ANOTHER SCHOOL
HOUSE FIRE

Fire broke out on silver's school
house roof this morning. The people
Of the town, both men and women
promptly responded with chemicals,
buckets and ladders Cthe latter of no
possible use) and soon had the blaze
extinguished, the fight being made
from the bell tower.
This was the second fire of the
present term and was an exact rep
lea of the first, being in the same
place from the same sparks
on the tinder-like shingles, and both
were discovered by Mrs. Allie Harris.
Several feet of the roof is gone
and at least this should be replaced
at once with less infammable ma
terial. An entire new roof is need
ed, and there should be a good chem
ical apparatus kept in the building.

We have several things to be
proud Of here, the best soil and eli
mate in Idaho for instance. But
this may be disputed just as some OF
the people Of California claim that
they have a better state, climate and
a number Of other things than we Of
Idaho have. We are always sorry for
them but they do not know any bet
ter. But here is a record that is Of
fered for comparison with other Sun
day Schools. Prizes have been
awarded for perfect attendance as
follows: Geraldine Wegman and
Willard Foreman, one year; Floyd
Chamberlain, Norman Chamberlain,
Donald Ertz, Elaine Whitson, Tias
Spang. each two years; Worth Forch-
er and Dorothy Matthews, each three
years; Elmer Nelson, Ruth Spang,
Ruby spang, each four years; Emma
Mathews and Evelyn Mathews, each
five years. In a small school where
the average attendance is only a lit
tie over 83 and the largest in the
year 95 we believe such a record is
hard to beat
Senator Hinton has taken over the
stock Of A. r. Mcintyre and Mr.. Nc
Intyre has gone to Portland. Herb

We learn Of several cases Of flu OIL

most OF them are nearly recovered
and no new ones have come to light

1t is easy to get others to share
our prosperity, next to impossible to
get them to share our adversely, it
has been written.
Putting it another way, the clean
house is more inviting than one clut-
tered up and given to chickering's.
Still another slant of the situation
is that any state desiring more pop
ulation and more Investment makes
its strongest advertising bid the fact
that it is healthful, clean, advancing,
contented
All the advertising plans Idaho
might adopt will fail unless behind
them, emblazoned convincingly
stands: "Alls Well.'
When those on the ground are do
ing well, others will be glad to come.
When investors in this state are
showing a reasonable profit, other
investors will come. All the adver-
Using we could afford to put out
will fail dismally in results unless
we can make such a showing
The easiest, the most economical
the most effective thing we can pos
sibly do right now in Idaho is to
clean the house OF growlerism, Of
agitation, of community and section
al strife and adorn the place with
cooperation, state spirit and peace
full progress. We know that funda-
mentally "all's well' in Idaho. The
outsider judges US, however, from
evidence of action rather than of
acclaim.

WHEAT TREATMENTS
FOR SMUT CONTROL

One Of the best methods to control
smut in wheat is to treat each bush
el Of seed wheat with 2 ounces of
Copper carbonate dust which can be
secured at the Drug Store. The ad-
vantages Of this treatment over the
wet treatments are, that less seed
can be sown owing to the fact that
it stimulates termination instead Of
injurlng the seed. 1t is generally
conceded that per cent less seed
can be used when the dry treatment
is used With the dry treatment
there is no swelling Of the seed and
consequently no trouble in setting
the drill to sow the right amount per
acre. The. treatment can be used at
any time and win not injure the
seed even If stored for months before
seeding.
A home made treating machine
can be built out of a barrel, by put
ting a shaft through it so that it can
be revolved, a tight door should be
constructed on one side or end. The
wheat and Copper carbonate dust
can be well mixed in such a ma

CREDIT ADS. AND COMMON
SENSE

j. f. Greenawalt, newspaper man
of Colorado, well known in Idaho.
said at the recent convention in
Pueblo of the Associated Advertising
clubs of the World: advertising has
increased the volume of utility bus
mess, thus stabilizing rates. News
paper advertising is one of the rea-
sons why the cost of public utility
ervice has remained on level while
so many other things have aero
planned"
Clothing, furniture, "eats," and
other things cost on an average SIS
per cent more than they did, due to
Increased cost of production. The
utilities take but per cent OF the
family income, average. That service
stands alone in bearing the old cost
tag. Public utilities have absorbed
the increased cost of production by
constantly increasing their efficiency.
Now comes the gentleman from Col
orado, head of the advertising end of
an important utility, giving frank
credit to advertising as among the
prime reasons why the public utility
charges are not, like others, double
and treble pre-war costs
Rigid business METHODS must, Of
course, be recognized as a factor; and
right the question arises, why, in
view of al lthese considerations, is
these still sporadic agitation in favor
of government ownership of utili-
ties?"
1t has been repeatedly shown that
internationally changed and un-
trained men in office cannot handle
these monumental tasks as efficient
ly, as cheaply, as private organize
lions acting under governmental
authority and control It is admit
ted, for example, that it costs New
York city cents to carry passen-
ger on its city-owned elevated line.
The fare is 5 cents. Many like ex-
amples could be given. The losses
arising from municipal ownership
can be covered up through drafts up
on the tax purse, but the people must
pay the losses: also suffer poor serv-
ice born of political changes and in
competency.
W. r. Hopkins, city manager Of
Cleveland, in a recent statement OPP
posing tic yownership as makeshift
lowering the standard of efficiency
increasing costs and further demor-
alizing governmental management, /
said: I'VE should improve our per-
Torrance of the work governments
alone can do before we invade the
field of private business in order to 4
add to the list of things poorly
done"
When government ownership is
proposed to Idaho folks they should
closely study the proposal as to costs,
service and management. J

RED CROSS kULL CALL UNDER
WAY.

The Farmers and Merchants De-
post Company and the jefferson
Pharmacy. in Charles Town, have
been appointed booths for the eeun-
ty enrolment of the Red Cross.
These booths were created especial
~ that those people from the outly-
ing districts of the county that have
not been reached by the eanvassers
from the towns may have a place to
enroll in the organization. 1t is
earnestly hoped that many will avail
themselves of this opportunity to
contribute to an organization that
does the amount of good in the coun-
ty as the local chapter of the Red
Cross. Besides maintaining a COM
munity building in Charles Town,
and person to STAY there. the or
ganization supports a nurse for the
general community, Miss Elizabeth
Hall. to whom much credit belongs
for her faithful service in devoting
her entire time to the unselfish task
Of aiding the needy and sick poor of
the town. The Red Cross also sup
ports two children in a sanitorium
for the tubercular. and last year
alone distributed several hundreds of
garments to the poor of the county
If the subscriptions raised this year
by the canvassers do not total suffic-
lent funds for the carrying on Of
this work. much of the present good
being done will of necessity be dis
continued.
1t was pointed cut by the local or
ganization that the distribution of
funds raised in the county was not
always Understood. While fifty cents
of every dollar contribution given
goes to the national organization. if
the contribution totals more than one
dollar no more than fifty cents is
forwarded to Washington In other
words but one half dollar of every
contribution goes to the national
work while the rest remains in JEFF
ferson county. People. therefore.
wishing to help especially the work
of the local Red Cross can contribute
as much as they wish.
Another supply of window cards
have been ordered, and anyone wish
ings one please notify Mrs. f. B.
Hooff. chairman.

old homes formerly owned by the
Washington family, the scene of the
famous John Brown raid at Harpers
Ferry, and a general history of the
