BLACKFOOTS PROPOSED
BLUNDER

The time has arrived for the own
ers of property in the business dis
trict at Blackfoot to consider care
fully whether =. 81 they want the
lamps on posts along the streets or
not, and to nike known their wishes
to the city council in their meeting
the eighteenth Of December.
II the posts are put IN, they will
be in the way as much as an equal
number of telephone or telegraph
poles would be If set at intervals
along the streets at the curb line.
They have long since been relegated
to the alleys because they were so
much in the way, but now it is pro-
posed to install these iron posts in
the same way, only closer together.
In order to supply current for them,
the pavement or macadam will have
to be torn up along each side of the
street, cable laid and the pavement
relaid. Lamps will rest In the top
of these fourteen-foot posts, and
dust and soot will accumulate in
them and render the light dim like
it is in those by the city hall. The

was $50 each, but they are very
much higher priced now, the last
quotation we knew Of being $3.50
apiece, and that was many months
ago. The estimated cost of installing
the new system is given at $4,000,
or about $4,000 a block, two sides
Of the street. A~person owning a
quarter block would pay about $500
for installation on two Ssides, and
city will maintain and supply the
lights. II q runaway team breaks
post down we do not know who
replaces it, but that doesn't matter.
The main thing to decide is wether
that kind of lighting is desirable as
compared with some other kind.
The other alternative is to have
overhead cables and lamps suspend
ed along the middle of the street.
Lamps can be of any size in either
system, and in either case the cable
is required, but for the overhead
system the, cable is always overhead,
and in<the other case it is always
buried underfoot., The cost of the
burying and the cost of the posts,
and the presence Of the post along

THE REASONS FOR THE
SEEMINGLY UNREASONABLE

The average man has been asking
the past week why the British did
not pour an army thru the gap made
in the German lines and roll up
the TANKS both ways and invade the
enemy country.
That is a pretty hard question for
the civilian to understand at this
distance. 1t is an opportunity that
the strategists sought for thru many
weary months of carnage before
they became convinced that they
could not use it to advantage even

HOUSE WIVES WRITE II


Housekeepersa are invited to send
us suggestions for economy In the
management of the home, whether
1t applies to cooking, washing, cloth
ing or whatever 1t may be that will
help solve the problems of the great
economic changes confronting us.
Our office force find 1t hard to
keep up their work and have prac-
teal things for the home economics
department that do not become mo-
notonous, and that do not border
too much on the impractical. Most
of the recipes for cooking deal with
things found in the kitchens and
larders of city homes rather than
homes in the country or little towns,
and again, the present situation re-
lating to foodstuffs calls for compil-
ing recipes emitting the use OF
things that are to be tabooed be-
cause of the desire Of the food COM
mission to cut down their use.
If you have an idea to contribute
to the rest of the population of the
county, please send 1t in. tt

Another IspOssibile
Has Arrived

A few years ago the visionary
folks were predicting the closing of
saloons, distilleries and breweries,
the disappearance of drunkenness
and its twin evil and the turning Of
all the wealth and energy consumed
by them into useful achievements.
The opposition to it said that such
changes would never be because they
never had been, and for the further
reason that it was illogical and i'm
possible. The saloon keeper argued
that he had to do something to make
living; the distiller and the brewer
pointed to the army of people to
whom he gave employment and to
the vast acreage of grain for which
his business made market, and in
directly he pointed to the great num-
Der of farmers who found employ
ment raising the grain. They enum-
Grated the tremendous amount Of
property that would be destroyed by
killing the liquor industry and the
great amount of employment that
would be destroyed. Presto! What
change! In few years the ma

CLOWNS GIVE BEST
TO CREATE SPORT

It seems incongruous that men of
college training and inventive genius
should devote their lives to the promo
ton Of frivolity, yet this is what a
real circus clown does. With the Sells
Floto Circus, which comes to Rich
mond May Is. are forty energetic, in
telligent and studious clowns, whose
every thought is directed toward max
ing multitudes laugh.
In accomplishing this these clowns
have made use of every science and
every sport known under the sun.
Punch and Judy were the first clowns
In the days Of early kings an honored
position was that Of the court jester.
The clowns with the Sells-Floto Shows
are testers to His Majesty. the Amer
lean Citizen"
The court jester was a buffoon
who promoted disabilities by both ac-
ton and word. His latter-day counter
part in the one-ring show was like
wise, but when circuses began to grow
SO big the human voice would not fill
the tent the clown had to resort to
pantomime to promote humor.
