We Voted Right

We Voted Right
A former proposition by the fed
eral government was to the effect
that whatever counties or road dis
tricts should expend money in con-
nection with the federal government,
the government would match dollar
for dollar up to the sum of $780,
900, and Immediately the counties
and the road districts in Idaho be-
gan voting for and appropriating
money to meet that offer. This con-
tinued until $16,00O,OO0 worth had
been appropriated or voted to be ap-
propriated. Bingham County was one
of the counties that acted early but
it was not early enough to have yet
received its share of the money. Just
when we are going to receive it is a
problem. Those that came in last
with their appropriations of course
are far from getting any Of it, but
1t shows very progressive spirit
among the different counties of the
state and that the attention of the
public is directed to this particular
matter on the ballot there Is little
doubt as to how they would dispose
of it. 1t would carry by very great
with scarcely any opposi-
tion; but the trouble about these spe-
cial matters on the ballot is that peo-
pie are apt to overlook them.
Rotarians VIII Act
The Rotary club appointed J. H.
Andersen to look after that matter
in Bingham county to see that peo-
pies attention is directed to this
bond issue. He will appoint men,

son for each voting precinct in the
county whose duty it will be to in

they can vote yes or no on it.
Our Reputation AT Stake
Bingham County has reputation
for being very progressive in road
construction. 1t commenced early
and has kept at it. In the bond cleo
ton of March, 1919, it voted it's
bonds by one of the largest major
tiles that has ever carried in the
state, namely, SO 1-2 per cent for
the bonds.
Because of the way the bond cleo
ton was conducted because of the
high vote in favor of the bonds, be-
cause Of the way the road construc-
ton work was planned and because
of the good standing of the county
in financial matters the bonds sold
for an immense premium. 1t was

MAKING MONEY OFF
KIPLING'S AUTOGRAPHY

At one time Rudyard Kipling al
ways paid his bills, MO matter how
small they happened to be, with
checks After a while he. discovered,
to his amaizement, that his bank ac-
count showed much larger balance
than the stubs Of his checkbook war
ranted. In fact while he was drawing
checks for small amounts almost daily
his money in the bank did not seem
to dwindle in the least.
For a long time he was at loss to
account for this astonishing fact until
he happened one day to visit an Of
fee, the occupant of which was an en-
thusiastic autography collector. There
the author saw one of his own checks
framed and hanging on the wall
Thus the mystery was solved. II
appeared that the local shopkeepers
found that they often got more for
Kipling's checks by selling them to
autograph hunters than they could by
cashing them at the bank, and So
although the author kept on drawing
checks. his bank balance remained al
most intact-Los Angles Times

Merely a Good Story,

Wars produce many stories of fic-
ton, some Of which the oftener they
are told the more they are believed to
be true. The Civil war was no ex-
ception to this rule and the story of
the apple tree is one Of these fctions
based on a slight foundation of fact.
There was, indeed, an apple orchard
on one side of the hill occupied by the
Confederate forces. Running diagonal
~ up the hill was wagon road, which,
at one point, ran very near one Of the
trees, so that the wheels of the We
hicles had on that side cut off the
roots of the tree, leaving little en-
bankment. General Babcock, of my
staff, reported to me that when he first
met General Lee he was sitting on this
embankment, with his feet in the road
below, and his back resting against
the tree. The story had no other foun.
dation than that. Like many other
good stories, it would be very good II
it was only true.-Mem0irs OF
Ulysses S. Grant.

Town or Country?

When the city man, cribbed, cabined
and confined within walls, or, is on the
street, surrounded by towering build
ings and hurrying throngs, reads of
the daily chores Of Governor Coolidge
envy rises in his breast. The man who
can step out and NOW bit before
breakfast, use an axe on frewood,
putter around in big cool barn and
do this and that in the open, clean
country places has great advantage
over the trim city chap in white shoes
and immaculate linen.
He is not concerned over collars Or
ties, shoes or trouser creases, nor
any of the so-called refinements of
dress. He can wear what he will,
even old-fashioned high top boots,
and be free to sit down on dusty Din
in the barn or in the cool grass under
shade tree, with never thought of
unkind consequences. He is totally
emancipated from the thraldom Of
fashion and urban convention. He
does not look as neat as the city chap,
but he is more comfortable
With tobacco in his old tobacco box.
pole and line, and can of worms,
the deep holes in the creeks promise
him sport, and he may ramble as he
will over hill and down dale the long
day through and at sunset sit down
to hot biscuits, yellow butter, fried
chicken, mashed potatoes, apple but
ter, fresh pickles, cold buttermilk,
cherry preserves, apple pie, and sim
ply gorge himself and sleep like a
baby, in the country. What is town
basement compared with that?
How preverse is human nature! In
town it longs for the country freedom
and fodder. In the country it hank
ers for the bright lights and elegancies
of city life. But of two good lives,
| one spent on farm or in village
and the other in the rush and roar of
a big city, who dares say the latter
is the better? Omaha Bee.

suPERsTITloNs OF THE PAST
Peculiar Beliefs That Not So Very
Many Years Ago Had Almost Uni
versaI Credence.

A reader furnishes us with a list
of old superstitions which were part
of our folk lore in this part of the
country before we had to have folk
lore societies to preserve this sort of
thing:
A rooster growing at the front door
meant visitor coming.
A twig catching young lady's dress
meant beau.
An itching ear meant that some one
was talking about you.
To turn back after starting meant
bad luck.
Opening an umbrella in the house
meant bad luck to the house.
A measuring worm on woman's
frock meant new dress.
An itching left hand meant that you
would marry soon.
An itching right hand meant that
you would shake hands with strang-
err.
Seeing the new moon over the left
shoulder meant one would soon get
money.
Probably most Of us are supersti-
tious about the number 13, just as peo-
pie were long time ago. Our own
superstitiOns will amuse subsequent
generation, as those recalled by our
reader amuse us. Only subsequent
generation can safely laugh at super
stitions. Socrates was put to death for
laughing at some of the superstitions
of the Greeks Let us, then, laugh at
these and take the snperstitions of our
own time as seriously as we please

PEAK where NOAH LANDED
Mount Ararat, in Northwestern Per-
STA, Is Now Part Of Recently
Created "Buffer" State.

Youthful students Of sacred history,
If they will look up the map Of the
near East, will find in the extreme
northwestern part Of Persia a noun
tain peak marked Mount Ararat That
should give them a fin starting point,
for they will remelnbtr that it was on
Mount Ararat that Noah, in the Bib
lical account landed. Mount Ararat
is the loftiest peak in Azerbaidjan,
1900 feet above sea level, but if they
have neglected news from Europe
they may not know that Azerbaidjan
is new republic established by the
political strife in eastern Europe in
the expectation that it will act as a
political and military buffer for some
of the great nations.
The inhabitants of Azerbaidjan are
Persians, Armenians, Kurds, Tartar
Turks and Arabs, whose valleys are
veritable garden spots. It ranks in
statistics as one Of the most produc-
tive spots in all Persia, but young
readers will find their chief interest in
the fact that it contains Mount Ara
rat, which gave Noah his first shelter,
according to the accepted narrative
The erection of Azerbaidjan as buff
fer state brings the remote past and
the immediate present together in a
way which may also awaken the in
terest Of those who have moved past
the years of youthful curiosity.-Pitts-

site of an eighteenth-century palace
where public park is to be laid out
an elaborate ancient garden was dis
covered. One side consists of three
terraces at different levels, with founda

Mrs. William A. Cummings, 1893 Ed

Mast-Furnishinu Tree.

In Canada and eastern United
States the larch. sturdy tree, which
belongs to the pine family, often grows
SO or 60 feet high and is generally
known as hackmatack, while in the
Central states it is called tamarack.
The European variety is even taller
and has longer leaves which don beau
tiful autumn tints before falling.
On account of its long, tapering
form, the tree is extremely useful for
masts in sailing vessels, telegraph
poles, and a variety of purposes, and
as it is common from the Arctic circle
to the United States, it is easily found
for the especial use for which it is
adapted.
