STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION
URGES ACTION
Roosevelt Day in Idaho Schools Set
for Next Friday Oct. "a

The State Department of Education
has set aside Friday, October Gath as
Roosevelt Day" in the public schools.
by issuing the following circular:
THE State Board of Educ tiOn ap-
proves the high purpose of the memo
rial committee in directing the atten-
tion of the youth of the land 10 the
need for the genuine Americanization
of our people and the ilinstrious ex-
ample of patriotic devotion to that
great cause on the part OF the late
President Roosevelt, one time Presi-
dent of the United States. We look
back upon the illustrious statesmen Of
our National history, forgetting party
differences, dwelling only on their
common love and devotion to the cause
of human liberty and the development
of National life. We point to Wash
ingto1 and Jefferson. to Jackson and
Lincoln and others alike as examples
worthy of imitation and admiration.
I'm this spirit all Americans are
asked to celebrate Americanization
Day and to contribute such small sums
as their hearts may dictate to a me-
mortal of one of the great characters

LOOK OUT FOR THE cARsIl

October Is to 81 has been dedicated
by the railroads of the United States
for campaign against accidents In
this matter the public is as yitally in
terested as are the railroads. for it is
TO be remembered that no railroad en-
ployee has ever yet been acused ofget-
ting off the track or the right of way to
chase down some fellow and run over
him. It is wei toalso remember that
an automobile is always outclassed lin
a bucking contest with a railway To-
comotiye. So the cooperation of the
public is especially invited to assist the
roads during this no-accident cam
paigl. a least to the extent of keep
ing out of the way of moving trains.
There will be 1877 roads, employing
nearly two million men and operating
approximately 231 900 miles of track
competing for first place in this drive.
Each employee is going to be asked by
his company to individually do his ut
most during the period of fourteen
days TO keep from injuring himself, or
being the cause OF injuring others.
The eyes Of the world will be upon
the American railroads. during this
campaign. for already favorable atten-
ton and earnest inquiry has been re-
ceived by the railway officials from
the British and Japanese governments
regarding the success of such an under
taking in America.

STATE OFFERS ARMY TRUCKS
FOR COUNTY ROAD WORK
Conditions of Contract Make it lmpos-
sibie for Lincoln County to Accept.

Recently she Federal Government
allotted to the various states, num-
Der of army trucks to be used by them
on road work. The Bureau of State
Highways has prepared a contract
whereby the highway districty. or
county commissioners within the
state may secure the use of the trucks.
The contract reads that the trucks
may be used only on such roads as
may be under construction in coop
GRAFTON with the Federal Government,
or on highways upon which the Fed
eral Government furnished some part
of the original construction charges.
Since Lincoln County does not yet
have roads that come within this class
it is not elegible to receive the trucks.
The financial clause of the contract
does not give a sufficient guarantee
to the user to justify the risk in the
investment. A preliminary payment
of 5000 is demanded on each truck,
rental charge of SIS per month is re-
quired, the state to furnish the chauf-
feur. who must be paid $125 a month
and expenses by the highway district
or the county using his services, and
the truck must be further equipped
with a hydraulic dump within 80
days of receipt. The hydraulic dump
will cost between $500 and $500. The
state reserves the right to withdraw
the truck upon ten days notice and
the user must guarantee to send it
prepaid to any destination in the
state. as directed by the Highwey
Bureau.
To use one of the trucks requires an
initial Investment of over $1,000 and
a monthly cost of $40 and the ex-
penses for the driver. When the truck
is surrendered to the state the ny
draulic dump must go with the truck |

FOR THE PUBLIC HEALTH

Miss Amy Kelly, of the University
Extention Department, is in the coun-
ty this week with Miss Sinclair, the
county nurse. holding community meet
ings for the purpose of arousing the
public interest necessary to secure the
largest possible results from the work
of Miss Sinclair as county nurse
Meetings have been held at Dietrich
Richheld. Marley. the Darrah school,
and Grange Hail and one will he held
to day at the North Richfield COM
munity.
The most hearty cooperation of the
mothers particularly, will be necessary
to secure effective results from the
work of Miss Sinclair. Such a wide
spread idea prevails that when a nurse
is mentioned the party needing her
assistance is sick enough to need
doctor, that it requires a vigorous cam
paign of education to eradicate il and
in it's place install the idea that most
humen fleshly ills may be avoided by
intelligent direction of skilled nurse
Miss Sinclair is employed to teach the
children how to avoid the need of
doctor.
Miss Sinclair will will make her first
examination of the schools for con-
tagfous diseases and next win take up
