structions of the Lloyd-George
government. The government had
ordered that the program be de-
ferred for an indefinite period
On its own initiative the Admi-

The Lloyd-George government
proceeded with the scrapping OF
all the ships specified in the
Washington agreement. BY so do

reserve of the British navy
against a possible Reputation OF

natory powers has been destroy

This, "act of good faith" has
pushed Englanl periiously near
the danger point, the Morning
Post declares. Should 4 repudla-
ton of tie Washington agreement
occur at this time, the resultant
strength Of the three great naval
powers would be, United States

But, the Post points out, only one
of these. the Hood, would EN-

from the experience of the war
The foregoing status puts Eng
land in 4 distinctly inferior posi-

modern ships.
If the treaty is ratified all
around, and IF the money for the
construction of the two new ships
is Forthcoming, England and the
United States, will be on parity
with % capital ships each. I'M
der the agreement England must
scrap four capital vessels upon
commissioning the pair of new
ones. Japan's quota will be ten
ships. If there is a hitch any
where the balance is destroyed and
England for the first time will
find herself, second in naval power
Meantime alarming rumors
come from France that the naval
agreement may not be obeyed.

FIRE DANGER

There is great danger from fire a
all times. hut particularly during tn,
present extremely dry season should
extraordinary safeguards be taker
against fire, which spreads rapidly in
dry grass, brush and timber. Frame
buildings are as dry as tinder, be-
cause of lack of rainfall, and little
chance exists of saving them, once
they are attacked by flames.
On Monday, thirty-five city blocks
in Berkeley, Cal, were destroyed by
flames, which originated in a small
grass fire, and with a loss of ten mil
lions of dollars. Forest fires now
raging in California, have caused
damage, and are threaten
ing towns.
Most fires are due to carelessness,
and can easily be prevented. Once
they are under headway, in dry
they are exceedingly difficult
to control. Every possible precaution
should be. taken to guard against fires.

POOR HANDWRITING

The postoffice department, in {
campaign for more distinct handwrit
ing, to prevent letters going astray
gives food for thought on apparent de
generation Of handwriting in the
United States.
Examination of legal documents,
yellowed by age, usually discloses a
careful, legible hand, with each letter
properly formed, according to the
prevailing rules Of the day.
Today handwriting is given little at
tention except in public schools, where
an attempt is made to teach the pu-
pills a legible hand, but quite often
the results are far from encouraging.
Years ago a youths handwriting
was matter that was taken into
lose consideration when he was an
applicant for a position. Could he
write a legible letter; could his IS
'e be distinguished from his cyphers
lis Is from a 1? How little do we
ear of it todayl
In these times of typewriters, add
lg machines, bookkeeping machines,
nd complicated calculators, pertinent
1estions are: Can you spell? Pune
late? Paragraph? Can you take die
tion? Understand the meaning of
mmon words? Good penmanship is
tie recognized in the business world
day. Good spelling, however, is a
stinct asset that can be capitalized
advantage. By all means, young
k should learn to spell. IN

COUNTY FAIRS

The fair season has arrived. This
week, the Kooskia fair is attracting
hundreds of visitors. Next week it
will be the Kamiah fair, and then
Orofno, to be followed by Nezperce,
and finally the Idaho County fair, at
Grangeville, on October 10, II and 12.
From early childhood, everyone re-
calls with pleasant memories the
county fairs. They have not changed
much in all these years. There still
are pumpkins and tomatoes, livestock
and races, CRITTERS and hoodlums.
About the only differences between
the fair of today and that of yester-
year are the supplanting by the air
plane of the old-fashioned balloon as
cension and parachute drop, always
interesting, no matter how old, and
the fact that father, mother and the
kids now ride to the fair in an auto-
mobile instead of 2-seated hack. as
in 1876 or 1894.
Fairs are of much value to every
community in which they are held
Aside from educational features af-
forded by assembling the choicest ag-
ricultural, horticultural and livestock
products of the country for display

ARTICLE BY BRISBANE

bDlCDANE
The Free Press carries on its frs
page a column, "This Week." writer
by Arthur Brisbane, of the Hearst
newspapers. Mr.. Brisbane's column
will be a regular feature of the Free
Press. He is the highest paid news
paper editor in the United States, if
not in the world
Mr. Brisbane's "Today" column has
been featured for several years by the
Hearst newspapers from Boston to
San Francisco. His terse comment on
matters of public interest is genuinely
worth while. The new column by Mr.
Brisbane, '"This Week." is a service
of the same quality as that which
has heretofore been available only to
daily newspapers owned by William
Randolph Hearst. The Free Press
was quick to sense the value of this
NOAeA4A4g anu dAAdLSGQ 1OI a IC6u-
lar contribution from Mr. Brisbane.
The Free Press has also arranged
for a weekly copyright article by
Richard Lloyd-Jones, former editor of {
Golfers Weekly, and a newspaper |
man of renown. Mr.. LlOyd-Jones is t
now editor of the Jacksonville (Fla.)
Journal, the Tulsa (Okla.) Tribune, v
and other newspapers in the south c
and east which he owns jointly with a
John Fl. Perry. W
These and other newspaper fea- b
lures of merit the Free Press is hi
bringing to the people of Idaho coun- he
ty. Last winter, the Free Press
promised to produce larger news in
paper These plans were delayed for an
the very sufficient reason that the OH
size and contents Of any newspaper tn,
are limited by the extent of the bus tat
mess office receipts. Reliable news col
paper features by nationally-known lit
writers are not to be had for a trihe. rod
In order that the Brisbane and dis
articles may be continued f.
and new departments added from foil
time to time, the Free Press asks that
he 1900 subscribers to this newspa-
per give prompt attention to their
accounts. In this way,
hey will be assured of larger and

COMMISSION HOLIDAY
AT CAPITAL FINISHED

Business scheduled for the city
commission meeting Tuesday morn
ing will be carried over to an ad-
journed meeting at 10 o'clock Thurs
day morning. This was announced
by Commissioner w. B. Cloe, lone
member at the city hall, Tuesday, his
associates being in Montgomery,
where they went to attend the in
auguration ceremonies. Information
at the offices OF each of the four
commi ssioners Tuesday afternoon
was that they were expected to re-
turn Tuesday night.
One of the measures scheduled for
Thursday is Commi ssioner Cloe's lit
ney ordinance, restricting number
and operation of cars. Cloe said he
had had no expressions from other
members of the commission, but he
believed the measure would pass.
Action will probably be taken on
recommendation OF the county board
of revenue, made Tuesday, that the
city resort to condemnation proceed
ings to obtain rights of way for
portion of the South Bessemer high
way that has been held up.
