over the meeting of the civic league,
Thursday evening, did his best to get
something started on the subject of
cleaning up the town. He has been
obliged to wade thru deep grass and
weeds and along ditch banks found.
ering with the luxuriance of sheep
pasture, and his only alternative was
to go around by another route that
is not so bad but longer. That Is
what lies between the business dis
trict and his home and he has been
unable to secure a remedy. There
are men who have been candidates
for places on the city council who
looked on in contentment with weeds
in front of their homes so luxuriant
that quite band of sheep could hide
in them unobserved 1t all goes to-
prove that a municipal sheep herd
would be hailed as treasure by the
wealthy, the influential and the SOL
ciety leaders 1t ought to appeal to
them, this proposition to buy band
of sheep, turn them over to herders
and have the weeds made into money
while the property owners play cards,
ride in luxurious autos or entSntain
company. Representative P. g.
Johnston is his speech before the
civic league sounded keynote, the
latter half of which should appeal to-
them while the other half is taken
care of by others. 1t was the state
ment that when we solve our prob
lens of production Alright it will be-
in keeping with the scriptural adj
monition, "By the sweat of thy brow
and by the flocks of the fields shalt
thou earn they bread" We are sure
that if the strong and the sturdy will
attend to the "sweat of the brow, I
the others will be abundantly willing
to allow the CLOCKS of the fields |
to do all the rest. We close our rel
marks as we began, "Blackfoot is
liable to have municipal sheer
herd. 1t is possible and practical and
sensible"

SEASONABLE
WARNING TO
FARMERS

This is the time of the year when
nursery orders are filed and the
goods delivered These are times
when orders for some kinds of goods
are filled almost any way ana Win
almost any kind of goods, and GUS
toners are expected to receive ana
pay for them whether 1t is what tney
wanted or not.
Nursery goods may be delivered
to you with a slight amount OF roots,
and somewhat dried out and lifeless.
The roots may have been cut on
rather close up, and they may be
torn and bruised. The tops may bel
long and heavy, and small root sys-
tenn with large tops means that there
must be a severe cutting back or
the tops or the plants will die. Theyl
are very likely to die anyhow II the.
roots have been misused ana scurte

When your nursery goods arrive
they will be wrapped in burlap and 10
may be inconvenient to take of the
wrappings and make an e4&minatiasl
to see Just what you have. Besides,
you may be in a hurry, or the one
who delivers them to 5ou may be
in hurry.
If you are in hurry you had bet
ter get over your rush and do a lit
tie investigating before receiving the
stock. If the other fellow Is In a
hurry there is probably a reason for
it, and it will be very important toI
you that he get over his hurry and
wait while you lay out the bundlesl
and look each tree over carefully till
you reach conclusions. They may
have been badly dried out and may
have been we'll sprinkled just before
delivery, and you may be told by
the man making delivery, that they
have been kept damp all the time
while in transit. That may or may
not be true, but if you pay your good
money and examine the goods after

getting satisfaction if you find them
all stone dead and have witnesses to|
the fact.

AMERICAN AVIATORS
DOWN 80 AIRPLANES

Paris. = The Lafayette flying
corps, composed of American avia-
tors and commanded by two French
officers, Captain Georges Thenault
and Lieutenant de Laage de Meux,
has shot down 80 German airplanes,
according to a semi-official communi-
cation to the Associated Press today.
Sergeant Raoul Lufbery has account
ed for six, Sub-Lieutenant Bert Hall
for three, and a number of others for
one each. The late Sergeant Norman
Price shot down two and the late
Sergeant Kitten Rockwell two.
Speaking of Sergeant Rockwell,
how had the honor of bring down
the first victim of the American
squadron, Captain Thenault said:
Rockwell scarcely gave his help
er time to fill the gasoline reservoir
between flights. He was always
where the German machines were
thickest. Over Vaux and Douaumont
Gin the battle of Verdun) he forced
many of them to land behind their
own lines to escape him." a.
The Lafayette corps appears from
this communication to have partici-
pated in the severest battles of Yer
dun and the Somme, contributing
largely to the security of French avi-
! ators by relentlessly pursuing Ger
man machines and mastering the air
over the fields of battle, thus enab-
ling the observation pilots to regu-
late the fire of the French artillery.
1t was the Lafayette corps which
escorted the squadron that lombard
ed the Mauser rifle works at Oben-
dorf, in the course of which there
were numerous engagements, three
German machines being brought
down.
Sergeant Lufbery, with six German
machines to his credit, is now rated
among the expert aerial fighters. The
work of the Americans, however, can
not be measured by the number OF
machines actually credited to them
because they are often fighting be-
hind the German lines and airplanes
which fall there are not credited in
the count. Moreover, the Lafayette
corps is now we'll known to the Ger.
mans, who avoid contact with the
Americans over the French lines.

Germany May Try
Blockading America

High navy officers of France and
Great Britain have been in confer
ence for several days with American
naval officers at Washington formu-
lating plans of cooperation between
the entente and the United States.
The first aid we are to. give our al
lies is to relieve them of the Atlantic
seaboard patrol. American warships
will take charge Of this side OF the
Atlantic from the Panama canal to
Canada. AS soon as these lines are
established the French and British
patrols will be withdrawn, and our
ships will use French and British
naval bases whenever necessary.

jects of foreign states, who are re-
siding in this country, lest their bank
or other property should be seized
by the government on account of a
state of war existing between this
country and foreign country, are
set at rest by a statement issued as
early as February 8, in which is the
following sweeping assurance:
"* The government of the
United States will in no circum-
stances take advantage of state OF
war to take possession of property
in which international understand
ings and the recognized law of the
land give it no just claim or title
1t will scrupulously respect all pri-
vate rights alike of its own citizens
and of the subjects of foreign
states"

The placing of an order by the war

All Ports Closed to the Germans
A Geneva newspaper points out
that practically all ports of the world
are now closed to German ships.
After China shut them out came the
lookup of South American ports, and
all there is left for the exporters of
Germany is little Siam, way over
on the other side Of the Pacific.
Enlistments for Period of War
Following a conference between
the president and Secretary of War
Baker, Thursday last, it was an
nounced that in the present emery
epcy all men who enlist in the regu-
lar army or the national guard are
to be kept in service only until the
end of the war. This places all men
enlisted in either service since the
declaration of war on volunteer
basis, while they at the same time
have advantage of an organized mill
tary system into which they are fitted
with but little difficulty. This plan
is not a compromise, nor an after
thought, but was contemplated, in
sists Mr.. Baker, when the admins

May Build 500 Wooden Ships
Word was received at Seattle last
week that the government contem-

declared that if price was the only
thing to stand in the way of building
there would be no draw backs on
that score.
Government Will Not Buy Wool at

If the manufacturers stand by the

cording to an announcement made
last week. 1t was decided previously
by the council of national defense
that the government should buy raw
wool for the manufactu of clothing
supplies, but after hearing the quota
ton made by representatives of the
wool growers the plan was for the
time dropped. If the government
finds that prices are too high it will
take the matter up again and buy
raw materials.
A despatch received at Salt Lake
City from Mr. Hagenbarth, now al
Washington, advises the wool grow.

that the government has secured all
the wool necessary for the present
and would not in any way interfere
with the market prices.

news that the government had gone
