THE SCHOOL CHILDREN's
POTATO CLUB.


During the school trustees meeting,
County Superintendent Alice Beach,
trustees and speakers, spoke on the ad-
visibility of encouraging the school
children of the various districts to or

the children will not only receive prac-
tical instruction in one line of agricul-
ture but the monotony Of school life
will be materially decreased. School
District No. II had the children who
first acted on the suggestion and a
club was organized by them almost inn
mediately after the trustees meeting. L
G. Wells. the teacher in that district is
a practical farmer, owning land in that
vicinity and the boys and girls feel
that they have good instructor, one
who will enter into the work with the q
with will. Following are the names
of the members Of the club, to date:

the Albert Anderson ranch, four miles
northeast of Blackfoot, one of the
most progressive stock men in this
locality, will hold stock sale next

ly guarantees everything sold at the

year the increase Of the ranch Pros
pective purchasers Of good stock should
make 1t point to attend this sale
and enjoy the hospitality Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Taylor at their ideal stock ranch
near the foot hills.

count of having insufficient time in
which to prepare, as sickness took the
regular debatcr out Of the team at the
last moment and James had to work
up the subject in few hours.
The St. Anthony High School were
well represented by Messera Smith,
Davis and Wilmington. Mr. Smith was
a whirlwind. so to speak. He handl-
ed himself and his Subject like a vet

first place. The st. Anthony boys had

arguments and off-hand talking Black
