BACK TO THE SPELLER.

AS result of an investigation made
by the national board of education, it
is announced that seven out of every
one hundred third grade public school
children cannot spell the word has"
There is other evidence of neglect in
that branch of elementary education,
and suggestions are made to school
authorities with a view of overcoming
that delinquency.
Nowadays people would poke fun at
the old fashioned "spellin' school," but
it had far greater bearing upon gen
eral education than was disclosed on
the surface. Those who can spell well
usually have a better grasp of Eng
lish and a more extended vocabulary.
AS poor spelling has developed, so the
vocabulary has been diminished until
now it is stated that with a large
number of people fifty words, with
their synonyms, constitute most of the
vocabulary used in letter writing.
The movement for better spelling
looks to enlargement in the number
of words employed by the average
person and in their correct use.
The reports of the national educa-
tional authorities indicate that practi-
cal interest of the attachment to our
school system of Improbable and ex-
pensive fads.-Boise Statesman.
The public schools of Caldwell are
a source of great pride to the people
of the city. The buildings are modern,
convenient and suitable The equip
ment is sufficient in every particular.
The teachers are worthy men and wo-
men. They are capable and experience
ed. In spite of all this we are assured
that the children of Caldwell cannot
spell simple, every day words. The
assertion is made that Caldwell can
include the fourth grade and increase
the percentage of children who cannot
spell the word has"

CHAMPIONS OF OREGON
WILL PLAY CALDWELL
BALL TEAM

Championship baseball will be stag
ed at Recreation Park next SUNDAY
when the speedy Baker City, Oregon.
aggregation, champions of eastern Ore
gon, and Caldwell the Idaho-Oreqon
league pennant winners, clash for tbe
championship of eastern Oregon and
southwestern Idaho. The game will
be called promptly at o'clock to en-
able the visitors to return home Sun
day evening
According to reports the eastern
Oregon metropolis has one of the
fastest teams in its history this year.
The Baker City club has defeated with
ease the best teams in eastern Oregon
and is coming to Caldwell with the
avowed intention of adding another
scalp to its already long list. Base
ball enthusiasts who have been fol-
lowing the record of the Oregonians
predict that the game Sunday will be
worth coming miles to see.
Should the local club defeat the
Baker team challenge will be issued
to Twin Falls, undisputed champions
of eastern Idaho, for the champion
ship of the intermountain section. If
is probable that a series of three
games will be arranged. Whether
the games will be played in Caldwell
will depend largely upon the support
given the team Sunday. The manage
ment has received flattering offer
to rlay the series in Twin Falls but
prefers to stage the series in Cald-
well, in order that local fans who
have supported the team so loyalty
this season may see the team in ac-
ton against worthy opponents.
The to 3 defeat handed to Nampa
last Sunday has discouraged the Jun
ction city lads and they have decided
to disband for the season.

READER EXPLAINS HIS
POSITION TOWARD
HOME MERCHANTS
Editor OF The Caldwell Tribune,

Dear Sir
Last week The Tribune contained a
neat little question from the Caldwell
commercial Club about what would
become OF the town ii you and | and
our neighbors bought out of town.
>, Let MS see why we buy out Of town.
10 save some OF our hard earned dol
lars, of course We might take the
lumber business for an example. A
large quantity Of lumber has been
hauled from Parma to Caldwell and
vicinity, and as near as can be learned
z nice little sum was saved on every
load. Then we might take fence posts:
Some farmers dubbed together and
ordered a car load of posts But first
they submitted the order to local
lumberman. They saved $3.50 Der
hundred posts by ordering them direct
from the mill
Many instances could be cited where
we save money by buying out of
town. But you say we should pat
ronlze our home town. Then why
can't we sell in our home town?
If farmer has car load of 20
tatocs or fruit he must hunt his own
market out of town." for wagon
load OF potatoes or apples will glut
the Caldwell market almost any time.
II farmer has beef animal a buyer
from Nampa will give him more for
it than one from Caldwell and still
restaurant in Nampa will give as much
tough becfstcak for twenty-five cents
as you get in Caldwell for the same
price.
1t is true that grain can be sold in
Caldwell but when the farmer has il
to sell the price is invariably low
and then it raises when the dealers
have purchased the bulk of grain in
the county. And yet, the farmers are
accused OF getting rich from the high
price of wheat.
Such examples of skinning the
farmer might be continued but it is
unnecessary because you all know how
it is done.
1t seems to me that the farmer
cares as much, or more, about what
becomes of the town as the merchant
cares about what becomes of the
farmer.
Who keeps up that town anyhow?
A READER.

COMBINE THE CATS AND
DOGS AS WELL AS PATIENTS
Smallpox Spread by Humble Compan-
ions of Children.

Complaint has reached The Tribune
that families who have been
quarantined on account of smallpox
and other diseases are not as careful
IN many respects as they should be.
For instance domestic pets such as
dogs and cats are admitted to the
house and afterwards permitted to
roam the neighborhood in search of
adventure and sustcntance, thus
spreading the disease. Families
quarantined should be held response
bic for the activities of all members
OF the family including the cat and
dog, Unless this is done the health
officers will probably fad it necessary
to kill the cat and dog as the first
preventative measure.

The hotel at Starkey Hot Springs,
health resort in the hills 70 miles
north of Weiser, was totally destroyed
by fire Monday night about 9 o'clock

defective flue and when discovered
the flames had gained such Roadway
that all efforts to save 1t were iutiie'

is stated that Senator Kaline of Win
