For National
Prohibition
Idaho Senator to Make Fight to Amend
Constitution.

WASHING TON National pro-
hibltlon is TO have new champion
IN congress in Senator William T..
Borah of Idaho. Under his leader
ship a fight is to be made at the
coming short session to put
through resolution submitting to
the states for ratification a prohi-
bition amendment 10 the federal
constitution.
Coupled with the fight which
Senator Borah intends to lead will
be separate, aud yet related con-
test, conducted under the leader
ship OF Senator Wesley L Jones
OF Washington, to force prohibi-
ton upon the District of Columbia.
The latter is renewal of a fight
made at the last session of
congress, and abandoned.
There has never been well
organized night in congress to
submit prohibition amendment
to the states, though many prohi-
bition resolutions have been pro-
posed. only to be forgotten, or to
be abandoned, for lack of general
support. Senator Borah, in an
nouncing his purpose to make a
real fight for prohibition amend
ment, makes it plain that he is
going into the contest to win, and
if he is outgeneraled or outvoted
at the short session, he promises
to bob up again in the new con-
gress, keeping prohibition to the
forefront until vote is had. If
record vote can be secured, Sena-
tor Borah is confident of getting
enough votes to pass the resolution.

STORY OF THE POTATO.
AS Food II Was at First Used only
For Pigs and Cattle.

AS Food " Was at First Used Only
For Pigs and Cattle.
The question of where the potato is
indigenous and where introduced by
man has never been strictly answered.
1t seems sure, however, that the potato
is native of the mountainous districts
of tropical and subtropicaI America.
from Chile TO Mexico and even as far
north as the southern part Of Colorado.
Data concerning the known use of the
potato for food are not very definite.
1t probably was first taken to Europe
from Peru by Spaniards early in the
sixteenth century and spread from
Spain to Holland, Burgundy and Italy.
though cultivated only as n curiosity in
few gardens and little known or
thought CT. In THE Complete Gar
dener," published in 1710, it is notmen-
toned.
As a food it was first used for pigs
and cattle Then, on account of its
great yield, it was suggested that 1t
might be useful for the poor and pre-
vent famine. due to the failure of the
grain crops.
AS early as 1868 the Royal Society of
London adopted measures to encourage
its cultivation In England. 1t spread
quickly in Ireland, but not until the
middle Of the eighteenth century did
1t acquire any real importance on the
continent of Europe. OF its first cult
vation as a crop in North America even
less is known-New York Times.

County Teachers
Meeting
Program, Rathdrum, Dec. 9.--General
Public Invited to Attend.

gram Is ANNOUNCED Oy Superlnten
dent ] D. Davis of the Rathdrun
public schools for the Kootena
County Teachers meeting to b,
held at the high school building il
Rathdrum Saturday, December o
Beginning at 1880 p. m. the
program will include round table
discussion of two timely subjects
"The rural school and its com
munity", and "The independent
district and its neighbor districts. ,
Under the former subject, Supt.
Davis suggests that the discussion
will touch upon what the teacher
may do and what the teacher
should do as a citizen, how the
school curriculum can be adjusted
to fit the community, what work
can be done pro6tably outside of
the school building, what the
school can do as definite service
to its patrons and community. and
what can be done proftably to the
school grounds, etc.
Under the latter subject ques-
tions will be taken up concerning
comparison of work annually be-
tween districts, exchange of exam
ination questions, visits, assistance
in advance problems, loan of
library and science equipment,
etc.
Two prominent educators have
been secured for the occasion: Mr..
]. w. Hoppe of Cheney Normal,
: Cheney, Wash, will give an ad-
dress in the afternoon, and in the
e1ening at 7;3o Prof. Philip Soulen
from the University of Idaho will
address the meeting.
: The local orchestra, school glee
club and town quartet will give
numbers on the program.
A free lunch is to be served in
the evening in the high school
domestic science room to all visit
ing teachers.
1t is announced that teachers
agreeing to attend will have free
automobile transportation from
Coeur d'Alene, Post Falls, Spirit
Lake and Hayden Lake to Rath
drum and return. There will be
three autos for Coeur d'Alene, one
for Post Falls, one for Spirit Lake
and one for Hayden Lake.
In the invitation to the teachers,
Mr.. Davis states that the values
of the meeting in general are:
"First, and greatest, the inspira-
tion in meeting others who are
giving themselves in the same way
that you are; second, help toward
the solution of some of your
toughest problems; third, breaking
away from your regular surround
ings and seeing other people, hear
ing other people and enjoying
other things; lastly, and peer to
the first, seeing the work of the
field of education through the eyes
of men who speak as authority"
Rathdrum people and neighbors
are all welcome and are urged to
attend the teachers gathering, for
the following reasons,' says Mr..
Davis:
First, the whole program will be
instructive.
Second, are the teachers of Koot-
enai county thinking along the
right lines?
Third, this is the first meeting
held here for years; what sort o.
reception will be given the teach.
ers attending?
Fourth, the visitors, tho they
come only for this brief time, are
expecting a warm welcome from
Rathdrum people; are we going tc
disappoint' them?

The Aztec bean, which became fani- ous through the publicity given it by the Yavapai County Chamber of Com merce, has not ceased to create inter est in all farming communities in the United States, every now and then some farmer coming to the front with new bean to test the superiority cf the Aztec. To date. the Aztec has maintained its prestige as the King of the Bean Kingdom"
 The latest authority to test the su- perior qualities of the Aztec is NJ. Hardin. of Gcary. Okla, who mas sent to the local chamber samples of the so-called Gigantic Wonder Bea1." al- though in comparison with the Aztec it is mere 'pigmy." Quoting from Hardin's letter:
 "The Gigantic Wonder Bean is great new forage plant and soil build CT, is a perfect stock food, yielding tons of hay per acre. It Is novel and prodigious curiosity of unusual importance. Extremely early, enorm- ously productive Tender, stringless and surprisingly delicious for snap shorts and shelling. This wonderful plant is native of India, and was in- troduced into this country few years ago. It is a great acquisition and tru- ly a prodigy. The Gigantic Wonder Bean is an unsurpassed garden vege- table and forage plant"
 The samples of the bean have been divided into three equal lots and will be given to Prof. A. M McOmie, to try out at the Russian colony; J. D. Betnune, for the county farm; and L L. Bates. for the Prescott experiment. station.
