CHURCH NOTES
Easter Celel,ration

Easter Celebration
+ Easter with its wonderful signific-
ance- dawned upon us with glorious
day; all nature seemed in harmony,
evidenced by the buds and flowerss
and the Punishment of cold and
gloom. All seemed happily rejoic-
ing as they appeared in their new
est attire; from the tiny girl who
was decidedly self conscious of her
new hat with flowers on it and her
dress with ribbon bows, and the
young lad who was proud of his first
mans suit of clothes to dear old
grandma, whose Joy was overlooking
when her children told her she looks
.sweeter every year.
The churches, beautifully and
symbolically decorated in Easter
lilies, ferns and cut flowers, were
filled to Overfowing. At all the
churches special musical numbers
were rendered, which were indeed
very tine.
In the evening the presentation Of
1.-THE Holy City, by the Methodist
and Baptist choirs and a few. outside
voices, under the direction Of J. f.
Lewis, was perhaps the most Notable
and finest Easter program ever pre-
scented in Blackfoot. The chorus
work was especially good and all ex-
pressed their deep appreciation and
enjoyment over the performance.
Hundreds were turned away on &C
count Of lack of room in the church;
1T will therefore be repeated at the
request Of many people, Thursday
evening, April 81.

day was q decided success. The Pap
anese booth held display of oriental
things valued up to $500. They
were again on sale Tuesday after
noon. The cafeteria supper at the
same time was said by some to be
the finest ever given by the ladies.
1t was well attended and no one
could. complain about the manner in
which they were served, for every
one waited on themselves.
Governor at Church
Governor Moses Alexander will give
an appreciate address at the Baptist
Church, Sunday evening, May IA,
the occasion being that the city can
get new library. There are now
about three hundred books listed In
the library and great many more
are promised II anyone has q
book or books that they would like
to give to the library, If they would
notify Mrs. Neil F. Boyle or Mrs.
P. w. Powers, the books will be
gladly called for and certainly APP
preciated. II all would take the in
terest in this good cause, as a few
of our enthusiastic, enegetic club
women have it would be but short
time before we could Justly feel
proud Of very complete library.
Books of late fiction will be pur-
chased from time to time and in
order to pay for these books five
cents will be charged each time they
are taken out until they are paid
for. The ladies are getting this
library with the hopes that sometime
in the future the city may be able
to get library, at which time all
these books will be gladly turned
over and the club will cooperate
with the city in making it great
success. There is lot of civic spirit
in Blackfoot that has been lying DOR

COTTON PRICES DECLINE
Favorable Liverpool Cables Are Ig-
nored-Buying Is Good

NEW YORK, Sept 6.-Favorable Liver
pool cables and unfavorable crop weather
were ignored at the opening OF the cotton
market this morning. The tone was easier.
with prices down TO IL points.
Offerings were large on the call and buy
ers were not obtained until prices declined
to a level at which orders were reached.
There was some Wall Street selling and a
supply came from Liverpool.
The buying was of good character,
coming from spot and uptown interests and
from the West but was not large enough
TO absorb the supply.
There was good deal Of southern SELL
ing here, partly from New Orleans Trade
interests were good buyers of October and
after the execution OF stop orders on de-
cline OF about IS or 20 points from last
nights closing figures, the market steaded
toward the end of the first hour.
The market was weak late in the morn
ing, and 1t seemed that selling was encour-
aged by rumors that returns TO the National
Ginners' Association indicated ginning of
$4,000 bales prior to September 1.
The pressure on the break OF about 25 to
20 points from last nights closing figures
was partly the result OF further southern
selling, while additional stop orders were
uncovered.
The decline was checked around 1859
for December by covering and rallies of 8 or
Q points. followed by the publication OF the
weekly weather report

While there was generally a more optl-
nisto feeling in the financial district today,
brought about largely by the continued up
ward move in the New York market, trad
ing on the Philadelphia Stock Exchange was
not active. Trading was about evenly
divided between local and arbitrage stocks,
but most Of the business was done in the
arbitrage group, as far az the number Of
shares OF stocks which changed hands was
concerned.
Price movements were for the most part
only fractional, but they were generally on
the side Of advances As is customary In
the local market, United States Steel COM
mon was the center Of interest, moving UP
about a point early in the first hour, at one
time touching 1O0h, a new top mark.
IL was only necessary for a few shares
of Electric Storage Battery to come out in
order to advance the price a half. The
company's directors meet in New York to-
day, and some time ago there was talk
Of an Increased dividend at this meeting.
This was based on the fact that It is known
that the company's earnings have been good
and that there has been some expansion
in the properties.

ness for n time, following strength in the
early trading, the wheat market turned

foreigners rallied the market sharply.

the market at Liverpool is strong.
