THE GIRLS JOB
BY JESSIE ROBERTS.

Dear Miss Roberts have read
great deal OF your good advice,
and wonder II you could help me
with some suggestions.
Il have had come difficulty In OBJ
tanning first class bookkeeping po-
sition. and decided TO take a course
in higher accounting. I have now
finished the course, but the difficult
~ that confronts me is that this
field does not seem IS open 10 wo-
men as ITO men.
Now, how EN- l 10 get the right
sort OF publicity? How can in
spire confidence in my ability? What
want to do is to specialize in work
for the smaller concerns. or for in
diyiduals, educating these 10 the
benefit Of systematic and correct
method in their business.
Can you give me an early reply
in the paper, and oblige.
~. L. G."
I can only advise perseverance,.
There is no way of inspiring conf
dence in people unless you can show
them what you do. II Is the chance
TO show that you want, and beyond
answering advertisements, advertis-
ing yourself, and going personally
TO interview any one who might en-
ploy you. know nothing that you
can do. There are. unluckily, a grea,
many seeking just such positions,
and certainly the road Of the book
keeper and accountant is hard at
present Az you have found, men
are preferred In this work.
Nevertheless. your idea OF trying
for a position with an individual or
small business is good. You would
rot get big salary but you might
get an interesting opening. and,
once you could point TO accomplish.
ed work. there would be better
chance of something more import
ant. Study the trade papers and
run an advertisement in one or
two Of these, telling just what you
want 10 do and can do. And don't
give up too quickly. When you go
to see anyone, try 70 find out what
he wants OF you, and prove to him
that you can give It him.

THE COMMUNITY MIRROR

The best way to form an impress
sion of a neighboring city is to look
at it's newspapers. If these journals
are poorly printed and sloppily writ
ten and If there is little advertising.
the community is run down. II the
newspapers have clean typographi-
cal appearance and show the eIpendi-
ture OF money for good reporting and
writing, II the advertising columns
are we'll filled. that community is go
ing ahead.
People who may consider a given
town as a place of residence send for
copies of its newspapers, first TO sec
what is going on there; second. to
learn how much public spirit the
town has. The residents are contin-
ually sending away the home paper
and in so far as 1t is a good appearing
journal il makes friends for the town
and spreads its good reputation.
Newspaper publishers are gener-
GUS with any growth OF business they
may gain. Nine-tenths OF such growth
is almost always put back into the
paper. in enlarging plant and in
creasing the force OF workers. The
moral is that II you want a good i'm
preston OF your town spread abroad,
help the home paper to enlarge and
improve it's facilities.-Herald-R

Some Astonishing Figures.

We are in receipt of a copy of the
annual report of the American Tele-
phone Telegraph Co which has
just been made TO the stockholders,
and which contains some most aston
ishing figures. Space would not per-
nit US to even give an intelligent
synopsis OF this report. In looking
over some of the tables. however, We
find that the company have l7.475,-
594 miles OF wires which are connect
ed with s.64s,993 telephone stations.
The earnings OF the company last
year were S46,196.59S
Accompanying the report is a let

dent OF the company. in which he out
lines the workings OF this stupendous
company in as brief manner as pos
sible. Referring TO conditions the

Must Render "A Statement.

Under the new Federal Reserve
act banks are compelled to use more
caution in making loans. according
to a recent order sent out by the man
aging board of the reserve banks.
Under this order IL is necessary for
the applicant for a loan to render
fun and complete statement to the
bank of his resources and liabilities,
upon blanks furnished for that pur-
pose. and which are subject to the
approval OF the bank examiner
Heretofore ii was only necessary
for the applicant to satisfy the bank
in "A general way that his resources
were sufficient to Justify the loan. but
under the new ruling the written
statement must be ffed. This order
was undoubtedly promulgated to pro-
tect the conservative banks against
of making promiscuous loans upon
poor security. and II is thought will
prove a great benefit not only to the
banks but to the depositors who have
intrusted their savings TO these insti-
tutions.
No matter how small the loan, the
banks are compelled to exact this
statement or suffer the penalties at
tached for its non compliance. Sc
hereafter. If you want to obtain q
loan from either of the banks here
you must be prepared to make a de
tailed statement under oath OF your
resources and liabilities.

For Relief OF the Settlers.

Representative Smith of Idaho has
conferred with the first assistant sec
retary of the interior, the attorney
general and other department officials
with reference TO the enactment of
legislation which will allow the recla-
nation OF land. without residence. by
cultivation by the dry farm methods
where it is impossible to secure water
for irrigation purposes. Mr.. Smith
represented that there are hundreds
of thousands OF acres on the hills and
mountain sides in southern Idaho
above the water line which could be
profitably cultivated but upon which
homes could not be established be-
cause water cannot be procured for
domestic purposes by sinking wells
He contends that while the country is
threatened with a shortage in the
wheat supply, and with -four at IS
a barrel, that ii is the duty of con-
gress to make the land laws more
liberal in order that those who are
willing to spend their money I'm the
|
an opportunity of doing so and Sc
cure title without residence, and that
If such law were enacted employ
ment would be given to thousands of
people and result in the production
of hundreds of thousands of bushels
of wheat on land which otherwise
would always remain idle.
Under the present regulations the
department insists that this dry land
shall not be designated for entry un-
der the non-residence provision of
the law If water can be secured at a
depth of $50 feet. Mr.. Smith has en-
deavored to show that this rigid re-
quirement has discouraged thousands
OF people from applying for the land
as wells of that depth would cost
from $500 to $1,000 each. which is
frequently the entire capital available
and that this investment should be
used In cultivating the ground. buy
ing seed, etc, instead of incurring
the expense and risk OF finding wa
ter.

1t is evident that the tax payers of
the Independent school district of
Rupert feel that the schools are be-
ng conducted on too high plane and
at too great a cost to the public. This
is shown by the following petition
which was presented TO the directors
at their meeting last week and which
they have promised TO take under ad-
visement:
Rupert, Idaho, Feb. IL, 1915.
To the Honorable Board of Directors
for Independent School District No
One. Minidoka County, Idaho:
We, the undersigned. residents and
taxpayers within said Independent
School District No. l, do hereby re-
spectfully represent and show to
your honorable body:
/. That the Special School Tax for
said Independent School District No
! for the year 1914 was 81 on each
500 of valuation.
2. That We believe said tax is un.
reasonable. too high and too great 6
burden on the taxpayers.
g. That we believe it is possible
for the Board to conduct the schoo
in a more economical manner anc
with a view of lowering the present
high rate of tax. and TO this enc
we suggest that for the present yol
do drop from the high school cours,
the departments of Domestic Science
Manual Training, Music and Drawini
as many languages as possible, an(
that all other departments that ar
not absolutely necessary be droppe,
until such time as the district is f
nancially able TO indulge itself II

The Creamery Question.

Occasionally we hear OF some talk
about creamery being established
here. but for some reason the mat
ter has thus far always ended in talk.
We do not pretend to be authority on
this creamery proposition. but 1t
cows enough to warrant the estab
lishment of Il creamery at this point.
According to reliable statistics as
gathered by representatives OF the
company, and published in the Times
Feb. 18th. the Jerome district alone
is credited with 804 COWS, which is
considered ample to successfully ope-
rate creamery. Added to this is
the number OF milch COWS in the
Wendell district which is reported as
SO7. together with 600 head which
is credited to the First segregation.
making "A total OF 224l head of milch
cows which are now on the tract and
within distance to make II profit
able TO ship the cream to a central
point
Our attention has been called TO
this creamery proposition at this
time by report of the Caldwell CO.
operative creamery which was cstab-
lished only last October. and in which
Il report from there states that the
creamery made little over 1000
pounds of butter the first month.
Last month. says the report. IT made
about 2S. 900 pounds of butter From
present indications this creamery this
month will distribute among its pat
rons fully $4,000. or at the rate OF
s96 900 per year.
This institution is now receiving
milk from about 900 cows 1t is now
aiding its patrons in securing calve,
at very reasonable prices from coas
points where cheese factories anC
creameries operate.
Another encouraging feature o
the report is the fact that the Idaho
butter commanded the top price OF
the coast markets This is we'll illus
