WOULD DO AWAY WITH SUMMER
VACATION

Beginning at the top with the uni
versities, the idea is growing for the
abolition of the long summer school
vacation. At Berkeley a big sumne
school fills up this period, and a few
years G Stanford adopted the con-
tinuous session plan by dividing the
year into four quarters and allowing
each member of the university one
quarter off, instead of all taking their
vacations at once. The idea is taking
York the congestion in school facili-
ties has led to using the vacation
periods for extra classes, and Los
Angeles is discussing the suggestion
of all-the-year-round schools. Theo-
retically, it might be desirable to have
everybody take vacations at the same
time. But actually this is not pos
sible. The machinery of society must
operate all the time. The Stanford
idea of keeping the wheels moving
but dividing the year into foul quart
ers, three of which are considered a
full years work for both teacher and
student, appears to suit the school
problem very well. There seems to
be no reason why it could not be APP
piled with equal success to city
schools or to any other school system
large enough to lend itself to such a
subdivision. This plan would make a
33 per cent increase in capacity of
school facilities with no extra expense
for buildings or equipment.=Lewiston
Tribune.
The latest figures made public on
the exports and imports of the United
States indicate that the fiscal year
1922, which ends with June, will show
imports of approximately So, 500, 000,-
900, against 1864, 900, 900 in the fis- !
cal year 1921 and 81, 1894, 900, 900 in the
fiscal year Immediately preceding the
war. Exports will approximate 49,

the Immediately preceding fiscal year
and 1886, 000, 900 in the year preced-

Notice to Fruit Growers

The first spray application for the
control of the codling moth should be
applied when about 80 per cent of the
bloom has fallen. Section 2077 of
the Horticulture Laws of the State OF
Idaho requires that all apple and pear
trees must be sprayed at least twice
during the season and insists on this
being done.

Governor Hart of the state of Wash

poll tax in that state is a good thing,
drawing money from thousands of
persons who have not paid taxes for
years. The Yakima Republic, COM

that the only excuse for the poll tax
is that the state needs the money.
The editor of the newspaper, as

blow up a county. and We demolished
an old barn which we had bought for
the experiment, and"
That was enough. Silas Manning
suddenly disappeared from view, and
the stranger found himself alone.
Rushing behind the counter he discov-

back gasping for breath. That's all

the sky was blue and cloudless.
Out of their cellars emerged the
people of Willowville. Women cried
with joy when they discovered that
their homes had not been demolished,
and all were elated when they learned
that no damage had been done in the
town.
Men rapidly gathered at the post
office and the two general stores in
the village. They discussed the mys-

on-coming pillar of cloud at a little
