MONDAY NIGHT.

Monday night the Maud Henderson
company will open it's engagement
with that beautiful play, lover the
Ridge" There is a great scope for
dramatic work and no better vehicle
could have been chosen by the man
agement to display the ability of ev-
cry member of the company. There
is not one weak part in the entire
cast. The scenes are laid in Tennes-
see and the story hangs around the
fact that a quadroon slave has
changed two children in their infan-
cy, substituting a child Of another
slave for a wealthy painters and
keeping the secret until the children
have grown,
The white child has grown up in
ignorance of it's parentage and has
become very wealthy through owning
a valuable mine. The other child
has been brought up in luxury and
has a position of trust in his guar
dams bank. He betrays his trust
and wrecks the bank through specu-
lation. The quadroon has kept her
secret, but discloses it to the colored
boy, in an endeavor to obtain black
mail and also a spirit of revenge on
her old master. The truth comes out
in a startling manner and the
wronged boy saves the bank and car
ries off the coveted prize in the per.
son of the bankers daughter. The
story is strong in love, hate, devo-
ton and pathos. A good line of COM
edy is in~terspersed, making "Over the
Ridge a truly good story. Remem-
Der program changes nightly and
cover the Ridge" will only be seen

WHY is THIS LEAP YEAR?

Leap year-the year that belongs
exclusively to the young lady by ira
dition as we'll asecedent. But why
is a leap year a leap year? and what
makes a year leap. Leap means to
Spring" This is the spring year
when the Leap Year maidens spring
it on the bashful man of 1911, 1910
and 1909.
The following may cast some light
on the Leap Year problem as to why
and the wherefor.
Any boy or girl who has had schol-
astic advantages knows that leap year
belongs to solar year system. Those
more advanced know that civil and
astronomic time are made equal by
adding a.day every fourth year-and
that this makes leap year. But every
body does not know that the year is
eleven minutes and twelve seconds
short of 1854 days. The result Of
this showed a long time ago that ev-
cry four years civil time became
faster than solar time by the amount
stated. To be exact, this was only a
small fraction of a year. The man
who is a stickler for splitting hairs
will tell you that this is .00778 of a
day. But this little bit figured up
considerably in the course of centur-
les. After 1900 years of this time
had been consumed an Italian astron-
omer, Iloysius Lidus, discovered that
the error amounted to ten days. That
is, civil time was ten days before the
solar time.
Thereupon, Pope Gregory XIII, de-
creed that ten days should be cut out.
This made October 5 show up on the
calander as Oct. Is. Then, to pre-
vent future errors, it was ordered
that every hundredth year should not
be counted as a leap year unless the
number of the year was divisible by
four hundred without remainder.
That explains why 1900 was a leap
year, and 1900 and 1900 not.
And also 1900 was not leap year; but
1000 will be.-Ex.

A man in Fremont county had of,
fered his farm for sale at SIS per
acre for several years, but could find
no purchaser. Finally he rented 1t

land to potatoes. When harvest time
came the owner of the farm made the
young men the offer to deed to them

liver all their potatoes to him on the
car ready for shipment. They ac-
copied the offer and when the pota-
toes were turned into cash the owner
had received SITS per acre for the
land and the young men had a rat

This is an actual and bonafide trans

The village council is considering
the matter of submitting to the peo-
pie the question of bonding to get
money to grade and drain the streets
of the village AMI for steel c~ulverts.
The matter is being pressed by a
large number of citizens who take
the view that as it is all earth work
and shallow. it will be inexpensive,
and great advantages will follow.
They favor the bonding proposition
because the burden of laying out the
town, making preliminary improve
ments and establishing schools and
other public necessities presses heav-
lily upon the first settlers, and it Is
better to bring in some new money
to give employment to local people
while the work is going on than to
have to raise it themselves o rsuffer
the disadvantages of streets in their
present condition.

period where WI must tax u brains
to the utmost in order to compete
with the difficulties before us. Exam
nation week with all it's ups and
downs is upon us. BY those who
have kept their studies up to the
standard it is looked upon as a joke
while by those more backward it is
looked upon either as a sort of sal
walton or a signal of their immediate
doom. However as these Quizs will
only count about rs per cent on their
grades it is mot such a terrible catas-
trophe after all.
To the parents of Blackfoot who
have children at the age of six years
or above who have not entered them
yet upon the regular school rolls, may
do so on next Monday morning. The
regular mid-year class for beginners
will begin then.
Preparations for the debating sea-
son are fast being developed and
from the material we have at our Sc
lection we hope to bring out a cham
pionship squad.
There are only two Old men left
SO that keen competition will be ex-
Ell cised in order for new members to
secure places.
Great interest is being taken in all
the class debates, and some excellent
new material is showing up, which
will undoubtedly make the old men
hustle to retain their respective
standings.
Basketball is at present holding the
united interest of the school. On Fri
day the boys have a league game
scheduled at Rigby, and ON Saturday
will play a practice game with Kicks
Academy at ReXburg.
Keen competition has been held for
all positions and only this morning
was the squad to take the trip, defin-
ately decided upon. Those who will
undoubtedly make the trip besides
Mr.. Vanderhoof as members of the
faculty will be the following: Will
Parkinson, center; James Adamson,
Earl Miller, Jake Quillln, forwards;
Bert Remington, Amos Taylor, She
lomi Van Blaricom, guards.
In the practice game last night the
faculty team was defeated by the
High School team by a score of SO to
81. The lineup for the faculty con-
sists of Fred Kiefer, center; P. H.
Benson, C. Vanderhoof, forwards; w.
D. Vincent, c. H. Mcdonald, guards.
With a little more practice in order
to reduce their surplus weight etc.,
this team will undoubtedly be heard
from.
There has been a good deal of in
terest taken in regard to the night
gymnasium classes that we are going
to start one Immediately. The first
class will begin next Tuesday night.
The regular nights for this will be
Tuesday and Thursday nights. These
classes will be for outsiders only for
the benefit of business men who are
unable to acquire enough exercise by
other means. An admission of $3.50
per month will be charged.
There has been considerably in
quiry i'm regard to the woman's class
es but no definite steps have been
taken. If there are any women in
terested, let them meet at the gym
on Tuesday night along with the men
when definite steps will be taken.
