SCHOOL NOTES

The averages of the members of
the Senior class for almost four
years of high school work have been
figured out. Miss Ruth Van Blari-
con receives first honors and Miss
Grace Peck second honors. The
class is to be congratulated upon hav-
ing two such fine young ladies to
represent them.
The commercial students who have
received diplomas in penmanship
under the Palmer system are grading
the penmanship of every pupil in
the grades, bu the Ayres scale. This
is expected to be Of great benefit.
The high schol basket ball team
defeated the Aberdeen team on Fri
day of last week, by a score of 80
to 20.
An interesting fact is that the saw
ings departments of our local banks
show a remarkable increase since
Thrift day. Both banks state the
savings accounts from Blackfoot
school children have practically
doubled.
The short course in the high school
ends March "a. This means several
boys and girls will quit school and
take their place on the farm.
Thieves broke into the high school
building on Sunday night of last
week. They seemed to have enjoyed
lunch in the domestic science
rooms. They then proceeded to break
two locks and stole two sets of good
mechanical drawing instruments, one
being valued at $17.5O. A clue is
being followed which may bring the
culprits to justice.
The Shelley high school will pre-
sent their play, "Amazons," Monday
night in the high school auditorium.
Preceding this will be the debate be-
tween our affirmative team and their
negative. The debate will be called
promptly at 8 o'clock.
The high school chorus, under the
direction of Prof. Lewis, is now ready
to give a concert, which will be a
great credit to the school.

LOST AND FOUND SERVICE

Have you lost or found anything?
We are fixed for you. The Repub-
lican has had a blackboard placed
on the front of the building and a
lost and found book by the telephone
and offers its service as a clearing
house for all lost and found articles.
Everything reported will be listed in
the book and dated, and also listed
on the blackboard No charge will
be made for the service, but persons
receiving its benefits are invited to
hand in a coin. Persons who are
poor or hard up are not expected to
pay. Heretofore there has been no
effective means Of restoring lost
articles, and sometimes people lose
keys or spectacles or something they
need every hour. The service we
propose will get quick action and
remedy the trouble in most cases.
Suppose, for example, that John
Bitton at Riverside, loses a coat in
the road between Oborn's store and
home; he rings As and the bookkeep-
er answers. She starts to take down
his report in the lost and found book
and says, "Why, Mr.. Bitton, your
coat is at Mrs. Hunts. w. H. Scott,
of Pingree, found it and left 1t at
the first house and they phoned in
a few minutes ago."
A lady has been up town shop
ping and on reaching home finds she
has lost something. She rings As
and states that 1t was just little
package the size of a teacup. It con-
tained skein of D. NJ G. embroid-
cry cotton, brown; the only skein Of
that shade in town. Worth only five
cents, but necessary to complete her
work. Somebody turns 1t in at the
office and it is mailed to her.
A man in the Pingree country loses
his wallet in the road and stops at
Mr.. Cope's place to ring The Repub-
lican office. A boy finds the wallet
and turns it over to G. A. Swope at
the Pingree store, and he wires in
to the clearing house. The loser
rings up again in an hour and is told
where to go to get it.
A lady goes into a meat market to
buy a steak She ceaches for her
purse and it is gone. She starts to

AROUND THE COURT HOUSE

The commissioners Of Bannock
county and two from Bingham county
Bond and Fugate, went to the Tilden
bridge, Thursday to inspect the jet
ties and rip-rap being put In to pro-
tect the bridge. They found the work
proceedingly very slowly, but they
think it is being done in such q way
that there will be no further wash
out.
A fellow named Bert Partridge, of
Dubois, had preliminary Wednesday
on charge Of bootlegging and was
bound over for trial.
Melendez Amalcar and Louis Ar
ras, two Mexicans, who were arrest
ed about week ago charged with
stealing coal from Short Line cars,
were ON the seventeenth found guilty
and fined $25 and costs each. Rail-
road special agents say that this is
but the beginning of vigorous CAM
paign which will from now on be
waged against those who practice
this class of petty theiving and that
in the future others may expect
similar treatment IL the practice Is
not discontinued.
Sheriff Simmons returned Saturday
from a trip to Salt Lake, bringing
with him w. L. West, who will be
remembered as one Of the men who
broke jail here about year ago, and
in the fight which followed his at
tempted recapture so seriously
wounded Deputy Sheriff Fackrell as
to necessitate the amputation of his
leg. The police of the Utah metrop-
oils picked up West on the fifteenth
and Immediately notified our local
officials. On Monday West waived
arraignment and his preliminary trial
was set for Monday of next week,
when he will face a charge in Judge
Doud's court of assault with intent
to commit murder.

telligence Of the pupil himself, but
one hour is none too long and an
hour and half is better.
"As long as the boy Is going to
school it is the solemn duty of the
parents to see that a certain regu-
larity of home study is carried out,
and that special attention is given
to those subjects which seem most
difficult.
"An education, no matter how ele-
mentary is for the purpose Of inn
proving the mind and will; creating
an opportunity for the development
of natural talents, and of giving q
greater and more intelligent variety
of means by which to enjoy life. Is
it not better then that the boy get
most Of what is coming to him dur
ing this period Of preparation before
going out into the world to make
use Of what he has learned? And
II his education Is to have a direct
bearing on his life work will he not
have a better chance of success, If
he makes the most of these oppor-
tunities? If your boy attending high
school does not have a regular period
for study which is utilized as such,
it is your business to see that he
does.
"A great many parents with the
best intentions in the world try to
help their children by working their
problems in mathematics or by ex-
planning other problems in science
or English. This, however, instead
of aiding the student, hinders him
and greatly interferes with the plans
Of his teachers, who deliberately give
hard problems in order to develop
the thinking and reasoning powers Of
the pupil. II the student becomes ac-
customed to having others think for
him his education will be Of no prac-
tical value when he is forced to think
for himself. But If there is a prob
lem which it seems impossible for
him to work the instructor is the one
to go to for its explanation.
Much may be done by the parent
toward keeping the students atten-
tion and interest on his work, by
visiting his classes at school occas-
sionally, talking with his. teachers
and comparing his standing with that
of the average of the class. This
shows the student that his parents
are interested in his welfare and re-
mainds him that he is there for work
and not merely for the society of his
class mates"

take the back track, but the salesman
suggests that she ring The Republi-
can office. In her excitement she be-
gins by saying, "Have you got my
purse?" A voice says, well, maybe,
SO. What was 1t like and what. did
it have in it?"
"Whw, it was black and it had
seven dollars
"Your purse is at Christ's jewelry
store. Mrs. MacCosham picked 1t
up and handed it in there just now"
A man loses his keys and is wor-
ried. If he goes to making noise
about it, some rogue may by that
means know what doors they will
open. He concludes to keep quiet
and worry. Then he remembers the
lost and found service and tells the
Republican office to lay low and
listen for keys. The janitor at the
bank finds them under some deposit
slips on table and rings the lost
and found.
We know of no reason why the
service might not get such results at
times, and make few people happy
after a short worry. We have been
doing some of that work but had
no system for it. Usually when peo-
ple ring us about their loses they re-
mark that they don't suppose they
will ever see it again, but we tell
them we think they will; that most
people like to restore lost articles.
It is a joy to the ordinary person.
We want to try it out for period
and see il Bingham county people
are not all right in such matters.
Who gets the first honor of re-
storing a lost article.

|. |. BOAK VISITS
W. 0. W. LODGE

Tuesday evening was gala time
for the w. o. W., Blackfoot Camp,
No. 693, 1t being honored with visit
and address by l. X. Boak, head cOun-
sui, w. o. w. Pacific Jurisdiction.
Neighbor Boak arrived on the after
noon train from Idaho Falls, where.
he made addresses on Sunday and
Monday.
He has been giving ten days to
visiting in his official capacity the
camps Of Idaho and is greatly graft
fed with the condition of the vari-
GUS camps as well as the general
prosperity of Idaho and can see
nothing but great future for both.
The meeting was called to order
and presided over by G. F. Hendrie.
who in pleasing and appropriate
manner introduced the various speak
ers.
DR.. Hoover, who has the honor Of
being a charter member of Walnut
Camp 167, Montpelier, Idaho, is be-
ing the second oldest camp in Idaho,
having been organized in 1894, was
asked to tell what he knew Of wood
craft, also bid welcome to the head
consul. Neighbor Leon Chapman.
who had been associated in the work
with Mr. Boak in Colorado, at pres
ent consul commander of the local
camp, was next introduced and told
many interesting and humorous
stories, concluding with short poem
addressed to the head consul, en-
titled. "We are glad to see you."
District Organizer H. d. Nevins
then followed, telling Of the head
consul's visit to the state and intro
ducing him to the meeting.
Neighbor Boak spoke for an hour,
keeping his audience at all times.
deeply enthused in his pleasing way.
He narrated the formation of the
order, 25 years ago by 27 men, of
whom he was one, at st. Charles
Hotel, Denver, Colorado, and how
from this small beginning we now
have eligible population, considered
the largest and strongest fraternal
protection society that exists. 1t is
still growing, not only giving its
members the best, but the cheapest
protection to be obtained. The order
has already paid out to widows and
orphans in benefits over $22,O00,00d,
besides having expended over ST.
100000 in helping worthy neighbors
in distress and added to all this since
1898, has been built up a reserve
fund of over $7,00O,000, all of which
was invested in state, county, muni-
cipal or school bonds of the nine
western states, comprising the Pa
cific jurisdiction. Idaho had over
$1,O0O,0OO of these bonds and the
daily interest income from these in
vestments were over $1,000; thus
insuring the stability of the craft.
He drew strong comparison be-
tween commercial and fraternal in
surance, claiming the latter was more
than insurance, it was protection,
one that could not be bartered or
taken away from the widow or or
phan.
After this address the balance of
the evening to late hour was spent
in q smoker and general social time.
Much good is expected to follow this
meeting and it was the unanimous
wish of all present that these meet
ings could happen often and that the
visit of Head Consul Boak would be
repeated.
