Papers Consolidated.

With it's issue of October 6, the
News at Bellevue, this state, ceased
to exist, the proprietor, Harley O.
DoOlittle, having sold the circulation
to his competitor, Clyde Shaw, of
the Advertiser, and the latter will
consolidate the two publications.
Not enough patronage to support two
newspapers is given as the reason
for. the change, and is believed
that the one remaining paper will
find ample support, and be able to
give Bellevue much better publica-
ton. Both publishers having been
getting out very credible editions
heretofore, however, but the town
is not very large and the patronage
necessarily limited, and neither pa
per was making profit under COM
petition.

Story Of Hard Work And Its Results.

Two years ago last June, G. r.
Lamb purchased lib acres of land
nine miles from Black foot, west of
Moreland, and at the time it was
sage brush covered, with little to
commend it to the prospective farm
er. The story of Mr.. Lambs sue
cess is but one of many of hard work
in the developments of the Gem state,
but it is one of the stories that never
grow old in the telling This year
he cultivated ninety-siX acres, sew
enteen acres being too high for irri-
cation from the bitches he had con-
structed. There We're sixteen acres
of oats which threshed oat 66l BUSH
els, but of the sixteen lfe cut only
twelve acres. But it is not of the
oats this article is telling. Eighty
acres of wheat gave yield of 223l
bushels or twenty-eight bushels to
the acre, had there been one bushel
more. This is one of the best stories
of yield on new ground we have
and bear evidence of what
untiring effort combined with. Idaho
soil will do toward producing crop.

Chance For Pure Food Devotees.

The so-called soft drink resort.
which seems only be a blind for the
conducting of ''Blinder Pigs might
be done away with by legislation in
the various states on the ground
that the aforementioned soft drinks
are injurious to the health. This
would be another step toward en-
tirely crushing out the liquor .busi-
ness, for if it was not for the soft
drink resorts there would be no
chance to slip tea ''ginger ale"

a law prohibiting the sale of any

Soft Drink Resort Raided.

Last Saturday evening Deputy
Sheriff Kestner, Chief of Police Max
Smith and Ed Jones went to Shell
ley, and raided one of those damna-
BILE soft drink resorts. The place is
owned by Ira Wadsworth, and when
the place was being raided by the
officers the bar slave attempted to
kick the bottle of booze over, but
Deputy Kestner was too quick for
him and grabbed the booze before it
could be spilled, thereby securing
some good evidence against the pro-
prietor of the place. Tuesday Wads
worth was arrested and arranged
before Probate Judge Anderson who
placed him under $500 bonds to >ap-
pear for preliminary hearing on
the oath inst. There should be a
state law, whereby soft drink re-
sort could be made to discontinue
business when once they are caught
selling booze.

EVIDENCE OF GROWTH IN
THE CITY OF BLACKFOOT

There is submitted below the
standing of the Blackfoot schools at
the close of the first month for the
past three years and the present
year. The gradual growth is source
of general 'congfatulation to all. 1t
will be noted that the growth of
this year over last is not great but
this can be explained by the fact
that there are just now a great many
pupils out of all the grades on ac-
count of the extra heavy crops of all
kinds i'll this locality. Our school
census shows nearly 1900 pupils in
the district of school age as COM
pared to 1868 last year.
The great growth in the high
school continues and it is certain
ty that there will be enrolled in our
high school $50 more by the
end of next month. We have now
the largest enrolment of any high
school in the state except Boise and
Ceour D'A]ene and will pass the lat
ter when we remove to the new
building.
Blackfoot is fast becoming a
school center. More than fifty young
people from the surrounding dis
tricts are now enrolled in the high
school and more coming every day.
Several of the outlying districts
are contemplating joining this dis
trict and running school wagons out
to gather the children. The one
wagon now in operation has proven
so very satisfactory that no one
doubts the efficiency of the plan. 1t
would be saving to most Of the
country districts within radius of
ten miles to join with Blackfoot for
school purposes and they would be

Editor Optimist,
Blackfoot, Idaho.
Dear Sir:
Three weeks ago today he suf-
fered a hemorrhage of the brain as
result of which little clot of
blood has remained in such a posi-
ton that it destroys the vision in
one half of each eye. Since then he
has suffered several severe hemor-
rhages from the Bowels, which left
him in very weakened condition.
He has no desire for food, in fact
any kind of food distresses him
very much and causes vomiting.
Today he seems weaker than he has
at all and his wife and children have
all come to Ogden to be near his bed
side. The doctors say that if he
does we'll it will be several months
before he can be attending to busi-
ness again.
Very sincerely yours,
LEROY E. COWLES.

1t will be noted that the average
attendance of this year is little
less than last year. This is because
during the last three weeks there
have been unusual absence on ac-
count of the haste with which the
crops are being rushed to market.
A remarkable change is evidenced
in the matter of tardiness and tru-
ancy. After the first month of school
in 1909 the present plan of treating
tardiness was adopted and the eff
cheney of this method is very cyl
dent. Under the present plan the
work of presentation of tardiness is
really in the pupils hands and they
are showing their responsibility by
reducing the tardiness to very low
figure. Nearly every case of the 38
of this year. was during the Fair
week when school assembled at
eight O'Clock. =.
The enrolment in the high school
at the end of the first month of
school in each OF the past three years
show as follows:
1908 1909 1910
6} 70 81
The enrolment for the same pc
'riod during 1911 is 129 Seventy
three of whom are in the Freshman
class. This would tend to show an
enrolment of more than 200 in the
very near future.

ANTI SKID TIRES
JUST AS NECESSARY

In recent interview j Hauyette
Michelin. head of the big tire works
at Midtown, New Jersey, stated that
the eratest drawback to more gen
eral use of anti-skids in this country
has been the added cost, as the mo-
torist already has q complete set OF
rubber tread tires, which he does not
want to discard. "As matter of
fact continued Mr.. Michelin, -four
Anti-Skid tires are not necessary, only
two being required to assure safe driv'
ing under all road conditions. One
anti-s1id should be fitted on one OF
the front wheels. and one on the OPP
posite rear wheel. If the driver sits
on the right side, then the best dis
position Of the anti-skid tires is one
on the right front wheel and one on
the left rear wheel, but If the car
drives from the left side. like REQ
cars and Fords, then the anti-skids
{ should be fitted to the left front and
right rear wheels. OF course the two
rubber tread tires that are removed
when the anti-skids are fitted may
be kept for spares for the two wheels
still carrying ordinary tires.
"The advantage Of the tire equip

cause the two antislsids prevent &C

and second, the two rubber trea'

They sang with sweet voices, showing
that the correct use of the voice re-
ceived proper attention in the Keo'
kuk school,
Mr. Hayden stated that in selecting
methods for teaching the children to
read music he held to indefinite prin-
ciples for guidance. He said that tone
and rhythm should always be taught
together and that all the facts OF
rhythm should be taught in phrases
of two or more measures; that tones
should be learned by imitation, and
that ladders. modulators, ETC., should
not be depended upon in teaching the
tones of the scale and the chromatic
| tones.
Tones are ear Objects he said,
! "and should be addressed directly to
/ the ear. The only signs that should
be used to represent tones are the
/ staff and notes, with which pupils
must become familiar in order to use
with freedom"
4 Mr.. Hayden took the same position
regarding the varieties of rhythm tina
have to be taught; that they shoule
be taught by imitation and that thu
children should memorize them IN
stead of depending upon the beatin'
of time and analysis for their main
stav. A great deal of interest wa
shown in the singing of the childrel
; and in the demonstration they gave
