ALL AFTER. THE "KICK.

Consider that two newspapers
are before you The headings to
the articles on the first page Of /
are modest A sensationl scare
head" in big type stretches across
the first page OF the other paper.
Which one will on read first?
Nine people out Of ten will
make a dive for the sensational
sheet, because there is a chance
for a thrill. They may question
the accuracy of its statements,
but they will read it. That is a
condition which faces the news
paper field todaya condition
which the country press is COM
batting daily at financial sac
rifice. This is an age of thrills,
and the public demands to be
properly thrilled, especially in tbs
large centers of population. If
the editor doesn't come across
with his thrills the people do not
come across with their money.
Take the Fatty Arbuckle case.
The Legitimate news element in
that unsavory mess could have
been contained in column ar
ticle. Instead, the daily press
devoted page after page to it,
dwelling at length upon everv lit
tie insignificant incident. Moth
ing was omitted. IT was indecent,
therefore it was thrilling, and in
demand A rich man and his wife
returned from Europe. They
were estranged. Immediately the
fact was spread over the first |
page Of their home papers, and |
columns were devoted to vul- |
gar displav of their unhappiness.
Why? Not because the editor
glories in that sort of thing es-
pecially He knows it is the kind |
Of stuff the people of his city
want. 1t is the stuff that sells
his papers. It is nauseating, de-
basing, therefore thrilling and in
demand. The poor devil Of a
city editor is not entirely to
blame for this condition. He de
ponds upon his salary to feed his
family, and his salary is forth
coming only as along as he makes
good ON his job IF he doesn't
kick in with the stuff he is kick
ed out into the street
The local country paper does
not resort to such practices 1t

nary estimated yield of spring
wheat in Idaho this year This

els and total wheat crop of "a,
$4,000 bushels when combined
with the winter wheat crop al
ready harvested. This still ex-
ceeds former state records by
nearly million bushels. Smut,
and hot, dry weather at critical
periods reduced earlier prospects,
as otherwise this would have been
banner year for wheat produc-
ton. Quality is "a per cent, same
as last year
Correspondents estimate that
At per cent, or IL, $4,000 bushels

WOMEN DRAW LINE.

The womanhood of California
has revolted. 1t is even possible
that the womanhood of Americ
may fall in line.
Twenty-Five thousand Califor-
mia women have protested against
the showing of films in which
Fatty Arbuckle appear, or any of
the others who we're involved in
the Al*nckle- Rape escapade.
The womanhood of America has
suffered much through the vul-
gar debauches Of these men of
sudden wealth and fame. 1t is
not only the degrading influence
thew have upon the women with
whom they come in contact, but
the generation in its teens is be-
smirched by having them and
their escapades paraded before
their juvenile eyes.
True, twenty 1--WE thousand is
only small err centage Of the
women of California, or Of any
other state. But it is beginning
and if it continues to grow it viii
have a great and purifying end
ing. Thev are to be commended.
Their cause is righteous and
should prevail.

Possibly the widest good re
suIting from the very successful
stock show and fair, held here
last Friday and Saturday, is the
lejuvenating effect this getting
together of the prairie folk will
hahve upon their business and So
cial relations. The atmosphere
about that two-days' event i'm
pressed one with a feeling of
thrift and plenty emphasized
again and forccfully the richness
OF this rich plateau district and
its ability to recover from stress
SEES much more quickly than most
other sections OF our country.

A hard winter is said to con-
front us, and fewer people are
prepared to meet it than usual.
But with such a prospect the
strong will be called upon to
stand forth and protect the weak,
and it is such trials as we may
know during the next six months
that add to the ranks of the
strong. While this condition may
not bring cheer to many as they
90 through the experience, ulti-
mately normality will be attain
ed and those who have learned
self-denial and thrift and have
stood the test Of the pinching or
deal will feel doubly repaid and
glad withal. Another good sea-
son will find our country with its
head well above water and ready
to go ahead

week reports very successful
stay and splendid cooperation on

at that place in behalf of the
work. The station had favor
able location at the entrance. The
spirit of the people and the fair
management was fine. The Red
Cross was made welcome and all

Much was done besides the first
aid eases. Mothers were wide
awake to what could be done for
the children, and SO were meas
ured on the first dav and nearly
as many ON the second day. Par
ents were very grateful and APP
preciative Of the efforts made in
behalf of the children.
The fair gave a splendid par
ade and the Red Cross had a.

AVERT GREAT
 RAIL STRIKE
 IN GERMANY

Berlin, Dec. 31-A national railway strike appeared today to have been averted as a result of the tnterven- ton of Chancellor Wirth. The situa- ton fin Western Germany is still seri- ous but the government is working to improve it. The strikers demand : ed a wage increase. The walkout had the support of the Communists.
 Herr Ka1t, leader of the German strikers in the American zone of mtl1- tary occupation has been arrested for issuing a proclamation to the rail employees urging them to take neces- sary measures to attain their de- mands. The municipal economic board at Coblenz has issued a warn ing to the people that the supply of bread and milk is threatened by the strike.
 The troubles began with 8 sporadic outbreak of local railway strikes in Western Germany. Communists were said to be responsible. The strikes spread until all Western Germany is threatened with traffic paralysis and Berlin itself faces isolation.
 The German government is at tempting to effect a settlement

Woman Injured In Auto Mishap
 Died Today

Mrs. Edith L. Sullivan. of 726 Brooks street, who was seriously in jured on the night of December 26, when an automobile in which she was ,riding struck a brick post at Congress and Harrison streets, died early this morning in St. Vincent's hospital.
 Besides Mrs. Sullivan, there were two other persons, Daniel Sullivan, the driver, and Mrs Ruggles, also of 726 Brooks street in the machine at the time of the accident. in a state ment made to the police, Sullivan claimed that the steering gear on his automobile broke when he attempted to turn the corner. He said that he was going about 20 miles an hour. Sullivan, who was also seriously in juTed will be operated on today.
 A coroner's inquest will be held Tuesday, if Sullivan is in condition to testify. This seems doubtful at the present time.
 Before her marriage to MT. Sul~ Hvan about six years ago. Mrs. Sul- lvan was Lola Ruggles Burns, widow of James B. Burns. who for some time was known as a political power in the West End. He was a prominent contra CtOr and at one time an alder man in the Fourth district. Her father, Albert Ruggles was a police officer here for many years.

 The Red regiment attacked the KareIians concentrated in the town of orajervi, near the Murmansk rail- way. They were repulsed. Then the Kare1ians opened counter attack which put the Soviet regiment to flight.
 Kare1ia, the scene of the latest Rus sian war" lies in the extreme north western corner of the Soviet republic. It occupies parts of the Russian gov ernment's OK Petrograd, Clonete and Archange1, the boundary extends westward to Finland and eastward to the White Sea. The Karelians are of Finnish stock.
 The fighting began when Finnish forces joined the Kare1ians with the evident purpose of annexing Karlian soil to Finland.

Washington, Dec. 31-The huge warships and other vessels doomed to destruction under the limitation of armament plan, probably will be salv- aged and not thrown away complete ly, it was indicated today in British quarters Salvage Of the material in the condemned ships, and prolong ation of employment for shipyard workers are essential features of plan which is understood to be un der consideration.
 This is the first intimation as to what method of elimination would be selected by the arms conference eX- perts. It is only tentative, but there are strong reasons why it is likely to be favored. Because in every coun- try concerned, unemployment is a serious factor in the entire problem. Scrapping the vessels literally would mean a long period of work for skill ed men who might otherwise be thrown on the rocks.

Americas E onom 1 c Pulse Grows Stronger, As Frank White Re- views Business COnd1- lions Of Past Year.
Rv H. K. REYNOLDS.

Washington, Dec. 31-The economic pulse of America is growing stronger as the old year dies, Frank White, treasurer of the United States de- cIared today in predicting better times ahead" and a substantial inn provement in financial and industrial conditions during the coming year.
 White urged the lifting of restr1c- tions in the money market and as- serted that an extension of bank credit was absolutely necessary. He contended that money conditions to- day indicated a business revival which could be continued in 1922 with the help of the big financial institutions.
 America enters the new year un- der peculiar financial conditions, White said. tI feel that the nation has passed the bottom of depression and that better times are ahead
 ''The currency in circulation is the barometer of the nations industrial activity. During active times when business is fourishing, a large volume of currency is needed. In prosperous dimes large amounts of money re- main in the peoples hands.
 "'In 1920, the maximum per capita was reached-nearly S60-and it also was the peak of industrial activity.
 Tn 1921, the reverse occurred. Money left the pockets of the people. There was g. reduction of almost one billion dollars in the money circu- of depression. The per capita was about $52 for the year.
 '"The great volume of money com ing to the treasury was for redemp- ton. The Federal Reserve banks sent in money for credit rather than for reissue. This volume has re- mained practically stationary for the last three months.
 a business revival if money restric- tionS are removed. Business must get better; surely it can't get worse.
 ''The readjustment of prices is al Iu Accumulated . reserves must be loosened. It is ab- soluteIy necessary that there be an extension of credits. The banks have a larger cash reserve now than g. year ago. This money must be put back intD circulation and the return to nokmalcy will follow"

Police Rout
 Bogus Agents
 With Bullets

New York. Dec. st-Fifty boot 1eggers, bearing bogus custom officers badges, were put to rout today when they attempted to raid the liquor laden vessels docked in the East Riv- CT. Five government agents and po- lice took part in the battle which ragged along the water front for more than an hour. Many shot were fired on both sides.
 In the first fight, on the United Fruit Line steamer Tivives one man was seen to jump overheard to escape the officers He is believed to have drowned
 Just as the raid on the first vessel was frustrated the agents were called to the steamer Mexico of the Ward Line, which bootlegsers had boarded. They were routed, took refuge in 0 nearby restaurant. The agents and police broke into the restaurant and clubbed members of the gang but all escaped
 Recent rise in the price of nquor from $s to S20, and the proximity of New Year celebrations is believed to have prompted the bootleggers to make their daring attempts.

France Cannot Understand
 Denial Of Protection While
 Britain MGin tains Big NaUy

Paris. Dec. s1-(By the A. D. The French delegation at Washing ton, it was understood in official quarters here today, already has given hearty assent to the application of international law to the operation of submarines, which. in the French interpreta ton satisfies the demand of Great Britain that submarines in time of war be prohibited from tor pedoing merchant ships.
 '-The idea that France might some day want to use the torpedo, as it was used in the case of the Lusitania, is absurd" said a high official at the Quay D'Orsay to the Associated Press correspondent today.
 Official comment on the British at titude toward the French delegation concerning the submarine issue was refused, but it was apparent that of ficiaI circles were much surprised at what they termed the sharpness of tone in the comment of Arthur J. Balfour. head of the British delega- Sion.
