THERE is NOT so
MUCH OF 1T

People coming into Blackfoot to
buy goods, do not suffer so much
loss as they used to, by having
things disappear from their vehicles
while they 60 to get more. Lift
ing" packages while the owner is in
a store or around the block or while
he is in the picture show, is not SO
much in practice now as 1t has Deen.
Some people wonder what Is the
happy reason for it all, but nobody
is saving much about it. The fell
lows who practiced the art and got
cured are saying the least OF any
body. The dog that sucks eggs and
gets suddenly cured, goes into re-
tirement while he is getting over the
effects Of the dose, and he is wiling
to forget it and get his nourishment
in other ways if the chance Is open
to him. In fact he looks the other
way if he sees hens nest.
The same thing is true Of number
of persons who used to get their liv-
ing by lifting it out of other people s
cars. They are willing to forget the
practice and stay in retirement II
only certain other wise parties will
refrain from any further application
of the cure or publicity for what has
already happened.
A new phase of the subject has de-
yeloped, and we suggest a remedy.
mere is getting to be so many autos
that look alike, it often happens that
people rush up to their car, (sup-
posedly) but in reality the car next
to theirs, put their packages in and
hurry away without knowing their
mistake. When they come back to
their own car in two minutes or two
hours, the goods are not In their
cars and it looks mysterious. The
owner of the car next to theirs, does
not know whose goods are borrowing
a ride with him, and he never finds
it out. We suggest that people tie
some little coIored tags or strings or
have any marks of Identification in
conspicuous places on their cars to
help them guard against mistakes
in general appearance, and then II
losses occur, report it promptly to
The Republican office giving list OF
the articles. Anyone finding goods in
their cars that might be due to such
mistakes, are requested to report 1t
to our office for Investigation by
comparisons with complaints Of
shortage. We believe that most OF
the troubles that come up now car
be Strengthened out on this plan and
the goods returned to the owners

Mystery club on their good, salts

offenders will come to the commun
ity and will need manhandling tt

GERMAN RADICALS
SLAIN IN REVO[TS
SOLDIERS FIRE UPON GREAT
MOB AS 1T CHARGES DOWN
ON THE REIcHSTAG.
Radicals Attack Handful Of Soldiers
Opposing Them, But Reserves
Are Ordered Out and Twenty
Deaths Result From Rioting.

Berlin.-One of those "gentle and
harmless" mobs which the defenders
of Bolshevism say should not be met
with armed opposition, but with kind
illness and understanding, was given
an opportunity on January ID, to dem
onstrate freely before the reichstag in
protest against the so-called exploita-
ton law. ae
Twenty of the mob are dead and
more than 100 wounded.
The occasion of the demonstration
was the second reading in the upper
house Of the act creating factory coun-
ellis in the reichstag. Independent So
cialists declare that the act does notl
meet the demands of the workmen,
and Die F'riheit, a radical socialist
organ, published an appeal in the name
of fifteen unions-some unions say
without authority-to all wOrkmen to
stop work at noon and assemble In
front of the reichstag at 3 o'clock.
Inch by inch, radicals In the front
ranks forced the police to give more
ground. Then, with only a handful
of troops opposing them, the radicals
| tore away rifles, knocked the soldiers
down, kicked their heads and chests
and threw the helpless over the balus-
trade to the concrete pavement eight
| feet below. s l
The soldiers hadn't attempted to use
their. arms but their comrades COM
ing to the rescue fired shots over the
heads of the mob. After moments
hesitation they, too, were attacked.
The reserves were ordered out. They
fired into the mob and used machine
guns.

WILL PAY BALTIC DEMANDS.
Germany Agrees to Replace Property
Destroyed by Troops.

Berlin.-Admiral Hopman, the Ger
man governments plenipotentiary in
the Baltic tangle, has signed an agree
ment covering General NiessePs de-
mand for replacement Of the prop
erty removed and destroyed by the
troops of General Won der Goltz in the
Baltic states. The troops violated a
contract regulating their evacuation
into Germany.
Technically, the admirafs action
terminates the affair, but General
Messed will remain in Berlin until
notified that his officers have left the
frontier and the trains and ammuni-
ton promised to the Baltic nations

THE GARRY
ON"

AS a people we are proud or
Americas record of unselfish dealing
in a world we'll supplied with self
centered, struggling nations, and yet
it has taken downright hard work
to collect the money. AS a matter
of course we leave it to George or
or somebody else to stir up our SYM
pathies in a cause and persuade us
to donate. After we have parted
with the cash we feel good about it
feel that we are some benefit to
the world, humble as we may be.
We are not walking around the block
to avoid the beggar on the sidewalk,
neither are we looking up the alleys
for objects Of charity.
Since the post-bellum year of re-
construction Just past there is a
tendency to rest from our giving.
Much was asked of us and we gave
much. Being relieved of the burden
of war we were the more ready to
give aims when it was asked. 1t was
sort of thanks offering.
Then the year passed and it was
sufficient to bring us back to normal,
and it is going to take an effort to
keep from slipping over to reversal
of the quality of our charity. Many
of us have never persuaded ourselves
that giving is policy with us. We
think each instance is a special case.
We make the solicitors show us that
it is special case.
With hunger in Armenia and Eu-
rope not recovered far enough from
want to be of much help, large
American society of Near East Relief
is taking care of the starving Armen-
ians. We are being asked to stick
by our habit of giving. 1t is said
that American generosity is respon-
sible for the fact that there are two
million Armenians alive today after
centuries of persecution by the Turk
American relief is received in the
Caucasus by William Fl. Haskell, an
appointee of the president 1t is a
cause worthy of Americas generos.

VALUE IN GETTING
AWAY

There is value to a business man
in getting away fro mhis work. Too
many managers keep SO close to their
tasks that they get blind in spots and
fail to see some of the big phases
of their work.
The doctor who keeps up to the
latest, steps of advancement in his
profession finds it necessary to make
at least one trip year to some fam
Gus hospital to attend clinic lectures
and demonstrations. Any profess
sion as whole makes more progress
than one individual. e<r

Six Years to Gust Liquor.

Chicago.-Six years from now the
United States will be as dry as the
enthusiastic prohibitionists expected 1t
to be when congress passed the dry
law-and not before that time. 1t Is

special body of sleuths armed with the

the moisture out of the land. In SIX
years it is hoped that the composite
craving of the country for alcohollc
stimulants will be entirely extinct.
