It was pathetically absurd, that
barren little hope of the bereaved old
mother, but none of them even let
her see them smile at it.
The afternoon before Christmas
Julia persuaded her husband to take
little Bobbie downtown so that he
could not surprise her trimming the

went along.

It was indeed. The big store had
hired rather shabby-looking young
man that week, who for SIS was sup
posed to sit at the door Of an imita-
tlon snow house and solemnly encour-
age visiting youngsters to tell him
their fondest wants in the line Of pres
ents. Little Bobbie was impatiently
waiting In line, holding fast with one
chubby fist to his fathers hand, in no
time. Mother and father Morris, and
big brother Jim watched and waited
smilingly for them on the edge Of
the crowd.
"Well my little man, what is your
name?" asked the scarlet-coated and
long white-whiskered Santa Claus in
a tired, husky voice when Bobbie's
turn finally came.
''I'm Robbie Wallace, dear Mr.. Santa
Claus, and I live at 56O1 Byrne street"
the boy chirruped at him, round-eyed
and devoutly believing in the identity
Of Santa. 'My mammals name is Julia
Wallace and I've got a little baby
sister now, too"
The long g-whiskered Santa patted
his head In perfunctory WEAKNESS.
"And what do you most want me to
put in your stocking this Christmas
Eve, Bobbie?" he asked with side
long glance at the tolerantly smiling
father. -

Drive Renewed
Bingham County Must Keep up Good
Record. Business Mems Com
mittee Have Taken Work up
MANY COUNTIES FELL SHORT

Bingham county was not the only
county in southeastern Idaho to fall
down on the Salvation Army drive.
Bannock county alone stands with a
large oversubscription.
But Bingham county was the only
county in other records; it's list of
men killed in the war is as high a
percentage of population as any
county in the state can show; Bling
ham county went over with the best
in every war loan and war service
drive.
Because Bingham county deserves
a better showing on the roll of un-
selfish giving for such charities as
represented by the Salvation Army,
business mems committee consist
ing of w. F. Bergman, H. D. Mac
Cosham and C.. s. Beebe has ar
ranged to take up the drive and put
it over.

ferred with these men Monday and
attended the luncheon of the COM
mercial club governors to close the
arrangements for continuing the
drive.

The case of the Scandinavian

which was closed last week by order
of the state board of banking exam
iners, developed another sectional
angle Saturday afternoon when
President H. J. Hagan and Cashier
P. r. Sherman were arrested on COM
plant of P e. Hallderson, temporary
receiver of the bank. They pleaded
not guilty and were released on
bonds Of $4,000 each.
The board also condemned as re-
sponsible for the condition of affairs
in the bank the former examiner,
charging that his every auditing visit

OF AND BY THE
PEOPLE

Race riots began in the United
States shortly after the close of the
great war at time when negro
troops were returning to their homes
honorably discharged from the
United States army. The trouble
broke out violently in Washington,
D. c., Chicago and recently Omaha.
Friday reports indicate that racial
conflict was in full swing in the
whole state of Arkansas, so serious
that federal soldiers were in charge
Of some of the towns, notably Elaine.
The rioting seems to have blazed
up in each instance thru some single
incident which formerly did not
cause any such conflagration.
Governor Brough, of Arkansas,
who was fred on during the melee,
believes that an organized effort to
further social and economic equality
between whites and blacks in this
country is in process.
In Omaha the mob went beyond its

CONGRATULATIONS TO
MOREI4AND

The village of Moreland has put
on chautauqua festival and made
success Of it. Most of them did not
think they could do it, and when the
leaders proposed trying it, there was
some fear of its being failure and
the committee losing some money for
public benefit. But the committee
worked hard on the matter, they adj
vertised it we'll, they saw to it that
everybody had a good chance to buy
season tickets, and they put it
across with sufficient margin to pay
for the advertising that aided them
in getting everybody informed about
it.
The congratulations of the COM
munity are due to William Bartlett
and the rest of the pushers, who
pushed the chautauqua idea across
and brought this fine string Of en-
tertainments to the village.

WHATS
WRONG?

The time is fine right now for In
pendent thinking. No difficulty is
encountered by the pessimist who
wishes to believe that the whole
country, and the world too, is in the
last throes of demnition bow-wows,
Neither is it out OF the question to
uphold an optimistic view point, con
sidering how business, domestic and
international, has gone to sprinting
to catch up to where unchecked pros
perity would have had it but for the
war.
In America some great reforms
have gone into effect seemingly with
the whole people gloating over the
benefits. The booze menace has
been wiped out. Woman suffrage is
almost q reality.
The only thing that seems wrong
with these times of today is riots
In our principal cities, strikes al
most in every industry tying up pro-
duction of clothing, fuel and build
ing materials. and considerable dis
agreement over the covenant Of the
league of nations. II there could
only be added a white-hot national
election the fireworks would be COM
plete.
So. while everybody is trying to
explain the situation, everyone else
is justified in his opinion, whatever
it Is, for evidence OF every nature is
at hand. Nearly anything could be
deduced from almost everything that
is going on.
This universal unrest has not come
west to any extent yet. We hope it
does not, unless it is really part of
great and helpful revolution, an
overturning of mistaken theories and
a changing from unworthy customs.
Even If the upheaval brought us pain
we should be glad when it was all
over, If it brought us more general
tolerance of each others frailties, a
more general interest in our own
government, and general cleaning
out of our massy legal systems.
Frowned-upon ideas that have
been struggling for recognition dur
ing many years past are now brand
ishing clubs of power. The negro
wants social equality. The working
man wants to boss his own job. The
man in the street wants revenge for
the innumerable petty restrictions
that authority has put upon him.
Not one of these three forces acts
deliberately, but only in the heat of
sudden excitement after some overt
violence.
It's the right time for every man
to have his own opinion. Every one
elses may be wrong.
Men have never been all of the
time as good as they were at their
moments of exaltation. Every man
has his high gear and his low gear,
with intermediate speeds.
Danger makes men think their
best; perhaps these muddled times
will put us all on the track.
If every man or even the average
man, in the United States were to
live up to his own best ideas of citi-
zenship each day, the troubles would
blow over and leave little trace.
If every man would be true to him
self and thereby treat his fellow men
honestly. and fairly strikes would
end, riots stop, and production would
go ahead in leaps and bounds.-F. c.

f,.
HOUSE OF DAVID

At Benton Harbor, Mich, there h q
queer religious sect known as the b
raelite House Of David. The men do
not believe In BARRIERS and permit their
hair and whiskers to grow to their
shoulders. Their community offers
many unique attractions. but by. far
the greatest of them salls.is "a long.
haired and much.be- whiskered base
ball team.
IN. addition b, being an excellent,
playing aggregation, the baseball team
Is one Of the greatest attractions IN
Michigan. It's catcher is a king and ite
shortstop 10 q crown prince. Since no
Israelite IL allowed to shave or cut his
hair. the. players have flowing locks,
frequently extending to their waist,
and some Of them have boards that
cover their chests. Black, except in
80 far as the hair is concerned, ID con:
sidered badge Of mourning, and no
player Is even permitted to wear
black shoes. All the shoes are made
especially for them, and are tan col.
ored. Even black tape may not be
put around the handles Of the bats.
Big Crowds At Games.
The Israelites have an excellent bail
park with a well-kept diamond, and
back Of it covered grandstand, which
can accommodate more than 1000
spectators. So as not to interrupt the
daily activities of the members Of the
community, all the games are played
on Sundays, and people flock to Ben
ton Harbor from all the neighboring
towns and cities.
When autumn comes and the base.
ball season is over, all the members of
the House Of David team 60 to the
lumber camps, where they keep in
training for the following summers
baseball contests.
The House of David was established
in 1902 by King Benjamin with the as
sistance Of his wife, Queen Mary. The
king and his tribe came, originally,
from Australia, They believe that
they are the descendants Of the ten
lost tribes Of Israel. Their occupa-
ton is agriculture, and men and won.
en- must take daily a prescribed
amount Of outdoor exercise. Their
little city is complete in every re-.
spect, except that there is no hospital.
The people are so healthy that there is
no need Of such an institution.
The community at present numbers
700 members. They have a pleasure
park of nearly 100 acres, including
Eden springs, the waters Of which,
King David and his followers assert,
have wonderful health-giving proper
ties. The park also Is said to have
the most extensive and completely !,

CALL OUT SROpMEN
ON ALL RAILROADS
Nation Wide Strike is Ordered

Chicago, Aug. "A nationwide
strike of railroad shopmen was call
ed by the Federated Shopmen's Union.
Walk-outs took place at Atlanta,
Ga; Jacksonville, Fla: Boston, Den
YER and other places.
The strikers include machiniSts,
boilermakers and car repairers. The
men, who are organized. made de-
mand for an increase in wages and
improved working conditions several
weeks ago and have been negotiating
with the director of railroads, Mr.
( Hines, at Washington. Officers of the
union who are now in Washington
are said to have telegraphed local
leaders that their demands probably
would be granted and advised against
a strike.
Despite this information, it is said,
call for a strike was issued in the
Chicago district by John d. Saunders,
secretary of the Federated Shopmen's
union.
In the Chicago district alone more
than 100000 men are directly affec ed,
according to union officials. and they
claim that all the men had dropped
their tools. The men ask eighty-five
cents an hour for mechanics and sixty
cents for helpers. Present wages. ac-
cording to the union men, are sixty

the two classes.
