Washington, Dec. l0-A new wea-
pom for fighting the high cost of liv-
ing is recommended by Representative
Bacharach of New Jersey. II is a
2h-cent piece and Mr. .Bacharach says
it will save the people millions year.
He is so impressed with the idea that
he introduced bill in the House today
providing for it. Officials of the mint
favor the new coin ut often happens
stores charge full cent to make
even change when a fractional coin
would make the exact amount. 1t is
in this saving of the half cents that
the big advantage would come, and
I'm sure that it would mean millions
year when the whole country is con-
sidered."

600 head. The market was in general
firm with a large demand from but
cheers who bought freely. Call from
packers was light. Prices on the best
grades are steady to 25c higher, while

common quality, sold steady with slow
demand.
Beef Steers.
The best loads of steers sold read
ilv at steady to 25c higher One load
of prime steers brought $7.25. The
quality of the beef steers as was the
case last week was very poor, fair to
good grades brought $3.50 to $6.75.
Hogs.
Mondays run was good deal light
er than a week ago, although it was
good sized total of 1000 head. Prices
were on about the same basis as last
week, although some sales made in
the later trading looked 5 to 10c high
err. The market was not very active
at the opening but after the first few
loads started through the scales buy
ers got busy and an active market
continued throughout the day. A
number of loads brought 1910 and So

Sound Doctrine.

The Nampa Record prints the fol-
lowing on the coal situation:
'The Socialist party might very
properly abandon it's organization for
a time and leave its propaganda in
the hands of the coal mine owners, the
meat trust and kindred corporations.
This select bunch of public plunderers
will increase the ranks of the Social
list party faster than could Marx and
all the brilliant coterie of essayists
hope to do working in unison. When
we remember only few years ago all
the coal was owned by the government
and that title to it was secured by the
plunderbund at price bearing no re-
lation to its value; when we remember
that this unnatural and unfair advan-
tage secured under the law is now
used to grind the last dollar from the
hapless consumer, we are constrained
TO admit that the law was wrong in
principle. We are buying back what
was our own and are paying an enor-
nous price. The Socialist doctrine
would never have allowed the govern
ment to part with its title, but would
have had the government furnishing
coal at actual cost of production to
all consumers. The query, whittier
are we drifting" is opportune at this
time"

HIGH SCHOOL
By Harold Hayl0r.

Basketball practice started Monday
night after school with large turn
out. Willis Harrell has been secured
to coach the team and under his care
full tutoragc a strong team is expect
ed. The f. p. C. hall is being used,
as no other building proved favorable.
The first school annual to be pub
lished will be edited this year The
work is in the hands of the Senior
class, but the staff was chosen from
the school at large. Work started at
once and If everyone does his duty
the first effort will be success.
The long-looked for shower bath is
now being installed. A room on the
third floor is being partitioned off for
a dressing room, in one end of which
will be three showers. The necessary
funds for carrying on the work will
be raised by subscription, and every
contribution will help.
The Senior class decided Monday
upon the class ring or pin and upon
the commencement cards. Both de-
signs are very attractive and neat.
Raymond Bowers is in school again
after a weeks absence, caused by his |
broken collar bone. This was the only
accident this year during the football
season.
The Literary club held its first pa
irons program last Friday evening in
the high school auditorium. A short
business meeting preceded the pro-
gram, which was as follows:

Helen Love-
Vocal solo-John Carnage.
Song-Girls Glee Club
Song-Boy's Glee Club.
The football season closed with a
small surplus in the treasury, but it
is such small amount the boys have
MT found any use for it as yet.

THE ToRRENs SYSTEM
Next Administration Pledged to Adopt
New Abstracting Plan.

The Democratic members Of the
next legislature are pledged to adopt
the Torrens system Of abstracting, a
system that will reduce the cost of
abstracts from $50 or more dollars
each to a tenth of that amount.
Under the Torrens system the title
to land is certified to by the county
clerk of each county. In other words,
the government itself guarantees the
title of land instead of an abstract
company. The plan is in general use
in Australia, British Columbia and
quite number of the states in this
country.
