Sleep and the Eye

An occulist, in giving his views
on sleep, makes some observations
that are entertaining, whether they
agree with accepted medical ideas or
not, In the opinion fthe special
list, sleep is directly connected with
the USE structure and habits of the
human eye. He explains the reason
for sleep as follows.
In examining the human eye, we
find that its usefulness as am organ
OF sight is confined in its natural
state almost wholly to the daytime.
In the dark it is practically useless,
and it is the only one of the organs
or senses that Is rendered useless by
darkness, or whose usefulness is even
diminished by darkness. When a
man is among enemies, his sense OF
sight is more important to him than
his other four put together. Blind,
he is defenseless and neasy prey
to marauders.
AT THE approach of darkness man
has for millions of years quietly
hid himself away, and his constant
endeavor to be absolutely quiet pro-
duced condition which I'VE call
sleep. 1t became race habit to
hide away quietly every time the
earth turned upon its axis. AL
though the necessity has largely
passed away, the habit is still with
us.
1t is only very recently, compare
lively speaking, that man has brok-
EN- into the might with artificial
light, yet gradually but surely he
is encroaching on sleep by keeping
his eyes useful during the night. 1t
Is no longer necessary as matter
Of self-preservation nor is it because
| his eye sare useless at night, but a
habit formed through countless ages
can mot be easily lifted from man g
shoulders.
Much speculation could be indulg-
ed in connection with the foregoing
theory. If sleep is really only a
habit resulting from mans prehis-
toric condition, will the huma nrace
as It grows older require less and
less sleep until the time arrives
when none at all will be necessary
to sustain life? II this Is what we
are headed for the world seems to
be destinedtO witness many changes
Perhaps million years from now
the argument will be over the 36 in
stead fthe eight-hour day, for, ID
nobody ever sleeps, what is to pre-
vent the period now called a day
from being changed. Instead of six
day bicycle races, the populace may
be attending six-month sprfnts. And
lust imagine what a fine time the
daylight savers will be having In
those good days to come.

BASEBALL GAME

Glenns Ferry won the first game
OF the Snake River Valley league
schedule from Mountain Home by a
score of 10 to 0, at Glenns Ferry
Sunday. The game for the two pre-
vious Sundays having been called off
on account of rain. The game was
featured by ragged playing and the
inability of the local players to hit
the offerings of the Glenns Ferry

OF JULY
BOOSTERS RAISING
CELEBRATION FUND

The committee soliciting funds for
a Fourth of July celebration is out
working today, and SO far have been
very successful. There seems to be
no doubt that Mountain Home will
be host at a celebration this year,
with all the old-time attractions, and
that some new ones never before
seen in this city will be put on.
Only little preliminary work has
been done, but it is expected that by
the end of the week the plans will
be fully matured and a list of com
mittees will be busily at work pre-
pairing their respective parts of the
program.

u. S. INCREASES
STATE FUNDS FOR
FIRE PROTECTION
Government Allows Idaho
Four Times Last Years
Budget for Forest Work;
State Money Inadequate

Idaho's allotment OF federal aid
funds under the Weeks law for for
est fire prevention during the fiscal
year beginning July wall be prac-
tically four times the amount set
aside by the government during the
previous year, 1t was announced at
the office of the state land depart
ment Monday. 'e
In telegram received Monday
from Fred Morrell, district forester
at Missoula, 1t was stated that the
secretary of agriculture had approx
ed the amount of $16,S00 for the
protection of northern Idaho timber
for the 1922 fiscal year. 1t has
also been announced from the Og
den office that the apportionment
for southern Idaho would be $3,150.
The total federal funds for the
whole state during the previous year
were 5000 disbursed, $4,000 to the
north and $500 to the south.
There has been persistent fight
by state officials for larger allot-
ment of the Weeks law fund and the
cooperation OF Idaho's delegation in
congress has also been asked In or
her to further protect the timber re-
sources of the state. At "a confer
ence recently held In Missoula be-
tween members of the United States
forest service and state officials, the
efforts OF Idaho was putting forth to
check the destructive wrought by
forest fires were laid before Col. w.
B. Greeley, United States forester,
who was agreeably surprised at the
amount that was spent annually by
the state and private owners in Ida
no for forest fire prevention.
The $16,S00 will be divided about
equally between the five timber pro-
tective associations in north Idaho.
Originally, there were but four assoc
Citations, but recently the Priest
Lake Timber Protective ass citation
was formed, am dthe state will insist
that II be included in the distrlbu-
tion of the funds.
In the past the state appropriation
has been inadequate to meet the
needs Of protective work, and during
the years of 1919 and 1872 the ex-
penditures were so heavy that the
states share exceeded the amount
appropriated by about $4,000,
which deficiency was made up by the
1921 legislature. The years OF 1919
and 1920, however, were the worst
I'm the history OF the state for forest
fires. and 1t Is anticipated that the
coming season will not require the
expenditure OF so much money. The
1921 legislature appropriated for for
est fire prevention work far the two
years 500, 900, or $4,000 per year.
which. when combined with the
amounts put mp by private owners,
state officials think, will be suffi-
cient to protect most of the timber
I'm the state.

De Valera's Plan of
External Arbitration
Finds Deaf Ears Here
BY international News Service.

canon de Valera's thinly yelled
suggestions that the points at issue
between England and Ireland be left
to external arbitration" -wh &c h
means the United States-have fallen
on deaf ears in Washington.
Neither in official circles nor in
Congressional quarters is there to be
found today the slightest inclination
to have the United States mix up in
the present negotiations in any way.
There would be great reluctance to
undertake mediation even should
both sides request 1t, according to the
views privately expressed by several
high officials. Such request is not
anticipated, however. as for Great
Britain to agree to such a proposition
would be recognition of Ireland's
sovereignty, recognition which
Lloyd George has never extended and
probably never will.
Also, officials said, in pointing out
the obstacles to American mediation,
Great Britain would have good cause
to doubt the neutrality" of Ameri.
can mediation in view of the sale of
Irish Republican bonds in this coun-
try and the innumerable resolutions
expressing sympathy for the Irish
Republic which have been introduced
in Congress.
The idea of American mediation, pro-
posed by de Valera with specific re-
gard to determining the Irish share
Of the British debt, did not even find
favor today with those who have been
most pronounced in their sympathies
for Ireland. 'r ...t

HELPING OUT SHORT
PASTURE IN SUMMER
Stock Raisers Face Inconveni-
ence and Stock Loss.
There Is Only One Remedy Where
Vast Herds Are Kept and That 10
to Practice System of Deferred
and Rotation Grazing.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
Stock raisers, especially in the
Southwest, often, at this season Of the
year, face much inconvenience and
probable loss of cattle through the
shortage Of pastures. In other sec
lions, where smaller herds and areas
re'involved, the summer pasture stu
alton can be met in various ways, say
specialists of the United States De-.
partment of Agriculture. Among the
ways are the sowing Of catch crops
for summer forage or temporary pas
lures. But, with ranges running into
thousands of acres, with vast herds
grazing, there is only one remedy and
that is to put into practice a system
Of deferred and rotation grazing.
Such system will necessitate the
division of the range into separate
pastures. keeping the cattle off Of one
pasture each year until the, seeds of
the native grasses are mature, at
which time cattle may be turned to
Craze. In this manner the growth of
grass is utilized and the grass seeds
are trampled into the soil, which is
necessary to termination. By sys-
tematic rotation each pasture may be
allowed to reseed once in each three
to five years, as desired.
Where ranges are heavily stocked
in the beginning of such system, it
may be necessary to transfer part
of the herd to other ranges, but the
ultimate result will be an increase in
the carrying capacity Of the range, as
has been shown in various experiences
in the Southwest. Overstocking should
be avoided in every instance.
