"The Island Mystery"

from steep patches of red roof. There
were other delectable features of the place,
but absolutely no modern improvements.
However, Queen Daisy was perfectly
delighted with everything and there eer-
tainly was an air of mystery about the
entire island. As a matter of fact there
was a mystery, and the Queen and Phil
hips, second officer of the chartered steam
ship, were the first to run across it. They
were puzzled, but it was not until later,
when German, n p, visited the island to
avoid threatened international eompliea-
tions that it was solved.
When the Emperor heard of the sale Of
the island he was furious. He forced
Konrad Karl to abandon Paris and Nine.
Ypsilante and place himself aboard the
Mcgalan navy and sail for Salissa. He
must either buy back the island from Dom
ovan or regain the title by marrying
Daisy.
With the arrival of Konrad Karl things
began to happen. There was a mystic
rious visit from German naval vessel and
almost a bOmbardment by the Negalian
navy, In the prevention of which the un-
furling of the American flag played q
part. The mystery became a mystery no
longer when one day shortly after tho

The Island Mystery is a highly enter
tanning piece of fiction, done In the char
acteristie manner of the author of Spanish
Gold. The characters are all interesting,
but Konrad Karl, with his passion for
eontorted English idioms, is particularly
charming. Morally he is quite impossible;
but body can like the worst characters
in book without any one else being the
wiser. This novel is built on strictly comic
opera lines. 1t would not be surprising
before the season is over to see it done IN
girls and music. If rafting good book
makes the same sort of a show, the pro-
duction ought to be good for a long run
on Broadway.

dropped more in the waste basket than
Tommy wanted him to, including some
fine songs wrote for him out of my own
head but the story's all here,
with the hard words spelled right, and
everything clear and sensible, which is
more than l could have done myself. The
writing mans name is E. L. Bacon, if
anybody should wish to know"

ana weighs 10 pOunuS. lie was the mas
cot of the Fifth Kings Liverpool Regi-
ment. He enlisted as bugler and be-
came fine rifeman. The bandmaster of
the Fighting Fifth" once told him: "If
we was fightin' the Germans with chunes
we'd have We in the front trenches, me lad,
and thered be a Hun drop dead every
time We gave toot." Tommy got to the
trenches but he carried gun, not a bugle.
In some respects the story of Tommy
gives a convincing picture of what our
own boys must be going through now. As
for instance: Tommy tells of an Amer
lean boy named Mcbride who fought with
the Liverpool regiment. Mcbride was
asked if he had ever seen any Indians.
"'Sure, lots of 'em. I've fought against
EN- when they were trying to raid New
York city. We drove 'em back into Jer-
sey, where they got away in the woods
"'What yer givin' usp growled. a Brit
ish Tommy. DO yer think | know no
more of America than to swallow one like
that? There's no Indians within 200 miles
of New York
you're right spoke up Mcbride.
Did / say New York; 1t was a slip Of
the tongue. 1t was Buffalo meant
"'That's more like it, said the Tommy"
Tommy Kehoe, in the trenches at 10,
saw hard fighting and was wounded twice
and again, third time, by German who
dubbed him over the head with the butt
of his rifle while Tommy lay wounded in
No Mans Land. But all this was nothing
alongside the day when he was carried
back to Blighty and left the ship ION a
stretcher) to be greeted by King George,
who shook his hand and asked him his
age. Tommy told it and the King said:
"At your age you should never have
been there. But, my boy, if all the men OF
England showed such spirit we should
soon win the war"
Readers of all ages will thoroughly en-
joy The Fighting Mascot.
Aviation remains, and is likely to re-
main, the most alluring branch of the
military services. The Flying Yankee, by
Flight" is, as the title implies, the story
of young American who enlisted in the
Royal Flying Corps. "Fhght' had lost
his mother and father on the Lusitania;
hence his enlistment. After many months
of training on this side he was sent to
England and then to France. He had
many air fights, dropped bombs on Ostend
and chased and fought Zeppelins over
London. His story makes wonderfully
vivid narrative.
Flight" says one thing so interesting it
must be noted:
at has not been England's policy TO
publish the deeds of her aviators, but
when the reports are given to the public
the nature of the deeds and the large num-
Der of boys from the United States who
are cited for bravery will surprise the
whole world"
At the climax of the story "Fhght' is
lying wounded in a hospital in England
after making lone stand against four
German Gotha planes. "The most vel
coined gift of all 1 received was box of
100 cigarettes, and to me they were worth
their weight in gold. To those fathers
and mothers who have boys overseas say
Don't forget your lads smokes"
An interesting and exciting story.

SUGAR FACTORY NEWS

The sugar company is arranging
to have farmers begin harvesting
beets about the first of October, and
the factory will begin it's fall run
soon after that. &i
The total number of acres to be
harvested is about $500. Upwards
of 10000 acres were planted, but at
least $500 acres failed to gerinate
we'll enough to make stand or froze
out.
The tonnage this year is about the
same as last year, and the price to
be paid the growers Is $40. Expen-
ses have been higher, and many
farmers have beets that are thin
stand, SO that it takes more acres to
get the same tonnage. Altogether
the crop is not very satisfactory, but
the high price will save the grower
from disaster. Taking the country
over the crop is good, but Bingham
county was in dry belt that failed
to receive its accustomed spring
showers to sprout the beet seed.

HUNS HAD NO BELGIUM
700 YEARS AGO; OTHER
NATIONS FELT|RON HEEL

A record of seven centuries of con.
sistent glorification of brutality and
contempt for the principles upon which
modern civilization has grown, is re-
vealed in an excerpt from the Opus
Majus of Roger Bacon, written 700
years ago, and paragraph from
Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche, the late
German philosopher. @
The fact that Nietzsche died in q
madhouse makes it more understand
able, perhaps, why he was proclaimed
the true prophet Of "deutschum' and
the German will to power" The
Kaiser is not more mad than his war
lords and his Nietzsche- befuddled peo-
pie.
Bacon's views on the Germans of his
time were as follows:
Hence the Saracens and pagans In
many parts Of the world are becoming
quite impossible to convert; and espe-
cially beyond the sea, and in Prussia,
and the lands bordering on Germany,
because the brethren Of ,.ha German
house Il. e., Teutonic knights) ruin all
hopes of converting them owing to the
wars which they are always stirring
up, and because of their lust for DOM
nation. There is no doubt that all the
heather nations beyond Germany would
long ago have been converted but for
the brutality of the brethren of the
German house, because the pagan race
has again and again been ready to re-
ceive the faith in peace through preach
ing. But they Of the German house
will not allow it, because they want
to subjugate them and reduce them to
slavery, and by subtle persuasions they
have for many years deceived the Ro-
man church. This is notorious, other
wise | would not make the charge"
Nietzsche, revealing true German
lack Of understanding of the princi-
pies which have brought the greatest
good to the greatest number" said:
with this I conclude, and pronounce
my sentence: condemn Christianity.
TO me 1t is the greatest of all imagin-

HIGH SCHOOL
EVENTS BEGIN TUESDAY
SophOmOres and Freshmen Display
Splendid School Spirit.

Tuesday, Sept. II was a red let
ter day in the history of the Fresh
man class of the Blackfoot high
school. 1t has been stated that the
Freshmen should take initiation
without telling their feelings, but the
class of '22 showed their true colors
in the way they protrayed the class
spirit Tuesday.
The sports began at 4 o'clock and
lasted until late hour. First a tug
o'war took place near the Hess feed
stable between the sophmores and
the freshies, resulting in defeat for
the former. In the evening q
dummy was stuffed and christened
"Sophmores. After torturing the
creature, they cremeated it to show
their appreciation for the higher
classmen. In a body they marched
down the streets of the city shout
ing shouts of hate for the ones that
have gone before. and after showing
their true spirit they dispersed in a
feeling of happiness and wish the
upper classmen the best Of luck.
