tains Broken Arm in Car Accident
Woman Hurt.

which to exhibit grain, Wednesday
afternoon, Mr.. Fjelsted, who was to
have charge of this part of the exer-
cises, broke the radius rod of the car
he was driving, overturning it and
pinning himself and Mrs. Ro-
berts beneath the car. Two children
Of Mrs. Roberts were thrown clear
of the car. They summoned a man
who was working in a field nearby,
who got Mr.. Fjelsted out. About that
time j. P. Mehlhaff and j. F. Kosanke
came along and lifted the car from
Mrs. Roberts. Mr.. Fjelsted sustained
a broken arm and rib and a sprained
back Mrs. Roberts was bruised quite
badly but not seriously injured. The
children were unhurt. The car be-
longed to County Agent Kjosness and
was badly disabled. DR.. Schiltz was
fortunately present and attended the
injured. Mr.. Fjelsted was brought to
American Falls by H. c. Ehrlich and
left for him home at Twin Falls this
morning.
Many American Falls people were
in attendance, among the number be-
ing Mr.. and Mrs. Greenwood, Mr.. and
Mrs. Barber, Mrs. Moth, Mr.. and Mrs.
Davis, Mrs. Gregory, Mr.. and Mrs.
Forter, Mr.. and Mrs. Hansen, E. E.
Earring, Chester Greene, M. j. Unger,
James Vaughan, Jay Gibson, William
Baker, H. C. Ehrlich, ]. T. Sykes, H.
r. Wallis, j. P. Mehlhaff, j. F. Ko-
sanke, H. C. Wones, w. r. Griswold
and the American Falls School band.
In the primary room of the school
building. the work of the children and
the women was displayed. Misses
Mildred Warren of the Pauline school
and Claudia Cox of the Bannock
school had both secured excellent re-
suits in teaching sewing, in addition
to the drawing, paper cutting and
sewing cards, more common in the
rural school. There was also a fine
display of maps, done by the pupils
OF the two schools. Mr.. Rays pupils
also had good collection of maps,
two especially noteworthy, being a
large relief map of the state of Idaho
and one of Power county.
The women's exhibit was not a
large one but it made a creditable
showing for beginning. Mrs. Alters
and Mrs. Lindley's crocheted lace, Mrs.
Bullock's and Mrs. Jenk's embroidery
were much admired. Mrs. Talon,
Mrs. Allard, Mrs. Keeler and Miss
a1e H.
showed work bag woven on his car
pet loom. Mrs. w. e. Dawson showed
a handy household device for the
farm woman who finds it necessary
to keep the toilet articles of several
members of the family in one place,
in the shape of a set of wall pockets
The whole piece is made of oil cloth
bound with tape. There are large
pockets for which whisk broom and
clothes brush, smaller pockets for
combs and hair brushes and still
smaller pockets for tooth brushes, etc
Most useful, under mirror, over a
wash stand.
Another article which deserves men-
tion was the sewing case, loaned by
Mrs. t. E. st. John of American Falls
This case has very convenient holders
for thimbles, cushions for needles
hooks for scissors and emery ball
rows of pegs for thread and pockets
for buttons, snaps, etc, an especially
large one for mending or a piece Of
work. Closed, the sewing case occu.
pies very little space. Open, it saves
long minutes of searching for the
particular thread or needle one wishes
for special sewing task. The womer
were very grateful 90 Mrs. st. Johr
for giving them the opportunity ot
seeing this ingenious device and the
school girls whose patient fingers haC
wrought the artistic sewing bags anC
neat doll aprons, all resolved to have
one like it as soon as possible.
A much admired group of watel
colors were the work of the children
OF the Garn school. The idea was t.
paint Cheney Eyes wigwam and hii
camp fire just at sunset. Some o
the productions were decidedly ar
tistic
The teachers of the American FALL
school loaned a fine display of tn
handwork of their pupils. Rugs ant
hammocks from Miss Drum, raffii
frames and napkin rings from Mis-
Gwin, Hiawatha books from Mis-
Becksted, water color paintings ant
reed baskets from Miss Hughes, col
lections of flowers from Mrs. Brown
maps and illustrated composition
from the various grades brought new
ideas and perhaps more definite stan
dards to the boys and girls who saw
them.
One feature OF the afternoons pro
gram pleased everybody, the concer
by the American Falls School band
They are only boys, some not yet Il
High school, but they do enjoy musi
and they play like professionals. Ar
bon regretted that a previous en-
gagement prevented them from re
naming until evening
