MISS MARY cAPPs WINS HoNoRs

Blackfoot was represented at the
State Declamatory Contest at Twin
Falls on Friday, April IA, 'by Mary
Capps who won second honors in the
humorous class.
The first honors in the humorous
class were awarded to American Falls
with Twin Falls winnimg first in dra-
matte and Pocatello second place.
Twelve of the most prominent high
schools of the state at first accepted
the invitation to meet in contest at
Twin Falls but during the past two
weeks four of them withdrew, thereby
causing one of the classes to have
only one contestant, which was the
oratorical. This contestant was from
Caldwell and of course won first hon
ors

ANNUAL EXHIBIT OF MILLINERY.

Easter Sunday was an ideal day
in Blackfoot and the churches were
we'll filled with the fair femininity
adorned i'm the latest creations of
the milliner's art. There were hat
shapes that mere man did not think
much of when he became wedged
between two of them with AN ear on
either side being cut with wide
brim, but it made the better halves
happy to have them and who can
deny them the pleasure of wearing
an inverted coal hod, or a lid with a
comtrivance ON the front end that
looks like a cow-catcher on a mogul
engine SO long as they are happy.
Collectively or separately the ladies'
of Blackfoot made pretty picture in
their spring attire and it was good
to see them
David Paul Brown says: A be-
coming deceCcy of exterior may not
be necessary for ourselves, but it is
agreeable to others--It is like the
polish of the diamond, taking some
thing perhaps from it's weight, but
adding much to it's brilliancy.

1t was unanimously agreed that Mr..
Peck's remarks were timely, and hit
the spot where she needed it most.
Mr.. Peck moved that the matter OF
