Longer Working Hours

Joseph J. O'Brien, editor of Invention,
in a lengthy letter to Representative
BOrland, attacks his bill on the ground
that by increasing the number Of work
ing hours for government clerks, the
efficiency Of such employees would be les
sened.
In his letter Mr.. O'Brien cites a num-

partments and tells of the tasks which
the clerks In other departments are now
unraveling, and to lessen their efficiency
at the present time would mean near
disaster to farmers and industries in

to reconsider his action and vote against

OLD TIMERS VISIT
EARLY DAY SCENES

w. j. Raney OF Boise, Mrs. Emma
Just. with her son and daughter, MIR.
and Mrs. r. e. Reid and two child
rem, of Shelley, Idaho, registered at
the Idanha hotel Thursday.
Mr.. Raney was one of the soldiers
who escorted Soda's first settlers to
this place in 1868. He helped to To-
cate and build Camp Conner in that
year, and was stationed there until
the post was abandoned in 1865.
Mrs. Just. who became the bride
of one of the company's sergeants,
and was married at the old camp,
tells many amusing incidents OF the
old times which she relates in her
own interesting manner.
Mr.. Raney and Mrs. Just went over
the ground near the Bear river
bridge, southwest of Soda Springs,
to try to locate the exact site of the
camp. There is nothing left to mark
the spot, but the lady and gentleman
decided that the exact place is a
level bit of high ground inside c. w.
Fryar's field, and Just north OF the
Spring Creek canal.
The party left for home Friday
morning in their big car via Henry
and other points north, intending to
locate some other old landmarks, es-
pecially the old Eagle Rock in Snake
river, from which MIR. Raney at one
time many years ago captured two
young Eagles.-Soda Springs Chief

zinc Has BIC place In war.

Zine IL 90 essential IN wartime that
1t has risen enormously In price in the
past year. Costing originally only
two-fifths as much as copper. it now
costs decidedly more than copper, in
spite of the fact that copper itself has
sharply increased in value.
Zinc is constituent of cartridge
brass and shell-fuses, and Is used also
as a covering for iron barbed wire
fencing. In 1913 the United States,
Germany and Belgium were the lead.
ing producers of zinc.
OF the three, only the United States
smelted domestic ores. Belgium and
Germany relied mainly on zinc con.
centrates that they imported from the
Broken Hill mines in New South
Wales, where, for one reason and an,
other, 1t does not pay to do the smelt-
ing. France, Spain and Great Brit
ain also produce substantial quantities,
but not enough to supply their own
needs.
Austria and Germany have consider.
able deposits OF ore in Silesia, Hun,
gary, Carinthia and the Tyroi. As the
zinc-smelting furnaces of Great Brit
ain are not well adapted for dealing
with the Broken Hill concentrates 1t
buys the bulk of it's supplies from the
United States.

LOVE IN THE ORIENT
couRTsHIPs THAT GO ON uNDER
MANY DIFFICULTIES.
In Some Tribes Several SWANS Served
Their Adored Ones Until the One
Chosen From Among the 9th
ere Has Been Designated.

Some customs prevailing in certain
parts of the Sudan have been enter
tainingly described in a series of let
tiers which an English traveller. min
lister Of education, has written to his
wife who is visiting America.
He came across certain tribes where
the women, he says, seem to have
passed the limits of even American
women" and he naively adds that but
for the distance from Cairo and the
wildness of the country he would will
ingly pass several months in the midst
of these good folk In order to learn
the meaning of virtue in both the an
cient and the modern sense of the
word.
Zone girl may have as many as from
seven to fifteen wooers, who court
and fiirt with her for a whole year in
the sight of her parents. They not
only visit her in the daytime, but re-
main at night near her dwelling to
smount guard outside her room, going
so far even as to keep watch within
her room in order to be at her serv-
ice in case she should awake.
IF she asks for water, as many
calabashes Of water are offered to her
as there are lovers in attendance.
Should she desire to pay calls on her
friends the whole of her lovers offer
to carry her palanquin, and again it is
the aspirants to her hand who under
take to anoint her with butter every
morning. The period of courtship
lasts for year. at the end of which
period the beauty must make her
choice. When she does SO the un.
successful wooers go away to repeat
their performance with another girl.
These maidens are black and, nom
inally at least, Mohammedans, but In
the matter of rights and liberties they
have little to learn. The Shilluks OF
the White Nile, on the other hand, are
as far as possible from being Moham-
medans, yet their women have SINH.
lar privileges.
With the Shilluks it is the women
that rule the household, the young
women themselves that choose their
husbands and that, once married, as
sumo the post Of command. The
strongest and most hot-headed man
dare not beat his wife, for he would be
looked down upon Immediately and
would be unable to find a second wife
to succeed his first. No missionary eff
fort affects the Shilluk woman; it ii
practically impossible to convert hel
either to Christianity or to Ielamism
for she is the guardian and depository
OF the Shilluk traditions, religion and
historical customs. "-Philadelphia In

Save your old paper and ragsl BY
so doing, according to the department
Of commerce. you not only will be en-
riching yourself to a certain extent,
but win be aiding paper manufacturers
to solve what promises to become a
very serious problem-the shortage Of

The department Is sending broad.

them to conserve their old paper.
Something like $1,000 tons of paper
are manufactured every day in the
United States and large proportion
Of this, after being used, is thrown

just 30 much raw material must be
obtained.

The result of the vote at last Tues
days primary election indicates that
the people OF Montpelier take less
interest in the nomination of candi-
dates than do those of any other sec
ton in the county. Out of voting
population Of 700, only $50 votes
were cast in this city last Tuesday.
This is only trifle over a third of
the vote. AS long as the citizens of
Montpelier manifest SO little interest
regarding the selection of'candidates,
they have no cause to complain about
Montpelier not having a fair share OF
the county officers.

A good many people are wondering
il the Oregon Short Line Railroad
company erected it's new passenger
station at Montpelier for use or mere
ly as an ornament. The building has
been ready for occupancy for month
or more. but for some reason the
company is delaying the grading and
graevling Of the ground around it.
Is it possible that the state sanitary
department will have to again prod
the railroad company up in order to
get it to throw open the doors of its
new depot to the public?

IDAHO HISTORY IN
IDAHO SCHOOLS


Growing Interest il manifested in
the ihovemeElt to give our children
in. the Schools some knowledge OF
how idaho hnd the Northwest were
won frem the desert and made into
a land of homes and civilization,
says press bulletinrfrom the state
department Of education. Thruout
the state men and women who have
made a study Of pioneer history are
Offering their help.
What il most needed Just now is
collection of stories for children in
the primary and grammar grades.
The state department Of education
has already some material, but more
is needed.
The latest contribution consists of
the Nez Perez Indian legend of the
creation of man, which has been fur
nished by Adjutant General Moody,
who lived for many years among the
Nez Perez, and is himself an adopted
member of the tribe. DIR. Moody has
promised other legends, and also
stories of Idaho life.
We should have hundreds of sto-
/ ries from which to select the best
to give our children an insight into
the lives and characters of their pa
rents and forefathers and the cour-
age, energy and intelligence that
were demanded by pioneer life and
struggles.
Education must begin at home
that is the only place it can begin.
Only by knowing and feeling the true
interest and power OF our own his
tory can our children fully grasp and
sympathize with the history of our
country and the world.
All who are interested are asked
to send stories of pioneer life in
Idaho and the Northwest to the state
department Of education for use, II
suitable, in the collection of stories
for use in the schools.
