PEOPLE SHOOTING PHEASANTS

Although there is no open season
for shooting pheasants in Idaho
farmers in the vicinity of pools of
water complain that people come
from all sections and annoy them
by shooting pheasants on their prem
ises. In fact the practice is so COM
mon that those in a position to OBJ
serve say that if the law is not en-
forced to protect the pheasants this
species in Idaho will soon become ex-
tinct.
Some people have suggested post
ing NO Hunting" Signs at their wat
ering places, while others say thar
one or two arrests for violating the
game laws would be more effective.
To the writer it seems that the state
fish and game department should be
notified OF the circumstances. as that
department maintains salaried depu-
tics, who travel over the state con
tlnually in the interests of fish and
game preservation.

NEW VIRTUE IN THE MOVIES

The claim comes from London that
the rising generation of English
girls include larger proportion of
beauties than any preceding one

movies are the cause" To quote

theatre, the music the upward gaze
are all conditions favorable to such

the mental impression received by
young people under these conditions
when gazing upon selected types of

have cumulative effect resulting in
the general Identification of the race.

BANKS A. COMMUNITY SERVANTS

From bankers for local. state and
general government, the banks be
came bankers for the people over
the war period
They helped float the liberty loans,
helped the people buy them and
now are helping them collect their
interest from the government
Many holders of liberty bonds are
not collecting the interest when it
falls due, perhaps it does not seem
to the holder worth bothering with.
and the banks attend to it for him,
however. small the amount
Some bondholders fail to clip cou-
pons with the idea that by letting
the government keep the interest
money they were helping pay the
war dbt.
But when interest falls due the
trasurer must hold in readiness 4
sum sufficient to pay it all.
The banks attend to these matters
cheerfully. accommodatingly and
without charge merely rs part of
modern banking methods.
Legitimate competition and pro
gressive methods in banking bring
benefits to the banker and the pub
lie just as much rs in any business.
That is why American banks lead
the world in the matter of courtesy
and accommodation to customers.

rolment of 1872, divided rs follows:
GA freshmen. 32 sophomores, Is jun
iOrs and 8 seniors. This is the larg-
est enrolment in the history of the
school, and promises to be still larg-
er. Students are coming in daily,
not only from the jerome district,
but from outside districts as well.
We have nine students from Falls
City, three from Eden, one from
Wendell and one from Fairfield
The high school has become so
crowded that it has been necessary to
move the seniors to mother room.
as all cannot be seated in the as
sembly room. If the students keep
coming as they have been for the
two weeks past it will soon be nee
essary to move the juniors to anoth-
er room.

The constitutions and bylaws OF
the two societies cannot be found

students should like very much tc
locate them, and would be thankful

that the secretaries of last year have
them in their possession yet. If they
