PAID THE PRICE

Maurice Burton was in Blackfoot
on Decoration day strewing flowers
on the graves of his sisters. He was
looking strong and prosperous and
said he was planning to go to Cali
fornia. He had paid dearly for some
of the mistakes Of his youth and
wanted to make new start.
Burton and a companion were
taken into custody in February, 1915
for violating the moral code, and he
lost his freedom in consequence OF
it. His companion was released on
probation, but was afterwards ad-
judged delinquent and a menace to
others and was committed to the re-
form school. After a short time she
was released and she went elsewhere
to try again to live normal life.
They both paid the price and still
had to meet the original problem OF
ruling self.

Street Traffic to be Different--Town to be as

viding Safety Frst--Do Your Shop

and then If we like it we can do il
some more.
There is always some danger al
the railroad tracks, the same as al
the street crossings. The town is
too small to keep watchmen at cross
ings, and 1t often happens that the
train or auto that you have your eye
on has another one moving back OF
it, and somebody may step right in
front of it. This is especially
dangerous to people from the
country who are not accustomed to
watching for SO many moving OBJ
jects. 1t will be we'll for the town
people to not only look out for their
own safety chautauqua week but to
be watchful to keep others from be-
ing hurt. The busy merchant hurry
ing home or to his store Is not too
busy to take a hand in getting a
party of visitors safe across busy
crossing. He can't afford to be in
different and have somebody hurt
and the fun spoiled. BlackfOot ought
to be able to report after 1t is over
that no serious accidents happened.
That nobody was hurt, every auto
driver was careful, every visitor had
a jolly good time, each resident
seemed glad to show them around
or go with them to find anything or
anybody they were looking for. It
would be good If we could report
that nobody missed getting a COM
Portable bed any night, that hardly
any children got separated from their
friends and when they did, others
observed it and went with them to
find their party or took them home
and cared for them and phoned to
those concerned. That everybody in
town was just like dad and mother
to all the rest, and mothers got so
they did not worry about the child
ren, and children got so they felt
perfectly at home since everybody
seemed like one of their own family
1t was open season for fun and bust
ness took a back seat. Only enough
clerks stayed at the stores to relieve
actual wants and properietors and
most of the help were out taking
their post graduate course and hav-
ing their annual vacation.
1t would be nice II we could report
that town people did their shopping
the week or two before so they and
the clerks could have a week off, and
that country people planned to do
what trading they had to do at times
when there was no program being
presented, thus making it easy for
all business people to get away, and
next to impossible to sell anything
when a program was on.
Blackfoot and the Blackfoot
country can do this thing up brown
If they just do little thinking and
a little cooperating. 46-3

BELOVED WOMAN
EXPIRES AT PARTY
Mrs. "A. b. Stephens Suddenly Strick-
en- at Farewell Party at Wood
man Hall, Wednesday

The sudden news of the death OF
Mrs. A. B. Stephens, Wednesday
evening, came upon her friends and
all who knew her as painful shock
The unexpected event, her apparent
health and the circumstances of heI
taking away in the midst of So
cial party, combine to make it sad
affair. The Royal Neighbors were
entertaing some members who are
going away. Mrs. Stephens fell in
a faint early in the evening and was
taken down stairs. She recovered
soon and seemed we'll as ever; walk
ed up stairs to the hall, fell again
into sort of sinking spell and be-
fore doctors could be brought to aid
her she was dead.
Mrs. Stephens was particularly
popular among the townspeople and
by her friends she was loved like a
mother. BY mere acquaintances this
good woman was held in that sort
of affection only bestowed upon those
big-hearted, motherly women whose
sympathy reaches out to all about
them in a helpful and encouraging
way.
Mrs. Stephens was born in Clarks-
burg, Missouri, and was Miss Oma
Stone. There she met and Married
Mr.. Stephens and the young couple
moved to Blackfoot about IA years
ago. Her father and mother are
living in Clarksburg and have been
telegraphed the painful news. She
has a sister in Pennsvlvania and ono
brother in Blackfoot, Jack Stone,
proprietor of the Club Cigar store.
Her husband is almost PROSTATE
with grief. There are three child
rem, Louis, who is II years old;
Dorcey, Is; and Ray, 13.
The services will be held this (Fri-
day. afternoon at 200 at the Steph-
ems home, No 288 North Shillings
avenue, and will be in charge of the
ladies of the Royal Neighbors and
the Rev. j. G. Austin. Business
houses will be closed during services.

MoRELAND TO HAVE A DEPOT
Commercial Club Alive to the OPP
pOrtunities Opening up

Saturday evening the Moreland
Commercial club held meeting to
adjust matters relative to course
of entertainments they are planning
to secure, and to raise money neces-
sary to buy the additional lands
needed for their new depot and track
extensions. Arrangements were made
for the purchase Of about $500
worth of land of Lewis Robbins.
Byrd Trego and Fremont Kutnewsky,
Of The Idaho Republican, were at
the meeting and Mr.. Trego was in-
vited to address them. He spoke for
half an hour on what he regarded
as the probable developments Of the
next ten years in the Moreland dis
trict, emphasizing the fact that its
being at the center of such large
agricultural district and at the juno
tion of the two railroads tapping the
prospective wheat fields Of the des-
ert, would either bring much busi-
ness to them or take 1t thru their
town to other places.

DAY WELL
q OBSERVED in BLACKFOOT
Special Music and Exercises; Stores
~. Closed; Fine Day
Veterans Few

The Memorial day services were
held at 2 o'clock at the High School
auditorium and were we'll attended.
Miles Reed, of the Idaho Technical
Institute, delivered a striking ad-
dress; the young mems quartet of
the Methodist Episcopal church and
the. Woodman band furnished appro-
pirate music.
It was sadly remarked that the
number of Civil war veterans has
been dwindled by the ravages of time
down to a mere handful. Thinking
of the proud legions and the desper-
ate deeds that these few old men
knew SO years ago it is scarcely
imaginable. And at time Of world
commotion all were reminded that
almost any day the occasion may
arise that will call out the young
men and create another legion of
war veterans.
"The Conditions of National Un-
rest" was the subject taken by DR..
Reed, who urged attention to the sit
uation we are in nationally, and that
in meeting the oncoming serious
events of our day, we ought to re-
member the deeds of these sires who
SO admirably set us a standard of
patriotism and loyalty in the days
of their youth. He said we should
consider the present state of affairs
as fire test of citizenship and
might we profit by the great ex-
amples that have been given.
Flowers were IN greater abund-
ance than ever before, manifesting
the fact that loving memories are
alive to honor those who have passed
on. Pretty little girls in neat frocks
distributed the flowers and added an
attractive touch of beauty to the
scene.
The committee who had charge of
the services wish to thank the pro-
gram contributors and also the busf-
ness men for closing up their shops
in honor of the day.

MANY ATTEND BIG
BOOSTERS SUPPER

which netted the team about 500
and asked for continued support for
the national game.
F. Simons gave short report of
what the chautauqua COMMITTEES are
doing, the selling tickets and pre-
parations. He said it was a little
early for results, but that all were
busy.
DR.. Hoover, on being called to his
feet for speech, first complimented
the supper and the ladies who work.
ed SO faithfully to make it what is
was. He said: Sat first l thought
we at this table were specially favor
ed, for the fact is I am too full for
utterance, and l am now sure that
you are all too full to receive any
more" He boosted the community
spirit and urged that all citizens in
the surrounding towns are a part
Of this community and ought to be
cordially invited into the associa-
tion. He said knockers do a town
no good and that only boosters count.
Also he called attention to the fact
that real estate men of Blackfoot
are receiving hundreds of inquiries
by letter from prospective incomers,
which they really have not time to
attend to and suggested 1t would pay
ten fold If this association would
equip and maintain an office for pub
licity purposes.
William A. Hyde, of Pocatello, was
called upon. He said capital is look
ing into our community with view
to extending their lines of communi-
cation to us; and also that he could
see the answering spirit of prepara-
tion for the big things coming in
our town. "And that" he conclud-
ed, lis the only kind of preparedness
we should indulge, the preparedness
for bigger and better things"
Half Holidays, Auto Club and Good
Roads
J. T. Carruth spoke in favor of
weekly half holiday during the
summer months and made mention
of the good work done for the COM
munity by the Bingham Auto G Good
Roads association.
j. G. Bond talked of the commits
sioners and their attention to the
county roads. He added that the
state. finds it impossible to take over
the highways this year and that the
roads must be graveled before they
will do SO.
About Organization
H. d. MacCosham reported on be-
half the committee on organization,
composed of F. N. Parkinson and l..
B. Dustin, besides himself. He said
the committee were indoubt whether
it is better to sell tickets, as has been
done, or pay, at the door, when the
booster dinners are given, and he
asked for a vote on how often the
meetings should be called. Sheets
of paper were passed around for this
purpose and the majority voted in
favor of twice-monthly suppers. Mr..
MacCosham gallantly proposed that
the dates should be set according to
the convenience Of the ladies.
Close on Memorial Day
F. e. DeKay moved that it be the
sentiment of the meeting that all
places of business close for Decora-
ton day. There was some discus
sion as to whether closing ought to
be left to the individual stores and

Good Spirit and Good Outlook; GOOD
Feed and Good Talks Or
ganizatiOn Later

Nearly 100 men sat down to sup
per in the V. 7, S. rooms last Thurs.
day evening at $50. The ladies OF
the V. |. S. prepared and served them
dinner that could not have been
better. The get together spirit was
more apparent than before, the men
were more at ease with each other
and the speeches all reflected conf
dence in the home community and
in the men who belong to 1t.
The Menu
Cream chicken, la pork au paide;
potatoes, mashed en- grace; aspara-
gus. pickles, assorted fruits; biscuits
delicieuses, au DELFT; strawberry
short cake, avec creme; lemon pie,
coffee and cheese.
The Pie Pot
When 1t came time to look for
the pie a violent difference OF opinion
broke out at the table at which
Judge Anderson held the tud place
Each man stood out for his favorite
with so much fervor that there was
only one way to settle the dispute.
The Judge turned bookmaker and
each guesser put in a silver Offering
on his choice. There were about
nine dimes and a cigar check. Only
in one instance did two put their
money on the same kind of pie and
that instance was the winner-lemon
pie. It was agreed that If nobody
picked the winner the pot should GO
to the park fund. When two picked
the winner, however, it still seemed
too bad to disappoint the ladies, SO
they received the reward for their
lemon pie. The men considered 1t
we'll worth it, especially those two
who had their pick. 1t might be ad-
ded that Mr.. Biethan, who we think,
suggested the rattle, made the poor
est guess of all-peach pie, and was
unanimously elected winner of the
BOBBY prize.
Chairman Adair
Ralph Adair was made chairman
when the dinner had disappeared
and cigars lit. He said the man who
nominated him for the place, Mr..
Dooley, had left Immediately upon
having perpetrated the deed and
since there was no one to get back
at he would serve. He called upon
Peter G.. Johnston.
Blackfoot and the New Era
Mr.. Johnston delivered a very
suitable opening speech, touching up
on the promise of larger activities
and general prosperity which now is
in the air, He nicely complimented
Blackfoot as the center of our COM
munity, pointing out that it is a
honey place, with carefully kept
lawns and neat homes, in which the
citizens seem to take an especial
pride. He said he had never seen
such show of the good town spirit
here.
G. G.. Haynes boosted base ball and
promised summer full Of good
games. He spoke of the successful
base ball dance of Tuesday night,
