Boise, Idaho. The state board
Of education will defer for two
years consideration of the adoption
of new arithmetics and spoilers for
use in public schools, it was
announced by Miss Ethel E.
Redheld, state superintendent OF
public instruction. Letters in
forming publishing house repre-
sentatives of this action have been
mailed.
DR.. E. A. Bryan, state commits
sioner of education, and Miss
Redheld have constituted COM
mittee representing the state board.
New contracts will be made with
the companies furnishing the
present arithmetics and spoilers
for period of two years. The
present contract expires in June OF
this year.
According to the statement made
by Miss Redfield the action of the
committee is taken only after a
careful consideration of the situa-
ton and extensive correspondence
with county and city superintend-
ents throughout the state. The
present financial situation has in
fluenced the committee, Miss
Redheld states.
1t will be impossible, she says,
to contract these books for two
more years at the price being paid
at present. "Publishers have been
losing money in furnishing these
books to Idaho schools and we will
have to pay little more for
them, miss Red6eld said Tuesday.
1.-The committee has taken into
consideration the fact that many
children in the, state are now
supplied with these books and it
will be cheaper in the end to buy
more of the same books than to
adopt an entirely new text and go
to the expense of installing all new
books"

Lincoln, the Man.

A representative gathering of
citizens, including many of the
young people, came out to the
Methodist services last Sunday
morning, despite the weather con-
dltlons, to hear the sermon,
"Lincoln, the Man, ,"by Rev. /. C.
Harvey. The pastor sketched
briefly the career of the great man
from humble beginning to the
highest position in the republic
and a permanent place in the
memory of men through all future
time.
He directed attention to the
hardships and stern environment
of Lincoln's childhood and youth
as probably having as much to do
in fitting him for his life work as
did his industry and natural ability.
In simple language, Rev. Harvey
told how Lincoln's moral force, his
rules of temperance and clean
living, no less than his physical
attainments and genius for hard,
continuous study and work,
coupled with his faith in God and
right and his deep love for human
ity, contributed to his rise to fame.
Young men, he said, cannot fail to
profit by careful study of the
early life of Abraham Lincoln.
The junior choir led in the song
service.
In the evening, the pastor spoke

Locomotives and Fuel.

An ordinary passenger locomotive
consumes a pound of fuel for every
So feet it travels. Each unnecessary
stop, made with a heavy freight or
passenger train, represents fuel loss
of from 500 to 75O pounds of coal, de-
pending on the weight of the train,
the length of the stop, and the grade
conditions. A brake-line air leak on
a train of so freight cars has been
known to cause loss of as much as
. $40 pounds Of coal In a ten-honr
neriod. The loss of coal each time a
modern locomotive pops off for five
minutes is about rs pounds. If loco
motive firemen we're to save little
more than one shovelful Of coal out
of each ton used, the total saving
would be equal to nearly ! per cent
Of all the coal handled.-World's

Banks and the Producer.

j. X Mccormack, president, Union
Securities Co., Spokane, Wash, in an
address before the recent Grain Grow
ers, Millers and Shippers association
in Spokane, said that the farmers do
not need more money from the banks
to 90 deeper into debt but better
prices for many of the things they
have to sell and lower prices for
many of the things they must buy.
Mr.. Mccormack, whose company
operates "a banks in Inland Empire
communities and who has been in
close touch with country banks and
wheat growing for 35 years, said: "a
we'll run, safe and conservative bank
is blessing to any community and
everyone in it. while a poorly run,
inefficient, selfish. overexpanded bank
which encourages speculation and
overexpansion 10 its community is
menace and injury to everyone"
Showing the part that banks are
taking in community development
and the load which they are carrying
for farmers and producers generally,
Mr.. Mccormack pointed out that the
country banks With which he is
connected have about $4,000, 900 out
in loans Of which 80 per cent. is due
to the banks from producers while
the bulk of the remaining 20 per cent
is due from country merchants who
are carrying producers to the limlt.
This ratio, be believes, will hold good
with other country banks.

Morals in Government.

NV own deliberate opinion is, that
the more of pure moral principle is
carried into the policy and conduct
of a government, the wiser and more
profound will that policy be. If it Is
not the uniform course of human
events that virtue should be crowned
with success. it is at least the uniform
will of Heaven that virtue should be
the duty of man. The path of virtue
is indeed. not always clear, and In
tbe complication of human affairs arti-
flee and stimulation itself must occa-
sionally be practiced. But it may
believe. be laid down as a universal
maxim that fraud is never justihable
TO effect the same object. Fraud Is

longing to the relations of val

ORDER LARGE MAINS
Village Trustees Think Emer
gency Exists.

Plans for installing 1900 feet OF
four-inch water main 10 take the
place of smaller pipe in the east
part OF town, were decided upon
bv the village trustees at their
meeting Tuesday evening. 1t is
estimated that the improvement
will cost about $1,000. No appro-
priation has been made, and there
is now deficit of about $3.50 in
tie public impro yements fund for
the current fiscal year, but members
of the board are of the opinion
that, as the present mains in that
part of town are too small to
attach fire hydrants to and some Of
the homes are therefore without
adequate fire protection, an
emergency exists under which it is
permissible to issue warrants to be
cared for i'll subsequent budgets
and tax levies.
Members declared their inten-
ton to cut down on future street
work and park expenditures III
order that more funds may be
available for the water system,
which they deem to be most i'm
portant.
The chairman was authorized to
buy the pipe and the clerk was in
structed to call for bids to dig and
fill the trench.
Matters discussed by the board
included the advisability of raising
the dog license to So or more, to
comply with the state law.
Bills in the total sum of SIII.85
