Small Farms in Demand

Small irrigated farms are
growing in demand more and

For The Future.

THE incalcuable good which must
result to the cause of education
through the holding of Education
Week, December to 9, inclusive, can
not be summed up in page, let alone
a paragraph. But if it accomphshes
nothing more than the focusing of
public attention upon the inadequate
teaching stats of our public schools, it
will have more than served its pur-
pose.
The staffs are inadequate for one,
and only one reason; the inability Of
those in authority to see with sufficient
breadth of vision that teaching is high
ly skilled, specialized work, requiring
the highest TYPE lof manhood land
womanhood, and deserving an ade-
quate wage. Because teachers salaries
are universally so low, those who
stick to that noble profession do so
from love of it, from love of its
ideals, from sence Of duty, and the
religion of service Because teachers
salaries are universally SO low, the
youth of our land is not attracted to
the normal school and the teacher S
college; young men desire to enter oc-
equations which assure them of COM
fort, and a reasonable luxury; young
women, more and more taking their
places in the economic structure of our
country, are preparing themselves for
other vocations were the rewards are
commensurate with the preparation
the effort, the education, and the
ability required
The state depends now upon is
citizens of legal age and over. In ter
years it will be depending upon thu
children of to-day If these children
are not we'll taught, properly taught

America will be ignorant, unable tt
think, to carry on this, our Nation, IL
it's forward course. If the child o
to-day is the voter, and perhaps tn
legislator and the president OF to
morrow, then the teacher OF to-da,
is the maker Of the nation OF to-tnor
row. The best of teachers, paid wei
enough to enable them to give thei
best to our children, should be non
too good for America; If education

Drainage Is Still
Serious Problem.
Lowell Holds Formation
Of Relief Measure
Is Vital.

Editor, The Tribune:
Referring to your editorial in the
last number of The Tribune in regard
to the report to the Kiwanis club
made by the committee on drainage
and irrigation recommending the for
nation of an irrigation district, you
are right in your statement that this
report was not approved or acted up
on by the club.
AS chairman of the committee on
drainage and irrigation, l take full re-
in this report. believed then, and
believe now, that the formation OF
an irrigation district would have en-
abled the government to commence
the work of drainage promptly and
carry it to completion, the cost to be
repaid by the settlers on the 2O-year
installment plan without interest; ant
| am certain that no rights of the
settlers or opportunities for relic
would have been lost by the forma.
ton of district
The problem of drainage is still, II
my opinion, the most serious question
confronting the project, and it woulc
seem to me that it is now of little con
sequence who approved and who die
not approve the formation of dis
trict but that it is of the greatest i'm
portance that some constructive pat
be formulated which will give tx
| needed relief.
Very truly,

THE isolation of Russia and in fact
the outlawing of that wonderful coun-
try by the United States is crime
greater than that committed by the
kaiser-Senator Borah in His Boston

This is a government by the peo-

recognized Russia, the citizens of this
country are responsible.
The kaiser is the worlds greatest

was stopped two yards from the final
white line. He actually continued his
way over the goal line. And Hinder
man, bringing the ball back, placed it
only one foot inside the playing field
rather than the full two yards that
sideline observers are confident that it
deserved. On the next and fourth
down, Whitman pushed the bail over
the line, again by inches.
This is not intended as a reflection

After the smoke from the College

found that for the first time in recent
athletic history, the College of Idaho
athletic department had concluded a
football season with black ink figures,

Not only from a financial stand
point, but also from the standpoint of
the seasons record did Coach Anse
Cornelrs team have great season,
Six games were played, three were
won, one was tied and two were lost,
The aggregate score Of the two games
lost by the College of Idaho shows
that by the narrow margin of five
points did college adversaries win
those games. AS usual, Cornell's team
was wonder on offense. F. A. Hind
erman, who referred the game here
with Whitman, paid the college eleven
a tribute when he said that not else
where in the coast was there team
that got its plays off as smoothly and
quickly as did Cornell's eleven,
The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1922-12-05

Looking backwards, 1t is easy to see
by what a narrow margin Whitman
scored every one of its touchdowns.
Each one was pushed over on the
fourth down and not one was more
than foot over the line. The first
found the ball at the bottom of
pile of struggling athletes Referee
Hinderman seized the pigskin and
held it above the mass of players un.
Ill tangled legs were straightened out.
The ball was directly above the final
chalk line. Four inches less and it
would have been no score.
Fans who saw the play beReve that
there is a question of the legality of
lWhitman's second score. 1t seems that
the back carrying the ball advanced
the pigskin over the line of serimmage
after he was downed Perhaps he did
But Hinderman thought differently
and the score was awarded. 1t is GER
tain, however. that the ball once more
was over the line by inches.
The question involving the third
touchdown came from the same ten
dency of Whitman men to work and
crawl and wiggle their way forward
even after being downcd and the some
what less commendable inclination o
the officials to call plays too slowly
On the third down, Whitman bacl
