HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS IN
IMPRESSIVE COMMENCEMENT

Commencement with its usual fes-
tivities of JOY and sorrow, regret and
pleasure, was all that even enthusias-
tic youth could hope for. The music,
the orations and the addresses were
especially good and each carried
helpful message. "The Alarm Call
of Today" by Miss Winnifred Bic
than, salutatory, dealt with the
call for specialization, for prepara-
ton, for efficiency, for devotion and
for sacrifice that the present crisis
of affairs demands. "The Awaken
ing-the Answer by Miss Stella
Yost, valedictorian, responded with
the thought that just as each call
to individual service has been met
in the religious, the political, the in
dustrial life of this great country, SO
will call to arms be met by cap
able men and women, for there is
no duty too exacting, no sacrifice too
great for America when aroused to
Ia sense of her responsibility. Both
orations were we'll written and well
delivered, and were interesting and
patriotic to the last word. J. F.
Lewis, highly esteemed and admired
among the class, delivered the ad-
dress to the graduates. His subject,
"The Mission of Service" furthered
the thoughts already presented and
was the final keynote Of duty, service
and love of country Following q
short talk, W. D. Vincent presented
the diplomas to the IS high school
graduates and to the eighth grade
graduates. Much of merit could be

MOBOLIZING OUR
RAILROAD ARMY

The American Railway associa-
tion's special committee on national
defense has called upon the carriers
to demonstrate to the American peo-
pie what their 2,626,O00 miles of
railroads, working as unit can ac-
complish in the great emergency of
the present war. They are relying
for results on the belief that the
American railroad man is as patri-
otic as any other and that he will
respond in this national crisis, just
as men in all wilks of life are doing.
In the appeal for greater efficiency
strees is laid on ways to get more
work out of the existing freight cars.
1t is possible that the equivalent of
l779,0O0 additional freight cars
might be thrown into immediate use,
making total increase of more than
number of locomotives under repairs
and by increasing the mileage, it may
be possible to keep in the service 49,
625 more locomotives, an increase of
over rs per cent.
There are many ways whereby the
railroads can do more work with the
existing facilities. The motive power
must be conserved; close attention
must be paid repairs, the efficiency
of cars must be increased by quick
Ter terminal handling and prompter
loading and unloading; by better
loading and more tons per car. One
Iof the greatest opportunities to in
crease the car efficiency lies in better
control of the unusual traffic move
ment thru placing embargoes
promptly so as to avoid congestion
and delay. The Importance of keep
ing yards and terminals clear Of &C
foundations which cannot be handled
lexpeditiously, cannot be overestimat-
led.
To bring about this all-important
result has been put up to every man
in railroad service as his supreme
patriotic duty.

RED CROSS WORKING
LARGE MEMBERSHIP
Imposing Decoration Day Program
Being Arranged; Women of
County Offer to Join

At their meeting Tuesday after
noon the ladies of the Blackfoot Red
Cross association laid plans to carry
their membership into many homes
in each precinct Of town, and even
into branch associations thru the
county. Thirty women of Springfield
sent up word that they wanted to
join in the Red Cross work. There
are 140 members at present.
One lady was appointed from each
ward to act together as a member
ship committee: Mrs. Thorsten, first
ward; Mrs. Hamilton Wright, second
ward; Mrs. Neil Boyle, third; and
Mrs. Varley, fourth. Mrs. Duckworth
was chosen to represent the outlying
precincts.
A sewing committee was organized
with Mrs. Mitchell as chairman, and
with the purpose in view to make
dozens of useful, handy things for
the soldier boys in the camps.
1t is probable the ladies will give
a military Red Cross ball in honor
of the departing young men Of the
army.
The Red Cross ladies will have
charge of the Decoration day pro-
gram. They are to meet at the
Standrod bank corner and motor or
march together to the cemetery.

PROPOSE SELLING
THE BLACKFOOT
FAIR GROUNDS

At recent business meeting of
the board of directors of the
Southeastern Idaho Fair association,
Monday afternoon, it was proposed
by President James Duckworth that
the fair grounds be sold and the
holding corporation dissolved. The
board approved and set the date July
9 upon which all stockholders will
be called together to vote on the
question.
In the mean time bids will be ad-
vertised for in the hope of securing
positive selling price to lay before
the holders of interest in the
grounds.
The board is the same as it was
last year, with the exception of F.
e. DeKay, in whose absence L. M.
Capps was made a member.
City Ball Grounds
With an eye for the necessity of
play ground for the young people
of Blackfoot where base ball games
may be played, James Duckworth
suggests that the city buy five acres
of the fair grounds directly north
of the present city park, which is of
the council Tuesday evening that
something must be done to provide
for athletic games. 1t would be pos
sible on the other hand to secure 10
acres of the fair grounds along Main
street for the city park and ball
grounds.

JOFFRE PLEASED WITH
WEST POINT PARADE

Having witnessed one Of those
matchless dress reviews at West
Point recently, Marshall Joffre said:
II have been happy for the first
time since the war commenced"
He told the West Pointers that it
was the most military review he had
ever witnessed. He appeared in his
uniform of blue coat and bright red
trousers. His chief Of staff, Col.
Jean Fabray, the blue Devil of
France" made a lasting impression
on the cadets,
Speaking of the visits of foreign
ENJOYS who have recently visited the
academy, one of the undergraduates
writes that none but the French were
cheerful. Other emissaries dwelt up
on the sorrow and horror OF war,
while the French showed their fine
spirit Of optimism and faith, and this
in spite of the fact that France has
borne the severest load of sacrifice
in the struggle.
General Bridges, of the British
army, impressed the cadet as one
of the most "virile clean specimens
of manhood" that he had ever seen.

BOOST FROM WOODVILLE

w. E. Speas, of Woodville, recent
ly said something of The Idaho Re-
publican that is seldom said of a
newspaper; something that is not
likely to be said by any paper with
out being vigorously disputed for
reasons that the public will study
carefully when the disputant speaks
up. Here is what Mr.. Speas said in
substance:
when I first took the paper I
paid for it for certain period and
requested that it be discontinued
when the order was filled. My wishes
were carried out without any annoy
ance to me. I like that way of do
ing. Then I noticed that the paper
was fair and fearless in politics and
does not shield its friends and hu-
initiate it's opponents for the same
thing. This is what l call honesty
in newspaper service"

GEM STATE BUILDING
FINE NEW LAUNDRY

The Gem State Laundry company,
Walker Davis and George Sandholtz
proprietors, will soon have completed
a new, large laundry building, on the
corner of Taylor and Alice streets,
one of the two finest of its kind in
Idaho. The construction is in the
hands of Dahle & Eccles, with G. A.
Bauer in charge. Mr.. Bauer said
last week that the building can be
quickly finished so soon as some
heavy joists are secured, The
timber comes from the Pacific coast,
where everything is being turned
over for ship building, but the order
is expected to- be filled this month.
The building will be so feet wide
and 1875 feet long, allowing just
twice the floor space now being used
by the company on South Taylor. 1t
will have two story front on Taylor
street, the upstairs comprising a
four-room living apartment with
sleeping porch, bath and all conven-
fences The cost Is to be in the
neighborhood of $4,000.
Offices will occupy the front on
the ground floor, and the dry clean
ing plant will have the back part.
The remainder of the space will be
open, we'll ventilated by windows
along the sides and big sky-light.
Placing Of the machinery has been
carefully planned to save steps and
make for convenience. Delivery cars
will be brought into the building
from the rear.
Extensive improvements in the
way of machinery will be made. A
new permuttit water softener is to
be installed. This device is used by
|all big laundries to save soap and
prevent harm to clothes. It's cost
will be about $4,5O0. A new $4,000
flat work ironer is another improve
ment. Besides these there will be
la new centrifugal extractor, two
washers, universal press, a gas
clarifier for dry cleaning, vapor
dampener and negligee starcher.
The dry cleaning department will
be brought up to high efficiency. 1t
will have floor space of 20x4O feet
and be so enclosed as TO be absolute
ly fire proof. The gasoline will come
from underground reservoirs, and no
wood work will be used at all in the
room. The company is going to
make a speciality Of cleaning rugs
and carpets, and have arranged for
an expert in that line to handle the
business. They have modern dust
wheel for the department, which
eliminates all dust particles from
rugs and carpets.
The business Of the Gem State has
increased remarkably during the past
year, and the proprietors are estab-
fishing a chain of laundrles in east
ern Idaho. Mr.. Davis has charge OF
the local laundry, and Mr.. Sandholt2
manages the Pocatello laundry
Twelve girls are now employed here
and the number may be increased
when business is begun in the new
place. Ed, Rohker is engineer, hav,
ing charge of the boilers, washers
and other machinery. Mrs. Ed
Rohker is forelady in charge of the
girls. Miss Sandholtz is bookkeeper
The building up of this successful
business in so short time is a proof
of what opportunities our community
has to offer.
