MANY CHANGES IN THE
SCHOOL LAWS

mendations of State Board
of Education.

The last legislature made many i'm
portant changes in the school laws OF

cheney and service. The following sum-
mary has been compiled for the bene-
fit of school district officials and
patrons:
House Bill No. 115,-This bill
changes the upper limit of the COM
pulsory period from eighteen to six
teen years of age.
House Bill No 11S, Supplementing
Article XXIII-This bill contains two
small amendments perfecting the act
passed in 1913 to guarantee free high
high school tuition to all children of
nigh school grade in the state: (D
Authorizes the county superintendents

Attention Water Users

To the Water Users in the Emmett
Irrigation District: Water cannot
be turned into the Canyon Canal un-
til the cleaning of the canal is COM
pleted. Owing to the scarcity of labor
the Board of Directors are unable TO
secure men for this work, and the
water users must be depended on to
do it in order to make sure of an ade-
quate supply Of water. Men and
teams are needed, and if all the
farmers will get into the work the
job can be completed in short order.
We hope a prompt and general res
ponse to this call for help will be
Forthcoming.

GOVERNMENT TO REPAIR
PLACE DAMAGED BY FIRE
It's Building on 18th Street Near
D Street Will Also Be Enlarged.
Contract for Work Let.

The government-owned building on
14th street between D street and Penn
sylvania avenue damaged by fire re-
Gently is to be repaired and extended
at a cost of S55,40O.
The contract for the work has been
awarded to Washington concern,
Frank L. Wagner, 1iI3 H street. He
was the highest Of two bidders, but
the term of completion of construction
agreed 10 in his offer was much shorter
than that of his competitor and was
the dominating factor in determining
the award.
The adjoining buildings on 14th street
to D street are to be torn down, as
well as those north of the building, to
make place for the extension. The
work is to be completed by February
next.
The tearing down of the frame houses
will put out Of business there a long
established Chinese restaurant and will
mark the final stage in the passing of
what is now only memorial of O.
famous old drinking place. Dennis Null
laney's, which was conducted in the
frame building on the corner of 14th
and E streets for many years.
What government activity will be
housed in the renovated structure has
not been determined. There are many
bureaus OF the Treasury Department,
the expansion of which is giving trou-
Bile to find working space. It is as
sumed that the building will be used
as an adjunct to the Treasury Depart
ment.

WHAT A WOMAN
 PAWNS FIRST

There is scarcely anything in this wide world that a person up against it financially cant pawn, for the pawn broker is a gambler whose instincts either are acquired or born in him, and he will take chance on almost anything.
 A woman who is struggling to save her children will begin by pawning the household things The alarm clock or another kind of clock will go first Then she will sacrifice a few dishes. Maybe some of the furniture will go next. Her clothes will remain for the last, because she needs clothes in her quest for work. The best dress will be saved, if at all possible.
 Razors are most frequently pawned by men. with watches and umbrellas nearly tied for second place.
