(Statesman, Boise) A committee of Latah county zens has been digging into the cause of high taxes locally. Tlie other day it made a report in which it stated: "The great increase in the amount of taxes collected during the past sev eral years Is due largely to tlie ever increasing amounts being voted by road and school districts, and cilles and villages. Tlie great increase can be attributed largely to our own in itiative rather than to the county of citi fleer." This is a condition to which we have repeatedly called attention, and which has been construed by those interested in further fooling the tax the interest of the Tax in payer eater as "an effort to place all the blame on the people." As a beggar of the question that statement Is in There Is some blame attach rags. able to the people. They permit, sometimes compel, innumerable leaks that drain the barrel. The question of the cost of ernment is personal. We cannot shrug our shoulders and point to . other- tellow in every Instance. many cases we can see the guilty party by consulting the mirror. We become careless. We allow lew mills here and a few there cause they are small in themselves, , ... , , , but, added to what we have, become a burden after while.

Mrs. mothers of these 90 rollicking, happy youngsters have come to realize that when their sons grow to manhood, they the Thomas Arnold public school. Watching the boys on their way to school, with their lunch, boxes under their sturdy arms, gave Mrs. Crary her idea. She thought how much tas tier and more healthful a hot lunch would be for them. Then she formu lated her plan and took it to the teach ers and to members of the board of education. 'Fine; the very thing; be gin right away," was the comment of everyone she spoke to. Ont of money the boys got through sale of their work at the manual training classes, they laid in a supply of provisions and Mrs. Crary cooked the lunches. From that it was an easy and logical step to teaching the boys to do the cooking themselves. Now hot noon-day meals are cooked for the boys and the teach ers. Sometimes the main article is veg etable soil]); sometimes it is a nourish ing stew; always there is a dessert pudding to top off with, or baked apple. Six boys, selected by themselves are in charge of the cooking each week. They have come to be mighty proud of thir accomplishments in the cluinary art, and there is quite a bit of friendly rivalry over the abilities of these cook boys. The six who do the cooking, also do the dish washing. Once a week, the floor is scrubbed and the dish-towels boiled. The boys take their regular turns doing this work. They have come to realize the value of a good house keeper, and they are putting their knowledge into practice in their homes, much to the delight of their mothers and sisters. "Mothering" has always been ray specialty," said Mrs. Crary today. She has four boys of her own. "My 90 hoys have learned quickly, and they will re member what they have learned. Some of my hoys were a little slack in table manners .and cleanliness. Some of them preferred to sit down at table without 'cleaning up.' This is all changed now. There is as much rival ry in table manners and cleanliness now as there is over the abilities of each as a cook. They all call me 'mo ther.' and I try to live up to the name. Now that we have grown dear to each other, they come to me on Saturdays and after school is out. They give me their confidences and I advise them frequently. Many times, when diffi culties arise, they make me their Judge; sometimes it is hard to decide case and settle it absolutely on its merits, hut there has never been an appeal." Of course there are times when the boys are not angels. On such occasions Mrs. Crary goes on the theory tb.-ii* "putting your arms around a biy and loving him does more good than a whipping." Next summer Mrs. Crary will teach the boys gardening. She is chairman of the Minneapolis Improve a ment league. The board of education is so pleased with "Mother" Crary 's work with her 90 boys that they are considering supplying a row rang - and new kitchen utensils Set her kitchen. Notice of Attachment.

"Jimmie" Duke's Now Home. While Americans in Berlin are still discussing the glories of Ambassador Gerard's magnificent new home in the Wilhelm Platz, their compatriots London are looking forward to the opening of Crewe House, recently rent ed by James B. Duke, the tobacco mul timillionaire. Crewe House is one the few detached residences in Mayfair, London's most fashionable district. largo garden surrounds the mansion, which contains thirty apartments, the principal reception room being on the ground floor. There is a magnificent new dining room which can he cleared for dancing and society expects "tango" in Crewe House frequently during the season. Kaiser not Discouraged. Kaiser Wilhelm of Germany is not the least bit discouraged because of the serious mishaps that have overtaken the Zeppelin airships. As a proof that His Majesty continues to give his con fidence to Zeppelin's dirigibles, a small army of engineers and workmen has been busy at Priedrichsaven for the past few weeks building five new air ships of various sixes and shapes, all to be ready by April. Two are for the German army and two for the navy, while the fifth is for passenger service on Lake Constance. Telephone Reforms. Pending the introduction of other tel ephone reforms In Paris, it is pro posed to substitute "Allo'ïor the term "Voila.". The history of "Alio" is quite inter esting. It is usually supposed to be a French version of "Hallo,' but like many other popular etymologies, that is incorrect. When the first Bell tele phone was introduced into France in 1880, the postal authorities made a number <jf experiments regarding the moat suitable phrase to use in making calls. At- first the recognized formula was "Allens," a colloquialism which, when properly accentuated, is equiva lent to "Hurry up. there." But it was found to be far from perfect, and so it was shortened into "Alio." a term which spread to Belgium and other European countries. Plan Huge Bore.
