SECOND NUMBER OF
LYCEUM COURSE
DIR. Henry Black Lewis

! Dr. Henry Black Burns, who will
I lecture here on Jan. 14th, at the the
High School Auditorium, is not q
Doctor of Divinity, yet he believes as
many other prominent thinkers of
today, that the remdy for the worlds
state of upheaval is revival of re-
ligion, an application of Christianity
beginning in the home.
DR.. Burns is speaker who does
not fear to call things by their right
names; he does no throw bouquets,
be faulty, but unflinchingly tells the
truth about them, despite the posi-
bility OF making himself unpopular
by so doing. But he does not make
himself unpopular, because he has
the rare faculty of telling the people
what they do not like to hear in
such way that they take it and are
better for it, Just like the bitter
medicine the old family physician
pours into the spoon and makes US
swallow.
Years on the platform have de-
veloped DR.. BURNS and ripened his
powers as a public speaker. OF
Scotch blood, and reared amid the
of Pennsylvania farm, !
where he labored as a youth, then
worked at various occupations to
gain his professional education as an
IN. d., DR.. Burns has been nodded
into fine specimen of manhood .
which hates sham and is characterize

STATE TAXES
LOWEST IN
FIVE YEARS

Boise, Idaho.-Idaho's state tax is
lower this year than it has been for
the past five years, according to a
comparative statement issued Tues
day by e. G. Gallet, State Auditor.
The auditors figures show that
from the 7.S3 mills, $7.S3 on each
$1,000 valuation, levied in 1919, the
tax has dropped to ATT mills, or
$4.77 Or each $1,000 valuation, in
1928. A comparison of the tax

Charles NJ, Schwab said at a din.
ner in New York:
'The advocates of government

roads and mines and what-not-do not
shout so loud since Russia showed
the world how the idea has worked
there.
'When Sir Eric Geddes was trying
to introduce economies into England's
government services last year, he
often noticed, in passage in White
hall, sentry In uniform. He asked
the sentry one day what his duties
were. The man said he was there
to warn people not to touch the wall.
He had been stationed there, issuing
that warning, for ten years. Why?
He didn't know.
well, Sir Eric Geddes investigated
the matter, and he found that war
minister's wife had brushed her
sleeve against wet paint on that wall /
30 years before. A warning sentry
stationed there that afternoon, had re-
manned ever since. Detroit Free

TELL OF VICTORY
Inscriptions Record the Passage
of Conquerors.
Ancient and Modern Times Connected
by Tablets Put on Record
In the Holy Land.

More than three thousand. years ago
on the face of a cliff In the Lebanon
hills Rameses II, king of Egypt, or
dered his stone carvers to inscrlbe a
tablet setting forth his conquest Of the
! land The figures of the ancient
| Egyptian and his men are still visible.
A few feet away one may see, carved
in the same rock by British stone
cutter, record Of the coming in Sep
| tember, 1918, of Field Marshal Sir
Edmund II. Allenby, G. @. b., COM
mander of the allied forces In Asia
Minor And the passage Of the cen
| turies from b. c. 1900 to A. d. 1913
, is recorded by various other carvings,
in all not less than twelve, each de-
scrihing the march of a victorious
army.
The cliff selected for the carving of
these historic records Is at the mouth
of the Dog river, ten miles northeast
of Beirut In Syria This strip Of coun-
try lying between the Lebanons and
Egypt has been the bridge between
the ancient empires of the valley of
tie Nile and Mesopotamia, and over
1t have passed the armies of the an
cient medieval and modern worlds.
The narr0west point Is where the
Lebanon mountains come close to the
sea and Mt this place Rameses II set
the precedent of commemorating his
conquests by hewing out panel on
the face Of the cliff. These carvings
are cut about four or five inches deep,
from five to nine feet high, and from
two to four and half feet In width.
Several Assyrian conquerors led
their armies through this pass, includ-
ing the great sennaoherib, who threat
ened Jerusalem, but whose army was
smitten by "the breath of the Lord"
Alexander the Great led his conquer
ing hosts through the same defile on
his way to Egypt, and Greek and Latin
tablets tell of the conquests Of the
great kingdoms of southern Europe
when the march Of empire passed from
Asia to Europe.
Coming down to recent history,
tablet tells Of the coming Of the army
Df Louis Napoleon In 1860. when the
nassacres in the Lebanons called for

"Newp Rembrandt Found,

According to Dutch newspapers, a
remarkable Rembrandt painting, the
existence of which was previously un-
suspected, has recently been discov-
cred in Prague by Doctor Fell, an art
critic.
The painting, SO centimeters In
height by 81 in width, is on wood and
represents the marriage of Alexander
the Great and Roxanna. 1t is said to
be splendid example of the great
painters wonderful mastery of light
and shade.
Rembrandts signature, a Persian
inscription indicating the subject of
the work, and the date, 1923, came to
light after numerous coats Of heavy
varnish had been removed from the
picture.

ImpuIsive "UncIe BJIlyn

Uncle Billy Middesworth, founder
of one of the leading houses at the
stockyards, was much beloved and
respected, albeit in his later years he
developed a highly nervous disposition
and would occasionally jump to wrong
conclusions. Once he got 1t in his
mind that he had got the hot end of
a trade with big, double-isted Mike
Sells, always square as a die and one
of the most successful dealers at the
Yards. One morning Uncle Billy met
Mike In the big corridor of the ex-
change and cut loose In his high
pitched, nervous voice. Such a clash
of the "big fellows" at once drew a
highly interested crowd. Sells lis
tenc3 with grim scowl until Uncle
Billy ran out-of breath and bad names.
Then he broke into a pleasant grin.
"All right, Uncle Billy, can you let
me have a chaw7"
"YeS-yOu - -" replied ITncIe
Billy, his voice still trembling from
his fast-fading rage, as he hauled an
enormous plug from his hip pocket.

to 3S.4 per cent of the price received
on prunes the freight rate to Chicago
rated from AIS per cent to 119 pc
cent. On livestock and dairy pro
ducts the freight charges were rela
lively lower, but still high enough tC
! take away a reasonable margin OF
| profit in most instances.
The Senator called the Commits
sion's attention to the fact that two
horizontal increases have been made
in freight rates, in which no attention
was paid by the Government as to
how high the rate was originally or
how low the rate, or how long the
haul or how short the haul, or what
the product would bear to carry it
to market.
He filed with the Commission a
table showing the amount of money
required to ship carload of farm
products from Idaho to the eastern
market, together with the increased
prices that the farmer is forced to
pay for the things he must buy.
The increase in freight rates over
prewar rates on farm products from
Idaho ranges from thirty to fifty per
cent. This, together with the high
cost of labor and the increased price
of everything the farmer must buy for
the home and the farm, as against
the price he receives for everything
he produces, is responsible for the
condition Of not only the farmers on
Government irrigation projects but
farmers in Idaho generally.
The statement furnished Senator
Gooding by the water users of the
Southside Unit of the Minidoka Pro-
Ject showed that the prewar price of
a farm wagon was $4,000; now it
is S225.00, an increase of 73 per
cent. The prewar price of pIows
was SIS; now it is $13O; harvesters
$165, as against $3.50, at the present
time; potato diggers S11O, now S1S5.
mowers $65, now 500; cultivators
$75, now $125; grain drills 500.
now S165; harness SIS, now S125.
All other farm machinery has in,
creased in the same ratio. 1t would
require so tons of hay at IS per ton
TO purchase one wagon, or the hav
from 20 acres of ground. 1t would
take 416 bushels of wheat at the
prevailing price to purchase one har-
yester. AS a consequence of the above
difference in the price of what the
FARMER has to sell and what he must
pay for the things he is compelled to
buy, the machinery is not being re-
placed as it wears out.
In conclusion, Senator Gooding
said that all Idaho needed was =
square deal all the way round-iust
fighting chance; that no State in
he Union had greater resources than
Idaho; blessed %iA''aaa-,cIimate where
he Elements Aemas, I.

he world where livestock can be

ION than in Idaho. Few, if anvr
'tates in the Union offer greater
opportunity for the development of
Vater power than is found On the
make River, but Idaho's greatest as

this respect, nature has been es-
