COLE BROS WORLD
TOURED SHOWS

Away from the old time methods
of presenting tented amusement en-
terprises. is Cole Bros World-Tour-
ed show and trained animal .exhiol-
ton, which will give two perform
ances, afternoon and night at Black
foot, on Wednesday, May 9. The
Cole Bros world-toured show
travels in itssown two all steel trains.
AS it's title denotes, animal features
predominant, but do not by any
means form all of the program; high
class European novelties and horse,
pony, dog and monkey acts are in
terwoven into the program with such
varied effects, that the nlooked is
taken from one surprise to another
with such wonderful rapidity that he
hardly knows what to expect next,
and it ia in the arranging of the
program so as to take advantage OF
these surprises wherein lies the
charm of Cole Bros performance.
A noticeable feature of the show
is it's absolute freedom from anything
suggestive that mars so many per-
formances; it's clean wholesome fun,
the real comedy of the clowns, in
burlesquing important topics OF the
day. and grotesque representations or
people prominent in the limelight, IS
real humor and greatly appreciated.
Twenty funny clowns under the
leadership of Happy Charley Post,
the master clown of the day, features
many absurdly comic acts. "The big
Suffragettes Meeting "a Baseball
Number" Comedy Policemen, Fly
ing Machine and Automobile Num-
her," "Rube and Old Lady Number,
and dozens of other foolish and lud1-
crous comedy acts, by clowns who
are eminent in foolery.
Prof. F., ]. Rogers the worlds
greatest horse trainer, with his
troupe of five educated performing
white Arabian horses. Prof. Chas.
Barry with his troupe of educated
dogs and Shetland ponies will be the
delight of the children and interest
ing to the grownups; 25 of these
ponies present drills and difficult
military maneuvers with all precision
and skill of trained soldiers. This is
recognized as the best trained school
of ponies seen with any tented or
ganization Lee Smith and his train
ed trick mules. Herr Diffenbach's
trained bears are another European
Herr Diffenbach comes
highly recommended by the press Of
Europe and the performance Of his
huge Siberian grizzly bears range
from comedy to sensationalism.
The above are only few of the
many acts interviewer in a program
of undisputed excellence.
The music with Cole Bros show is
a special feature, Director C. F.
Bronson, formerly with Sousa," has
a concert band of 80 artists. The
Va, Dispatch, says Bron-
sons concert band is a feature OF
this thoroly first-class show. 1t is

WHO DID NOT CULTIVATE
MAY LOSE THEIR LAND

Secretary of the Interior Franklin
K. Lane is urging the passage of a
bill now in congress which would
empower the government to take
over and secure the cultivation Of
all private lands on government ir-
rigation projects which were not Gull
tivated by the owners last season,
and on which water is available. The
owners may retain the use of their
land in that case only by giving as
surances that they will cultivate it.

Proper Respect
to the Colors

There has been ''let George de
it,. spirit in Blackfoot ever since
can remember, and for that reason
we have let many errors go uncor'
rected for long periods of time. This
lax habit of ours has led a great
many strangers to misjudge us en-
tirely.
The most fragrant error is the one
to which l now refer: The misuse
of the flag on most of the public
buildings of Blackfoot. The flag on
the Irving schiol has been flying con-
tinuously since the beginning of the
term, thru storms and sleet, rain and
sun, night and day, until it bears as
little resemblance to the beautiful
Stars and Stripes, as white to black.
The flag over the Court House which
has been flying ever since our break
with Germany, Is likewisaStattered
and soiled almost beyond recognition.
Here is what Harry Lee King, deputy
commissioners of Boy Scouts, has to
say in regard to flag etiquette:
1. The proper time for raising
the flag is sunrise or after, never be-
fore.
g.. The flag must be lowered at
sunset.
3. 1t is a mark of disrespect to
allow the flag to fly thruout the
night.
Those who are in charge of the
flags on public buildings probably
excuse themselves for the discourtesy
on the ground that the flag poles
are located in inaccessible places,
making it difficult to take them down
every night. If such is the case, it
is up to the board of trustees and
the county commissioners to provide
better ones at once. Otherwise the
flag should not be raised at all. The
above excuse can not be made to
apply to the Central school, however,
because the flag pole is in the yard
in front of the building and can
be gotten at very easily, and yet no
earlier than Saturday, April Fl, the
national colors were dropping from
this very flag staff and in the rain
Now that the Blackfoot High
school has a cadet corps, l would
suggest that their instructors begin
by teaching them the color cere-
monies and allow them to raise and
lower the flag on all three school

House, whose duty it is to raise the
flag are too rheumatic to climb to

sestions, and they did not work.
