FARCICAL PROPAGANDA

The latest Hun explanation is that
Hindenburg allowed the American to get
across the ocean so that he could starvc
them to death. Evidently he has changed
his mind again, and is trying to run them
to death.
We are assured in all solemnity that
Hindenburg, having permitted the Amer
leans to arrive in France, will now estab-
fish a barrage Of submarines along the
Atlantic lanes and sink food ships. and.
an fact, all other ships. In this way the
American soldier will die of starvation,
together with all the other allies.
Why did Hindenburg take such big
chances? No sooner had he trapped the
Americans in France than they whipped
his soldiers and seized their food.
The Hindenburg plan is to put the Am
orleans to a slow and horrible death by
starvation probably viii appeal to the
Hun imagination. No doubt the Huns
would like to burn our men in oil or
stretch them on racks.
+ 1t seems incredible that the people
within the German pale, despite the
walls of censorship which the govern
ment has builded on every frontier to
keep out information, can be deluded by
such childish explanations, and yet it is
safe to say that the government propa-
gandists know what they are doing and
would not employ the explanations if

WHY TOWNS GROWING. s

Many towns have strained and sweat
to land industries from distance, and
have overlooked chances near at hand.
The Board of Trade in one community
worked for years, and after great effort
persuaded an underwear factory to move
in. The business men Of the town cheer
fully contributed. The factory struggled
along for two or three years, and finally
gave up.
Meanwhile group of young men, ma
tives of the town, who after long strug-
gle had built up quite business, moved
away because they could not get any help
toward enlarging their industry.
Z The best proposition of all is apt to be
the one that comes from our young men
who are attached to the soil. If they can
once get started in business in their home
in their home town, they will stick. No
prophet is without honor except in his
own country. The proposition that the
home fellow puts forth is viewed with too
little. respect, much less than if he were
presenting it in some strange place.
1t people want their home town to
grow, they must expect to take some
chances. There must be willingness to
lend little capital to put what seems
like 9 worthy proposition on it's feet. If
q failure is made now and then, there
should be no encouragement. If every
one took hold the loss on any one has not
been much.
The towns that have grown have been
those that had courage. If young men
wanted to start in productive business,
and gave evidence that they knew the
trade and had ability, they have found
older men ready to take stock and give
them q lift. Logan could afford to sink
some money now and then on occasional
failures, If every few years it could land
here some new productive industry that
would employ more labor, and create q
greater demand at our stores and for our
real estate.

CURTAIHNG NEWSPAPER Elk

A stir was created in many newspaper
offices when the United States War In
dustries board issued ruling that news
papers, owing to paper shortage, are not
TO be allowed to give out any free ex-
changes.
The board was led to make this rule by
the careless habits Of many newspapers
in maintaining exchange lists. Many
publishers grant exchanges to every
brother publisher that applies, and toss
the unopened papers into the waste bas-
ket. This aggravates the serious short
age in the paper supply.
However, well regulated exchange
list is an aid to the publication Of good
newspaper. The government will do well
not to regulate it too drastically. The
government must remember that it gets
its principal support, in disseminating in
formation about the war, from the news
paper press. Anything that helps the
publishers print better newspapers, helps

WINNING THE POWER-THE BAL
ANCE OF POWER

The forces in Europe fighting for
autocracy are just about equal to those
fighting for democracy. England,
France and Italy are somewhat superior
to Germany, Austria and Turkey in pop
ulation. But as autocracy can control
and command it's people better than de-
mocracy, as fighting units, it is nearly
evened up.
The entrance of the United States
throws the balance to the side of democ.
racy. But it is our hope that we shall
never again need to engage in Europ.
can conflict.
If the German people prefer autocracy
we can't help it. We can not dictate, what
kind Of government they shall have. So
after the war it looks as if the forces Of
aut0cracy and those of democracy in
Europe would still be about even.
That leaves Russia out Of considera-
ton. Russia thinks she is democratic.
But in her stupid folly, she is helping the
power that is doing the most to crush
democracy The situation leaves Russia
the real balance OF. power in the world.
If che in her ignorance is seduced Or ball
dOzed into servitude to Germany, the
balance of power in Europe remains
strongly on the side of autocracy. We
shall have new wars in prospect.
Thus Russia has the fate Of the world
in her stupid. ignorant, childish hands.
She is full of good impulses, but is blind
to the ways of the world. IN her simple
good faith, she accepts lies at their face
value. She has been the easy tool Of Ger
man spies and propaganda.
Dealing with Russia is the most .por-
tentous international problem America
ever had to meet. It stretches far in the
future. We may beat Germany by our
armies, and then Germany may by propa-
.ganda win over the credulous and simple
minded Russians to back her wicked
cause.
However let US not paint too black q
picture. The Germans do not understand
the temperament Of democratic peoples
as well as they think they do. Russia Is
essentially democratic. Her good will
can not be won by shooting down her
peasants and stealing her crops. BY
generous helpfulness In her time of need
back by military force as last resort, to
put down anarchists and German deceiv-
ers, the democratic peoples stiA have the
best chance to win Russia.

A New Kind Of
German Propaganda
Has Come To Light.

A new brand of German propa-
ganda has come to light. 1t is
directed against the automobile in
dustry. A number of alarming and
malicious stories have broken loose
simultaneously In a dozen or more
Of the large cities. The purpose Of
all Of them has been the same and
that is to alarm the motoring pub
lie the future of the motor car.
One story that has been indust-
riously circulated was that there
would be serious shortage Of tires as
a result Of the embargo on crude
rubber. That this report is un-
founded is proved by the statement
just given out by F. Richard Carrall
District Manager of the B. F. Good
rich Rubber Company. He says
that backed up by Great Britain,
Uncle Sam has promised the rubber
trade In America 100000 tons Of
oversee" rubber this year. Last
year American manufacturers. used
$1,000 tons above 100000. It is
estimated the reserve stock on hand
In America. the first Of the year
amounted to $4,000 tons. so added
to the 100000 tons garanteed her

than last year.
Another Hun lie was to the effect
that. beginning July 4, to save gas

the discontinuancs Of passenger cars
on Sunday for . period Of twelve
continuous Sundays. There ID NO

them is simply confession that
the roads are not properly built and

 This is the season when the grapes are harvested. They have begun to ripen and possibly the harvest will be on next week. I do not see how they will find labor to harvest them. It will have to be done by women and children. I understand that women come for miles to harvest them. So during harvest I suppose there will be quite few here as this is the main grape country of France. The grapes are wine grapes and are not really good to eat, but anything is good for a change I was out for a bicycle ride Wednesday and rode to small viii lage miles out.
