neighbors are the same big
hearted, fair minded, good inten-
toned, quick tempered, impul-
sive sinners they always were; /;
ever ready to apologize, forgive
and forget when the contentious
are systematically brought be-
fore them; in fact just like them
selves. They think the more of
each other, and pull together
better than ever before for hav-
ing had their little misunder-
standing, and thereby getting
better acquainted with one an
other. A common result is
they celebrate their reunion by
planning and carrying out some
scheme for the betterment of the
neighborhood.
All during the spring months
the Orton Methodist Sunday
School aroused little neighbor-
hood interest. Oft times there
were hardly sufficient scholars
present to carry out the Sunday
program. One week part of the
members made up their minds
they ought to move the Sunday
School to the Upper Farm school
house. They carried their point,
leaving a wrathy feeling among
the dissenting members, who
proceeded the next Sunday to
organize Union Sunday School
at the old stand. OF course a
keen rivalry sprang up between
the two schools to see which
could gain the larger attendance
the members of each prophe-
sying the complete downfall of
the other. OF course at first the
rivalry had a little Of bitterness
toward one another mingled
with 1t. But time has, as usual,
eroded the feeling away and a
friendly rivalry which tends well
to keep up the interest in both
Sunday Schools has sprung up
in its stead, and today instead
of one little Insignificant Sun
day School with probably a doz-
en- pupils present, they have two
wide awake schools with a
combined attendance of sixty to
seventy scholars. Gangles that
end in such a glorious manner
are what We like to see in all
communities. But of course we
wouldn't start one and take our
chances on it's ending properly.
Sunday, August. 5th, The Rev.
Moore, elder of the Methodist
Church preached at the Upper
Farm school house. His sermon
on the subject, Faith, fairly
glittered with gems of deep well
worded thoughts that kept even
the children interested from the
beginning to the end. If the
people of the surrounding coun-
try had had an mixing of what
they were going to miss the
building would not have held the
crowd that would have been
there.
The Union Sunday School at
the Orton school house had the
big attendance Of thirty-seven
pupils whose lusty voices in sing
ing the hymns could be heard "a
mile away.
Next Sunday it is possible the
Rev. Searles will preach at the
Orton school house where the
people always welcome him.

ABOUT IDEAS, NOT A
SAYS
BY CHARLES EDWARD RUSSELL
Washington, March Zone thing
sure, most sOlemnly and soberly
sure-war between the United States
and Germany will be no quarrel be-
tween nations about the sinking Of
ships or the breaking of some rule
Of the war game.
1t will be a struggle between ideas,
between conceptions Of civilization
and of government, between great,
vital fundamental principles Of eX-
istence.
The ship sinking may be TALKED
about; the struggle between ideas
will be the thing FOUGHT about.
The covert act'' that will precipi-
tate the struggle will be exactly like
the shooting of the Austrian arch
duke. It will be the signal to begin,
but the war is on already and has
been on for ages, and it is not in the
power of any nation, however much
it may love peace, to sidestep that
conflict.
The ideas of government and of
civilization held by the people of the
United States can never by any pos
sibility jibe with the ideas of govern
ment and of civilization held by Ger
many.
The two can never exist side by
side in the same world. They are abb
soluteIy irreconciIabIe and always
will be. There can no more be peace
between them than there can be
peace between freedom and slavery,
fire and water, right and wrong.
There can be no compromise pos
sibIe between them; there is no mid
die ground. One or the other will
dominate, and whichever dominates
will in the end suppress the other.
This world cannot possibly exist

BOUT SINKING SHIPS
EDWARD RUSSELL
One Of the strangest things ever
known is the trance some Americans
seem to be in about the nature and
the issues of the European war.
One of our neighbors, say, is a
GeTman-American. We see his quiet,
well-ordered life and rather attrac-
tive ways and we say a nation of such
men must be a pretty good thing.
What's the kick about it?
But this man doesn't represent the
German government He doesn't re-
fleet it nor resemble it, and that is
the first point in the whole tremen-
dOus drama.
The German government does not
represent the German people.
The first great base for everything
in our scheme of civilization is the
faith that governments derive their
powers from the consent of the gov
erned. The great foundation stone
OF the German government is that it
derives its powers and all of them
from QlVlne TlghL.
What follows from our basic faith
is that the people are the first con-
sideratiOn.
What follows from the German
governments theory is that the peo-
pie are so many instruments to full
fill and uphold the will of deity as
expressedfn the person of the kaiser
that deity has provided to rule.
Under the operation of this theory
there is, of course, and can be no
such things as one inherent human
right
What people have is not rights, but
privileges allowed by the divine vice
regent and to be recalled at his
pleasure.
Wherever the German government
goes it carries this idea, for it has

earlier period more than 10000, 900

country in either of the past two
years.
France has become far greater
factor in the taking of American cop

commodity. Last year, for instance,
there was cleared from American
ports for France 336,S29,464 pounds

Germany in 1913.

3l5,000,000 pounds in 1915, and 304,-
100000 pounds in 1914. Chile and

True. as our correspondent says, we

do not, while other nations are not yet

If necessary.

oLo.TlME HOSPITALITY.
Unexpected Guests Not Welcome in
American Homes.

(Irish World)

Hospitality seems to be almost 6
lost art in the present age. The days
when the unexpected stranger at the
door was hidden in to eat and SLEEP
are past. In some parts of the west
however, one still finds that open
the host and his wife are always GLAD
to welcome any traveller who happens
to come to their door. But the mod
ern housewife of the east is almost
unacquainted with impromptu enter
tanning She must be forewarned in
plenty of time before she will even at
tempt to dine friend.
1t is rather pity that this highest
form Of hospitality should be allowed
to die out. After all. it is not much
of "A tax on ones hospitality to enter
lunch when the invitation has been
given week or so in advance Any
woman can do that kind of enter
tanning with ample time for prepara-
ton.
But ones true metal as a hostess is
shown when friend arrives uneX-
pectedy for lunch or when the man OF
the house turns up with business
acquaintance or two for dinner That
Is a sort of a situation which tests the
real value of ones hospitality, and
unfortunately, very few housewives
rise to such occasions at all success
fully.
Don't let impromptu hospitality die
out in your home. Encourage your
husband to bring his friends home for
dinner and your daughter to bring her
girl chums to lunch. Keep stock of
canned goods always ready on your
shelves and supply of clean table
linen in your closet for such occa-
sions.

MES that senate bill No. lbs by Grant

The bill was recommended by the
mine inspector in his annual report

senate and comes up on the calendar

According to the mine inspector,
there is much school land in north
Idaho which is timbered. but is too
rough for agricultural purposes. He
says the land contains some mineral
deposits, but that since the law pro-
hibits their being prospected, it is i'm
possible to determine their value. It
is further pointed out by Bell that it
has always been the policy of the
state in making selections to take
either agricultural or timber lands.

bricks and the treater or series of

its present capacity This Will give it
a daily capacity of $4,000 bricks.
Work is to start at once on the
brick plant and also on" the new stack

15o feet south of the old one and it
viii be necessary first to get water
and compressed air there. as the place
is above anything on the hill, Trac-
ton lines, and other preliminary work
will also be necessary before the ac-

haps a little longer before the new
Improvement will be ready for Use.
The plans for the treaters and the
stack are completed. When the
buildings are in place the old stack
will be bulkheaded and the smoke
diverted to two large tubes. The
old flue will take the smoke past the

through which it win pass before it
is emitted into the stack. The Treat
