It is not enough that tables, chairs, rugs and pictures should be in a room. There is a fine art of discrimination in select ing furniture, and persons of taste choose armchairs, desks and tables as they choose friends, expecting to live with them a long time.

ISSUE CLEARLY DRAWN

There is no escape from the logic of President
Wilson's Indictment of the imperial government of
Germany His recital of the incidents leading to
the present crisis is dominating feature of the
ident's address to congress.
And if the facts, the president sets them FORTH
are accepted there is from the conclusion he
reached-that the imperial German government,-not
the German peope,-has waged cruel and senseless
war upon the and the people of the United
States.
This is the issue that Germany must meet; this
the cataog of outrages that the sleeping
lion of America this is the gross injury for which
atonement must made this is the path that Germany
must tread she her lost position in the
confidence and friendship of the American people.
Here in the merciess logic of the presidents adj
dress is to be found the basis of the impending
war to maintain the honor of great nation and pro-
tect the rights of humanity everywhere.

CULTIVATE HABIT OF THRIFT
Impossible to Learn Too Early tho
Importance of Spending Ones
Money in Wise Manner.

Any fool is a good spender, but 1t
takes wise man to save money.
That there are more fools than wise
men is proved by the fact that one
tenth of all the people who die in the
United States are buried in pauper's
graves.
With a population of 100,O00,000
there are 100000 people in the Unit
ed States who would be hungry in ten
days after losing their jobs.
There are 100000 men with steady
jobs and little children dependent on
them who have not saved enough to-
feed their own babies for two weeks.
There are 100000 "well-to-do"l
men who could not pay their debts and
have enough left to buy a gallon of
gasoline for the automobile they ride
in every day.
What is thrift? Industry earns,
economy manages, providence plans,
and frugality saves. Thrift embraces
all these.
Training in thrift should be a part
of the curriculum of every school and
part of the training of every boy and
girl, every man and woman. Thrift

ways IT, for any reason, the moving of the hands
of the clock is undesirable, then arrangements could
be made to have as places of business and industry
open and close one hour earlier through the summer
months leaving the clocks just they If this
earlier opening and closing could be made general it
would accomplish the same purpose changing the
hands the clock giving workers the benefit of earlier
closing for outdoor work and recreation at the close
of the day.
The essential thing in all this is unanmity in pur-
pose action for the good of the whole community
There is no just for friction in the matter, and
there no desire the part of anybody to take adj
vantage of others
The star-Nirror has desire to dictate in the
matter but it is firmly convinced that general plan
for earlier opening and closing, through the
months especially would be for the benefit of the whole
community in many important ways

Idaho Press Notes
Seed Showers For Soldiers

Toronto is said to be giving seed
potato showers for the families of its
soldiers. The gardening committee
of the thrift organization hopes to get
around the prices of seed potatoes, now
almost prohibitive to the small gard
ner. This committee is asking citizens
to contribute seed potatoes for use
by soldiers families in back yard
gardens.
II doesn't matter how small the
quantity if the seed is sound and good.
Manv church in the city will be used
as distributing centers. The seed
will be collected there and given out
by the Vacant Lot Garden Association.
In this way small pots of ground
will be planted with potatoes that 9TH
erwise would be left unproductive
These many small gardens will not
only help families to be self-supporting
while their men are at the front, but
thew will add not inconsiderably to the
total potato crop. And the potato crop
needs all the boosting it can get

THE CRAFTSMANSHIP OF PRAYER

Not the least of the patriotic and wise uterances
in Washington the opening day OF congress was the
prayer of Rev. Forrest j. Pretyman, chaplain of the
senate. Here it is:
Amid the confusion and violence of the world
today we can not know the things that may shortly
come to pass Lead us, God, through the dark
ness until the day dawns and shadows flee away.
Grant us courage to defend the truth. At this
critical time in the history of country, lead
these thy servants in plain path and inspire
them with lofty principles.
1t is good prayer for the whole nation. 1t is of
the essence of patriotism and wisdom.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

Agricultural work in the boys and
girls clubs was introduced in the
High school recently by speeches by
F. M. Potter, of the extension depart
ment of the University of Idaho, and
Professor Wilson of the agricultural
department. They placed special en-
phasis on the value of agricultural
work at this time.
Following the speeches a meeting
was called of those interested in this
line of work. Seven students were
present and five of these signed the
membership roll. The value of the
work was recognized and it was re-
solved to secure larger membership
and to get larger number of students
interested. Ragnar Kullberg was made
chairman of the organization.
Up to the present time no additional
members have been secured but there
are number who expect to join later.
Those in the club now are Edwin
Scheyer, Fred Nelson, Otto Hadden,
Jerold Friedman, John Gill, Fred
Scheyer and Ragnar Kullberg
Fred Nelson and Otto Hadden have
started their work of raising pigs
which they will compete for the 500
prize offered by the O.-W. R. & N
company.
The members of the garden and po-
tato clubs have not done much yet |
on account of the late spring, but they
have been securing information con-
ready for good work in their lines |
as soon as the weather is fit.
