The Right Way.

THE determination of the Canyon
county farm bureau to continue its
activities on self-supporting basis is
a commendable one. While the prac-
tice of appropri&ting tax monies for
agricultural educational work is al
most universal in the United States,
it is not an established fact that the
policy is always wise. Indeed, where
the farm bureau enters the marketing
field, it is questionable whether state
or county funds should be used at all.
Cooperative Farm marketing has
come to Idaho ito stay 1t is, per-
haps, one step in the direction of sim
plification of the modern over-extend-
ed distribution system. At least Cal
ifornia has found it SO. And the
increasing popularity of the idea that
farmers should organize to market
their produce to best advantage needs
no better evidence than the fact that
the Portland Chamber of Commerce
only few weeks appropriated con-
siderable sum of money and named a
special committee to foster co-opera-
tive farm marketing in Oregon.
Generally speaking, thing worth
having is worth paying for. If-farm-
ers of Canyon county really want a
farm bureau they will back it with
financial support. And the bureau will
be better for it.
One cannot fail td Jremark that
cooperative farm marketing is form
of competition for many long estab-
,ished business concerns. Those bust
ness concerns would not leave uncon-
tested the appropriation of a portion
of the taxes they pay to the support
of their own competition-oo-ope opera
tive marketing.
From every standpoint, the bureau
decision was wise.

Writer Regrets Attack
On Great Caldwell Man

Editor, The Tribune:
1t is with extreme regret and sor-
row that | observe the attacks being
made in your esteemed paper on one
of Caldwell's foremost nimrods. This
man has achieved greatness in the
big game field of central Idaho and
returned to his home town expecting,
and properly SO, the acclaim he de-
serves. Instead be became the object
OF a vicious and slanderous propa-
ganda inspired by broken down
bali player and other would-be sports
who have attempted achievements in
the field and have failed ing!oriously
Caldwell has too few great men.
The ones we have should be encour-,
aged rather than be made the, ,chjecI
of attack by bunch of little and,
no doubt, envious blackmalers.

Keep Caldwell Clean.

CALDWELL citizens have two dis
tinct responsibilities that they should
meet at every opportunity. The first
is to flatly deny financial aid to any
beggar or other parasite upon the
community. You, as busy citizen,
have no time to investigate the merit
of every request. You dislike to re-
fuse the needy an dyou give with the
certain knowledge that ninety per cent
of those who ask aims are grafters.
In this day of organized charity,
your duty is clear. Refer such per-
sons to the Red Cross. You support
the Red Cross by giving all that you
feel you can afford for home charity.
Make that gift self protective by re-
fusing individuals who ask your aid
Send them to the Red Cross. You
can do it with clear conscious and
the full knowledge that the needy
will be cared for, the grafters denied.
The second duty is not less import
ant, not less self protective In the
eyes of an element that sells stuff,
every town is populated with easy
marks" The city council of Cald-
we'll has tried to protect you An
ordinance compels agents and vendors
to buy license before they can sell
stuff in Caldwell. They pay no rent,
no taxes, they are noe even citizens
of this community. And they should
pay for the privilege of doing bust
ness here even when the goods they
offer are worthy the name.
In the opinion of the city attorney,
loci citizens who are supporting them
selves by house to house sales and
farmers who are offering their pro-
ducts to city residents are not requir-
ed to pay that license. 1t is your duty
as a citizen of Caldwell, not only to
refuse to buy from the "fly by night"
salesman but also to report such activ-

Proficiency" Now.

THE era of efficiency in industry
seems to have passed At least that
phase of it which included overhaul
ing plants, close studies of methods
and, with these, lot of new depart
ures that only increased overhead, is
apparently safely behind us
Efficiency, in the way we came to
see it sounded too much like nuts and
bolts and screws. The personal equa-
ton passed from sight. Service, the
foundational bulwark alone upor
labor and capital alike can hope to
exist disappeared from industrial con-
siderations
To-day the word is proficiency" l.
is more human and better calculated
to leave a lasting impression of good
upon industry and industrial relations

What You Buy.

ONE of the bills certain to be intro
duced in the coming session of the leg
islature will propose a state school
tax. Primarily the measure will be
designed to aid weaker school districts
at the expense of more populous and
wealthier districts.
Schools are claiming, year by year,
larger sums from the tax paying pub
lie. Theories and practices in the
educational world are indeed far cry
from those of a generation ago, the
era of the little red school house"
Despite this fact it is a sad common
tary upon this nation that American
illiteracy is far higher than in leading
European nation. 1t is also a striking
fact that the American public annually
spends far more for luxuries, candy,
gum and the like, every year than is
spent on education of American boys
and girls School demands are high
now. They probably will increase.
If wisely spent, no one begrudges
the money. Many a man and woman
regrets the failure to have taken ad-
vantage of opportunities to obtain an
education. No sane man or woman
ever felt that they were sufficiently
we'll educated. Only idlers believe
they spent too many years in school.
The American problem of her
schools is serious one. Yet not all
that comes from the school is serious
A youthful mind is a fantastic mind
Here are a few answers that American
boys and girls have given to school
room questions:
The equator is menagerie hon
running around between the
North and South poles.
A circle is a round straight line
with a hole in the middle
Demagogue, a vessel containing
beer and other liquids.
Aroma is what we smell in the
parlor when they are cooking
onions in the kitchen.

ROCK HILL COMMUNITY CLUB.

In company with Agricultural
Agent H. A. Powers, we had the
pleasure last Saturday night of again
attending a meeting of the Rock Hill
Community Club.
The attendance was very good and
the program arranged for the occa-
sion was excellent. Rock Springs
singing is always good.
Most of the program as published
last week was carried out.
After his attempted talk on the i'm
portance of elderly persons refraining
as far as possible from butchering
the English language in the presence
of children, the Progress man read
Kipling's "If" and by way of encour-
agement to members of the club left
with president G. w. McPeake the
handsome copy of Character Sketch
es" by the late DR.. George A. Loftin,
of Nashville, to be given to the win
ner in a contest of reading the Kip
ling poem at a future meeting of the
club.
The club or community that beats
Rock Hill in the matter of a communi-
ty exhibit at the fair next week, will
have to get up earlier, work later
and have better stuff than the men
and women of Rock Hill are prepar-
ing for the exhibit.
Our visits to Rock Hill are so enjoy
able that we hope to repeat them at
frequent intervals.

DOOR TO LONG LIVING.

The men of eighty-five and ninety
years of age are not the rotund, WELL
fed, but thin, spare men, who live on
slender diet. Be as careful as he
will, however, a man past middle age
will occasionally eat too much or of
some article of food not suited to his
constitution, causing Indigestion or
constipation and will need dose Of
Chamberlain's Tablets to move his
bowels and invigorate his stomach.

why the average man should not live
