ONE WAY TO A MIRACLE.-The
state publication of school text books
has been undertaken by Kansas. The
legislature of that state has apprO-
priated a quarter of a million dollars
to establish a textbook plant This
is to be the extent of the taxpayers
investment. Books will be distrib-
uted at a profit sufficient to cover
depreciation, replacement and an in
terest of 4 per cent on the invest
ment
The cost of the publication of the
state school books is not expected to
be much less than that of publishing
houses. But Kansas intends to save
it's citizens from paying the big prof
its made by the book concerns. 1t
does not have to create its market.
Education is compulsory, the school
book market is created by law, and
thus there are no advertising ex-
penses, no travelling men, no resi-
dent agents in large cities, no Hobbies
at the state capital Dealers are al
lowed Is per cent profit, and the
dealers pay the freight charges.
For 40 years Kansas has done
other kinds Of state printing by the
contract system under which the
state printer often made from $2O,-
600 to $4,000 annually. To do away
wit hthis abuse, Kansas finally I'M
dertook to do it's own printing, with
SO much success in reducing the cost |

publication of school books followed |

the political activity of private pub
fishers, and thus takes the schools
out of politics" far as such a
miracle is possible.
HALF A WORLD AT WAR.-Fig-
ures covering the cost of the war
have passed beyond the power of the
average memory, but an easy way to
make figures convey the idea of the
immensely of the present conflict is
to be found in the statistics Of pop
Ulation and areas.
Estimated so, the number of hui
man beings whose interests are in
vOlved in the war is to be found to be
ten times the population of the U. S.
and considerably more than half that
of the earth, while the territory
owned by all of the belligerents is
more than One-half of the land area
of the earth.
Whoever has a head for figures
will be interested in the following:
The land area of the earth is esti-
mated at 55,5OO,O0O square miles,
while the area of the fighting COun-
tries is 100000.
The population of the earth is
about 800, 100000; the population
of the U. S. is 100000, while the
total population of all the countries
involved in the war is approximately
1000, 100000.
It is no longer a guess but a fact
that half of the inhabitants of this
planet are now at war.
Such information should keep the
minority from getting into any kind
of trouble which would further de-
populate and devastate this sphere.

STATE AUTHORITIES
SUSPEND RECRUITING
Work Has Been Temporarily halted
Because of Lack Of State Funds, But
Federal Authorities Will Hereafter
Continue the Work

Recruiting for the Second Idaho reg
iment has been temporarily suspend
ed by the state authorities because of
the diminishing funds available for
expense, and since the work in the
future must be carried on by the war
department, it is expected it will be
resumed on a larger scale, according
to word received in Moscow from the
adjutant generals office. Local re-
cruiting officers will, however, accept
enlistments subject to orders from
Boise as to disposition.
Adjutant General Moody at Boise
has received word from the war de-
partment relative to the federal plans
for recruiting in the state militia and
is also advised that plans are being
formulated toward authorizing
draft, should it be deemed necessary.
Recruits accepted from this time
on will be sent to the nearest military
post for examination. Fort Douglas
at Salt Lake and Fort Wright at Spo-
kane have been designated as points
to which Idaho recruits will be sent
in order to avoid expense of trans
portation.
