YOUNG PEOPLE
In AUTO WRECK
* RETURNING FROM LEWISTON
CAR FAILS TO MAKE SHARP
TURN-INJURIES NOT SERIOUS

A party OF seven young people from
this city had an almost miraculous
escape from serious injury at an early
hour Sunday morning when the Buick
car in which they were returning
from Lewiston, jacknifed and turned
completely over at the sharp turn
in the highway a short distance be-
low Uniontown Those in the car
were Misses Ruth Montgomery. Alice
Ficke, and Margaret Collins, and La
than Moore. Ralph Jacobson, Ding
York, and "a young man from Spo-
kane.
Moore was at the wheel and thought
he was coming to a slight bend in
the road, instead of a sharp turn.
When he realized his mistake he
swung the wheel around to make the
turn, but the car, going at perhaps
40 miles an hour, was unable to ne
gotiate the turn and turned COM
pletely upside down, and then fell
on its side and skidded some dis
tanoe before it came to stop, A., A.,
excepting Moore were somewhat
scratched and bruised, Moore escap-
ing without injury, although the
steering wheel was broken out of the
car. Miss Ficke sustained the most
serious injuries, receiving a bad
wound on tho head and remaining un-
conscious for several hours. The
car, which belonged to young Jacob
son, was almost a complete wreck.
The two rear wheels were torn off.
The top smashed, and the sides caved
IN.
People who came by shortly after
he accident assisted the young people
% the Uniontown hotel, where their
INJURIES were taken care of by local
physician, and Sunday all were
to their homes in this city.
At time of going to press today.
Hiss Ficke's condition was reported
s much improved.

DELINQUENTS ARE
DEV0TEES OF EASE
NOTED EDUCATOR SAYS TOO
LITTLE SLEEP, TOO MUCH PLAY
AND LEISURE COLLEGE MENACE

Evanston, India. P)-Too little
sleep, too much play, not enough
study, too much leisure; fast eating
and diversified thinking are factors
that devitalize students and are re-
| sponsible for the " delinquent groups :"
found in every university, according
to a report made public by Professor
Delton Thomas Howard of Northwest
tern university.
In Northwestern alone, out of 1885
students in the college of liberal arts,
Professor Howard has found a ode
linquent group of 265 composed of
166 men and SO women. In other
words, he points out, 16 out of every
100 students do not pass But
delinquency does not necessarily i'm
ply lack of intelligence, the profess
sor found.
"No result of our study" the
Northwestern professor writes, els
more significant and interesting than
the discovery that the average intelli-
gence of the so-called delinquent
group is quite as high as that of the
general student body"
Students found to be delinquent are
put on probation at Northwestern and
have to make good or be dropped from
the roster
The probationers," the investi-
gator reports, devote more time, as
a whole, by their own professions, to
athletics, social activities, outside
work, leisure, than do the freshmen;
less time to sleep, campus activities, |
meals. classes and studies'
Among the total group of men in
Is were thought to be han |
dicapped by mental immaturity."
Commenting on this Professor How
ard remarks:
"These are boys who have, for the
most part, been reared under easy cir
and who have never been
required to view life seriously. Such
students have distinctly childish at
titude towards their classroom work,
have no intellectual interests, no defi-
mite ambitions, no sense of RESPONSE
oility. In most of these cases, as
might be expected, high school pre-
paration has been superficial and in
adequate"
Illness, family troubles, and fin
ancial worries are among other causes
eading to students being put on pro-
,ation
Professor Howard drew attention to
the comparatively high percentage
# delinquent students, using his
igures to illustrate the serious situa-
ion in American university life to-

PRESIDENT In LAND
OF THE MIDNIGHT SUN

| Fairbanks, Alaska-(A. P.)-Presi-
dent Harding has reached a point
| further north than any other Ameri-
can president and with his arrival
in Fairbanks he was within $50 miles
of the Arctic circle. His arrival here
marked the end of a two one-half
days ride over the government rail-
road from Seward, and today he be-
gins the trip south over Richardson
trail.
The president told members of his
party before his arrival here that the
rail trip had given him a new vision
Of Alaska and that he had been i'm
pressed not only by the matchless
scenery but by the wonderful possi-
bilities of the great valley region,
heavily forested and covered with lux
uriant vegetation, wild grasses and
brilliant flowers, pink, blue and deep
purple.
Arriving at Cantwell the party left
the train and soon over nearby hill
appeared a herd of 1000 reindeer, a
portion of the 100000 which have
been developed in 25 years by the
bureau of education from the original
imported from Siberia and |
Lapland.

Deary Completes Highway

Highway District No. 8 has COM
pleted its portion of the state road
between Deary and Helmer and some
travel is going over it already. The
work has been slow on account of
frequent rains, which kept the
ground so soft that the heavy machin-
cry could not be used to advantage.
1t will take this year for the road
to pack down, but by fall it ought
to be in first class condition This
gives a practically level road from
Deary to Bovill and beyond.

DAMAGES CROPS OVER LONG
STRETCH SOUTH OF MOSCOW
HIGHWAY DESTROYED

One Of the most severe hail storms
that has ever visited the Palouse
country swept over strip about one
and one-half miles wide and perhaps
20 miles long south and east of Mos
COW Sunday afternoon, doing thous-
ands of dollars worth of damage to
standing grain and to vegetable
gardens.
Moscow people noticed about 1:30,
heavy black cloud swinging around
south of town from the west, and a
couple of hours later word was re-
ceived of the disastrous hail Storm
The storm struck near Uniontown,
and cut through in northwesterly di-
rection to the Moscow mountains, a
distance of about 20 miles, going
through Cornwall, Blaine and the
Thorn Greek district. The estimated
damage to the grain crop in the area
visited by the storm is from 25 to so
per cent. The hail stones ranged
from the size of pea to that of a
bantam egg, and struck with suffic-
lent force to break out the windows
in number of homes.

SEWER SYSTEM
FOR THE FERRY
Moose to Stage 2-Day Harvest Fes-
tival-Heavy Fine for Offender
Other Interesting Items

Engineer J. c. Scharf was in town
to attend an adjourned meeting of
the village board Friday evening of
last week, when he presented maps,
profiles and estimates for the pro-
posed sewer system. A number OF
interested citizens were present at
the meeting to take up with the
board matters of Importance con-
eerning the proposed sewer. 1t was
decided to divide the village into six
districts and further information
was requested of the engineer as to
approximate cost for each district.
This will be presented to the board
at their next meeting. The survey
shows that a saving of considerable
money can be made by making the
outlet to the sewer on Atlantac ave-
nue. into the Snake river instead of
along Canyon creek or on First ave-
nue. to the east. 1t would appear
now that Glenns Ferry is assured a
sewer system in the very near fu-
ture and that the work, if all goes
well, will be started early this fall
after the legal details have been
worked out and the property owners
given an opportunity to protest or
commend the plans as drawn up by
the engineer and village board.

TREASURER BANKS
HAS GOOD RECORD

State Treasurer Dan F. Banks may
take a pardonable pride in the ta-
tistics regarding his Office contained
in the official report of the state aud
itor showing the expenditures Of all
state departments for the first six
months Of the biennium.
The report places the total expen-
ditures Of the state treasurer's Office
for the first quarter to be $6,009.14.
This sum IS the lowest since he has
occupied his Office, each year finding
a substantial reduction in cost to the
people
The total expenditures of this Of
fee for the corresponding period of
the year 1921 were $S,959.7s and for
the year 1922, s6,s51.ss.
The earnings of the Office for the
first quarter were $41,4S6.OS; for
the month of July SS.127.47. and
for August $S,573.0s.

$1S4 Given as Acre Cost for
American Falls Water
DISTRIBUTION COST
OF THIRTY DOLLARS
Mountain Home Men Who Hear the
Report Have Small Cause for
Rejoicing-Salmon PROF
eot to Be Studied

The contingent of Mountain Home
business men who went TO Boise on
Friday of last week to hear the re-
port of Director Weymouth in regard
to the feasibility and cost of ditch
and distribution system to tap the
American Falls reservoir had small
cause for joyful feelings after they
had heard the same.
Mr.. Weymouth's report admitted
the feasibility of the ditch line, but
inasmueh as there would be water
for but 100000 acres instead of the
half million in the tract, the acre
cost would be raised to s1S4, which
Is considered prohibitive.
Mr. Weymouth figured the distri-
button cost as $50 per acre, but en-
gineers present declare that this es-
innate is much too high. They aver
that from $40 to $12 per acre would
take care of this item.
Another item included by Mr..
Weymouth which Is not readily un-
lerstood is maintenance during con-
struction.
General Hays, who has been for
several years working on the Salmon
river project as a source of supply
for the Mountain Home tract, was
present, and told the members of the
Boise Chamber of Commerce and the
Mountain Home men that there was
ample water in the Stanley basin to
take care of the entire tract. and
upon being questioned he stated that
he acre cost would positively not
exceed 500. He asked that the
matter be allowed to lie dormant for
sixty days, when he would probably
have something worth while to Of
fer our people.
Inasmuch as water is what the
Mountain Home-sunnyside people
want, the source Of supply is OF sec
ondary consideration, and Mr.. Hays
will be awaited with in
terest.

WORKING FOR THE
COMMUNITY CHURCH

An informal meeting of commit
tees of several of the church denom-
nations met at the Congregational
church Tuesday night to start nego-
tiations for a community church, in
response to an invitation issued by
the Congregational church inviting
the other denominations to unite
with them in local community
church.
Many phases Of the question were
under consideration and discussed at
length, but no definite action was
taken at this meeting, but the way
was paved for further consideration
of the matter.
It was generally conceded that a
united program in the form of a
community church, under the aus
pices of one of the denominations in
the field was desirable, and the Con-
gregational church as the pioneer
church was commended for the ac-
ton it had taken thus far.
The Baptist church, through its
representatives, spoke in favor Of a
united program of the churches in
the religious activities Of the com
munity, and bespoke the desirability
of the most friendly cooperation Of
the various denominations but stat
ed that after due deliberation their
denomination did not deem the time
ripe for the disbanding of the indi-
vidual churches in favor of one COM
munity church.
It was further stated by the Bap-
list representative that their congre-
CATION had voted TO call a minister
at an early date.
Representatives Of the other
churches present regretted that their
Baptist friends felt that they could
not consider the question further at
this time and expressed the hope that
at some future time they might re-
consider the invitation, and no crit
icism was offered for the position
they had taken in the matter.
Mr.. Braden as chairman Of the
meeting and Rev. G. e. Mason as
minister outlined the workings of
he Congregational form Of church |
government and the work and his
.ory of the local church for the con-
iideration Of the Congregational |
,hurch as a nucleus around which to
work out a strong community organ
cation.
The meeting adjourned at a late
lour and the matter left open for
urther consideration, doubtless at
IN early date.
