HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

The Jerome schools will open again
when the authorities consider 1t safe
to do So
All teachers who have not taught
in Idaho before are required to take
the state examination in Idaho civil
government, school laws, and Idaho
course of study and methods of tea
ching. This means that two teachers
in the high school and two in the
rural schools of Jerome will need
write on the examination December
81.
In his new home, to which he-has
moved recently, Professor Snodgrass
has several pieces of furniture, the
products of the manual training work
of the high school.
Several teachers and many stu
dents, both boys and girls, of the
high school. have helped in apple
picking, beet-topping, potato-digging
haying and other delayed farm work
during vacation.
The Jerome high school has stacks
of books and materials ordered by
students who changed their minds
about taking such work or going tc
school. Much of such material. such
as bookkeeping, cannot be used again
There are cases of persons start

Coffee Substitutes in Denmark.

For months coffee has been almost
understandable in Denmark. When any
is to be had ii sells for as much as
S. a pound. This naturally has stimu-
lated the production of coffee substi-
tutes. 1t is now reported that about
1900 tons of various kinds of raw
materials have lately been used for
making these substitutes. One report
says that 5000 tons of acorns. 1900
tons of dandelion. 1,600 tons of chicory
and $500 tons of sugar beets have
been roasted. ground up, and sold for
coffee substitutes. Acorus sell for
about L. cents pound.

RAINS HELP INDIAN VILLAGE
Good Rice Crops Grown in Abundant
Moisture and Region Is Noted
for Good Cattle.

Sylhet is city in the most curious
part of India-the great, low lying,
jungly, flooded, tea and rice districts
of the far Southeast. Sylhet tea is
known all over the peninsula.
So low do these regions lie that the
heavy rains of the rainy season result
in their being flooded for many months
of the year. Though far inland, after
the rains this is literally sea, where
all travel is by boat and even ships of
some size can navigate. The torren-
tial downpours flood the lower parts of
the country to a depth of many feet.
There is one little village at the base
of the Khasia hills which had a meas
ured rainfall of 60 feet in one year,
an exchange says.
The villages of this curious district
about Sylhet are set on the crest Of
hills. After the rains fall they are is
lands. The people are very expert
boatmen and the children can swim
almost as soon as they can walk.
This is probably the only part of In
dia where the canoe is in use. A craft
not unlike the American is manufac-
tured by following out tree trunk
very thin. Larger canoes, propelled
by 20 paddles, are made in the same
way, and canoe racing is one of the
principal sports.
The villagers of these island villages
keep diminutive cattle which they feed
largely on marsh grasses cut from
boats. AS a result of abundant feed
and lack of exercise, tho cows grow
fat and sleek to a degree unusual
among the lean Indian cattle. Their
milk, butter and cheese are known as
delicacies in the nearby cities. These
same villages raise unusually fine rice,
by planting before the rains begin.
AS the country is flooded, the stalks
of the rice grow with the rising sur
face of the waters, so that rice stalks
ten feet long may be seen when the
foods recede. - -----------~--' : =

ROYAL ReqaIia Now in Museum.

Hawaii's famous royal standards and
robes of feathers made probably theiy
last appearance in a public ceremony
ut the recent burial of ex-Queen
Liluokalani in Honolulu. The feather
relics, regarded by the natives as sa
cred. are kept in the Bishop museum,
founded in memory of Mrs. Charles r.
Bishop. who was the Princess Bernice
Pauahi, last in direct line of the de-
ScendantS of Kamehameha, king
whose name his people pronounced
with accent on the second inch" The
most valuable of the feather pieces is,
Of course. the royal robe of Kameha-
meha the Great. for which the gath
aring of the feathers alone is said to
have taken 100 years and to have cost

Set His Standard hiuh.

One big trouble in this world is that
we do not set our standards high
enough. We content ourselves with
little performances, and do not pick
our critic with care. We suit our
selves.
All this cannot be said about a GER
tain little boy in this town, who got
a big blackboard and plenty of crayon
for Christmas. Whatever the ability
of that embryo artist may be, certain
ly his ambition is boundless.
He went to Sunday school, and
while there was much impressed, as
usual, with the pictures of Biblical
characters shown him.
That afternoon he stood before his
new blackboard and meditated deep
and long.
Then he turned to his mother and

PEACE WITH VICTORY
 IS BELIEF Ot THE
 PEOPLE IN ENGLAND
It Is Probable An Allied
 Conference Will Be Held
 J to Discuss Problems. @.

London, Sunday, Oct. 13.-London's streets, parks and public places were crowded today
 and that it is peace with victory.
 X. J. Balfour. secretary of state for foreign affairs; Andrew Bonar Law. chancellor of the exchequer and Lord Robert Cecil, assistant secre- tary of state for foreign affairs, were at the foreign office early in the morning. Later MT. BalOur and MT. Law motored to Premier Lloyd GeOr- ge's country home or conference.
 Some interpretation of events from British standpoint, is expected. Thus far Berlin and Washington have monopolized the diplomatic stages with the governments associated with the United States seemingly interest ed spectators. The people expect Great Britain and France and their allies to share in the next chapter. An allied conference can easily be arranged, as Premier Venizelos of Greece has just arrived in London and the Serbian minister is also in the city.
 Two leading questions discussed are whether the allies will embark vpcn "a commission to arrange for an evacuation of allied territoFy still in German hands. and how far Ger man assumption that all the allies will stand together on President Will son's pratform is warranted. There is also question whether the allies will begin any conference without previous insistence upon certain mi- >nimum demands.

TURNED WITH FIRE
Air Plane Suddenly Dipped" Turn

New York, Oct. 14.-Bullets from a machine gun presumed to have been inadvertently fired from an army air. plane in flight, killed one soldier and wounded there others as the men were drilling in formation today at Camp Mills, l.. I.
 The army and aviation authorities had not succeeded late today in iden- tifying the airplane which at the time of the accident was not seen at the camp. &
 Observers elsewhere reported see. ing an airplane in the neighborhood1 flying very high high and which had come from the ocean side of the ls- land.
 It was the theory of the aviation officers that the airplane which en- gagged in target practice, suddenly dipped, thus unintentionally directing a stream of bullets earthward.
