"THE PRICE SHE PAID,

"The Price She Paid" with Miss
Clara Kimball Young as the star,
will be the Selznick Pictures feature
at the Orpheum threatre next We'd
nesday and Thursday. This photo
drama of the life of a beautiful
young society woman is from the
immensely popular novel by David
Graham Phillips. 1t outlines the
problems in the life of young wo-
man, used to luxurious surround
ings, who finds herself almost with
out resources. After a disastrous
marriage she determines to become
an opera singer, and the difficulties
she encounters form a series of
scenes of unusual interest. How she
finally reaches independence and
freedom is a fascinating story. The
director is Charles Giblyn, this being
the first of his Selznick productions.

DELAYS ROAD BUILDERS
PASS THRU BLACKFOOT

Friday morning Warden F. E. De-
Kay, of the state penitentiary, pass
ed thru Blackfoot with IA convicts
enroute to Conant valley to cut a
dugway along the foot of the noun
tain for the state highway to save
travellers going over the hills.
The prisoners occupied the rear
end of the rear coach, and one of
their number acted as foreman of
the party They were all "honor
men" according to the new accept
ance of the term in prison work as
1t is conducted in many prisons now,
and every man has had it instilled
in him that the way to build char
acter is to be true to every trust
great and small, and when he can
trust himself he can be trusted by
others. The habit of being true is
formed by thinking and acting along
lines of honor. and this brings peace
of mind and the honorable conduct
that shortens the term of service.
Where this modern means of Sc
curing penitence is followed, there is
-iary-whereve the man
is, whether in the barred cell or out
in the open field or road doing USE
full work. Mr.. DeKay says these
men each receive SO cents day and
found, and when discharged are in
good physical and moral condition
and have money in purse They do
not wear the prison garb, and there
was nothing about their appearance
to mark them from any other bunch
of laborers. When the train stop
ped some of them got off and chat
ted along the tracks, and when it
pulled out they were all on. Those
who wofk on the state farms do not
receive wages, but they often work
overtime for neighboring farmers
and on Sundays, earning a little
money and conducting that much of
an enterprise as free men. Time
passes quickly for them, they do not
brood over past mistakes when oc-
cupied with such work, and the term
of restraint becomes a period of
penitence rather than a period of
bitterness and of corrupting influ-
ence. Prisoners think and talk
honor now, where they used to think
and talk deception and crime.

DEATH OF MRS.
EUNICE BELCHER

Eunice Belcher, mother of John
Belcher of Basalt, passed away at
their temporary home at Blackfoot
on Thursday evening, October 4, at
the age of SO years.
Mrs. Belcher came to Blackfoot
only a few weeks ago from Kansas,
and was suffering from infirmaties
before coming to Idaho. On Thurs
day morning she seemed stronger
and brighter than usual, and sat up
at the table with the family for
breakfast, but had them send for her
son, John, who was at the farm,
for she seemed to have premonitions
that the end was near. He arrived
at o'clock in the afternoon and at
s she passed away as if in sleep.
The funeral was conducted on Sat-
urday and interment was made at
the family burying ground at Firth.

United Press. Regarding the re.
ports now current, however, I wish
to say there are no definite arrange

Liebold refused to say more. His

mean the manufacture Of pleasure
