MIR. BRIGGS ON THE JOB

c. r. Briggs, thenew Farm Agent,
has arrived in Shoshone and is hard at
work on his job.
Mr.. Briggs is a married man with
one child in the family. He is %
years old and is practical farmer. At
the beginning of the world war he
volunteered and entered the service
at San Francisco. He served two and
a half years overseas and rose to First
Lieutenant in the service. He was
invalided home and on his discharge
from the hospital was sent to the Ore
gon Agricultural college by the U. S.
Vocational training board, where he
graduated this last spring. Before
entering the service he had taken three
years college training on top of a
high school education and during his
course at the Agricultural college ad-
ded two more years to his college
training.
Mr.. Briggs will be somewhat handi =
capped in his work this season by rea-
son of taking hold of it in the midst
of the growing season. His value to
Lincoln County will rest as much up
on the help he receives by means of
hearty cooperation on the part of the
farmers, as it will upon the work he
does and the help he gives to you. So,
get acquainted with him as soon as
possible and help your neighbors to
know him.

ing 1919, increased the levy only one
mill. This one mill increase in the
levy returned an income of $500. great
er than THAT Of the previous year,
while the year I919-1930 saw an in
crease of nearly 100 per cent in the
operating costs of the schools. T.
make the point clearer, the annual re-
port shows that the income for tho
year 191S-1920 was only $4,000 greater
than the year 191S-1919, while the
cost Of operation was increased by
$lO,12717. During the past three
years, the valuation of the property
in the district has decreased from
81. SOS, ,167.0O to S1,777, $1,000 During
the same time. without a bond issue,
the board has re-tinished the interior
of the two buildings at an approx
mate cost of S15O0.00; has built two
kindergarten buildings at a cost Of
$500; has renewed insurance at a cost
OF S1124 and has paid out nearly $500.
in attorneys fees, all of this was done
with money from the general fund Oh
the district. During the past three
years the Board has taken care of
$4,000 worth on maturing bonds and
interest.
At the meeting Of the Board 1920
the levy was increased three mills.
which ii was estimated should take
care of the running expenses Of the
district. This increase, together with
other incomes should have returned
a total income of $4,000. while the
actual income, not counting the $4,000
received from Minidoka District No
Il, was 24,107.07 leaving q shortage Of
sl0,89300. A part of this Indebtedness
viii be taken care of upon the receipt
of our July taxes. Another part will
be taken up with the $4,000 due July
first from the Minidoka District. This
will leave, upon the estimate about
eight thousand dollars overdrafr.
District No. u has never levied the
maximum allowed by law, as have
many of the districts, ard at the same
time they have provided the best ac-
comodations possible for the Kinder
garten for the younger children; they
have, upon a petition of the patrons
maintained, for one Of the three years
a rural school at a cost Of over $500
for the convenience of seven children
living in an isolated part of the dis
trct.

HERE'S HOPING HE SUCCEEDS
French Inventor Working on Scheme
Which Would Lower the Price
of Wearing Apparel.

A French inventor, who has spent
many years in Brazil and Nicaragua,
states that women will be able to pur-
chase blouses, jumpers, and even cos
tunes, made of leaves and Feelings.
Men may be offered suits and under
wear of the same materials.
This man has devised a machine
which can extract weaving threads
from bananas, pineapples, and other
fibrOus plants. For example, the leaf
Of the wild pineapple gives a thread
over two yards long.
He hopes later to be able to utilize
the skins of many other fruits. 1t is
to be hoped that he succeeds, for the
cost Of clothes will be considerably
less than those made of present-day
imitation silks and mercerized cot
tons.

GREEKS HELD BEAUTY SACRED
No Sculptor of Repute Would De-
scend to Grotesqueness in Depict
ing the Human Form.

Many persons wonder why among all
the hundreds Of statues of ancient
Greece there were no grOtesque, ugly
or cOmical bits. Very rare specimens
have been found, but nearly always
these have been miniatures and evil
IDENTIFY the work Of inferior artists.
The reason is that the Greeks wor-
SHIPPED beauty Of line and color so
thoroughly that the creation Of an
ugly representation Of huamn being
would have been looked upon as a
prOfane and wicked act
Among the few grotesque statues
known is c little marble made in
Athens over 1000 years ago Of
a dwarf doing a dance that seems
to resemble the movements of the
cake-walk, once popular in the United
States. The little woman wears a
hobble skirt and her head, look
ing back over her shoulder, is rather
attractive. 1t is thought to be a
statue of some well-known Roman
dwarf cabaret artist made by sculp-
tor at the solicitation Of a Roman friend,
or else a satire on larger and per-
haps very fine dancing bit done by a
rival and hated workman.
