The COMMUNITY WOOD PILE.

SPHE enterprising town of Dubois,
in the upper Snake river country.
has set an example and offered pos
sible solution for solving the present
fuel shortage problem, especially for
those cities and towns in this state
within a reasonable distance of forests.
Boise is included within that list.
Dubois Is 16 miles from tho timber line.
When coal became short it's citizens
decided to provide a community wood
pile and drivers, teams and wagons
were started Off to the timber to haul
wood back to Dubois.
Dubois solution was simple and
primitive. While its climate is not as
severe as that of middle western states,
the upper Snake river country has con-
siderable cold weather yet the people
who live there hold no fear of fuel
famine. When their coal runs out they
will keep warm by burning wood.
This could be done in Boise just as
well as Dubois. The state capital is
almost an equal distance as Dubois
from timber. There is private owned
railroad into 1t. Thousands OF
cords Of wood could be quickly trans
ported from the forests to Boise II the
occasion demanded 1t. The Dubois sug-
gestion is worthy Of serious considera-
ton as applied to Boise or any Other
city within reach Of the forests.

MARTIAL LAW IN OKLAHOMA.

5THE extreme to which the consuming
public will go to prevent suffering
during the coal shortage situation is
made apparent in the state Of Okla
homa where Governor Robertson has
declared martial law in number of
the coal centers and ordered state
troops to occupy the mines and protect
the men who are willing to dig coal
that the states supply of coal may be
kept UP. .-.-.. -.....
Hostile outbreaks about the mines
when strikers attempted to interfere
with the coal output brought about this
radical step. Governor Robertson has
proven he is fearless in handling a
situation which directly involves the
people as a whole and should be given
the strongest moral support that Okla
homa can put behind him.
Oklahoma proposes to make use of
the coal deposits within it's borders,
irrespective Of the disagreement be-
tween the miners and the operators.
That is a state right and every other
state in the Union is justified in taking
similar action.

EDITORIAL OPINION or

WHY BUSINESS ADVERTISERS.
News, Pocatello)

Recently Congressman Reavis of
Nebraska made the statement in the
house Of representatives. that the large
amounts of money being spent today
on advertising was an effort to de-
fraud the government of excess profits
tax
Replying to the charge, Harry
lean Association OF Advertising
Agencies said:
The charges made by Representa-
tive Reavis should not and probably
will not be taken very seriously. In
these days of, steadily rising costs of
doing business, no merchant or manu-
facturer has to hunt for ways and
means of increasing operating ex-
penses and reducing profits.
III the gentleman from Nebraska
were to look into the matter he would
find that while the total volume of
advertising has increased, and while
! more merchants and manufacturers
are learning that good advertising
pays, yet the volume of advertising
expenditure is no greater today in pro-
portion to the total volume of business
| in this country than 1t was years ago.
1T may appear to be greater, but
| that is largely because the money is
being more efficiently spent.
Advertisers ana their agency COun-
sellers have learned how to make a
dollar of expenditure in advertising
look bigger and do more work than it
used to.
Furthermore, the greater part of
| increased advertising Is the sum of the
expenditures of a great army of COM
paratively small merchants and manu-
facturers, not of the expenditures of
So called big business.
big Business that did not advertise
formerly is advertising today because
in doing so it has learned the value of
advertising in extending markets, re-
ducing selling costs and building good
will 1t learned the lesson from study
ing the experience of small business
that grew big through wise advertise
ing"
| Like the expert that he is, Mr.. Smith
| speaks conclusively: to instance in the
matter of building good WILL" adver-
Using has a value that is often over
| looked.
Advertising is not only business
getter, but a business builder, and the
largest of the young mercantile for
tunes made in this country in the last
two decades are in direct proportion
to the advertising done by their accu-
ImulatorS.

The festival commentaries the STIR

165 B. c. Antiochus Epiphanes, the
king of Syria. wishing to unite all the
provinces under his dominion into one
nation, issued a decree that only the
Greek religion was to be practiced
thenceforth. He thereupon tried to
suppress Judaism, burned the Sacred
Scrolls of the law and set up idols in
the Holy Temple at Jerusalem. But
the Jews did not submit to his decree.
Instead, they resisted, and after long
protracted warfare, Judas Maccabeus,
the son of Mattathias the priest, sup
ported by his four heroic brothers, de-
feated the Syrians, and on the 25th
day of the month of kislev in the year
1865 b. c., removed the idols from the
temple and rededicated it TO the SER
vice of God.
Many beautiful legends and stories

Chanukah. The most beautiful OF

dedication only single cruise of oil

STRANGE FACTS THAT
FEW PEOPLE KNOW
what does that insignia mean?'

What does tnat 1nSlSuld mean
For what was his medal given?
In years past the average American
citizen considered it a part of his
blissful democracy to be ignorant of
matters military since the armistice
of year ago it has become hall
mark of the well informed, as we'll as
a patriotic duty, for him to know the
decorations won by our valiant soldiers
in their glorious smash at Germany's
mailed fist.
Moreover, there is a keen interest,
akin to that the collegian shows in the
pennants of rival football teams. in the
insignia which distinguished various
military units of the American Expe-
dictionary Force. And, finally, comes
the Victory Medal, soon to be the
proud possession of some 100000
men; and, in after years, to be the
cherished heirloom of American fam
lilies.
Up to this time information on in
sigma has been available only in piece

formation, leading to confusion. There

THE RELEASE OF JENKINS.

THE release Of William o. Jenkins,
American. consular agent at Pu-
ebla, unquestionably relieves the in
ternational situation. There appears to
exist a doubt as to how his liberation
was accomplished-a doubt that seems
to cloud every issue that comes up
over Mexico. The state department
claims that his release is the direct re-
suit of it's diplomacy. The Mexican
authorities claim he was released on
furnishing $500 bond. If Mexico's
contention is correct, the Carranza
government still holds club threaten
ingly over an American subject, and
the jenkins issue. therefore, is just as
vital now as when he was unlawfully
incarcerated.
With the knowledge that on the re-
cent sharp demand by Great Britain
to Mexico to release British SUBJ
ject who was unlawfully held, and the
quick response of Carranza the delay
encountered in securing fair treatment
OF American citizen does not serve to
tighten the tension between the United
States and Mexico. In jenkins case
he was first kidnapped and held TO,
ransom, released when the ransom was
paid and then arrested by the Mexican
government and placed in prison OF

bandits, claim he Indignantly de

Mexico seems to have a weakness 70

had crossed the border and raided tn

OBSTINATE GERMANY.

mERMANY'S obstinacy reached a
lin climex when the Huns refused to
81 il the protocol agreeing to the execu-
ton Of the terms of the treaty Of YER
sailles. For the past three months
Germany has been becoming holder In
its attitude toward the allies. Evasion
seems to be the keynote Of its policy
with the result the peace conference
has been forced to consider the advis-
ability of sending an ultimatum to that
country backed up with a threat of i'm
mediate invasion Of Germany unless
the answer meets the terms of the al
lies. Troops are even now being moved
to advantageous points. Included
among them are American soldiers.
The Germans have carried their
bluff that they would not sign the
protocol, SO far that their mistaken
idea of the temper of the allies is likely
to prove disastrous for them. During
the entire war German territory was
aot invaded. That country has yet to
experience the sight of devastated
cities and provinces. The army sur
,endered to an armistice before the
allies could cross from France or Bel
rium into Germany and it is well for the
Hun that this was so.
The same mistaken diplomacy led
germany into war and, Judging from
recent actions Of her statesmen, the
lesson was not thoroughly driven home.
If Germany thinks that failure on. the
mart of the United States to ratify the
peace treaty will, in the end, make her
terms with the allies easier, she is
again in error. The United States only
seeks to protect her own national
ideals and policy. Even those most in
sistent in their stand for reservations
are in thorough accord with the rigid
terms of the peace treaty as they apply
TO Germany. That country will be
wise in signing the protocol before the
armies Of the allies invade her terri
tory, for we fear for what might hap
| pen to Germany's boosted border cities
II armed intervention is ordered. The
allies have not forgotten what happened
to the rich territories Of Belgium ant
France.
