TRINITY TOPICS

Trinity is neighborhood just south
west of Eudora and in the extreme
western part of DeSoto county. 1t is
a neighborhood of no mean reputa-
ton and is composed almost entirely
of white people and some most excel

nice schoolhouse and here your hum

The pastor of the Eudora Baptist
church, Bro. Tomlinson, held pro-
tracted meeting at Trinity school
house and the second day the con-

proved entirely too small, SO the peo-

and such meeting will not be soon
forgotten. God greatly blessed the

about so conversions is the result,

NO SERIOUS DAMAGE
Storm Of Monday Night far Less Severe
in DeSoto than Other Sections.

So far as ascertained, no serious
damage was done In DeSoto county
by the severe tropical storm that
swept from the Gulf Coast In north
erly direction last Monday night.
The wind in this vicinity attained a
velocity of about forty miles an hour,
which, together with heavy rain
that was falling at the time caused
some damage to crops.
The rain fall in this section was
much larger than was ordinarily sup
posed, a total Of 2:4o inches being
registered in the local rain guage.
However, most parts of the county
were extremely dry and the rain was
not unWelco e.
In the southern p irtion of Missis-
sippi-in fact in all the states along
the Mexican Gulf-the storm assumed
serious proportions and much damage
was wrought, even as far north as
Jackson. Many towns on the coast
were completely cut off from railway
and wire facilities for hours.
On Tuesday morning weather con-
ditions SO closely resembled those of
three years ago that a general feeling
of thankfulness prevailed when the
atmosphere cleared up in the after
noon and little complaint was heard
of the damage wrought,

Annie Cleveland, a niece of the late
ex-President Grover Cleveland, playing

matte.
The Salt Lake Herald of Aug. 9 offers
the following comment: THE play as
presented by Miss Cleveland and asso-
ciates is deserving of good patronage
on its merits. Miss Cleveland, always
charming and beautiful actress, never
looked sweeter than she did as the Col
onial Maid. Virginia Preston, and her
acting, as usual, was above criticism. /"
The Salt Lake Telegram says: "That
the play was well presented by Miss
Anna Cleveland and players was evil
dent from the rousing reception given
by the audience to the many exciting
scenes and sentimental situations.

macy Monday.

THE GOOD LUCK RANGE
This Paper Will Give Away One of
These Standard Ranges in
Contest

On another page of this issue will be
found notice of our Good Luck Range
Contest, which starts next week, in
which we offer to the lady receiving the
largest number of votes a Good Luck
Range. This range can be seen in one
of the display windows of the Oliver
Mckown hardware.
In each paper there is published
free coupon, which is good for limited
time for ten votes. Also a cash coupon
to be sent in with remittances for sub
scriptions. In every case in sending in
votes be sure to write plainly, to avoid
errors of crediting in this office.
We will announce through these col
umns each week the standing of all
contestants, and will little later give
the date of the closing.
The object of running this contest is,
of course, to increase our subscription
list. The past year has been year of
immigration, and we are unable to
reach, in short time, the many peo-
pie who have recently made their homes
with us.
Any lady can enter this contest, and
the result depends on the ability to get
votes. We will be willing to assist each
as far as possible by sending them the
names of subscribers in their locality,
by furnishing cash coupons for the re-
mittance of subscriptions, and the Civ
ing of information concerning the con-
I test.
Some lady is to win this beautiful
stove, and who it is depends entirely
upon the person herself. The ones who
start in early will of course have an ad-
1 vantage, so get busy at once.

BLACKFOOT FAIR NEXT WEEK
Annual Show of Products Gives Prom
ise Of Surprising Any Pre-
vious Exhibition

The fair at Blackfoot will be held the
coming week, from the 14th to the 18th
inclusive, and promises to excel any of
past years. Farmers of the American
Falls Carey tract who desire to attract
attention to their country will do well
to prepare an exhibit, as large num-
Der of land seekers, who expect to at
tend the Arco opening, will be on hand
to see what the country is capable of
exhibiting. With such crops as they
have this year it will be a mistake not
to make showing.
The Blackfoot fair, in stimulating in
terest in agricultural products, has be-
come one of the most useful institu.
tions in Idaho, and some of the best set
tiers in the southeastern part of the
state owe their presence here to a
chance visit to the fair, which is an un-
qualified object lesson in fertility, that
cannot be disputed.
The racing program will be the best
the fair has ever had. Advices from
the secretary states that five carloads
of running horses are already on the
ground. Other forms of amusement in
great variety have been provided, and
a pleasant and profitable time is as
sured all who may attend.
Pleasure, however, is not the object
which should be sought by the residents
of Aberdeen, Springfield and vicinity
so much as the benefits which will fol-
low display of farm products, such as
they can easily make. 1t is possible tc
advance the interests of their localities
so much by little effort that it will be
mistake not to make it.

ORGANIZES WESTERN BRANCH
Western Loan and Savings Company
Now Have a Local Branch in
American Falls

A local branch of the Western Loan
& Savings company has been organized
here, and will be welcomed by those de-
string loans for buying or building
homes, as this organization does away
with all inconvenience and delays for
merly encountered inmaking loans from
outside companies. The man who wants
to make a loan can now obtain the same
from home people on basis that is
genuinely helpful to him. There will
be no commissions to pay, and the only
charges the company makes in grant
ing loan are the necessary fees for
drawing and recording the mortgage
and examining the abstract of title.
To those building, the money will be
advanced in installments as rapidly as
the work progresses, and when the en-
tire loan has been made the borrower
begins to repay it in regular monthly
payments, which usually about equal
the rent of similar building. BY this
means the renter becomes a property
owner, and it will benefit number of
people who could possess themselves of
homes in no other way.
The officers of the company are: G.. S..
Ellinger, president; Arthur A. Smith,
vice-president; j. R. Clark, secretary;
w. H. Dawson, treasurer. The COM
pany appraisers are: w. H. Philbrick,
J. F. Kosanke and H. E. Hooker. The
company will be under the management
of the following board of directors
G. S. ElIinger, Arthur A. Smith. Mary
w. Keith, S. w. Oliver and R. L.
Tucker.
Applications for loans will be received
by the secretary of the company, and
as all the business is transacted at home
there will be no delay in consummat-
ing loans.

DEDICATE SCHOOL
BUILDING TODAY
Flag Raising and Reception
From z to 5 P. M.
Music, Dedication and Addresses From
7:30 to $780, New Structure Is
One of the Finest in
the State

The magnificent new school building
of the American Falls independent dis
trict will be dedicated today. The rais-
ing of the flag will take place at pm.
and the reception to patrons of the dis
trict from 2 to 5 pm. From 1880 to
$3.50 p. m. a musical program will be
given by the Auditorium Orchestra,
and at $3.50 Charles Johnson will dedi-
cate the building to the cause of educa-
tion.
Prof. Walter R. Siders, principal of
the Pocatello schools, and Prof. w. w.
Thompson, of American Falls, will de-
liver addresses. A report of the school
board, showing the cost of the building,
will close the exercises.
The building is credit to the district
and one of the finest in the state, and
the cost up to date is 9,284, with the
cost of digging cess pool yet to be
added. Eight rooms, accommodating
800 children, are completed, together
with one room in the basement, fur
nished with tables, to be used as
lunch room. Two other rooms in the
basement remain unfinished, but will
have to be completed next year to ac-
commodate the children of the district.
1t is altogether probable that these
rooms will be needed before the close
of the present year. Three years ago
three small rooms accommodated the
pupils. Eight rooms almost double the
size of the three are more crowded
than were the three, notwithstanding
two new buildings in remote parts of
the district have since been constructed
to relieve the congestion.
A high school course will be added
this year, providing four years course
and emitting graduates to entrance to
the State University. American Falls
will now have as good school facilities
and as good instruction as any public
school in the state provides, not except
ing Boise, Lewiston or Pocatelio.
