Though leaders in business and
finance issue frequent statements to
the effect that business stagnation in
America has about reached the low
point and that the future really looks
rosy to them, the mass of the people
are far from being optimistic, and it
must be admitted that conditions seem
to Justify their view Demand has
fallen to a minimum, and OF course
production has decreased In proper
tion. Prices have declined, but while
this is a source of satisfaction to the
consumer. it is painful to the producer,
and the pr Queer who is especially
mournful is the farmer, What con
gress is planning to do for him in the
way of an emergency tariff may help,
but most economists doubt it.

They Need Laws Too.

Out of the mouth Of pickpockets,
the sterling precept: Honesty is the
best policy.
Over in Genoa the gentle pinchers
Of purses have complained, an
onymousjy of course to the police
They say that persons with whom
they do business have the dishonest
habit of publishing the loss of much
larger sums than their stingy poe
textbooks contained. The thief, 1t
seems, gets a few hundred dollars
and the newspapers say that several
thousand were stolen.
According to the pickpockets,
this may be all very we'll for the
person who was robbed but it is
very disconcerting to an honest
thief who has "divvied' with his
pals on one basis to have those pals
read in the papers that a much
larger sum was stolen This leads
to strained relations in the frater-
nifty of thieves.

Rebekah Lodge Entertains.

Saturday evening the Rebekah's g
gave an entertainment to their
friends in their hall. The evening
was spent in playing 500 at nine
tables, the first prices were awarded
to Mrs. John Gaines, a flower basket
and DR.. Scharman silver pencil,
prizes for the losers were awarded
to Mrs. Bertha Hays, a black cat,
and to Roy White, a box of shoe
polish. During the lunch a program
of music was enjoyed. The first
number was song by Mrs. S. Il
Reed and Harry Watkins, piano solo
by Mrs. Cooper, song by Mrs. Ellen
Jones, and Mrs. Neff, and an address
by Harry Watkins and General Ut
ter.
During the evening two young
ladies sold candy and pies in an at
tractively decorated booth, the funds
to go toward the Odd Fellows home
at Nampa. The candy was all sold
out early.

INTENSE INTEREST
IN BOXING MATCH
COMING NEXT WEEK

Interest is increasing in the box
ing match between Oscar Hitler and
Curly kelso, the date for which has
been fixed for next Wednesday, May
I8. Partisans of the two fighters
are sure that their man will win,
and it is said that considerable
money is being bet on the result.
Training is going on with increased
Vigor and both men are apparently
in the best condition of their lives.
In addition to the main fight there
viii be two preliminaries, the first
between Battling White, a willing
local lightweight and Young Ryan,
promising Boise fighter. The Sc
eond is between Red Van Slyke,
kelso's sparring partnes, and who
has had considerable lighting ex-
perience in Boise and Pocatello and
Happy Lambert, a Glenns Ferry boy.
They will fight at 14S pounds. Both
preliminaries are billed to go six
rounds, while the main event will
be 10 rounds.

The members of the city council
have started a movement to clean up
the Mountain Home cemetery by vol
unteer labor. The cemetery fund
has not enough money in it to do
the job, and under the statute the
levy that can be made for cemetery
purposes is SO small that it will only
pya for the small amount Of work
that must absolutely be done. So
they have fixed May 23 as the date
for the cleanup and ask every per-
Son who can turn out to help to be on
hand that day, and If possible to
notify Clerk f. G. Ticknor in ad-
vance so that he may know how
anyway, armed with a rake or a
Shovel or hoe,
The cemetery is getting to look
awful tacky. and there is no other
way to get the necessary cleaning
done. Practically all the lots hav
ben sold and the money used In
beautifying and keeping up the
grounds. .........-..

Women, Since the War.

To speak plainly, since the armis-
tice there have been many women
who both from the moral and physi-
cal point of view rushed about as II
distracted. Beneath the colored
lights and the luxurious, functional
decorations Of dance halls, a few
hundred women, always the same
ones, dance the tango and the fox
trot in Paris, as in London or New
York, or Berlin. They dance in the
cafes of the suburbs; they dance
and ! haye heard the echo-at wine
shops which formerly offered their
country clients who wished to dance
bourree, an accordion for orches-
ira. From one end of the social lad
der to the other, women who aspire
to mount its symbolic rounds lift
their feet, ugly or pretty, in their
slippers of silk or the softest kid.
They have never worn so much
jewelry as they have since gold dis
appeared; they have never carried
so many furs as they have since the
extinction of the otter, the fox, and
the sable. Never have there been
so many men making gowns, shoes
perfumes for them, or dressing their
hair, or simply amusing them. Do
not think that the women of fashion
or the demi-mondaines, the idle, the
rich, the profiteers, the only ones to
lead this parasitical existence. The
women of the lower classes, as they
have the means and the opportunity,
aspire to this life which seems to
them, if not happiness, to be at
least revenge on society. We
have never before seen so many be-
feathered cooks, so many shopgirls
rouged and waved; so many work
ing women hurrying from the fac
tory to the hairdressers' and the
pastry shop.-Yale Review.

As to Politeness ct Cetera.

Politeness Is largely a matter OF
geography. In Paris they've just
passed an ordinance which requires
man IN street car to get up and
i've his seat to woman. And II
I'll the French women look like the
pictures in the Sunday supplements,
It won't be a difficult law to enforce.
In this country, on the other hand.
polteness requires man to cover his
eyes with a newspaper, as soon as
all the seats in the car are filled.
The only way woman can secure
French treatment In an American
car is by stepping on the mans feet.
Politeness in this country is
chiefly practiced on unmarried wo-
men. A man will take off his hat
when riding an elevator with HIS
stenographer, but not when riding
with his lawful welded wife. He
probably figures that she has seen
him with Lis hat Off so often that 1t
would mean nothing to her
AL dinner parties, politeness con-
sists in talking first to the woman on
your right and then to the woman
on your left. It consists in saying
all the snappy things to a pretty one,
and all the conventional things 10
homely one. II both women are
homely, 1t is just as well to say moth
ing. And II both women are pretty.
you won't have much Of a chance to
talk anyhow.
In some parts Of the world, 1t is
proper to rub noses. That sort OF
thing is never likely to be taken up
here, however, owing to the damage
to make-ups. Two women could de-
vote an hour to removing the shine
on their noses and putting the bloom
on their cheeks, and then have all
their work ruined by one polite
little rub. Kissing is different. Its
form of politeness which two wo-
men can accomplish without dis
turbing their wells, and without in
terfering with their make-ups, and
without meaning 1t.

Unending School Days.

When are school days over? They
were once considered ended when a
person took up the business Of earn
ing a living but now, with special
vacation courses at colleges, night
schools, and correspondence schools
all that is a thing of the past
Consider the case Of Mrs. Amy
Winship of Racine, Wis, who, at the
age of 80, is entering her fifth un-
iversity, the University of Wiscon-
sin, to study psychology and soci-
ology. All her university work has
been taken since her husband died
II years ago.
Is there any good reason why
schooling should ever end, except
with life? Are there still people
who suppose that education is mere
ly a preparation for business, and
that, having launched forth in the
pursuit of dollars and been some
what successful, one may close his
mind to systematic study? Do some
people still think that getting know
ledge is only a means to an end,
not an end in itself?
If there are such people, theirs
does not seem to be the position Mrs.
Winship takes. If we catch her
vision correctly she looks upon edu-
cation as worthwhile end. She
hungers to know things about the
world she never had time to find
out in the years of her prime She
wants to drink her fill of the wond-
ers of this life before she leaves it.
Is there anything wrong with such
a philosophy? Probably not in her
case. Probably not in several mil
lion other cases. 1t might be wrong
if man or woman were to put the
pleasure of learning ahead of the
business of caring for a family, max
ing botch of both. But, if one
puts first things first and apportions
his or her time carefully to work
and study and sleep and play,
then why should school days ever
end?

Two More Bridges to Span Snake
River.

Within the next two months six
modern steel structures will span
the Snake river between Twin Falls
and Homedale according to an an
nouncement made Monday at the Of
fee of the bureau of highways.
The remaining two of these six
bridges will be completed within
the next two months. All the
others are finished and now in use.
1t is planned to lay the cantilever
span of the Owsley bridge Thursday
and the final work on this project
will be completed and the structure
thrown open to traffic within the
next six weeks. The other bridge
which is in the course of construc-
ton is at Walters Ferry and will
be completed about July is, it is
expected by the department.
Other bridges making up the six
are The Twin Falls, the Grand
view, the Pickle Butte and the
Homedale.
