BIG CORPORATION BEING
PLANNED IN BLACKFOOT

Tuesday there was a meeting at
the D. W. Standrod & company's Of
fees to consider organizing a corpor-
alton for the manufacture of Flem-
ing's patent egg preserver. A. l..
Pruett, of Tennessee, as a represen-
tatiVe1 of eastern capital met with
the Blackfoot gentlemen, D. H. Bic
than, N. J. Thorstenberg, F. Simons,
M. M. Farmer and William Mont
gomery and proposed to take $25, 900
in stock and dispose of considerable
share Of the total $150,00O worth
Of stock, which is to be issued. The
factory will probably be established
at Chicago, or somewhere in Tennes-
see. Mr.. Pruett desired that several
thousand dollars should be raised in
Blackfoot in order to show that the
community recommends it's own
product Mr.. Fleming, the inventor
of the process is Blackfoot man.
Every indication is that the PROPOSE
ton Is fair and that the Blackfoot
men will back it.

Chautauqua Headquarters
ABOUT CHAUTAUQUA TICKETS

Active preparations for our first
chautauqua, which opens in Black
foot, Saturday evening, June II, are
centering in the sale of season tic
Kets. AS IS of our public spirited
cltlzens have guaranteed to sell $50
season tickets at $3.50 each in order
to bring the chautauqua to our city,
it is safe to predict that every one
interested in putting Blackfoot on
the chautauqua may will manifest
that interest by purchasing season
tickets, thus showing their apprecia-
ton of high class entertainment, and
also the effort of the citizens who
were willing to assume the financial
responsibility of bringing the chau-
tauqua here. The single admissions
at the gate do not appl yon the guar
antee OF the local people. The adult
season ticket may be purchased for
$3.50 until Saturday noon, after
which time it will raise in price to
$500. All children in the grammar
grades may have a season ticket for
:$l.0O, which admits them to the
Junior chautauqua every morning, as
well as to all other entertainments
High school students have a special
season ticket for so, which is also
good for every program. The adult
ticket is transferable within the
family, one using it at time only,
and is good for the IS programs.
Since the arrival of Miss Orah
Hardness, special publicity represen-
tative for the chautauquae system,
she has been busy looking after the
many details in connection with the
coming of the chautauqua. On Sat-
urday programs were placed in all
out-of-town vehicles, as well as in
the various churches of the city Miss

churches on Sunday, explaining the

power of attraction to keep everything
on its surface from falling off.
Now, just imagine that this power Of
attraction stopped altogether. If that
happened and you were indoors your
head would hit the ceiling. If you

Making an adding machine required
the drilling of ten holes in a steel
plate thirty second of an inch thick
each hole to be accurate to a thou
sandth of an inch, yet no bigger than
pin in diameter Such a problem
stopped the manufacture Of the ma.
chine on commercial basis until the
inventor of the calculator could invent
a means of solving it.
The machine devised stands but
twelve inches high. The drill which
was built carries ten spindles. each
holding a drill of No. 6 Morse gauge,
which is about the size of pin

steel that does the work is driven by

Hamilton's next move was to learn
the name Of the Englishman. The
priest examined papers back for more
than twenty years and found letters
written eighteen years before from the
man for whom the copy had been
made. one letter giving directions as
to where 1t was to be sent. The name
was John N. Boyington, Harley
street. London.
Hamilton had money enough to take
him to London, but no more. He de.
cided to make the journey, and if he
discovered no relative he would ship
on some vessel bound for America. On
reaching London he found that John
Boyington had been an eminent sur
geon. but was now an old man and re-
tired. The sailor went to his residence,
was ushered into the drawing room,
and there on the wall hung the copy
Of the Murillo Madonna and Child"
When DR.. Boyington came down to
see him and Hamilton told his story
the old man sat silent for time then
said:
Il believe that you are my grandson.
Your father married'ta an American lady,
and a son was born in this house.
That picture was placed in my daugh-
ter-in-law's room shortly before you
were born that the mother might have
fitting object before her When the
boy was four years old my son and
his wife visited America. They were
lost on the return voyage on a ship
called the Alexander Hamilton"

Does Anger Correct?

red petals and watching them float like
fairy boats to the green grass at her
feet. Then came a storm and a trag-
edy. \ dark being sprang from no.
where with a terrible shadow upon
his face and harsh words upon his
lips. The being shook the baby rough
ly by the arm. The baby was smiling
like an angel. There was anger in

there was blow in the words that ac-
companied the grasp. Then the creature
went away, and we rubbed our eyes in
