Dr.. Mckesver Praises Hays Schools.

Dr. w. A. McKeever, child welfare
expert and educational lecturer who
gave a series of lectures at the Normal
last week, spent one forenoon inspect
ing the City schools In an interview
with a member of the Board of Educa-
ton, commended very highly the work
of the schools.
In all my extensive travels" said
Mr.. McKeever, 81 have found no town
the size of Hays, that has as up-to-
date system of schools. Only the lack
of good building prevents Hays chill
dren from having as good school ad-
vantages as those of any city in the
state regardless the size.
Hays has a rare opportunity in an
educational way and should make the
the most of it. -

SOME PUMPKINS"

Mr.. F. R. Ode, who lives a few
miles southeast of Nampa, has a ha-
bit of planting a small patch of pump
kins for use as succulent feed for
his dairy cows in early fall before he
opens his silo. A visit was made to
Mr.. Ode's ranch recently and the
field of pumpkins aroused curiosity
as to the acre yield. 1t was suggest
ed that part of the field be measur-
ed and the pumpkins from this part
weighed, which was done. Accord
ing to Mr.. Ode's report, the patch
measured yielded at the rate of lust
rs pounds less than so tons per acre,
or 40 tons, 1925 pounds. This com
pares quite favorably with the yield
OF AZ tons per acre of stock beets re-
ported by J. S. Hurlburt of Nampa.
Analysis of pumpkins show them
to be little lower than corn silage
and a little higher than mangles in
feeding value.
The above facts and figures sug-
gest the possible value of pumpkins
as succulent fall feed. They are
more easily and cheaply grown and
harvested than corn silage or mangles
while yielding as much feed value
per acre as either of these crops, or
possibly more. On the other hand,
pumpkins are more difficult and ex
pensive to store than silage or beets
as they require so much more space
for an equal weight of feed on ac-
count of their hollow centers, but
for use during the fall before freez-
ing weather sets in they may be left
in the field or piled in a convenient
place where they are to be fed, re-
curing no storage at all.
Other reports of yields of pumpkins
would be appreciated by this Office.

day from Occur d'Alene. where he
had been for ten days holding a term
of court for Judge Dunn, who was
disqualified from setting on several
cases. This was the first visit Judge
Bryan had ever made to that section
of Idaho. He states that while he
had heard and read of the splendid
scenery of the Occur d'Alenes he was
surprised at its magni6cience. The
lakes, rivers and mountains are splen-

Judge Bryan is fully convinced that
there should be better means of COM

of the state in order that the people
might see each other and do business
together with greater ease and com
fort. He is inclined to think that a
wagon road is more practical than a
railroad at the present time.

Thus far the predictions of those
who prophesied a violent reaction in
Stock Exchange securities have not
been verified. 1t is true that the pub
lie interest has, to considerable de-
gree, been diverted from the spectac-
ular war stocks to the standard rails
and industrials, but this diversion has
in no way operated to the detriment
of the "war bonds" which seem to be
entirely capable of maintaining their
standing and even of advancing on
slight support,
On the other hand as a more steady
and healthy demand has been devel-
oped for the railroad shares, a grad
ual but consistent increase in current
quotations has been the most ettec-
tive evidence of the return of more
normal and more desirable conditions
in the speculative markets. The fol
lowing table, showing the comparison
of present prices of standard rails
and industrials with those of the first
week in the month, will illustrate the
tendencies in this respect:

Financial Features.

According to reliable reports from
the industrial centers, the improve
ntnt in domestic trade during th2
PAST five weeks has been more rapid
than during any similar period thi,
year. Even building operations show
a tendency to pick MP materially.
Railroad reports for the year end
ing June 80 show that the number of
idle cars is being rapidly reduced; that
labor conditions have satisfactorily
improved, and that net earnings are
decisively on the upturn, while ex-
penses have been reduced. Further
more, the reports are encouraging in
view of the great promise which they
hold out for the future, which feature
viii strongly commend them to the
conservative investor. This is par
ticularly true of the New Haven sys-
tenn, which for the past three years
has been earnestly striving to extric-
ate itself from the financial difficulties
brought on by the unwise policies of
former directors. The New Haven's
gross revenue, aided by the increased
rate allowances, heavy business due
to, the munitions trade and generally
improved local trade conditions, is
most encouraging for those who have
anxiously awaited such a period. -,
1t is also to be noted that the ex-
press companies are at present trans
acting a larger business than at any
time since the outbreak of the war.
Evidence of this may be found in the
substantial increase in profits of the
nine pricipal companies for June con
tanned in the report made public by
the Interstate Commerce Commission
this week From a deficit of $264,-
1877 in June, 1914, the net revenues of
the companies increased TO a gain of
$500, SIS for June, 1915. The total
revenues for June 1915, were $7,O48,-
0S4, as compared with $6,357,034 in
June, 1914. The expenses aggregated
$6,05l 500, as compared with $6,621.-
85l for the same month of the preced-
ing year. The operating income this
year for June was $850,083, and for
June, 1914, a deficit was shown of
sal ,59l. For the twelve months
ended with June, these companies
earned $5.450,247 and expended ST.
495, 500. The net operating income
was $3,o56,58l.
The steel industry is now operating
at practically one hundred per cent
capacity, home and domestic demand
for steel products having expanded
to an unexpected extent, while the
September production of pig iron
nearly 100000 tons-was the largest
in the history OF the industry. In
creased orders are coming from the
railroads for rails as we'll as for gen
eral equipment, while automobile
manufacturers are calling for larger
