ON SCHOOL CONSOLIDATION.
Question of Enlarging Nezperce
School District Opened by Discus
sion in Parent Teachers
Meeting.

Will the rural school districts sur
rounding Nezperce join in making foi
| themselves and their community cen
ter the best possible grade and high
schoola This question, which was Wig
orously launched last night at the
monthly meeting of the ParenttTeach-
ers Association in this city, is now
very live one under comment, Pre-
and con, all over the territory affect.
ed.
/ Like many another first-class high
school in the accredited class, that of
Nezperce has come to the point where
it must either go forward or back
ward. Since it cannot go backward,
ways and means must be found for its
advancement. The logical way out
seems to be the agreeable annexation
of adjacent rural districts, through
which arrangement both the town and
rural districts would mutually profit,
according to the way the plan has
worked in other sections of the coun-
try where it has been tried
The discussion of this subject was
opened at last nights meeting by an
Introductory talk by Superintendent
Rantz of the local schools, in which
he outlined the matter.
County Assessor Ratliff and County
Auditor w. r. Emerson presented fig
ures from the records in. their offices
on which to base calculations as to
the tax conditions in each district un-
der consideration and the difference
the consolidation would make in
these; giving the area of the several
districts, their valuations, and approx
innate expense to each, etc.
Rey Reinhardt, in a talk prepared
for the occasion, gave good exposi-
tion of the rural districts attitude;
from the landholder and the tenant 3
point of view; from the way it would
be considered by these with children
Of school age and those without.
The discussion then became general
and the consolidation was vigorously
sponsored by some and as vigorously
opposed by others; the advantages of
the better school opportunities sway
ing one side, and the presumed in
crease in taxes to the rural districts
and the long distances the children
in the farther precincts would have to
travel being the backbone of the ar
gument of those opposed.
A bill before the Idaho legislature,
which contemplates the assistance Of
central schools, was brought into the
discussion, and upon its success or
failure will depend somewhat the enr
ergy with which the movement started
here last night is pressed. If it should
furnish the needed relief, the case
such information as would be of value
on the subject IS it now stands will
be disseminated as far as possible,
and to do this the columns of The
Herald are open.
The entertainment numbers which
followed the reading of the minutes
at last nights meeting wore very
good, and included song by four
young ladies from the High School
Glee Club and an argument at law by
two colored lights of the bar, Hirshel
Basket and Wilbur Ellis being the
impersonators. This "sl1it" is from
the Hi Jinks program which the High
School is preparing to give at an early
date.

Game Warden W. w. Pickett Is
making plans for seining in Lake
Pend d'Oreille to try and find trace
of the Lake Superior whitefish which
were planted here In 1884. He will
be assisted in the work by Came
Warden William Heathershaw of
Boundary county and by G. G. Leon
ard, of this county. Mr.. Leonard has
had experience in deep water seining
in Canadian lakes for the Lake Super
Tor whitefish. It is expected that ,
depth of several hundred feet will
have to be attained in order to get he
fish, as they are specie round in
deep lakes. The seining will be done
near Glengary, near the mouth Of
Pack river and perhaps off the mouth
of the Clarksfork river. The Lake
Superior whitefish do not "bite" and
as no seining had ever been done in
the lake, il is not known whether
those planted here almost 40 years
ago survived or perished.-Review

The following story sent out from
Washington and appearing in the
daily press of Tuesday has lifted the
eyes of agriculture from the sodden
ground that gave no promise of prof
table returns to the bright light of a
new day of hope:

price guarantee system on wheat un-
der bill introduced in the senate by
Senator Gooding of Idaho Monday.
The basis of all prices guaranteed, the
bill provides, would be $l.75 for No.
~ northern spring wheat, the official
grain standards of the United States
10 be used in setting the prices of
other grades.
The bin provides for a cooperate
body to be known as the wheat sta
bilizing corporation to be composed
of the secretary of agriculture and
two other persons appointed by the
president. The corporation would
have a capital stock of $300,000,000
Ia shares of par value of 500. The
stock would be nontransferable and
held entirely by the United States
government.
The corporation is authorized and
directed" by the bill to purchase for
cash, at the guaranteed price, wheat
which is of a grade fixed by the
United States official grain standards
and which is produced in the United
States during the years 1923, 1924 and
1925, upon delivery Thereof at termi-

SCIENCE DISCOVERS FLU GERM.


Schenectady, N. Y, Feb. 3.--Hopes
of thousands of sufferers from epidem-

GERM
The announcement is made by Dr.
Simon Flexner, director of the Rookie
feller institute, of medical research,
who attributes the discovery to DR..
Peter Olitsky and Dr.. Frederick 7.
Gates, also of the institute.
The isolation viii permit expert
mentation with antidotes and antitox-
ms. SO small is the germ that it must
be magnified 1000 times before it IS
seen distinctly under the microscope.
The germ lodges in the nose and
throat during the first SO hours of in
fluenza infection, then attacks the
lungs in such way as to make them
susceptible to other germs in the nose
and throat, notably those of pneu-
monia and bronchitis.

Steel WHEELS FOR
. USE ON PULLMANS
Change Made In Construc-
ton of Sleeping Cars
WERE PAPER CORED
Idea Originated Back In 1880
But Has Now Passed
Into History
ASSOCIATED Press Dispatch. !

- Chicago, May S.-The paper cal
wheel that intrigued the imagination
OF America years ago, and which
once served on every Pullman car, is
now only a memory, according to
the Pullman News. .. INV
The steel wheel has succeeded the
paper cored wheel in every instance
The publics idea, back in 1880,
that the paper wheels superiority
was that the paper center would not
be susceptible to the expanding and
contracting influences OF heat and
cold was a Misrepresentation, as the
real reason for its value lay in the
deadening of sound under passenger
cars, particularly, Pullmans. 1t was
successful for twenty five years ana
then the all steel wheel began 10
take it's place, until today there is
not a paper cored wheel on any Pull
man car, according to the News.
Strawboard Paper Needed
In manufacturing the paper wheel
common strawboard paper, such as
butchers formerly used to wrap meat
in, was needed. At first sixteen
sheets were placed together, damp
ened, pressed and baked. Three sec
tions, or forty eight sheets, were
pressed together and dried for from
thirty to ninety days in kiln. The
final process was to take four sec
tons of forty eight sheets or 1872 and
press them together. This made up
the block from which the wheel was
made and it was allowed to dry in
the kiln six months.
All that then remained as to turn
this block on lathe until it attained
the desired spherical form. This pa
per center would be incased in a
steel tire and sides, the latter being
clamped together. A thirty eight
inch wheel with a three inch tire
" Weighed about 1910 pounds. The
present Pullman all steel wheel, OF
which there are twelve under, each
car, is thirty six inches in diameter
and weighes 925 pounds.

DIR. JOHN P. SUMMERS
HARRY 3. HUNT I.

Washington, May S.-A Japanese
invasion of America, engineered by
an employe of the United States
government itself, will be under
taken within the next two months.
Though the invading forces will
arrive at Pacific ports, the center
of their operations will be in New
England.
The little yellow invaders are
flies, and their job is to make life
miserable for the gypsy moth which
is playing havoc with New England
orchards
Entomologically, they are spe
cies Of "apantiles." In everyday
lingo they are parasitic insects
which like to use the caterpillar of
the gypsy moth as Matching places
for their eggs.
The man who is rounding up the
apantile army, DIR. John Summers,
Uncle Sans expert on moths, land
ed in Japan last week and called on
Japanese fy- catchers to bring in
recruits.
AS fast as these are obtained in
regimental units, they will be EN- :
barked for Boston and the battle
fields.
Summers has covered a large sec
ton of the globe rounding up para
sites to prey on other parasites
His Job is to pick the insects that
are harmless to plant and animal
life, but are deadly enemies OF other
and harmful insects, and sick the
good bugs on the bad ones.
