FORD OFFER IS
D N [ APPROVED
South Supports Scheme
to Develop Muscle
Shoals Plant.

Henry Ford's offer to lease, COM
plete and operate the Muscle Shoals
nitrate project on the Tennessee river
is the only offer made the United
States government for this gigantic
undertaking that has any standing in
the south, according to E. M. Hendon
who returned Monday morning after
an extended visit in the south and a
careful inspection of this partially
completed wartime project.
Not only in Sheffield and Florence,
the Twin Cities" adjacent the big
Wilson dam, but over the entire south,
people are marking time waiting and
hoping for congress to ratify Ford's
proposed contract. No other offer has
been given any consideration in the
south, according to Mr.. Hendon.
Ford has asserted that in SO hours
from the time the contract is approved
he will have 10000 men, fully equip
ped, on the job and ready to go ahead
with she work. In anticipation of the
beehive of activity that would result
real estate values are out of sight in
that district, according to Mr.. Hendon
The entire country is plotted and lots
are selling for high prices. In Shelf
field, on one business lot, vacant, Mr.
Hendon asserted to have a normal
value not to exceed $1,000. Yet the
owners had refused $4,000 for tn,
property.
Work is being done on the project

of the war, millions were spent there

PLAN
IS j NDE R WAY
Plan Sale of Securities
On Delinquent
Payments.

Plans which promise almost inn
mediate drainage for the Deer Flat
district on the Boise project and which
may lead to making funds available
for at least construction OF the Black
Canyon are under consideration by
the Payette-Boise Water Users asso-
citation and reclamation officials.
In brief, the idea, worked out by
Henry Griffiths, local attorney, en-
braces the disposition of warrants or
bonds to the amount of delinquent
drainage assessments for the Deer
Flat work and, if that prove success
full, the possible sale of similar secur-
tiles to the total amount of all de-
linquencies on the project. These
warrants or bonds, as will be deter
mined later, will be backed by the
United States government loan on
project lands and are, therefore, amp
ly secured for the most careful invest

optimistic that the securities can be
marketed. 1t is believed that the diff
ference in the rate of interest on de-
liquent payments-one per cent per
month-and the normal commercial
rate, will Offset the cost of marketing
the securities.
This plan provides an immediate
means for obtaining funds that under
ordinary means of collecting, might be
considerably delayed in becoming
available. Mr.. Griffiths believes thai

Whether this simple plan can b,

Fred Hatch saved the day for the
Payette baseball grandstand Sunday
when the entire structure threatened to
go up in smoke. A fire, probably the
result of discarded and lighted Gig

Mr.. Hatch crawled down from above
and extinguished the blaze by the lib

fore further assistance could be given.
The game was scarcely interrupted.

Heart Problems

Dear Mrs. Thompson: A year ago
my husband died ana left me with a
little girl to support. After the funeral
expenses were paid ! had only two
hundred dollars left which l resolved
not to use unless | absolutely had to.
My mother came to live with us to
take care of my little girl while
worked | have worked hard and have
managed TO get along so thatI do not
need to dip into my two hundred dol
lars saving.
My brother has written to me and
asked what | would ike for a Christ
mas present. | have never had any
help from him although he makes
quite a little money and could spare
a little. | have never asked for money
and | have been brought up to think
it is wrong to do such a thing. 1t
would mean so much more to me than
anything else; do you think it would
be all right to write to my brother
and tell him ! would rather have the
money he would put into the present
/ thought | could say that don't want
him to feel that he must send much,
but a little bit will mean more to me
than any present. ANXIOUS.
You might suggest the thing you
need most. but tell your brother that
if he is willing you would prefer the
money to the gift He viii not think
this strange, | am sure. because he
understands your position and must
admire you for getting along so well.

SCHOOL LIBRARIES

The greatest thing which the school
can do for the child is to impart to him
an open-mindedness and a thirst for
knowledge which will cause him to use
his opportunities to continue his educa-
ton throughout life. The school is
properly only the Introductory step in
education. The readiest means of con-
tinuing ones education after school is
by the reading OF good books and peri
odicals, which contain the accumulated
experience of the best thinkers and in
vestigators and which are available in
the public libraries and elsewhere. Our
democracy rests upon the basis of an
intelligent citizenship, which requires
a reading and thinking people who in
form themselves regarding civic prob
lens and decide their course after
careful consideration of the issues in
volved. This knowledge can best be
acquired by the thoughtful use of print
ed sources of information. The. school
should send the boy and girl forth
with the reading habit already formed
Value of Books.
The practice of reading useful books
will also help the pupil to succeed in
his life work, whether that be agricul.
ture or business or one of the profes
sions. 1t will also afford him inspira
ton and consolation, and help him to
meet the prblems of life with equanim
ity and courage.
1t is the duty of the school to teach

A recent Beauty Chat on soaps has
brought me half a dozen requests for
more information. Most women prefer
perfumed soaps and hate to give them
up even though plain soap is just as
cleansing and mucn cheaper. Person
ally, l should say that the most useless
place for perfume is in a soap, for
when the skin is rinsed, if the rinsing
is done properly, there will be no
scent left. II using perfumed soap is
pleasure, it is the most transient of
pleasures.
The test of good soap is the lather
it makes, but no soap can be- expected
to lather in hard water. Every bath
room should contain a bottle of am
monia, either the plain kitchen or the
perfumed toilet ammonia, so that few

the mechanics of reading. Beyond this
and yet more important, it should
teach its pupils to make actual use of
their ability to read. The school
should familiarize the children with
good literature. and should instil in
them a permanent habit and love of
reading. Then they will know how to
obtain information and inspiration
from books under all circumstances.
With this equipment their education
will continue throughout life after the
few brief years OF school are over.
The pupils should learn how to use
reference books, and to read as widely
as possible in connection with their
studies. They should also be taught
the use of the public library. Every
elementary and every high school
should have in its own building suit
able collections of books and peri
odicals directly accessible to the stu
dents. The elementary school library
will give the best service when placed
in charge of teacher acquainted with
library methods. Every high school
libary should be organized and admin
.istered by a trained librarian, ranking
as a teacher The school librarian
should instruct the students in the
use of books and libraries These prin-
ciples regarding school Libraries are
more and more being put into actual
practice by our most progressive states
and communities.

hand of Granny Hopes God.
"The Greatest Mother in the World"
whispered Pollyopa and then some
thing hard and hateful within her
broke, and the food-tides of love came
pouring in. AS when a dam bursts,
the pent-up waters sweep away all the
accumulated rubbish in the old, I'M

girls heart cleansed of every unlOvely
emotion. To her uplifted vision "The
Greatest Mother in the World" smiled
again in benediction and beyond her,
dim in the background, appeared a
wrinkled, toothless smile, and Polly
heard Granny Hopes withered lips
saying:
Loves the hull thing, brat. Just
love, an love, an keep on lovin'."
Full of the tenderest compassion,
Pollyop turned swiftly, and at the
sight of her flashing, radiant face,
Evelyn tainted, toppled forward and
rolled almost under the bed.
The squatter girl bounded to her
side, her frantic fingers tearing loose
the ropes that Larry and Lye Braeger
had made secure around Evelyn's body.
They fell away, leaving the girl but a
little heap on the floor.
Tears streamed over her dark lashes
as Pollyop gathered the limp head of
Evelyn Mackenzie into her arms. And
then she prayed as Granny Hope had
taught her to pray. Our Father
