GRADE NOTES

Mary and Richard Clayyille Of the
sixth grade have gone to Boise to
enter school.
Gwinn Rogers has been promoted
from the sixth grade to the seventh.
The boys in the grades started
their basketball practice this week.
They expect to play some real games
this winter.
A new system of art work has been
adopted recently for the public
schools of the state, and we are in
PRODUCING this system into the
grades. We desire the children to
purchase their books as soon as pos
sible. There will be a different book
for each grade and the price of each
for child is 80 cents, the exact cost.
When families move to another
town, the children find their work in
art to be the same.
Last year .our, art teacher was
called from her work many times to
substitute for teachers who were i'll
and her work was necessarily dropped
during that period. BY using the
new books the grade teacher can
carry on the work at such times so
that the pupil will not lose.
AS all other art supplies are fur
nished by the school board, we feel
that the parents will not object to
purchase drawing book for each
child. The drawing books of all pu-
pills will be on display at our annual
exhibit and at the close of school each
child will have a complete years
work in art to show for his efforts
in this line.

THE JUNIOR CLASS

The Juniors are the smartest class
That ever went to school,
They always have their lessons,
And never break rule.
They know about their history
From chapter one to nine,
And when in Spanish they translate,
They do it, OH so fine
In English class they're always good
And always say, I'VE can"
They look the teachers in the face,
For they funk not one exam.

The Seniors are the flowers of the
high school. Why?
Because they are the blooming
idiots.

TROUBLE

TROUBLE
When in the morning you awake,
If You are sane and wise,
Another nap you will not take,
When 1t Is time to rise.
You get up and start to worry,
And you're feeling pretty cool,
And mother says you'd better hurry,
For it's nearly time for school.
Your joy is turned to sorrow,
And you crawl into your clothes,
Then you think about tomorrow,
And the day when school will close.
Your eyes will hardly open,
And you sit there half asleep,
And your mother keeps a-scolding
Until you're bout to weep.
She says there's one thing she can't
solve.
Why you weren't up before.
Right then is when you sure resolve
1t won't happen any more.
Next morning you forget your vow,
And go to sleep once more.
You're hardly back to sleep, and now
There's mother at the door,
Old folks talk of trouble,
And complain about taxation;
But it's us who ought to grumble
About our short vacation.

Astronomical Facts.

Mars, in 1924, is to be 100000
miles from the earth. This distance,
occurring every fifteen years, is but
a stones throw in celestial spaces.
The other extreme in the orbit of
Mars is 284,OOO,OOO miles. Naturally
astronomers are all agog to make the
most Of the opportunity of the neigh
borly proximity about to be attained.
The sight Of the telescope is far keener
than at the last Marian approximation
in 1909. Wireless instruments Of as
tonishing experimental possibilities
have been developed in the intervening
period. All present evidences of the
habitation of Mars are easily subject
to disbelief. Elaborate speculations
are built out of the deduction that
Mars is a much older planet than the
earth. The hypothetical Marian, it
is conjectured, may have lived long
enough to be as far advanced as man
would be at about 100000. A. D.
On the other hand, astronomers con-
slider that the Marian atmosphere
is too thin to support life.-St. Louis
Post Dispatch.

Today in Ioydom.

Every season sees some very simple
toy spring into widespread fad,
writes correspondent from London.
Those of us not quite so young as we
were can recall the rage for a marble
game called "Pigs in Clover" Then
there was the "Ping-Pong" affair. Less
distant was the immense vogue of the
Teddy bear, which, by the way, has
far from passed from the toyland
scene; numerous factories manufac-
ture nothing else. The "Billiken," the
first Of the indestructible composition
dolls, had its hour. Today all the
world is up and doing in athletic ex-
ercise, and at the moment the toy
which is being featured as news in the
principal newspapers of several coun-
tries is a jumping stick. Pogo" is a
riot in Paris and London. Have you
tried it yet? It's a trick stick with
a coil spring in it. made in various
lengths to suit different heights and
with different strength springs to best
serve persons Of various weights. You
mount" the Pogo" by hopping upon
the foot rests and get very busy hop
ping up and down like kangaroo-if
you don't, off you 60. Accomplished
Pogoers can go up six-stair steps at a
clip. AS reducer of weight the sport
is declared to have horseback riding
backed off the boards.

Busiest Station in the World.

Twenty years ago Londoners, proud
of the size of the city and the dimen-
sions of it's traffic, used to point to the
fact that Chaplain Junction was the
busiest railway station in the world
on an average train minute passed
through it. Now that record is doubled
at the Underground station at Earl's
court, where 120 trains an hour pass
through during the rush hours, and at
Charing- Cross, with it's three under
ground stations in one, there are often
four and on an average three trains
4 minute. Twenty years ago, again,
there were no motor omnibuses, and
the horse omnibuses were but a frac-
ton of their number. During the
busiest hours today $40 omnibuses pass
Charing Cross in the hour, 566 pass
the bank, 542 pass Oxford Circus and
518 pass Piccadilly Circus. Omnibuses
and underground trains carry 4O0O,0 900
passengers day. The population has
increased less than 20 per cent since
the beginning of the century, but for
every journey in bus, tram, train, or
cab people made then, they make be.
tween 80 and 40 today.

Time the 7askmaster.

Out in the world Of harsh realities
Eve began to introduce system into
the lives of herself and Adam, writes
Haywood Broun, in Judge. You re-
member that it was not until the ex-
pulsion that man and woman thought
Of the necessity of wearing clothes. A
little later the practice OF dressing for
dinner began. With the aid Of her
watch Eve made the meal a fixed point
in the day. 1t came every evening at
precisely 8 o'clock, and Adam had to
eat it then or not at all. The more
primitive and pleasing practice Of din
ing only when, and if, you felt like it,
was abandoned. It was about this
time that indigestion came into the
world. Adam regretted it, but Eve
was rather thrilled. Illness gave her
an opportunity to bring schedule even
more fully into the life Of her husband
by providing certain remedies to be
taken three times every hour. But
there were no remedies to stave off
getting old, and because minutes and
seconds and hours had come into the
world the years followed. They fell
upon Adam and Eve presently and
they died. It all came from the un-
fortunate eating of the apple upon the
tree of knowledge. No sooner had
Eve taken the first bite than she
learned to tell time.

Wood Money.

Wood does not occur to many of us
as substitute for gold, but a Swiss
newspaper insists with logic that in
many countries the substitution has
been made. Recalling the brilliant
ante-war guaranteeing Of note assets
with gold deposits, the Swiss journal
remarks: I'm most European coun-
tries the paper currency is now based
not upon gold, but upon wood. The
wood is changed by busy hands into
paper, from which beautifully colored
bank notes are manufactured. Gaudy
certificates, bearing many ciphers, are
the money Of today, which is being
turned out in floods" When one re-
calls the vast forest resources of Rus
STA, he may begin to wonder how far
upward the billions Of Russian paper
money already issued may mount.
Some fnancier should suggest to
printing press governments the su-
perior advantages Of American wam-
pun over wood shavings as a handy
medium of exchange.

ALL SOUGHT 8 | i COLD D
Every Age Has Felt Lure of tie
Precious Metal.
Well Described as One Of the Most
Compelling Forces in Moldino
of Human History.

Gold has been one of the most COM
polling forces in the mOlding Of hui
man history, says the Mentor Maya
zine. In all ages and all languages the
word itself has been Turing and COM
manding. In the second chapter Of
Genesis, the land Of Havilah, "where
there is gold," Is mentioned. The Ark
Of the Covenant was extensively Or
namented with gold. Solomon's throne
was of gold, and, when the queen Of
Sheba visited him, it was fanked by
soldiers bearing 1.-TWO hundred targets
Of beaten gold" The Three Wise Men
of the East, who followed the star of
Bethlehem, bore golden gifts. In Rev.
elation the Apostle John pictures the
heavenly city as one of golden streets.
Gold has usually been the lure Of
the venturesome. Jason and his Ar
gonauts set sail from Sicily to - the
farther shore Of the Black sea to bring
back the golden fleece. In later times,
Philip the Good, duke Of Burgundy,
banded his knights into the famous
Order Of the Golden Fleece.
Propertius, whose life covered
roughly the so years preceding the
birth of Christ, wrote: 'This is in
deed the golden age. The greatest re-
wards come from gold by gold, love is
won; by gold, faith is destroyed; by
gold, justice is bought. The law fol-
lows the track Of gold, while modesty
will soon follow it, when love is gone"
Marcus Crassus, the Roman general,
was so eager for the gold of the Par
thians that he led his son and II le-
gions into disastrous defeat. As he
lay dead the Parthians poured molten
gold into his gaping mouth.
No symbol has so pervaded history
as the gold ring. The wedding ring
has always been Of gold. The rulers
Of Venice used to toss a wedding ring
into the sea, thus consecrating the
union Of Venice and the Adriatic sea.
Wedding rings Of the Seventeenth cen
fury bore the motto, 1.-THE wife will be
subject to the man." Hannibal ended
his life with poison ring.
When one pope wished to reward a
queen for her pious work he pre-
sented her with cluster Of roses and
buds worked in pure gold.
The caliph of Bagdad was inaugu-
rated by throwing over his head a
golden veil, strongly scented with
musk.
The lure of gold n9re than the de-
sire for knowledge ed to the discov-
cry and conquest o. America. Pizar-
70 reduced the na:Sve population of
Peru from 15,0O0,Gsso to 100000 in
his quest for gold. Montezuma, king
Of the Aztecs in Mexico, sealed his
doom when he let Cottez, the Span
ish conquerer, know Of a great amount
Of gold he had.
In all times the dream of trans
muting baser metals to gold has been
a dream of man. Alchemy, black
art that swayed king and commoner
alike, only ceased to exist in the Eight
zenith century when James Price, a
distinguished amateur chemist, be-
lieved that he had discovered the Sc
cret. He presented some Of his man.
ufactured gold to George ~, but when
called upon to demonstrate his proc
ess to a committee Of the scientists,
drank laurel water and died almost
Immediately.

LIKE THEIR DANGEROUS JOB
Men in Charge Of Elephants in Biz
City contented and Happy in
Occupation.

At midnight in New York one may
trail elephants hung with red Ian
terms under the influence Of nothing
more potent than ice cream with hot
chocolate sauce, writes correspond
ent of the Kansas City Star.
The Roaring Forties was in the Sec
ond lap Of it's nightly fling. Stage
doormen were putting their final pipes.
In a theatrical areaway a gate swung
open and out into the street numbered
big elephant with lighted red Ian
tern swinging at the end of it's trunk.
Trunk to tail, elephant fashion,
three others drew up in the rear. After
them came a prancing herd of Shet-
land ponies,, tugging at ropes held by
bored grooms The procession moved
over side street and turned north
ward into Sixth avenue. $3.50
Adventures beckoned so I followed.
In the Fifties the lead elephant turned
into an old garage, walked up a ramp
to the second floor and into stall.
The others took their places in stalls
for the midnight meal.
The elephant men were having their
hour of relaxation while the city slept.
Odd folk, these elephant trainers. In
all New York there are only ten. They
have club-the Tusk and Trunk.
Most of them have braved death stalk
ing game in the African jungles.
1t is their job to be constantly near
their charges. They never know what
notion an elephant may take and
should it take playful turn-well, a
crowded city is no place for a playful
pachyderm.
The trainers sat about on upturned
buckets in their shirtsleeves spinning
yarns of adventure and exploding ele-
plant myths. One Of their elephants
is fond of tobacco and the mice about
the old garage never give them the
slightest fright. ".
The trainers use picturesque cpl
thets. Their faces are weatherbeaten
and they have enjoyed few Of the fin
er comforts. Yet they are happy and
given to romancing in delightful
fashion. Also they are engagingly
frank.
"What would you d." I asked one
Of the trainers, eff your elephants
should suddenly go on a stampede? ?"
"Run like h-ll for the subway" he
replied
