With a little support from the business

a strictly amateur rating.
The boys have enclosed the grounds,
leveled off the field, and put up wire
netting in front Of the stands TO pro-

made the grounds one Of the best in

OF course some will object to their

LOCAL POET WHO MARRIED
MISS DOROTHY ESPEARE
lFrom WOOD RIver Times.l

| Ezra Pound, the American poet, who
is now living in England. and Miss
Dorothy Shakespeare, the only daugh-
ter Of Mr.. and Mrs. Hope Shakespeare
Of Brunswick Gardens, London, were
married there Tuesday of last week,
April Il, 1914
The combination of the name Of
Mr. Pounds fancee with his present
position in English letters is a cur
ious coincidence, since Mr.. Pound, who
is the only child of Mr.. and Mrs. Ho-
mer Pound of Wyncote, has been ac-
claimed in England as the most orig
inal poet America has produced.
Indeed, Mr.. Pounds career has been
meteoric in the brilliance and the
swiftness of his success. Six years
ago. in 1908, he published in Venice a
little book of verses bearing the title
a Lume SpentO" 1t was received
with the greatest enthusiasm by the
English critics. He was heralded as
the second Browning and exploited by
the English reviews as the future
American poet. This was in his 21st
year.
Immediately after the appearance Of
his poems he established himself in
London, where he published "Exulta-
tfons" and "Personae." which gath
cred fresh laurels fer him. The "Spi-
rit of Romance" followed. This is an
exhaustive study of Provencal poetry,
his own field, and has an established
place as a book of reference and a
text book.
Then followed the Sonnet and Bal
late of Guido Cavalcanti. the Canzoni
Riposes and Provencals."
Walter Morse Rummel, the compo-
ser. has set several of Mr.. Pounds
poems to music, and they are being
sung in London with great success.
The Indian poet. Rabindranath Ia /
gore. was first introduced to the Eng 4
Iish public by Ezra Pound in course
Of lectures he delivered in London sew
sral years ago.
Mr.. Pound is only % years old. a
native of HALEY. Idaho. he entered the
University of Pennsylvania when he
was Is years old. After two years he
went to Hamilton college. where he
.ook his bachelor of arts degree. Re
.urning to Pennsylvania, he obtained
he Harrison fellowship, and it was
rom Pennsylvania that he took his
VI. A. degree.
Mr.. Pound is an indefatigable work
IT. Besides the eight books which he
las published in six years. he has con-
ributed largely to the English and
American magazines and has delivered
several series of lectures.

the new wife reappeared at her home
here and on the 29rd Of April she filed
a bill Of complaint asking Judge
Stockslager in the District Court for

wife living at the time he married
Miss Waters.

q demurrer in the usual form deny
ing the suficiency in the cause of ac-
tion and a hearing was had on the 25.
when the demurrer was promptly de-
MED and overruled. whereupon the de-
fendant was required to answer "in-
stanter' to the complaint. To this
requirement a default was entered and
nothing remained for the wife to do
except to claim a decree.
Record time was made in the pro-
ceeding thus far.

TOWN MARSHAL OF JEROME
rs BUSY MAN THESE DAYS
(North Side Newsl

Marshal A. F. Tage, who is also a
deputy sheriff, had a few busy days
the first of the week.
About first off was a fellow who un-
dertook to pay a bill at the Jap res
taurant with a check drawn on bank
where he had no funds. Complaint
was made before Justice of the Peace
Annett. but before the warrant was
issued and served another party ap-
peared and agreed to make the
amount good by Saturday night Of
this week and the complaint was
withdrawn.
Next on the program was stolen
team which the officer found at local
livery stable. The manner in which
the team was left and the fact that
the parties leaving it there had not
called for it in thirty-siX hours arOus-
ed suspicion. About this time tel
ephone message was received by Mr..
Tage from a livery stable in GOoding
to be on the lookout for the team.
The team had been hired two days be-
fore for a short trip. The fellows
who hired it had hours the start and
are likely still going. The case was
handled on Monday.
On Monday evening complaint was
made against a negro, Smith. for
to carve white man. the
ruction having occurred on Main
street. The same cOlored man a few
months ago was the shooter in a case
where a number of negroes were in
volved here in Jerome. This is a coun-
ty case. and the defendant is in the
Jail.
After being on duty all Monday
night as is required the marshal was
awakened Tuesday forenoon by a
neighbor who complained that another
neighbors cows had got out and were
at large. This necessitated
running in or off the cows.
Tage had only gotten a few addi-
ional winks when the telephone rang. |
The officers at Idaho Falls were cali |
ng him to make a hurry up trip to |
he Short Line depot and intercept a !
fugitive from that place who was |
leaded west. He headed the Short /
line train all right and got his man. 1
rhe prisoner is wanted for beating his /
,oard bill. and has been called for by
nd officer from Idaho Falls.
SO it is not all dress parade. being
own marshal and deputy sheriff.
Later-Tuesday night Marshal
'age's Idaho Falls prisoner broke Jail
nd decamped. Apparently he had help
rom the outside, a heavy wire screen
yer the window in the jail door hav-
ng been torn off. An effort is being
lade to recapture the fellow but up to
,st night he was still at large.

Movement Started to Revive Interest
in PenmanshiP in Idaho.


A strong movement is on foot for
better penmanship for the boys and
girls of Idaho, and not only this, but
for a uniform handwriting.
Leagues have been formed all over
the state for the special study of pen
manship, under the direction of Miss

tests are to be held among the various
leagues, when prizes will be awarded,
and the clubs of the state are plan
ming to donate a special prize, prob
ably a handsome picture, which shall
be held each year by the school room
showing the greatest percentage Of i'm
provement in penmanship.
The first contest along this line
will be held at Gooding on the even
ing of May 9, when league No. ,, COM
prising the towns of Gooding, Sho-
shone, Bliss. Wendell Hagerman and
the surrounding schools, will hold
their contest. The WOman's club of
Gooding will entertain a limited num-
Der of delegates to the contest and
eight prizes have been offered, four
by the league and four more by for
mer Governor Gooding.
In order to have an appropriate
poem with which to open the league
contests and to interest more in the
penmanship work, the president Of
fers a prize of 81 to the grade or
high school student who will send to
her not earlier than May and not
later than May IA, at Gooding, the

Argentine corn shipments are at length

two OF the biggest local houses believe
corn in strong position. The corn
visible may increase a little this week.
