DISCOVERING AMERICA

Patrons of travel talks and lee
lures have had an unusual expert
ence in the past year or two. Cut
off from their, European hunting
grounds, these lecturers have started
telling about and picturing the beap-
ties of the United States.
Magazine readers may have no
ticed the same thing. Writers who
found their material abroad have
started touring the United States,
and Just now the periodicals abound
in pen pictures of American cities,
American automobile tours, and
American scenic exploration.
1t probably is news to many folk
who have been abroad on the hunt
for the picturesque that this country
has the most beautiful national park
system in the world. The Depart
ment of the Interior has met with
much success in advertising this
fact. Our national parks are COM
ing into their own as national play
grounds.
Tomorrow there will begin here a
conference of wide import, the Ma
tional Park Conference. Govern
ment speakers and others from pri-
vate life will tell of the wonders and
beauties to be found within our own
borders. This conference ought to
help impress the fact that america
First" is a slogan that should have
a wider application than one merely
commercial.

PLANS BEING MADE
FOR 1917BABY WEEK
Children's Bureau Urges 1t Be
Held First Week in May,
II Possible.

Plans already are beeing made by
the Children's Bureau for the OBJ
servance OF Baby Week in 1917.
In 1916 forty-seven OF the fifty
cities with more than 100000 popula-
ton, and 700 villages and rural COM
munities with less than $500 popula-
tion had baby weeks.
In response to inquiries concerning
plans for Baby Week this year ;he
Children's Bureau has issued the fol-
lowing statement:
"Have your Baby Week from the
LIST to the 9Th of May, IL possible.
This date has been agreed upon by
the bureau and the General Fedora
lion OF Women's Clubs as the time
best adapted to the varying condi-
tions of different States.
Remember Older Babies.
Remember the older babies. A.
one woman stated It:
att requires only twelve months
for baby to become one year old and
no longer subject to the hazards OF
infant mortality" but tlscre are still
many risks for him to encounter; he
Is still absolutely helpless, although
increasingly charming9 and his pa
rents are as eager to keep him well
and happy, as DESTROYS of sound ad-
vice, as they were last year. Open
out the 1917 Baby Week to include all
children still at home with their
mothers
Remember the Mothers Well
cared for. healthy mothers are neces-
sary for the health and happiness of
their babies. Find out what your
community is doing to ensure to
every mother skilled advice and ade-
quate care before her baby Is born
and during her confinement, and give
the Importance of protecting the,
mother a prominent place in the edu-
eational work OF the campaign.
Bulletin OF Suggestions.
"And one word to communities
where infantile paralysis has been
epidemic: Mothers should be urged
to leave the. baby at home during
Baby Week. Any feature OF the cam
paign involving the bringing to-
gether of numbers of babies must, of
course, be omitted, but such features
are not essential to the interest and
success of a campaign And Baby
Week will afford an excellent oppor-
tunity for giving information as to
the proper physical training of chill;
dren with paralized muscles.
The Chlldren's Bureau has bulle-
tin of suggestions for Baby Week
campaigns which may be had upon
request, and it is now preparing a re-
vised edition describing the interest
ing new features reported from the
1916 campaigns"

TWO SIDES TO EVERYONE
Optimism Of PessImIsm Question Of
Vibration, Says Speaker.

There are two sides of every per-
son, positive and negative. The posi-
tive side is shown by optimism and
humanitariauism, while the negative
side is shown by pessimism and back
werdness. Every person is a ruler OF
his own destiny, and can make or
mar IL.
Such is the doctrine of Louise Cults
Powell, who spoke yesterday after
noon at the Portland Hotel on Fate
and Destiny" Miss Powell stated
that human vibration is an agency
through which great harm or great
good may be accomplished.
There will be a lecture Tuesday by
Miss Powell on the law OF success
vibrations. Friday she will speak on
the law of business and marriage.

Dreaming.


hate to read of millionaires,
Because such reading seems
To hypnotic me utterly
And start me dreaming dreams,
How many times I've figured out
What I'd be apt to do
II 1 were in that fellows place
And had a million, too.
OF course, I'd use my fortune well;
Nor sensibly than he,
For I'd give ten percent at Feast
To worthy charity.
Another ten per cent would go
T. To help along a few
OF my deserving relatives
Whose bills are overdue.
And then my duty to the church;
OF course, goodly share
Say, twenty-five per cent. or So
Would be devoted there.
I'D give this latter. quietly,
Insisting that my name
Must be withheld, that none might
know
Whence this donation came.
I'd only let the pastor know
He'd have to know, you see,
Because my name upon the check
Would show It was from me.
Another twenty-five per cent
Would do myself and wife;
The income we'd derive from that
Would keep us both for life.
Then, after that-well, after that
dream away and plan
To spend still other ten per cent
To help my fellowtman.
And finally my dreaming gets
A bit confused, and then
take a tumble and my feet
Touch solid earth again;
And common sense assures me as
1t stops me with a jerk,
I've wasted time enough to do
A dollars worth of work.

1t was said the other day by Qpe

there are men connected with the

at the recent dinner given to him in
this town that 1.-The time has gone

Think what the silo will mean here
after to such States as Kansas, with
its 1855, 900 900 bushels of corn, and
Georgia and South Carolina, not to
speak OF Mississippi. with its 64,00O.-
600 bushels, and other of ~the we'll
ordered Commonwealth with silo
on every farm. Senator Williams
should out of regard for the domes-
tic peace of his own bailiwick imme-
diately provide by statute for the
regulation. of the silc industry.

JUNK DEALERS MAKE
BIG MONEY THESE DAYS
Figures Show the Tremendous Profits
in Old Iron, Rubber and Other
Rubbish

/ PORTLAND - The federal govern
ment will extend its long arm even tC
the regulation of scrap iron and old
metal of all kinds, according to the OPP
inion of junk dealers here today.
The price of scrap iron has advance
ed $50 per cent in the last three years.
Metal worth no more than SIS a ton
before the war now brings $22 a ton
at Seattle rolling mills.
The dealers, while discussing prices
with no particular enthusiasm and
fearing to be quoted, do, however, give
some figures that point to a skyrocker-
ing of material quotations. Aluminium
end copper command record prices
with junk men. bringing 80 and 271a
cents pound respectively.
Some exceptions to the general rule,
however, appear. Waste paper, for in
stance, does not command the high
price of a few years ago. Magazines
and books are in poorest demand. Old
newspaper prices continue firm.
Old rubber is much lower than
year ago, due to the fact that it is i'm
possible to ship it to Germany. Ger
man manufacturers, it is said are in
possession Of secret formulas for util-
ization of old rubber stock

GOVERNOR AND SECRETARY OF
STATE BOUND FOR LEWIS
AND NE ZPERCE

Governor Alexander and Secretary
of State George Dougherty were in
the city for short time today con-
ferring with Sheriff Campbell, en-
route to Lewis and Nez Perez coun-
ties. They arrived over the Inland
road at 1870 and departd for Lewis
ton at 1896, via Northern Pacific.
While in Moscow the governor and
Mr.. Dougherty visited the detention
camp at the fair grounds, and the
governor was high in his praise of
the manner in which the l. w. w.
menace is being cared for by the
Latah County Protective association.
Governor Alexander has just COM
pleted a visit to the extreme north
ern counties of the state, and says
that although the conditions in those
communities are emproving by the
Of the citizens to protect
their interests, the results are not 80
effective as those evident in Latah
county. Governor =. Alexander ex-
poets to visit all the counties in the
northern end of the state before re-
turning to Boise where urgent mat
tiers await his attention and which
may necessitate his return to Boise
earlier than he anticipated.

ITS BRANCH
Earnest Men of That Section Organize
Auxiliary of the Latah County
Protective Association

At a mass meeting of 800 earn
est men at Potlatch last evening, a
meeting at which many of the lead
ing farmers from all that part of the
county were present, branch of the
Latah County Protective association
was formed with an initial member
ship of 1875. Assurances were given
that this would be increased to 300 or
400.
A. w. Laird presided over the meet
ing and brief addresses were deliver
ed by number of prominent men.
After Chairman Laird had set forth
the objects of the meeting Arnold S.
Lyon spoke on the duty of the hour.
He referred to the recent draft TO en-
phasize the fact that the nation is
at war and that it is coming home to
all as friends and relatives are called
to fight. He urged that just as sol
emn duty rested on those left behind
to do all in their power to help the
government.
County Commissioner John l..
Woody assured the meeting that the
commissioners were back of the law
abiding citizens of the county to the
full extent of their power and re-
souces.
j. A. Harsh told of the troubles
caused by the l. w. w. a. Deary a nd
Bovill, and T. P. Jones told of con-
ditions in the lumber camps.
William E. Lee aroused the meeting
to a high pitch of enthusiasm in a
stirring appeal to the patriotic senti-
ments of all Americans. They key
note Of his speech was that right
now every man must be back of Pres
ident Wilson or the German kaiser,
that there was no middle ground I'M
der the Stars and Stripes.
Chairman Laird reported that condi-
lions were much improved in that sec
ton of the county; that the mill was
that the fires in the timber
were under control, and that soon it
was hoped to call the men in from
fighting fires and put them at get
ing out logs again so that the output
Of the mill could be increased. He
said there was an abundance Of work
at good pay for a goodly number of
men.

MONEY IN PLANNING WISELY
Best Thoughts of Business Men Should
Be Employed for Important Busl-
ness of Laying Out Town.

1t is curious thing that business
men who would not do so much as to
1riye a nail into the wall of their Of
fee without first making sure that
there was no gas pipe or electric wire
hidden in the plaster at that point, will
1rive ahead with schemes involving
heavy expenditure of public money
without asking themselves what rela-
tionship this has with other conditions
which exist or which will materialize
in the future. Looked at in this way,
town planning is merely common
sense, prudence, such as every man
who wishes to continue solvent must
employ in his own daily work.
For instance, extensions are being
made to the car route. Is it not better
to have a thoroughgoing town-plan-
ming scheme prepared so far as 1t re-
iates to the provision of car route IA
cilities before making this one small
addition so that we may be sure that,
as things develop, this addition may be
made in the right place to fall in with
larger schemes to be developed here
after? Or again, if we are building
fire engine station, is it not better to
have the city parceled out into prop
erly balanced fire control districts, with
every existing and future fire engine
station shown in its proper relation to
the central headquarters, and in rela-
tionship to new roads which must
some day materialize, but which are
ut present unmhde, so that we be sure
that we are placing it just at the point
where the engine will most easily
reach every part of the district it is
to serve ?-Exchange
