Budding Genius
The Chemist.
BY II. L. Manning.


Nature had skipped a generation
as she often does and passed the pro-
fession Of his maternal grandfather
along TO the grandson:
The boy arrived at school, carrying
an eight-ounce bottle filled with a
black, mysterious fluid. Curiosity w4s
excited at once: What's in it; moth
in at all; molasses, III bet; no, it's
not, it smells like paregoric; pare
goric me eye, it's castor oil; it's ink ;

ing doing" and George puts it away
in his desk until he can consult with
his eronies at recess.
In q few days an organization al
S-year-olds known as the Scat Biscuit
Corporation. was doing land office
business selling paper stock at cents
par.
Mysterious bottles came and went
from school, all designed By the CON-
pany 20 excite interest, this feature
being supervised by a youth Of ten
who has since grown up and become
head Of bank.
George, however. had deeper pur-
pose and the school gave him access 10
its laboratory and a few harmless
chemicals and there he felt at home.
In school work the boy stood alone /;
he had TO, for no one else was 50
completely dumb to every kind Of rea-
soning. He detested reading AMI
baked at arithmetic until he was
presented with elementary chemistry
books by the school. and in this man
ner was induced to plug along be-
cause he was crazy 10 understand
chemical formulae.
Later George progressed in eyerv-
thing he could apply TO his pet hob
my, but all the kings horses could
not draw him into literature. AC

all the capital stock in soda water.

one according to his view, and the
kings truth is not the truth of the
man in the street; it probably would
not fit into his life at all.
Very unsatisfactory, you say. Yes,
! admit it is. Yet have pondered
= deeply over this question of truth, 81
that it appears and reappears in most
Of my books.
In my most recent one I put these
words into the mouth Of an old queen
talking to young one:
my truth can be of no help to
you. My truth is an old woman's
truth and you are too young to under
stand it. Man must live truth which
builds itself up gradually out of al
that comes to him in life; out Of his
struggles and falls; ont of what he
breaks and mends; finds or loses out
of what he constructs and pulls down;
Que of his dead dreams; his forlorn
hopes; his forsaken GODS
. That is the real truth. I think-the
truth we build up slowly in living.
And each man must find his truth
himself.

Books for Children
By DIR. FRANK CRANE

There is no writer of general pub
lie matter that is not often asked the
question as to what books are suit
able for children of sixteen years of
age and under.
The Bureau Of Education of the
Interior Department Of our govern
ment has issued list which may be
of use to some people.
The list does not contain all Of the
books that children should read be-
fore they are sixteen, but provides
opportunity for boys and girls to
spend their leisure time at home in
delightful company.
The titles of the books are as fol-

sey, \. j.
Many evolutionists would probably
tell you that they are not bound to
answer such a question, or even to
consider it. Their business is with
the physical development of man.
Their science is not concerned with
spiritual man; it deals with the body,
ard not with the SOUL The spirit is
beyond their scope.
They would probably add that they
do not, by any means, deny or contest
the existence Of the soul, but that the
question Of its existence or non-ex.
istence does not affect the results OF
their investigation of the physical ORR
gin and biological development Of the
animal man.
Moreover there are conflicting views

is Of a spiritual and divine nature, a
gift from God to man, and not sub

according to the Cartesian view the
soul is essentially identical with the

If the soul is spiritual and divine,
entirely different in principle from
the body, and continuing to exist indie

SPRINKLING TWICE A
DAY BEST PRACTICE

During the last two years the
poultry department of the University
of Idaho experiment station has been
carrying on investigations to deter
mine the value of sprinkling in con
nection with incubation.
Four different machines of the
same make were used in the exper-
iment. The eggs were weighed in
grams and one egg out Of every four
laid by the individual hens was
placed in each machine, so that each
of the four machines contained eggs
out of the same birds.
Machine did not receive any wa
ter. No. 2 was sprinkled every
morning. No. was sprinkled both
night and morning. No. was
sprinkled morning, noon, and night.

were uniform.

BAND MEETING ON
FRIDAY, JAN. 10Th

Owing to the fact that there were
so few present at the meeting sched-
uled for last week, it has been de-
cided by those fostering the Boys
Band movement to have another meet
ing at the school house, Friday,
January 18th at 1880 in room 10.
The parents of boys are especially
requested to be present as well as the
boys themselves so that they can
talk the matter over with Mr.. Spies.
All who have instruments are re-
quested TO be at the meeting. The
public generally realizes the import
ance of this organization and with
out doubt will respond to the call.
The organization of the boys band
should appeal to every citizen of the
community and to parents particu-
larly as it will prove source of
good clean amusement for the boys
of the town. Remember that the
boys is no better nor no worse than
the community he lives in, he is full
of energy and let's give him something
to do.

ceipts collected from the Boise Ma
tional Forest during the fiscal year
which ended June 80. 1925. Each
year 25 per cent of the money re-
ceived by the National Forests is
turned over to counties in which Ma
tional Forest lands are situated in
lieu OF taxes upon National Forest
lands. According to the law this
money is to be expended for roads
and schools. The sum is not paid by
the Federal Government direct to the
County Treasurer, but to the State,
which subdivides it among the coun-
ties according to the area of Nation
al Forests in each.
This so-called 25 per cent fund
amounts to relatively little in the
case Of the smaller and more thickly
populated counties with high taxable
values In some of the larger coun-
ties with scanty scattered popula-
ton, their share of National Forest
receipts amounts to quite little.
The largest sum received by any
county in the Intermountain Region
goes this year to Elko County, New
ada, which receives $12,463.12. In
south Idaho, Boise county with
$S,369.46 leads while in Utah, Ouch
