OU|NT IS DlANKEO
BY JOHN MARSHALL
ACADEMY BASKET
ERS FAIL TO GET SEMBLANCE
OF GOAL

( Although this season has beer
fraught with many surprises, the big
gest one that has been sprung this
year happened last night on the John
Marshall High School gymnasium
which the Blackstone Academy
basketball quint was let down without
the semblance of a goal, while the
public school lads ran up total OF
forty two.
! The visiting outfit got very few
chances to even attempt TO shoot
goals, owing to the stellar work of the
John Marshall guards Captain Har-
grove and Ehmig. Even when the
visitors got shot at the baskets, they
We're not at all accurate, the balls
going wide of their marks.
But a few seconds elapsed after
Referee Hargrove had tossed the ball
into the air for the first time before
the leather had been snapped into
the waiting hands off Claude Wood
ward and tue ball was sent spinning
Through the net. From this time on
the John Marshall basketers COM
pletely played rings around their OPP
ponents. In the first half the
Marshallites tossed them into the
basket almost at ease and when the
first half ended they had registered a
total of twenty-five points, fourteen of
which were scored of big Boy
Bethel In the second half the Blue
and White boys got a late start, and
managed to score onl seventeen points
in this period.
Visitors Play Hard.
Despite the fact that the blackstone
boys were defeated, they put up a
hard scrap throughout, The fact that
they failed to score any points was
due largely to being unfamiliar with
the John Marshall court.
Bethel led the MarshallItes in scor-
ing garnering ten baskets for total
of twcntv points. Woodward ranked
second with seven to his credit, while
Pendleton got three, The work of
Captain Hargrove and Ehmig in guard
was especially good For Blackstone
Pennington. Haymaker and Kornegey
played consistent game.

BLACKSTONE ACADEMY
WINS FROM ASHLAND

Ashland. Va. Feb. 22.--In a game in
which only eight points were scored,
Blackstone Academy managed to win
this afternoon from Ashland High
school Quint by the close margin of
six to two. The game was rough
one from start to finish and it was due
to frequent fouls committed by the
home team that gave the visitors a
victory. Blackstone failed TO secure
a single field goal, getting ali of their
points by foul goals. Lancaster got
the only field goal Of the game.

The withdrawal of the applications
for raise in heating rates by the Great
Shoshone Power company, was wise
move in the face of the manifest dis
approval shown by the numerous con-
sumers in Southern Idaho, 1t also
shows that the Public Utilities Com
mission is doing a vast amount of
good in discouraging excessive rates
among all utilities, For without the
review of the above case before the
state commissioners, the rates would
have been in effect ere this. If the
people of this state ever allow the
commission to be killed, they will soon
find that corporation fairness is of
vastly different brand from the pres
ent enforced justice.

LOYALTY TO WHAT NATION?

The Times has a peculiar circum-
stance confronting it this week in
the action of hyphenated German
American citizen, who stopped his pa
per because he did not like certain
war editorial. This man stated that
the Times had no right to criticise
Germany. Now the interesting ques-
ton arises concerning this man or any
other citizens, of German, of English,
of French, of the other nationalities
who have sworn allegiance to the AM
erican flag. What will these men
do in case of war between this coun-
try and their native land? Where
will they line up when the question of
defending this nation from invasion,
becomes an actuality? Whittier are
these men tending in their citizenship
The man who stopped his paper IS
a naturalized American citizen, who
has had the protection and advantages
of this government for number of
years. He swore allegiance to this
government 1t is to be hoped that he
did it without any mental reserva-
ton about the Fatherland, What would
this man do in case of war with Ger
many? 1t is fair question that he
should ask himself in a quiet analysis
of his own mind. What does this man
think of the invasion of Belgium? Can
of h
ing for years the ideas of American
freedom and Justice?
Did this man among the countless
numbers who have come from foreign
shores, leave the land of his nativi-
ty with the purpose of making a for
tune and then returning. Or did he
with the rest fully intend to become a
part of the Great Republic Upon these
pertinent questions rest the basis of
American government. If this man or
that man is in his heart disloyal to
the American nation nothing but a
name founded upon bubble which
will burst with the first signs of
strife
It is a matter of vital interest and
in bringing it up the Times has moth
ing but good will toward the man who
thus sought to show his disapproval
with no thought of what his own ac-
ton indicated to the rest of his fellow
citizens. If the Fatherland occupies
first place in his loyalty, then is he
doing great injustice to the nation

with themselves Is as follows:
WILL become WEEKLY saw
Err" and will deposit $............... every
week for at least So weeks to my

signed. ...........-.....---.--.-.--..
This seems like a very good idea.
The object of the plan is threefold-
1. To demonstrate to depositors
that in year they can make 81 reg
ular weekly deposits of at least GER
tain sum-no matter how small
2. To show them that by adhering
to their resolution for So weeks they
form habit, through which it will
be easier for them to keep on saving
than to stop.
3. To acquire cash capital with
which to grasp opportunity, realize an
ambition or be ready for sudden and
unusual necessity.
The advantages of such method OF
building up reserve fund are brought
out, by implication, in these words OF
a banker in the Lompoc Valley OF
California, who says:
1.-THE last two years, particularly
the last one, have been what we call
"short" years in this valley. The
rainfall was below the average and
consequently the crops were short.
For several years previous to 1912
our crops were exceptionally good,
and everyone seemed to feel that he
was making money and that this con-
dition would continue indefinitely. In
stead of paying off their mortgages
and other indebtedness, great many
added to their land holdings, bought
automobiles, etc, so when the snort
years came they were unprepared.'
i A systematic method of saving is of
benefit not only to farmers, wage-ear-
ners and salaried persons, but bust
ness men would do well to consider it
! seriously as a plan to build up re-
serve capital.
Those who have arrived" are as
likely to need an emergency or oppor-
tunity fund as are their employees.
| Any business man, personally, may
have need of little extra private
capital some day, available in Cash
outside of his business, unknown to
others and ready for any call.
Build a personal reesrve. Have {
business reserve, too. Don't argue
that you can use your money to bet
ter advantage in your business. 4
reserve may be your financial saliva
ton some day.
Don't say you will save weekly aftel
you have caught up in expenses, TO-
saving week by week is the best wa!
in the world to catch up.
You will never earn enough none.
