The Bingham County Fair which
closed last Friday was success in
every way. While the weather was the
best that could be expected the attend
ance was not as large as previous fairs
enjoyed. While the exhibits were not
as extensive as those of prior fairs,
what was displayed was good and very
creditable to the exhibitor and Bing-
ham county.
The poultry exhibit was remarkably
good and few if any who saw it expect
cd to see such collection of beautiful
imported and domestic barnyard fowl.
The only exclusive chicken raiser in
Blackfoot had some very fine birds on
exhibition, both domestic and imported.
''This is the best exhibit of stock
ever shown in Idaho and would do
credit to any state.'
That is the statement made at
Blackfoot Thursday to Prof. e. j.
Iddings Of the department of animal
husbandry Of the State university at
Moscow as the wonderful procession Of
blooded stock of all kinds passed the
grand stand. The parade of the cattle
and horses, including bulls, COWS, calves,
stations, mares and colts of many sizes
and breeds, was the real feature of the
day set aside for the farmers of the
neighboring sections Of the big Bingham
county fair. The stock in it's stalls has
elected all kinds of praise from those
who just admire fine looking animals
and from the keener observer who
knows the real worth " cattle and horse
flesh. The exhibit will encourage those
who have not taken so deep an interest
in keeping the best stock to improve
their herds and to fill their barns with
only the best of animals.
A larger crowd than ON Wednesday
saw the big fair at Blackfoot Thursday
and was thrilled by the exciting races
and the wonderful stunts of Professor
Munter, the airship wizard, and Pro
fessor Cameroni, the dare devil, in his
slide and feats high in the air. Like
the day before every race was close
enough to keep the crowd on its toes
and an added thriller was produced un-
expectedly when Ray Peck fell in the
motorcycle race. He was quickly on his
machine again and spinning away after
his competitors. It was ma nasty fall
but no serious damage was done either
to machine or rider.

CHAMBERS RAGING
AT PINCREE

We are informed on good authority
that there is a severe epidemic of
glanders in the Pingree country and
that deputy state veterinarian is un-
able to cope with it and stay its spread.
There are about fifteen cases of the
disease and Drs. White and Williams
have been frequently called to attend
them.
John L. Stevens, of Pingree, Idaho, in
letter to the Statesman alleges that
the state veterinarian has not given
sufficient attention to the outbreak of
glanders in that locality. The out
break was reported ON the Mcconnell
ranch near Pingree several weeks ago.
At that time the state veterinarian was
quoted as saying that he would send his
chief assistant, G. T. Seabury of Poca-
tello, to investigate at once.
On September 5 Mr.. Stevens received
letter from Mr.. Seabury, inquiring as
to the symptoms shown by the horses
afflicted. Mr.. Stevens cleans that Sea-
bury's letter did not indicate to him
that the chief assistant was familiar
with glanders, else he would not have
asked the questions he did.
Pronounced Chambers
Mr.. Stevens reports that competent
veterinarian who tested the Mcconnell
horses stated positively that they had
oil
action should have been taken to pre-
vent the spread Of the disease instead
of allowing the infection to spread. Mr..
Stevens declares that the human family
can easily contract the disease, which
usually results fatally. He recalls the
difficulty the State encountered in
stamping out glanders in the Lost River
country during the administration of
Governor Haines, when about 200 head
of horses were destroyed at heavy loss
to the farmers. The horse that is sup
posed to have brought the disease to
Pingree came from Lost River.
Mr.. Stevens scores the veterinarian 8
department for what he claims to be
indifference and neglect, and predicts
that it will be difficult matter to
stamp out the disease after it has been
allowed to run for so long.
We have been informed that the
dread disease was brought to Pingree
by a man from Arco, who brought a
glandered cayuse to Pingree and gave
it to boy named Ross for picking
sugar beets.

 After the war the United States Is going to have tremendous, influx of immigrants, mostly men, says Miss Maudez Younger, suffragist, fen- mist and labor leader, who is here from California to help New York women in their fight for the fran- chise. And unless we show a line example. of preparedness we shall be swamped."
 Why not women immigrants :' Miss Younger was asked
 Because the women will be too busy with thelr trades and profes- sions.
 Women Will Monopolize Jobs.
 ''The immigrants will be mostly men, I say because they will have been crowded out of their own oc- equations by the women. Right now the European woman is paving her way to a new level. She is actually and competently taking mans place in every conceivable trade and oc- cupation; she is running street cars, policing the streets, producing the crops, running all the business that ACi CIOlO1C OIiAy zlICI IldNS AOo iAA their hands. While men are off killing themselves the women are building, so that when Johnny comes marching home he's going to find nothing, to do. It that way in the Balkans now, you know. The women do the work, they are lined an,l stopped and stunted, and you ought to see the big, beautiful men!
 And big, beautiful men 7 asked the reporter.
 Men to California.
 Co to California;" she replied. And here's our immigration prob lem piIing up for us That's the eff feet the United States is going to feel so keenly.'
 New York said Miss Younger, ought to have an immigration com mission such as we have out in Call ifornia. The biggest service of such be the distribution of immigrants to prevent concentration in cities and the protection of immigrants against all sorts of spectators, land and other- 1 wise. They laugh at California for l having so many commissions, but San l Francisco, once very, very black l politically, is now the cleanest city l in the Union, and we have no slums Our immigration commisson has done l wonders.

"DR. RAMEAU"- IS
 TODAY'S ATTRACTION

Today ushers in at the local Fox theater the latest William Fox pro- duction. 'Dr. Rameau,'' in which Frederick Perry, late star of "On Trial" makes his screen debut. The story by George Ohnet, the eminent modern French author, is replete with big pulsating moments. situations that will grip the spectator like bands of steel and through the entire action a live story of a most tender nature carries one to a great denouement. Director Will S. Davis who pro- duced this powerful picturization is one Of the pioneer producers in the film industry. It is rlotewcrthy that MT. Davis writes all lof, the scripts that he produces, and he has directed some seven hundred films since his entrance e into the directing end. Mir. Davis is one of the most careful directors witf, regard to detail. It is a safe assertion that his productions are as free from errors of detail and technique as is humanly possible, and his keen sense ot dramatic values makes his works particularly worth while. In "Dr. Rameau," MT. Davis has-an exception ally strong story, and cast of re- hdOlS pOWST. ETouCIlSht CiIys who plays the title role is perhaps the greatest dramatic actor in the country, and the rest of tlres9 cast o' including Dorothy Bernard. .StNartl Holmes. Jean Southern, George Allison and Edith Hallor, is we'll up to the mark set by the star. The settings in this produc- ton are pretty and the exteriors are of remarkable beauty. The photo graphy throughout the photo-drama is exceptionally good, and in fact on all points this latest Fox production powerful ranks as the most effective dramatic work yet produced. Several excellent and carefully selected single reel comdies augment the stellar at- traction to the usual two hour per- formance, and with the excellent en- vironments offered at this popular theater that are conducive to healthy diversion, Fox patrons will find enough variety and entertainment to appease the appetite of the most captious fan:

 Delightful summer suits are made of heavy cotton crepe. f Midnight" blue is the favorite color for smart taffeta suits. The fabric hat is more in evidence than the hat of straw:
