COMMISSIONER WANTS LAND
INFORMATION FOR SETTLERS

In view of the returning numbers
of soldiers, many of whom desire to
take up or buy land in Idaho, and in
view of the fact that settlement con-
tinues to travel westward In this
nation, the commissioner of immigra-
ti0n for this state finds his work
opening out into larger fields. He
will have many soldiers and settlers
to advise.
In a letter, O. H. Barber, present
commissioner, declares that there is
need for information in his office
that should come direct from men
who know about local conditions in
all parts OF the state where there is
homestead land to be had or other
land Obtainable.
He wants to get acquainted with
men who take an interest in helping
soldiers find suitable lands In Idaho,
and would not under any ,cifcum-
stances locate them on poor, unpro-
ductive farms, and would appreciate
letters from snch persons. e -

WHERE THE FRENCH
HAVE TT ON AMERICA

In the matter of roofs, which have
a twofold purpose to excuse them for
being on houses, namely to shelter
the inmates and to complete the
architectural beauty Of the abode,
the French custom is better than our
own.
In France there is an abundance of
slate and it makes good shingles.
When used for roofing it settles into
comfortable formations, says here
and there, gathers moss, and gives
a hand-tailored appearance to the
mansion, be 1t large or small.
In America wooden shingles are
used altogether. They fill only one
OF the above purposes. They are not
beautiful, but they do give shelter.
Yet for this one virtue they have a
fault; they easily catch fire. The
IRE chief at Salt Lake City complains
that they are the cause of II per cent
OF all the fires in the city.
But you could light a fire on a
French roof and not start anything.
House construction in France aims.
seemingly, to use as much OF the
natural rock formation as possible.
In many cases all floors of building
are OF stone tile, even unto the third
and fourth stories.

WILSON OPPOSES
SECRET TREATIES
PRESIDENT THROWS DOWN THE
GAUNTLET TO SUPPORTERS
OF SUCH METHODS.
Peace Delegates Generally Regard
Statement Of American Repre-
sentative as Challenge which
will Dispose of Question.

Paris.-President Wilson's emphati
declaration that he will pot yield OF
the Adriatic question has created tn,
most profound sensation in the .peac,
conference. He has thrown down tn,
gauntlet to the supporters of secre
treaties In a manner which almost tool
away the breath of the delegates wht
have been urging compromises OF
points covered by many secret docu
ments and at variance with the presi
dents fourteen points.
President Wilson's sweeping declara
tion, while aimed directly at the Adri
attic problems, also reaches the Kiao
chow controversy, in which Japan re
lies on secret agreements made witt
Great Britain, France and Italy in
1917 to support her in her claim to the
concessions held by Germany in Shan.
tung.
The peace delegates generally 70
gard President Wilson's statement as
a challenge which. once for all will dis.
pose of the question whether secret
documents, Of which many nations par.
ticipating in the war were ignorant,
are to figure in the peace following an
armistice in which all the allies
pledged gave no regard to secret
treaties.
The president points out that every
condition concerning the Adriatic set
tlement has been changed since Italy
entered the war upon the promises of
the pact of London, the Austro-Hun-
garian empire having disappeared. He
notes that new states have been Gre
ated, for which Fiume is the natural
outlet to the sea.
President Wilson also contends that
necessity, pleaded in behalf
of Italy's claim to the Dalmation is
lands, no longer prevails, as the Aus
trian naval menace has ceased to ex-
list.
In issuing his official statement Of
the Adriatic question President Wilson.
let it be known that he desired once
again to call attention to the fact that
there were certain well-defined prin-
ciples which have been accepted by the
peoples of the world as the basis for a
lasting peace. The United States dele
cation simply recalled this in order
that there should be no deviation from
these principles.

ANARCHISTS CONTROL VIENNA
Austrian Capital Taken Over by the
Soldiers, Council.

Vienna.-Control of Vienna has been
taken over by the soldiers council.
Quiet prevails, but communizing of the
property of those unable to resist has
been begun. 1t is possible there will
be no change in the name of the gov
ernment, but it will be Bolshevistic in
purpose. 2
The situation is much the same as it
was at Budapest a few hours after the
radicals had taken control. The polio
ing Of the city has been taken over by
the Volkswehr. The parliament build
ing was occupied Saturday morning by
two battalions of soldiers after repre-
sentatives> of the soldiers council had
placed 5000 men at the governments
disposal upon the understanding that
the police would be dispersed.

VOCATIONAL AID.
WISER WAS here
Advised Boys to Take
Advantage of Offer
of Government
HELPS DISABLED

d. G. Cox, a university professor
picked to carry on advisory work IL
connection with the aid given thr,
Red Cross service to disabled army
and navy men, was brought to Black
foot Thursday afternoon by H. D
MacCosham, acting chairman of the
county council of defense. All the
boys that could be found were
rounded up, who in any way came
under the class to be helped by re.
education or special training.
Boys who met and consulted with
DR.. Cox were Vail Clevenger, Thomas
Bumgarner, Floyd Mcdonald, Frank
DeKay, Ershal Lindsay, Cyrus
Yancey, Joel Burkman of Firth, Rice
OF Sterling and Frank Hugh Walker
Some of these boys were wounded
some disabled thru sickness during
army service. DR.. Cox advised them
to take whatever advantages in
special training they were entitled
to. Several of the boys neglected to
apply for government aid because
they knew it might delay their dis
charge from the army and keep them
away from home longer than other
wise necessary. They simply said
nothing. and accepted their dis
charges.
This government vocational SER
vice is no joke. 1t means a great
deal to young man, and makes an
advantage out of an apparent handi-
cap, for some of the finest specializ-
ing schools of the country are open
to soldiers, fitting them to be skilled
experts in many lines of work.
Under some conditions man will
receive $65 a month, besides his free
tuition. The government intends
that nothing shall interfere with
mans taking advantage of special
education, whether lack of cash, or a
wife and children to support.
The case Of Americans who served
with allied armies has not yet been
officially arranged for, but the Elks
have turned over fund of $25O,00O
to be used for them in the same way.

or vocational training if the amount
ct his disability allowance is 10 per
cent or over.

part to advise the boys and Red
Cross workers; he counsels them to
take all the education they can get,
and in some line that appeals to
them. He is civilian, but working
in a national service for the govern
ment.
An interesting incident to the
doctors visit here was the discovery
that he had been an instructor of
Frank DeKay, Jr., at the University
OF Washington several years ago.
Mrs. Neil F. Boyle and Mrs. Carey,
who are principal factors in the Red

APPEALS TO
LOYAL AMERICANS
TREASURE vow YET UNTITLED,
WILSON SAYS, URGING SUP.
PORT OF VICTORY LOAN.
Cables From Paris an Earnest Appeal
For Ready Response to Fifth and
Final Issue to Free World
From Militarism.

Washington. New evidence OF
Americas purpose to redeem in full
the pledges made on entering the wal
was asked of the nation on April 10
by President Wilson, who, urged full
subscription of the $4,5OO,OO0,OOO Vic
tory Liberty loan issue. Sixty thou.
sand men who gave their lives in
France have redeemed the covenant OF
blood made two years ago, the presi.
dent said, but the pledge of treasure
remains yet to be fulfilled.
President Wilson's message in full
follows:
"For two anxious years the Ameri-
can people have striven to fulfill the
task of saving our civilization. BY the
exertion OF unmeasured power they
have quickly won the victory without
which they would have remained in
the field until the last resource had
been exhausted. Bringing to the con-
test strength of spirit made doubly
strong by the righteousness Of their
cause, they devoted themselves un.
swervingly to the prosecution of their
undertaking with the full knowledge
that no conquest lay in their path ex-
cepting the conquest Of right.
To-day the world stands freed from
the threat of militarism which has so
long weighed upon the spirit and the
labor of peaceful nations.
'But as yet we stand only at the
Threshold of happier times. To enter
we must fulfill to the utmost the en-
gagements we have made. The Vic
tory Liberty loan is the indispensable
means. Two years ago we pledged our
lives and fortunes to the cause for
which we have fought. Sixty thousand
of our strongest sons have redeemed
for us that pledge Of blood. To redeem
in full faith the promise of this sacr-
rifice we now must give this new evil
dence of our purpose"
With the formal opening of the CAM
paign still nearly two. days away, sub
scription pledges began to pour into
the treasury on Saturday, along with
predictions of success perhaps even
more optimistic than those accompany
ing the four previous bond issues.

VARIOUS GENERAL ORDERS

The ordinary, everyday instruc-

military sentry have been tabulated
in twelve orders. More attention is
paid to their being memorized by

other point Of duty, except courtes-

have them by heart.
When a soldier is about to 60 on
guard for the first time he usually
takes some old soldiers advice and
learns his general orders, unless he
already has them at his tongues end,
because it is a we'll known habit of
officers of the guard to show up in
the dead of night on the sentry's
post and demand recitation of
them. And woe unto the doughboy
who forgets.
And because he cannot forget these
general orders, so assiduously drilled
into his brain, he has applied them
in another general way to his per-
sonal life, on his own hook.
Here are both, the army's and the
doughbOy's general orders:

you CAN LEARN A LOT FROM
ADVERTISING

The main thing an advertiser
wants to do is to tell you plainly
just how and why his goods are
worthy of your consideration You
can learn a great deal from that
alone, because many things you see
advertised are the things you buy
and use in your regular daily life
By reading the advertisements, you
can learn the names nd read des-
criptions of the things that are best
and most satisfactory.
But advertising teaches even more
than that. Al advertisers try to
make their advertisements them
selves valuable to you.
A good many people have learned
whole lot about good music, good
books, good food, good clothes, ways
to keep healthy, ways to live com.
-fortably, ways to keep house and
grounds looking well-they'ye learn
ed all these things and many other
things just by reading advertise
ments.
Read the advertisements right a.
long, and you will learn great deal
that will be helpful and valuable to
you as you go through life.

1t is not putting 1t too strongly to
say that Premier Venizelos Of Greece
is overwhelmed with grief and cha
grin at the plan for the partition Of
Thrace put forward by President VIII
son, which was wholly unexpected by
him.
According to the Greeks themselv-
es probably the only greek In. all Eu-
rope getting any satisfaction out of
the Presidents plan is former King
Constantine. II you ask why even
Constantine would approve the pro-
ject which denies the Greek claims
to Thrace practically in toto the ans.
wer is, Constantine would be willing
to lose Athens itself for the sake of
discrediting Venizelos. There is no
question that adoption Of this plan
cabled over by President Wilson last
week as his own substitution for the
Polk and Tardieu plans would dis
credit Venizelos with his own people
beyond hope of recovery. His best
friends say that. They also say, of
course, that the plan can never be
adopted.-Nashville Banner.
