Senator Frank II. Gocd,nG on receipt
of word from southeastern Idaho that
farmers of that section whose crops
last year were destroyed by drouth
were unsuccessful In their efforts to Sc
cure assistance from the appropriation
of $1.500.00o, recently made for the
relief of such farmers, entered pro-
test with the secretary OF agriculture.
He stressed the fact that congress, in
making that appropriation, he'd not
confined Its benefits to North Dakota
and Montana. but had so framed the
bill as to apply to all drouth-stricken
farmers, and he insisted that farmers
of that class In Idaho be given a fair
share Of benefits. The department.

SIMPLIFIED PRACTICE

Some three years ago the American engineering
societies with Herbert Hoover president undertook
survey determine the degree of preventable waste
in the methods of the leading industries of this
try They found in the six major industries average
of 40 per cent waste. The department of commerce
has been engaged in the study of methods to prevent
this loss.
The department has suggestions running from
great reclamation projects to counting pins In the
realm of manufactures and their sale the hints are
concerned mostly with Standardization, simplifed
methods of production and distribution quantity pro-
duction and quick turnover "Simplifed practice Mr.
Hoover calls it.
Business men the country over are much interested
in these suggestions and in adapting them to their in
dustres. The purchasing public should have an equal
interest for waste boosts prices While big business is
being put a basis which eliminates waste, why not
apply the same philosophy to personal and domestic
affairs?
If this is done widely, we shall emerge after
time nation which is longer byword among other
nations for its unthrft.

TURNING OFF NIAGARA

magazine writer wants to turn off Niagara
Falls in order them again That u.s. ne wants
to utilize for industrial purposes the vast power now
going to waste there and thinks that far from losing
effectiveness the falls would gain in spectacular Ell
feet if they not functoning all the time but were
only turned on in full volume on holidays and other
special occasions
''If fireworks were shot off at o'clock every
night" he SAYS I'VE would not care to look at them
Very likely Yet people can stand good deal
more repetition from nature than they can from art
Sunrise and sunset and rain and snow and rushing
water have good deal of repetition and continuity,
but most of US don't get bored to death with = n at
all.
Isn't ii the very everlastingness of that tremen-
dous downpour at Niagara that gives the falls their
overpowerng effect on the minds of imaginative on
lockers? AS Lord Byron wrote of much less magnlt-
cent waterfall 10, where it like an eternity
When human being can see, hear and feel eternity all
at once, that is something!
The intermittent policy may be carried out soon
err or later Just the With the crying demand for
mechanical power and the gradual exhaustion of fuel
resources Americans and Canadians will hardly pre-
serve that great reservoir of forever merely to
look at.
The only thing that can be egitimately insisted on,
perhaps is that when all that beauty is turned into
ueful energy it shall not go to enrich few capital
sts Niagara harness should work for the multitude
of citizens in both countries, Niagara free now
shines and roars for them

THE DAILY HOBBY HOUR

According to a brief item from that city, the
University of Cincinnati has arranged class schedules,
so that every student has day to devote to
some hobby preferably not in the SAME line of work
followed in the regular classes and exercises.
This is rather surprising arrangement The
true hobby is thought of usually the one activity
to which no needs to be driven The wise and happy
individuals who have wholesome hobbies ordinarily
find time enough to pursue them in spite of pressing
duties
Perhaps the university authorities believe that by
setting aside class period day for hobbies they
may lead the students indirectly to give attention
to their formal studies Or perhaps it is of the
many schemes being proposed and established, in
various modern institutions, for developing latent
genius 1t has often been said that amounts to
anything who does not have real hobby. Perhaps the
young people Of the day have lost the hobby habit be-
tiles.
Further statistics on the progress of student hob
bies at the school in question will be awaited with in
terest.
