SCHOOL BOARD HAS GREAT PROBLEM TO
 FACE THIS SEASON
Sacrifice of Education to War renite Causes Members to
 Begin Worrying.

We are facing the greatest problem we have ever been called on to face in the public schools declared Presi-
 election as president of the board of | education last night. Then President Ravens explained that during Septem- Der HOO new pupils had applied for admission to the public schools, an unprecedented number The present administration so manipulated things before the board of apportionment at its meeting in January that the usual one mill tax for new school buildings was cut in half.
 President Ravens said that rigid economy will have~-to be observed in l every department of the board of edu- cation to get through the year within the appropriation granted. pr. George ". Osborn. senior Dem ocratic member of the board, was chosen vice president. Df. c. C. God- frey and Harry H. DeLoss, two mem bers elected to the board on the Citi- zens' ticket; were named members of the finance committee. Comrnis- sioner Boardman, who was reelected secretary, was named chairman of this committee.
 Commissioners Challenger, Bell and
 Osborn were named on the committee on school houses,
 The salary of Alfred E. Eagen,
 clerk of the board, was raised from
 $1,400 to $1,So0, and John A. Kin, scella was given raise from s1,0o0 to $2,000 The salary of David Gi- nand, former agent of the board, and now employed as special agent, was cut from $1,5O0 to $750: MT. Ginand has been in the service of the board for more than 20 years. He Is ad-, vanced in years. He does not give all his time to service of the board, hence the reduction in salary.
 Commissioner DeLoss was defeated for naemb ership on the committee on schools. He was named by pr. God frey. Commissioner Goddard at tempted to withdraw in his favcr but was urged to stand by other members of the board. being told that the ap- pointment to his committee was gen. erally by seniority of membership on the board.
 He finally consented to allow his. name to stand and was elected. MT. DeLoss received only two votes.
 Supt. s1awsou reported the small est number of pupils at the nigh+ schools that has beenl recorded in 10 years. There are only 261 pupils in the three schools that are open. Of these 107 are at the High school. where five teachers are instructing in teachers are instructing 92 pupils in the Franklin school and two teachers are instructing 52 pupils jn the Whit tier school.

DIVORCE QUESTION
 THEME OF GRIPPING
 PLAY AT TIE LYRIC
Miss Spooner's Performance Is Seconded by Well Chosen
 Cast.

Vital in its message, clear in it's denunciation and strong in every scene of it's three acts. 'tThe Divorce Question which Miss Cecil Spooner's 8 stock company is giving this week at the Lyric theatre, held with an i'm tense grip the huge audience which witnessed the opening perforrnance last evening. The story is a remark ably dramatic ones demonstrating the children of divorcees are the suffer sers. Two achiIdren of a couple have been divorced and. who have both married others, have been neglected and sunk low in the social scale.
 The dramatic revelation of their wealthy parents. the Inability of the
 mother and father to take the chiI- dren into either of their homes be- cause of their sons and daughters by the other marriages, the death of the girl and the arrest of the boy, a dope hend, for having killed man, who was attempting to harm the girl. and the sons denunciation of his pa rents. form a series of dramatic epis- odest Standing out above all in the play is the figure of Father Jerome who is kind to the children as he is bitter in his accusations of their pa rents. f,Fhe Divorce Question is a play which does not fail to drive home it's lesson to everyone who views it.
 DeSp1Le the Ser1OuS purpose Ofr the play there is much comedy to relieve it's intenser parts, and many a laugh followed several of the scenes last evening.
 Miss Spooner has the part of the girl. Mamie in which she does some of the finest acting that she has yet given Bridgeport. The strong, serious part of Father Jerome is portrayed with much understanding and sym pathy by Pell Trenton. Robert Law renee as Herbert Lockwood and Beu- lah Monroe as Mrs. Rodger Manners, his former wife. accomplish some well finished dramatic work in gthose heavy parts. Philip Leigh is Exceptionally worthy of praise for his realistic DOT trayal of 4'Dopie'' Doe, the son. Dar- rel Vinton is Eugene Lawrence and Edward Davidson, as George Roddy. As Harold KntckeIbosh, Frederick Clayton has another of those unusual comedy parts with which he has made Spoonef audiences laugh many time. Muriel Valentine has the part of Catherine Spalding, another comedy role and Reta Villera as Mary Ske1ly. the good natured Irish housekeeper. produces a litter of laughter every time that she walks across the stage

WEST HUNTING COWS.

The cattlemen of the Rocky mountain
section are all getting back into the
breeding game as rapidly as possible
The demand for breeding stock is far
In excess Of the supply. and many
western cattlemen are looking forward
to the annual National Western Stock
Show, which opens in Denver on jan
uary nth. expecting to be able to pur-
chase choice breeding stock during
that week. One of the features OF
this show is an exhibition OF heifers
and bulls In carloads. At the last show
there were over two hundred cars Of
choice heifers on exhibition, all Of
which sold. At the coming show 1t is
expected there viii be more than double
that number, and with the present de-
mand an active trade is expected

BRYAN SLIPPED ONE OVER.

w. ]. Bryan received $500 for that
speech he delivered In San Francisco
the other day. and thereby hangs q
tale. The fair management wanted a
big government official to deliver the
Fourth OF July talk and picked w. j.
Bryan. not because he was Bryan, but
because he was secretary of state.
Bryan held the invitation until after
he resigned from the cabinet and then
promptly wired his acceptance. Then
the men In charge of the fair did not
want him. but what could they do?
They were afraid Bryan would queer
them with the administration and EN-
barrass them in various ways because
Of the views he held.
They finally laid the matter before
President Wilson. He thanked them for
their consideration and told them he
would be highly pleased to have Mr..
Bryan deliver the speech. Bryan did
and he carried away the $500 without
seeming to realize that 1t belonged to
the secretary of state.--Iaaho Review.

THE INSIDE LOOKING OUT.

l.. A. Wisener, who edits the Grange
Vile postoffice at the rate OF about
$4,000 year and at odd times writes
Democratic dope for the Idaho County
Free Press, Is feeling his oats Listen
to this:
"To those lame ducks and out-at-
thickness and down-and-out politicians
who at present are officeless and job
less, 1t would not be amiss to call at
tention to the splendid crop prospects
and the opportunity to obtain employ
ment In the harvest fields at an early
future date The period of unemploy-
ment and profitless waiting for rein
statement may be materially decreas-
ed to a pecuniary benefit If the same
gentlemen are not averse to honest
toll"
That's rubbing 1t In ali right Think
how that must sound to the poor fell
lows on the outside looking in coming
from the swelled-up chap on the in
side looking outl--Idaho Review.
