Reformation Sunday to be Celebrated
Sunday.

Educational, or Reformation Sun
day, will be celebrated in Sunday
Schools Of the Reformed Church
throughout the nation Sunday, with
special services emphasizing the
blessing conferred upon the world by
the Protestant Reformation.
"a campaign has been launched in
the Reformed Churches for Sunday
school extension work, in connection
with which Children's Endowment
Fund of 100000 ~ being raised Old
and young have enlisted in tha CAM
paign, the children collecting dimes
and nickels in their Thanksgiving
boxes, while the adults are pnrchas-
ing fve-dollar participating shares in
the fund.
Many churches will raise 800, $500
OR $500 i'm this manner. Scores Of
Adult Bible Glasses and Sunday
School classes are taking three, i've
and ten shares. The money-raising
win continue until April, when the
Sunday School Increase Campaign
comes to an end
Religious education is the key
note of the campaign. The day il
upon us when we should be pushing
with the utmost vigor the matter OF
week day religious instruction" says
the Reformed Church Messenger,
which devotes an entire number to
the campaign.

not to speak OF the Lutherans and
Episcopalians are aggresSively pro-
noting this enterprise, while the Re-
formed Church one Of the first to

Of new Sunday Schools and support

most inadequate when compared with

PREPARING AGAINST
LOCAL INVASION

This question is now before the
citizens of Bingham county: "HoW
shall we be affected by the I. W. w
tropble?" Perhaps most Of our peo
pie feel secure enough to disregard
the subject, which is the way the ma
ton felt about war while half the
world tore itself into shreds.
Many counties are adopting the
home defense plan. The sheriff ap-
points several hundred deputies
who are unknown to each other, and
upon whom he can call in an emery
ency.
Bisbee, Arizona, cast out 1900 1.
w. VS. by force of arms and 1000
deputized citizens. But the outcasts
will have to go somewhere. Perhaps
they will scatter thru the country.
In north Idaho the same trouble has
been raging. Salt Lake City is a
of I. w. WIS, and has
1 900 deputies to aid the sheriff's
forces.
A threat was made same time ago
by an avowed I. W. w. spokesman
that If the organization did not ac-
complish it's goal, higher pay, there
might not be many crops raised this
year. Bingham county has valuable
crops to protect.

RUMORS OF
PEACE

Rumors of peace send the price of
grain down. They send the hearts
of mothers up, and lend hope to the
strained and stricken Teuton peoples.
All the world would rejoice in peace,
except those few leaders of a lost
cause who would have to speak pub
lie words of humility, and sign agree
ments without pride.
But, as Patrick Henry cried in
heated eloquence before the hesitant
Virginia delegates, "The gentlemen
cry peace, peace but there is no
peace"
We shall always have rumors of
peace. Sometimes they will arrest
our program of preparedness, and
sometimes they will pass unheard.
There will be no peace until certain
large issues that we all know of are
once and for all settled between the
beleaguered Teutons and the world.
At this very time, when panied
cries of dissension come out from
the Austrian capital, when the
Catholic center leaders in the very
reichstag are booming the PROPOSE
IlOu VI podCO WlLuouI AldtCl ldl 6dluo,
Germany is building a new horde Of
airplanes, the eyes of war, which
have proven to be better instruments
of offense and defense than Zeppel-
ms. At the same moment our house
of representatives finally passes the
airplane bill and we are about to
commence building war supply of
them.
The Germans are losing very little
on the west front. In some parts
Of the limo they are even ahead of
the game. 1t is the Austrian army
that the Cossaeks are driving back
in Galicia:
Michaelis this week makes his
maiden speech in the reichstag as
successor to the vaccilating Holl-
veg, unpopular at last with both
sides in German politics. The new
man is expert in large finance.
Perhaps he will renew German ener-
gies with an "Autocracy Loan" or
some other encouraging measure to
balance American preparations.
The only person who can talk
peace now in the world and get any
where is the kaiser himself. The
allies have gone too far towards their i
own stated objects to make contrary
and they are in the ag-
position. II Colt would
only convince the kaiser that it's of
no use trying to swallow the world!

ton hours, and many delightful ex-
