SAVING THE ANTELOPE

county where he had been held by
the blockade of the Mackay branch.
He busted himself for a while get
ting some bands Of hungry antelope
out of snowy region to bare ground
in the Antelope valley between Chal-
lis and Chilly. He and some cow
boys spent five days maneuvering
and driving a band of 100 antelope
TO get them to feed. They were be-
ing preyed upon by wolves and in
their weakened condition could not
help themselves. Mr.. Braley got sew
eral hundred antelope moved to
where there was feed and a chance
to outrun the wolves. The deer were
faring better because they browse
on boughs that antelope do not eat.

GET-ACQUAINTED HOUR

The Methodist church held get
acquainted hour after the regular
services Sunday. evening. On account
of the many strangers coming to the
city and the many new members be-
ing taken in, the get-acquainted hour
was arranged as the best way to
know your neighbor. The church
was packed and every one tried to
meet every one else and so make all
feel at home.
Finally the persons coming from
the same state gathered in groups to
get even closer, if possible. Almost
every state in the union was repre-
sented and then a call for those from
foreign countries was made and to
this call there were four from Eng
land and three from Canada. NO
one responded to the call from other
countries if they were present. 1t
is hoped this will be the means OF
drawing the people closer together
and cementing the friendships thus
formed.

THEY WE'RE IN FIRST

A good many people have express
ed satisfaction at having the new
and better printing house in Black
foot, and there was some banterlng
as to who would be the first custom
err when the office desk and cash reg
lister passed from the old building to
the new.
H. D. MacCosham, of the Rowles-
Mack company, brought in the first
advertising, handing it to the fore
man while the house was full OF
men, planks and block-and-tackle
and the file leader marking time
shouting, "Heo-heave," getting heavy
pieces into place.
Oscar Capps left the first order for
Job printing, some promissory note
forms being needed in his line to
bind his customers to pay.
The first person to turn in money
after the treasury moved was Levi
Manwareing who called to pay for
some posters he had ordered by wire.
The first visitor to register was
Mrs. Ed. Bradley, of Blackfoot, and
the first one to register and write
a comment was Mrs. Ruth Nelson,
of Meridian, Idaho.

BETTER SCHOOLS IN
COUNTY is OBJECT

County Superintendent of Schools
Mrs. Grace Faulconer, is at work on
a system of grading the schools, just
as the pupils are graded, on certain
merits and dement's. When school
passes the test it is said to have
standardized"
The Kimball school, for instance,
failed to "standardize" on account OF
the lack of a sanitary water supply
and flag. This does not mean that
the school is not doing good work,
and in bringing their school up to
the standard of the rest in the coun-
ty the little community may go be-
yond and set the larger ones an eX-
ample.
This flag matter is right now a
matter of awakened importance. The
state superintendent holds that the
school that does not maintain a flag
may not receive moneys from the
state allowance.
Grandview has a first class school
of two rooms, and the last word in
efficient. schools is a Fart of their
system, that is, hot lunches. Child
rem study we'll in school when they
have hot cup of cocoa.
Sterling school has an incompleted
building, or something of the sort,
which keeps it from first rank this
year, but the school is building up
library. Something almost as use
full in educating as the buildings are.
The McDonaldville school is new
and quite standard, only the long
winter came before the grounds were
smoother out, squared, clipped and
manicured, so it is said to have fail
ed to standardiZe.
District No. IL has sold bonds for
$1,000 to the state and will erect
four-room school building.
The requirements are made up in
to points, 125 points for perfection.
A school must make 100 points to
standardize. Fifty of these points
are on the teacher, the rest ON the
building, lighting, heating, the
grounds, the library maintained and
such things.

PENNANT PLAY

The second rendition of "The Pen
nant' was given at the high school
last week but as many had seen it
just before the holidays there was
not so large an audience as had been
hoped for. However, it was an ap-
preciative gathering. Those taking
the leading parts were Clarence Mar
low, Rhea Drollinger, William Low
cry, Sidney Parkinson, Blanche Dunn
Ora Rogers, Merrill Boyle, Albert
Jones, Lorene Tavey and Loa Mar
tin. All speak in high praise of the
work of the persons in the play, but
those taking part felt that the at
tendance was rather small altho they
cleared $25 which goes to the athle-
tic association The chalk talks of
Mr.. Harry Crandall were the special
features of the evening. Miss Rhea
Drollinger sang, Mr.. Crandall illus
trated the songs which was great
delight to all. This was his first
chalk talk in Blackfoot before an
audience and the people were much
pleased. One was a river scene in
sepia and then there were some
comic scenes and the beautiful scene
of Venice as given in the Stoddard
lectures. Mr.. Crandall gave talk
also on the illustrations as he drew
them and every one was delighted
with it.
The breaking of the curtain in the
last part of the play and the in
ability of the boys to get it back
in it's proper place made some extra
sport for the audience but no one
became restless, taking it all in good
part.

MEASURES AFFECTING
SCHOOL REVENUE
House Bill 257

Some understanding has arisen
concerning House bill 257. To en-
sure a clear understanding of the eff
feet of this bill the following state
ment is made:
10 Neither this bill nor any other
bill takes away the power of school
districts to make special levies. The
annual meeting has exactly the same
power in this respect as in the past
two years-namely, to levy any
amount up to Is mills for the sup
port of their schools.
(2) The bill provides a new and
higher minimum for the county levy
namely, that the county levy must
provide an amount not less than $15
per child of school age in the coun-
ty. The county commissioners may
levy more than this at their discre-
ton.
CD A good many counties in the
state have been levying more than
this amount. The new law will not
affect these counties in any way.
90 In other counties the new
law will increase the amount of
money raised by the county school
levy. This should enable practically
all school districts in the county to
get along with lower special levy.
The attention of school trustees and
taxpayers is called particularly to
this point
60 The county school fund will
he apportioned in practically the
same way as before-40 per cent in
proportion to the number of teachers
and the remainder in proportion to
census with the exception of small
amounts set aside for rural high
schools and very poor districts.

House bill 375 affects only indie

the trustees of Independent districts

have had in the past to make levies,
and in addition they may levy up to
Is mills with the approval Of the

A Period of Change.

A motion picture press bureau puts
out, in support of its depletion of his
rorjcal events the following
This has been a year OF rev0lu-
tons One year ago Nicholas was
car Of Russia, Constantine king Of
Greece, and China a republic. The
United States was preparing to elect
a president with the slogan He kept
US out of war. TodaH Russia is re-
public. Constantine an exile. and
China has drifted back to absolute
monarchy. while this country is strain
ing every nerve 10 support the war
program of the president it elected for
his peace record"
But before the press bureaus copy
reached the press the emperor Of
China had again been pushed aside.
This IS indeed a period of change
But one thing remains unchanged, and
that is the, determination of Ameri-
cans to preserve human liberty. The
spirit Of 1917 is the spirit of '76 en-
listed in greater cause, for IN rs
there was no thought Of whipping
European monarchy in Europe and
pr0cIaimiug liberty as a world doe
trine. The influence Of the sIeadfasL
purpose of Americans has made itself
felt around the world and in China
especially. That is one reason why a
change back TO monarchy in China
was. despite the lavish outlay Of Ger
man money for that purpose. doomed
to early failure.
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1917-07-20

Nearly all the arguments against the
food control bin in congress are based
upon the supposed injury il Will infiict
upon the farmer. Even the establish
ment Of a minimum price for grain,
which would seem 70 be entirely in
the farmers interest. is attacked and
Senator Gore asserted that this mini
mum price would most certainly be
the maximum and the selling price as
well. He does not say how he arrives
at this conclusion.
If the facts we're known We believe
they would reveal that much Of the up
roar being raised in certain quarters
in the supposed interest Of the farmer
is really inspired by the grain gam
blers, who have grown rich by speCu-
latiuE in the farmers products and
who object 10 the food control bill with
one voice, and have done everything in
their power to prevent its passage,
for the simple reason that under il
their occupation will be gone
While the food bill may be faulty, we
would much rather see our representa-
tiyes in congress who object to it en-
gagged in framing a substitute that
would curb the spectators than in
fighting the enactment Of any legisla-
ton on the subject. which is. In effect
playing right into the hands Of the
gamblers.
