BUSINESS / LODGING up.

WlCnOuL the 6tluuluS OF general
business revival confidence has In
creased. and the future u more
favorably regarded. Sentiment is
susceptible OF quick huctuation in the
present readjustment period, being
responsive to day-to-day develop
ments, but the fundamental situation
has been strengthened by the price
yielding and the Improvement in
transportation. and some basis for
the better feeling exists. While COM
mercial reverses remain at the higher
level recently established. as the
August failures attest, there is an alb
sence Of the serious ,lnsettlement OF
which some people h,ld been appre-
hensive, ana the outlook seems more
reassuring as the weak spots are
steadily reduced.
Another months failure statement
reflects the economic changes Of the
period, but does not indicate any
wide spread or severe disturbance in
business. A higher commercial NOR
tality is not unnatural concomitant
OF the transition that 10 now in prog
ress, and the sharp increase over
last years figures appears less sig
nincant when II IL remembered that
the 1919 defaults were abnormally
moderate. while the s73 failures Of
last month involved some $8,400,o00
moro Of liabilities than those Of July,
this year. the number is slightly
smaller. and tho general showing
marks an Improvement over the June
exhibit. The difference in the In
debtedness as between July and
August is explained Ivy several de-
faults of unusual magnitude last
month, the thirty-eigllt defaults of
100000 or more In each instance
providing fully 10 per cent Of the ag-
gregate liabilities. Numerically, the
large failures run beyond those of
any August In quarter Of a century.
The yielding Of prices In primary
dry goods channels has already gone
further than some interests had
thought probable. and It is not clear
now that the end Of the REIMBURSEMENT
is at hand. Efforts are being made
by leading houses to steady the mar
kets, but offerings Of merchandise at
concessions have continued. and the
break In raw cotton has had q gem
orally unssttling infiuonce. With
further decline to 145s cents, print
cloths are more than 10 cents lower
than they were a few months ago.
end some other staples also show APP
probable reductions. While there is
q very fair retail trade outside the
large industrial centers, jobbers are
doing little In the way of new buying,
being chiefly occupied with tho dis
tyibution Of goods previously ordered.
and exporters are awaiting lower
prices. In the circumstances, IL Is
not strange that curtailment Of pro-
duction has been extended. and this
Is expected to stimulate q more active
spot demand before winter.

Topics Of the Times

One tenth of the people in the
United States now live in the three
large cities Of New York, Chicago
and Philadelphia. These three cities
have a combined population of TO-
1881. Our own state metropolis of
Des Moines with 126,46s people
stands sixty second from the top In
size among cities Of the United
States.
Financial writer's, Wall street In
vestors, bank observers and finan-
ciers generally now agree that the
crisis has passed in business and that
the abundant crops are going to
make business better for the future.
A Congregational preacher like
Kirbye Is not to be blamed for cam
paigning for a beloved trustee Of his
church but when he starts an at
tack upon a worthy opponent like
Kendall he should have seen to 1t
that the glass in his own record was
not exposed.
So far no evidence has been pro-
duced that republicans are collect
ing $40 apiece from stenographers for
politicalepurposes under threat of
losing their Jobs unless they come
thru. But Representative Johnson
has some very interesting evidence
in hand regarding the activities of
democrat bosses in South Dakota,
Wilson and the Wilson administra-
ton can't be covered up in this cam
paign. The league OF nations isn't
causing much concern one way or
another but the revelations OF In
competence and graft and unspeak-
able waste arc in tho minds Of every
middle west voter.
One evidence Of woman's fitness for
the vote and all that goes with 1t Is
plainly seen in the way few women
jumped at the opportunity for lead
ership. The politicians will be in
evidence before another presidential
campaign comes round: and II may
be that one OF them will be prorpi-
nent contender for presidential
honors.
Harding's attitude seems to please
the people generally. When he talks
on labor. or farming and government
generally he strikes strong. sensible
key that has the appeal OF common
sense. He would play fair and do
what can be done instead Of dema-
goging and promising impossibilitics.
There are things that can be done
now, things that may be done later
when we have become adapted to
the ideas they represent. Harding
strikes a course that must appeal to
thoughtful and sincere people.
The American Wooden Company
states that It paid s20.ooo.00o to the
government in excess profits and in
como taxes In one year which was 10
per cent OF It's gross sales. Never
fear but that the selling price IL high
enouSh to cover tho 10 per cent paid
out In taxes. and then some.

THE CENSOR.

THE CENSOR.
Old Mrs. Grundy, frigid prude,
Was walking once upon the high
way
And seeking out the DEVILS brood
In every nook and every byway.
No laughter glistened in her eye,
A bleary eye. all red and peering,
She moaned as she went sneaking by
And she was lame and hard of
hearing.
Young Beauty came from down the
road,
The sunshine playing in her tres
And thru her veins the moonbeams
flowed,
Her gances seemed like loves
careSseS.
But Mrs. Grundy cried: "For
shame!"
She tore away the dainty yelling,
She beat her in sweet virtues name
And left her by the roadside wall
ing.
The scowling bag went on her way
And soon she came on Joy, apranc-
ing,
Her laughter like brook at play,
Her toes and eyes and soul
a-dancing.
But Mrs. Grundy took her cane
And beat her first and stoned her
after,
And left her quivering with pain.
Thus sorrow took the place Of
laughter.
Then Vice came strolling down the
way,
Her eyes cast down in mock serv-
ility:
Her clothes were made Of somber
gray,
Her manner spoke her deep hu-
mility.
Then Mrs. Grundy shook with glee
At finding one so full of piety;
She cried: MY dearest, come with
met"
And introduced her to society.

cox IS GETTING PHEvIsH.
rDes MONIES Capital1

Governor Cox had occasion to pass
thru Chicago late Saturday. There
were no crowds to meet him because
1t was not known that he was to be
in the city. But the reporters met
him. They formed circle around
him. These reporters are usually out
spoken fellows having little regard
for the person to whom they put
their questions. They wanted the
Governor to give more facts about
the so-called republican slush
fund"
The governor evidently was an
noyed. He is getting tired Of his own
theme. He has not given out any
evidence. He knew that was what the
reporters had in mind He said to the
newspaper men. Now don't, please.
do not mean any insult or DIS
courtesy, but please do not ask me
questions"
This is a good sign 50 far as the
campaign is concerned. The governor
Is beginning to understand that the
country must have more evidence
than he has given If he gets any
where with his slush fund story.
In the meantime Senator Harding
is placid. and speaks well OF his
country and countrymen. These are
the two styles Of campaign and
Harding will win.
THE JOYS OF TEACHING SCHOOL
Newton News.1
Those who think the school teach
er has no griefs must never have
had any experience in teaching the
young idea how to shoot. True,
teachers are being paid more money
than they We're few years ago but
all of their troubles have not van
ished by any means. There are a
number of rural teachers in Jasper
county who find 1t absolutely impos-
sible to obtain a place to board In
their district. Some two or three of
them have thrown up their schools
because of the impossibility of get
ting place to board We do not
think they can be blamed or criti-
cised for their action. Certainly a
teacher is entitled to place to stay
and II the district can not provide
this place, then certainly 1t Is up to
the district to think awhile over just
what their duty is. One teacher was
told she could have board in one
family Notwithstanding she
helped with the work and paid So a
week. She thought So a week for
board in home which did not pro-
vide any Of the conveniences what
ever, and then having to help with
the hotsework before and after

A drive to induce Idaho children be-
tween Is and 90 years of age to go to
school has been launched by the State
Teachers association through a COM
mittee appointed at the associations
request by DIR. e. A. Bryan, state com
missioner of education. 1t is estimated
that from 80 to so per cent OF the
young people of this age are not In
school and are not engaged at any
trade or occupation which will increase
their practical knowledge.
Civic organizations will be asked to
cooperate n the wor by inaugurating
local drives and campaigns to bring
up the school enrolment.
The committee named by DIR. Bryan
consists of President c. r. Frazier OF

MRS. Y. STAPP HAS
GAINED 80 POUNDS
BY TAKING TANLAC
San Francisco Woman Hadn't
Seen a Well Day in Twenty
five Years.

Its the honest truth, 1 hadn't seen
a well day in 25 years until l started
taking Tan!ac but now all my troubles
are gone and / feel like young girl
again." said Mrs. Virginia Stapp, OF
1856 Valencia ST., San Francisco, Cal.
For the past rs years l have been
in such miserable health" continued
Mrs. Stapp, that I was beginning to
think / would have to be content and
bear my troubles as long as l lived.
/ had almost no appetite at all and
when I managed to eat few bites
couldn't digest it and it would make
me deathly sick, and as / could get no
strength or N~nurishment, / fell off 90
pounds in weight. l got so faint and
dizzy at times that l would have to
sit down and wait till the attacks
passed over. For the past 20 years l
hardly knew what 1T was to be with
out a headache and had terrible pains
across my kidneys. All my life l have
been constipated and every day for
years / have had to take laxative,
and my tongue was always coated and
/ had bad taste in my mouth all the
time. Night after night I have lain
in bed rolling and tossing for hours,
unable to get a wink of sleep and of
mornings l felt SO bad l could hardly
get up.
"The statements in the papers about
Tanlac seemed so sincere that made
up my mind to give it a trial, but as
everything else had taken for rs years
had failed to help me, had little faith
in Tanlac. But, sir, it began to help
me so quickly that it was no time be-
fore l had changed my mind about it
and now think it is the greatest med
icine l have ever heard of in my life.
] can hardly realize what a wonderful
change has come over me. Why, / am
able to eat just anything please, with
no bad effects in the least, and 1 have
actually gained 80 pounds in weight I
haven't had a headache or dizzy spell
in so long that l have almost forgot
ten about them and the pains in my
back have left me entirely. My con-
stipated condition has been relieved
and my tongue is never coated and
don't have that bad taste in my mouth
any more. I sleep nine to 10 hours
every night, can do my homework with
ease, and l just feel fine all the time
with this new life and energy about
me. l never lose single opportunity
to praise Tanlac, for it has certainly
been the greatest blessing of my life. i
Tanlac is sold in Boise by the low

WORKS ON SALMON

State Land Board Ratifies Ac.
ton of State Reclamation on
Twin Falls Tract-60,05O
Acres Included.

The state land board in a brief ses,
sion today formally ratified the action
and order of w. @. Swendsen, state
reclamation commissioner, accepting
the irrigation works of the Twin
Falls Salmon River Land & Water
company's project in south Twin Falls
county. The works are sufficient to
water 60,050.SO acres. the states en-
gineer found. according to the order.
Acceptance Of the works does not
involve the highly important question
Of the adjudication of water rights,
which has been in the courts for sew
eral years. The project was cut down
under former land boards order to a
size which was expected to be con-
sistent with the water supply avail
able, but the United Slater district
court held the order reducing the
project to be invalid, and restored all
the settlers to equal rights, leaving
thu matter to be settled by some other
method than reduction OF the acreage
and Embarrassment Of those settlers
excluded. : 3
