WE II COMING
OUT OF IT"

An earnest effort is now being
made by n few local citizens to do
something in the way of community de
veIopment, and their efforts, we hope,
will be crowned with success.
A quantity of advertising matter is
to he circulated, as Il small starter, call
ing attention to the exceptional ad-
vantages of this region as "A stock-rais-
ing country TO the excellent oil pros
poets and developments in this imme-
diate vicinity to the fine fishing and
other attractions in this valley for
tourists and pleasure-seekers, and in
other ways directing the attention of
the reader to the fact that we are on
the map. ever though somewhat isolated
and u~nadvertised, and that exceptional
opportunities exist in this region in al
most all lines of human endeavor.
Another matter hat will receive i'm
mediate attention is the marking of all
roads leading in and out of the valley,
win directions and distances, which
will be of great benefit to the travelling
public and indirectly of benefit to the
valley and its towns. Other things
which we need, and which we should
have had long ago, will be taken up as
rapidly as more important matters are
disposed of.
The bulk of the work connected with
these beneficial movements ut present
rests upon the shoulders of a few local
business men, who, if necessary, are
prepared to carry the plans through to
n successful conclusion without assist
ance. There are many others here,
however, who will receive equal ben
fits through the medium of such com
munity improvements, and these, if
they realize which side of their bread
has the butter on, should be willing
and anxious to get in the game and
help the good work along.

WAR SAVINGS
AND THRIFT STAMPS.

Under the able leadership of Hon.
w. w. Daley of Rawlins, a committee
of some twenty members will soon be-
gin a campaign in Carbon county to
promote the sale of war savings GER
tificates and thrift stamps through
out the commonwealth. DIR. Sam f.
Price has been appointed as the Sara
toga member of this committee.
While we have had no notice of the
methods to be adopted by the commit
tee, this much is known, that the news
papers of the county are not to be
asked to bear the brunt of the expense
for the publicity necessary to such a
campaign, as has been the case in pro-
noting the sale of Liberty Bonds of
the recent issues. The county news
papers have donated space for patriot
ic purposes amounting to hundreds of
dollars during h past few months-a
gift purely from patriotic motives. h
city papers over the country have also
given literally of their space, but they
derived at the same time u consider
able income from many large ads do
noted to the cause n paid for at
space rates by large banking institu-
lions and wealthy individuals n cor
p~orations.
Announcement from the treasury de-
partment is to the effect that In the
campaign for the sale of thrift stamps
and a savings certificates, it is es-
p~ecially desired TO reach all country
districts, which can be lone only
through the columns of the country
newspapers, and an effort will be made
by all committees working in the cause
to have regular advertisers among the
merchants and Others in each commu-
nifty to occasionally devote their regu-
lar space to promoting the thrift stamp
campaign, and to influence other we'll
TODD people of each community to pay
for IN advertisement in their local
paper occasionally, that the publicity
matter necessary to n successful pros
ecution of the campaign may be got
ten before the public without asking
country publishers to all the donating.
No other class in the nation has lone
as much without thought or hope of
compensation in promoting the sale of
Liberty Bonds rs have the newspaper
owners of the United States. They will,
to a man, be ready and willing to do
far more than their share in providing
the necessary publicity for the thrift
stamp campaign, but the treasury de-
partment officials have %rightfully de

AMERICAN PRISONERS
NOT TREATED CRUELTY

WASHINGTON pris-
oners returning from German prison
camps complain of scarcity of food
and bad housing conditions, General
Pershing has informed the war de-
partment, but there is no evidence of
discrimination against Americans nor
any authenticated report of brutality
toward them.
The war department Monday is
sued the following statement based
on cable from General Pershing,
dated November 20, and sent in reply
to an inquiry cabled by General
March:
American prisoners released from
German prison camps complain of
poor and scanty food and bad hous-
ing conditions. Only small precent-
age of those who are sick are hospi-
tai cases. The majority are suffering
from slight colds and the prospect Is
that all will recover rapidly with pro-
per food and housing. There is no
evidence Of discrimination against
the American prisoners.
Among 1000 prisoners of all ma
tionalities who have been released
there Is authenticated instance of
brutality against the Americans.
"The majority of the American
prisoners state that the German SOL
diers also suffered food privations,
but that in cases where the supply
of food was insufficient food for the
prisoners was cut off before that for
the German soldiers"

SCHOOLS REOPENLNG
IN THE GEM STATE

POCATELLO, Ida, Dec. 2.-This
morning the schools opened in many
parts of the state, after a long en-
forced vacation, during the intensity
of the 'fiu" epidemic, which Is now
rapidly making its disappearance
from the state. The schools of the
state have lost practically two
months Of work, and it will be fully
two months by the time the schools
in this city will again open, the date
set being December 16, provided the
situation Justices.
There will be no making up for
lost time" says the state board of
education, at least there will be no
specific rules set forth to that effect
by the state board. This matter will
be left to the counties and various
school units of the state. It may be
impossible to extend the time in any
county owing to the budget owing to
the fact that teachers salaries are
going on just the same as if they
were teaching during the close down.
II the time of keeping the schools
open were extended 1t would re-
quire additional funds for salaries,
SO it is quite likely that the schools
will work harder than usual during
the time they are open and close
down at the usual time in the spring.
