Editor Star Mirror:
Thinking | might reach more of my
friends thru the Star Mirror than
would be able to do thru individual
correspondence and at the same time
write something that might interest
some of your readers / am taking
chances of having this article reach
the waste basket. After spending the
winter in Boise which place 1 left
March goth, and came here via Salt
Lake.
The weather was fairly good when
l left Boise yet frost was on the
ground and occasionally little snow
with no sign of green grass or bud
ding trees, but the second day out
ran into green grass and peach trees
in bloom, with almost summer heat,
orange trees laden with ripe yellow
fruit, in so short a time it seemed
like veritable paradise. l stopped
over Sunday in Los Angeles, visited
the Pacific branch of the national
soldiers home at Satelle, saw several
boys l knew, they seemed to be happy
quite well. Saw Capt. Ed Smith who
was in the tuberculosis ward. He
said he felt some better since COM
ing there. The doctor told me how
ever, that there was small hope of
his permanent recovery.
My daughter Louise and | have a
neat little six room cottage on Alba
tross St., which is in one of the pret-
tiest parts of the city, in fact it is
the only paved and parked street 1

miles of paved streets, but only this
one parked that l have seen, yet I
have not been all over the city, as it |
covers miles of territory. Some of |
the cities in California take in half i
the county and San Diego is no ex-
,eption to that rule.
There are few places which have
such diversified attractions and in
many ways natural advantages as
San Diego. With one of the finest

INVEST INTEREST
IN THRIFT STAMPS
NEARLY SIX MILLION DOLLARS
IN INTEREST PAID TO WEST
ERNERS THURSDAY

Six hundred thousand individuals
and corporations in the Twelfth fed
eral reserve district which takes in
the entire Pacific coast collected
$5,856,057 from the government last
Thursday. 1t was the semi
interest on Second Liberty loan bonds
The specific number of Second Lib
erty loan subscribers in the Twelfth
district was 624,654. The amount
subscribed was 292,8O2,85O. Four
per cent of that divided by two is
$5,856,O57.
Averaging the interest paid among
the total number Of subscribers, each
purchaser of Second Loan bonds re-
ceived $9.37. These days S9.37 is
not to be shifted at.
Uncle Sam, at least, thinks whole
lot of that $9.37. The government
wants every man, woman and child
who has interest coming on Second
Liberty loan bonds to collect it and
Immediately re-invest the amount in
War Savings Stamps. That puts
your interest at work earning interest
-four per cent compounded every
three months. That is how men get
rich making their money work for
them and making interest earn in
terest.
If all the Second Liberty loan sub
scribers invest the interest due them
Thursday in war savings stamps they
will have, in the aggregate, at the
end of the year approximately $780,
900 more in additional earnings. Be
sides, in the meantime, they are do
ing the government a service by
placing their money at it's command.

want to see things of real interest.
Balboa park of 1400 acres, the site
of the California Pacific exposition,
is most beautiful and wonderful
place. Most of the buildings are still
standing and it is the intention to
keep them up. There is an organiza-
tion headed by Lyman Gage, who was
McKinley's secretary of the treasury,
who is looking after it.
Our cottage is in view of North
Island, Rockwell Field, Uncle Sans
best aviation field. North Island is
a tract of 1400 acres, just the size
of Balboa park, located in the north
ern part of San Diego bay. Last
Sunday | went over to see the flying
frolic and | tell you it was great, both
in the day time and at night-some
thrill every minute. 1t is certainly
wonderful the advancement which
has been made during the war in
aviation. 1t was a wonderful sight
to see them going at the rate of 80
miles per hour and turn over on their
back and turn over and over like a
leaf falling from a tree, then right
themselves and sail away like a bird.
They released some carrier pigeons
with messages for Camp Kearney, IL
miles away. The wise little birds took
a bee line for the camp. But the
most wonderful thing about the per-
formance to me at least was talking
with machines 800 feet in air going
at a speed of 60 miles per hour and
getting answers back in the human
voice When the operator on the

KNIGHTS TEMPLARS TO
MEET IN MOSCOW SOON

The annual Conclave of the Grand
Commandery Knights Templar of
Idaho and the convocation of the
Grand Chapter of Royal Arch Masons
will convene in Moscow May %
(Thursday).
These are held at different places
in the state each year and Moscow
is to have the pleasure of showing
it's cordiality in receiving these men
from every section of the state. Many
of whom are especially interested
here because of it being the home of
the state university where their
children have gone, are going or will
go to college.

"Can a man Jimmy his way into

inequalities to which they were sub
jected.
They also discovered that lines had
been extended to sparsely settled
communities and maintained at a loss
to give them service that folks In
the cities had to pay for to large
extent, at least meeting the deficiency
up to certain point.
That also caused a change of senti-
ment in farming communities rela-
tive to the cities, and it has also re-
suited in the farming population hav-
ing a better understanding of the
serious problems confronting legiti-
mate corporations, the success of
which in Idaho spells success for ev-
erybody.
All over the state this feeling of
mutuality of interest is manifest, and
is becoming so pronounced as to at
tract favorable attention on the part
of homeseekers and investors, both
of which are sorely needed in Idaho
at this time.

COOPERATION TO
SAVE CORPORATIONS
INTERESTING BUT TRUE STORY
FROM BOISE POINTS A MORAL
FOR OTHERS

BOISE.-If it were possible for a
state convention to be held in Idaho
composed of delegates representing
farmers, laborers, banks, corpora
tions, mercantile institutions, profes-
sional life and that body went seri-
ously to work to solve the industrial
problems of Idaho the situation would
merely reflect a frame of mind that
is finding Individual expression in in
creasing volume.
"We've got to get together"
That is the sentiment all over the
state land it is growing.
The dependency of one class upon
the other is more generally recog-
nized than ever before, and it is also
downing upon all thinking people
that those idlers who fatten upon
the endeavor of others are not rep
resentative of the business life of the
community or of the state but an
element that is thriving by keeping
these various interests apart and
fighting each other.
That element is composed of agi-
tators of the worst type, some of
them talking in society, others on
the street corners, but all of a kind
grafters. That is a harsh word but
rectly. 1t is to get away from these
high-brow and low-brow trouble
makers and to unite in program
of progress that many people are
getting together in a variety of ways
who heretofore have stood aloof from
each other, in many cases actively
fighting each other.
A Living Illustration
A living illustration is furnished in
the case of Boise street car COM
pany. The men, members of union,
wanted a raise, and deserved it. The
company, a bankrupt in reality, with
it's property up for sale in court,
wanted a one-man car service in the
hope of pulling out. The men pro-
tested that and at the same time ask
ed for raise. The manager of the
company showed them the books.
"You boys are getting all the money
that comes in," he said. "You de-
serve more money, but | can't pay it,
for it isn't in sight. Unless we get
a one-man car service you will all
be out of work so far as this company
out. / would not blame you if you
would quit That's what l would do
if / were in your place. The cards
are on the table, boys, and you know
all about the situation. Unless we
can get relief some way the line will
be junked-and it is almost junk now
because we have no money to pay
out excepting for wages"
The boys put their heads together,
checked up the statements of the
found them correct, dis
covered that the auto was respon-
sible for the company's financial diff
fcult problems. Maybe nothing can
be done, but the spirit of the work
men reveals complete understanding
of the necessity of cooperation The
boys have as much interest in the
business today as though they owned
it,
Farmers and Corporations
The farmers recently had an ex-
ample showing the. desirability of
mutual interest. When Postmaster
Burleson raised the telephone rates
in order to meet expenses of opera
ton rural lines were not included.
The farmers discovered that they had
been thus favored because of natural

W.,B.&A. TERMINAL
SITE IS UNOPPOSED

No opposition to the proposed city
terminal of the Washington, RGlTi-
more and Annapolis Railway was
voiced at the hearing before the Pub
lie Utilities Commission today.
The proposal by the company was
made after agitation Il a year or
more by The Times for a move to less
en- the congestion caused by the com
pany parking" its big cars on New
York avenue between Fourteenth and
Fifteenth northwest
It calls for the purchase OF the
north half of the block bounded by
New York avenue, Eleventh, Twelfth
and. II streets northwest. Cars Will
leave New York avenue at Twelfth
street, enter the new terminal a half
block further down and come out on
the Eleventh street side. From there
they will go up Eleventh street and
join the present tracks at New
York avenue.
The Public Utilities Commission
took the proposal under advisement
and will issue an order in few days.
Immediately upon approval by the
the company has agreed
to take the necessary steps to pur-
chase the property and begin work on
the new terminal.

.SOLONS CRY "SAVE
MONROE DOCTRINE"

That is the slogan in Senate
circles that really is the basis Of
much Of the opposition to the
proposals that the United States
should be called upon to act as SpOn-
sors or guardians To Armenia. Lith-
uania, or other OF the newly created
small nations being made out OF the
regenerated Europe that is expected
to rise from the league Of nations.
Reports from Paris declare that there
is an insistent desire that Uncle Sam
become responsible for Armenia and
Constantinople-or, az least, their
financial regeneration.
Senator's Johnson of California and
Borah of Idaho, who set up the Pro
gressives' cry OF Get the American
troops back homer declare they are
gaining support every day, and Sena-
tor Reed OF Missouri summed up the
opinions of the opponents OF the pol
icy Of setting up small nations when
he said: ANY nation that deserves
its freedom is game enough to set IL
for itself" But back of much OF the
Senatorial expressions is the feeling
that IL the United States undertakes
such mandatory powers as are sug-
gested, il will be hard to maintain
it's century-old stand upon the Mon
roe doctrine, and that the rest Of the
world would be in position to inti-
mate that this country should stay
out of Europe II 1t expects Europe to
stay out of the American hemisphere"
President Wilson is expected to go
into detail as to this situation when
he returns from Paris, and Senator'S
intimate that there may be. less oppo-
sition to the guardianship plans II II
can be shown that the Monroe doc
trine will not be endangered

VIRGINIA SETTLES
WITH WEST VA.

CHARLESTON, W. Va, Feb. g.
What he declared was Virginia's final
concession to West Virginia to secure
a settlement OF the Virginia debt case
was presented to a joint session Of
the legislature here yesterday by
Randolph Harrison, counsel for Vlr-
ginia, in acceptance OF the fourth
point of the proposed terms OF settle
ment. providing that West Virginia
should hold in her treasury bonds to
cover 81 100000 in certificates Of in
debtedness, which have been lost.
The other three points, upon which
both States have agreed, were made
public for the first time today by Mr..
Harrison. They provided:
First-That West Virginia should
make her payment in bonds, instead
of floating a bond issue and paying
the cash thereby secured, and the
payment of $1,1oo.oOO in cash addi-
tional.
Second-That the rate of interest
the bonds should bear would be 81
per cent instead Of 5 per cent, now
accruing on the principal
Third-That the bonds should run
for a period Of twenty years In order
to make the settlement as easy as
possible.
Under these terms OF settlement, to
be agreed upon by the legislature,
West Virginia would pay $1,1o0,OOO In
cash and SI3,4OO,OOO in 81 per cent
bonds, less the the $1,000 900 in bonds
to be held in the West Virginia treas
ury against the lost certificates, which
never have been delivered by Vlr-
ginia.

LABOR DEPT. TO
REBUILD INDUSTRY

Selling the war 10 labor was our
job while the fighting was on. Sell
ing the Governments reconstruction
program to the business man and the
working man is our task now that the
enemy has been beaten"
Thus Roger w. Babson. chief of the
Information and Education Service
of the Department of Labor, sums up
the work of his bureau for the last
eight months.
How we'll the drive was put over
may be seen in the loyalty of labor
to the men in the trenches during hos
tiIities. and in the response of indus
try and labor alike to the appeal for
cooperation in getting back to a
peace basis.
Nowadays. we have to guard
against resting on our oars. We've
won the war, yes, but that's only the
beginning. The. fruits of victory
would rot on the ground If we failed
to gather them in.
Therefore. we must work harder
than ever. We must shift from max
ing munitions and give our energy
to putting the nation on firm, safe
basis of prosperity. To do this, en-
rloyers and workers must get to-
gether. Each must make concessions
for the good of the whole people. p,
This is the message of the depart
ment for the period OF readjustment.
We are doing our best to let the SOL
dier know that the country wants to
help him back to civilian life in the
most practical way. Not to give him
charity, but TO give him the best
job possible. We want the man who
held the lines at home to know that
we seek the most profitable place for
him in the new era. He has, done
his bit. and he is entitled to the best
living he can get.
The business man has to be en-
couraged, too. He must understand
that nothing is to be gained by hold
ing back. This is the time for action.
There is no prospect of very much
cheaper labor or materials in the
near future. So we are urging re-
sumption now of Industrial activity
on a larger scale than ever before.
Build, manufacture, produce" This
is the slogan OF the future"
