FLOWERS HOURS OF SLEEP
That They Differ Is rroof Of
Adaptablity Of Everything
In Mature.

That flowers sleep Is evident TO the
most casual observer. The beautiful
daisy opens at sunrise and closes at
sunset, whence Its name days Eye"
The morning glory opens its flower
with the day. The "four o'clock"
awakes at four o'clock in the morning.
but closes Its eyes In the middle of the
day. and the dandelion is in full bloom
only while there is strong light. The
habit of some flowers is certainly curl
ous, and furnishes one of the many
instances which prove the singular
adaptabllity of everything in nature.
The reason Is found In the method by
which this class Of flowers Is fertillzcd.
Flowers which are fertillzed by
night flying insects derive no advan-
tnge from being open by day; and, on
the other hand those which are fer
tllzed by bees would gain nothing by
being open at night. Nay, 1t would be
disadvantage, because 1t would rem
der them liable to be robbed of their
honey and pollen by Insects which are
incapable of fertilizing them. II Is
possible, then, that the closing of flow
ers may have reference to the hnbit Of
insects, and II may be observed, also,
In support Of this, that wind-fertllized
flowers, never sleep.

Blind Horses.

The manner In which blind horses
get about without coming to more
harm than they do is remarkable.
They rarely, II ever, hit their heads
against fence or stone wall, and
will sheer OF when they come near
one. II appears from careful obser-
walton that II is neither shade nor
shelter which warns them Of the dan.
ger. On an absolutely sunless and
MINDLESS day their behavior Is the
same. Their olfactory nerves doubt.
less become very sensitive, for they
will poke their heads downward in
search of water fifty yards before they
come to n stream crossing the road
way.
II cannot be an abnormally devel-
oped sense Of hearing which leads
them to do this, for they will act alike
though the water be stagnant pool.
Men who have been blind for any
great length Of time develop some
what similar instincts TO blind horses.

T. Aec0uniancy. which Is the science
of systematizng business, has his
/ tory that runs back at least 1000
| years. Very early In the development
Of nations II was found that in COM
mcrce as well as In the affairs Of state,
systematic and careful accnunt-keep-
Ing were Indispensable. These sys-
TENS were, at first. crude and abori-
ous. butthey at least Kept the finances
OF the milton and the marts Of trade
from being chaotic.
The invention Of double entry boek-
Keeping early in sle fifteenth century
by the merchants and bankers of Ven
ice gave to the commerce Of Europe an
Invaluable trade instrument, and one
without which tile great commercial
enterprises of the later centuries could
hardly have existed.
And 50 1t has been on down to the
present time; there has been parallel

continue without the latter. Even the

much, and we can hardly imagine any
one silly enough to attempt to carry
on any kind Of business enterprise
without keeping books.
bookkeeping, as formal subject OF
study. is taught In most Of the public
and private schools of this country,
but It is only that form Of bookkeeping
that applies to til. affairs of the mer.

has yet to learn that bookkeeping Is
quite as necessary to the prosperity Of

farmer and the housekeeper as it Is tP

Prohibition Law
Will Be Enforced
State Constabulary and All Other
Peace Officers Enlisted With
Internal Revenue Forces
ALIKE IN STATE AND NATION

Full power to enforce the national
wartime and constitutional prohi-
bition laws was Monday asked Of the
federal government for the Idaho
state constabulary.
Robert o. Jones, commissioner of
law enforcement, made the request
of Daniel c.. Roper, federal commits
sioner of internal revenue. In SO
doing he complied with suggestion
made by Mr.. Roper to- Governor
| Davis. sf
All Peace Officers in Line
Both the regular members of the
constabulary and the sheriffs. of the
state will be included in the proposed
organization to enforce the federal
law. This organization, in emergen-
cies, will also include every peace
officer in the state, such officers be-
ing by state law reserve members
of the state constabulary force.
Good Opinion of Idaho
In letter to Governor Davis,
which letter brought forth the con-
stabulary offer, the federal revenue
commissioner said:
1T is my information that your
state prohibition law is being sat
isfactorily administered and that
through your state organization the
requirements of the federal law may
be met without the organization of
a separate federal administrative
force"
Federal funds have been offered
to Idaho for this work II they should
be necessary, but it is not proposed
to pay additional salaries to the
members Of the constabulary.

Arrnistice Day
at Washington

Armistice day was celebrated at
Washington, D. c., in a way fitting
to it's significance. At dark Monday
evening three gigantic crosses shone
out from high places on the walls of
the administration buildings, illumi-
mated from darkened windows.
These symbols of purity in ideals
marked the beginning of the capital
city's recognition of the first ami
versary Of Armistice day.
President Wilson, members of his
cabinet, and General Pershing issued
formal messages commemorating the
day, congratulating the people upon
their unity and purpose in prosecu-
ting their part of the great war sue
cessfully, and predicting triumph in
peace as in war. :

OLD-TIME SHOPPING IS
ADVISABLE NOW

The new and modern habit of selecting
what you want and paying the price is being
discarded now by the rich and poor, and this
is the reason:
Prices are so shot to pieces, there are such
wide differences in the same goods among diff
ferent stores in the same town, person is justi-
fed in going into store and asking to see
whatever is wanted, getting prices and then
saying, THANK you for. showing me-" and
either buying or walking out.
That is what our buyer has been doing
among the wholesalers for long time. He
found that some houses have run on certain
goods and are cleaned up and have to buy again
and again, and they come promptly to the lat
est factory costs. Other houses have the same
lines that do not move we'll, and for weeks and
months there are big bargains awaiting the
diligent buyer who hunts till he finds those
bargains.

department, was so seriously injured
that he may not be in the game again
for some time.
With these first string men on the
lines, all hope of giving the Uni
versity the close game that was ex-

severe is the loss of Newman, around

the receiving end of many forward

on the big Auburn team for Howard.
But in spite of their handicaps, the
Bulldogs wills be found unfolding their
name and traditions. They will go into
the game with the determination to
make the chin red line" earn every
score that it gets. Coach Dillon has a
number of very good substitutes, who
have been prepared for just such an
emergency. A strong man in Carr's
