One feature of the election, how
ever seems by no means creditable.
and that is the fact that not one voter
in ten was sufficiently interested to
cast a ballot at all. This is partially
accounted for by the fact that the
polls were only kept open four of the
busiest hours of the day-from / to
. o'clock d. m. 1t is certain that there
was no intention to keep voters away
from the polls; but if such had been
the case no more effective scheme
could have been devised. AT all
events. if the polls were opened at
9 or 10 o'clock in the morning kept
open through the noon hour and un-
til at least o'clock p. M, the busy
professional or business man, and es-
pecially the laboring man, whose
time is not his own, would have no eX-
cuse for non-vOting; and in many, if
not most cases, the vote could be cast
en- route to or from work and an extra
trip avoided.
AS matter of fact-and it is a fact
in which we Americans take pardon
able pride-no regular and ordinary
administrative expense comes near
drawing so heavily upon the revenues
raised by taxation. as does the main
tenance of our public schools. And
upon the other hand, we rightly and
righteously regard the education and
discipline of our children as of the
very first and greatest Importance.
Why, then, should so small interest be
shown in the selection of those to
whom is committed the entire direc-
ton of this great purpose and large
expenditure?
These reflections are made upon
general principles and absolutely
without reference to or regard for To-
cal conditions or events. It is much
the same everywhere as a rule. Again
and again has the election of a school
board been known to become nothing
but a struggle between banks as to
the place of deposit for the school
funds. Fortunately nothing of that
kind appears in Twin Falls. But, just
the same, a more general interest
should be taken in the matter; and
the board of directors if within their
discretion as it appears to be, should
fix the hours of opening and closing
the polls in such a way as would in
vite and facilitate the largest posi-
BILE vote.

Half Your Living
Without Money Cost

A right or wrong start in 1917 will
make or break most farmers in the
South. We are all facing a crisis.
This war in Europe puts things in
such uncertainty that no man can
foresee the future with any degree Of
clearness.
The sure and certain increase in
cotton acreage means lower cotton
prices next fall. Cost Of all food and
grain products Is high, SO high that
no one can afford to buy and expect
to pay out with cotton.
It's a time above all others to play
safe: to produce all possible food,
grain and forage supplies on your
own acres; to cut down the store bill.
A good piece of garden ground,
rightly planted, rightly tended and
kept planted the year round, can be
made to pay half your living. It will
