WOODY WILLIE.
We'd better watch the former kaiser or he'll be
back Prussias throne; we leave him free-it
might be wiser to house him in a shack of stone.
Some donjon keep of ancient pattern, with walls
score of cubits thick, with near but some
grim slattern to hand him musty bones to pick. A
lot Of Huns are busy plotting to their exed Bill
recrowned. and will be till his nobs rotting in some
damp dungeon underground. And Bill sits up, in
waitful watching, and doubtless murmurs DER and
DER, Unless they do some bonehead botching my
friends will have crowned once more" hate to
think what things happen il Bill again his scep-
tire owns perhaps some four years of scrappn',
with CHASTITY toll of blood and bones 1t is no dream
that Huns are planning to bring the old rule back
again. all corners of the empire manning with Bloody
Billys kind of men, And permit the exile cheesy
to stay where he can help them plan; I wonder why
We are so easy; why don't squelch the also ran?
We used to say we'd surely punish old Bill and wipe
out every debt; for all his msdeeds base and Hun
nsh, he'd have to pay in bloody sweat. He sits in
peace, the monstrous vandal, who should be fed to
hungry sharks; 1t Is blooming shame and scandal
and why are we such easymarks?

Helping Ourselves.

PHE steps taken to make the Idaho
Reclamation association a vital fac
tor, instead of something on paper
that meets occasionally and passes resolu-
tons and then sinks back in it's sepulchre,
simply mean an opportunity to help our
selves.
The national government proposes to APP
propriate a hundred million dollars for
reclamation of arid, swamp and cut-over
land.
There is no state that should be more
concerned in this movement than Idaho,
yet Idaho was late in acting.
Better late than never, though; and now
we have an organization that is going to
the bat every day to get for Idaho the share
! of this money to which the state is clearly
entitled on it's record of production and on
its uncultivated areas.
Every citizen of idaho should join this
association and assist with his mite to give
it the strength and prestige it requires to
do the job.
If we are not interested in securing a
large share of this reclamation fund, the
federal government will not force it onto
us.
Unless we do something to help our
selves we will be as immune from govern
ment millions as grindstone is from flu.
The association was fortunate in secur-
ing the services of Major Reed. He has
done so much for Idaho (more unselfish de-
votion to state has rarely ever been reveal
ed) that the people really owe it to him to
get behind this movement and make it a
success. OF course, there is a larger reason
FOR IDAHO.

not good enough The which she was not able TO

Prices Will Not Drop.
IRVING FISHER of

~ Yale university, an eminent econ
u omist, says prices will not drop soon.
In some scattered instances they may
come down, as a result of special condi-
tons in special industries; but the general
price level will not come down much, if at
all, because there is no reason for it, If
money is inflated it is going to stay in
flated, the world over. Labor is going to
stay up Raw materials are going to stay
up. We cannot get back to before-the-
war conditions.
We are on a permanently higher price
level, concludes Professor Fisher, 'sand
the sooner the business men Of the coun-
try take this view and adjust themselves
to it, the sooner will they save themselves
and the nation from the misfortune which
will come if we persist in our present false
hope

REVELATIONS
OF A WIFE
Why Mr.. Stockbridge Was 50
Careful About Madge's
Telephone Call.

n TR. sTocKBRIDGE appeared at the
VI door Of my class room one after
noon shortly after the holiday va
cation, and summoned me into the corri-
dor

for you in my office" he said with the
cold brusqueness so characteristic OF his
manner to all his teachers. II will take
your class so that you may 60 right

looked at him in undlsguised trepida-
ton. There Is an iron -clad rule in the
Bayview school that no teacher shall
be summoned to the telephone in school
hours unless for grave emergency. Mr..
stockbridge was courtesy itself. despite
his surface brusqueness. in taking mes
sages and delivering them to the teach
ers, and outside Of class hours the tele-
phone was ours As freely as II in our
own homes. But the recitation hours
were sacred.

as II something in the summons for me
had amused him.

you to have your wits about you"

spoken. The next moment ho had stifr.

She hurried out. closing the door after
her. I looked after her in helpless be-
wilderment. or course, she had received
her instructions from Mr.. stockbridge,
but why all this elaborate precaution
for my privacyr
I knew there was no bad news. Mr.,
6tockbridge's manner had assured me
OF that. Besides. remembered his
thoushtful kindness when the news of
Dicky's disappearance came. He would
never have allowed one Of his teachers
70 receive bad news alone. It must be
some emergency message from Lillian.
She must need my aid in something.
