Cattle Men Discuss Plans to Eradi-
cate the Menace

A number Of representative live
stock men Of the state met in Baton
Rouge a few days ago, to discuss
plans by which cattle tick eradica-
ton can be Systematically carried
out. John Cochran of Natchitoches
presided, and DR.. W. R. Dodson,
chairman of the Louisiana Tick Era
dication League, spoke Of the good
work that had been done by the
league in the way of educating the
people to the benefits to be derived
from tlck-free territory. James K.
Gardner Of Calcasieu. outlined the
difficulties that had been encounter
ed In dealing with the herds Of cat
Tie IN stormswept areas. 1t was the
concensus Iof opinion after hearing
the difficulties that had been en-
countered in cattle dipping discuss
ed, that the only feasible plan would
be plan by which the owner could
control his own herds and dip all cat
tie 1t was then decided that the
1--we stock men throughout the state
urge the legislature to enact no.
renee law, which would prevent the
free range of all live stock. This
oelng done, the state could be block
Cd Oft IN territories having natural
boundaries, and free all the area
within that particular territory, af-
Ter which it would be released from
quarantine, then take a similar
ploek of territory with natural
boundaries and so on until the en-
Iife state was tick free. Governor
fafker pledged his support to any
feasible plan the live stock men
might adopt.

Anti-Mail Order House Campaign

The government of Canada is
conducting an investigation Of mail
order houses in that country. There
is a movement on the part of retail
merchants all over the dominion
against these establishments, which
it is declared are destroying COM
munity life. Evidence presented in
regard to one such concern alleged
that they added profit of per cent
to the cost of clothing. And the
merchants are confident they can
show these houses do not sell to the.
consumer any cheaper than tht home
merchant can.
1t is very easy to take a second
grade artcl dnaeaenkna
grade article and make an attractive
photograph out of it. No half-tone
cut ever revealed defects.
Purchasers of these articles usu-
ally forget that they have to pay
good sized express or mail charge.
Then if the goods do not come out
as represented, it will cost more than
it is worth to get satisfaction.
The worst feature of the mail or
der business is as reported from
Canada, tendency to destroy COM
munity life. It a town is going to
grow and prosper, it must have good
stores. And it can not possibly
have good stores il the people send
"a large share of their money away
to mail order houses. It would be
worthwhile for people to pay lit
tie more to support the business of
their own ,tow1ls, rather than see it
slump. Fortunately. that is not nee.
essary. IF you want the grade of
article that sells SO cheap in the
mail order catalog, ask your home
merchant for it. He will get it
for you, while deploring your judy
ment. d .&*
1t is to be hoped that the Cana
dian people pushed this investigation
to the limit, and forced real show
down on it. 1t is the belief of
The Leader that it will show that
nothing is saved when the consum-
er sends away money by mail. 1t is
both poor policy to buy goods with
out seeing them, and to build up
some city and let your home town
drag,-Ruston Leader.

Little Interest
Shown by Solons
In Idaho Split

WASHINGTON of the
Idaho delegation in congress refused
to become interested in the proposal
advanced in the Idaho legislature to
form a new state of Lincoln out Of
the counties of north Idaho. AS a
matter of fact, the Idaho senators
and congressman are fully aware
that If north Idaho should secede it
would pass from statehood to the
status of territory, as north Idaho
has not sufficient population to just
ify its admission into the Union as
state. The question of whether or
not a new state shall be admitted
rests entirely with the federal con-
gress. AS long as the Idaho delega-
tion believes north Idaho cannot be-
come state, senators and members
from other part of the country are
manifesting no interest in the flareup.

DEMONSTRATION
OF SIMPLE HYGIENE
BY SCHOOL NURSE
Work Financed by Red
Cross Seal Sale Prov
ing Extremely
Helpful

Miss Countryman, the school nurse
has been making examinations and
teaching hygiene at the Central
school building the past week. She
is at the Irving school this week.
This work is financed by the sale of
the Red Cross seals last fall.
Miss Countryman gave a demon
stratiOn in assembly on Friday morn
ing with an address to the students
in which she explained some of the
work she was doing and some of the
simpler things in hygiene that not all
parents teach their children. Her
talk and the demonstration was to
the effect that cleanliness is neces-
sary and that hygiene depends on
cleanliness and certain conduct pre-
venting the spread of disease or any,
thing that might carry disease. She
explained that there were three pri-
mary uses for the handkerchief; to
be used in blowing the nose; in
catching the cough and catching the
sneeze, which interpreted means
catching the spray from the nose and
the sneeze. She explained that the
handkerchief should be placed over
both the mouth and the nose in
coughing and that in using the hand
kerchief the same side of the hand
kerchief should be against the hand
when in use, not using it indiscrim-
inately, first one side and then the
other She warned against using the
handkerchief for dust rag and vari-
GUS other things and then exposing
it to the nose, the lips and the eye
lids. She explained there is a right
way and wrong way to blow the
nose, the correct way being to close
one nostril by slight pressure of the
finger while blowing thru the other;
to blow thru one nostril at time,
blowing moderately hard and not
with violence that makes noise and
Injuries the nose. She explained that
some of the growths in the nose are
by violent blowing.
She explained and demonstrated
with a brush the proper way to brush
the teeth brushing them up and down
to brush the particles out that lodge
in the openings between the teeth
and to brush also with slight rotary
movement to clean next to the gums
without bruising or scratching the
gums. The brush should not be
dipped into the cup that is used, but
the water should be poured from the
cup onto the brush SO that the water

SENATOR THOMAS
URGES CHANGE
IN CONSTITUTION
Bingham County Sena-
tor Favors Holding
Election Every
Four Years

The senate Of the sixteenth state
legislature Thursday morning passed
the Thomas Joint resolution, which
provides for submitting the question
Of holding constitutional conven-
tion to the electors, by an over
whelming majority. Such a conven-
ton would be in session approxi-
mately twenty days and would cost
in the neighborhood of $4,000, it
was explained by Thomas of Bing-
ham county, author Of the measure.
The present constitution was
drawn in 1889 and is signed by forty
four men. The first amendment was
made in 1896 and since that time
there has not been a year when the
electors did not vote on an amend
ment, Senator Thomas said. Since
its enactment there have been seven
teen amendments made, costing ap-
proximately $1,000 each. When the
constitution was drawn there were
$4,000 persons in the state as against
more than four hundred thousand to-
day, the Bingham senator explained.
He also said that where there were
5000 farms then there are $4,000
now.
Thomas declared that he was in
favor Of holding an election only once
In four years. This would apply he
said to all officers of the state and
the legislature and would make for
the betterment Of the government, by
giving it experienced officers and law
makers.
Before the question can be put to
the election a resolution must be
passed by q two-thirds vote in both
houses of the legislature. It is then
voted on at the general election and
II 1t meets with the approval of a
majority of the electors the incoming
legislature must make provisions for
holding such convention.
Whitcomb also spoke for the reso-
luton and declared that the present
constitution needed many amend
ments. ut must be elastic and that
is Just what the present one is not"
he declared.-Idaho Statesman.

high school is affiliated with the
northwest association, which makes
it possible for graduates, completing
the prescribed high school course Of
the Blackfoot school to enter any col
lege or university as freshman thus
eliminating any of the entrance ex-
aminations and getting credit for the
concentrated work done in the high
school.
To those who do not anticipate
going any further with their educa-
tional work than the high school
when they graduate from this school
they are equipped to enter CONNER
cial life or any of the branches of
business that they may choose. For
instance the four year course in agri-
culture is taught by experienced in
structors and is taught for the
benefit of those who wish to engage
in this line of business. The COURSE
is almost as complete as that taught
in the agricultural colleges, but af-
fords the student the opportunity of
living at home while he is complet-
ing this work.

courses in typewriting, shorthand
and commercial bookkeeping is
taught. This course is much more
effective than the course taught in
the average commercial college and
the morale of the school maintains
much higher status. Ten Remington
and Underwood typewriters have
been provided in this department
with all the other equipment neces-
sary for the maintenance of the de-
partment. There are this year
seventy pupils enrolled which makes
an excellent class and much interest
is taken in the work. Some very
efficient stenographers and book
keepers have been graduated from
this department in the high school.
The manual training course is also
handled under the same efficient
system. This includes both shop
work and mechanical drawing. All
the necessary equipment has been
provided to enable the student to get

| Away Funds for
Building

BOISE, Idaho, Feb 18.-The bill
which would have done away with
the appropriation for the erection of
state sanitarium for the treatment
of tuberculosis patients in Idaho was
defeated in the house Friday by a
vote of 80 to 20. Two members were
absent.
Debate on the bill to repeal the
tuberculosis sanitarium appropria-
tion OF 1919 began in the morning
and continued most of the afternoon.
Representative Robert j. Goodwin
of Owyhee county opened the debate
with an attack on the state affairs
committee and the commissioner of
public welfare. who advocated the
repeal of the 1915 appropriation. In
formation gathered by them and laid
on the desks of members, Mr.. Good
win declared, was misleading and
prejudiced.
Two agricultural bills received ap-
proval of the house. One of them
authorizes county commissioners to
make appropriations for the eradi-
cation of cutworms and grasshoppers
and requires them to do so on petit
ton of certain number of farmers.
Another amends present restric-
tions on importation, inspection and
spraying of fruit trees, but a third
agricultural bill failed to pass. 1t was
department measure to modernize
the standard weights and measures
recognized in Idaho and improve the
present inspection of scales and
measuring devices.

passed senate bill No. 173, provid-
ing for the creation of the Fremont
game preserve" This proposed pre-
serve borders on Yellowstone park
and is reserve created for the
further protection of wild animal
life of the park and enters into the
plan for securing from the federal
government permission for the build
ing of a reservoir within the park.
Another important measure passed
by unanimous vote for house joint
memorial No. 4, which requests
congress to pass such legislation as
is required to permit again the opera
ton of the federal farm loan act,
from which Idaho derived great
benefit.
The osteopathic measure, Senate |
bill No. 129 by Haley and Reed, de-

Realizing the need of adequate
school facilities the citizens of Bing-
ham county and especially Blackfoot
have worked diligently for the main
tenance of system that would be
credit to the city and county and an
advantage to everyone living In this
section. There Is not a city in the
state that has a better equipped high
school than is maintained in Black
foot This building which Is modern
in every respect was completed in
1913 at q cost in excess CT $50, 200
and could not be constructed at this
time under a cost of $4,000. Six
teen class rooms are provided in the
building with an auditorium and as
sembly hall which are used for meet
ings of a general nature and for en-
tertainments. The designing of the
building was done by experts and
especial care was given as to the
lighting system, ventilation, arrange
ment of seats to give the students all
the comfort possible and from gen.
eral hygienic standpoint. Every pro-
vision has been made to make the
work of the student pleasant and his
success merely depends upon him
self, as the equipment has been pro-
vided.
A complete course of study, out
lined by the Blackfoot board of edu-
cation cooperating wit h the state
board of education is taught. This
course includes four year course of
vocational agriculture, a four year
course Of typewritirg, shorthand and
commercial bookkeeping. A four
year English course, a three year
manual training course including
shop work and mechanical drawing,
a complete course of domestic science
including sewing, cooking etc. Plans
are now on foot for the re-organiza-
tion of the entire course of study
which will make it more efficient
and when completed will be the pro-
duct Of the entire school system. It
will raise the standard efficiency Of
the city schools very materially from
the lowest grade to the highest. The
