1t would be interesting to be some
where within earshot when the dea
is being made between Henry Ford
and the democratic managers, provid-

Ford to full realization of the fact
that he is the nations wealthfest

The usefulness of the University of
Idaho to the people of the state does
not end with the close of school, but
continues throughout the summer.

parts of the state, as we'll as others
who wish to add to their qualifica-
lions for success in life by securing
a better education, are taking work
at the university, under many Of the
Institutions best instructors, and with
every facility of the school at their
demand. Then, too, there are the $50

who are taking advantage Of the short
course, and who will return to their
homes, carrying with them the seeds

more fully appreciated and parents
are more anxious to have their child

period of depression, which came in
1920, and it seems to be slightly on

is desirable, and prosperity equally
distributed. We do not know what
would be meant by a greater degree
If prosperity, however, than that re-

center in the United States, unless it
would mean still higher prices for
