BOISE, Feb. 10.-To the Editor
the Herald: Deeming it of interest
to your readers, am sending you
herewith a short statement in regard
to the cause, present conditions and
future prospects of the much talked
the governors message with its re-
stricted policy as to an appropria-
ton for the states educational insti-
tutions caused the members of the
house to wonder if he really meant
to carry out this short-sighted pol
icy. In the second place Findley
who is chairman of the committee
on educational institutions, at a
meeting of this committee and while
considering these bills jumped over
the traces and stated the university
should be moved to Boise. Repre-
sentative Daughters at once took up
the issue with Findley and told him
that the northern part of the state
is paying about &c per cent of the
states taxes and would brook no
change in the location of the uni
versity. No doubt Findley, who
fathered the measure to move the
university, has been chosen as the
goat" as we all believe he did so
at the instigation of the governor.
The next morning following this
committee meeting Findley intro
duced a resolution asking for the
removal of the university. The res
olution was referred to the reference
committee which held the bill, pend
ing results, knowing we were busy.
And by the way, things began to
assume a serious aspect for the cap
ital. If the south and north went
together Pocatello wanted the cap
ital. Then matters took on a diff
ferent aspect.
The conference committee reported
that the bill to move the university
be not printed, whereupon Findley
moved that the bill be printed. II
would require 25 votes to carry the
motion and 1T was lost.

BUSINESS FIRM
MAKES CHANGE
H. o. Jackson Retires From Bonner
Supply Co.-lnterests Taken Over
by W. L. and w. F. Kinnear
PLAN TO INCREASE STOCK
Will Form Closed Corporation Capital
lied at SIS.

That w. F. Kinner had purchased
the interests of H. o. Jackson in
the Bonner Supply company, one of
the largest mercantile establishments
of this city, was made public yes
terday when Mr.. Kinner assumed
the complete management of the
business. The firm name will re-
main the same.
AS soon as the details can be
worked out Mr.. Kinnear and his
father, w. L.. Kinnear, will form a
stock company capitalized at $4,000
and the business of the Boomers Sup
ply company will be handled as a
closed corporation. Under this plan
w. F. Kinnear will remain as the
active head of the business and he
plans to increase the stock of gro
ceries and hardware now carried as
well as to add new lines, this with
view of placing the store in a
position where it can better serve
the demands of its patrons.
Mr.. Jackson has no definite plans
for the future. He has been in poor
health for some time and this was
his reason for retiring from bust
ness. Mr.. Jackson and his wife have
hosts of friends in this county who
are all hoping that they will not de-
eide to leave permanently,
The new owners of the Bonner
Supply company have been in bust
ness in this district for many years
and both have enviable records as
successful merchants.
w. l.. Kinnear first engaged in
business in Bonners Ferry in the
spring of 1891 when he organized
the Bonner Mercantile company and
put in a stock of dry goods, hard
ware, and groceries. In 1909 Mr..
Kinnear sold his stock of groceries
and hardware to A. C. Moore and
H. O. Jackson and the dry goods
department to the Bonner Dry Goods
company. Then in 1911 Moore and
Jackson resold the hardware stock
to Kinnear who organized the Bon
ner Hardware company.
In 1912 Mr.. Kinnear sold the Bon
ner Hardware store to his sons, w.
F. Kinnear and Harry Kinnear and
for several years he was out of the
active management of a mercantile
stock buying the interests of w. B.
| Hawkins in the w. B. Hawkins &
Co., banking institution. The Farm
ers & Lumbermans First State Bank
was then organized as the First
National Bank of Bonners Ferry Mr..
Kinnear resigned as president of the
institution a few months ago.
w. F. Kinnear has been associated
with his father in most of the lat
ter's mercantile organizations and
in 1914 assumed active management
of the Bonner Hardware. His bro
Their, Harry Kinnear, has also been
associated with his fathers organiza-
tions in this city for many years.
w. L. Kinnear and his sons have
been more than successful in past
years in the management of various
business enterprises. 1t has been the
policy of the Kinnear stores to deal
fairly in every way and they have
always been liberal in the support
of public enterprises. The return
of w. l.. Kinnear into active bust
ness life will be welcomed in the
county and the many friends of the
newly organized company wish it
unlimited success.

Rescue Pigeons From a Cat.

Sometimes the crow may be suspect
ed of being altruistic. Not long ago
Hartford Courant man saw four of the
birds in a tree watch a cat which was
stalking a pair of pigeons in a field
near by. The cat came near enough to
it's quarry so that it crouched for a
spring, when one of the crows leisurely
glided out of the tree and swooped
down to within foot of the cats head.
The cat was surprised and the pigeons
were warned and moved on little.
Once more the cat made a forward
movement, and another crow dipped
oversit and said few things which its
predecessor had overlooked. That end
ed the cats pigeon hunt for the day.
The crows were safe at every stage of
the game, but no one knows whether
they took a hand in it through liking
for the pigeons or dislike for the cat

MAN SHOULD LIVE 100 YEARS
That He Usually Reaches Only Half or
Three-Quarters That Age Is His
Own Fault, 1t Is Declared.

Sickness and death have always ex-
listed in the world and always will so
long as mans physical constitution re-
mains what it is. The body is evident
ly intended to last only certain time,
although man himself has unquestion-
ably greatly shortened the length of its
durance. The limit of threescore years
and ten, set by the Psalmist, deprives
US of many years that are our due.
Students of longevity have estab-
lished the rule that the animal body,
including mans, should endure, barring
accident, five times as long as it takes
it to reach full maturity as marked by
the complete ossifcation of the bones.
In man that period is about twenty
years, and man should, therefore, live
to round out century. That he usual
ly lives only a half or three-quarters
as long is his fault and the fault of his
ancestors.
A French writer once asserted that
man is as old as his arteries, meaning
that the degenerative changes of old
age were dependent upon or measur-
able by the degree of hardening of the
arteries. That is undoubtedly true to
certain extent, but epigrams do not
solve problems or even explain facts.
1t affords slight comfort to know that
we are as old as our arteries if we do
not know how to prevent them from
aging prematurely.
Fortunately we do know many of
the causes of the presenile degenera-
ton that cuts us off before our time.
-Heredity counts for much. Some fam
lilies are long-lived; in others, most or
all of the members die young. That
sounds hopeless, yet we can do much
by hygienic living to lengthen our days
even if we come of a short-lived fam
lily. More than that, we can transmit
to our descendants a still higher de-
gree of stamina. The other causes of
early aging may be summed up in the
one word excess-overwork, mental or
physical, worry, overeating and even
oversleeping. Moderation (not INSULT
ciency) in all things-eating, drinking
working, playing, sleeping-is the Sc
cret of health and longevity.-Youth's
Companion.

HARVEST WHEAT YEAR ROUND
Some Part of the World Is Engaged in
Cutting the Grain at Every Sea-
son Of Year.

All through the year wheat is be-
ing harvested. In January it Is being
cut in the great fields of the Argen-
tine and in New Zealand. In Febru-
ary and March it is cut in the East
Indies and Egypt. The wheat fields
are harvested in April in Cyprus, Asia
Minor, Persia and Cuba, and in May
in China and Japan. June is the busi-
est month of the whole year, for then
Turkey, Greece, Spain and southern
France, as well as most Of the south
ern states of America, are all cutting
wheat.
The more northerly states of Ameri,
ca, as well as Austria, Germany and
parts of Russia, do their harvest gath
ering in July. August sees the wheat
crop gathered in Great Britain, and
September and October for Sweden
and Norway. Peru and South Africa
are busy harvesting in November and
December.

stepped in amid his musings as If pur-

She looked animated, her eyes were
sparkling, her cheeks were suffused
with exercise. Her breath came quick.
She wore a waterproof, and as she
threw back it's hood and shook off the

some beauteous fairy amid a shower
of crystal. The girl made him out be-
yond the show case.

Ned proceeded back behind the pre-

kept his customer in admiring sight
rs long as possible. Then, shielded
from those timid but bright eyes, he
glanced again over the prescription.
Ned was not registered pharma-
cist, but he had studied Latin and
chemistry. There were two compo-
nents of the prescription that were
familiar enough-soda and ''aqua
quantum subject" There was third
ingredient named, however, that puz-
5led him. A pencfled word represent
ing it had been blurred by rain and
pressure. 1t looked like "cap-gum.' ~
"Capsules?' studied Ned-hardly
"No, it isn't gum either. What can

The Garden a Medicine Chest.

Every man who has kitchen garden
has medicine chest in his back yard,
although he probably has not seriously
looked upon it as such. In the onion.
for example, he has sulphur oil which
gives the onion it's reputation as rem
edy for insomnia and which some ply
sicians hold is a valuable anodyne for
rheumatic" pains. There are certain
oils in turnips and parsnips that have
aperient and diuretic properties. There
is solanin in the potato, and spinach
contains iron. Cabbage is highly re-
garded as a preventive and corrective
of scurvy and scrofula. The compost
ton of the tomato is chemically so sub
tie that it is not yet fully understood,
although several active principles have
been isolated and names have been CIV
en- to them. Thus the man who eats
freely of vegetables is taking medicine
without paying for prescription and
without being bothered by the high
cost of drugs. In the normal individu-
al the instructive appetite automatical-
ly regulates the size of the "dose." -
