SUMMER SCHOOL
 IF TEN WEEKS

There has been some inquiry with regard to summer school Children seem anxious to continue their studies after tne regular school term closes. soEIe to make up back work others to work ahead a little There is this advantage in summer school work: The classe are small and the pupils get much individual attention. For five years up to q year ago, MT. D. F. Jantzen, now head of the English department of the Phoenix high school taught such summer school with th3 sanction of the superintendent and the board of education of the Phoenix grammar schools. Mr. Jant- zen announces that he will open a term of ten weeks in the Central school building on Monday May 22. Tor pupils of the sixth, seventh and eighth grades. All children of these grades who wish to take up the work will meet Me. Jantzen in room No. & of the Central school on Monday morning between 10 and F o'clock, to arrange for the work. If there should he any demand for pupils from grades below the sixth grade, application may be made to MT. JantZen during the same hours,

SPEEDING UP |s
 ONE BIG PROBLEM

In the race between sales and pro- duction, automobile manufacturers have been pushed to the very limit trying to hold up their end of things Speaking of this condition from the standpoint of what it has brought about, J. W. 'DeCou, factory manager of the Thomas B. Jeffery company of Kenosha, Wisconsin, had this to say in an interview:
 The problem of automobile manu- lecturers has been the devising of ways and means to speed up and multiply output. From the first we have looked to men of inventive gen jus in science and mechanics to help us, and at the present time some of the biggest minds in those fields are working on the problem. Already there have been developed many new types of wonder working machinery, the most recent being the spindle hydraulic boring mill.
 This truly is a wonderful device. At present there are but four of them in existence, two of which we have just installed in the Jeffery machine shops. They are the last word in mechanical efficiency, and it's a real experience to watch the big fellows in action-and to note the exquisite. de- pendable accuracy and finesse with which they work"

HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS WORTH OF
 ONERLANDS 1915-6

Few people outside of those familiar with the finances of a big automobile manufacturing concern like the Willys- Overland company, have any concep- tion of the enormous amount of money represented in the shipments of cars from the factory.
 They know in a general way that hundreds of cars are shipped from the Toledo plant every day but the mere mention of these figures is of little in terest to them
 But when the value of the shipments is given in cold dollars and cents it leaves no room for doubt as to the magnitude of the business.
 At the present time the average daily shipments of Overland and Willys- Knight cars from the plant are valued at $6l2,000 This has run as high as s778,000 in single day when the fac tory broke all records by shipping the greatest number of medium and popu- lar-priced cars ever made in twenty four hours
 Since April 21 1915, shipments val ued at s95,681,7S0 left the Overland factory. Although this amount is staggering and almost beyond the con- prehension of the average reader it represents but little over half of the estimated value of the shipments for the year 1916.

GOODYEAR PEOPLE | HAVE bLAzED TRAIL

Our constantly increasing output of pneumatic truck tires is one of the signs of the efforts truck manufactur- CTS are making to furnish the most ef- ficient tire equipment with their goods" says H. D. Roseland, branch manager of the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co.
 We are the pioneers in introducing big pneumatic tire for trucks and necessarily have had to blaze our own trail. At first real selling effort WIS required to introduce these big pneu- matics, but now that they have vindi- cated themselves, their sale has been greatly accelerated. The field for them IS developing rapidly. Nearly every manufacturer in the country now hon. DTS specifications for our big pneu- matics. Truck users and truck manu- fdcturers are more and more coming to appreciate the value of extra cush- ioning in deadening vibration. Some have been seeking relief by the use of dual pneumatics. that is, two tires on each rear wheel. And now large fleets are mounted on single pneumatic equipment. The single tire obviously does away with the difficulty of main taifing equal air pressure in duals.
 Not only are these big tires proving thelr worth by providing greater cush- ionlng and freedom from tire trouble. put they greatly reduce repair ex- pense, and increase the life of the truck. When we first introduced them their appeal was largely to truck own CTS hauling perishable or breakable goods but so apparent have been their advantages that trucks in all classes Of service are now using them"

MILITIA FLYING CORPS ORGANIZED

Asking the militia to do with pub lie subscriptions what the army and navy cannot do because the admin istration is disregarding the advice of the experts and is not asking for sui ficient appropriations to organize the air service in the army and navy, the Aero Club of America and other or ganizations cooperating, urged the heads of the militia of the AS states to make every effort to develop this branch of the service, so as to have some aeroplanes and trained men with which to meet an emergency.
 For over a week, recently, the na- tional guard of New York held a dis tinction of which the guard and the officials of the Aero Club of America and the contributors to the national aeroplane fund would feel proud, if it were not that the distinction comes from having two up-to-date brand new aeroplanes in commission in the guard, while the United tates army had to discontinue it's air service in Mexico because there was not a single aerorlane left for service.
 These two aeroplanes were two of | four machines purchased by the na- tional guard in the past month with funds contributed through tho na- tional aeroplane fund and direct by public spirited citizens. who realize i that as the army has been unable to organize and equip Q single aero squadron in the nine years that fol- lowed the issuing of the specifications for tie first army aeroplane. and Sec retary Baker has only asked for enough funds to organize and equip two aero squadrcns, it is up to the public to take hand and help or 1 eanize volunteer aero squadrons.

PETERSON AS HE IS.

An attempt was made little over
a year ago to ruin Attorney General
Peterson. The attempt was a miser-
able failure as everybody knew it
should be even unto the authors.
However, many of the former politi-
cal friends of the Attorney General
failed to stand by him, and some, I'M
doubtedly hoped, that the effort would
succeed. 1t seemed for a long time as
though the attacks coupled with the
desertion of men who should have
stood loyal had embittered General
Peterson to such an extent that he was
indifferent to many things that he
should have been interested in. We
do not believe that General Peterson
was indifferent but he had assumed
an. attitude that lead people to so
think.
Tuesday young man who had been
brought forward by Attorney General
Peterson an d given a splendid oppor-
tunity and much prestige by him
took great offence because Mr. Peter
son would not stand for an extrava,
CANT claim that this young man had
preferred against the state. The
young man and Mr.. Peterson were tc
have formed law partnership. and
of necessity the action Mr.. Peterson
took must have caused him more oil
less pain. Mr.. Peterson took tht
stand he took because his duty to the
state compelled him to do it.
We refer to this at this time simply
to call attention to the fact that Gen
eral Peterson is faithfully doing hi:
duty by the state of Idaho at no mat
ter what cost to himself He is alb
solutely faithful to his trust, ever
though warm personal friends are of
Tended thereby He has been faithful
right along and yet few men in pub
lie office in Idaho have been more bit
terly: and more ;ignorantiy attacked
than Mr.. Peterson.
A man of less conscientious scruple
would have sided with the young man
He could have justified himself Oh
the plea that splendid work had bee'
done and that the workman was en-
titled to his fee. Friendship and sci

Vegetable Man in Movies.

A funny little drama-funny to all
save the most interested party-was
enacted up near the court house last
Tuesday when the horse driven by the
Chinese vegetable man made dash
for liberty while John was driving a
bargain with back door purchaser.
With head up and harness away, the
Occidental steed, followed closely by
his Oriental owner, circled clear
around the Countys headquarters in
total disregard of keep offthe grass
signs, veered in sharply by the Jail,
lust missed tree and crossed a ditch
with flourish that spelled disaster to
the load of vegetables as well as to
the days profits. With trail of car
lots, tomatoes, red peppers and green,
and greens galore in his wake, the
frightened animal wound up in a near
by corn field and was taken in charge
by the sheriff, presumably for dis
turbing the peace.
Court house officials and employees
spilled out unceremoniously to watch
his new distributing system, num-
Der of kindly disposed men assisted
The suffering China boy in catching
ind tying the unruly steed to tele-
phone pole while he gathered up the
material for a special sale of his wares
1t is safe to assume that any court
house official who witnessed the per-
Torrance will be able to administer a
Chinese oath.

LINCOLN
(Henry Watterson in the Louisville
Courier Journal.)

(Henry Watterson in the Louisville
Courier-Journal)
In world of sin, disease and death
whose heartbeats vibrate between
| the twin mysteries of the cradle and
| the grave-the ideal seems unattain-
able, and least of all in government,
| the most imperfect of mundane insti-
tutions. Since the beginning of or
ganized society we have seen an ire
pressible conflict between the many
and the few, too often the few seek
| ing unfair advantage, the many pur-
suing the claims of right and the
phanthoms of hope to anarchism, even
to ruin and despair. History shows us
many mock heroes-not many real
heroes. The mass and body of men
| can never be sure. 1t is not given
them to see beneath the surface-to
look behind the screen-and thus in
advance to know the hidden aims, the
selfish motives, the defective person
alites. They need must take a deal
for granted. Yet have emergencies
found leaders who seem to have been
raised UP by the Almighty to certain
will ever hold foremost place, thus
al
to Washington.
Born as lowly as the Son of God. in
a howell; reared in penury, squalor,
with no CLEAN of light nor fair sur
roundings; without external graces,
actual or acquired: without name or
fame or official training; it was re-
served for this strange being, late in
life, to be snatehed from obscurity,
raised to supreme command at SUI
preme moment. and intrusted with the
destiny of nation.
! The great leaders Of his party, the
most experienced and accomplished
public men of the time, were made to
stand aside; were sent to the rear,
whilst this fantastic figure was led by
unseen hands to the front and given
the reins of power. 1t is immaterial
whether we were for him, or against
him; where he came from, whether
from the north or the south That
during four years, carrying with them
such a weight of responsibility as the
world never witnessed before, he
filled the vast space allotted him in
the eyes and actions of mankind, for
nowhere else could he have acquired
the wisdom and the virtue
! Where did the author of Shakes
peare's plays get his genius? From
whom did Mozart get his music
Whose hand smote the Tyre of the
Scottish plowman and stayed the life
of the German priest? God, God, and
God alone; and, as surely as these
were raised up by God, inspired by
God, was Abraham Lincoln; and a
thousand years hence no story. nc
tragedy, no epic poem will be filled
by mankind with deeper feeling, thar
that which tells the story of his life
and death.

PROMISES AND PROMISES.

The Reclamation Service insists that
promises made and implied by engi-
neers and other representatives of the
service are not binding and will no,
be taken into account. This position
is new. one for the service to as
sumo, and the records will show tina,
promises made have been taken into
account.
For instance Mr.. D. R. Hubbard
represented to the board of review and
appraisement that Mr.. D. w. Ross, a
former Reclamation Service engineer
had made certain promises to him
which were not kept, and that he, Hub
bard, had claim in equity against the
Reclamation Service. Mr.. Hubbard
felt that the purchase of the Hubbard
reservoir from him would just abou,
square the government. The purchase
was made. 1t was considered as q
reservoir at first but investigation
showed that it was worthless for res
ervoir purposes. 1t was then favor
ably considered as a spillway.
We cite this instance to show tina
the Reclamation Service has, at times
taken account of promises made b,
its representatives. 1t is no NOR
than right that the Service should b,

REPUBLICANS ORGANIZED
AND PREPARED.

The Republicans of Idaho are or
genized and prepared for the coming
campaign. They are in better spirits,
more united and more confident than
they have been in recent years. They
are going before the people with a
ticket that they are sure will appeal
to the voters of the state. There is
not cloud in the sky so far as Idaho
Republicanism is concerned.
The Democrats of Idaho are dis
cordant, hopeless and dispirited. The
faction that has been dominant in
party affairs for the past fifteen years
has been overthrowm. There is no
enthusiasm over the nominee for gov
ernor and very little over the other
nominees on the state ticket. The
record of Governor Alexander does
not produce confidence nor enthus-
iasm. In fact the Democrats seem to
realize that they are in losing fight
and are acting accordingly. Even
their nominee for the presidency fails
to arouse them. The battle cries of
too proud to fight" 81 kept out OF
the fight by running away" and
"watchful waiting with its attendant
evils are not the battle cries of a
dominant triumphant, forward-look-
ing Democracy.
So far as Idaho is concerned the
fight has been won. The Republican
party has occupied the advantageous
positions. The leaders are all at the
front in this campaign. The fight
from now on is to convert the defeat
into a rout. There is no doubt that
that will be done.
The campaign was started auspic-
ious1y at Boise Tuesday. The re-
election of Mr.. Evans as state chair
| man was very good beginning. The
work Mr.. Evans has started will be
carried on to a successful conclusion
The fight for a great victory in No
vember will be kept UP to the lasi
! minute. Mr. Gregory, the newly
elected secretary, has already shown
that he knows how a campaign should
be handled. His part of the work vii
be taken care of properly. The re-
| ,ention of Mr.. Elmer as publicity
manager was also very sensible
thing to do. The members of the state
committe are all experienced in the
| conduct of political campaigns. They
have pledged themselves to work fol
the state ticket until the votes are
cast. A number of Republicans lead
crs who have not been very active
during the past few years are now a
work theoretically and enthusiast
cally. If every state is in the con
dition that Idaho is in now, the cleo
ton of Hughes and Fairbanks is
foregone conclusion. Nothing Oh
earth can stop them, and Idaho
placed in the doubtful column by tn
democratic forecasters. We trust tina
other doubtful" states are just a
doubtful as this state.

OH THAT MINE ENEMY WOULD
WRITE A BOOK!

The New Freedom is book that
has been pulled on Mr.. Wilson on
more than one occasion. The publ
cation of the book should have been
postponed until after the administra-
ton was finished. On page 26 of his
book occurs this passage:
mot many months ago l stopped at
a little town in Nebraska, and while
my train fingered l met on the plat
form very engaging young fellow
dressed in overalls, who introduced
himself to me as the mayor of the
town, and added that he was Social
ist l said: What does that mean
Does it mean that this town is social
istic?' No SIR he said: 4 have not
deceived myself. The vote by which
| was elected was about 20 per cent
socialistic and 80 per cent protest
The vote which elected Mr.. Wilson
was materially augmented by Repub-
licans who were dissatisfied with the
government of their party. This vote
of protest together with the organiza.
ton of the third party resulted in Mr.
Wilson's election. Mr.. Wilson should
keep in mind that there will be no Re
publican vote of protest this year
and further, that there are but two
candidates in the field. And even 81,
and a quarter million votes Mr.. Viii
SON received in 1912 will not BIZ
enough to elect him in 1916.
