Wouldn't Wash.

Chatting with Sir Ernest Shackle

told me that one Of the best stories
he has heard concerns a famous ar
tist
He was showing a lady visitor over
his studio one day and produced
charming little landscape, indicating

The lady looked at the handkerchief
and then turned a shocked face to the
artist. "Youll never be able to wash
that paint out" she said.-London

EDUCATION IS
SALVATION

Education doesn't necessarily
mean a new suit and shiny shoes
ball room gowns and roses-but it
gives the boy or girl an inner dig
nifty and self-respeN that makes
these things come naturally and as
of right when they do come.
Education will not make a lead
err of a man who is no leader, but it
will help, him grow who already pos
sesses the vital spark.
! Education will not make an SIS
tellectual" out of anybody. Neither
! will ten years of training make a
good boxer out of cinnamon bear.
Education is for the purpose of cul-
tivating the intellectual muscles of
the brain, whatever there are. Small
brain power, cultivated intensively,
is better than great brain power un-
trained and undirected. Samson had
the brute power to topple down the
temple, but not the brains to save
his own hide.
Education is no longer laughed at
because life is no longer haphazard
and reckless Nearly every human
activity has been developed to such
speed and efficiency that it re-
quires special training and expert
skill to carry it on. Not to give a
youngster an education is the same
as consigning him to the rock pile
for life.
This is the day in which the prof
its of education are most fully I'M
derstood and taken advantage of.
Men are able to demand pay for 1ev-
cry exclusive feature of ability.
Training is at premium, and the
trained man sets the premium rate.
Strange that at such an epoch we
should have to stop in our work and
advise young folks to go back to
SCHOOL, If they cannot see that
trained brains are the only saliva
ton amid the uproarious .competi-
ton for life and bread in this coun-
try, their parents and friends should
be able to.
Education is valuable because it
elevates the telescope by which man
looks at life, and places him among
those whose thinking sphere is above
the unframed, unlettered class. But
of late years this elevation has been
measured in dollars and the amount
of money that every days schooling
is worth is enough to make a man
wish he had never taken a holiday
in his life, or played hockey, or
stayed home Sick" or quit school
to make a mans wages.
The time is fast approaching when
a lack of education will mean a lack
of chance and the wages Of truancy,
failure in life.-F. C. K.

FAIR COMPETITION

This paper has received COM
munique from the Rev. A. l.. Peter
son of the Lutheran church for
ninst the Sunday movie act of the
Blackfoot city council. He writes:
"As a church we indeed deplore
the recent decision of the city coun-
Gil for opening up the way for Sun
day movies. 1t is certainly not aid
ing the churches any. 1t seems to
me that the churches in Blackfoot
did have it hard enough the way II
was, letting alone placing such OBJ
stacles in their way. Why should
not the picture show managers be
satisfied with doing business six days
out Of the week as other business
houses? We hope, however. that at

AN EXCELLENT INVESTMENT
Reclamation Record.

Some idea Of the profit In the
poultry business, In a small way,
may be had by the experience of Mrs.
w. H. Caldwell Of Fallon, Newlands
project, Nevada.
Mrs. Caldwell not only under
stands the poultry business thor
oughly but also keeps books and
knows posisisely~ what her flock is
producing. After figuring all ex-
enses of 165 hens for one year, to-
gether with the expense of keeping
$50 baby chicks up to five months
old, this little bunch of 1875 hens
Melted q little over $500 for the
twelve months.
Mrs. Caldwell uses all the modern
methods in the winter months she
works her hens under electric lights.
When you take into consideration
that her grain costs her 5 cents
per pound and that she is not located
near the large cities but sells her
eggs to her local merchant, some
idea can be had Of the possibilities
Of this industry properly handled
died.
Mrs. Caldwell cannot understand
why more women do not get into
this pleasant and profita BILE business,
for the work keeps them out of doors
a portion Of the time in addition to
making them Independent. She said:
"Give me five acres of land near
some good town and 1000 laying
hens, and can show an annual
profit Of $3O00."

w. Il. JORDAN TALKS OF
ORGANIZING WATER USERS

w. e. Jordan, secretary of the
Peoples Canal company, of More
land, after reading the article by
George Z. Hill as published in this
paper a few days ago, said he
thought Mr.. Hill was right in the
main, and that the water users Of
the upper valley and especially the
middle valley from American Falls
mp, should organize and gather In
FORMATION regarding the flow Of the
river and at all times be prepared
ito protect ourselves against selfish
claims Of other localities.
The large flow in the river at this
time aud the moves to cut off or
cut down the flow in some Of the
old canals lends color to the thought
that perhaps we are being robbed
of some of our rights now, and We
are not in possession Of information
by which to prove 1t. In an action in
court none of US could sustain any
kind Of contention in the face Of .
showing to the contrary by others,
because we have nothing to show.
Mr.. Jordan thinks we should or
ganize and make a study Of the sub
ject from now on, and that in va
rious ways we could more effective
ly solve our problems as they pre-
sent themselves.

SOME MORE ABOUT
MAKING MONEY FROM HONEY
(Recla nation Record).

Reclamation Record).
In a recent number of the Rec
ord women were urged to consider
! the bee industry. Read what the
Nevada bee man says and think 1t
over:
Harry Warden, the bee man, has
just shipped in a carload Of bee
equipment and has already placed
bees in 20 hives and figures on
about 700 this year. These have
been pretty we'll scattered over the
Newlands project, usually on dry
sandy knobs that are worthless for
anything elsea The bee induetry
has been given considerable atten-
ton in this valley for a number Of
years, and carloads Of the finest
honey are shipped out every sea-
son.
The bee man says that If enough
bees were provided to gather all the
honey Of Lahontan valley it would
be worth as much Us the entire al
falfa crop. He may be correct. and
if so it would make some honey, for
the alfalfa crop the past year is
estimated to have been worth about
$1,000, 900.
This appears to indicate that some
one is letting a very valuable crop
go to waste every year. Honey on
the government projects is gathered
largely from alfalfa, which blooms
almost constantly, and it is said the
honey gathered from 1t is unsur-
passed in quality.

Encourage the Swallow.

If you want to free the neighbor-
hood Of mosquitoes encourage swallows
to make themselves at home. says the
American Forestry association Of
Washington. These birds feed almost
entirely upon obnoxious insects and
they will do much toward protecting
orchards and other trees from insect
pests. No better investment can be
made, therefore, than some houses set
out for martins and other swallows. OF
the blue swallows the purple martin is
the largest, the male being entirely
blue above and below, while the female
is blue above with gray breast. Swal-
lows are highly migratory, most Of
them spending the winter In South
America.

Immunity From Ivy Poisoning.

Persons susceptible to ivy poisoning
can be rendered immune by taking
a treatment described by DR.. Jay
Frank Schumberg in the Journal Of
the American Medical association. 1t
consists in taking after meals prepa-
ration of tincture of poison ivy, In
doses gradually increasing from one
drop to a teaspOonful. The immunity
conferred by this lasts for about q
month. Ivy poisoning may also be
cured by administering the same drug
in larger doses, increasing more rap

MAPPING OF
ALL MIDDLEBURY
JUST FINISHED

A birds eye view of Middlebury
technical but still quite as interesting
as might be obtained by a camera and
airplane has just been completed by
Frank ]. Donahue, surveyor for the
Sanborn Map Company of II Broad
way, N. Y. 1t is no hasty snap shot,
but detail of geometric lines which it
has taken Mr.. Donahue two months
to develop and which will still require
much time and expense for the map
company to complete in lithograpic
form. The maps will be then placed
on file with the forty or more insurance
companies which have fire risks in this
section.
To the man on the street, or to the
ordinary house-dweller, the work is
chiefly interesting as a mere glimpse of
the thoroughness with which the insur-
ance people keep their eye on all of us.

maps of Middlebury, each about 20 30
inches, shows the location of prac-

buildings and out buildings If your
dwelling is of wooden construction you
have the misfortune to have it colored
on the maps a very luried yellow in

the building is of brick construction, it
is colored red, and if of stone or marble,
as are many of the college buildings,
it is colored blue. The roofs of every
building are inspected and the material
is indicated

with tar-paper roof, it is shown by

pointed State Director of the united
financial campaign that will soon be
launched in the state. The work of
the financial drive will be undertaken
by Prof McF Farland, although it will
necessitate additional clerical help in
his office The united financial cam

of careful preparation, in an intensive
period of eight days ending on May

TWO PNEUMONIA
DEATHS, SAME HOME

Although there are encouraging re-
ports from many of the sick beds and
there is general optimism that the
epidemic of influenza is not seriously
gaining ground, the community was
greatly shocked on Tuesday morning
this week when it learned of two deaths
of pneumonia on the same night at
the home of Mr. and Mrs. Aurelius
Sykes on High street The deaths were
those of Mrs. Sykes and her sister-in-
law, Mrs. Emily Reese Hunt, wife of
Walter Hunt of New Haven.
Mr. and Mrs. Sykes moved here from
New Haven about a year ago and
purchased the Hagar place.
Mrs. Hunts death occurred shortly
after midnight on Tuesday morning
She had come to the Sykes home to
be with her daughter, Alberta, who had
been taken ill while boarding at the
home of her aunt, Mrs Sykes Mrs.
Hunt contracted the disease while car
ing for her daughter and shortly be-
came the more seriously i'll.
Mrs. Sykes in the meantime had also
developed pneumonia and died on
few hours later at about five O'Clock
Tuesday morning. She was - years
old and is survived by her husband,
also her parents, Mr.. and Mrs E. G..
Hunt of New Haven, and five brothers,
Harry Hunt and E. G.. Hunt, jr., of
Middlebury Leigh and George Hunt
of Rutland and Walter Hunt of New
Haven.
Mrs. Hunt who was approaching her
fortieth year, is survived by her hus-
band and two children, h'No-ta and
George Hunt, and also her mother Mrs.
Martha Reese of Middlebury and two
brothers, Floyd Reese and Frank
Reese, both of Middlebury, and one
sister, Mrs Nathan Caldwell of Bur
lington. Both women were residents
of New Haven up to the time of their
marriage and were highly esteemed in
that vicinity as well as in Middlebury.
The double funeral was held at the
High street home Yesterday morning at
eleven o'clock and was private. The
Rev. H. c. Newell oficiated, and fol-
lowing the service the bodies were
