LET EACH COMMUNITY FIX ITS
OWN TIME.

The interstate commerce commits
sion having refused the request of the
state utilities commission to place
Idaho within the mountain time zone.
a movement has been started in Boise
to induce the coming session of the
legislature to pass law fixing noun
tain time as the standard for Idaho.
Public sentiment throughout the state
is very much divided on this time
question. and in view of that situation.
it would be a serious mistake for the
legislature to undertake to force its
decree upon the people An example
of the division of opinion is presented
here in this county Wallace favors
fast or mountain time while Kellogg.
only ten miles away prefers slow or
coast time. Similar differences exist
all over the state, and for the legisla-
ture to assume authority to settle the /
matter one way or the other would I
we believe be strongly resented. Since .
he interstate commerce commission
'efuses to act because to do so would
'esult in confusion in handling in
erstate business. the only solution
Gems to be for each community to
dopt the time that suits the pleasure
nd convenience of the majority of
IS citizens. Certainly the legislature t
hould hesitate to force fast time up s
n those sections of the state where
he people are opposed TO it, Their
fishes are entitled to as much con-
Iteration as those who insist upon e
st time. t

WE MUST FEED THE STARVING
CHILDREN OF EUROPE.

Herbert Hoover has undertaken the
task of keeping three and a half mill
hon children in Europe from starving
this winter. and his success depends
upon the sympathy and generosity of
the people of the United states. 1t
will require s23OOO.OOO and that
amount must be raised in this country.
other countries will help to the limit
Of their ability, but their efforts will
be without avail unless we perform
our duty in this great emergency. This
appeal transcends all prejudice with
respect 10 nationality and all passions
growing out of the war. These chill
dren are helpless and innocent victims
of the ambition and wickedness Of
men. and the knowledge of their hun
ger and suffering should stir the
heart of every true American and
loosen his purse strings for their re-
lief Ten dollars will prevent one Of
these children from starving during
the winter. 1t viii provide one meal
day Our own children must have
their three meals a day and the privi-
lege Of raiding the pantry between
meals. Living under these conditions,
it should be no sacrifice to provide
one meal a day for a starving Euro
pean child Indeed it should be re-
garded pleasure to help these little
unfortunates of Europe at this time
when the joyous bells of Christmas
are proclaiming the message of peace
and good will This is not a drive. 1t
matters not how much or how often
you have given to other causes this |
is one that you must not refuse Give /
any amount you can afford. You will |
have your reward in knowing that /
through your generosity child is be- |
ing supplied with wholesome food who |
would otherwise be starving. There
Is no false sentiment or hysteria
about this movement When Mr..
Hoover says that these millions of
children will perish unless the Ameri-
AN people provide food for them. he
'nows what he is talking about; and
When he says that every dollar con-
ributed viii be used TO provide food
or these little ones the American
'eople know that he will make his
word good.

The average reformer never knows
when to stop. Having made the
states and nation dry, at least so far
as the enactment of prohibition laws
are concerned, the leaders of the
forces of reform have now turned
their attention to the Sabbath with
the view to keeping it holy in accord
ance with their own peculiar and pur-
itanical ideas. Congress of course
can not pass a law regulating the OBJ
servance of the Sabbath in the states
but it can pass such laws for the Dis

NO STATE BUREAU OF FORES
TRY NEEDED.

a conference was recently held in
Boise which was made up of state Of
icials and representatives of timber
companies having large holdings in the
state The purpose seems to have
been to impress the governor with the
desirability of creating a state bureau
Of forestry for the purpose of super
vising the large timber holdings Of
the state, replant the forests, sell the
ripe timber, arrange for grazing per
mits, guard against fire and other
purposes having in view the conser-
walton of the timber resources, and
incidentally probably to relieve the
timber companies to some extent of
the expense of supervising and pro-
tecting their holdings. For a COM
plete argument in support of the Gre
alton Of such a bureau, the people of
this state have only to recall the spe-
cious plea put up under the Pinchott
regime when two thirds of the states
area was withdrawn from entry and
has since remained in a condition of
disuse. What the state needs is utili-
cation of the resources and encour-
agement for the occupation of the
land, rather than the adoption of the
Pinchott policy of perpetuating the
wilderness. Idaho is sufficiently han
dicapped by the federal conservation
policy without embarlIing into the |
system on its own account As the /
owner of vast bodies of timber, the |
state should of course cooperate with .
timber companies and the federal for
est service in protecting the timber
from fire, and in all other respects
handle this magnificent resource for
he benefit of the state. But this does
lot require any special bureau with
nigh salaried chief a staff of assist
lnts, and numerous rangers, foresters
md what not to increase the burden
Of the expense already carried by the
taxpayers of the state Whatever
the governor may
moose to make to the legislature

FOREST BENEATH WATER.

When the government ship canal
which connects Puget sound with
Lake Washington was opened the wa
ters of the lake were lowered u feet
While wire dragging the lake. says a
contributor, the United States geo
detic survey discovered a submarine
forest. The tops of the submerged
trees were so close to the surface that
they were a menace to navigation
Underwater logging operations to
clear the lake were therefore started
1t is thought that the forest is pre-
historic, a remnant of one that grew
in Lake Washington area in the days
when it was dry land; or that great
landslides in remote ages carried the
trees into the lake.
The trees were without branches
and stood vertical. or nearly so; they
were -petrifed. The longest trunk
removed was 121 feet inches. The
top 10 inches thick. rose to within
feet of the surface of the lake. The
butt was 8 feet 6 inches in diameter,
and the roots. firmly embedded in the
bottom of the lake, had a 20 foot
spread. 1t was found 1900 feet from

One of the most famous of the
speed demons of the old Santa Fe
trail was F. X Aubrey, whose ride
from Santa Fe to independence, Mo.
in 1854, achieved a record for speed
and endurance that was never sur
passed in his day. says a writer in the
Kansas City Star
Aubrey was an enterprising New
Yorker who came west in the latter
part of 1915 and broke into the
freighting game 1t was the custom
OF the easy going traders of that time
to make but one trip year over the
trail. but Aubrey soon had his trains
making two trips a year. He amassed
a fortune and spent large sums in ex-
pediting the service

FACTS ABOUT DYNAMITE.
Detroit News)


There is a general belief that dyna-
mite eXerts its force downward. and
in proof of this the average man will
point to the fact that dynamite ex-
ploded on the ground will tear a hole
in it, This is true enough. but if a
slab of stone, say three feet square.
was raised just over the charge it
would be shattered to bits, just as it
would if the charge were on top of it,
The only explanation lies in the
fact that on a stone slab there rests
a weight of nearly nine tons of air.
Air if moved slowly. does not offer
much resistance; but when an at
tempt is made to remove it swiftly
such as by exploding dynamite. its
resistance becomes enormous and il
Is as if the dynamite was trying. its
olow through sand. Therefore. the re-
5istance of the ground beneath the
explosion is about the same as that of
he air with the difference that the
lole made in the air is instantly filed

MUST BE A READJUSTMENT OF
WAGES AND FARM PRICES.

The assertion of the labor leader
that there will be no reduction in
wages and the insistence of the farm
er that he must have the war time
price for his wheat present a situa-
ton that is absolutely ntenable from
the standpoint of a general readjust-
ment OF business and Industrial con-
dItons, which all concede must be ac-
complshed The utter unreasonable
ness of the attitude assumed by these
two essential factors in the Industrial
life of our country is made more as
tonishng in the fact that both are
clamoring for a reduction in the cost
Of living while stubbornly resisting
the very thing that will make the re-
duction possible. A statement recent
ly issued by the National City Bank
OF New York deals with this phase of
readjustment in the following ex-
tract:
THE whole social order is founded /
upon the principle of cooperation and
reciprocity. If each person will com
prehend that the market for his own
products or services is dependent mp
on the ability of others to buy them.
he will understand that the largest
degree Of prosperity for any group or q
class is obtainable in state of gem ,
eral prosperity. when production and ,
the exchanges everywhere are well y
balanced. {
1T is a reasonable expectation that a
o readjustment of wages and prices t
must follow the war period and it is II
apparent that this readjustment has t
begun. The farmers have already Ii
