OcCEl.iat-R 2', W- SOME FACTS ALOLT WAT Ell but va- Watcr i.s also The water of the earth may be divided into three parts that Which rc-ots on the surface, that which floats in the atmosphere, that which lies below the surface. The subsurface or ground water occurs largely in the pores or open spaces of rocks, ;;nm of it. is loincd with the mineral matter of the rocks as irr of crystallization" and "water in solid solution perhaps imprisoned di"p in the earth, where no open spaces can ; exist because of the pressure caused by the tremendous weight of the overlying rocks. Ground water is found partly in a zone that jg saturated and partly in an overlying zone where it is suspend-. The water in the zone of saturation is divided into two parts -Lthat which supplies wells and springs "d t,l:lt which will not: floiv out of the ro:-ks even when wells are drilled down to it; and the water held in suspension is divided into three parts that; which lies in the soil within the reach of plants, that which forms! ;t capillary fringe immediately above the zone of saturation, and; that which lies between the soil water and the fringe water. IJuti plants, even when they are desperately thirsty, are not able to j obtain more than a certain part of the water in the soil. Thus, the earth contains water that is available for plant growth and tfuter Ihiit is not available for plant growth. Even that remnant' ftiicli is of no use to plants is divided into two parts that whicii may be removed by evapor; tion and that which is called hygros copic water, which is not removed even when the soil is fully e:;-j posed to the atmosphere for r. long time.

The North Idaho Chamber of Com merce has taken the rij;ht method to ."ecure for Its members constructive! atticn in matters of taxation. The' selection of a board of five members to have charce of measures looking to economy fhould result in more pro gress than if each member chamber was left to work out its own proprnm. A representative group of Investiga tors will gain Information, arrive at points for comparison and, in the end. be able to better advise the taxpay ers how to secure the economies and efficiency which they dn.-ire. Interest of Idaho citizens In tax re duction lias been growing. The last session of the legislature displayed a willingness to trim expenses and the result was a decrease in the state levy which has served as a founda tion fo,- a demand for further re ireiichment.
