The Christmas Tree committee of Camp sbagway No. 1, of the Arc tic Brotherhood are hard at work completing the plans as outlined for the annual entertainment of the children of this city.
 Err the past eighteen years Christmas has been set aside by the Mother Camp of the pioneer northern order as day for the entertainment of the. children whether they are white or brown and the two weeks immediately pre- ceding the 25th day of December, are busy days for the members Of the Camp.
 The detail in arranging for the celebration is overlooked by the casual observer, but when 1t is remembered that not one child, under the age of 15 years, iether boy or girl can be forgotten, and that appropriate gifts must be pur-

chased, the immense tree selected for its beauty and symmetry, must be felled and brought to the camp, erected again in all its life like glory, and then decorated with null ti-colored lights, tinsel and sugar Dlums and the program arranged, so that there will be no slightest hitch when Santa Claus telegraphs from White Pass that he is on his way, it will be seen tthat it is no slight undertaking that the mem bers of the Brotherhood have dele gate@ to themselves.
 Each year the friends of the Brotherhood have been called up- on for assistance, and this has been Cheerfully given. This year the response has been most en- cOuraging, and the 1916 Christmas Tree Celebration at the A. B. Hall will be one of the biggest and best ever arranged for the little friends of the fraternity.

GRIM CLAIIM-STAKES

ReDr, NeY., Dec. 14-According to reports brought here by men who answered to the call of the desert and rushed to get some of the claims. tomb-stones are being lsed for location monuments in the new mining district near Sodaville, where a fabulously rich ledge of tungsten ore WaS discovered recently. One miner located the village cemetery and as there were no rocks near he used some of the best looking tomb stones to mark the boundaries of his claim. Others soon followed suit and now the relatives of the de parted inferred there years ago, would have a hard lime recognizing one grave from another.

BLACKFOOT
CHAMPIONS

The local team added another VIC
tory to it's already long list, Sunday,
when the Soda Springs veteran team
was easily beaten IA to 6. This win
ming was the more surprise to many
fcns because it was accomplished
without the pitching Of Keltus, our
most relied on star twirler, who was
suffering from a sore arm. His place
was we'll taken by big Ak Anderson,
the former Arco pitcher, who while
he was hit rather freely at the start,
soon settled down and pitched air
tight ball for the final SIX innings.
During the first three innings the
local boys played an uphill game,
but they soon regained their batting
eyes, and clouted the ball to all cor
ners of the field, collecting total of
18 hits. This game decided the
championship of southeastern Idaho.
Next Sunday the fast st. Anthony
team, winners of the pennant in the
Snake River Valley league, will play
Blackfoot here for the state cham
pionship, and it can be depended on
to be the best ball game of the sea-
son. Keltus will be back in the box
and with the team in such good bat
ting condition, the home team should
be the favorite.

BLACKFOOT AGAIN AFTER
TWO YEARS ABSENCE

Henry Giles and family have
moved back from Boise where they
have been for a couple Of years.
Mr.. Giles is looking for house to
rent, and observes that Blackfoot is
such a good town all the houses are
filed. On the contrary the moneyed
men OF the town have SO little faith
in the future of the town that they
do not build houses fast enough to
supply the demand. On the other
hand the country is so good and there
are so many places to make money,
the building of houses for rent is
neglected owing to the activity and
interest in other lines of Investment.
And again, the people who rent
houses are not always sincere lovers
of the property and do not take such
affectionate care of it that the own
ers feel like building a monument to
their memory when the house is
vacated. Mr.. Giles Is selling cigars
and tobacco at The Pastime and feels
sure he will secure house to put
over their heads sooner or later.

CRISIS IN NEWSPAPERDOM

A crisis has been reached in the
newspaper publishing business that
is causing sleepless nights to many
American publishers. The price of
white paper has gone up so high that
a great many papers are making no
profit at all, and number of them,
old and we'll established, are on the
very verge of suspending publication.
In a number of cities the publish
ers are meeting the situation by
raising the price Of their papers, by
increasing the price of advertising
and by practicing economies in the
size of the paper. In Philadelphia,
where there are seven or eight or
the most prosperous papers in this
country, the publishers have all
agreed to reduce the number of pages
per week printed to 80 or less, and
not to print Sunday paper over this
size. This means that instead Of IA,
16, 1S, 20 and "a page daily papers,
Philadelphia will have to be content
with 10 and IL page papers.
New York papers have taken sim
liar tho not so drastic action, and
LuG puUllSIlcIS NY oIdICo dlO uOSeAho
and taking up the question. What
is coming no one can tell, but the
Register believes that the newspaper
of tomarrow in this country will be
a strictly news paper, with news edit
ed closely so as to give something of
all the Associated Press report, but
not in such great length as now, and
with the gradual elimination OF fea-
lures which take up so much news
paper space. These features will be
continued as long as they are circu-
lation builders, but they will be COM
pressed into smaller space.
The situation is so serious that the
best thought of the publishing world
is studying it in all its intricacies
as never before, and until paper gets
cheaper and some substitute raw ma
terial for its manufacture is found,
it is going to continue to be sleep
taking problem.-Mobile Register.

KING OF GREECE
RESIGNS HIS CROWN
Constantine Gives Way to His Son
and Venezelos is Again Re-
stored to Power

The abdication by King Constan-
tine of the throne Of Greece Is, next
to Rumania's entering the war, the
greatest sensation in Europe this
week. Venezilos was premier OF
Greece when the war broke out and
his strong pro-ally influence caused
his discharge. But he became even
stronger with the Greek people, un-
til so much pressure was brought 10
bear on the king that he has resign
ed. Considering what has gone pc
fore there is much reason In the
many predictions now that this turn
of affairs presages the entrance OF
the Greeks into the war on the side
OF the allies. Some think the pres
ence of 23 allied war ships and seven
transports off Piraeus, the port OF
Athens, had something to do with
the political shake-up.
1t was next reported that Constan-
tine was seriously i'll and near death.
He has been suffering for some
months from pleurisy.
The Greek government preserves
its friendly neutrality toward the en-
tente allies. 1t issued a communica-
tion recently to the allied powers
asking them to protect national mon
uments in military operations on
Greek SOIL,

SUGAR FACTORY
READY FOR HEAVY
FALL CAMPAIGN

Superintendent William Varley, OF
the sugar factory, informs us that
the fall campaign is expected to be-
gin about the fifth of October, and
that the yield of beets this year is
expected to be about IS or 80 per
cent of a normal crop. Mr.. Varley
SAYS that two elements enter into the
shortage this year: the imperfect
stand due to spring frosts, and the
disposition of so many farmers TO
get the water on the crop and get
them to growing. This, he says,
stops the development of the root
system and makes the short beets
instead of the long ones that result
from leaving the roots to go down
for moisture. There are many nne
tracts of beets as usual, says Mr..
Varley. but there are so many nelds
where the yield is sure to be low,
that it cuts down the average. Ii
something can be done to get these
low yield farmers to prepare the SOIL
and treat the crop so the Deets WILL
have a chance to grow long ana
large, it will mean the addition OF
much wealth thru the beet crop.
The factory has undergone con-
siderable repairs the past season and
it is in good trim for the fall run.
A new battery of Sterling boilers
has been installed at cost OF $5O,--
900, One is of 500 horse power and
two of 500 each. A new air COM
pressor has been installed and new
automatic scales for weighing the
beets into the slicer. The old beet
bins we're much decayed and the
lower parts have been taken out and
rebuilt with cement bases. About
$4,000 have been expended on this
hart of the work. The floor of the
pulp silo was built of two-inch planks
and the farmers got to using SUCH
heavy wagons that they kept break.
ing the planks. The whole tract OF
an acre or more has been relald with
three-inch planks on str1ngers I'M
bedded in solid earth.
The total acreage in Blackfoot ter
ritory this year is 1880, sllght
increase over 1915. The average
weld last year was between II and
IL tons, and it is expected that 1t
will drop back to about IL this year

KIDDIES ON THE FARM

A friend of ours, who operates q
farm where there are children and
sugar beets, Is quite hand to humor
the children in ways that develop the
child and he mentioned one day how
he had done to interest them in rails
ing beets and studying the markets
when they go shopping. 1t was in
the spring of 1915 that he got this
particular idea, and he told certain
of the kiddies that II they wanted
to go into business he would give
them little the best of it because
he loved them and they were his
children. If they would go out and
stake off the land they wanted to
raise beets on he would have it pre-
pared and planted while the teams
were doing the rest Of the field, and
he would have the beets pulled and
hauled to the beet dump while they
were doing the rest of the crop. The
children would have to do all the
hand work and receive the money
and they could spend it in any way
they chose buying books, clothes OF
anything useful. The kiddies woke
up and paid attention; they went out
and looked over the fields with much
interest and staked off as much land
as they thought they could care for
and not find it too much of burden.
They were studying the beet ques-
tion all spring, and asked more ques-
tions about sugar beets than they
had ever thought of before. They
were keen about having them plant
ed on time, they blocked and thinned
them on time, and watched and
studied them all summer. In the fall
their scale tickets called for $50 and
when the big beet check was cashed
for the whole farm, and the cashier
learned of the $50 to go to the kid
dies he assembled that much in 81
bills. 1t made quite bale, and when
delivered to them the children
danced for joy and declared it was
more money than they thought there
was in the world. In their minds
they spent it over and over again,
but finally got down to business and
did some shopping to see what they
wanted most. They enjoyed the shop
ping and comparisons, and finally
went to buying winter togs and
books. They were so pleg-goned hap
by they flew around at their work
as if the world was automatic. Work
was all fun and nobody got tired.
They multiplied their 1915 acreage
by three and asked for enough land
to make a crop of $3.50 for 1916.
Daddy was so pleased with 1t all
that he would have given them the
whole farm and worked for them for
nothing if they had asked it.

she stated that she did it for re-
