LAUNCHING GIRLS IN SOCIETY.
Big Cities Have Much to Say About
the Debutants.

The social notes from the big cities
about now have much to say about
the "debutantes.'' There are many
newspaper pictures of these resplen-
dent creatures. They look like full
blown society queens, not buds who
but yesterday wore short dresses and
played dolls. The shy violet has be-
come a blooming rose.
Smart society holds it's young wo-
men much in reserve during the high
and prep" school age. Then they
are thrown to the social lions with
great eclat of parties and balls. The
custom results partly from the feel
ing of many careful parents that
quite young people should not have
much social life. Also the chances
of the matrimonial market may be
better if a girl is not allowed to be-
come too Familiarity known.
Among the masses of the people no
such break in the life of a girl is apt
to occur. She is "out" when she en-
tiers high school, perhaps before. But
a mere slip of a girl, she has her
beaus and may trot around to dan.
ces every Friday and Saturday night,
with occasional designations during
the week.
Mothers who never had much So
cial life are reluctant to shut down
on youthful enjoyment. They think
the young folks should go it while
young. School brings chances for
society that may never return. Con
sequently in many communities the
young people are in a perpetual whirl
of late hours.
The doctors would say that young
people, particularly young women
are better off without much of this
while in school The physical need
for growth and the strain of class
work are exhausting. The girl who
has tired of the simple pleasures OF
girlhood shows pale cheeks and Ian.
guild motions
1t is mistake for her to become
woman too early. Social success
bought at a price of frail health
comes high There are many year:
to come. The home loving girl witt
simple tastes has quite as mucl
charm as the precocious miss who
has cast aside girlhood before thc
normal age.

What is the World Coming to?

What is the world coming to, any
way? asks an exchange. Can you
tell? If you can you are more than
human. England, France, Germany,
Austria, Italy, Russia, Belgium, Ser
via, Bulgaria, Turkey, Montenegro,
Japan, Portugal, all shedding Their
hearts blood in useless cause, set
ting the world On fire to satisfy the
jealousy and hatred of kings, en-
perors and aristocratic fools. What
will history say? Why, the world
will be fortunate if there is anyone
left to write history. A few coun-
tries are left that are ostensibly at
peace, but even in those lands the
volcano is seething and ready to
burst forth in all its fury. Spain
is restless and irritated, China is
smoldering with internal revolt,
Sweden, Norway and Greece are on
fire, everywhere and at every hand it
is either war or preparation for war.
And now we, the fairest of all lands,
a people who love peace above all
peoples of the earth, are dipping our
feet into the rivers of Mexican blood,
and there seems no way OF staying
our steps. We must avenge the
sacking of our territory and the mas
sacre of our innocent citizens, let the
consequences be what they may.

BLACK CANYON TO GET
NO APPROPRIATION
THIS SESSION

The senate passed Tuesday Repre-
sentative Smiths bill previously pas
sed by the house. providing for the
creation OF lien on unpatented home
steads and desert lands entries with
in irrigation districts organized under
state laws, and also on government,
lands in such districts which later are
entered under land laws.
The conference committee on the
agricultural bill struck out Senator
Borah's amendment appropriating
$4,000 for the examination of the
Black Canyon irrigation project. The
house refused to accept the senate,
amendment, saying that such money
should come out of the reclamation
fund and not out of the treasury.

CALDWELL HAS FAILED
TO RESPOND TO THE
CALL FOR HELP

Responses to the appeal for sub
scriptions to the fund being raised for
the dependents Of members of Com
pany G., Second Idaho Infantry are
coming in slowly and the committee
in charge of the fund is sorely disap
pointed over the apparent indiffer
ence of residents of this section to-
ward the plan. Since the publication
of the names last week but four new
pledges have been received.
That the people in general do not
appreciate the Importance of the fund
is the opinion of prominent bust
ness man. "The people of Caldwell
and vicinity should respond literally
to the appeal made for funds 10 assist
dependents of members of Company
G., who are now serving their coun-
try on the border, and it now
is distinct disappointment to me that
Caldwell, the most prosperous city in
the state should thus respond so
slowly. AS l understand it the total
amount pledged is less than $50 per
month and that it will be necessary
to have at least $3.50 pledged monthly
IN OrQer tnat the committee Inlay PloP-
erly care for demands made upon it
The personnel of the committee as
sures that the fund will be expended
advantag eously, and it is indeed ask
ing but little of those of us who re-
manned at home to contribute our mite
towards this worthy cause"
