Imprisonment in that institution for the
murder of Estella Albin, her adopted
daughter, in 1914, is among those who

w. Lightbourne, pastor of the'People's
Christian Church, and others. 1t is ex-
pected that the signatures of approx
mately five thousand residents of Della

THE OLD MASTERS.
Paintings Without Signatures An
Judged by Their Teehnic.

1t appears that many of the works
of the old masters are not signed
Experts rarely rely on signatures alone
in determining the authenticity Of an
old work, but trust rather to their
knowledge of the painters techniC,
says the Philadelphia Record.
False signatures can be easily de-
tected- Spirits of wine or turpentine
will usually remove a name Of later
date than the painting. In the course
of time signatures often become very
difficult to find. Painted originally in
a shade slightly lighter than the
ground, perhaps, they sink in, darken.
and merge into the ground color Or
they are almost rubbed away by sue
cessive cleanings. Recognizable one
day in a specially favorable light, they
may not be visible again for weeks.
Experts speak of "will-o'-the-wisp'
signatures, and many collectors have
encountered accidental strokes and
cracks that tantalizingly suggest sig
nature, though it can never be made
definite. On the other hand. there have
been remarkable cases Of such marks

The world offers abundant evidence
of the truth that community is but
the mirror or reflection of the char
acter of its people The citizen who
would deny his community the fin
ancial support it must have in order
to be beautiful as well as useful, must
plead guilty to lack of appreciation
of the utility of beauty. He who will
litter its streets and highways with
waste and rubbish tacitly admits an
encouragement of disorder and untidi-
ness
The slogan adopted by many COM

might well be amended to read:
Help make our communit. clean,
orderly and beautiful" for as men be-
come wiser and more cultivated they
place higher values upon beauty and
orderllness. The person who throws
refuse or rubbish in his city's streets
or who With pencil or match or 9TH

Twin Falls is certainly entitled to
better telephone service for the price
charged the consumers here. Under
the present condition it is easier to
walk three or four blocks than to try
to talk over the telephone Twin Falls

receive reasonably rapid connection
with outside points, but within the

No. Our BRIGHT FUTURE

America faces a future that is
simply amazing in its POSSIBLE
tiles. If every American from
this time on practices economy
and saves money, this nation must
become the dominating financial
power lof the world, and will
soon enter upon it's greatest per-

Not in a hundred years has the sun
of New Years Day shone on such
scenes of sorrow and desolation as
Europe presents at this time.
But never has year been ushered
in more auspiciously for the future
prosperity and happiness of the neo-
pie of the United States of America
Ought we not to rejoice, one and all
that our lot is cast in such a land Us
this and do all in. our power to keep
our country prosperous and at peace
with the world? --
The principal job ahead of the peo-
pie of the United States just now is to
save. money, as has been very truly
said. For 125 years we have borrowed
money from Europe. We can't do so
any longer. Europe isn't going to
have any money to lend. When we
wanted to build the Rock Island Rail-
road We borrowed money from Hol-
land. When we wanted to develop
the Anaconda mine we borrowed mon
ey from the same place. When we
wanted to improve the st. Louis and
San Francisco we borrowed money
from France. For other railroads and
other improvements we borrowed from
England and Germany. For the fu-
ture," says Golfers Weekly, "if we
want to build more railroads or cleo
tric plants, or develop more mines,
we must supply the money from our
own pockets--or go without. The one
great necessity put upon us by the
war, the biggest economic need in
America today, is to save money.
Some of our largest employers are
realizing this and urging upon their
employees. Just before Christmas every
one of 700 men whose business it is
to assist in the actual making OF flour
at one of the big mills in Minneapolis,
received in his pay check gift of
$25. 1t is part of the Minneapolis
company's proflt-sharing scheme. The
only string" tied to the gift is that the
employees must open savings account

discussing the question in detail in the
Berlin vossische Zeitung, says:
Regarding it strictly in the light of

but if one inquiries, on the basis of

The Paris Temps makes the novel
suggestion that the Dacia incident was
arranged by German-American as
IAN attempt to put Anglo-American
relations to new test; while the
Journal DIES Debats is frankly indig-
nant and says roundly:
1.-THE infringement of nuetrality is
clear, even should the ship purchased

IT, after this real or fictitious trans
fer, the ship were used to convey sup

formerly belonged, then the infringe

very sensible statement comes
from the London Daily News, which,
in the course of approving remarks ON
Mr. Bryan's recent defense of our neu-
trality, warns its contemporaries that
nagging the United States is danger

1T is to be hoped that Secretary
Bryan's letter will have a salutary eff

rected attention to the mischievous

United States which is carried on here
in a section of the press. A peculiar
ly deplorable example of this appear
ed in The Spectator on Saturday last.
That journal has been notorious for
| its persistent depreciation of Presi-
dent Wilson's administration, and in
connection with the incident of the

the bitterest feelings in America.
There are incendiary journals
there as well as here, and attempts in
this country to dictate to the United
States as though it were some under

to fan the flame of anti-British senti-

deceive ourselves; it is with us be-
