ELKS And ODD FELLOWS
TO PLAY BENEFIT BALL

The Elks of Pocatello and the Odd
Fellows of Blackfoot will cross bats
Sunday at the fairgrounds before the
biggest crowd of the season, because
it is going to be a good ball game
and because ii Is a benefit game, the
proceeds of which will go to man
whose health and vigor vanished a
year or more ago, and he is unable to
do any work or conduct business in
any degree of activity. This gentle
man is w. H. Kestner, commonly
called DOC" by the hundreds of
friends up and down the line.
Mr.. Kestner is member of both
the orders named, and leading spirits
in the lodges thought out the happy
plan of entertaining the public in
the national gone, game that has
always been popular with Mr.. Kest-
ner and in which he has acted as UNI
pire scores of times when he was in
vigorous health.

FIRE DOES DAMAGE
TO FARMERS MILL

At 1880 Thursday the Blackfoot
mill was found to be on fire and but
for the prompt action of the fire COM
uany it would have been lost. Ex-
tensive repairs had just been made
an. it had been in operation again
but one day. The fire started In
the dust collector, and appears to
have been the result of spontaneous
combustion. The upper story was
badly charred by the flames, and the
water did considerable damage to ev-
erything below.
The building filled with dense smoke
and the fire was not discovered un-
til it reached the first floor. Prompt
action was taken to close the build
ing to stop the draft, and this aided
in smothering the fire, making short
work of the flames when burst of
water reached it. The pressure was
good and there was no trouble in ap-
plying it after the hose was dragged
up to the top of the building. The
loss was covered by insurance, u~~
is the second fire of this kind in the
history of the mill, the first one hav-
ing occurred in 1895.
Manager Capps informs us that the
mill will be out of commission only
a few days, and in the meantime they
will handle wheat as usual and will
be able to supply the trade with -four.

Thanks Everybody

The members of the milling COM
pany wish to express their heartfelt
thanks to the fire department and to
the citizens generally who respond
so promptly and offered every assist
ance. They also appreciate the or
derly conduct of the crowd, observ-
ing every request made in handling
goods and in the control of doors to
govern the draft.

ABERDEEN LADY
LEADS in CONTEST
She Did it by Taking Subscriptions for
The Idaho Republican

Miss Marie Tiahrt Of Aberdeen
went to the head of the list this week
in the piano contest, and Miss Bertha
Anderson of Pingree won a prize for
writing the best article. 1t is print
ed below, and will interest all our
readers.
Several contestants made large
gains this week, but the one who
turned in the most subscriptions to
the Republican is the one who had
the most votes by long odds.
Mr.. John Boyle of the firm of Beak-
ley & Boyle won the four-dollar prize
for being the first to report which
word was mis-spelled in the Valley
Supply company's advertisement. Mr..
Boyle was correct in saying the word
guaranteed" was spelled wrong. He
reported by telephone at 1880 Friday
afternoon, and was followed by r. H.
Hoare of Thomas, Clarence Cherry,
Victor4Stone, Mrs. Lizzie Killian, Va
da an4Slor and others.
Nobody won the missing word prize
although we had many reports on it.
1t was~in the next to the last para
graph, and originally read, "and we
keep that always in mind in serving
our country customers" Country"
was the word left out. and we have
concluded that it was too hard puz-
zle to give the readers an even chance
The Club Cigar store have unique
offer in their half page ad. in this is
sue.
Nearly all the coupons came in
this week without any marks to
identity them, and no award was
made for the firms issuing the most,
but If firms issuing them will mark
them the awards will be made next
week.
The The following is Bertha An
derson's prize letter:
The Way to Encourage a Contestant
Pingree, Idaho.
Aug. 80, 1918.
The best way to encourage con-
testant is to tell her, you are very
glad that she has entered the piano
contest and that you will give her all
your votes, and help her tosecure
other votes, by asking the help Of
your friends, them that she isn't ac-
quainted with.
If you are not already subscriber
of the Idaho Republican tell her
you will subscribe for it. And If you
can help her to get other subscrip-
tions, you will. gladly accommodate
her by doing so.
Tell her you think that she is just
as popular and as favorite a young
lady as you know anywhere in the
country, and that if she gets out
among the people and works diligenr-
ly and continuously until the contest
closes, that you think and also hope
that she will win a piano by a great
majority.

HOME FROM LONG TRIP

j. L. Dumas returned home Mon
day after an absence of ten weeks,
which he spent in attending the
meeting of the field men of the Blu
reau of Farm Management Of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture at Washington, d. c., the Ma
tional Corn Show and the annual
meeting of the American Breeders
association, both held at Columbia,
s. C. He then visited a number of
points in Georgia, Alabama, Louisi-
ana, Texas, Arizona, and California.
He says that the Corn Show was
unique in that it was completely di-
vorced from all boosting schemes
and fakirs of any kind. No conces-
sions were granted and advertising
was tabooed. The exhibits were not
confined to corn, but included all
kinds of agricultural products. Very
instructive exhibits, showing the
work which is being carried on at "a
state experiment stations, were dis
nlayed. The local station confined Its
efforts to showing the results at
taineed in the breeding of wheat,
barley and oats and illustrating the
western methods Of growing and
packing fruit by means of moving
pictures and lantern slides, spraying
demonstrations and actual packing
OF sam pies of the fruit. Contrary to
the usual custom of expositions, the
expenses of the demonstrators from
the various experiment stations were
maid by the management.

Polyhymnia SeXtette to Appear in
Concert April 2

Wednesday evening, April 2, the
Polyhymnia Sextette, under the di-
rection of Mrs. Kuria Strong, will
appear in concert at the College Au-
ditorium. This will be the first ap-
poarance of the sextette on the home
stage for some years and a rare
treat Is promised. The girls have
been rehearsing faithfully all year
and are in excellent training. The
voices comprising the double trio are
ali sweet and well rounded and they
have easily blended into perfect har-
mony. The sextette have appeared
several times throughout the year,
but this concert will be their crown
ing effort.
The evenings entertainment has
been carefully planned and has the
one paramount requisite of a good
program-yariety. The Glee Club
will appear in two numbers and the
high standard of their singing needs
no further praising. Miss Laura
Thompson will sing a solo with
cello obligato played by Mr.. Mac
Krell. Miss Florence Thayer and
Miss Iris Kneen will appear as solo
lists, Miss Kneen singing with both
organ and piano accompaniment.
Miss Laura Putnam, accompanist,,
will give piano solo, and Miss
Thompson and Miss Putnam will
play piano duet. If arrangement
can be made. the girls will sing, by
special request, the "Pennant Cho-
rus" from the operetta "The Pen
nant," given by the Glee Club.
Immediately after the home per-
Torrance, the sextette, under the
management of J. J. Kimm will
make their fourth annual tour, ap-
pearing in Garfield, Rosalia, NAL
den and Long Lake. While passing
through Spokane the girls have
planned to see Mary Garden in grand
opera. Miss Augusta Roziskey will
accompany the sextette on its tour.

PARCEL POST PROVES POPULAR
---PR0FFER PECULIAR PACKAGES
Heavy Increase in the Business of the ocaI
Postoffice Indicates that People Intend
to Use the System

lhe ordinary postage stamp not bein p
good on parcels of merchandise.
Next TO this fault is the failure all
most invariably to inscribe the name
and address of the sender ON mar
cells. Improper wrapping and fire.
quently sealing of parcels is another
common difficulty. There also
seems to be a determination on the
part of many to send articles other
than those classed as merchandise by
parcel post. Photographs, printed
matter and many things that have
been classed as third class and still
remain as such, and even newspa-
pers are among the most common
articles that many have insisted
should go by parcel post If try
ing to avail yourself of the advan-
tages that the parcel post system
provides you, and you have not Sc
cured copy of instructions, it is
advisable that you do so. There is
reason for every rule and regula-
ton governing these matters, and
Uncle Sam insists that these regu-
lations be followed to the letter.
People should remember that the
disappointment and inconvenience oc-
cas1oned by delays in having mail
matter held up for some irregularity
or another, is principally to them
selves. Likewise much grief can be
saved the postal employees if the
patrons will but take an extra min
ute or two to see that whatever
they wish to send conforms to reg
ulations, and at the same time they
they will be favoring themselves
principally.
1t is not little amusing to listen
to the complaint of a person who
sent dozen eggs poorly packed in
a common pasteboard box, when she
said all the unkind things she could
think of because they were delivered
in scrambled condition.
Another instance of a disgruntled
patron occurred when upon present
alton by fair young lady of her
pet pig to the mail clerk at the
railroad station, she was politely in
formed mo pigs" She wished to
send it to her chum only a few miles
down the line. When the clerk ad-
yised her to kill the pig and send
him that way, she Indignantly re-
fused. And so we have the sweet
with the sour.
The success of the new system is
already assured and it only remains
to now get it in shape so the public
will get the best possible service,
with adequate revenue for handling
the business. All this will work out
in time, and the people will wonder
why they waited so long before in
sisting on this convenience.
