A LIMPING SYSTEM

1t is clear to the minds of all thinking that
the present system of making appropriations for state
institutions in Idaho is radically wrong.
1t is not proper, at this time, to criticse any man
or any party; it should be profitable call aten-
ton to the wretched system financing the state
schools especially
Take the university illustration:
The president the bursar and the heads of the de-
partments make emized estimate of what is needed
for the biennum This is then put in the form of
budget trimmed to what considered the actual
essities
This budget is then laid before the board of
education board made of men whose first duty it
is to look to the interests all educational
buttons of the The university budget is there
trimmed to the financial situation in the state
1t then goes the legislature In the lower
is referred the appropriations committee. In the
senate it goes the committee finance. These
mttees made up it is presumed, of the best
qualified to look the business interests of the
state
In these committees the university budget is trim
med again to make ii conform to the amount of
available for all purposes Then it goes before
the two branches legislature be threshed
in committee of the whole and in open session
AFTER 1t has run the gauntlet OF all these dlHerenI
agencies, the legislature places the stamp of it's
poval the final product lays it the desk of the
governor and rushes off home.
On the desk of the governor the university budget
is buried in a great bills, rushed through the
legislature the closing hours of the session. the
governor has but a limited time to consider all this
great mass business covering the entire scope of
state activities
1t is not within the power of any man to give
mature consideration to all these complex matters
dumped upon him the close of the legislative
sion 1t is crimnay unfair to ask any man to under
take task. 1t is certainly unfair to the institu
lions
Could any imagine successful private
business conducted the lines of this state business?
1t is a matter serious thought This bunging
is the fault of man, of institution of section,
political party is the legitimate offspring of
wrong system

AVIATORS GIVEN HARD TEST
Filters in the Service of France Must
Measure Up to Strctest of
Requirements.

The acceptance as aviatOrS in the
| French service of so many sons of
wealthy American families proves that
these young men are far from being
the "fanneled fools and muddled oafs''
whom Kipling once rallied against on
the other side of the water. The phys
ical and mental requirements of the
French service, in the case of aviators,
are of the severest sort. They are
now being tested not only for strength
and ordinary intelligence, but are re-
quired to demonstrate the quickness
of their response to visual, audi
tory and tactual impression, their
''psychometric reactions;" that is to
say, they are required to prove that to
anything that is suddenly seen, or
heard, or felt, their minds react ac-
curately within space of time that
figures itself down to hundredths of a
second. Without this quickness of per-
in addition to iron courage and endur-
ance, the war aviator is of little use.
The apparatus of the French service
even tests the candidates sang froid
by recording his heart-beats, his color
his movement or absence of movement,
under the stress of a surprise pistol
shot fired at the back of his neck.
Then, supposing that his 'psychometric
reactions" are all right, the man must
have good knowledge of the rules of
war, of geography, of meteorology,
and other things besides. And finally
he must be willing to subject himself,
as corporal or a sergeant, to an army
discipline much severer than anything
he has ever known before. 1t is fair
to assume that the successful Ameri-
can candidate for this service has
proved his possession of the real stuff
Of manhood.

CARTOONIST'S RISE TO FAME
Louis Raemekers Probably the Best
! Known of Artists Who Teach
With the Pen.

Hidden away in an obscure studio
In a London suburb. with price upon
his head Offered by Germany Louis
Raemekers has made the whole world
shudder with his cartoons of the great
war.
A year and half ago he was an I'M
known Dutch landscape artist. To
day he is acclaimed the greatest mas
ter Of pen and pencil of the age; he
has been feted by royalty, sought by
German spies and charged with endan-
gering Dutch neutrality. BY the usu-
ally reserved and frequently skeptical
Englishman he is frankly idolized;
and all because he has pictured Ger
man Culture" and its dire effects.
His cartoons are now the rage of
the hour in New York, where an exhib-
it of originals is being given for the
benefit of the French Red Cross.
Louis Raemekers was born in Hol-
land of Dutch father and German
mother. When quite young he studied
painting and drawing in Holland and
Brussels, and before the war began
he had established local reputation
as landscape and portrait painter.
Some years ago he married Dutch
woman, and it is now said by those
who know him that he has no inter-
est outside his home, which includes
three rudy children, except to go on
with his work. The strong religious
tendency which so often characterizes
his work has brought forth the ques-
ton of what church the artist attends.
His reply is that he belongs to none,
but was brought up Catholic and his
wife Protestant, and the differences 1
which in later life severed both from
their early teaching caused them to
meet on common ground.

Whales are able to attain such an
enormous size because their bodies are
supported by the water in which they
live. A bird is limited to the weight
which it's wings can bear up in the air.
A land animal, if it becomes too large,
cannot hold it's body off the ground
or readily move about, and is doomed
to certain destruction. But a whale
has to face none of these problems
and can grow without restraint.

LITTLE PLOT THAT FAILED
Maggie's Effort to "Show Up" Mac
pherson Deserved to Succeed,
but It Didn't.


Maggie had been to an excursion
with her sweetheart Macpherson, and
on her arrival home she requested her
mother to make some tea, as she had
had nothing to eat all day, and was
famished.
Had nothing to eat p exclaimed the
astonished mother. "You dinna mean
tae tell me that Macpherson has taken
We for a trip and not gaen ye yer din

aye. that 1 dae," answered the
starving Maggie.
"Well of all the mean beasts" said
her mother, as she miniStered to Mag
gie's wants. "Gang ava round tae his
lodgin's, and gee him back the haulf
dollar he paid fur yer ticket, and that'll
show him up in front O. his landlady."
SO, after Maggie had filled the ach-
ing void, she donned her bonnet and
shawl, and set off for Macphersons
lodgings.
eff Macpherson is in, tell him l wad
like tae speak tae him." she said to
the landlady, who answered her knock.
A moment or two later Macpherson
made his appearance. Astonished to
see who his visitor was he asked what
was the matter.
There's naething the matter" said
Maggie. 81 only wanted tae gle We the
money fur ma ticket"
"HoOtS, tOOtS, Wumman, there was
nae hurry. Saturday wad ha' been soon
enough" answered Mac, pocketing the

How Fat Folks
Reduce Weight
Many Are Losing Several
Pounds a Month

Fat persons, particularly those from
ten to sixty pounds above normal
weight, will be interested to learn that
they may reduce their weight without
starvation diet or tiresome exercise.
This can best be done by getting
plenty of fresh air, by breathing deep
" and by taking a few drops of oil of
korein four times a day, also in fol-
lowing the other simple rules that
come with the box.
Oil of korein may be obtained from
any good druggist in capsule form.
Even a few days treatment is likely
to show a pleasing reduction in
weight. The step becomes lighter,
the flesh more firm. the skin smoother
in appearance; work seems easier and
more buoyant feeling takes posses
sion of the whole body and mind as
superf1uous, unhealthy fat disappears
If you are overstout and have tried
various methods of fat reduction in
vain you may now be very thankful at
having found a genuine system. It is
safe, pleasant and heaithful.-Adver-
tisement.
