TOO GOOD TO MISS.

Idaho has a chance to obtain s243,-
200 from the federal government
within the next nine years and to use
that money for vocational training In
her public schools. If the vocational
training bill, already favorably acted
house OF congress this session land all
signs indicate that it will pass, Idaho
Will receive a steadily growing appro-
priation FROM Uncle Sam beginning
with $4,000 In 1917 and gradually
climbing to $4,000 in 1925 after
which the grant would remain at that
fixed annual figure.
This money will be divided into
three equal parts each year; for the
payment of teachers OF agricultural
subjects, for the payment of teachers
OF trade and Industrial subjects and
for the training of teachers In all these
subjects.
All that Idaho has to do to get this
money Is for the legislature to appro-
pirate a sum equal TO the allotment
from the federal government. To fail
to make this appropriation will be a
false and costly economy, Just as 1t
will be a penny wise policy II road ap-
preparations are not made to size up
to the money the federal government
offers to spend on roads In Idaho IL
this state will bear half OF the ex-
pense.-Statesman.

sioners on Elections and What They
Cost"
Mr.. Coffin said his figures we're as
nearly accurate as 1t was possible for
him to make them from the data he
obtained on the cost of the recent pri-
mary for the different commissioners.
His figures, made up from a chart
that he exhibited, were not challenged,
and he expressed the opinion that the
taxpayers would not favor the state
wide primary law when they learned
it cost them an average OF s1.40 for
every vote at the primary election.

WHO SOLD YOU BOOZEf
Justices Court Subpoenas Witnesses
Who Must Answer This Question.

Who sold you that booze? That is
a question you are likely to have to
answer if you are found with liquor in
your possession. eve though you may
have thought yourself safe under the
recent ruling that mere possession is
not a violation of the Idaho liquor laws
Subpoenas have been issued from
Justice Miller's court for several per-
sons who are known to have liquor in
their possession, to appear and testify
against parties unknown" Failure to
testify will be in contempt of court
and merit such punishment as the
court may properly .%inflict in such
cases.
The presumption is that someone is
selling liquor in Boise for beverage
purposes, and this means has been
adopted TO discover who the guilty
persons are. 1t is said that the per-
SON testifying is not in any dangerA

GREECE IS IN DIRE NEED OF PETROLEUM
Central Committee Charter a Ship and Sends It to
 New York

Athens, Greece, May 1.-(Correspond- : ence of the Associated Press. )-The governmental committee which has just curing and distributing necessities of life, has, as it's first act, sent a steam CT to New York to obtain petroleum which. at the moment, is one of the things in greatest demand in Greece. The grain and flour dealers of the Pierus have petitioned the committee to take similar steps to obtain wheat from the United States
 The scarcity of sugar has become so serious that the committee is distribut- ing it only on the presentation of sugar cards. Thus far the cards have been issued only to families and the confectioners and cafe proprietors are complaining bitterly In many towns and cities there is absolutely no sugar to be had. which is particularly hard on the Greeks. whose principal amuse- . ment is sitting in front of a cafe half the night drinking coffee in which sugar is principal ingredient.
 Another item in the list of scarce articles is sulphate of copper, which the vine growers need for spraying their vines and which can no longer be ob- tained from England because of its use there in the manufacture of munitions The vine growers have succeeded in placing a large order in the United States but the price has gone up three- fold, and in many districts the vine- yards are suffering because the propri- etors have been unable to obtain it at any price.

Efficiency In Shaving

From the New Republic.
 One of the most fantastic person in the world is the public official who, before he can write postal order or a tax receipt, has to make preliminary curls of penmanship in the air Observed by the scientific eye, we are much more fam tastic ourselves. If our effective mo tons could be registered on a visual tar get our record would be found to resem- ble that of saNages who use ammunition without a sight on their guns. If we think that the ordinary soldiers marks maiship is wasteful, we may well look to ourselves Cur life is pepppered with mo- tions that fly wide and wild. It begins on awaking. We ought to utilize that gesture fer polishing our shoes. We sl. oulJ rub our eyes on Sunday for the rest of the week. But it is in processes like shaving that scientific management Is really needed. Men flatter themselves that they shave with the minimum of gesture. They believe that they com Dlete the operation under five minutes. But excpsrs their inaccuracy, do they know that under the inspection of the scientific manager their performance would look az jagged as their razor blade urder the microscope? The day will probably arrive when superman will shave with one superb motion, as delightful to the soul as the uncoiling of an orange skin in one long unbroken peel.

 It is undoubtedly true that after you stay in New York awhile, it lays a

Cocktails

From Leslies
 The old way of doing business was to take a prospective purchaser, especially if he were from the country, and show him the town" Salesmen of the lead ing business houses had an unlimited expense account for such use, for this was the accepted method of landing big order. Standards have risen in recent years and the best concerns would frown upon the salesman who had to take cus- toners to the red light district the low class theatre, the saloon, or the card table to get an order. There are some houses however, that still encourage their employees to follow this lower standard of business morality and efficiency.
 A still more remarkable situa ton is dis closed in the plea of guilty made by the high-salaried sales manager, named White, of New York company to the charge of robbing two messengers of his company of the pay roll of 5000. His downfall he lays ot cocktails taken with his employer at luncheon, this leading on to nights of drunken gayety with other companions, finally transforming a sober business man into a crook. His attorney, commenting upon his downfall. said: Tt was the case of a man who had to go to Manhattan and the Tenderoin and drink wine and spend money to hold his position. White had to do this to get business. and his advancement was due to the fact that for years he made a habit of it. He finally got to going there for his own pleasure and fell in with bad company. It Is the old story of good man being dragged down by bad men.
