but far more frequently among
children.
There are children who lie and
cheat and even steal. simply be-
cause they have an unusually vivid

usually habitual liars OF this sort
are children whose natural craving
for attention has been over-stimu-
lated or unduly repressed. As be-
tween the two. the spoiled child Is
less likely to tell seemingly motive
less lies than the child who,
through neglect or repression. finds
life cold and empty.
Keep a child busy in useful &C
tivities. keep him physically up TO
par, provide him with interesting
reading matter. and give him love
in ample but not too ample measure.
This Is the best means for curing
and preventing any tendency TO i'm
aginative lying.
AS President Hall OF Clark uni
versity has put it in more academic
language:
THE more varied and interesting
and absorbing the daily life, the
more the best and the strongest
feelings are stirred and given vent;
the more the youthful! soul palpi-
tates with the Joy OF existence and
accomplishment, the more zestful
is the knowledge acquired and the
less is the temptation to any form

WAR WITH INDIANA.
The idea is this:
If this had proven to be regular
bandit raid it would have proven at the

is not capable of keeping down Indiana
bandits, and it would have been neces-
sary for us to send troops in to kill
everybody in Indiana, women and chill

And the worst of it is, we need all of

PAPER FAMINE INCREASING

The scarcity Of print paper for
making newspapers is growing more
acute every day, and a crisis Is ex-
pected to be reached within a few
weeks. Last week this office secured
part of a. ton at the rate Of $11O, and
kicked on the price. This week we
knew more about the paper market
and wired for two tons at $12O ana
were afraid we might be too late.
The visible supply that is usually
held in warehouses from which to
fill orders is practically exhausted
and wholesalers are merely selling
what they can ct. The manufactur-
ers are merely making up what raw
materials they can get, and punk
looking stuff it is. Readers will soon
begin to notice that the newspaper
look more like wrapping paper than
heretofore, and the publications that
are being sent out promlscuously
will cease to arrive unless they are
paid for. Reports have 1t that east

The New Hotel Needs q Name. The
Idaho Republican VIII Give
Twenty-Dollar Gold Piece i.
For Suggestion
INDIAN NAME PREFERRED

The Idaho Republican wants to buy
a suitable name for the new hotel
now in course of erection at Black
foot, and will give $40 to the person
Suggesting name acceptable to the
Eccles Investment company. They
are anxious to adopt a name that
suits them and that also suits the
people of Blackfoot and in submit
ting the matter to the public to offer
suggestions we ask that names be
sent to this office promptly. 1t is
desirable that names shall be easily
spoken, and preference is likely to be
given to an Indian name that is
smooth and musical and that has a
suitable significance. Persons send
ing in names are requested to explain
their significance if they can.
Blackfoot is not noted for the
beauty of it's names and attractive
ness of places surrounding it. We
have Blackfoot, Snake river, the
asylum, the sand hills, the desert and
the lava beds, and none of them
charm the visitor by reason Of the
names. 1t is only when they come
in contact with the real thing that
the responsiveness Of the name Is for
gotten, barring perhaps the asylum.
Blackfoot and surrounding country
will be interested in adopting name
for it's new hotel that attracts rather
than repels, and the projectors of this
enterprise invite everybody to partici-
pate in suggesting its name. Boise
has the Idanha and Owyhee; Pocatel-
10 has the Yellowstone and the Op-
portunity is open for Blackfot to have
anything that will suit best.
In rejecting upon the history of
the Indians who have inhabited this
part of the country the Atsina tribe
holds place, and the editor of this
paper thought he had smooth musi-
cal name for the hotel until his wife
searched her Indian library for it's
significance and found it was-say it
in whisper, "gut people," OF course,
this was sufficient reason for drop
ping the name, but Mrs. Trego found
another that is smooth and musical
but rather long, "WastaWana." That
is the name of a Bannock chief of
some note, and when she secured the
picture it showed him a rather noble
looking red man. The objection to
this name is that it is rather long. If
this name should finally be adopted,
no prize will be awarded to Mrs.
Trego. The competition is open to
everybody but the members of the
editors family.

SUCCESS OF BLACKFO0T
FAIR DEPENDS ON FARMERS

land or ten or twenty times as much
|of dry land.
II the dry farmers from the hills
and high valleys in the eastern end
of the county would bring down some
of their exhibits and place them by
the side of the products from the
desert and the irrigated farms, and
take notice of the stern environments
of the one and the luxury and COM
fort of the other, he would find in
spiration in the fact that he had
neither to combat the bleak plains
and hot winds of the one nor pay the
great expense of canal assessments
of the other, but would go back with
greater love for his cold spring and
the shade of his groves of quaking
aspens.
II only somebody would prepare an
exhibit showing the house and yard
of the beautiful irrigated homestead,
and next to that show the house and
yard of the average desert farmer,
and then suggest how to make the
average home as pretty and attrac-
tive as the best of them by simply
guiding the forces of nature till they
do the work of beautifiyng, the home
makers of town and country might
all receive inspiration for advancing
their own interests by adding the
wealth of comfort and beauty If that
much and no more could be accom-
;plished by the fair of 1916, it would
ultimately be worth as much perhaps
as to place an automobile at every
home free. The advantage of making
better homes is something that grows
with the passing years and pays rich
dividends as time goes on, and the
Blackfoot fair aims not alone to cul-
tivate better animals and more of
them, more yield per acre of stple
crops and garden truck, but to en-
courage the making of better houses
and barns, better yards and barn
yards, better furniture and fixtures
within them and more conveniences,
more that is pleasing and comforting,
more that is uplifting and calculated
to give contentment and to inspire
for great undertakings with more GER
