4 IL adult New Workers not yet

alma mater Immediately and
At small cost. This educational inno-
walton has been made possible by the
decision Of the College of the City of
New York to register students in vo-
cational and certain other courses
without requiring OF them the general
entrance qualifications. The waiver
embr aces in It's benefits the entire pop
ulation OF New York city over u years
OF age. and takes effect with the be-
ginning Of this present fall term. In
lieu OF the qualifications hitherto de-
manded as preliminary to enrolment,
nominal tuition fee Is asked, a fee so
small that it may he loft out Of the
reckoning.
1t Is estimated that there are above
quarter OF a million residents of New
York who are ambitious of securing II
college training, but who have been
debarred from academic benefits
through rigid registration require
ments or the prohibitive cost Of the
curriculum. To reduce tuition fees, but
still retain the old Greek. Latin and

not better the situation. Thousands
might easily meet the expense who
could not qualify for matr:culation.

4 CAMPAIGN OF INFORMATION

The Standrod bank has sent out a
letter to its depositors in which they
speak of the ability of the individual
to achieve success when there Is pri-
yilege or opportunity, and they fore
cast both privilege and opportunity
as confronting us today. Pluck, OPP
timism and perseverance" the letter
says, win for the individual and
every day has it's opportunities. This
is the age of cooperation in it's full
est sense"
We want to see the people of this
county cooperate to increase the
crop yield dollar an acre, and there
is willingness ON the part OF the
banks to finance the dry farmers this
year to an extent that has not been
done before. The dry farmer who
has a stand of winter wheat in the
spring can get consideration for a
loan on it, and this in many instances
will save the necessity of the settler
going away to work for wages during
the spring and summer.

BETTER HOMES DEPARTMENT
The Republican Pays 81 Each Week for an Idea
on What You Have Planned to Increase
Your Crop Yield or Make Home More
Beautiful---City Lot or Farm

THAT I'd give my ideas on plans
to make the home more beautiful as
well as more productive and altho
my efforts last season met with COM
plete failure, expect to try harder
this coming spring.
Last season, while my husband
was building the log cabin on our
dry farm near the Blackfoot dam, |
layed off a grass plot 25x30 feet,
thoroly pulverized the seed bed and
planted white clover seed. planted
rose bushes two feet apart along
three sides, then between the rose
bushes | planted Corn Lilies, Rob
bin Grass, King Williams, Star Of
Bethlehem, Buttercups and White
and Purple Flags.
Along the south, east and north
sides of the grass plot ] planted rows
of flower seeds. On the east were
Pansies, on the north Marigolds and
on the south, Bachelor Buttons.
Then L planted my garden east of
the .pansy bed and on the north /
planted two raspberry bushes, but
/ did not plant anything south OF
the plot except flowers, then, between
the grass and the house we made a
three foot walk.
1.-THE grass came up and looked
fine, the flower seed did the same,
also the garden seed and the bushes
all looked like they would grow, but
THE chickens took every spear of
grass and with the groundhogs help
scratched every pea, raidish, turnip,
carrot and cabbage out of the ground
before they had hardly got their first
leaves. The bushes seemed to be the
only thing we would be able to keep
growing.
I'm about month we found a lost
puppy and as we did not have dog
brought it hons. The first thing
knew I did. not have raspberry,
gooseberry, currant or rose bush in
the ground, and I'll not say anything
about woman's failing-but this
year I'm going to lay out the same
kind of garden, grass plot and then
have the help of chicken tight
fence, and keep some rough-on-rats
and a 20 rifle and now I'll ring off
until next fall, and if I'm more sue
cessful you may hear from me.

SHALL BINGHAM COUNTY
BUY THE FAIRGROUNDS
Emphatically, yes. Positively, No!

Emphat1Cally, yes! fOSlClvoly, NO!
Money is no object to the citizens
of this county and the commissioners
should buy the fairgrounds.
The public at large are not inter-
ested in the fairgrounds or what be-
comes of them and if the commission
ers buy, the commissioners will prob
ably have to run the fair alone and
a slim fair it will be.
The reason why we know that
money is no object to the Bing-
hamese is that The Idaho Republican
offers five dollars letter for the four
best letters on the subject of what
to do with the fairgrounds, and after
the first five dollars had been paid,
only three persons showed enough
interest to write about it, and in our
original announcement we stated that
in order to constitute contest we
would require that there be five let
tiers in competition the first week,
ten the second week, fifteen the third
and twenty the fourth. Last week
we. had six, and we gave the prize
money to two of them. We saved
the other four letters for this week,
and received only three more, making
seven in competition. We will hold
them all until there are ten, and then
we will give the second prize, and
hold nine for the next week, and ii
there are Is by that tina we will
give the third prize. 1t was a dis
Greet provision of the publisher to
require that many letters in compti-
ton, for otherwise, four people writ
ing on the question would have car
ried off the $40 and there would have
been no general public discussion of
the subject.
Whenever the public take enough
interest in public affairs to write
plain statements of what they think,
the publisher of The Idaho Republic
can will hand the gold to those giving
the best reasons for buying or not
buying the fairgrounds. In order to
get a popular vote on the question,
a voting coupon is published in The
Republican each week, and out of
$500 already delivered to the public,
only six have been returned. Chris
tian Anderson, voting yes; J. Law
renee Nielsen, yes; E. A. Grover, no;
Mrs. Martha Alfred, yes; P. H. ALI
red, yes; Lovina Grover, no. We have
letters by J. L. Nielsen, for; M. Kin
ney, for; Arnold Crystal, for; Maria
Johnson, for; Mrs. s. E. Roundy, for;
e. D. Hale, for; P. H. Alfred, for.
This makes a total of IL people in
the county who are interested in a
matter of public Importance after an
agitation of two weeks and with sub
stantial rewards Tor the pest opinions
offered.
This revives that old question, as
old as the nation, whether or not the
people are fit to govern themselves.
If they take as little interest in maxi
ing the fair success as they do in
deciding whether to buy 1t or not,
it would be very sorry as well as
very expensive fair. If any one
hesitates about sending in letters for
the reason that they are poor writer's
they are assured that the writing
does not matter, it is the ideas that
count, and publishers generally help
writer with those things he is
lame on.

STATE TREAsURER's REPORT

The annual report Of State Treas
urer J. w. Eagleson for the year
1915 shows saving of $54, 69O.23,
as compared with the first year of
Governor Haines' administration. AS
number of different persons will
probably claim credit for this during
the campaign, those interested in fol-
lowing items Of which the saving is
composed
Office Economy
The amount expended in the treas
urer's office for salaries and other ex-
l.enses for the year 1918 was $9,512.-
43, and for the first year Of my term
was $8,931CS, showing saving of
$581.35. During the year we had
called and paid $353,500.00 Of our
bonded indebtedness. AS these bonds
were not due the saving in the
amount of interest the state would
have to pay as against the amount
of interest the money would earn,
amounts to $16,525. We have paid
no exchange on the payment of our
bonds and interest coupons this year,
which ii figured at the rate the state
has been paying in the past would
show $1,142.88 saved.
saving of 100000 interest on the
state highway bonds together with
the cost of printing the bonds of
$500 or total saving account of
highway bonds of $4,000. Senator
Rockwell of Blaine county assisted
very materially in this saving and is
deserving of great deal of credit
for it.
Saving on Warrants
We have saved over $4,000 inter-
/ est on warrants during the year by
changing the usual custom of hand
ling the warrants and by reason of
this change we have been able to
run the year through without regis
tering a single warrant, something
believe was never done before in the
history of the state.
| We have $50 banks in the state
as repositories for state monies and
we have collected total of $45,939.-
Sc interest for the year as against
$38,375.29 for 1918, showing an in
creased earning of $7,564.57.
| AS CuSLOuldU VI Llc CdplIOi Uuilu-
ing and grounds, there has been ex-
pended $21,893.61 as against $685.

Deputy Blockaded

Chief Deputy Thorpe is showed in
near New Meadows, where he went
a short time ago to look after herd
of elk. He managed to get word to
the department that he was doing
everything possible to keep the ami
mails in food, altho it is difficult
matter, with seven feet of snow on
the ground.
Elk in Bonneville and Fremount
counties will also have to be fed and
two men have been sent there to
break trails and furnish food. War
den Jones says this has been the
hardest winter on game in several
years.

LAST WEEK S STORM

Feathered- and fur bearing game
throughout the state are suffering
for want of food owing to the ex-
tremely heavy snow fall, according
to reports received by State Fish and
Game Warden Jones, altho active
steps are being taken by the depart
ment to relieved their sufferings.
Word has been received from a
deputy at Lewiston that quail and
China pheasants in that vicinity are
unable to get food for themselves,
and the department has authorized
an expenditure Of $50 to provide feed
for them. The Lewiston Sportmen's
club has also taken the matter in
hand and the members will do every
thing possible to aid in keeping the
birds alive.
