"The Children's Year" by the Federal
Children's Bureau Of the United States.
That bureau is a regular division Of
the Government Department of Labor,
with offices i'm Washington. The bureau
was established by Congress in 1912,
with an annual appropriation of a few
thousand dollars. to collect information
and take such other measures as come
within the province of Government de-
partment, for the protection of chIIu-
life In the United States. Now Con-
gress has set aside a very much larger
appropriation to carry out this sug-
gestion of the bureau, that a great ma
tional campaign be carried out through
this coming year for the welfare of
babies and school children.
What is it that is hoped to be au-
complshed during this year? First, and
especially. that the lives of 100000
babies shall be saved. Every year 900 =
00O babies die in this country At least
100000 of these lives could be saved,
If the mothers and the fathers and the

EDITORS HAVE AN ENJOYABLE
BANQUET AS CLOSING FEATURE
OF MEETING
!. BUY w. S. S.

One of the most enjoyable features
of the publishers association was the
banquet, which closed the two days
meetings Saturday night. The ban
quet was held in the Guild hall of the
Episcopal church, where two long ia
bles were fully occupied. The splend-
id feed was served by the ladies of the
guild and was deserving of the praise
given it by those fortunate enough to
be guests.
President Hugo, of the Chamber of
Commerce, presided and introduced Dr.
E. H. Lindley, president Of the Uni
versity Of Idaho, as postmaster, and
DR.. Lindley filled the position in a
pleasing manner. Following were
the toasts:
George Barker, "How I Saved the
State 1899, 999.99" Senator R. H. Stew
enson, my Adopted Child, House Bill

j. Jenkins, bursar of the university,
was called upon for description OF
the methods of handling the funds OF
the university, which he explained in
detail to the publishers that they
might know the facts, in the light of
the controversy started at Boise over
the funds. Bursar Jenkins report
was one of the most complete imagin-
able and showed that there is no pos
sible chance for any of the funds. to
be misappropriated or spent for any
object but that for which it was in
tended. Dean Iddings delivered
splendid but brief talk on the work of
the agricultural department and re-
ceived an ovation. H. G. Shaver, for
merly of Moscow, reviewed the past
and gave some interesting history of
earlier days.
1t was after II o'clock when Pres
ident Lindley in a neat speech babe
the editors goodnight and requested
them to come to Moscow whenever OPP
portunity presents itself. The editors
praised Moscow's hospitality, lauded
the schools and the university and de-
clared they had had one of the best
times of their busy lives.
