How To Use The

Did it ever occur to you that YOU
might not be using the telephone in the
right way?
Do you speak sideways, above, De-
low, or six inches away from the trcns-

You should talk directly into the

lips about one inch from the mouthpece.
Speak in an even tone. It is not ncces.

THANKSGIVING GAME
HERE WITH JEROME

The Twin Falls high school second
eleven will meet the Jerome high
school eleven Thanksgiving day on
the Lincoln field The Twin Falls
first eleven succeeded in defeating the
Jerome team early in the season by
quite decisive score. The Jerome boys
we're much outweighed in this game,
but they put up a stiff, scrappy tight
throughout the entire game. The Je-
rome team is considered the equal of
the Rupert and Burley teams, and it
remains to be seen if the second elev-
en- can cope with so formidable an
adversary.
The second eleven has defeated Ru-
pert high school 1913 this season, and
has even scored on the varsity eleven
in practice. Some of the men on the
secon team are showing varsity cali
Der that will place them in line for
first team positions next year This
game will close a very successful
season for the Twin Falls high school
football squad a good game is prom
ised and everyone should celebrate
their Thanksgiving day by attending
the game in the afternoon.

F A r M BUREAU MAN DE-
CLARES THAT MEETING
DOORS WERE AJAR
Were of District Chair
men Only
Others Could Come in and Look
on - Says Gatherings Were
More Representative Than Pre-
Election Meetings Formerly.

"I am sure l do not know how the
stockholders of the canal company are
going to vote" said Secretary w. f.
Edwards of the Twin Falls County
Farm Bureau yesterday. "The matter
of candidates has been discussed and
men from the different sections of
the county, whom we believe to be
good men have been suggested to the
stockholders, but 1 do not know what
they will do when they get in here.
This talk about meeting behind
closed doors which is going the
rounds is all nonsense. Our proceed
ings have been free as the air The
doors have been open at all times. 1t
is true that only meetings of the farm
bureau chairmen have been called, as
there was no mass meeting of the
stockholders, or of the bureau brought
together, but anyone who wanted to
do so could come in and see what was
going on. There were half dozen
people here while we were discus
sing things. Only district chairmen
were supposed to take part, since that
was the sort of meeting which was
called. The meeting was more rep
resentative than any held in previous
years before any meeting of stock
holders. Previously, when a man
from the country was named, he was
put up by a few friends in his OWL
neighborhood. The man from Han
sen often did not know the man from
Buhl. This time men from all part.
of the tract met and talked over mat
ters together. If anybody is meeting
behind closed doors, it is the othei
fellow. AS far as our old friend Cron
head of the other move, is concerned
meetings were called for his schoo
! house. We do not invite the member
ship from here. The district chair
man does not. Mr.. Crom was not a
any of the meetings in his own dis
trict"
$50 it is liable to be warm De

of the bureau. who was engaged 9th
erwise at the time, but turned lon
enough to make reference to TIME

Salmon Acreage
Being Reduced
The Representation of the State Land
Board Now Engaged In Selecting
Acres For Elimination.

For a week last past, the state land
examiner and appraiser, Mr.. Griffin,
has been engaged in a careful exami-
nation of the Salmon tract for the pur-
pose of deciding what lands shall be
cut out in order to make the reduc-
ton to $4,000 acres decided upon by
the board pursuant to recommends
ton of the United States land COM
missioner. AS there are something
over fifteen thousand acres to be cut
out, the task is a large and by no
means a pleasant one. In fact, the
gentleman to whom it has been dele
gated declares it the most unwelcome
and unpleasant duty of his life.
In making these selections for eX-
clusion, the settlers we're given an
opportunity to be represented by
some one chosen by themselves, as
also were the bondholders. The for
mer held a meeting at Hollister to
consider that matter and declined to
be represented, as did also the bond
holders. 1t is probable that neither
of them cared to participate in mat
ter in which subsequent litigation
concerning their respective rights
might possibly arise.

Come to Rescue
Roman Troops of General Diaz
Strike Back at All Points Max
ing Furious Counter Attacks on
the Huns.

WASHINGTON, Nov 27.-From the |
Asiago to the Piave the AustrO-Ger- |
mans have suffered appalling losses
without gaining any advantage accord
ing to an official cableGram from
Rome today. Between the Piave and
the Brenta the enemy has already
worn out six divisions, these dis
patches to the embassy say.
The cablegrRm quotes the Rome
Tribune's correspondent as saying the
forces of Krobatin and Won Bulow,
united in the mountainous zone below
the Piave and Brenta rivers, made
desperate effort to break through the
line, availing themselves OF their enor-
nous reserves, estimated at twenty dl-
visions and easily shifted. With large
forces hidden in the thickness of the
forests, at one point small patrol
of Prussians with machine guns was
sent forward to gather information
and prepare the attack. Shortly after
the Austro-Germans appeared in thick
waves and delivered furious assault
Wishing to avenge the Woundlng OF
one of their officers the Italians
launched a bayonet attack with such
violence that all the Austro-Germans
who reached the Italian line were COM
pIetely wiped out. The enemy renew
ed his efforts and delivered attack at-
ter attack with unabated fury.
During the confusion of the strug-
gle some enemy outposts fought

Advices from the front today told OF

The formidable Austro-German at
tacks between the Piave and Brenta
valleys have continued with the leu
tons maneuvering to deliver crown
ing blow, but so far the gallant re
sistance of the Italians has frustrated
y all German plans.
General Diaz troops are striking
back all along the line and are de
Iivering strokes just as violent as
those of the Austro-Germans.
There is heavy fighting arounC
Monte Tomba, which is regarded as {
critical point. The Germans, early II
their drive made a slight gain, bu
since then they have been held on tn
slopes by the Italians.
If the Germans and Austro-Hungar

 war, to come into Uncle Sans great

 The majority of the petitioners
 showed that they had studiously en- citizenship, and English spoken with the tang of many different tongues only added to the earnestness mani fested by all who were heard. The fact that one petitioner declared "Hol- comb" to be the capital of Connecti- cut and that another made George Washington a commander in the Civil war did not materially detract from the geherally satisfactory way in which the men had faniliarized them selves with things that it is neces- sarv to know before citizenship hon.
