after an Illness of seven months. Ten
years ago, when living in Caldwell, DIR.
Isham diagnosed her ailment as dia-
betes, but it has only been within the
past few years that the disease has
caused her any trouble Three years
ago Mr.. Burroughs sold out the Mini
doka County News, paper he found
ed in Rupert, and took his wife to
Washington, d. c., her childhood
home. in hopes that an improvement
in her health might result. After a
ten months Stay there she prepared
to return to Idaho, greatly improved
in health. At the last moment, how
ever she slipped on an icy pavement
and broke her ankle, giving her a set
back from which she never fully re-
covered. A trip to California last
summer was also unavailing, and on
her return to Idaho she was compelled
to go to the hospital, where she grew
steadily worse, notwithstanding the
best efforts of medical science to COM
bat the disease.
Mrs Burroughs was buried at St.
Johns cemetery in Boise Wednesday
morning. She was Al years of age.
Besides the husband, she leaves a sis
ter, Mrs. G. M. Lyden, head nurse at
Lynn's hospital in Pocatello, and a
father and two brothers in Washing

URGE BOND HOLDERS
TO INVEST INTEREST
Vast Sum on Bond Payments Should
Be Permitted Circu-
lation.

SAN FRANCISCO-The United
States government will pay out more
than 100000 Monday in semi-an-
nual interest to holders of Third Lib
erty Loan bonds in the Twelfth Fed
eral Reserve district. Mondays in
terest payment, added to the two
previous interest installments paid on
Third Loan bonds by the government,
gives total of nearly $4,000, 900
earned since May, 1918, by the $751;
975,000 invested by lao, 584 purchas-
ers of bonds of the Third Loan in this
Federal Reserve district.
BE sure ana clip your coupons and
cash them,' is the advice broadcasted
to holders of the Third Loan bonds BY
Robert E. Smith, director of the waf
loan organization of the Twelfth Fed
eral Reserve district. "Coupe ms I'M
cashed are idle money. 1t is no trouble
to cash your coupons. just clip the
September Is coupon off and present
it at any bank and you will get your
money. 1t is no more trouble than
getting change for bill"

If all bondholders in America cash

circulation nearly $85 600 more
money than before. That is approxi-
mately the total amount of interest to
be paid out on the Third Loan as a
whole today.
Here is chance for the people to
hit high prices a hard blow" said Di-
rector Smith. Every man, woman,
and child who owns a Third Loan
bond should cash the coupon and inn
mediately buy Thrift or War Savings
Stamps or. Treasury Savings Certifi-
Gates which bear more interest than
the bonds. Investment of the Third
Loan bond interest at the bank window
Immediately upon cashing the cou-
pons will keep that $85 900 GOO out of
circulation and thus help keep prices
down.
II cannot urge too strongly the
wisdom of letting the government
keep this interest money and, not only
that, but continued buying OF War
Savings Stamps out Of every pay en-
velope. If everyone in the United
States would set aside something
each week for War Savings Stamps
earning them four per cent interest
compounded every three months. it
would be very short time until there
would be a noticeable drop in prices"

IDAHO CHILDREN TO :
LEARN THRIFT VALUE
SCHOOLS, OF ENTIRE STATE
ENLISTED IN FIGHT AGAINST
EXTRAVAGANCE.

All over the state of Idaho the
children are swarming into the school
rooms, which for the next eight or
nine months will be hives of activity
where the citizens of tomorrow are
being taught the things most neces-
sary for the development of intelli-
gence and character.
This year there is new and vital
subject being taught which has an i'm
portant place in the building of real
character; systematic thrift instruc-
ton has been added to the. school
curriculum and has been made re-
quired part of it in the entire public
school system of the state.
81 Install Thriftometer.
On the wall of each school room
will hang the thrift chart and the
thriftometer which will show in a
graphic way both the individual rec
ords of the pupils and of the room as
a whole. Each week the children will
learn a thrift epigram which will be
worth remembering all their lives /;
each month every pupil will write a
little story of how he has earned
money and how he has planned to
save, and the one which shows the
qualities Of energy and ingenuity and
persistence to the greatest degree will
be entitled to the honor star on the
chart, rather than the one who can
show merely the largest amount of
money. Thrift instruction also will
be dove-tailed into the regular courses
of study and examples will be given in
connection with arithmetic work, for
instance, to illustrate the important
and useful things which can be done
in the future by the intelligent saver
of today.
While the thrift instruction plan is
worked out primarily for the public
schools and can be required only in
them, it is expected that many of the
private schools viii also follow the
same course. St. Margaret's Academy
at Boise has led off with the an
announcement that it is adopting the
same thrift curriculum as the public
schools and it is expected that the
others will follow.
Children Abhor Extravagance.
1t may be a difficult task to try to
teach the grown-ups the foolishness
and shortsightedness and actual dis
honesty of extravaganza, or spending
more than they can afford. The
children. however, are getting the idea
and are entering with enthusiasm into
the plan for making them better and
more independent citizens. They also
will carry the message back into the
homes. The hope of America for the
future depends upon the intelligence,
energy and character of the younger
generation, and unquestionably sys-
tematic instruction along the lines of
intelligent and constructive saving is
one of the big element in the making
of character.
1t is the belief of the school authori-
ties that idaho has worked out the
best and most progressive thrift in
struction plan in the schools of any
state in the union. Assuredly it is
squarely up to the adult citizens of
Idaho to lend every encouragement to
the children. and the best way to en-
courage is not merely to approve of
the principle but to join in the actual
practice of thrift.
