WHAT'S WHAT
by HELEN DECIE

Selfconsciousnes fancies that the
eyes of the world are fixed upon its vir
tues and defects. AS a matter of fact
the world is too busy to pause for moro
than moment of criticism. Napoleon
died and the earth still turned on it's
axis" We walk, we talk. we worry, we
boast and the world" goes on minding
Its business. Self-consciousness trips the
tongue and cripples the feet. 1t chains
the wings of thought. It embarrasses tho
self.conscious one and annoys those who
would be his friends.
Bashfulness, so called, does not al.
ways represent modest t!mldity. Too
often Il Is merely the expression of an
intense self-consciousness, n habit Of
worrying too much over what other
people think of us. This develops a nerv
Gus awkwardness of speech and gait
and an, uneasy, even a scared manner,

many times and we in theirs during
these three years and we were fatii-

they lived. During the summer of
1915 I noticed the open condition ot
their cistern, and the long dead stag

quently and told them Of the dan

no attention to my warning, and when
Ed took sick in August, he mem

careless with the water. He was sick
about two weeks, not bed fast, before
we took him to the hospital in Twin
Falls, where he died in about two
weeks after being taken there. Rob

laughed at her. They were still as-

WOMAN, INJURED


Last Sunday night after services
at Bethany church northeast Of town
Edward Schupbaek, sen Of Geo.
Schupback, cranked his car prepar-
ing to 60 home and in some manner
the gears were in reverse and the
car shot backward knocking Mrs.
Luther B. Owens down, dislocating
her shoulder and otherwise badly
bruising her A doctor was called
to set the shoulder, and At this time
she is reported to be resting easily.
No blame can be attached to Schup-
back as the gears were in neutral
when he left the car. Apparently
the car had been tampered with by
some one who was sitting in the car
during his absence.
