By Mrs.. s..
| SCHOOL NURSE

| SCHOOL NURSE
WINS APPROVAL
In the opinion of school people and
others who understand the proposition
the endorsing OF the resolution favoring
q school nurse by the county school
trustees yesterday is the biggest ac-
complishm2nt Of the day.
Mrs Blanche Austin, member Of the
board of trustees of McCabc union in
troduced the resolution afteg the matter
had been presented in talks by Mrs. w
| r. Farmer Of Central district and Sup
ernt endcnt A. p. Shibley of FL Centro
| Mrs. Farmer was chairman for two
years Of the home department and Mrs
| Austin is chairman at this time. Both
are women of education and culture who
have kept close to things in their coun-
ty and perhaps know the needs of the
! schools as well as any other in the val
| ley.
Mr.. Shibley not only handled the
health side of the question, but ex-
plaihed sthe necessary legal steps where
| by the project may be carried out. BY
groups of districts joining together and
employing the nurse, as they do, with
proper consideration of qualifications
| anu I'cISoHdiilN, tHC Ilibltl tttil NC ult't
to conform with every legal require
ment. The funds for the purpose would
be taken account of in the school bud
gets of the districts joining together to
hire the nurse.
From an economic viewpoint alone,
the speakers proved that it is eminently
worth while to have a nurse who can
look after the health of her section,
control spread of contagious diseases
and assist in maintenance of sanitary
and health conditions in the neighbor-
hood to the end that pupils may advance
more rapidly in their work and prevent
the Increasing number Of pupils who
fall behind for Il year or semester to
their own loss ana to the expense of
The state and county.
Mark Kcppel added his voice to the
discussion with convincing effect and
the resolution of Mrs. Austin waa
heartily endorsed. Steps will be taken
at once to work out the scheme in such
districts as wish to unite for the pur-
pose.

III Professor w. l.. Nido from the teach
r S college in San Diego told Imperial

yesterday that the principal thing they
ave to do is to select the teacher. lie
bid she must be real teacher and one
4 orn to the work us well us trained for
II, there are not enough of that kind
b go around. In his school they will
iraduate some they can only recon-
pend as mediocre and others who viii
q lot be recommended ut ALL only by the
&.Pnding of their school credentials
& fhich will show that they have made
&c required credits desired for gradu-
q tion from the institution and are
II therefore entitled to graduation.
Professor Nido called the teaching
rofession the greatest of all and told
he trustees that higher salaries should

b en- in the country to go into it as II
&fc work
81 The state has n new law now, under
hich a teacher who has taught two
&Dnsecutive years in district is auto
\ atically classed as permanent and can
N ay us long us she wants TO unless
&foven by law to be incompetent or un-
n professional. He said it is of utmost
that teachers for the com
#8g year be selected with great care.
IA The speaker deplored the fact that
Sc really great teacher who ought to
ii i'll the profession for life, so often
81 ITS married and is lost to the schools,
b hich made his hearers wonder if Il
n gger salary for teachers, or anything
81 Sc for that matter will ever remedy

sHa The speaker gave valuable advice to
&c trustees along other lines. He
n ought every school should have II
n ornament library right in the school,
Nth books carefully selected with due
.gard to the age and experience of
&c children in the school. These books
ould be there all of the time to be
fad and rcrcad by the children, he
i'd The county library is doing good

y own books, to some extent at least,
en- though the number of volumes is
nited
Mrs. Swanson, school attendance of
ger, told something of her work, re-
ting specific cases which she has
ndled in the county. Dale Cooper of

M reless expenditure of school funds

81 pre- so than the vocal solos by Mrs.

ORGANIZE NJ. w. OF A.

A camp of the Modern Wood
men of America was organized
at Fem, Tuesday evening, when
q candidates were initiated into
the order as charter members.
The work was in charge of B. F.
Whitcomb of Lewiston, the dis
tlict deputy.
Among those from Cotton
wood taking prominent parts in
the work were: Andy Ruste-
meyer, F. A. Ferguson and Ed
gar Brown. Clifford White of
this city was a candidate.
After the initiatory work a
banquet was served by the
ladies', which for good things to
eat could not have been improv-
ed upon. The Fem women are
noted for being among the best
cooks in the county and this is
not over boasting, as one of the
members present expressed it
and the editor has heard this on
numerous occasions himself.

1000 PAY INCOME TAX.

Fred White, former county as
SCISSOR of Idaho county but now
a deputy in the internal revenue
office at Boise while in Idaho
county last week estimated that
the income tax returns of Idaho
for 1922 would be 26,000 to
27,000, or about the same as
1921. The blanks will be mail
ed out early in January.
Mr.. White is inclined to the
view that the gross tax revenue
in the state will about equal
that of 1921, which was 55 per
cent below that of 1920, show
ing the effect of the depression
following the decline of aqli-
cultural values. A portion of
the reduced revenues can be ac-
credited to the change in the law
which increased the married
mans exemption from $4,000 to
$500. with deduction of $400
instead of 5000 for each depen-
dent child.

SNOW, BLOWING. FREEZING

Cottonwood and Camas prai-
RE is experiencing real winter
weather this week. Last week,
and up to Sunday night more
than 18 inches of snow fell. Sun
day the prairie experienced a
real blizzard. The falling snow,
accompanied by a heavy wind
piled up snow in drifts to the
depth of several feet in many
instances. Sunday evening the
passenger train drawn by 3 engi-
nes made its way to Grangeville
with the assistance of the Rus
sell snow plow. Mondey even
ing the Thermometer registered
IL degrees below zero and We'd
nesday evening it dropped to IA
below.
The snow, has been of great
assistance in protecting grain
that is sown and has also greatly
protected water pipes, etc. The
cold weather has been detrimfn-
tai to the water system in Cot
tonwood as well as to the plant
of the Grangevil.e light company
on the Clearwater river. Elec-
trio juice is now being supplied
with the assistance of the auxil-

Botullnus poisoning claimed
another victim in Idaho when
Mrs. l.. B. Schaefer of HALEY
died at her home Saturday. Eff
forts to save her life in a race
with death through the rushing
of antitoXin by aiiplane from
Denver failed. Mrs. Schaefer
canned corn this fall and last
Thursday decided to serve some
of it to the family. Opening a
can she tasted Of it. but fearing
it was spoiled threw the con-
tents into the chicken coop. A
daughter also tasted the corn,
but swallowed none of it. Mrs.
Schaefer had swallowed some of
the corn and of the chickens that
ate the corn all but one died.
Mrs. Schaefer was taken i'll, her
throat became paralyzed and she
could not pai'take of nourish-
ment. She died without severe

ANNOUNCEMENT. 4

To the policyholdcrs of the
Northwestern Mutual Fire AS
sociatiOn:
You will he wondering how
much your company lost in the
great $l2, 100000 conflagration
at Astoria, Oregon.
Records show ii had only $21,-
900 insurance involved in the
entire burned area. This is
equal to about two days normal
premium income and less than
one-fourth the cash dividends
and savings returned to policy
holders during the single month
of November.
This company has been re-
peatedly solicited to accept bust
ness in the area visited by this
fire, but has always declined be-
cause of the serious conflagra-
ton hazard.
Whether a company be a
stock or mutual company the
policyholders must pay all the
losses of the company through
their insurance premiums. 1t
is because this company has
always refused to expose its
policyholders to the payment of
the most hazardous risks that
it has been able to return them
over $5,000,000 in cash divi-
dends and insurance savings.

YOU CAN'T ALWAYS TELL.

j. p. Simon, one of our sub
stantial citizens, some years ago
was influenced by a mighty
clever real estate promoter to
buy 80 acres Of land in southern
Colorado.
Upon examining the land,
personally, it turned out to be q
mighty fine piece of sage brush
and desert land. For years Mr..
Simon tried to give the so acres
to one of his sons without sue
cess. Lo and Eehold, now comes
the oil promoter and finds oil
on land adjoining and they are
offering Mr.. Simon the usual
Is net profit should oil be found
on his land free of any charge
or expense to him.
Mr.. Simon this week made out
a lease in favor Of the oil pro-
moters on 40 acres of the land
with the above mentioned stip-
ulations and the other 40 acres
he retains himself.
What once looked like a poor
investment may turn out to be a
mint. You can't always tell.
