Psking Newspaper Has Bean In Ex-
istence for Something More Than
Ten Centuries.

The Oldest newspaper In the world
Is the King-Pau, or capital Sheet"

was printed In the year OIL A. D., but
for many years has been issued only
at irregular intervals. Since 1851,
however, 1t has been published weekly
and In uniform size.
During the present century and per-
haps longer, the paper has been re-

In new form and on new plan.
The King-Pau is printed on yellow

less than cent. Three editions are
printed daily.
All issues Of the King-Pau are edited
by six members of the National Acad-
envy of Sciences. They are appointed

number OF daily copies is from 1900
to $4,000.

The Woman wonders what is the Sc
cret Of laundries being so destructive to
clothes these days-for she knows now
why they were In days gone BY, at
least as far as petticoats were con
cerned.
She was talking to one who had been
a laundress In the good old days, but
who since had gone In for days
work."
Il used ter make good money, too"
the day worker told the woman. Them
were the days Of fluffy petticoats. The
poorer girls couldn't buy 'em and yet
they went to parties and shows, too, SO
l used ter rent 'em out at 80 cents per
night. I'd wash 'em each day. rent EN-
at night, and return 'em to their own
ers every Saturday"
And doubtless the owners of the
nuny petticoats would say:
How careless laundresses are when
they wash F-Chicago Journal.

DRAWN BY MOTHERS COOKING
Georgia Youth Broke Jail to Enjoy
Breakfast and Returned TO
Place Of Punishment.

There's something more than the
proverbial Joke In mothers cooking. 1t
may not be as scientific or as elab-
crate. as Is the product OF cafe hotel
chefs, but there II satisfying char
acter about it to son which cannot
be duplicated, remarks the Atlanta
Georgian.
Over In South Carolina an eighteen
year-old lad was locked up In the
town jail for minor offense. 1t
was probably the first time he had
been thus violently torn from home
and mother-at any rate, when next
morning rolled around he missed the
deleetable breakfast which he had
been accustomed to enjoy under the
parental roof
When In the wash room he managed
to secure two iron bars, which he
concealed until the jailer had gone.
Then he smashed the lock of his cell
and hied himself away for home.
After he had safely put away the
breakfast which mother prepared for
him. he quietly returned to the Jail
and gave himself up.
OF course the lad made himself a
criminal" in the eyes of the law by
breaking jail, especially as he aided
two other prisoners to escape at the
same time. But the fact OF his return
to captivity proved the truth. OF his
assertion that he only craved one OF
mothers breakfasts" Surely a boy
cannot be oil bad when he will dare
so much merely to get one of moth
ers' home-coOked meals

IDAHO ADVOCATES
A GUARANTY LAW
IDAHO SENATE PASSES JOINT
MEMORIAL ASKING FUND
TO PROTECT DEPOSITORS

By unanimous vote the senate
passed senate joint memorial z, vir-
tually recommending a guaranty act
for federal reserve banks. There was
no discussion on the memorial and the
roll call showed 80 ayes and no nays
The measure memorializes congress to
set aside the surplus profits of the fed
eral reserve system into fund to be
used to guarantee the deposits made
by depositors in banks which are men,
bers of the federal reserve system.
The memorial now goes to the house
for action.
By close vote house bill 166, by
Barbee and Reynolds, was killed. This
bill would require every one who kills
beef cattle and sells any of the meat
to secure a license from the county
recorder, and to keep a record of the
brands of the animals for the sheriff.
1t was intended as a protective meas
ure for stockmen, but the objections
raised were that it would be nuisance
and hardship to every farmer who kills
"critter" for family use and supplies
part of the meat to neighbors.
Senate bill n, providing for state
board of forestry and state forester,
was killed by the senate after more
than two hours debate. While there
were only few of the senators spoke
for or against the measure the vote
showed that only 9 favored it's enact
ment into law and % were opposed to
it. The senate also passed the city
coming enabling act and the bill limit
ing the taxing power of municipal cor
porations to 10 mills.
Senate bill 235, considered by many
an entering wedge for future anti
tobacco legislation, was killed in the
lpper house Tuesday afternoon after |

MONEY FOR RECLAMATION

The Idaho auto stage and freight
truck lines will not be operated under
the supervision of the public utilities
commission during the next biennium
for the senate indefinitely postponed
house bill No. III, proposed Thursday
In the house, which would have so pro-
vided. The state affairs committed
recommended that the bill be indef-
initely postponed, and when Senator
Broughton made the motion to carry
the committees report into effect con-
siderable opposition developed from
those who believed the measure was a
good one and should have more mature
consideration.
BY the nearly unanimous vote of 3S
to 2, the senate passed Keith's senate
bill No. 279, which would appropriate
$4,000 for the reclamation of state
lands on the Gem irrigation district.
The senate passed two more of its
own bills Friday morning. No. 259, by
the committee on agriculture, would
allow cooperative marketing assoc
citation to purchase agricultural prod
ucts from nonmembers, while No. 276,
by Haley, creates small claims, de-
partment of justice courts, which
would have jurisdiction of cases up to

CHANGING DEFEAT INTO SUCCESS

We stumble over some of the bes
opportunities right here every day
Most folks are long ON dreams o
doing great things in the future ant
in some distant places.
1t is so easy to excuse ourselves
for accomplishing so little by blam
ing it on local conditions.
How much easier it is to blame
some body else, throw up our hand.
and holler, than it is to meet the
situation with little grit and
gumption and force seeming defeat
into success.
In plain blunt English a number
of ranchmen have told us that for
the past two years the income from
their ranches have barely paid their
taxes and interest aud maintenance
on water. In other words they are
going behind every year
Now it doesn't take much of a
MATHEMATICIAN to figure out how long
a community can exist under condi-
tions like that.
There is some way out and folks
who own land here don't have to
tear up and move somewhere else
to succeed.
Put on your thinking cap and lets
go into the facts little further.
In the first place under average
conditions we are too far from mark
ct to expect to make money raising
hay, spuds, fruit or any other heavy
or bulky products.
In the second placethis is an ideal
hay country both in quality and in
yield; but If it don't pay to raise
hay to ship or cell to sheep feeders,
what are we COINS 10 DO?
Answer: Raise hay and convert it
into something profitable and mar
ketable right on your own land.
Then we must convert our hay in
to some concentrated product for
which there is an unlimited market
where transportation charges do not
consume all the profits.
Fine and dandy, we are on the
right track and will have the right
answer in just a minute
What are we going to turn our
hay into in order to get the profit
able results?
Answer; Turn your hay into milk
and butterfat for which there is an
unlimited market and the surest,
most profitable farm product.
We can have a creamery or cheese
factory right here at home and you
'an get your check once a week.
Pin this in your hat-no dairy
section in the U. S. had any serious
financial trouble when all other
armers went broke.
No rancher around Mountain {
Home who consistently milks as
many as six cows has any complaint
bout not being able to make money
very year /
Next week we will tell you about h
mother money making industry 9
