In looking over the Mountain
States Monitor, we note many good
articles, some OF which bring out
suggestions and show where we
are simply passing through life hur-
riedly grasping for wealth and CIV
ing but little thought to people in
distress. A kind word or a smile cost
nothing and Outlines brings cheer
and comfort where it is needed
Below is clipping from the
Monitor which we will pass on to
the readers of the Enterprise:
A Stolen Kiss
One cold, snowy morning, a few
years ago, / came out of my home
on my way to work. Half way down
the block chubby little fellow, cur
ly hair, dirty face, half-dressed and
shoes unlaced, ran out of house
and started toward the street car
line. He was crying and his little
bare arms were extended. He was
pleading for something with all the
soul that was within him. 1 stopped
by his side and asked him why he
was crying.
do you see that man way down
there?" he sobbed, pointing his hand
toward the car track.
Eyes, honey" 1 said.
We'll, he's my daddy, and he went
away and didn't kiss me goodbye"
said the child, and he looked up into
my face through a flood of tears.
The disappointment and grief l read
there will ever live in my memory. ]
stopped down and picked the little
fellow up in my arms, pressed his
lips to mine, and told
lim:
There, little fellow, don't cry; 1
will catch your daddy and give him
your kiss
well, all right, then" he replied,
and a smile crept across the child S
lace and his sorrow was gone.
l don't know where that little boy
s now never saw him again, but
hat one little kiss that father thot-
essly spurned shall nestle down deep
n my soul as sweet memory-and
t will never be delivered.

BUREAU OF WAR
RISK INSURANCE

u RISK INSURANCE
Announcement is made by Director
r. G. Cholmeley-ones of the Blu
reau of War Risk Insurance that the
insurance division of the bureau il
virtually at the end of its period OF
congestion and consequent dissatis-
faction and vexatious delays, result
ing from the great volume of work
suddenly thrown upon it by the de-
mobilization of the armed forces dur
ing the past year.
| Former service men whose insur-
ance has lapsed or has been Cancelled
are encouraged to take advantage of
the very liberal provisions for re-
instatement of War Risk insurance
by the payment of two monthly prem
iums with the application and a
satisfactory statement of health.
They are assured that from now on,
receipts for premiums will be sent
to them within a few days from the
date of the original receipt of the
remittance. Instead of the form para
graphs and unsatisfactory form let
tiers which formerly it was necessary
to use to answer the flood of mail,
they will be replied to with real let
ters in insurance cases which require
detailed and specific answers.
The number of unposted premiums
in the bureau, which last October
was approximately $4,000 has just
been reduced to an average of TO-
DO or less than one days work.
Unanswered mail in the insurance
shows reduction of approx
mately 500 from the daily balance
If five months ago. Probably it will
% two or three weeks before it will
20 possible to answer all the letters
IS quickly as It is now possible to
nail out receipts for premiums, but
is matter of only few weeks be-
ore the answering of all ordinary
Inquiries in reference to insurance
matters within four days of their
eceipt in the bureau will be the
egular practice.
While some difficulties due to fail
re OF service men to furnish serial
umbers and other necessary informa
ion always will be inevitable, very i,
erious handicaps in the addressing !
I the men have Just been overcome. II

pretty strenuous week for him. Firs
he noticed was that the price of p
per had again shot upward, and thu
ink house informed him of another
price increase, and he had to have
some more plates, and the linotype
needed repairs, note was due at
the bank, and his deposit account was
in the red, and the house rent was
due, and the coal pile was frightfully
low, and the baby had been sick, and
the foreman thought he ought to
have an increase in wages, and the
stock of news print on hand was
mighty low. Otherwise things were
going fairly we'll, so the editor went
, to church.
Jesus laid 1t All was the first
song. And as it was being sung the
editor looked around the congrega-
ton and saw twenty-six men singing
with lusty voices who owed him from
one to three years subscription of
which fact they had been notified
three or four times. And if they ex-
pect to get the newspaper until Jesus
pays the bill they are mistaken.
They'll pay it themselves, and burned
quick, too, or justice of the peace |
will look after the matter.
1--WE Shall Know Each Other |
There was the second song, and as
the congregation sang the editor saw
men and women singing who would |
not recognize each other on the
streets here. He saw husband and |
wife singing who hadn't spoken a
kind word to each other since Heck
was pup. If these people know each
other there they'd better be getting
acquainted down here.
81 Love to Tell The Story was
another song, and the editor believed
that most of the singers were sim
cere. If there is little story of scan
dial or gossip they don't love to tell,
we never heard of it. AS story tellers
most of them have that famous Ara
Didh yOuh6 laoJ DdShOu I'LL IhO
boards, and you'll remember she had
a thousand and one of them tucked
up her sleeve.
=" I'm Glad Salvation Is Free was
the next song, and the way the most
of the congregation sang it was evil
dence that they were really glad
But when the contribution box was
passed around they gave additional
proof, if any were needed. While the
belief that salvation is free, what
was the use of putting up any money
therefor? All foolishness to pay for
that is free, Ell?
God Be With You Till We Meet
Again was the closing song, and I'm
afraid most of the singers are going
to be awfully lonesome if they de-
pend on that We're all so busy try
ing to get the best of our neighbors
hat we don't 'neighbor' much, and
when we act like that it's cinch
God isn't going to pay much atten-
ion.
The editor is going to church
again, pretty soon"

STATEMENT REGARDING
TEACHER SHORTAGE
And Salaries in the State of Idaho.

And Salaries in the State of Idaho.
The State Teachers Association
Committee, investigating teacher
shortage and salaries in Idaho, call
attention to their findings. The re-
port, covering twenty-six counties
and thirty-two independent districts,
shows the following:
354 teachers entered the profes-
sion in September 1919.
Out of $50 positions in Southern
Idaho, 1891 teachers were new to
their schools.
There is an actual shortage of APP
proximately 100 teachers at this time
450 teachers began their work last
Fall on permits. OF these 172 failed
in the examinations.
Those in charge state the outlook
for next year in the following terms:
'great shortage of teachers; gen
erai progress will be retarded; FRA
Their gloomy; few applications re-
ceived"; Continuous streams of
teachers pouring into other lines of
work"
The solution to the problem is put
in the following terms: Better sal
aries and better living conditions"
(salary question mainly; erection
of teachers cottages; increase in
salaries; better boarding accommo-
dations.''
1t is evident from the results of
the investigation that we are facing
a crisis in our public schools. The
become even more serious
when the statements of those in
charge of teacher-training in our
State institutions are taken into ac-
count. Not only are teachers leaving |
the school rooms, but Increasingly |
small number are entering the pro-
fession The State University reports |

1ates will be ready for work next !

approximately ITS teachers all told
or next year. This makes grand
otal of Eat new teachers for the
acancies that will occur in the 1000
