Free shooting and fishing must no.
be allowed to disappear, for directly
| thereon rest not only the health and
happiness of thousands of our C.:i-
zens, but in a large measure, our ma
tional security. No. one doubts :hat
| as nation we must always depend
upon the virility of our young man
hood.
Major-General Hugh L. Scott, that
dean of American fighting men,
strongly urges that both state and
| federal aid be given to every legiti-
mate movement to make attractive
| and pe1petuate our outdoor interests.
Hunting and fishing he places il tile
front rank of outdoor sports, whic.a
he believes was one of the greatest
factors in making it possible for
Uncle Sam to cross the seas with an
army capable of standing the strain
and acquitting themselves as our
boys did General Scott knows
whereof he speaks. Retired under
the age limit, his robust body and
keen mind permitted him to spring
back into the harness at his country's
cal. He credits his fitness to the
clean outdoor life he has lead.
Necessary for Conservation
The most important thing to keep
in mind is the sensible conserving of
the game and fish we have now. No
one section of the country must be
allowed to overindulge it's natural
wish to take game and fish to it's own
detriment or to that of another sec
ton. Whether we perpetuate a
species by artificial breeding and dis
tribution, or by common sense re-
strictive legislation, is not the point.
The fact is that each and every
American species must be saved and
increased in numbers permitting at
least some shooting. We cannot af-
ford to delay or bubble over doing
thing that must be done.
The incentive to go afield pro-
vlded, some place to 60 must be fur
nished. The federal government, the
states, associations, or philanthropic
individuals should set aside at once
as many public hunting preserves as
possible. This duty is the duty of
the state, but the state is an abstract
term 1t is up to the citizens to
start the ball rolling. Marshes are
being drained and thickets cleared
to provide more grain and incident
ally more dollars to some individual.
Now is the tim to buy, while much
territory can still be purchased at
small figure. Again, the question is
not who shall provide, but the fact
that some territory for public shoot
ing and fishing must be provided.
All interested should put their
shoulders to the wheel and help.
This does not mean simply sports
men, but all Americans who wish to
see our nation composed of strong,
healthy men who may be better able
to withstand the dutiees of our
strenuous life.

Portable tubs. Fill thru a piece
of hose attached to the faucet or
pump. Empty thru a hole in bot
tom or in side near bottom.

1t saves rubbing. A good hand MAJ

Wash in clean, hot, soapy water
or cold water and naphtha soap.
Put in boiler in cold soapy water
and boil five minutes. 1t helps to
sterilize and whiten clothes.
Rinse until no dirt or soa! comes
into the water. Use warm water at
first so the soap will not harden.
Wiring. Set the rolls of the
wringer tight for cotton materials,
loose for linen; or squeeze linen in
the hands; hard wringing creases it

Encourage Thrift
Among Students

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 column. y.
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 indicated by
stars of different colors. Also there
will be one honor star placed each
month before the name of the pupil
whose account of money earned and
saved shows the most energy and
ingenuity, rather than the mere
money amount of purchases.
The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1919-07-25

Teaching Thrift in the School Room
At the beginning Of school each
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 now know already
Of the plan should be advised in
order that they may be ready to
make good report when school
opens in the fall. Prizes also will
be given in addition to the distinc-
ton of having the honor position on
the chart.
Commencing this fall, regular and
systematic thrift instruction will be
a part of the required curriculum in
all of the schools of Idaho. The OBJ
ject of our system of education is
not alone to teach the pupils the
three RS and other important sub
jects, but also to develop character
and make good citizens One of the
most necessary elements in character
building is to inculcate habits of in
telligent saving and thrift, and to
receive instruction in the ways and
means of doing So.
Uncle Sam Wants His Grown-Ups to
Practice Thrift
The United States government is
determined to convert the citizens of
this country from spendthrift habits
to those Unreasonable and intelligent
thrift. Furthermore, this is pur-
pose which all good citizens, young
and old should help in and cooper
ate with. The children assuredly
are going to do their part, and it is
strictly up to the adults to do theirs
also. There are none who cannot
save something out of their income
and cd it regularly. Furthermore,
it is part of patriotism to do so
and will be of immense advantage
to the individual himself

Bluing
Make a dark bluing water and add
enough to the final rinse water to
give desired shade. Stir we'll. Use
less bluing for fine soft materials and
linens and more for coarse thick ma

Softening Water
Soft water is necessary for easy
laundry work. Soften either by
boiling or by chemicals carefully
measured and thoroly dissolved In

clothes.
To each gallon of water add "
tablespoon washing soda or tea
spoon lye for ordinary white cotton
and linen materials, and 1 table,
