THE RANGE CAYUSE

The models of travel are varied
Since the aeroplane's in use,
But to drive away care
There's none can compare
With the back of the range cayusc.
Thoroughbreis aren't in it,
No matter how trim and spruce,
For they lack the vim
That is born in him,
The little range cayuse.
Endurance, you bet he has it,
He'll stand all sorts of abuse,
And through rain or snow
Like the wind he'll go,
The faithful range eayuse.
With the West of his day he S passin
To Oblivion and disguise,
But our hearts beat fast
When we think of the past
And of you, old range cayuse.

GOOD PROGRAM
ABLY RENDERED

Is the vacation season is drawing to
close and an adjournment of the
Thursday Morning Music Club is now
at hand, the programs seem to be more
beautiful. and the interest OF each mem
be- quickened in their enjoyment.
The following program was rendered
yesterday at the home Of Miss Lorraine

The closing musical morning will be
Thursday. August 81, when the life of
Gluck will be considered, and fare
v-"il program will be rendered from the
different composers whose lives have
been studied during the summer. 1t is
hoped that a class i'll harmony will be
formed, also that an orchestra may be
developed from High School talent.
Blackfoot High has the talent, and its
interest can be aroused sufficiently to
warrant the undertaking. We feel that
an orchestra will add greatly to the
school life, for music is the greatest
influence in force i'll developing har-
monious lives.
If there was any lingering doubt i'll
the mind Of any citizen in Blackfoot
as to whether all the children loved
stories, glimpse in at the City Hall
Library last Friday would have dis
PEELED all such doubts. A more inter
ested group of children ranging in ages
from 3 to II, would have been hard to
find. Over fifty children were there,
and the Story Telling Lady held their
interest throughout SO that one could
hear pin drop, only when they were
impersonating some part of the story
The influence Of the Blackfoot Free
Library is already being felt in this
community, and BIackfoot owes vote
of thanks to the ladies who have made
it possible. Seventy children secured
cards and permission to take books
home. The Story Telling Lady will
greet her little friends again Friday
exactly at four O'Clock. A group OF
children will dramatize the story of the
Enchanted Butterfly.'

The several county boards of educa-
tion can likely save teachers and trus-
tees some anxiety and the schools
some confusion by having their trus-
tee appointments ready and announc-
ing them promptly at the time ap-
pointed by law.
Whatever inconvenience we are call
ed upon to bear, whatever hauowed
tradition we may be called upon to
give up, even if it be change in our
venerable school law, let us do it all
that me may give the country boy and
girl an equal chance with other boys
and girls. s.-The State.

OF ELECTING TRUSTEES
ueco Gunfer State Supervisor of Rural Schools Anayzes
Problems of Teachers and Pupils and Discusses
Conditions of Boys and Girls.

Lueco Gunter, State supervisor of
rural schools, analyzing the conditions
In South Carolina, suggests that the
remedy for many of the unbusiness-
like practices is to have the school
trustees elected one at time instead
OF in a body every two years. He
points out that in many instances the
excuse that boy is needed for work
in the fields is imaginary. Mr.. Gunter
also opposes the frequency with
which teachers change schools during
session.

the rural schools during the spring Of
the year follows:

is given a boost. Murphy is one Of
the best offensive baHplayers in the
country. He can hit hard or bunt,
runs bases swiftly and inteIligently,
and on hit-and-run plays works
smoothly with the batter.
Terry was spiked during out of the
greatest gashing caTnivals ever seen
on a ball field. Both Indians and SOx
were offenders, but the ROwlandites
claim the league leaders started the
bloody work. Chapman and Howard
of the Indians were also cut, and
once the Indian second baseman and
Weaver went to the ground with the
intention of starting a fight. The
umpires separated them.
Today the two teams are in CleVe-
land, where a continuation of the
CORY tactics is possible. Certainly
there will be no friendly feeling, and
the enmity will be intensified by the
belief of the SOx that they are on
the way to the first division berth,
while the Indians are clawing to
maintain their position at the peak
of the heap.
Through the east the Cubs wal
Hoped four first division teams in six
games out of ten. At home they
have been able to win but two games
in six from second division bands.
Pitching is the entire answer. Abroad
the Cub fingers were invincible and
needed but two or three runs with
which to cop the average game.
Back here they require a minimum
Of four, and usually more than that
when the Reds are here.
1t is not fair to place all the GEN.
sure on the mechanical failings of
the beavers. There is no doubt but
what atmospheric conditions play a
large part in the difference in effec-
tiveness. On the North Side there is
constantly a stiff wind from the lake

came from the West Side have been
quick to discover it. Vic Safer
blames his late start this season on
the change of climate.
