Lauds the Commissioners

The statement is made that the com
missioners of Latah county have q
reputation for efficient and economic
al management, and that owing to the
constant growth of the public service
the affairs OF the court house will
probably never cost less than they do
now But in order that this reputa-
ton may be sustained, any tendency
to growth in expenditure should be
closely scanned, declares his report
To this end, Mr. Defenbach urges
costs, the modern theory being that
economy can not be effected until
there has first been a thorough analy
sis to find out just where the leaks
are. He says you cannot successfully
treat a patient without knowing ex-
act1y where he is out of order. He
suggests that the expenses of each de-
partment be compared every quarter
with those of the same quarters of
years, any increase to be
fully explained by the official re-
sponsible, such explanation to be given
the greatest possible publicity through
the public press. Deserving officials,
he says, would welcome such a sys-
tenn, and there could be no valid OBJ
lection to it.

responsible for some of these in
creases. The probation officer system
has added to the cost of the probate
court, while the complicated require
ments of recent revenue laws and the
collection OF taxes by the treasurer
instead of by the assessor have in
creased the joint cost of those offices
by over 80 per cent.
Books in Fine Shape
1t is certified that the books are, as
a whole, in excellent condition. The
accountants work bring him most in
contact with the office of auditor, and
the report pays high compliment to
Mr.. Estes and the work Of his depart
ment.
In the great volume of figures dealt
with in the various offices there are of
course occasional errors of a clerical
nature, but they are trif1ing in amount
and not a single instance of dishon-
esty is found except in the unfort-
innate case of the recent assessor, Mr.
Martinson.
The third section of the report is
statistical, and discloses many inter
esting and in some cases surprising
facts. The total assessed value has
grown from $4,000, 100000 in 1907 to
$21, 00O,O 100000 in 1914. Total taxation
was $191,OO0.00 in 1907 gradually in
creasing until 1918, when both valua-
ton and taxation reached their max
imum, the taxes of 1918 totalling
1897, 100000. 1t fell to $33S,O00000 in
1914.

On the Growth of Taxes

AS an answer to the frequent queS-
ton ''Why do taxes grow, and who is
responsible?" he gives the case of a
man whose taxes were $4,000 in 1910
and the same amount in 1914, and
shows exactly what disposition was
made of the money.
1t appears that those departments
controlled in any degree by the COM
missioners cost 1888 in the former
year and only $2S42 in 1914 This in
cludes general road and bridge ex
penditures. State taxes in 1910 alb
sorbed $21.31 and in 1914, $14.44 On
the other hand, district road expend
lures have increased from 1901 to
$10.76 while the cost of public schools
has grown from S41.75 to $46.38.
The conclusions unavoidably drawn
from a clear understanding of this
comparison will doubtless surprise
many taxpayers. They are, that the
commissioners have never controlled
in the remotest degree over one-third
of our expenses and the proportion is
rapidly growing less and that the
greatest growth in expenditures is in
those matters most completely con-
trolled by the taxpayers themselves.

Public Schools Cost High

The rapidly increasing cost of pub
lie schools is suggested as problem
demanding consideration, and the idea
is advanced that normal schools and
teachers institutes might we'll devote
a portion of their work to consid-
Grafton of the vital question of cost.
All officials and repositories are
amply bonded in approved companies.
A reasonable amount of fire insurance
is carried on which the premiums
have been paid for in advance for two
or more years.

FRIENDS OF PLANT GROWERS
"Lady-Bues" Feed Upon Plant-Lice,
Scale insects and Other Pests
Entitled to Protection.
CBy w. E. BRITTOND

The beetles commonly known as
lady beetles. lady BIRDS "lady-bugs'
or plant-louse beetles, are among the
very best friends of the farmer or
plant grower, because they feed in
both larval and adult stages upon
plant-lice, scale-insects, and the small
larvae and eggs of other and larger
noxious insects. DR. S. A. Forbes ex-
amined the stomach contents of 80
specimens, and found that one-fourth
Of their food was composed of plant
lice; though they ate some vegetable
food, such as pollen and spores Of
fungi, greater portion of their food
consisted of insects.
Though many persons are more or
less familiar with lady-bugs, some are
not acquainted with their habits or
life histories, and do not. therefore

Psychology of Practice.

The question Of short versus long
periods Of practice in training the hui
man muscles for any particular kind
of work Is obviously ole having far
reaching application. Some interest
ing experiments on this subject have
been carried out by DR.. K. S. Lashley
Of Johns Hopkins university. Acquisi-
ton of skill In archery was selected
as the subject Of observation. Twenty
unframed persons were divided into
three groups. One group shot five
arrows with the English longbow per
day; another, twenty shots per day;
and the third, forty shots. The re-
suits showed conclusively that the
group shooting only five times a day
improved in accuracy with less ex-
penditure of time in practice than was
required by either of the other groups
for the same amount of improvement.
A report on the experiments says:
1.-THE relatively greater efficiency of
short periods of practice continuing
for many days is in accordance with
the results Of the study of animals
and of speech habits in man, and in
dicates that in training to muscular
feats. in both animals and men, the
length of practice periods required is
usually too great for maximum ef-
fciency. "-Scientific American.

Small Chance of Charles Abner For

months later they we're seated in their
cozy little den, Ellen Estelle reading
a popular novel and Charles Abner
looking over the sporting page.

the little wife, do you recall the time
you proposed to me?"
why, yes" rather indifferently an
swered Charles Abner, Il think re-
member it.
of course, you do" returned Ellen
Estelle. 1T was in an automobile. I
shall never forget the lovely words
you spoke, and the noble sacrifices
you promised to make. 1t must have
cost you something to say those
things"

WAY OF CLEANING THE CHURN
First Rinse With Cold Water to Re-
move ButtermIk, Salt, Etc, Then
ScaId Thoroughly.

When ready to clean, first rinse the
chuTn with cold water to remove all
buttermilk, salt, etc.; then partially
fill the churn with boiling water, put
on the lid and fasten loosely so that
the steam can escape, withdraw the
draining plug and whirl the churn.
The pressure on the inside caused
by the creation of steam from the hot
water will force water into every
crevice of the churn. After few rev.
buttons, draw off the water and put
In another lot, boiling hot, and re-
peat the whirling. Draw off the wa
ter again, let the churn stand a few
minutes so it will drain, then turn the
opening up and let it dry.
An occasional rinsing out with lime
water will help to keep churn sweet.
All other dairy utensils should be
rinsed, scalded and dried with the
same care. Then keep inverted in a
clean place, or exposed to the sun,
where no dirt can be blown into them,
with fly netting over the top.
