Judic-
ial Applicant

Friends of Judge o. E. McCutcheon
Of Idaho Falls are urging Governor
Haines to appoint him to the bench
to succeed Justice Stewart. Although
he is not making campaign for the
office it has been given out by the
friends of Judge McCutcheon that he
would consider himself greatly hon
ored if rendered the appointment and
would accept. Many other petitions
just as urgent for the appointment Of
other men for the place are being
urged on the governor. The court is
now getting down to the volume of
work piled before it considering cases
as rapidly as possible. The one thing
that would tend to hasten the appoint
ment and bring it about prior to the
general election will be the crowded
condition Of pending cases before
that tribunal with view of relieving
it with third judge.
Judge McCutcheon has many friends
in Blackfoot who would be glad Of
his appointment to the supreme bench.
He bears the reputation of an hon.
orable. able lawyer, and as a loyal
and staunch Republican he has no
superior. People who know him be-
lieve he would make a supreme judge
who would be fair and impartial, and
not be influenced by friends CT money
in the discharge of his duties as a
supreme Justice.

LATEST WAR NEWS

That the battle between the allies
and the Germans to the north of the.
river Disc is growing more and more
violent, is the only statement that
has been permitted to winnow through
the sieve Of official secrecy concern
ing the conditions prevailing on that
part of the long battle line in France,
upon which the eyes of the world
are focused. The report of the French
war office makes no mention of whc-
ther progress is being made on either
side in this zone, where for days the
armies have been battling desperate
ly for supremacy

At Shelley

The storm at Shelley last Friday
accompanied by unusual heavy light

TROUT HATCHERY LEASED

w. R. Leach has leased his trout
hatchery at Springfield to Mr.. Isaacs
who was at one time fish distributor
for the State. The artificial culture
of mountain trout has not been very
profitable to Mr. Leach, whose ex'
perience in this line has cost him
in the neighborhood of $4,000. He
claims his loss was principally caused
by the theft of his trout, the rem
nants of which were turned over to
Mr.. Isaacs.

The City Council held regular
meeting Tuesday night with the fol
lowing members present: Councilmen
Stephens, Davis, Younie, Van Bramer
Bond, O'Neal and Peck, Mayor West
presiding.
The minutes Of the previous regu-
lar meeting were read and approved
The matter of the sidewalk in front
of Mrs. Chalmers property that has
been agitating the council all summer
was again rehearsed, and as the frosty
spell was SO close it was concluded
to extend the time of putting in the
sidewalk until next summer upon Mrs.
Chalmers promise to do so without
any further delay or expense to the
city.
The request Of the v. I. S. ladies
for an additional room for library
purposes was granted, and the room
asked for will be turned over to them
as soon as the present occupant can
vacate.
In the matter Of the railroad cross
ing on Maple street which was taken
up by Councilman Bond with Road
master McGonigle of the Oregon Shot
Line, Mr. Bond reported that the
roadmaster referred the matter to
the general superintendent. After
some discussion on the subject it was
the opinion of tho council that Ash
street was the proper place for the
crossing and would be more agree
able to the railroad company as a
crossing there would not so much
interfere with it's switching accom-
modaticns. On motion it was agreed
that the council in body visit both
street crossings on Wednesday. There
are twenty petitioners for cross
ing in this part of town
The bills Of T. H. Phelps and Roy
Clark for $500 each for watching
the ruins of the Montgomery build
ing on Main street, met with much
opposition, as the council seemed
unanimous Of the opinion that the
insurance companies or the insured
should stand the expense. Both bill
were laid over for further investiga-
ton
The $3.50 bill of Kenneth Parkin-
son for watching a ditch ncrth of
the city was alsoheld upon the ground
that the council did not authorize the
expense to be incurred.
The following bills were read and
allowed:

on the subject OF the teaching Of
sex hygiene in schools the editor Of
the Woman's Home Companion says
in the May number:
Many sincere people, who are
urging the study of sex hygiene In
the classroom, have much to say
about the evils of ignorance. and
their dramatic, not to say sensation
al, recital of these evils often makes
profound impression.
The principle that ignorance
makes for evil and knowledge makes
for good is not always a safe guide
in dealing with the minds and bodies
of children. 1t might work infalltbly
If all children were alike and If all
teachers were fitted to teach the les
son requiring supreme tact and al
most divine sympathy.

strongly urges that sex hygiene shall
not now be taught in our public
schools. Satisfactory mechanical
methods of giving this instruction to
children have not yet been worked
out 1t has been tried and has not
been successful, as the whole ques-
tion is still in an experimental stage,
and discussion OF details should be
