AMERICAN YOUTH

BY CHARLES F. THWING
President of Western Reserve University.

One Of the moro charming. and at
times one OF the more Irritating. char
aCteristicS Of youth is It's eSot'sm.
Youth is full OF self. II thinks self.
It feels self. 1t wills self II talks

self Is making on others. 1t is con-
scious chiefly OF self. Its self-con-
seriousness is often 10 others Il COM
edy.' To itself this consciousness is
often tragedy. TO approach 1t
either in the mood Of wit or humor is
Sacrleglous.
This egotism shows itself in ut least
two ways, in its patronage or the past
and in its own ambitions for the
future.
Patronizing is praise given by an
inferior 10 n superior, and IN the
mood OF assumption on the part Of
the inferior that he is really the SUI
perior Such Il mood toward the his
toric past and toward the aged is
rather normal with youth. The sew

ture. But really 1t is not the TWEEN

painters for their times. But look at
the new masters" Washington was
certainly a useful and entcrprising
patriot. But consider how small were

compared with those Of Lloyd
George"
Likewise in its Interpretation OF the
future youth shows its egotism. That
future is its field which it Is to cul-
tivate. and from It's rich soil to pro-
duce fruit the like OF which human
lips have not tasted The future is

be an explorer, scholar. an admin
istrator, a jurist. No prize is thought
10 be too high for its winning. no
work too hard for It's doing, no re-
ward too rich for its achieving and
receiving.
The display OF such egotlsm IS in
peril Of course of not being good man
ners. But the fact Of its possession
is. on the whole, rather pleasant. 1t
is in fact one Of those intellectual
and ethical diseases. which can be
cured. A hard job. a very hard JOB.
is first-rate remedy. Such job
serves to give 10 youth Il keen sense
Of reality and Of limitations.
But 1t is also to be said that the
disease often cures itself in the pro-
cesses of nature. Parental chastlsng
of egotiSm Is commonly vain. The
Just ridcule Of companions may stem
for awhile It's swift currents. but only
for awhile. Experience is the great
panacea. The disease usually passes
with youth. Maturity witnesses It's

devoted to berating the manufacture

overtime to bring on war. One or the
worst cases Of misrepresentation was
that inflicted By Representative
Reayis, Of Nebraska, upon the du FONT

Idahoans are expected to observe it
through the purchase of home pro-

claration of war between two coun-
tries.

ference to al others. Idaho is Jointly
observing the week with the states Of

country aroused to the necessity of
preparing for any crisis that may
arise the necessity Of seeing that Ida

concerns and buyers are urged to re-
dest those supplying them, with Ida

TO PROVIDE POWER
FOR The PUMPING
OF WATER T0LANDS.
Settlers Of the Gem Irriga-
ton District Accept Offer
Made by Idaho Power
Company.

Homedale, April 1.-THE settlers on
meeting in the upper end Of the pro-
ject Friday night and unanimously
passed resolution to accept the pro-
position Of the Idaho Power company,
that crop mortgages be given to secure
the payment of the power bill for the
1917 season. The power company has
agreed to give the settlers all power
needed, but imposed the condition that
the payments must be in advance, or
else must be secured by crop mort
cages. 1t Is the plan o. the district il
it can be legally arranged. to pay the
power company a part of the charge
for the season in advance, the amount
to depend upon the funds available. 1t
will probably be a payment in the
neighborhood Of $4,000. The power
company asked for $4,000, but it now
seems impossible for the district to
pay that amount at this time.
The power service for the full sea-
son will cost the district approx
mately $4,000, and it is the intention
OF the settlers to mortgage their
crops to raise the other $50, 900, so that
company after electricity amounting
to the first payment has been deliver
ed.
TRUSTEE PLAN NOT LEGAL.
Just what procedure will be taken
to raise this money will depend upon
the advice Of the districts attorney.
The power company asks the appoint
ment of a trustee to get these securi-
ties and hold them in trust until the
1917 power bill has been paid, but the
board Of directors of the. Gem distrist
takes the view that the irrigation laws
Of the state demand that the assess
ment payments for power and all 9TH
er purposes must be made to the
treasurer of the district, making the
of a trustee a legal i'm
possibility.
Since the power company has ex-
pressed willingness to supply the
district with all power needed, instead
of limiting the amount to 1000 horse
power, the settlers under the project
are more optimistic for the ultimate
outcome of their power problems. AL
ready the brush has been cleared from
5000 additional acres and more work
is being done now. The season is
late, but the farmers are doing their
best to increase the production Of
crops to aid the country at this criti-
cal time.
Instead of hiring men and teams to
clean out the irrigating canalt and
bitches, as has been the custom here
tofore. the farmers are doing their own
work and within another week the ir-
rigation system will be ready for wat
er.
