THEY FOUGHT NOBLY

Colored troops have been in every
war which the United States has had
and they always fought we'll The
first man killed in the Revolutionary
War was Crispus Attacks, a colored
man. Though receiving but little en-
couragement and kept in the back
ground there were colored men in the
War of 1872 who rendered excellent
service. Against the earnest protest
of large part of the people OF the
North President Lincoln authorized
the formation of Negro regiments in
the Civil War and they fought with
an abandon and courage that aston
ished the world. About 70 of these
veterans are now here in Co. B., and
they are among the best behaved and
when able to work, a very indus
trious body of veterans. 1t was Ne
gro regiment that saved the day at
San Juan Hill during the Spanish
American War and it was Negro sol
diers that gathered about Captain
Boyd at Carrizal and with scorn of
death, joked while they fought against
many times their number, refusing to
desert their white officers while there
was hope of getting them out alive.
In the present draft of the National
Army their admission is discouraged
or some reason or other, but in the |
Regular Establishment they are re-
,ruited for the colored outfits.

The 18th National Encampment of
the Veterans of Foreign Wars will be
held August 27-3O, in New York City
The McAlpin Hotel, Broadway and
34th street, New York City, will be
the meeting place for the veterans of
the Cuban, Porto Rican, Chinese and
Philippine and other foreign service
campaigns, and large number of del
egates are expected to attend. The
man outside can hardly understand
the fellowship that exists among those
who have served under the Starry
Banner in foreign chimes, the memory
of the bugle call and the bullet spat,
the sayings and adventures of the
hike, when the night shadows of the
closing day might mean the last roll
call for some of them. After the bus
mess meetings a big time will be en-
joyed at Coney Island.

AMERICAN L AS A
TRADING CENTER
By GEORGE BRADSHAW

American Falls is the best grain
market in southern Idaho. The great
quantity of wheat produced, its ex-
ceptional quality for milling purposes,
the number of buyers and their fair
ness, all contribute to draw patronage
from a long distance. This gives mer-
chants an opportunity to develop and
extend their trade, which opportunity
they have made mutually advantageous
to themselves and their patrons.
Back Of this great production Of
grain and other products of the farm.
are the farmers. 1t takes progressive.
high-class farmers to produce such
great quantities of high class products
as have poured into American Falls.
such farmers make stable business
institutions.
Another contributing factor is the
great development that has taken
place. Everything had to be provided
In the way of buildings and farm
equipment. Comparatively little was
brought in immigrant cars other than
household goods and a little livestock.
As a large part of those coming to de-
velope our lands We're young, unmar-
rled men, a condition which is being
rapidly changed because eating their
Fosn cooking has forced them to re-
aiize that man was not made 10 live
alone, has made the home-furnishing
business as good as other lines.
American Falls is practically a new
town. It was established in 1852
when the Oregon Short Line was built.
but was only a supply point for a few
farmers and stockmen. In 1890 its
population was only 30. BY 1905 it
had grown to possibly $50 or 200. In
1907 it began to take on new life, and
has grown steadily ever since. The
town has never gotten ahead of the
country.
In the early years of development
there was much credit business done,
and American Falls merchants did
their share toward making it possible
for many farmers to succeed. Credit
is still being extended, but most lines
of business are either on a cash bust
ness or changing to a cash basis. A
credit business is expensive to both
merchants and their patrons, on ac-
u OF losses and interest charges
the former must meet and the latter
must eventually pay. The cash basis.
therefore, will work to the interest
of all.
The volume of business transacted
is indicated by freight receipts and
shipments. During the fiscal year
ending April 80. 1916, the freight
received and sent out was in excess
of 1923, 900 900 pounds.

cannot refrain from calling attention
10 a few in whom we take just pride.
Miss Alice Beach, superintendent Of
schools in Bingham county. for four
years prior to her coming to us teaches
a rural school of almost fifty pupils.
Last year Miss Beach did much to
create an interest in local history by
using the story Of a noted Blackfoot
Indian, Cheney-eye, as the theme of
language and painting lessons, finally
having the children dramatic his life
story. This year Miss Beach has made
her school a socializing element, invit-
ing the children by classes to her
boarding place, serving dinner as one
would to adult company and afterward
entertaining them for the evening.
Mrs Cora Darling and her boys
have made cupboards and serving
tables for use in serving warm
lunches and at community gatherings.
She is the teacher who has her piano
in school and who takes such delight
in physical training and expressive
reading.
Mrs. NJ. Shelton-Wilson, gentle and
low voiced, her little daughter one of
her pupils, proves hat in one instance
at least, the experience of mother
hood has made a better teacher. At
any note, her school room possesses
the charm of a real home. The same
thing is true of Mrs. Castor.

ing.
Miss Skartvedt began the warm lunch
movement in Power county only a
year ago. She was in one of the
plain, cheap buildings with next to no
equipment. Yet so strong was her
belief in the value of the warm lunch
that she made a double boiler out Of
a syrup pail and the wash basin. Of
course the patrons were interested.
In less than two weeks they had con-
tributed a kettle, a dish pan, spoons.
etc, and the success of the movement
was assured. This year Miss Skart-
yedt is in another district. Her girls
have done most of the second year
sewing club work. Her boys have
manual training, the district having
provided a bench. They have also
purchased a two burner gasoline stove,
and the warm lunch is a daily feature.
The menu for one week was as fol-
lows: Monday, apple sauce; Tuesday,
bean chile; Wednesday, cocoa; Thurs
day, tomato soup; Friday vegetable
soup. The children have learned to
bake bread. cookies, cake, many kinds
of p%uddings, soups and escalloped
vegetables. The cost of gasoline is
only rs cents for two months. Bread
