Gaunt Starvation
Mr.. Herbsman carried a message
of preparedness too. He painted the
actual want of Europe, as now
threatened, a terrible, body-shrivel-
ing calamity that is IRE to fall upon
the peoples overseas unless America
can supply them. Raise every bit
of food material you can," said Mr..
Herbsman. America will not starve.
but Europe will.
In fact his whole message was
virile and patriotic, refreshing and
b~olstering. All of his ideas have life
to them. All of his arguments have
weight and muscle. His personality
is instantly friendly and pleasing.
AS he inspired 20 of US he could
have inspired 500.

BLACKFOOT AS SEEN BY
COMMUNITY SPECIALIST

J.. G. Herbsman is the advance
representative of the Ellison-White
c%hautauqua system, and into every
town that has prospects of getting
the big tent entertainment he goes
to study the town as a salesman
studies his prospect.
Therefore Mr.. Herbsman is an ex-
pert town appraiser, and some of the
nice things he said about B~lackfoot
should crafty us. In the same mea-
sure his criticisms should make us
think.
The reception supper at the Eccles
hotel was not nearly so well attend
ed as Mr.. Herbsman's lively reputa-
tion warranted. 1t rained, too. and
the supper was at 7. At any rate
about 20 enthusiasts came out. They
took away much more than was
taken from them in time and money
An organization for making a sue
cess of this seasons chautauqua was
effected as follows:
James D%uckworth, president; Fred
The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1917-05-25

Simons, vice president; Marcus
Farmer, secretary; S. l.. Reece,
treasurer; c. VI. Fisher, chairman
ticket committee; Byrd Trego, chair
man advertising committee; N. J.
Thorstenberg, grounds committee;
H. D. McCosham, auto parade com
mittee; Mayor Stephens, entertain
ment committee. These officers and
chairmen are to enlist the help of
other progressives of the community
in boosting chautauqua. OF them
selves they form an executive COM
mittee having complete control of all
details in the publicity program and
carrying out the entertainment.
What is Coming
Mr.. Herbsman declared the forth
coming c~hautauqua to be equal in
every respect to that of last year and
in his opinion superior in some
points. The lecturers are widely
known platform men who have been
active in great movements nationally
and internationally. We are to have
a splendid light opera company, and
for another number n of Americas

foremost opera singers, James Cod
dard. In all, about "a performances
of the usual high grade.
BlackfOot Needs
Complimenting Blackfoot on its
wonderful transformation since his
last visit Mr.. Herbsman said it raj
as if some magic wand had been laid
over our city and worked wonders.
He admired all of the new buildings.
He warned us against overconfldence
and satisfaction, tho, and mentioned
a few things still needed.
You ought to clean up this va
cant lot north of the city hall; 1t
is all Uttered up with water wagons,
machinery, poles, tin pipes and rub
bish. 1t Immediately catches the eye
of the visitor. Outsiders will see it
first crack, and laugh and say:
That's the way with all these small
towns!'
"You have an excellent lighting
system, but poor lights. You should
have more electroliers like those be-
fore the city hall.
Take pains with your park.
understand the grounds adjacent to
it are for sale, and / think the best
thing you could do would be to buy
an additional five acres for amuse-
ment grounds. And have an en-
trance to your park before it is sur
rounded by houses and impossible to
get at.
"If you could cooperate with the
railroad to park the r~ight-of-way on
the west side as they have on the
east it would make an excellent ap-
proach to your city. And make lit
tie parks around the town, to stop
and rest in.
Eliminate the heaps about town,
Many of your fine residences are
of rubbish and ashes.
IF possible, have a committee OF
good planners to plan the growth
and advance of your town. Many
places have adopted this scheme. 1t
saves the selfish scrapping over i'm
lprovements. The committee goes
over the town and from time to time
makes up maps of it showing where
the next pavement or the next park
will go. The most needed improve
ment always comes next.
THE only efficient way to run, a
town is by the single manager plan
1t has been successful used by
many cities, and it is the best city
management. Would you intrust
any other big business to as con-
fused a mass Of officials, inadequate
ly paid, as you do your cities? And
the manager plan saves money every
time. 1t can not fail in that.
"Have community doings. Work up
some activities into which the whole
community may join
Dead Timber
MI. Herbsman spoke of cemetery
cities" those which are all dead ex
cept for one thing: the cemetery

DRY bones without life, such COM
munities, and they I've make for
anything but tragedy"

knocker. But the booster enjoys life

FINANCES AND MARKETS
TRepublIcan A. P. Leased Wire

NEW YORK, Dec. 22.-CWall street)-Trading in stocks today was inconsequential with a sluggish un- dertone. Rails and some of the more prominent industrials were mildly re- actionary, but shipping, oils, motors and few less distinctive war issues showed moderate steadiness and oc- casional strength.
 Short covering was productive of more eveness toward the close, United States Steel and allied stocks making up their losses. Sales amounted to 173,000 shares.
 The market for bonds far exceeded in interest that for other securities, Futher substantial recoveries were scored by the Anglo-French 5's, Paris 6's and French municipals. On the crub, where Russian govern ment 512 and 61s per cent bonds are dealt in, overnight advances of to per cent were reported. Domestic | bonds manifested no material change Liberty As were dull at 97.04 to 97.0t with greater activity in the 31a's al 9S.36 to 9S.24. Total sales par value $2,625,OOO.
 Old United States bonds were un- changed on call during the week. The feature of the bank statement was 8 contraction of s93,600,000 in actual re- serves, reducing that item by more than half, with an accompanying de- crease of $412, 100000 in loans.

WEEKLY MARKET REVIEW

NEW YORK, Dec. 22-Cumulative evidence that a successful conclusion of the war must involve a greater strain on this country's resources and increased apprehension regarding inn pending domestic problems arising from that conflict accounted for fur ther serious depreciation of values on the stock exchange this week.
 Part of this loss was recovered later, the rally being accompanied by peace rumors. Especially significant from the bankers view point, was the substantial rebound in foreign bonds notably British and French issues.
 It has been determined definitely that the railroad situation is to be the subject of special message to congress after the holidays. Legis- lation on this important matter will be recommended, but Wall street con- tinues to fear drastic measures.
 Additional trade restrictions were implied by reports the administration l intends to ask legislation for absolute control of such commidities as coal. iron and oils.
 The fuel shortage has curtailed se- riously production of finished iron and | steel and offers new problems to the labor situation.
 These disturbing conditions were supplemented by an unfavorable crop outlook, the government report dis closing low condition for winter wheat in the face of the largest acre. age ever planted.
 | Increase in the local federal reserve | discount rate places that bank on the same level with it's associates. Smaller bank clearings indicate business con- | traction at what often has been the most active period of the year.
