An Eastern View Of Ant. Japanese
Legislation in Idaho.

Poor Idaho! The state Is being
lambasted and laughed at in many
part sof the country, says the States
man. To say that there is something
ludicrous and unfair in eastern esti-
mates and views Of conditions In this
state does not alter the fact that
some of the antics OF Idaho's present
legislature have brought the state
much unenviable publicity. The Bos-
ton Advertiser says:
"The anti-Japanese bill recently in
PRODUCED into the Idaho legislature
and later withdrawn at the urgent
solicitation Of the president, has
again been called up by group of
demagogues. 1t Is unfortunate that
crowd of trouble makers could be able
to put the whole nation in danger of
an unnecessary war simply because
they believe they can gain some little
local prestige by posing in the lime
light. 1t is weakness OF our system
of government that crowd of self
seekers in any state can embroil the
whole national without any constitu-
tional check upon such foolIshness."

A Strange Case.

rate and is now more than six feet
tall although she is only II years old,
is interesting the physicians of Johns
Hopkins hospital, who expect to see
her become giantess, without loss
of normal mental powers. For the
last three years the girls growth has
been phenomenal, surprising all rec
ords at the hospital and cases known
to the scientists there who are study
ing giatnism. Until she was years
old she was simply large girl. She
now weighs 117h pounds and is
above the average in intellect. DR..
William Thayer and DR.. Lewellys
Barker, professors of clinical medicine
have made study of the case. The
girls mother is stout and her father
is larger than most men, but is not a
giant.

SAGE BRUSH OIL.
Bureau of Mines Is Giving Expert
ments Serious Attention.

Sufficient merit has been shown in
the use of sage brush Oil as a flotation
agent to convince the bureau of mines
that additional research may profit
ably be undertaken In the study of
The properties of this oil. Work along
this line has been conducted for some
time at the Salt Lake City station of
the bureau Of mines. Dorsey Lyon,
who recently has gone from the Salt
Lake city station to Seattle to take
charge of the new mine experiment
station there, has been instructed to
give sage brush oil particular atten-
ton. He is cooperating with Prof. G.
H. Clevenger the consulting metal
lIrgist of the bureau who Is stationed
lat Palo Alto. Cal. That the sage
brush oil problem is being considered
very seriously by the bureau of mines
is indicated by the fact that Van H
Manning, the director, and F. G. Cot
trell the chief metalurgist, have
giving the matter personal attention
recently.

Children and Trees.

! (From the Country Gentfeman).
Every child should own a tree. A
tree is symbol of life. 1t lives. 1t
stands for everything that is noble.
1T is rooted in the soil and stretches
itself toward heaven. 1t stands for
patience, humility, persistence. beauty,
courage and God. The child should
plant the tree himself and thereafter
watch 1t grow year by year. He
should put his hands on its rough
bark and say. This is my tree. I will
stand by it. and live up to it,"
1t is curious how blind we some
times are to certain ideals because we
cannot see and handle them. We
need something to connect us with
the invisible but none the less potent
and formulative world or aspiration
and inspiration. What could be better
than tree?
There is something about the silent
beauty of tree that casts over US a
spell of calmness and invincibility
The storms of life may sway us and
break our branches; the grim and
melancholy autumn may strip us OF
our brilliance, but the spring will come
once more and clothe us in a new
glory. So we go on fulfilling the
majesty of the law
If your child owns a tree the mem
DRY of it's beneficient influence will
cling to him through life.
