IDAHO SCHOOL OF MINES

Wallace Miner: The call for volun.
teers and the draft law have levied a
heavy tribute upon the educational in,
stitutions of the country for he double
reason that the young men who make up
the higher classes are usually of the
type who respond readily to the call of
the army and navy in war, and those
wro do not are largely subject to the
draft. The University of Idaho has
felt the effects of war in this respect
and while it is most r~egretable that so
many young men of Idaho have been
forced to abandon their educational
plans, it is nevertheless a matter of pride
to the people of the state that they have
promptly and cheerfully placed their
hopes and ambitions behind them and
followed the flag wherever it may lead
The Idaho school of mines particu-
has been hard hit by the war, nearE
ly all the advanced classmen having
been called to the colors. This situa-
ton has drawn special attention to the
.esirabilty of inducing young men who
graduate from the high schools of Idaho
to take a mining course at the state
university. A technical mining educa-
ton opens a wide field for ambitions

GIVE AND KEEP ON GIVING

Caldwell Tribune: The country will
be called upon to give and give again,
If war continues another year or two
our past efforts will seem trivial. They
are trivial in comparison with what
we might do and with what we will do.
The country must prepare to go the
limit. Not a man will lose a thing in
the long run. No matter how much
he gives he will be better for the sac
rifice. The people as a whole will be
better. The world will be better.
Out of the war are going to come
epochal changes in government, man.
ner of living and way of thinking. We
are in hopes that the changes will be
for the better. The sacrifices demand
ed at this time will be recompensed a
hundredfold.
When you are asked to give, give
cheerfully and to the limit. When YOU
can get yourself into the frame of mind
which will enable you to give promptly.
cheepfully and literally you will start
to get your benefits from the great war.
Unless you get those benefits you alone
will be the loser. Dom t lose.

Here's Another Bootleg
Story; Scene in Lewiston

Two visitors to the stock show made
complaint to the police because thay had
received cold tea when they had order
ed whiskey in Lewiston and the price
they paid was a $40 note for two quart
bottles.
The complaint was made to the police
on the grounds that the vendor of the
tea should be arrested for ~bootlegping
and while the ol,lcers could find no
grounds for the bootlegging charge
from the evidences furnished by the
complaining witnesses, thye are willing
to make an investigation and ascertain
the identity of the tricky tradesman.
One of the witnesses explained that
he had been trying to make connection
with "a bottle of whiskey for several
DAYS and that at last a man was pointed
out to him as the person who could fill
his order. He said he approached the
man asked if it would be possible TO

procure Il bottle and the fellow advised
HIM that he could get it at SIS a quart.
The complaining witness said it was to
be bottled in bond goods and he placed
his order for two bottles. When the
vendor returned the two bottles were
carefully wrapped in a package and the
prospective purchaser was in waiting
with the $40 note. The package and
the note changed hands and the pur.
chaser fastened to his room to relieve
his thirst. He explained that he was
completely deceived until the first bot.
tie had been opened and it's contents
tested and then he discovered that he
had paid for two quarts of cold tea. He
explained that the bottles bore labels of
a well known high grade whiskey, and
the government internal revenue stamp
across the mouth of the bottle had been
so carefully cut that the fact it had
been cut could not be discovered upon
the closest examination.

Lassen peak, the volcano in northern
California, is becoming inactive, after
three years of belching steam, boulders
and mud. The crater is fast turning to
a cavern of ice, say men who have just
returned from a climb to the summit of
the mountain. The change in the volcano
from active to dormant state comes
fully as suddenly and unexpectedly as
did the first eruption three years ago.
Whether we may expect another sur
prise in the nature of a future violent
eruption of Lassen, no one, it seems, is
willing to prophesy.
