JUN1OR.sENIOR BANQUET

One of the most delightful features
on the high school social calender
was held at the Colorado Fuel and
Iron Company hotel last Wednesday
evening when the senior class with
the school board, the high school
faculty, and few friends were called
by the juniors to attend the first
Junior-Senior banquet to be given by
the high school.
Upon entering the room, ones first
impression was that he had suddenly
been ushered into the Garden of Ar
den. The nice blending of class col
-ors in the decorations nearly left
the impression with the casual on
locker that something akin to har-
mony might exist between the two
classes.

first part. of the program, and al
most before some of. the more ap-

the presidefit"of the Juniors, and af-
ter brief cSmiifnent upon Mr. Ell
roy Miller's unusual ability in things
educational, he was asked to make
some suggestions to the class of '23
that might prove helpful to them in
later life. Miss Slavka Kuretich,
president Of the Seniors, responded
to Mr.. Miller's toast with a brief
talk based on the motto of her class
The speeches of the evening
abounded with stories that were ex-

where wit and wisdom were combined
to make merry the heart and to en-
phasize the benefits that may be ours
as a result of cur high school.

Expressions of the good times af-

ORIGIN LOST IN ANTIQUITY
One Can Only Speculate as to Whence
Came Proverbs That Today Are
Household Words.

A peculiarlty Of the proverbs of the
Bible is that they are worldwide In
their application, but 1t is true also
that they are not in the main hlstor-
ical in their illusions. The quest for
true origins is probably as futile rs It
is unrewarding. We share with Mr..
Marvin the surprise he felt when he
discovered that the phrase, Thou hast
the advantage of the angry when thou
keepest silence" is written in the pre-
cepts OF Pnh-hotep. dating back to
period more than 5000 years before
the birth of Christ. Who knows, in
deed. but that P.utarch and Perlander.
Thales and Heron. Solon and Solo
mon. and multitude of others who
lived In bygone ages. borrowed their
wise sayings from the talk of the fire.
sides, and the conversations in the
market places; so that the origin of
many proverbs now -flippantly quoted
in the converse OF men is lost in the
mists of forgotten centuriesr-Port-

TAUGHT IN CRUEL MANNER
Performing Animals Frequently In
spired by Torture to Remember
and Go Through Trick.

The exhibition of performing AMI
mails as means of livelihood is not
modern practice. Nor Is the use Of
cruelty in their training. The Arab
writer. John Leo, gives an excellent ac-
count of one method In his "Descrip-
tion Of Africa" published at Rome in
1926. He describes the preliminary
training of a dancing camel. The
young camel, he says. is placed for
half an hour In confined space. "the
floor whereof Is hot with fire." The
trainer then beats drum, and the
camel falls a dancing. not from any
desire to keep time with the beating
of the drum. but because of ''the hot
pavement which offendeth his feet"
This training was continued for about
a year, after which time the camel was
deemed fit for presentation unto the
publike view of the people, when as
hearing the noyse of drum, and re-
membering the time when he trode
upon the hot floore, he presently fall
eth dancing and leaping; and so. use
being turned into kind of nature, he
perpetually observeth the same GUS
tome"
At Cairo Leo saw Il wonderful per-
forming ass, whose antics have been
described in another famous book, Top
sells "liistorie OF Foure-Footed
Beastes," published in 1907. This ass
was almost human, says Leo.

THE NEWSPAPER BORROWER

Here is an observation credited to
that irrepressible adjunct of every
well regulated newspaper Office,
Exchange" that offers an original
idea:
A newspaper publisher whose sheet
had quite poor subscription list.
used to justify the value of his adver-
tising space on the ground that a
great many people borrowed the paper
and so read 1t without paying for it.
The number of people who habit
ually borrow newspapers is large.
Some men make II an excuse to drop
into store where a local paper is
lying around on the counter, and they
carefully peruse 1t, The clerks are
onto the game and snicker n little.
But as the man may be u good custo.
mer. they are glad to pass the paper
on.
Many papers go the rounds OF sew.

II. then pass II on TO their married
children. or give 1t to the hired mans

lender goes. that Is all kindlincs5 OF

lem OF producing newspaper in a
country town that shall adequately re.
present the community, and which
shall be able TO make u clean circula

to which Il is read. II is not a sub.
iect that needs more extended treat

Gooding Says Idaho Pays Highest
Freight Rates.

Senator Frank II. Gooding recently
made the statement in Boise that
Southern idaho has lost 10000 persons
siace 1920. Gooding county by actual
count has IL per cent fewer people
than at the time Of the census, and in
some counties the loss runs as high as
26 percent. This loss of population is n
result Of the agricultural depression,
due partly to the freight rates which
the railroads serving the state charge.
! am here TO ask the chamber of
commerce Of Boise to take the initia
tive in organizing a state traffic as
sociation to meet the determinations
practised by the railroads. Idaho pays
higher freight rates thnn any other
state in the Union. Boise should be a
city of 100000, but capital will not
invest in state where rates are SO
high. We do not ask lower rates than
other states; we ask only the same
treatment as states to east and west
are receiving, so Idaho may develop
her resources.
