To Teach Thrift
in Idaho Schools
ThriftOmeter and Thrift Chart
in all Public School Rooms
Is New State Plan.

The Thriftometer is device to
measure the progress of thrift
among the pupils in the school
room On the mercury column the
teacher will mark in red crayon
each week the rise of the thrift coll
umn
Also there is to be in each school
room thrift chart. with the names
Of all the pupils inscribed on IT,
The thrift and War Savings Stamps
which the pupils buy will be indi-
Gated by stars of different colors.
Also there will be one honor star
placed each month before the name
of the pupil whose account of mon
ey earned and saved shows the most
energy and ingenuity, rather than
the mere money amount of pur-
chases.
pupil will describe both in oral and
written exercises the work he has
done during the summer. and the
money he has saved and invested in
Thrift Stamps. The same will be
done with the beginning of each
month thereafter. Those school
children who do not know already
of the plan should be advised in
order that they may be ready to
make a good report when school
opens in the fall. Prizes also will
be given in addition to the distinct
ion of having the honor position on
tie chart.
Commencing this fall regular and
! systematic thrift instruction will be
part of the required curriculum
in all of the schools of Idaho. The
object of our system of education is
not alone to teach the pupils the
three RS and other important sub
jects. but also to develope charac'
ter and make good citizens. One oi
the most necessary elements in char.
ao ter building is to inoculate habit:

Two Small Fires This Week.

The fire alarm rang out Friday
evening about p. m. and was
quickly and numerously responded
to by the alert volunteer fire de-
partment, who quickly put out the
blaze.
The fire was discovered, soon at
ter blazing up, in the rear Of the
Orofino Trading Company's store.
and was caused by pile of rubbish
becoming ignited in some unknown
way. 1t is probable, however, that
a fire that had been burning at the
same point, in the forenoon, and
which was supposed to have been
put out, smoldered until evening
and was famed into flames by a
strong wind.
A short time before the arrival Of
Thursdays afternoon train. fire
broke out at the Nor. Pac. depot,
and created quite little stir, until
it was speedily put out. Apparent
ly lighted cigar had fallen
through crack in the platform
and was famed into quite a blaze
by the wind before being discovered.
This occurrence emphasizes the
necessity for extreme carefulness in
disposing of lighted cigar and cigar
cite stubs.

THE GERMAN WAR SHIPS.

Mir David Lawrence, Washington correspondent of the New York Even ing Post, who is now in Paris with the American peace commission cables the Post:
 My own prediction is that the Am crican mission will be inclined to of the German fleet in such fashion as to increase the gap between Ann erica and Great Britain in naval strength. and that as a compromise solution il may be proposed to dis mantle-not sink-the German fleet entirely"
 On the assumption that Mir Lawr- cree is more or less inspired cor respondent, this statement has some significance It shows that the dis position of the surrendered German war fleet is troubling the American peace commissioners. and the sug- gcstcd solution of the difficulty plain ly implies that the United States del gation is afraid to see Great Britain s war fleet larger and stronger than that of the United States. This looks as if Mir Wilson had little faith in his own program of disarmament and permanent peace: else why is he at all anxious how large Great Britain s navy is? And what is a navy for eX- cept for protection? Thus theory al ways gives way to the practice of pro lection.

AN EDITORIAL CRITIC.

triticng the speeches of Senators Lodge and Knox against the league of rCace question being involved in the immediate peace conference, MT. Nor man Hapgood, the well-known editor says:
 Lodge, Reed and Knox are saying, We and our principal associ2tcs. rep resented by a score of individuals in Versailles. ought to grab whatever We can comfortably get away with and fix up rules %fterward.' President Wilson is saying The United States and her associates have q rosponsi- Lilty before God and man that is too great for sclhshncss and too great for hate or pride. That responsibility can only be met by the same method with which we have learned to settle conflicts between man and man"
 Our editorial friend is very wide of mark, or even the truth, when he says tbat Senators Lodge and Knox are in favor of having Us grab whatever We can comfortably get away with and fix up the rules afterward." These gentlemen. on the contrary, say that the peace conference is for the pur- pos or making peace with Germany and Austria, not for the purpose of re forming and being responsible for the entire world
 Conflicts between nations are very different things from conflicts between man and man. The same machinery employed in local. state and internal national affairs. where conditions are homogeneous and the same language is spoken, will not work among differ cnt nations with varied stages of de vclopment and speaking different Ian guages.
 Theory is one thing; practice is quite another thing.

COLORED BOY KILLED.

Clay Bridgcman, colored, the eleven
year old grandson of Rev. w. G..
Adams was run over by an automo-
bile driven by Mrs. f.. l.. Grccver last
Saturday afternoon near the home
of Allen Chapman and sustained in
jurics from which he died Sunday
afternoon in Bluefield hospital
Walter Dempsey, son of Frank Demp-
sey, colored, was also slightly in
jured. Eye witnesses to the accident
are positive in their statements that
it was unavoidable on the part of
Mrs. Greever. The two boys were
riding bicycle, travelling i'm the OPP
posite direction to that of the auto,
and directly behind another large
car. When the two automobiles were
only few feet apart the boys on the
bicycle turned directly in front of the
car of Mrs. Greever. The Bridegman
boy was knocked down and the car
passed over his body. The Dempsey
boy, seeing he could not escape,
grabbed headlight of the auto and
held fast until the car was stopped.
His presence of mind doubtless saved
him his life. The body of Bridgeman
was taken to his former home in
North Carolina for intcrnment.
Mr.. and Mrs. e. l.. Grccver exertcd
every possible means to save the boys
life, taking him to the Bluefield hos
Dital in their car, and seeing that the
best of medical skill was at hand to
minister to him.

TAZEWELL COUNTY AGAIN
OVER THE TOP.

Tazewell County has again repond-
ed to the appeal of a worthy cause,
and contributed its full quota to the
Children's Home Society of Virginia,
which was the sum of $1500.00, and
check has been mailed to the Trea-
surcr of the Society at Richmond
Taznwell is one of twenty-five coun-
ties to subscribe full quota, being
second in Southwest Virginia to do
so.
The people of this county have
never been called upon to contribute
to a more worthy cause than this,
and in aiding the little helpless child
rem of the state, have rendered SER
vice which will not only be blessing
to the children, but to those who con-
tributed. Senator j. N. Harman was
the Chairman of group of five
Counties, including Tazewell, Senator
j. Powell Royal, Chairman of Tazc
we'll County, and Mr.. II. p. Britain,
was Treasurer of the fund in Taze-
we'll County, and these gentlemen de-
sire to express to those who assisted
them inthe. capacities of local chair
man and collectors, as well as all
who contributed, to this cause, their
sincere appreciation. 1t has taken
time and effort. but all are fully re-
compensed in feeling they did what
they could for the helpless children.

WARMING TO SUNDAY
NIOLATORS.

To Elayors of Towns, Justices of
the Peace, and Police Officers:
Complaints have been made to me
that the Sunday laws are being vio-
lated in Tazcwcll County, especially
by merchants and keepers of rcstau-
rants, who sell merchandise, soft
drinks, fruits etc. on Sunday in open
defiance of law, and that no effort
is being made, in many sections of
the county, by local officers to break
up this practice
l publicity call your attention to
these complaints, and ask that you
take steps to stop such violations Of
law. A restaurant license gives no
right to do soft drink or fountain
business on Sunday.
Mayors and Justices of the Peace
have exclusive original jurisdiction in
the trial of such violations of law,
and the people of the county are
absolutely dependent on you for the
enforcement of the Sunday laws.

that certain parties living in his com

better keep away from his premises

complete their work next time.
