 An old fel1er come up to me and sez he, You're a likely lookin chap, he says; 'wanter learn how to read and write? And l says, Yes you bet He was a professor from out east for his | health, and he'd started school. Well, l rode in from the ranch 15 miles every morntn' and out again at night for whole year for my schoolin

I read the Bible fore and aft, inside out, upside down, and seven ways from the jack. read some histry books I found around. read almanacks and geographies and books on cattle diseases. I read every l thing I could get my hooks on. And I started thinking about things. Specially about the Bible and religion.

 Moses begging his pardon, knew how to do more spectacular tricks than all the rest put together.

CHICKEN cRoQUETTEs


The chicken croquette is a mon
grel mixture miscalled food. It wears
a sawdUst mask to hide its real iden-
tity.
Chicken crOquette is just a res
taurant pTOprietOr's excuse for using
up scraps he would otherwise throw
away. There's about as much chick
en- in it as there is in a chunk of
chilled steel. It is a gloriied hash
Of the worst type.
It sits around in cones, looking like
a Fourth of July snake. You know,
the kind you touch a match to and
the snake boils out.
But don't ever try to boil anything
out of chicken croquette. The
chances are ten to one you'll pro-
duce worse things than snakes.
The chicken croquette is enough
to make a self-respecting hen asham-
ed of herself.

Deny Railroads a Raise.

The application of the larger rail
roads of this state for a Is per cent
horizontal freight rate increase was
denied Saturday by the Idaho Pub
lie utilities commission.
The refusal to permit the larger
carriers to increase their freight
rates is based by the commission on
the grounds their respective reve-
nues are much greater than their op-
erative expenses.
"The commission feels that the
worldwide phenomenon of rising
prices is by this time no novelty"
says the commission in its order and
opinion.
"Since 1906 prices have been stead
lily rising. This gradual rise has
mirrored itself in the present cost
of living. This rise in the price
level must eventually be reckoned
with in railroading. For time its
effect may be overcome by increases
in the volume of traffic and econo-
mics practiced by the railroads.
"a large number of industrial en-
terprises are making enormous re-
turns, and unless railroad returns
bear some reasonable relationship
to the returns from these enterpris-
es it will be very difficult to secure
capital for railroad investment"
The decision of the commission
is unanimous.

"PREXY" HELPS IN
A BATTING RALLY
Faculty Trim Seniors on Porter
Field, Score "A to s
Mcfarland and Lanaston are the
Faculty Pitchers, Holllstsr
for Senlora

Undoubtedly - like the walrus - the
faculty hated to do it, but the cruel fact
remains that on Porter Field last Satur.
day afternoon they trimmed the seniors
10 a tune of Ia to 8 and even President
Thomas had a hand in the nefHrious
work. Though this is not the place for
editorial comment, The Register cannot
refrain from saying that il seems a
little hard for the seniors to get filled
with their Presidents Commencement
inspiration for success in life and then
to have it all knocked out of them
by the faculty at the tune of Ia to &.
But II seems to be a cruel delight of
the faculty TO administer Just such
drubbng to each succeeding class, and
true to tradition they did it most prop.
erly this year.
Ben Stewart, II, took out some add.
tlonal life insurance policies and UNI
pred the contest. His precaution may
have been thought uncalled for, but
there is no doubt that both sides took
the argument seriously, II looked bad
for Mcfarland, the one-time famous
Amherst pitcher, when HOLSTER, the
second senior up, drove out home run,
the circuit being made while the Greek
and Philosophy Departments (Burrage
and Cunningham cantered toward the
center field fence for the ball. But in
the faculty half of the inning, King,
assistant to DR., Thomas, got his share
of Commencement degrees, a b. H.,
and two S. BIS, (meaning base hit and
two stolen bases and he scored on
Langston's single. Each team scored
in the second
In the third, however, prospects for an
old fashioned batting fest and a good
trimming for the "has- beens" was in
sight. The heavy cannonading by
Towne, HOLSTER, Harrison, Damon and
Danolds, resulting in six runs, gave
Captain Robinson a cue to pull out his
veteran and put Langston into the box.
The Caroinian held the seniors to three
hits and one run for the remaining
four innings.
The faculty nearly evened up by bat
ting out four runs in their half In the
fifth President Thomas replaced Bur
rage, receiving great applause from the
fans. He drove the first ball pitched to
center field driving in run and making
the circuit by clever base running. The
rally and the one in the final inning put
the faculty ahead with no fear of being
overtaken.

lowed, DR.. Thomas making brief pre-
sentation addresses in the customary
Latin. 1t was one of the largest classes
in the history of the college, numbering
