As the new Bingham high school building la the only one in course of construction at this time, we are led to presume it was the one referred to in this speech, as the million dollar building. This statement, unlike the other can be easily checked In figures and In so doing we find as follows: General contract, 222,800; Plumbing and Heating $50,010; Electrical instal-lation, $8,954. These three amounts equal a sum total of $282,304, Is slightly more than 25 per cent of the amount quoted. "FOB WHICH THERE IS NO NEED" With three thousand children in the part of this district which the new high school building will serve it would seem there is plenty of use for the building especially in view of the fact that Junior high school pupils at Oopperfleld, High-land Boy, Copperton and Lark are held in the grade schools at these places, all of which are overcrowd-ed, and , that. the Senior high school Is so small and overcrowded that part of the classes are held in two other buildings which has long since been condemned as unfit for such purpose. - We have no desire to criticise members of. our lawmaking bodies as we believe them to be sincere and conscientious men and women woh aim to be fair to all, but in this case we are inclined to the opinion that representatives have given a little too much cred-ence to idle talk and political prop aganda which was so freely Indulg-ed in during the recetn campaign. Cutomer : "I would like to pur-chase a birthday present for my wife." Clerk: "Would you be lntrested in something in silk stockings?" Customer: "Well, let's get this resent matter out of the way first" Tommy : "Oh, Just putting a few things away.' . ''' Perhaps Perhaps many more marriage would be successful If we depend-ed a tittle more on science and little less on love. Collier' Weekly. Mom Snare J by Spider .

Wonderful Nimes Bridge Visitors to the city of Nimes In the south of France make It a point to see the Pont du Grad and they are generally directed to make It a point to see the mighty span at twilight Like all great Roman remains it belongs to the twilight The gorge will fold itself into a strange silence and solitude at that hour. Three tiers high the vast bridge seems to kuow that It is one of the greatest stone monuments in the world, a fellow of the Pyramid, or Stonehedge or with the myste-ries of Easter Island. It has a mas-culine beauty. There is nothing delicate about It except the thought that its huge yellow blocks of con-duit stones carried for centuries the silver liquor bt two springs to ihe peoples of Nimes. Beneficent Father Nile When flood conditions are favor-able, ; the retreating waters leave the whole valley' of the Nile cov-ered thickly with black rich mud. No plow Is necessary, as a rule. Seed wheat Is thrown on to the soft mud, trodden or raked in, and the warm tropical sun does the rest for the farmer. The grain grows and matures rapidly, clear from weeds, and easily harvested. Thus Egypt Is free from the men-ace of dry seasons the curse of the East and is, excepting in very rare circumstances, certain to have good crops. "Corn In Egypt," came to have a proverbial meaning through a wide ' section of semi-tropic-country, when there was shortage of wheat elsewhere. t Deed City of Hoorn Hoorn is one of the "dead cities" of' the Zuyder see. All who visit the quaint old place should recall that in 1010, Willem Schouten, one of the greatest of old Dutch navigators, was the first to double Cape Horn, which Is named after his n'atlve town. Hoorn Is a quiet, place and suggests little today of the enter-prising and flourishing port it was in the days of Dutch sea power. The fine old Stadhuls, Its guest houses, churches,' orphanages all seem apparitions from the Seven-teenth century. King's Speech Old Rite The king's speech Is in reality the declaration of the causes of the summons of the British parliament and forms the legal basis for the deliberations of the two houses. It gives in broad outline the legisla-tive program of the session. Orig-inally the king actually delivered his speech in person and parlia-ment could not assemble until the king thought fit to summon It. The "king's sjeech" apparently dates back to the "model parliament" of Edward I, summoned In 1293. "Prosperous" on $100 a Year A prosperous Chinese farmer In the Shanghai region supports a fam-ily of sis on an Income of $100 a year, American money.
