Third Time, in Boise.

Promoter Nick Collins has decided
to bring Gordon Mckay and Harry

THINGS LOOKED ROSY.
Regarding the success West high had
this season the Salt Lake Tribune
says:
West high looked good early in the
season. The boys are all big fellows.
They made fine looking eleven. With
a number of old men in the harness, II
looked pretty rosy for the west siders
ut the beginning of the year. The upset
ut Payson seemed to take little of the
pepper out OF them Cor shall we call
It conceit?) and from then on they
settled down to hard work. Richard

season. The team did not produce. Tho

the East high contest. when 1t asserted
itself, both in the student body and

was too late. The defeat by East Side
was one that will long be remembered

GLAD FOR PEACE
WITH UNCLE
Tribute Paid Gerard by Ger
mans; Pleased He Can Re-
port Personally

Berlin, Jan. Z. via London, Jan. s.-<
After the customary toasts to Emperor
William and President Wilson had been
drunk at the dinner to Ambassador
Gerard Saturday night and kilograms
expressing the delight of the assem-
blage at the continuance of good rela-
tions had been sent to the heads of tha
two nations. President Wolf of the as
sociation introduced DIR. Helfferich, the
imperial vice-cha ncellor. The vice.
chancellor, speaking in German, opened
with a grateful tribute to Mr.. Gerard's
acquaintances with Germans and Ger
many.
Just because we know that Ambas-
sador Gerard has earnestly endeavored
to understand the German people," said
DR.. Helfferich. 1--WE were glad that he
could go on a short visit to his home
country after several years residence in
the midst of the great war and be able
to report personally to the home au-
thorities what he had seen of our
country in the grave trials of the war.
We have nothing to conceal and can
only wish that through the fog of new
barriers and Misrepresentation that the
world could see us as we are and as
we thing, fight and work. Then there
would be better chance for peace"
DR.. Helffrich closed with n declara-
ton that Germany desires nothing from
neutrals, neither assistance nor favors,
nothing but neutrality-neutrality ia
Vorlng neither side and giving equal
respect to all belligirent parties. He
expressed the hope that peaceful mer-
chant ships would soon again be ply
ing from Germany to the United States.

City Bakers Will Not
Increase Bread Prices

No increase will be made in the
price of bread in the city at present
1t was announced to-day at the larg-
est bakeries in the city and vicinity. In
November at the convention of the
State Bakers Association O. one-cent
increase per loaf was predicted
Shortly afterward bakers in Harris
burg announced that the increase
would probably be adopted here but
to-day it was learned that the pro-
posed raise will not become effective.
Heads of several of the big bak-
cries were unanimous in agreeing to
continue at the present prices, and no
change will be made in the five-cent
loaf. Although the wheat market to-
day is far above normal, it was said,
prices have not touched the figures
quoted in October and November
when the association met. Local
bakeries claim, however, that other
commodities have increased in price
also, and that they would be justified
in raising their prices, but for the
present they will make no change.
