the sugar factory has been surveyed,
the engineers completing the work
Friday night On Saturday a con-
struction train, containing the crew
which has been laying steel along the
Short Line from st. Anthony to this
city, pulled in on the sidetrack here for
the purpose of going to work making
the grade and laying steel as soon as
weather will permit. Antonio VenIel-
N, assistant foreman, who has charge
Of the crew, told a representative of
The Times that work would probably
not begin for couple of weeks on
account of the bad weather, but added
that tLey would begin as soon as
pcssible. Three carloads Of tics are
sp their way here and will arrive in
few days, and steel rails will be on
hand next week so that the material
will be assembled shortly. Until the
weather permits, the crew, which num-
bers so, will remain here.
Officers of the Amalgamated Sugar
Company announce that they will not
delay work a day longer than neces-
sary and an early improvement in the

SCHOOL SAVINGS TO
BEGIN NEXT MONDAY
Plan to Teach Habits of Thrift to the
Boys and Girls in the City Schools.
Purpose Worthy.

The plan for the establishment of
system Of school savings in the local
schools will become effective next
Monday, January IT. The new plan is
to be put into effect with the opening
OF the second semester Of the present
school year.
Supplementing the scheme Of en-
couraging boys and girls in the local
schools to become actual depositors
in the local banks and thus practice
habits of thrift and saving, the teach
ers will place particular emphasis on
the matter of boys and girls becoming
savers. A few pinutes each week
will be devoted to lessons in thrift
in every grade in the elementary
schools In these lessons OF thrift,
the teachers will endeavor to incul-
cate habits OF saving and discourage
practices of extravaganza. This is
not simply a campaign to get boys and
girls into actual commercial relations
with the banking institutions of our
community and thus begin early hab-
its of thrift and good business; this
is, with equal emphasis, campaign
against habits Of wastefulness and ex-
travagance so often evidenced by boys
and girls Of the elementary grades. 1t
is fight against cheap candy or any
other cheap commodity that attracts
boys and girls because of the large
quantities that acn be bought for a
small sum of money 1t is primarily
campaign to make our boys and girls
business men and business women. II
is a struggle on the part of the public
schools for the early establishment OF
habits of thrift and saving that will
make secure for every child a sue
cessful business and economic future
1t is a struggle worthy of the good
/ purposes of education.
1t is hoped that every father anC
mother will exert extra effort to ex
tend to the teachers in this work ;
splendid spirit of sympathy and co
operation that will be a positive help
The home can do much to give thi
work a lot of backbone and stability.
The local banks that are operating
n the schools in this work are TIL
First National bank and The Twill
Falls Bank & Trust company. The sci
ection of the bank is left entirely will
the child and his parents. The schoo
will exert no influence in this matte
whatever
This is purely a unity Of home
school and bank, working without an,
favoritism for the economic future o
every child in the Twin Falls schools
The purpose behind the movement /
eminently worthy in every way lie
every factor in this unity put fort
every effort to accomplish this pur
pose.

LARGE FORCE FOR
GRADE ON MONDAY
County Commissioners In Meeting This
Week Decide to Improve Bad Places
on Falls Grade.

1--WE intend to blast out the bad
places in the grade on the Shoshone
road and make it thoroughfare that
will prove attractive to tourists and
others who wish to cross the canyon
in autos" said Dr. d. P. Albee, who
is in this week attending the meet
ing of the board of commissioners.
"The top of the grade is already in
good condition." he continued "but the
condition of the bottom part on the
south side is far from satisfactory"
The board has decided to blast out
the bad places at the bottom of the
grade and construct new road. For
this purpose a large force will be put
to work Monday morning. The work
will be done at this time because Of
the failure of the employment emer-
gency act owing to the recent decision
of the supreme court.

CHRISTIAN CHURCH HAS
A PROSPEROUS YEAR

The First Christian church of this
city has just closed a pleasant and
profitable year of its history. 1t has
not only seen the payment of its last
note ON the church mortgage, thus
setting it entirely free from debt but
every other bill of current expense has
been paid without any financial obli-
cations to burden and with every aux
iliary in the best condition in the
church's history. The total sum OF
money passing through the church
treasurer's hands and that of the treas
urer of the auxiliaries, during the
year 1915, was $6041.54. The Bible
school for the year had a bona fide
average weekly attendance of exactly
300, with an average weekly offering
of $94.7. The total offerings of the
Bible school for the year including
missions were s596.S9. The total mis-.
sionary offerings of the church and
it's auxiliaries for the year were
$52174
The present membership of the
church is 512. During the year the
minister and his wife have made few
better than 1900 visits and calls in
the interest of the church, while the
minister has officiated at IL funerals
and AZ weddings. 1t is anticipated that
the present year will be the most glor-
ious in the history of the church which
is now entering upon its eleventh year.
