GOOD READING FOR CHILDREr
(By Mrs. Mary E. Bartley.)

(By Mrs. Mary E. Bartley.)
This is an age of universal read
ing, in this country at least, where
schools are open to all and compulsory
education laws in force; books, mag
azines and papers of all kinds are
cheap and plentiful and there is little
excuse for any home being without
just the kind of reading matter it de-
sires. The great mass of publications
may be divided into three classes.
First: Those which are uplifting, in
spring and educational in their ma
ture; second: reading which merely
fills in time, serves no useful pur-
pose, but may be harmless; third:
reading which is positively harmful
and vicious, but often fascinating and
alluring to child or young person.
Of the latter class there is entirely
too much published and there ought
to be some sort of government super
vision over all books and publica-
tions issued, to weed out the bad and
prevent their publication and circula-
ton. 1t is difficult to conceive of the
influence of reading upon the human
race. An idea of the extent of this
influence may be gained by a COM
parison of our nation with the people
The inflence of good reading leads to
the highest ideals, greatest good and
comforts, of life, while bad reading
often leads to the doors of jails and
penitentiaries. / often think if moth
ing bad was read, crime, dissipation
and poverty would almost disappear.
Bad reading is the twin evil of bad
companions and mothers who would
not allow their boy or girl to associate
with bad companions, often carelessly
allow them to have bad reading, which
is just as dangerous for the child.
1t is not always natural for a child
to like reading, but when the habit is
once formed, it generally grows and
is seldom lost. Realizing the vast
influence of reading it is the solemn
duty of every mother to her child to
read and as it grows and it's mind
unfolds and expands to direct its read
ing and see that the habit thus being |
acquired is for the very best reading |
that can be had. Not only does the
habit of reading stay with the child |
thru life, but the taste for good or
bad reading, once formed is hard to
change. Place in the child's hands
The best reading obtainable and it
will not care for cheap vicious liter
novels, detective and wild west stories
md it will acquire a desire for thrill
ng and exciting reading and nothing
Else will take its place.
When / hear a mother say, "my
children do not like to read" I feel
ike telling her she has failed to de-

IDAHO DECLARES WAR ON
RODENTS.

The farm bureaus of fifteen counties
in this state, in cooperation with the
Biological Survey of the United States
Department of Agriculture, last year
treated 266,068 acres of land with
poisoned bait to kill ground squirrels.
According to the estimates of the
farmers benefited, $1,16S,074 worth of
crops were saved, at a cost of $30,920.
In Bear Lake county, following the
squirrel eradication campaign, the
local bounty office recorded the re-
.,eipt of 136,500 squirrel tails. In Bing-
nam county one member of the farm
bureau reported he had received $49.74
bounty on the presentation of 2487
squirrel tails. These were killed by
The use of only S1.70 worth of strych-
Yeine and saccharine. He saved his
crops besides. In Blaine county the
farmers report a saving of 500 for
every dollar expended, and the county
commissioners have increased theid
appropriation for this work of poison
ing squirrels from $500 for 1918 to
$500 for 1919.

1t is to the lasting credit of the
Elks that they so early recognized
the merits of the noble work being
carried on by the Salvation Army, and
backed that good work to the limit.
You have heard much about the Red
Cross the Y. M. c. A. and other re-
| lief organizations, but so quietly and
modestly have the Elks raised hundreds
of thousands of dollars for the Sal
walton Army that the public in gen.
eral have never discovered how the
Salvation Army succeeded in carrying
on its work for year without max
ing an appeal to the country for mon
ey.
Through Mr. Wolff's article the Elks
are shown up and no longer can they
escape, as they would like to do, a con-
spicuous place in the praises given out
by fathers and mothers of America,
whose sons have been supplied with
hot doughnuts and coffee in the front
line trenches through the combined
efforts of the Salvation Army and the
jolly Elks.

for some legislation which he ayers

twice the cost of conducting that Of

The Elks organization were first
to raise a million dollars for war re-

FINANCE AND MARKETS

NEW. YORK, Dec. 12.--Sensational movements of money which jumped from s to IS per cent and then back to the minimum rate and the precarious conditions attending the international credit situation effected another down ward revision of prices on the stock exchange today.
 In the course of the "readjustment' during which speculative issues, mo- tably motors, oils, and steels regis tered extreme declines of to 15 points many margined accounts were closed out.
 To a considerable extent todays liquidation was impelled by the action of the federal reserve bank which uate yesterday announced another advance of 4 of one per cent in interest and rediscount rates.
 British demand bills fell to the low level of $S.661a. a fraction of cent under yesterdays low, but other foreign remittances, especially francs and fires, suggested that action was being taken abroad to check the de- moralizing decline.
 The rally of the last hour was not wholly due to the relaxation of money hates, the short interest doubtless GOV ering some of its contract son the showing made by the government crop report. This was especially favorable as to corn and winter wheat, in which final estimates were much in excess of the five-year average. Sales Of stock amounted to 1,375,000 shares. Bonds were heavy to weak. Total | sales, par value, aggregated $29.40o,o00,

 NEW YORK, Dec. 12.-Dun's tomor- row will say: Settlement of the coal strike this week, while favorable de- velopment of far reaching significance, unfortunately does not mean an inn
 mediate ending of the inconvenience and loss sustained by business through six weeks of interrupted mining opera
 tions. Measures of fuel conservation, impelled by conditions that had daily grown more serious, will not be aband- oned with the return to work of many thousands of bitmuminoius workers and some time must necessarily elapse before various important industries and trades will fully recover from the deleterious effects of the recent con- troversy. Shortened hours in not few mercantile establishments have been forced in season when the earis' activities of Christmas shoppers have been a conspicuous feature and pro duction and transportation have been further impeded at period when the call nearly everywhere is for more goods with which to satisfy current extensive requirements.
