Parsley il)-"April Showers
Bring May Flowers" You know that
one, don't you? Well try this one on
your vocal chords: "January's suns
Bring February gunsi"
The German Crown Prince first
made the practical application Of this
truth, but the proverb is ours, like
wise the Yersification, school histories
of 201s to the contrary notwithstand-
ing.
A close study Of the battle Of YER
dun proves it to have been a freak
of nature, like January strawberries,
OF peach blossoms in December.
The battle OF Verdun was planned
for April or May, but in the German
military plans there was an unless,
which. when followed by the remain
der Of the sentence read: Unless by
some strange atmospheric phenome-
non wet get a long spell Of fine, dry
weather before that time"
True to Teutonic traditions Of pre-
paredness, as early as December the
Germans began bringing up material
for use in the attack. Every avail
able big howitzer, including the 305's
and the 1905, was hauled TO the YER
dun sector through which the Grown
Prince hoped 10 make a breach and
commence a march on Paris down th'
historic poplar lined roads following
the banks Of the Marine. Trenches
were dug. ammunition in vast quanti'
ties were stored at strategic points and
everything put In ship shape fol
springing the big offensive.
Then the January sun came out
Rarest Of all rarities in France, a mid.
winter dry spell came accompanied by
lots Of spring-like days and sunshine
From January Is until past the mid
die of February one would have
thought May az hand The Strange
atmospheric phenomenon" had come
to pass and the decision to let fly was
the result. According 10 German pris
oners they had been told on the eve
OF the battle.

FRIDAY, AUGUST 4, 1916
SCHOOL MILITARY
TRAINING

The matter of military train
ing for boys in our higher graded
schools, in the high schools, COL
leges and the university of the
state should be brought into the
campaign this year and into the
legislature next winter, for the
first essential of a states defense
must always be the men behind
the guns. All else can be promp-
thy supplied, but the trained SOL
der cannot be supplied to order.
There are other reasons. This
whole country is filled with people
who have no conception of the
sacredness of citizenship in this
great Republic, or the duties that
attach it. Again, the one thing
needed in American homes more
than any other one thing is dici-
pine. The American boy is
naturally precocious and wants
to have his own way and often
needs to be taught the necessity
of promptness, precision and in
the right place obedience. Again
his sense of honor and the need
of truthfulness are essential to
make a real man.
Again our schools contain mil
lions of children of foreign-born
parents, many of whom are still
obsessed with a belief that the
country they were glad to get
away from because of the handi-
caps suffered there is really the
greatest of countries and they
never impress upon their chill
dren the duty of reverence for
free institutions or for the flag
that is their symbol.
Such boys especially need mill
tary training in the schools to
impress upon them the duties of
citizenship. Aside from all that
all boys need the training to
make them manly, self-respect-
full, and to fit them for contact in
in business with their fellow
men. All voters should read
what Massachusetts and New
York are doing and determine
that Utah shall be third in the
real preparation of its youth for
their duties both in peace and in
war. Goodwin's Weekly.

1t is with pleasure that we an
nounce this week the nomination
of August Schroeder, of this To-
cality, for the office of county
commissioner from the second
district on the democratic ticket.
Mr.. Schroeder has been a resi-
dent of this part of the county
for many years and is we'll known
all over this part of the state.
Besides being a large farmer and
tax payer, he has been a breeder
of pure bred Hereford cattle for
several years and has brought no
little credit to our county by rea-
son of winning prizes with his
stock at the various live stock
shows. Mr.. Schroeder served as
a member of the first board of
commissioners of the Keuterville
Highway district and is now a
valued member of the local high
way district board. He is a fair
minded, conservative man, broad
enough to serve all portions of
the county without bias, and is
fully equipped with experience
and ability to fill the office with
honor to himself and his party.
The residents of Idaho county
can make no mistake in placing
August Schroeder in office as
county commissioner for the next
two years.

in GOLD STORE
u. S. Sub Treasury and
Assay Office Vaults Are
Overlooking.

Another consignment Of S2.5oo,OoV
in British gold bars arrived from
Canada yesterday for the account OF
J. p. Morgan & Co.. bringing the total
of the movement since early May TO
S272.OO0. 900. In the last two weeks
approximately $4,000. 600 of the metal
has come in from the north.
The United States Assay Office and
the Sub-Treas where the gold re-
ccipts are deposited on their arrival
here. are literally swsmped by the
steady influx Some time ago the
vaults Of the Assay Office were filed
TO their capacity. and since then the
overflow has been taken care of at the
Sub-Treasury. which normally only
handles coin.
Officials there estimated yesterday
that the vaults contained sufficient gold
70 enable them to pay out $1,000 a
da- FOR 1000 years, with S25o,0O0,ooo
20 spare. In other words. the vaults
of the Sub-Treasury contain approNi-
mately s6OO,OOO.OOO. OF this, $780,
O0O. 900 is in bars and is carried IN
the account of the Assay Office. The
latter institution has an additional
5000. OO0. 900 in its own vaults. 80 that
the combined gold treasure in the
vaults of the two government buildings
totals. roughly. 100000. This is
probably more gold than was ever be-
fore stored in one place.
At the Sub-Treasury the problem Of
taking care Of the metal becomes in
creasirgly difficult with every arrival
Gold bars are piled inside the several
chambers Of the vault like so much

Total gold holdings in the Sub-Tress-

lows: In gold certificates, slO5,OOO'-
600; in gold coin, sl5o.o00,o0o; in
bars. $500. 100000. A large part Of
the bar gold is virgin metal, having
come from the Transvaal mines Of
South Africa by way of Canada. Be
sides this. there is $4,000, 900 in silver
dollars. held on deposit against silver
certificates in circulation. This metal
has caused the solid steel walls of the
containing chamber to bulge from
sheer weight.
