German Cunning

That marvelously industrious In
telligence bureau of the German Gen
eral Staff, we know now, had Ions
been studying American publicity
methods with view to their uses In
the worldwar which Germany was
preparing. The story Of German
propaganda in the United States has
often been told. From about 1901
on there was always a camouflage
journalistic attache in the German
Embassy at Washington. He d.
rected that campaign which was de-
signed to keep Deutschtum alive in
the Germans of the United States.
What we do not generally know is
that this man was not only an expert
but student. A nation of great
borrowers and adapters, the Ger
mans took only from the best. They
got their artillery technique from the
French, their naval construction
from the British. And where should
they go, If they wanted the best
methods of influencing the public
mind, but to the United States?
That journalistic attache was piling
up in the archives of the General
Staff the latest American treatises
on advertising psychology. He had
men planted in our advertising agen-
cies. He had agents of the General
Staff working and studying on
American newspapers.
When the war came, and when,
after the failure of her original drive,
toward Paris, Germany realized that
the struggle might last for years,
the propaganda bureau of the Gen
eral Staff proceeded to realize on
this long, patient study of American
method. They went for the news
always the news At time when the
French and British lines were closed
almost upon penalty of death,
against American reporters, Ger
many was inviting these same re-
porters to see her front-personally
conducted of course. Now Hans, the
ordinary German soldier, is a human
being with heroisms and humors and
pleasant crochets, much like Jean or
Tommy. You can not write the do
ings of any ordinary decent human
being without creating a favorable
picture of him in the mind of your
reader; American journalists all I'M
derstand that. The reporter who
went to the German front could not
in honor roast" his hosts; more
over, the censorship prevented shat.
He wrote pleasantly of what he saw
the ways of Hans, the marvellous
efficiency of the whole machine.
This was exactly what the Germans
wanted.-Will Irwin in December
Sunset.

knights Organize
Dancing Society

The knights of Pythias have
formed society among the younger
folks Of Blackfoot who are fond of
dancing, society without charter,
bond, oath or initiation, but solely
for the purpose of holding series
of informal dances in the X. P. hall
during this winter.
The first dance on the program is
that of Monday the 18th. Vic Bar
rer will furnish the orchestra, and
about fifty couple will be there IL
all who have subscribed to the series
attend. Membership in this society
has no requirements and has nothing
to do with the X. Of p. lodge. A
charge is made for the season men,
bership to cover expenses.

Each of these cases, like many
others previously encountered, in
volved the offers of better employ
ment elsewhere. But, should the
cases now being considered be de-
cided against the teachers, such an
act will be impossible.
The teachers who broke their con-
tract will be barred from teaching
anywhere in Idaho. The Idaho dis
qualification will also have its effect
in other states, DR.. Bryan said.
The commissioner and Miss Ethel
E. Redfield, superintendent of pub
lie instruction, have been empowered
by the state board of education to
hear evidence and pass judgment
upon such matters.

Over the Oval

Foot ball was invented to help re
discover Thanksgiving. The Pilgrim
Fathers had set aside Thanksgiving
as a time for expressing gratitude
for the first seasons crops. Blu
when it was all over and they go
down to brass lacks and hard tack
they discovered that there was not sc
darn much to be thankful for after
all. The Indians were all reds and
our forefathers were anxious to keeI
labor troubles back until Samuel
Gompers should be born; while the
maize crop was amazing, the Swiss
chard was a failure, and the frost
was on the pumpkins; the shaking
ague and nostalgia appeared in their
| midst; and they did not have half
enough ancestors with them-they
certainly should have more ances-
tors; why, there were not enough
ancestors on the Mayfower for half
the Camminettis and Floradoras and
other Irish families that they wanted
| Boston to have.
So Thanksgiving went into the dis
card for quite a long time, but it
was not long before they wanted to
be thankful for something. "But
what shall it be?" asked Goodness
Knows Jones. And search as they
might there was nothing they could
think of, except that Sakes Alive
Brown suggested that they might be
thankful that Columbus didn't dis
cover any more continents. Good
ness Knows suggested that they
might be glad they were not dead.
Dead from what? The Boston and
Maine trains didn't run over us, and
none of us fell from a blimp, we
escaped the flu, we didn't go to war
and get shot in the Argonne, and
Kansas cyclone didn't lift us up and
deposit is astride Bunker Hill monu-
ment. No. there's nothing to be
thankful we didn't die FROM" said
Sakes Alive.
"Ah, have it," 1t was Can You
Beat 1t Smith who spoke. Lets
discover foot ball. That will give
us two reasons for being thankful:
first, that we didn't discover foot
ball before, and second, that we
didn't get killed in a scrimmage."
me boys were strong Tor the idea;
they staged gridiron contest, u.s.
ing waffle iron for the purpose, be-
tween the two arms of the national
defense, and when it was over only
nineteen men out of the twenty-five
were hurt, and the wounds of these
consisted merely of shredded noses
and shipped ears and broken legs.
This didn't include the score-keeper,
and the score-keeper didn't count
If there had been few Serious
injuries their gratitude would have
been deeper, but as it. was a merry
time was had by all. And thus was
born, in the year sixteen-thirty or
thereabouts, the first snappy, up-to-
date Thanksgiving.-Cartoon Maya
zine.

Spanish Veterans
Order Springfelds

The Blackfoot post of United
Spanish War veterans recently re-
ceived an offer of stand of arms
from the U. s. arsenal stores, in re-
spouse to request they made of
Representative Addison T. Smith.
The rifles will be of the old Spring
field model, As caliber, numbering
20 in a stand. The price of these
rifles is reasonable and they have
been ordered by the local post.

CLOSING CITY POINT STATION

The Public Utilities Commission in a
decision in the matter of an informal
complaint with reference to the closing
of the station at City Point on the line of
the Maine Central Railroad, says that the
matter before them would not authorize
an order at this time either way and they
merely give voice in this informal way to
what they understand to be the necessi-
ties and concessions on both sides. This
arrangement may not be permanent and
the commission sincerely hopes it will
not. For the present the commission does
not feel warranted in instituting a COM
plant with reference to the closing of the
station.

THB OASIS

Pass me the chalice for my lips are dry.
Long in the desert have my footsteps
strayed,
The dim mirage has called me in the sky,
welcome the oasis with its shade.
Far meath the palm trees, wells that I
have sought
Have proved but phantoms when |
reached their SITE
Still forward wearily my way l fought,
Through heat of noon, and through the
desert night.
The bones of dead ambitions mark the
way,
Where broken, some have lain them
down to die,
gaze not on them nor my footsteps stay
But keep one vision clear before nv
eye;
Somewhere the crested palms will lend
their shade,
Somewhere the sparkling waters ever
sing,
And there the traveller that so long has
strayad,
May rest, his journey o'er, beside the
spring.
l know that somewhere in the future
waits
Great gifts to pay US for our journey
sore,
Within some city through whose open
gates
We glimpse the treasures that it holds
in store
We only need have courage by the way,
Nor falter at the terrors of the trail,
To know the dawning of perfect day,
And thrill with pleasure that shall never
fail.
