"FRICHTFULNESS"
Shells From a German
Submarine Strik e
Near Girls on Coast
Two Members of Tug
Crew Wounded.

BOSTON, Mass.-The first German
shells have landed on American soil.
They struck at Orleans, Cape Cod,
July 20 and were three Of over q
hundred fred from a German SUBJ
mersible, which brought the war
into Boston's front door yard. One
landed near q group Of Camp Free
girls. Another struck near where
two girls were in bathing. Another
struck sand bank without explod-
ing.
Every indication is that they were
fired deliberately to further spread
the campaign of frightfulness on this
side of the Atlantic.
Officials at the Massachusetts har-
Dor where the crews from the sunken
vessels were landed, today refused
to give out any more information
other than that two Ausrians, MEM
beers of he crew of the Lehigh val
ley tug, were wounded. .
Next night it was stated that It
would be necessary to amputate Bor-
govich's right arm. He was one Of
the Austrians.
Rear Admiral Wild July % denied
that thhe reports that Zeppelins gave
battle to the under sea raiders. He
said hat they dropped three bombs,
without effect, before the U-b0ats
submerged. .....

/ is made as to what parts shall be set
by hand and what parts by the ma
chine. Right there is where the
Republican office was miring down
without realizing it until the scores
were marked on the chart from day
to day, when discoveries began to
come thick and fast.
After type is set, the proofs have
to be read, and then the corrections
have to be made. Every line of ma
chine type that has a mistake in it
has to be melted down and cast
again, and then the corrected line
has to be placed in position in the
column or square. Imposition and
makeup cannot proceed to good ad-
vantage until corrections are COM
pleted.
When the forms are made up into
pages and the final proofs are ex-
amined, no substantial changes can
be made, the press is ready to print,
and folding, mailing and delivery
should follow rapidly. Any one
step in the long process, if not taken
at the right time, may delay each of
IuC ouDoOQuCuI otOpS VI pTOCCSSSS
and multiply the loss of time by
making somebody work at dis
advantage.
The way the chart was used in
the Republican office was to place
a black thumb-tack on any item that
caused delay in preparation of the
edition, and after the removal of the
tack the hole in the chart showed
the record of failure. The item that
received the most holes was shown
to be weak, tho the cause Of it's
weakness might be traced back to
earlier operations that were wrong.
Before we began using the chart
we printed it one time in the paper,
and so many people read and studied
it, especially the advertisers, that
they understood and aided us greatly
by their cooperation. Many people
who sent in news, understood better
and sent news at the first opportun-
ity instead of waiting till the last
chance. 1t has helped Bingham
county to get out better news
paper, and 1t is probably helping
many others, for it has been tackled
up in offices all over the United
States and is credited to an Idaho in
ventor.

A RECOMMENDATION

In order to prevent the loss of food
stuffs from destructive fires, the fed
eral food administrator for Idaho
urgently recommends and requests
that those directly concerned OBJ
serve the following regulations:
l. That, for the purpose of elimin-
ating fires every railroad appoint a
man, or men, to carefully inspect
spark arresters, or other equipment
on engines before they leave terminal
for trip; and keep record of such
inspection which can be referred to
at any time by our duly authorized
agent in the event that / becomes
necessary to Investigate the origin of
a fire.
2. That the farmers set their
wheat shocks back at least 100 feet
from the railroad fence, and plow q
fire guard Of at least three burrows
between the shocks and the railroad
tracks.
8. That the farmers stack their

they in turn are modified by about
twenty minor matters, any of which
by being neglected may nullify other
good work, and compromise the re-
suits.
The primary points are printed in
the large type, and are: good work
men, good machines, preparation
and delivery of copy, (manuscript,)
assembly and layout, composition,
| (typeseting,) reading proofs, correct
ing proofs and imposition, or make
up, which means placing the type
into form in the various pages.
Look on the accompanying chart
and observe that it shows that good
workmen must be aided or backed
up by good materials neat and Or
derby. Good machines must be aided
by fine type metal and paper and ink
supply ready.
Getting news copy depends upon
reporter, and he, or she, must be
on friendly terms with the public,
and both must be responsible. There
must be mutual confidence between
them, and the reporter must be a
6Oou oUoCA VCI duu UC uCI6cIlC.
Editorial copy depends upon the
editor, and he must read and study.
He must have good character and
lofty ideals and purposes or what he
writes will have little value.
An advertiser has to write his
copy or get somebody to do it, and
unless he has purpose and business
policies backed up by decision and
executive ability he will never make
up his mind and have his copy ready
in time to get into a paper that is
published on time.
After all of this copy, or manu-
script, is prepared, it is of no use
to the newspaper until it is delivered
to the type setter. The news that
you are intending to deliver to your
newspaper is on a stand-still until
it is delivered to them, and If every
body withheld theirs till press day
there would be little chance to
handle it all; therefore delivery Of
copy is printed in large type signify
ing its primary Importance.
Assembly and layout refer to the
artistic and mechanical arrangement
of the various kinds of matter in
each advertisement, and is usually
done by the foreman before decision

about as much chance to open the
door and get out, as a man has to
pull himself up by his boot straps.
No chance!
Major Reed and five other men
in khaki stood talking at the mo-
ment, and, hearing the screech, hur-
ried to the PROSTATE little house, set
it up and took a step backward. The
stenographer heretofore mentioned,
walked forth with stately tread,
looking far into space, and
Looked not to left nor right sir:
Not a word of greeting spoke she."
But when she turned the corner
of the hotel near by, she broke and
ran at sprint that attracted the at
tention of all the foot racers in sight,
and then the life-saving crew had
to explain what they had done. In
that way the story got out or you
never would have heard 1t.

Many people, who avail themselves
of the privilege of taking books
from the library are lax about re-
turning them, and steps to stop this
will have to be taken. In order to
place the books at the free disposal
OF as many of our people as possible
the guarantee system was abolished,
and anyone can get the use of the
public reading matter by giving Just
their name and address. It is a
wonderful thing to have these thou
sands of books at your disposal, and
it is a privilege that vertainly should
not be abused.
It Is our moral duty to return the
books within the time limit, unless
something unavoidable occurs. and
that to keep them for good, without
promptly paying for them, is dis
honest and dishonorable goes with
out saying.

Bingham county is doing some
thing unusual in the newspaper line
and few months ago received com
plimentary mention in quarter.
page article in a publishers trade
journal known at the Publishers
Auxiliary, of Chicago. 1t has a cir.
culation of about 10000 among the
publishers of the United States and
Canada, and the invention of g
Bingham county editor was consid.
cred of sufficient interest to have ar
extended notice and a quarter-page
illustration such as is reproduced
here in the chart entitled "A Good
Newspaper" Here is the story Of
how it originated:
In the fall of 1917 the manage.
ment of the Idaho Republican was
trying to find out exactly why il
could not get the paper ready and GO
to press promptly at p. m. every
press day. There was a desire to
convert the semi-weekly into a tri-
weekly and the management rea-
soned that it was no use trying to
publish three times a week until
the organization was working with
sufficient precision to get it pub
lished twice a week according to
schedule. In order to find out just
what was wrong and where was the
weak place in the working force and
equipment, Editor Trego shut him
self in the sanctum one morning in
December and worked one whole day
making chart, and in six months it
was reproduced some twenty-thou-
sand times, and copies of it have been
asked for from publishers far and
near. 1t is a new way of telling in
an illustration, what has often been
told by piecemeal in print, and it en-
ables corps of newspaper workers
to mark the score of their own work
and find out what is the matter with
them. 1t makes the patrons Of a
newspaper acquainted with the pro-
cess of making their own home news
paper, so that the publisher and his
crew can accomplish more by reason
of their help. The analysis of it is
made palmer by the following state
ment:

depends on seven or eight matters
that are of primary Importance, and

DOUCHBOYS TOOK
TWO HUN COLONIES

LONDON.--"I'm q hell of big
guy, bringing in a colonel" remarked
an American doughboy as he took
hts captive German officers to the
rear, south of Scissors.
Two American units in the Sois-
sons district alone captured 1913 Ger
man officers and 5027 men. OF two
German colonies captured, one was
brought in by the private who spoke
so eloquently Of his achievement.
An American lieutenant had eight
horses shot under him while carry
ing dispatches across the firing zone
after the telephone lines had been
cut.

LIEUT.. Davis IS
DIVISIONAL HEAD
OF AIR SERVICE

Having finished my training in a
French air gunpery school, in southern
France, / am now awaiting an oppor-
tnuity to meet Huns in the air." writes
First Lieut. Walter Davis, in the latest
letter received by his parents, Mr.. and
Mrs George Davis.
Davis enlisted year ago in New
York City, where he was then located
and has been in training in France
since last March. He was qualified
some time ago to operate a small
French plane, and is now staff officer
in charge of the air service in his dL
vision.
Lieutenant Davis stated in his letter
that on his way back to the American
field from the air school he stopped
off in Paris, and that good food and
the best of comforts were yet to be
had there. THE French foods in gen.
eral are very poor, however, and about
one-half as tasty as the American ra-
tons. About the only things which
were really good in southern France
were eggs and JAM" he said.
Davis spoke especially Of the apti-
tude of the French air students.
They are wonderful students" he
stated.

One SHIP FOR
EUROPE EVERY
FORTY MINUTES
Every Six Minutes Merchant
Vessels Arrive and Depart
From u. S. Ports.

, WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.-Every six
minutes merchant vessel arrives and
another departs from American ports.
From North Atlantic seaports there is
departure every IL minutes and one
Tor Europe every 40 minutes. This
rate or operation does not include YES
sells in the service Of the army or
navy.
The merchant fleet of $500 ships
under the control CT the Shipping
Board are run as railroads on time
schedule. The duty of measuring
ships performances with their tasks
is lodged with the Planning and Sta
tistic Division Of the Shipping Board,
headed by K. H. Gay. formerly dean
OF the Harvard Graduate School Of
Business.
Obviously, the division must know
the tasks in details, and so it co-ordi
mates with the War Industries and
war Trade Boards in determining and
providing for the country's needs from
abroad. 1t works on month-to-month
schedules, or as far in advance as it
is feasible or possible to forecast
In planning the use Of ships the
division works with the Food Admins
traton In determining the shipping re-
qu1rements for food with the War De-
partment in correlating shipping with
the requirements Of the line of sup
plies to the Western front; with the
War Industries Board in seeking solu-
tion OF the problem of bringing neces-
sary raw imports into the country, and
with the War Trade Board in prepar-
Ing the lists Of essential imports and
exports.
AS the country has gone more and
more on war basis it has been re-
garded necessary to limit the list of
essential imports to less than a hun
dred. Data on the ships and their
trade provides the basis for operation
or the vessels under the Shipping
Boards control. Likewise records are
kept Of neutral vessels coming to this
country or linking up WITH It's foreign
trade.
Thus the division checks daily about
1000 vessels. 1900 of them being
those OF the Shipping Board, 5000 en-
gagged directly in American commerce
and $500 scattered over the globe
and trading for the most part with the
allies or their colonies. Roughly, one
fourth of the merchant ships of the
world are watched by the Shipping
Board.

wayne HIATT IS
WOUNDED in FRANCE

Wayne Hiatt, son Of Leonard Hiatt,
225 North Fourth street, was wounded
in action about July IL, according to
word received from him by his par
ents.
The letter received by his parents
was written in Base Hospital, No. 30,
and at the time the letter was written
Hiatt was improving fast, and was
expecting to rejoin his company at
the front in few days.
Hiatt joined the army about two
years ago and has been in France
since April of this year.
The letter did not state how he was
wounded, but his parents believe he
was gassed as he has recovered so
soon.
