The "Make Believe" Of Flowers.

| Cyclamen like to pretend they are
cross little animals with their ears laid
back. or else that they are little fugi-
tive maidens fleeing very fast across
the meadows, with their lair blown
back from their lovely faces. Their
whimsical trick of play acting like this
is ali part of their quaint mirth.
They have, of course, other attributes
as well-beauty and spirituality and
love- Love | feel with flowers particu-
larly. | seem TO get hold of that eX-
quisite sense of the whole worlds be-
ing wrapped in the essence of Gods
love more often through flowers than
through anything else. They are to
me indescribably dear, merry little
companions. My affection goes out to
them constantly in deep, happy rev.
erence. The reverence is not only for
the lovely little things themselves, but
also for the wonder that is back Of
them-an ecstasy Of worship-Atlan-
tic.

Throughout the entire system of ed
ucation in our country, at private and
public institutions, alike. stress is laid
upon athletics to a degree that some
times indicates a tendency to exalt
the athlete above the student While
this may be tranSitory in it's nature
so far as it affects the individual, it
is likely to leave something of perma
nent effect on the school itself. Ira
ditions are part Of student life, and
form a potent agency whose infiu-
ence on campus activities is beyond
computation. Educators recognize
this and now and again have been
called upon to put forth considerable
effort to neutralize the bent of the
young mind to hero worship. Some
times this restriction swings a little
too far and the school suffers in de-
gree just as the restrictive measures
are made unduly stringent.

PLANTING FRUIT TREES.
Care Should Be Taken Not to Set the
Roots Too Deep In Soil.

| Care Should Be AIKEN Not to Set t1a
Roots Too Deep In Soil.
The beginner In tree planting usually
sets his trees too deep rather than toe
shallow in the relatively heavy soils of
ment of horticulture of the University
of Missouri says.
young trees should be selected for
planting, and they should be set at the
same depth at which they stood in the
nursery, Mr.. Written said. Trees
turn to the northeast and grow crooked
because of the warm south and south
west winds during the growing season.
The tree should be set with the heavier
side to the southwest to avoid this.
1.-THE roots should be trimmed SO as.
not to be cramped and any ragged
wounds taken off Peach trees should
be pruned most severely after planting
of any of the orchard fruits. Trim all
branches off, leaving a single whip;
then shorten the whip to a height of
about two and one-half feet. Cherry
trees should be less severely trimmed.
If well branched the center of the tree
should be cut out. The japanese plum
tree should be shaped like the peach.
Other plum, apple and pear trees, hav-
ing only single whip, should be treat
ed likewise. Older trees may be treat
ed like the cherry. with the exception
that all branches may be shortened to
one-half or one-third of their natural
length

A crippled English soldier. perma-

ROAD SCHOOL MERITS PRAISE

The good roads school closed today
1t was decided success in every way,
the only regretable feature being that,
like many other meetings held at the
university, it was necessary to hold
sessions in the daytime, making it
practically impossible for business
men and citizens to attend and reap
the benefit of the experiences of the
experts brought to Moscow by the uni
.versity.
That the statement concerning the
success Of the school is not 3vcrcon-
hdenuy made is evident from the
praise given the school by DR.. L. J.
Hewes of the United States office of
public roads, who was the principal
speaker and whose duties as chief en-
9ineer for the federal govern ment call

Tho ORIGINAL Macaroni.

Macaroni, which is now being strong.
ly recommended as a cheap and sas:
tanning food, is not at all what its
name implies, for maccheroni, as Ital-
fans spell it, means a mixture, and at
first was one. the ingredients being
butter, cheese and flour. But today
macaroni is the name for the fa-
miliar tubes which are compounded Of
hard Italian wheat and water alone.
1t was therefore from the original
meaning of the word that macaroni
poetry, in which Latin is blended with
vernacular, derived it's name.-Lon-

way districts through which the
roads pass. The local divisions pay
two-thirds of the construction cost,
the state one-third. In order that con-
struction work could be continued
during 1916 after the states available
funds were exhausted, several coun-
ties have advanced funds for the pay
ment of the states share of the cost
Topographic and soil condition vary
to such an extent in different parts
of the state that l cannot give close
figures on the average cost per mile
of standard road bed. In some parts
of the southern section of the state,
the cost per mile has been as low as
$500, while some work in North Idaho
average $4,000 per mile, and for a
short distance reached $4,000.
Practically all work has been done
by contract. One of the most import
ant single pieces of construction has
been carried on upon the Uniontown
hill near Lewiston. The former grade
was about five miles long and had
grades as high as 20 per cent The |
new state highway nearly doubles |
the length but reduces the grade to five
per cent. At points of maximum
curvature the roadway is made "a
feet wide.
Idaho is barely on the threshold of
highway construction but the pros
poets of receiving aid have given the
good roads movement an impetus
which will undoubtedly result in great
Kings for the state, and we hope
hat at no distant day Idaho roads,
n comparison with the traffic require
nents will be equal to those of any
,ther section of the country.

GROW COIORED COTTON
TO SOLVE DYE PROBLEM

Admission, Ala, Jan. 15.--Coun-
Gilman Claude j. Settles. of this city,
is exhibiting samples OF brown cot
ton, which he believes, if it can be
grown successfully on large scale,
will in a measure solve the German
dye problem in this country.
The cotton exhibited by Settles was
not dyed brown, but grew that color
in his back yard OH Glen Addie av-
enue, and nature made it fast
brown, for no amount OF boiling or
washing changed its color the least
bit, he says. A small bale of blue
cotton, from similar seed, was raised
this year northwest of Admission. This
is also washable and the fiber Of
both brown and blue was of medium
length.

ecious since yesterday, when he laps
cd into coma still believing that in
n few DAYS he would be back at his
desk in the Navy Department.
A general breakdown accompanied
by arterio sclerosis incident to old
age was the cause of death. The
disease had been gradually spreading
it's hold upon the powerful body for
q year and a half, but the Admiral,
proud of his physical vigor, had
fought 1t off and even kept its eX-
istenee secret from most OF his
intimate friends. Last Wednesday
ne was at his Office apparently hale
and hearty. The next day he col
lapsed as he was preparing to leave
the house. and the beginning of the
end was at hand.
Mrs. Dewey and the AdmiraIs on

tonight. They had known since
yesterday there was no hope.

The Admiral died at 5:56 O'Clock.
President Wilson and Secretary Dan
ieis were notified at once and the
news was flashed by wireless to

carried orders that all flags be half
nasted.
The body will be buried Saturday
at Arlington national cemetery on

where many of Admiral Dewey's for
