A CORRECTION

In our editorial of the failure OF
the Brunt Grocery Store in Idaho
Falls, recently, there was one fea-
ture of the situation we did not un-
derstand. Mr.. Brunt, who founded
the business, has retired from active
participation, being only minority
stakeholder at the time of the fail
ure. He has devoted his attention to
other business and is succeeding
and the little block of stock which
he still retained in the grocery bust
ness does not in any way involve
his solvency nor his good name in
the failure. The business was operat-
ed as cash grocery and was considt
cred all right until the crash came.
Even the wholesale houses that had
supplied their goods thru all the
years evidently considered them good
for any amount of goods they order
ed during the month. were caught
with very heavy losses. Mr.. Brunt
was in California at the time of the
failure and the business has been
managed for more than a year by
Wesley Thomas and upon him the
responsibility for the failure is said
to rest,

YULETIDE THORN TREE SAVED
Blooming Glastonbury, Subject Of
Beautiful Legends Of Christmas,
Was Doomed to Destruction.

0NE of the most beautiful legends
~ of Christmas is that of the Glas-
tonbury thorn: The thorn tree grew
at Glastonbury Abbey, in Somerset
shire, and was supposed to have de-
veloped from the staff of Joseph of
Arimathea. According to the legend,
Joseph came to Glastonbury and while
lie was resting on HILL afterward
known as Weary All HILL he stuck his
staff in the earth. The staff immedi-
ately grew green and budded, and at
Christmas time it blossOmed into
beautiful flowers.
One chronicler states that during
Queen Elizabeth's reign the thorn had
a double trunk, but that a somewhat
bigoted Puritan, who disliked the tree
because to his mind it smacked Of
popery, started to cut it down, and
succeeded in demOlishing one of the
trunks. A miracle rescued the re-
naming trunk of the tree by causing
chip of wood to fly up and hit the
Puritan in the eye, while at the same
time he slipped and cut his leg.
Later the tree was grubbed up, but
a number of smaller trees raised from
slips of the original are said to be
owned by persons in the neighbor-
hood.

HUNS MURDERED
CAR NICHOLAS
STATES WRITER
Sensational Association
Made by Englishman
3 on Revelations of
Russ Officer

LONDON.-Czar Nichols II, was
murdered by the Germans for mo-
tives of German policy and with the
connivance, if not the instigation, of
the German Government.
Such is the sensational assertion
Of John Pollock, son of one Of Bri-
tain's most eminent jnrists, and for
merly correspondent in the Baltic
for the Daily Express and Interna-
tional News Service.
Pollock made his charges in q
closely reasoned article in the Fort
nightly Review, one of Ehgland's
most conservative periodicals. The
assertion is based on the[ statement
of an officer companion of the Gear
with whom Pollock talked.
Germany, declared Pollock, was
engineering scheme for the abb
diction of Nicholas, the raising of his
son to the throne, and the appoint
ment of the Grand Duke of Hesse,
the ex-Empress's brother, as regent.
A further condition of the scheme
was the assurance that the son
should marry German princess.
Nicholas, in the Act of Abdica-
tion signed by Pskoy, had abdicated
the throne not only for himself but
for his son as we'll. 1t was proposed
that Nicholas be brought back to
Russia, where he would recant his
addiction as having been obtained
under pressure and then again
solemnly abdicate, but this time in
favor of his son.
The Cars reply to this proposal.
according to the office quoted by
Pollock was:
81 will not be traitor to my peo-
ple."
So the coup, whereby Germany
hoped to use the resources of Rus
STA to feed her starving population
and buttress her weakening western
front, was blocked. And Nicholas
and all his relatives who might have
had any knowledge Of the proposal
met their deaths at the hands of
Magyar assassins.
The story is, of course as complete
ly uncomfortable as are many other
reports that come out of Russia.

Sim FEM CLUB
AT CORK BURNED
Sim Fem Bank Also De-
stroyed by Armed
Band

DUBLIN, Dec. IA fresh wave of
incendiarism rolled over Southern
ireland today, following the Orgy
of bloodshed near Kilmichael when
II cadets of the auxiliary police
BLACK and Tans) were ambushed
and Is of them were killed outright
and one fatally wounded. The re-
naming cadet is missing.
The Sim Fein club at Cork was
burned to the ground. The Cork fire
brigade refused to fight the flames
unless given police protection. Fire
broke out in the Cork city hall and
later a jewelry shop was burned.
Shooting broke out in Cork while
the firemen were returning from the
Sim Fein club fire. There was a
heavy fusillade in the streets. A band
of armed and masked men burned
the Sim Fem bank in Harcourt
street, Dublin. A bomb was exploded
in the Hide merchants shops in Dub
lin and the building was wrecked but
there were no casualties. Reprisal
fires broke out in County Cork, fol-
lowing the killing of the police cad
cts. Nearly all of the houses at Kill
michael and in the immediate dis
trict were destroyed. Business is at
standstill.
Macroom where the bodies of the
dead police cadets we're taken, is
under heavy guard of troops. The
bulk of the population has fed, fear
ing reprisals.
Soldiers are combing County Cork
for the ambassadors who killed the
police cadets. There were nearly 100
in the attacking party. According to
information received by Dublin Castle
the attackers wore khaki uniforms
and trench helmets.

COURSE AT MOSCOW

UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO, Moscow

throws open tbs laboratories and
class-rooms for the use and instruc-
ton of the prospectors, miners, mill
men and smeltermen of the state and
the northwest.
The design of the short course is
to give all registrants in the school
valuable technical training to &C
company practical knowledge al
ready acquired. Instruction is given
by members of the regular faculty of
the school of mines and is entirely
practical in character, large portion
of the work being done in the lab
oratory.
Courses offered are as follows:
Elementary geology, mineralogy,
ore deposits, mining methods, fire as
saying, wet assaying, sampling, mill
design and the study of cyanidation,
amalgamation and flotation concen-
tratiOn.

Our CommerciaIized Christmas.

Christmas is the decoration day Of
commercial age. Then, as on no
other day, we face with compassion
those who have fallen in our battles
for wealth. For moment we think
of the thousands of children who have
no share in that easy life we give our
children, and must find the seasons
Joy in the charity dinner. Along with
the barter to which we have debased
our giving within our circle of &C.
quaintances, we play at extending the
spirit Of the day to those who are
the pawns of our industrial game. The
Salvation army lass, standing cold and
numb on the street corner, collecting
funds for Christmas baskets for the
poor, reminds us Of the wreckage left
in the wake Of our prosperity. We
give a trifle to help the poor temper
the bitterness Of the year with a
couple of hours good eating.

WOMAN SAYS INDIAN
VOTE ELECTED HER

MUSKOGEE, Okla.-Now that the
campaign rivalries have died away.
Miss Alice M. Robertson, Congress
woman-elect, from the Second Dis
trict of Oklahoma, doesn't mind tel
ling how she won. She won through
the Indians votes, she said recently.
and she won their ballots by-but let
her tell it.
when these Indians came into
possession of hundreds of acres of
fine lands through Governmental
gifts white men were after them to
defraud them of everything possible, p"
said the new congresswoman.
1.-THE Indians were induced to put
their cross on dotted line on some
pretex only to learn later they had
signed away their land for some pal
try consideration.
81 told these long-suffering In
dams that the League of Nations
was of the same character. | told
them foreign nations asked the Unit
ed States to sign on the dotted line
without asking for complete know-
edge of the deal. The Indians saw
the point at once. That's the reas IN
they voted for me and against the
League of Nations"
Miss Robertson is not the only
member of her family who is inter
ested in politics. Her nephew, James
R. Thompson, of Santa Barbara, Cal
il a Democratic member of the Cali
fornia Legislature. Her sister, Mrs.
Augusta Moore, of Haskell, Okla,
was defeated in the recent election
for County Superintendent of schools.
Mrs. Moore is Republican, too, and
was more interested in the new Con-
gresswoman's campaign than her
own.

Christmas Trees by Million

ATURSERYMEN grow large
~ quantities Of Norway
spruce for Christmas uses
rather more in the middle West,
where conifers are not common
in the woods, than on the east
ern and western coasts, where
they fringe every hillside. But
the tree most commonly used is
short-needle pine found in the
woods of Northern Michigan and
Wisconsin. Early in September
the Indians about the lumber
camps of this region are set to
work cutting these trees for the
market, and by early November
a little fleet Of vessels makes its
way down Lake Michigan, a
Christmas tree hauled to the
foremost of each one, that by
this sign all may know that in
their holds is a cargo which
might not tempt Captain Kidd,
but is far more precious than
many a one for which good ships
have been scuttleL.

WASHINGTON, May l1--President
Wilson's hitherto unpublished wal
instructions to the officers of the At
lantic fleet given in person on the
quarter deck of the flagship Pennsyl-
vania on August II, 1917 and bid
ding them "throw tradition to the
wind, strike the word prudent from
the vocabularies and do the thing
that is audacious to the utmost point
of risk and daring" were made pub
lie today by Secretary Daniels. The
president spoke as commander
in-chief Of the navv at time when
the German submarine menace was
uncurbed.
In laying the text of his remarks
before the Senate Naval inve jtioat-
ing committee, See. Daniels said they
showed the "bold and vigorous"
policy the president had outlined for
the navy. "Do not stop to think what
is prudent for moment" the presi-
dent said, "you will win by the au-
dacity method when you cannot win
by circumspection and prudence. |
think there are willing ears to hear
this in the American navy and the
American army because that is the
kind of folk we arc"
