 A very beautiful Uailletot, the creation of Bechoff- David, was of heavy black sat in cut on the long, graceful lines that are now so much used. The collar of the garment was a very deep sailor effect. terminating in wide lapels in the front, which fastened diagonally with sandsome enameled buttons. Outlining the collar and cuffs was a broad bias band of heavy black and white striped satin and the lin- ing was of rose messaline.
 One of the most modish tailor gowns that was shown was of rough and ready" material on the order of English Tweed. The prevailing tint was brown, mingled with white, and the short coat was trimmed in the bands of brown braid finished with real steel buttons. The skirt carried out the braid trimming at the hem and the model by it's chicness and style bespoke the Paquin copy. which it was.

 most enough food to supply all the
 other convict camps of the state. A government farm demonstrator
 who has just visited the farm declares
 that Warden Robbins Is doing work
 here that Is worthy the attention of all farmers in the community. It is
 especially important to the financial economies of the state.
 MT. Robbins produced last year 5000 bdShCio Ol HOin, OUT 6diiOHS Ol lasses and 5000 bushels of peas. l His corn yield was 40 bushels on the average to the acre. On the same ground with the corn he raised 10

reason for the production of this eel
ebrated play by Miss Roberts, for
many are the requests for 1t, for once.
some years ago, it played in Black
foot, and many who saw 1t thought
so highly of 1t that they requested
Mr.. Fox, the manager and advance
agent for Miss Roberts, to have his
star play it on Tuesday night. SO he
wired to Miss Roberts, stating the
many demands that had been made.
and "The Wicked Woman" will be
the opening play on Tuesday evening.
Mr.. Fox wishes the theatre-goers to
know that "The Wicked Woman" is
not the right title of this play, for
the correct title is "Forget-Me-Not,"
and 1t the vehicle that Jeffries Lewis
starred in and made such a tremend-

Stepheny de Mourivat there is on the

this play was purchased by her espec-
tally for this part when in Paris, and
is considered as the most beautiful
of any on the road.
Blackfoot is perhaps the only city
in Idaho that will see Miss Roberts as

Whereas; 1t has recently become

Day, and urge that the press of the
state direct public attention to the
observation thereof; that our people

from their homes make this day the

brance in the form of letter or
