When the European war is over
countries over there will do ev-
erything in their power get
back the Industrial supremacy

They will manufacture goods

They will push sales stronger
than ever. America must look
out, or 1t will be shut out of the
worlds markets. sg.
These are the opinions of James
A. Emery, attorney for a national
association to fight labor unions,
who spoke at the Commercial club

Tacoma's new movie ordinance

films depicting lynchings, hang

attention to it.

The law does not tell what
action shall be taken after the
chairman has been notified, and
provides no penalty for violation
of the ordinance.

ADVERTISING

One of the greatest faults of advertis-
ing is the attempt to crowd too much
into a given space. The eye wearies
of fine type. Life is busy, and large
bulk Of closely set matter is repellant.
People will look it over, for they are
keenly interested in advertising. But
they will not read it as carefully as they
would a notice in large type. Too many
details confuse the attention.
A great many firms in advertising a
mark-down sale will specify large
number Of items in every department Of
the store, itemizing each grade of goods
and showing how much the cut is in
each item. This is all right for large
establishment.
The reader wants to know how he can
benefit himself. If he is in hurry he
may only read the headlines Of an adj
vertisement. Unless the headline sug-
gests to him that it will be for his in
terest to read further, he might skip
the whole thing.
A more effective method is to give
an advertisement a heading just as if
ii were a news stOry-as every adver-
tisement should be. The advertiser
should pick out the big central feature
of his message and put that in black
type. The name of the store can be put
in large type at the bottom or otherwise
featured.

ALEXANDER THANKS
GIVING PROCLAMATION

Governor Alexander today issued a
Thanksgiving day proclamation, calling
on residents of Idaho to give thanks on
Thursday, November 25, for the general
prosperity of the country and to cele-
brate that day as one for universal
Thanksgiving. Special attention is call
ed by the governor in his proclamation
to the strife abroad this year.
The proclamation is as follows:
"The lives of her citizens rendered
secure from invasion from abroad and
strife from within; enjoying the mex
pressible benefits of peace at a time
when so many are plunged into the hor-
ors of devastating and cruel war;
blessed with health and freedom from
disease; rewarded with the greatest re-
turns from labor in the field, in the fac
tory,i n business life and in all other
phases of human activity ever vouch-
safed to the citizens of any nation by
an allwise Providence, it is meet that
activities should cease and that the
minds and hearts of every citizen should
turn, for at least one day, in perfect
unison of praise and Thanksgiving to the
God from whom all blessings come and
whose protecting care and wisdom has
enabled the people of this nation to
enjoy so great advantages and bless
ings,
"Therefore, I, M. Alexander, COVER
nor of the State of Idaho, do proclaim
and set aside as a day of holiday, re-
joicing and thanksgiving unto God,
Thursday, November 25, 1915, and l do
urge people everywhere in this great
commonwealth to assemble in places of

WE'D WITHIN CHURCH IS

SALT LAKE, Oct. os.-Young men

the church by the speakers at the gen

Quarterly Conference, which was held
in the assembly hall Sunday afternoon.
The speakers We're Hyrum G. Smith, pre-

prayer was offered by Kasper J. Fetzer
and benediction was said by Sylvester

Mr.. Smith said that he was shocked
to see many of the young people of
the church turning aside and rejecting
the teachings of their fathers and
mothers, while President Penrose said
that in marriage some of the young
people, and the older ones, too, act like

MUCH MONEY LOANED
BY STATE OF IDAHO

BOISE, Ida, Nov. THE State of
Idaho is doing big business in so far
as loaning money is concerned. This is
made apparent from record compiled
from the records yesterday. This year
alone the State, through the land board,
granted applications for loans which
totaled $4O2,27O, and rejected applica-
tions for loans amounting to $107, 500.
1t is business equal to that of the
largest individual banking house in the
State, and is as great as many of the
leading loaning institutions operating
in this part of the country.
The work is done without the expen-
sive aid of experts that private institu-
tons require. All of the business passes
through the land boards hands. The
board is composed of five members, the
governor, who is chairman, attorney
general, auditor, secretary of state and
state superintendent of public instruc-
ton.
Since January l, 1915, total of 303
loans were examined, and the total num-
Der of applications granted during that
period was 23S. No less than sixty five
applications We're rejected. The amount
of loans granted, but for which no call
had been made up to November 4, 1915,
amounted to $4,000.

HOW TO AVOID PNEUMONIA

pneumonia is germ disease and is
usually brought on by the Judgment of
the pneumonococcus germs in the mem
braneous tissues of the throat or lungs
If person is well and strong these
germs are not likely to hurt him seri.
ously. slight cold may be the result
But if he is run down, dissipated, or if
he in any way has weak constitution
his chances are not so slight
1t is not difficult to guard against
pneumonia if one will avoid unreason-
able exposure and at the same time
practice the rules of personal hygiene
or right living.
Working too hard or excessive exer.
else with extreme exposure is common
factor in preparing the way for pneu
monia.
Oyereating, particularly if there is an
excess of meat in tn diet, is another
thing which often Injuries the body and
lowers it's vital resistance to disease.
Alcohol in whisky, patent medicine OF
/ otherwise, is one of the most powerful
allies of the pneumonia germ and even
moderate drinkers show much higher
death rate from this disease than alb
stainers do.
But bad air is of all bad influences
perhaps the most important in it's effect
on colds and pneumonia. People who
live much i'll the open air, who never
| close the windows of their sleeping
rooms in the winter, and who battle
daily, almost never catch colds, or if
ithey do, the colds are light ones and dc
not run into pneumonia

OREGON SUNDAY LAW
HELD TO BE INVALID

PORTLAND, Ore-On the ground
of unconstitutionality the Oregon Sun
day observance law was held invalid
Saturday by Judge c. U. Gantenbein,
in the State circuit court. Judge Gan
tenbein held that the law constituted
religious legislation.
The act was an ancient one, having
been passed by the legislature in 1864.
1t provides that all places of business,
save drug stores, undertaking estab.
llishments and bakeries, should remain
closed on "the Lord S day. This
clause, Judge Gantenbein held, clearly
defined the act as religious legislation.
The law had been considered obsolete
and was not enforced for years past
until recently, when the attorney gem
eral rendered an opinion holding it still
in effect, Notwithstanding it had been
declared of no effect by Judge Ganten-
bein in a previous decision. The retail
Grocers' association of Portland then
undertook to invoke it in closing gro
ceries on Sundays. The present case in
which Dan Kellaher had been arrested
for selling groceries on Sunday, was the
outcome of that movement.

WASHINGTON NEWS LETTER

With the approach Of hostilities look
ing to the political campaign of 1916
comes the diurnal press announcement
that President Wilson is going to ar
rive at definite policy on this or that
matter. So far his trout-line has been
baited with announcements of change
in policy or attitude on woman's suff-
rage, tariff, preparedness, and Mexico.
But the trouble is that he scared out
all the fish during the first year of his
administration. The year 1917 will see
him returning home with the well
known fisherman s luck.
The president will soon have to make
a demonstration which will indicate
something of his attitude toward Mr..
Bryan. The latter, as is well known,
has little use for Roger Sullivan Of
Illinois, who is the Democratic boss in
that state. He is not without his rivals
and they plan to have an anti-Sullivan
ticket for delegates to the Democratic
national convention. These delegates
will be elected in primary and under
"a new law, whereby the candidate whom
they favor for nomination will have to
put his O. X. on the list. Naturally,
both the Sullivan and anti-Sullivan
lists will be presumably in favor of

he give the preference? If he goes with
the Sullivan crowd, he will offend Bryan,

If he goes with the anti-Sullivan crowd
he will lose the sympathy of the con-

cratic machine. If he tries to straddle

SEWER FOR ALL IDAHO

This matter of the pollution of the
water in the Snake river, says State
Sanitary Inspector White, is big
question. AS matter Of fact Snake
river is Idaho's sewer, as everything
from st. Anthony to Lewiston on both
sides Of the river and its tributaries,
goes into this water. Irrigation water
taken from the river is in some in
stances sent out over fortified land as
much as four or five times before it gets
back into the river. This kind of wa
ter, in my opinion, can be nothing short
of the essence of all kinds of pollution
1t is known fact that irrigation
bitches are used by the farmers for
sewers, as well as for other purposes.
| know of many instances where privies
have been built out over these bitches
where stock is allowed free access to
bitches; where hogs use them for wal
lowing places in hot weather; where
barn and stock yards are built ON the
banks so that manure and other re-
fuse can work itself into the bitches
where dead pigs, sacks of dead cats and
kittens, sheep, etc, have been deliber-
ately thrown into these laterals and
waste water bitches.

All Towns Careless

In nearly all of our gowns and cities
located on streams and rivers sewer
empties into them. Livery stables are
built on their banks and the manure
dumped into the water. Good examples
of this may be found at st. Anthony
and Caldwell. The Slick Bros. Construc-
ton company near Glenns Ferry have
their stables and stock yards directly
on the bank of the river There are
any number of these conditions, all ad-
ding their proportion of pollution to the
waters that eventually reach Snake
river, and which is sent out over the
irrigated country for irrigation and do
nestle purposes.
