FRATERNITY IS
COMPILING WAR
HISTORY OF MEN

The Sigma Alpha Epsilon college
fraternity is compiling a history OF
the part 1t took In the Great War. II
sent 1000 Of its members into the
service and was represented In every
branch, including generals and ad-
mirals and no end of doughboys and
"gobs." Over n hundred and six
ty Of its members are sleeping in
the hills and valleys of France and
our own country. having paid the
full price Of their patriotism. During
the war. 1t found a pledge OF its
University of Nevada chapter flying
at the front and a little group OF
Its members took him into an Ole
French chateau and initiated him
into the fraternity. Later, when the
American army of occupation enter
ed Germany, a young student from
the University of Wisconsin was
found In the little village Of Ander-
mach on the Rhine. The S. A. Els
in that part of the army rallied and,
taking him into 4 gloomy tower in
a fifteenth centui y old castle Of the
historic river, indicted him into the
fraternity. The young fellow was a
corporal, but his initiators were
c.lonels, majors and captains.
The editor of the war history of
Sigma Alpha Epsilon is William c..
Levere, Box 1854, Evanston, Ill. He
has collected over 5000 of the re-
cords of his fraternity. but nearly a
thousand have not been reached.
AID the editor is anxious to discover
members formerly lived here
and Mr.. Levere wants advise on
their present location.

BRIDGES GO OUT
AS RESULT OF
RECENT THAWS

The Highway Department in the
county have beer having consider
able grief the past few days with
oome Of the small bridges on state
highway going out.
The warm weather which hit this
section the latter part of last week
cleared practically all the snow from
the hills and the water which result
cd filled every ravine and creek to
the banks.
Last Sunday afternoon the small
bridge east of Fort STEELE. across the
creek just south OF the railroad
crossing. was almost washed out.
Highway officials arrived just In
time to put in temporary braces and
hold 1t until the next morning. Be-
so many people were fishing
in the Platte Valley section. the
Highway Department did not desire
to let the bridge go until these par
ties had crossed the creek coming
home. Early Monday morning the
work Of putting in a new structure
was started. This bridge was put in
by the Highway Department without
traffic being interfered with to any
extent at all.
Tuesday the bridge on the Lin
coin Highway near Andy Nelson's
ranch at Dana went out and the
Highway Department is now en-
gagged in replacing that structure.
The high water has been subsid-
ing the past couple of days and 1t
is now believed there there will be
but little additional damage to
roads and bridges in this section.
Because of the trouble in every
section of the county. the Highway
Department had a difficult time In
properly dragging and otherwise
å for the roads.

JURY SERVICE FOR
WOMEN SAID TO
BE EDUCATIONAL

CLEVELAND, O,-Jury duty is
an educational experience which
should not be denied any woman, as
they" take their service seriously and
show desire to administer strict JUS
tice," according to Miss Belle Sherwin,
vice president OF the National League
of Women Voters who is arranging
program for the organizations CON
vention at Buffalo, beginning tomorr-
ow.
IF you haven't woman jurors
law in your state, work for one; if
you are entitled to jury duty, ex-
ercise the right" urges Miss Sher-
win. From my own experience on
Jury. service in criminal and civil cas-
es, jury duty is an educational exper-
ience which should not be denied to
any woman.
Il have seen no evidence of un-
due emotionalism one way or the
other, swaying women jurors. The
sensible woman shows precisely the
same desire to unearth the facts that
sensible men do. Neither sex has a
monopoly of the virtue. | do not be-
lieve that men reach decisions only
after due process of reasoning. On
that score | believe women are quite
as well qualified as men to serve.
The women / served with seem
ed to wish above all things to do tn,
fair and just thing to all concerned
The whole question of womens iur,
service is really one step toward uni
versal justice, one of the highest O
American ideals"

Hunters S View OF
Success In Life

Atlanta, Ga.-What is success ir
life?
joel Hunter. business counsellor and
statistician of Atlanta, has answered
the question for the American School
OF Commerce in this city and what he
has had to say is emblazoned on the
records of that institution. Here i.
Mr.. Hunters definition.
The answer to this question should
start with the definition of the word
Success" If we mean riches as expli-
hed by the possession of property
such as land, buildings, stocks and
bonds and money in the bank, then
these may be acquired if we have the
Will to acquire them. And it is, gen.
orally speaking, sign of an individ-
uaPs ability, industry and pertinacity
to acquire property. The man of pro-
perty isgenerally a better citizen than
the man who has lived the better part
+of his life without accumulating some
thing.
1T is also means of power to be
r1ch-to become the better able to be
constructive force in the community
we are encouraged not only by the
Scripture but by every force of pre-
cept and example, to lay in store for
the future, and have great respect
for good, rich man and there are
many of them.
But do riches alone constitute sue
cess? By no manner of means. He
who regards the acquisition of mere
things as mans supreme interest in
life will think in narrow terms. He
who thinks of life in ethical terms will
think of success in ethical terms also.
Service to Others
1--WE know that nine of us liveth to
himself, and none dieth to himself.
The individual can reach the highest
capacity of man only thru society.
Therefore, it would follow that real
success can be accomplished by fitting
ones self to be a better citizen by
educational and other means, to the
end that our lives may serve as an ex-
ample to others to reach higher de-
gree of unse1fsh service-to help 9th
ers who are also striving to do the
same thing, and thus make our COM
munity, our state and our nation bet
ter than they were when we came
here"

MAPS VALUABLE AID
TO CIVILIZATION AND
NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT
Engineering Council Statement Boost
For Highway Maps

That the ration needs speedy COM
pletion of mapping and should have
the funds available, is the statement
made by the American Engineering
Council James Harkness, former
governor of Vermont, president of the
council, is quoted as saying:
In the industrial development of a
country the preparation of adequate
maps is logically the first step. To aid
IN the intelligent building up of our
transportation system, in the develop
ment of superpower plants, in the ex-
tension of irrigation and drainage
projects, an accurate knowledge OF
the configuration of the earth is es-
sential.
This is a question of national inn
portance. 1t must be carried out by
national agencies Two bureaus oil
the Federal Government are now ac-
lively engaged in the work. The
Coast and Geodetic Survey is furnish
ing the precise horizontal and vertical
control for these maps, while the Geo.
logical Survey is doing the detailed
topographic work They are working
in the closest cooperation, so there is
no overlapping or duplication oi
work."

New England Story, To Be Shown
At Grand Theatre

this seasons photoplays is announced
as coming on Monday and Tuesday to
the Grand Theatre 1t is Quincy
Adams Sawyer a Metro-SL picture
based on the famous story of New
England life which was a phenome-
nal "best seller" when it appeared a
decade or so ago. So great was the
printed narrative by Charles FELTON,
Pidgin that it was dramatized and in

elaborate photoplay version is even
more interesting than the book or the
play.
Everybody knows the story of
Quincy Adams Sawyer" Everybody
knows and loves its quaint rustic char
acters. The story of the young lawyer
from Boston, Quincy Adams Sawyer;
his coming to the small town of Ma
sons Corner; his experiences in run
ming down dishonorable scoundrel;
his great love affair-all this is part of
the attractive novel which is now a
screen play. The delightful rural
characters are fun-provoking to the ex-
treme, and the fresh, clean, humor will
appeal to all lovers of better photo
plays.
A lavish production has been given
this famous story. To enact the roles
in the picture, the entire motion pic
ture industry was searched for its best
material AS result, one of the high
est-priced assemblies of talent is seen,
and in the list are players who have
been starred in their own right. Among
the more important are Blanche Sweet,
Lon Clancy, Barbara La Marr, John
Bowers, Elmo Lincoln, Louise Fazen-
da, June Elvidge, Hank Mann, Zazu
Pitts and many others.

TEACH USE OF LIGHT

An educational campaign designed
to give the public better understand
ing of the correct principles of electric
lighting is announced by the National
Electric Light Association.
A special committee, representing
manufacturers of fixtures, lamps, fus-
es, wires and other industrial interests
in the lighting industry, has been form
ed to carry on this work, which will
cover problems of correct illumination
in various branches of industry, the
conservation of eyesight, the lighting
of schools and homes and similar sub
jects.
The movement will be not merely
national, but intensive1y local as we'll,
and full facilities will be provided for
placing at the disposal of the growing
generation the knowledge of home
lighting that will permit the applica-
ton of scientific information in sim
plified common sense form.

THE WEEK
An Industrial, Financial and Agri-
cultural Review
BUILDERS OF CITIES

Growth of city population has been
greatly influenced by the public, utili-
ties and the facility with which utility
service can be procured. In the Uni
ted States there are now 287 cities
each with population of $4,000 or
more. Their combined population is
37,0OO,OOO.
Forty years ago the combined pop
ulation was 100000 and it is interest
ing to note in that connection that for
ty years ago the service of gas, cleo
tricity and street railways was just be-
ginning.
Before the utility service developed
people lived in crowded streets with
houses built as closely together as
possible. Through the services of the
utilities the cities have spread out COW
ering areas and affording better living
conditions.

EDITORIAL

The following editorial appeared
in the Payette Lake Star, of Mccall,
Idaho, under date of March II.
Our waste basket is full of i'm
portunities to join the National High
way Association and boost for paved
highways anywhere and everywhere.
Of course, we've been called all kinds
OF names because we didn't. Down
in Arkansas the other day 500 small
farms were sold at a Federal re-
ceiver's sale to satisfy the tax assess
ments levied to build automobile
highways. That's one reason why we
are not carrying the free cut of the
National Highways Association at
the head of our editorial column.
Automobiles are good-when you can
afford them. Paved highways are
good-when you can afford them. But
to break every small farmer in the
country in order to build a road that
the autoist can go over on high is not
good anywhere, anytime. So we are
not a member of the National High
way Association"
If as is assumed here. the estab-
lishment of national highways would
break every small farmer in the
country" their building would be a
national crime. If, as is assumed
here, the only end and aim of hard
roads was to enable the autoist to
speed, their building would be ar
economic absurdity.
The facts are so we'll known that
they hardly need reiteration, vet i
may serve to emphasize the mistaken
viewpoint quoted above, to say agair
that CD hard roads pay for them
selves in decreased hauling costs O
the farmers who use them. (2) Hare
roads pay for themselves in the in
creased value of land along them
owned largely by the farmers. (3)
The 'autoist" is very often a farmer
The great majority of farmers own
cars, and have more interest in good
roads than either tourists or CITY
dwellers.
1t takes all sorts of people to make
a world, and it wouldn't be nearly so
interesting if they all thought a1ikel
Luckily for the Nation, which is
eventually to have a mileage of good
roads, expressed not in thousands but
in millions, the ideas and standpoint
of the editor of the Payette Lake Star
are not held by the vast majority of
the progressive farmers of the nation.
In their continual approval of bond
issues, their participation in Federal
aid, and their enthusiastic boosting of
good roads everywhere, they are
slowly but surely lifting this great Ma
ton out of the mud and getting for
themselves the transportation which
they must have if they are to get the
best from their farms and from life.
