left attendance the institute optional with Boise
teachers They do need advance thought and nsruc
ton in their profession.
The trustee states that the district institute was evident
y conceived by the enerprising shopkeepcrs of Boise
Prior to the institute the teachers who will attend are adj
vsed of the superior shopping advantages Of Boise They
are invited to call at the store and open account with
the merchant He will be pleased to sell them their fall
and winter clothes the nsallment PLAN that is we
presume, they pay for the clothes the nsalmen
plan The teacher follows the suggestions offered by the
merchant much closely than the suggestions offered
by the learned professors doctors teachers of peda
gogy This to be the idea of the Caldwell trustee

DECREASE IN CONSUMPTION OF LIQUORS AND
TOBACCO

government bulletin says that 124O000OO gallons of
distilled liquor consumed in the United States last
year This is decrease of 100000 gallons from the
consumption of the year ending June 1914 The quantity
of beer and other fermened liquors. which taxes were
paid amouner to 597467O barrels against &c $50
for the preceding year The production of cigars de-
creased nearly 7OOO00000 the consumption of snuff de-
creased 100000 pounds; the consumption of chewing to-
bacco decreased 100000 lbs The production of cigarettes
increased 329OOOOO is claimed that if the decrease in
the of liquors continues the ratio for 10 years
there will be little liquors consumed in this
try
Inc above hgures indicate that the people of this
try are using less tobacco and liquors Some attribute the
decrease to hard times Others the prohibition move
ment that has swept the country We suspect that the
real reason is that people becoming convinced
there benefit to be derived from the use of liquors
and tobacco. They smoking and drinking less than
they formerly did Times have to be mighty hard before
the tobacco supply is cut off entirely Prohibition must
be mighty stringent before there is any great reduction
in the quantity of liquor consumed When sense
gets busy ii raises havoc in a hurry

THE DISMISSAL OF THE REGISTER OF LAND
BOARD

The Republican state officials have gotten themselves
out of awkward situation by declaring the office of
register of the state land board Mr. N Jenness
was removed from office His has not been
appointed An effort will be made to handle this work
without register of the board The members of the
state land board will thoroughly investigate the land
office for the purpose of learning the proper method of
recognizing the department The Tribune is convinced
that the department will be recognized that no critic
ism will follow.
1t IS interesting to note in review that the office of regis
ter OF the state land board has always been source
trouble and annoyance the members of the board Away
back in 1906 fight occurred in this department which
eliminated in the summary dismissal of Register c. S
Mcconnell on motion of Attorney General John J.
Guheen. Mr. Mcconnell succeeded by Mr. NJ l.
Church who held the Office up to and during part OF the
administration OF Governor Brady He was summarly
dismissed and N Jenness appointed Mr. Jenness held
the office until last week when he was dismissed in the
manner.
We imagine that in the of these three men, all of
whom above the many respects the trouble
that long tenure of office had lead them to believe
that their services indispensable the state and
ticulary to the state land department. With this idea
came the feeling that the office which they were filling be-
longed to them and should be worked for al il was worth
The inevitable result that when they became too
pressing upon the patience of the members of the state
land board they removed from office

Editorial Advice

wo correspondents wrote to a

desiring to know respectively The
best way Of assisting twins through

chard of grasshoppers."
The editor answered both questions
faithfully, but unfortunately got the

ing twins was thunderstruck by the
following advice: '"'
II you are unfortunate enough to
be plagued by these unwelcome little
pests, the quickest way of settling
them is to cover them with straw and
set the bunch on fire."
The other man who was bothered
win grasshoppers, was equally amaz-
ed to read: The best method of treat
ment is to give each a warm bath
twice day and rub their gums with
India rubber" '''
