THOSE GOOD OLD DAYS.

Backward, turn backward, oh time

Give us a maiden with skirts not 50
tight;
Give US a girl whose charms, many
or few,
Are not exposed by much peek-a-boo
Give us a maiden, no matter what
age,
Who won't use the street for q
vaudeville stage.
Give US girl nos so sharply in view,
Dress her in skirts that the sun
won't shine through.
Then give US the dances of days long
gone by,
With plenty Of clothes and steps not
SO high,
And turbcy-trot capers and butter
mill, ghdes,
And hurdy-gurdy twist and the wig
glc-tail slide.
Then let US feast our tired optics
once more
On a genuine woman as sweet as Of
yore.
Yes, time, please turn backward,
And grant our request,
For Gods richest blessing

l6.l while in Arkansas, the percentage
declined from l2.l in 1910 To "a in
1920.
Delaware, on the north Atlantic sea
board, showed 81 percent illiteracy in
1910 and 80 in 1920. Under the cen.
sus bureau methods of classification.
persons who are able to read, but not
write, are held to be illiterate. which
is hardly in accordance with the gen.
orally accepted meaning of the term.
1t is gratifying to note that the
percentage of illiteracy is on the de-
cline, but there yet remains great
field in America for education. and
money expended upon our public
school systems constitutes the most
profitable investment in the nation.

grave consequences as is the selling
of moonshine stuff.
This fact is clearly brought out in
action taken by Lewis Williams, U. S.
collector Of internal revenue, at Boise.
who has filed in the federal court liens
of attachment against several men in
idaho caught in possession Of moon
shine whiskey. The liens were filed
for the purpose of collecting from
these men government taxes On liquor.
Besides paying their fines and serv-
ing Jail sentences for possession of
liquor, in violation of the law, five
men in the state recently were made
defendants in actions brought by the
government to collect taxes which
had not been paid, as well as a penal
ty for failure to pay the taxes. AS
sessment is made against one man for
tax in the sum of S2375.3l, with adj
ditional penalty of $2O90.63, while
in another case the tax is Sl166.67 and
the penalty $129l67. Although big
profits are said to be made from illicit
traffic in liquor, it requires the profits
on many bottle to pay the penalty,
if the trangrcssor falls into the
clutches of federal agents.

1IIITERACY ON DECLINE

Census reports from three of the
fortv-eieht states show that illiteraey
is on the decline in the United States.
If the proportionate decline in the
percentage of the population unable to
write is maintained in reports from
the remaining forty-fve states, edu-
cation in the American nation has
taken rapid strides forward in the last
decade in spite of the heavy immi-
grafton during the l0-year period from
southern European countries.
1t is worth while to note, also, that
two of the states on which illiteracy
reports are now available for 1920 are
in the south, and possess large num-
bers of negroes, which race is not not
ed for its educational proclivities. In
Alabama, for instance, where the per
centage of illiteracy was 22.9 of the
total population more than 10 years of
age in 1910, the 1920 percentage was

CHECK ON CONTRACTION

Every precaution should be taken tC
prevent spread of contagious disease
The state department of public wei
fare, it is announced, plans to tax,
drastic steps to check contagion. Aid
ed by laws enacted by the recent leg
islature, persons who voluntarily
spread infection in Idaho will be pro-
secuted.
1t is indeed lamehtable that many
PERSONS themselves infected by a
contagion, voluntarily appear in pub
lie places, and cause to be exposed
to the disease persons who are in
health. Several such cases have been
brought to the attention of the public
health department, and arrests have
been made. Recently a person suffer
ing from whooping cough was arrested,
while travelling on a train in Idaho.
A grave injustice is done the public
by persons infected by contagion, who.
appear in public places, yet
it seems that drastic enforcement of
rigid quarantine laws constitutes the
,nly effectual method of checking such
for some have absolutely no
respect for the rights of their fellow
men.
