'oehcaly Inclined there usually is given outlet to their
enthusiasm for the blessings has bestowed
his wonderful lake region Last year NJ Kremer of Madison
ogether with his good wife spent their honeso-
goodness vacation the Big Woods The following found in
cabin of the after left tells how
his section has made another apostle of
state insurance man:
When from toll and care I'm weary
And the days all long
When my eyes grow dull and bleary
And life has lost it's song;
1t is then hear calling
From the pine and the air
Of that mystic happy dreamland
On the shores of Vudesare
No need for to worry
When beside the longest miles,
Love scatters all'her
And laughter weaves her smile.
Dull and ceaseless worry
Find companions there
For life is song the whole day long
At Old Lac Vudesare.
When night let's down her curtain
And punctures it with stars
When the moonbeams paint the rippes
With million golden bars;
can hear the zephyrs signing
Through the trees so tall and fair,
Where the clouds lined with silver
At Old Lac Vudesare
close my eyes and fancy
once again those forest trails
That lead through Gods temples
Over hills and through the vaIes
1t is then my eyes grow misty,
And breath fervd prayer
That none may mar the beauty
Of the shores of Vudesare.
Yes, know I'm growing restless
Memory taunts my dreams;
And hear a voice acallng
Where the crystal waters CLEAN.
The pull of the heart-strings tighten
Away with business and care,
And pack my grip for another trip
To Old Lac Vudesare.

Discovery of kiss dope ped

at Audi IN state prison, was disclosed
today by Brigadier General Edgar
Jennings, warden, who has started
an investigation of dope traffic with
in the states penal institution.
1--WE have one case" said Genera
Jennings today, where girl dope
seller in kissing prisoner trans
ferred the dope to his mouth.
Dope has been placed under the
stamp on letter and in books and
magazines. Since the discovery OF
that manner of getting it to prison
ers, a ban has been placed on the en-
trance of books and magazines other
than those which come direct from
the publisher.
"Hypodermic needles are not used
in this prison. The drug addict will
find a way, however One of these
is to pierce his arm with needle
and then inject the dope with the
aid of an eye dropper."
Inmates of the prison are permit

CAPITOL STUDIES
CAR POOL PLAN

Washington, July NO part OF
President Harding's recent speech on
the railroads at Kansas City has
aroused greater interest among SEN
ators and representatives who have
been brave enough to remain at
work here during the capitols torrid
season than his reference to a nation
wide pool of freight cars. The Presi-
dent said:
THE proposal of the nationwide
car pool has lately attracted much
attention. The Pullman Company
fairly illustrates what is meant
This great corporation provides most
of the railroads with certain kind
of cars, on rental basis. Applying
the same idea to the provision of
freight cars, you have a rough notion
of the proposed car pool. 1t is urged
by advocates that it would unity the
rolling stock organization, make
possible the enlistment of adequate
capital to provide for the weak and
strong roads alike, place the entire
organization under a centralized con-
troll which would insure equity to
all roads and sections"

OVER A MILLION BOY SCOUTS
USE LEFT HANDSHAKE

The 1922 annual report of the
Boy Scout Association of England
of which Sir Robert Baden-Powell
founder of Scouting, Is Chief Scout,
gives the total number of Boy Scouts
belonging to Associations through
out the world registered with the In
ternational Scout Bureau, last Aug
ust, as 1,072,300. In the entire
British Dominions the world over,
there were 233,532 scouts with H.
Sal leaders, and $1,000 Wolf Cubs
younger boys in training for Scout
ing-with APO leaders. In the
United States on the same date there
were 411,767 scouts with 40,232
volunteer leaders besides some 80,-
900 members Of local councils, troop
committees, and so forth. OF course,
these numbers have increased for
both countries and for the world at
large since then, the Boy Scouts of
America numbering some W h r e
around 608,000 Scouts and officials
at the present time.
Scouting has grown so, the move
ment now has an International Blu
reau or clearing house for informa
ton, and this Bureau has notified
Chief Scout Executive James E. West |
of the Boy Scouts of America that
all registered Associations have re-
ported the adoption of the left hand
shake as the official handshake for
scouts. The. left handshake idea is
popular with scouts, for it adds
touch of fraternalism, of mysticism
and, what is perhaps of more inn
portance to the boy, leaves his right
hand free for a salute or some act
Of friendly service. The Boy Scouts
Of American fell into line with other
nations already using the left hand

THE IDAHO STATESMAN
IS WRONG

We Judge that the Idaho Daily
Statesman is making another one o.
its mistakes. 1t does some very
good things, and in doing so 1t some
times does some harm that balances
the good accomplished.
Teachers know that it takes 9
great deal of reviewing to get things
permanently recorded in the pupil
mind, and those who deal with the
public mind know that it takes a Ions
time to drive an idea home so tha
the mass of minds have proper
understanding of it, but publisher.
also learn that there is such thins
as nagging, and well-intentioneC
drilling at an idea often DEVELOPS
into nagging and goes wide of the
mark. When a newspaper under.
takes a campaign to educate the
whole pubic on a question, it does
so at the risk of having part of its
readers look upon it as nagging, and
feeling an inclination not to follow
the subject. Readers of the Daily
Statesman have probably observed
that such campaign has long been
in progress in regard to Senator
Borah over his direct primary hobby,
and while the Statesman is ten times
nearer right than is the Senator, it
is doubtful whether the constant
rapping at him will accomplish the
desired result.
But it was not the Borah primary
matter that we meant to direct at
tention to as the latest mistake. 1t
is the attitude of the Statesman on
the dismissal of A. P. Davis and the
appointment of d. W. Davis, in the
Reclamation Service. The States
man is limiting at something wrong
but does not say in straight for
ward manner what it means.
The department of reclamation
has for thirty-five years had A. P.
Davis as it's chief engineer, and for
twenty years F. E. Weymouth has
been assistant engineer. The busi-
ness of the department has grown
to such proportions that a large
amount of the business has been adj
ministered at the Denver office pre-
sided over by Mr.. Weymouth. There
has been considerable study in recent
years, to see whether it would not
be better to make Denver the head
of the Reclamation department, in
stead of having so much done in
duplicate to maintain the two sets
of offices and have one of them near
the field of operations.
The new secretary of the interior, !
DR.. Work, sought to follow the ex-
ample set by the administration in
appointing Mr.. Dawes to put the
whole of the government business on
an efficiency basis by cutting red
tape and looping off employees wher-
ever savings could be made and eff
iciency increased or maintained. DR..
Work made new position and ap-
pointed D. w. Davis, former COVER
nor of Idaho, to go out and look over
LII the twenty-six reclamation pro-
