STOCK MARKET

New York, Nov. 22-Opening: Sell ing of speculative issues, mainly mo- tors and coppers was resumed at the active opening of today's stock market but this was more than balanced by broad demand for representative shares. Losses of one to two points in Studebaker, Distillers and obscure specialties were balanced by gains of one to five points in oils, Southern Pacific, Reading, Bethlehem and Cru cible Steels and Marine preferred. U. S. Steel rose a substantial fraction and the leather issr'es were decidedly strong. Hide and Leather preferred advanced four points.
 Three stocks, namely United States Steel, Southern Pacific and Mexican Petroleum, furnished one-quarter Of the first hours moderately large deal ings in which initial gains were gen. orally enhanced. There was cQpsid- erable short covering in some of the rails and other active issues recently under bearish pressure.
 Conditions changed very abruptly later, the entire list giving way and leaving little or nothing of the early advance. Rails, industrials and met als reacted one to two points, Mexican Petroleum four and utilities and mis- cellaneous issues 1 to lag, but ship pings held steady, with a brisk rally in General Motors

BLOTJSES.

A decade or moro ago there was craze with certain select commit nity who vied the one with the other over furnishing schemes for crochet done in ftcelle colored cotton that very closely resembled Venetian point lace, and the then adopts are now doubtless soaring ahead with similar work in colored silk and cotton for the adorning of their bfouses and jumpers.
 Ten or 12 large squares, for exam pie, can be safely worked and held in hand until the psychological moment arrives for their disposal on one or other of these garments.
 Corbleu blue charmeuse Is the fa- brio visioned for this confection, inset with crochet plaques of emerald green silk and hand worked open stitch to match. Ten plaQues in all are used. three in front and back, respectively one on the slit-up sides and one on either sleeve, The halter collar is of cream Georgette.
 | Beads, as was only tD be expected, have invaded the realms of blouses and provide a finely decorative me
 dunn, both in the close sampler broid- cries or in the form of larger beats, used in serried lines. In this case jade beads find a. telling background
 in cream Ge'orgette, the cape mouve-
 ment which is the distinctive feature
 of the model, having a picot edge of
 green. A model more or less on these Hines was seen in navy blue with am Iber beads, while another of rose color
 showed up effectively, trimmed with
 white opaque beads.
 Those who have a penchant for lmore demure st.Fles are earnestly ad- vised to consi7er the claims of some
 bold colored, boldly striped silks used . in the guise of long roll-over lapels , These work a decorative miracle on e
 sombre- -hued crepe de chine blouse . The more brilliantly eastern these , silks are the better, and in the matter
 of design nothing comes amiss, whilt a vivid orange is above all desirable
 as the leading color motif.
 Drstwhile scoffers of the creche
 hook are nowadays feveriShly enlist ing the aid of that small instrument and are lost to the world counting stitches, circles, loops and those won derfully clever raised petal effects.

of Commodore Togert. After her came four others of the same typey the DerfflInger, von der Tam, Him denburg and Moltke.
 Immediately following them were nine dreadnaughts, the Friederich der. Crosse, flagship of Rear Admiral von Reuter- ;the Koenig Albert, Kaiser, Kronprinz Wilhelrn, Kaiserin, Bayern MarI1graf, Prinz-regent Luitpold and the Grosser Kurfuerst.
 Three miles astern of the battle ships came. seven light cruisers, the Karlsruhe, bearing the ensign Of Commodore Harder; the Frankfort, Emden, Burnberg, Drummer, Coln and Bremen.
 Then came another gap of three miles and German destroyers came steaming in, five columns abreast, with ten destroyers to a column.
 Six miles separated the allied col umns, and squarely between them the Cardiff brought her charges, all steaning at the stipulated speed Of ten knots. AS ordered, their guns were in regular fore and aft positions and powerful glasses showed that there was no sign to provoke opposi- tion.
 Until the German ships had been swallowed up in the enveloping al lied columns the latter never relax l ed their alert watch.

THE INVENTION OF WRITING.

The invention of writing alone made possible the passage from bar barism to civilization, and secured the continuous progress of the human race. It is solely through the mar vicious perfecting, through stages of slow advance, of a scripture that cannot be broken" that the past is as eloquent, as real, as the present. The pen is mightier than the sword" in accommodating and preserving for both gentle and simple the store of the worlds intellectual wealth, unto which "all the things that can be desired are not to be compared" writes Edward Clodd in "The Story of the Alphabet"
 These reflections are commonplace enough, but they may not be wholly needless, and an example or two of the impression made, on the barbaric mind by written symbols may help us the better to appreciate what our 1 case would be without them. In the | narrative of his adventure in the | Tonga Islands, published about ninety years ago, William Mariner tells how ] anxiety to escape from the place I where, on the wreck of the ship Port
 au Piince, he and some other English l men had been cast ashore, led him | to write, by means of a solution of | gunpowder and a little mucilage for | ink, a letter which he intrusted to | friendly native to give to the captain l of any vessel that might happen to l touch at Tonga. Ffnow, the king,
 came to hear of this, and got hold of
 the letter. But he could make
 neither head nor tail of it'' How
 ever one of Mariners ship
 mates was made to interpret the
 mystic signs to F'inow, who still pug
 zled, sent for Mariner and ordered
 him to write down something else,
 saying, when Mariner asked for a subject, Put down me-"
 This done, Finow sent for another
 sailor, who read the royal nan aloud
 Whereupon the King appeared more
 bewildered than ever, exclaiming This is, not like me; where are my iegs?" Then it slowly dawned upon
 him that 1t was possible to make , signs of things which both the writer and the interpreter had seen. But the bewilderment returned when Mariner told him that he could write down a description of anyone whom
 he had never seen, or of an even which happened long ago or far away
 when these were told him. There
 upon Ffnow whispered to him the name of Tongoo Aho, a former kihe !, of Tonga. When Mariner se

ANALYSIS OF AN EDITORS DUTY
How to Make Newspaper Clean, Strong
and Effective.

The press is getting to be more
and more relied upon by the public,
and since it has to do with so many
of peoples every day affairs, there
should be general understanding
of it's rights, duties and sphere Of
usefulness. 1t is not enough for a
person here and there to have a
correct understanding of such pow
erful agency that is in every home;
every person should be informed on
the matter, and these pages are
published to bring about better
understanding of the subject by all
the people of Bingham county. The
following article, written by New
York man gives his views of the
duties of an editor of city paper
that does its part by the public.
OF the twenty-six statements in
the article, the editor of the Idaho
Republican approves them all but
four that are marked with the star.
They are probably correct form for
a city paper, but not for county
paper in new state. The people
of Bingham county are invited to
study it from day to day and see
what they think of it when applied
to their own county affairs. Write
us letter about it.

$4,000 and an operating expense of
about 5000 a month.
In order to double the service and
produce another eight-page paper
each week, the Tuesday paper, and
get it working by standard system
we had only to increase the invest
ment to about $4,000, and increase
the maintenance to about $500.
Notice that we doubled the service
to you without having to double the
cost of producing it. 1t did not in
crease the cost of heat, taxes, water,
insurance or janitor work, and it did
not add much to our investment nor
to the cost of light, taxes and book
keeping, and it did not double the
expense for labor.
We can start another eight-page
weekly, wednesday, and it will
only be necessary to increase the in
vestment to about $4,000. It will
not be necessary to increase the cost
Of heat, taxes, insurance and water.
1t will not add much to the cost of
lights, taxes and bookkeeping, but
1t will increase the cost Of labor,

postage, paper, power and few
other items. So you see, folks, we
can send you three papers week
and improve each of them over the
present output, and make the total
cost lower in proportion. Under
those conditions you would receive
papers on Tuesday, Thursday and
Saturday, printed the afternoon be-
fore.
The next stage in the development
of the newspaper would be to get
the working force so we'll organized
and trained, that the paper would
not hold all the news and other mat
ter they prepared for publication,
and we should have to put in supple
ments at times. That is inconven-
lent and expensive, and whenever
you see our paper carrying supple
ments, it is a sign that we are getting
ready to start an additional weekly
to come out somewhere between the
others. This is the dullest part Of
the season, and we are carrying sup
| plements part of the time, so what
do you suppose we are expecting
to do when the fall trade begins?
| We will shut off the supplements
and make them into a separate
weekly isue to come out between the
present dates of issue and you will
call it tri-wekly. We have had too
much help in the office all summer,
but we are training them for the
larger work ahead. If your sub
scription is paid for year or so in
advance. it looks as if you would re-
ceive tri-weekly for the price Of a
semi-weekly, and we are glad to de-
liver more than you expected.
When we get the tri-weekly to
operating as it should, when we have
tested out our score in all things and
found out about the weakest points
in our organization and equipment,
when we have overcome them and
our writer's get so busy they can sup
ply more than the tri-weekly will
carry without using supplements, we
will be taking on more help and
training them for heavier tasks.
There will be need for more office
room than we have now, and we will
peel off the roofing and build the
other story on top. Everything
about the building was designed with
that in view, and without disturbing
our working force we can furnish
the new Offices and put in a tele-
graph operator, a telegraph editor.
an agricultural editor, a county news
editor, a photographer and engraver
and a cartoonist. That will not
double the working force, but they
will be high-priced people, and it
will take some new equipment for
them to work with
If I were to give you the list of
the new equipment, with my present
incomplete information, it would
read about as follows:
l Projecting press ...............$1O,0 900
1 Stereotyping outfit ............ 5000
Top-story and furniture ........ 5000
Engraving and photo outfit :. 1000
