RUSSIA is .MAKING GOODy

Friends of humanity the world over will take heart
again on reading later reports from Russia 1t is
doubtful if in all history democracy ever sub
jected to such a fiery test is being applied
on the banks of the Neva There is tremendous
fermentation Old landmarks being swept into the
trash pile and new foundations being laid.
In all this upheaval it would be wonderful if there
were not confusion, intrigue treason plot, counter
plot envy jealousy and all the other elements that
go to make up anarchy
But of all the dark picture the great Russian
nation seems stand ready to take her place among
the more advanced nations of the world. Independ-
emily of what effect the outcome have upon the
present world war; the sincere hope of all good
men that Russia may step out into the light Surely
the wretches who make the great bulk of the Rus
sian people have paid an adequate price for this boon
In their centuries slavery misery and oppression
At this distance it seems fitting and proper that
the soldiers workers be fully represented in
the new government. Russia would be poor excuse
for a nation today without soldiers and workers.

Idaho Press Notes
How to Make Wise Purchases.

It is quite a problem for the public
to know where to buy its goods. All
merchants talk plausibly but some ask
higher prices than others. Some are
making constant effort to get good
goods at bargain prices and give the
customers the benefit Others take
what comes along without effort and
trust to the public to accept it with
out question.
How is the average consumer to
know which merchant can serve the
family best? Not everyone can be an
expert judge of the value of fabrics
and foods. Most people have to take
these things somewhat on faith.
The advertising in the home news
paper furnishes the public with the
best guide among the pitfalls of retail
trade. The man who has the enter
prise and ambition enough to adver-
fise, has energy and ambition enough
to make a thorough study of his pro-
duct and to reach out for the best
bargains and supply goods at moder-
ate prices. Also he must have faith
in his goods or he would not spend
money to back them up.-Nampa

STRATEGY OF THE ENEMIES
What Hindenburg Planned to Do and

STRATEGY OF THE ENEMIES
BY PERRY ARNOLD.

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
NEW Notwithstanding aike 145
square miles of French territory re-
gained; more than 10000 prisoners
taken; from $4,000 to 100000 killed
and stoppage of all plans for Ger
man western front offensive have
been the results achieved to date in
the great Franeo-British offensive
The figures are purely estimates.
Neither the allies or Germany have
yet issued casualty lists for this fight
ing. The front is so irregular that
it is difficult to figure out actual acre
age wrested from the invader But
the defeat of Hindenburg's plans for
the summers fighting have been
achieved beyond all doubt.
The strategy of the famous linden
burg retreat was to force the British
and French to make their much adver-
tised spring offensive over ground
chosen by the German commander and
against positions defensively prepared
in advance.

INVESTIGATION OF ADVANCE IN
THE PRICE OF q. S. FLAGS.

The department. of justice, in re-
Spouse to reports from all sections of
the country of sharp advances in the
price of United States flags since the
development of the demand inspired
by the declaration of a state of war,
has begun an investigation to ascer-
tain whether the advances result from
price fixing in violation of the Sher-
man antitrust law. Department Of
ficials say that in some instances, ac-
cording to their reports, flag manufac-
turers have advanced prices a full
100 per cent.
The department is receiving scores
of letters daily calling attention to
acts which, in the opinion of the
writer's, constitute dissertation of the
flag through its use for advertising
purposes. Lack of federal legislation
makes it impossible for the depart
ment to interfere in the majority of
these eases.
While many of the states have en-
acted laws regulating the use of the
flag, the constitutionality of which
has been upheld by the supreme court
of the United States in, the case of
Halter versus Nebraska, the only fed
eral law on the subject is the act of
February 8, 1917, which applies only
to the District of Columbia tt makes
punishable the improper use of the ma
tional colors in the district.
