FALLING MARKET
 HEAVY AT CLOSE
Dealings Sta6nant When Traders
 Shut Up Shop for Week

Wall Street-Stocks opened today at slight recessions strengthened ir- regularly on a spirited rise in Utah copper, Atlantic Gulf and West Ln- dies and a few other issues of less prominence but soon fell back on concerted professional selling. De- clines ran from 1 to points, rails relatively losing more ground than in- dustrials. Motors and oils also man. ifested heaviness with a genera, run of steel stocks. U. s. Steel fell over a point from it's early high, Utah for feited the greater part of its 5-s points gain and Atlantic Gulf West In- dies lost all it's rise.
 Dealings became stagnant on the decline, the market closing with a heavy tone. Sales approximated 275,- 900 shares. Bonds were lower.

 No settled tendencies can be dis covered in the stock market. for or dinary judgment is completely at sea when balancing such huge uncertain ties.

Our great good fortune in having a banking system equal to the unexpected emer- gencies thrust upon it not yet ap- preciated as it should be. Without the Federal Reserve system we should have long ago been on the edge of distrust, and it is doubtful if we could have taken our part financially with the Allies as successfully as we have done had that system not been in working operation. The high prices of commodities is a matter that re- ouires serious consideration, especially as the cost of many of the necessaries of life has risen to a level that is sure to provoke much unrest, the recog- milton of which is seen in the efforts of the government to control the food situation.

ONE OF OUR FOLLIES.

Killing something like 5000, 900
calves a year Is one Of them. The
most of these are under three weeks
old. Hundreds of thousands of them
are under one week old. We have
contended against this wretched traf-
fic for years ON the ground of the
sufferings endured by these helpless
little creatures in transit and at the
slaughter houses. It looks at last
as though, on the ground of econo-
my, to conserve the meat supply of
the country the nation would some
day have sense enough to stop the
shameful waste. A bill has been in
troduced into congress to prohibit
the slaughter of any calf under two
years of age. The New York Herald
says, editorially:
Residents of cities who complain
of the high prices of meats, a condi-
ton that has existed since long be-
fore the war, are not guiltless in the
matter. They insist on demanding
veal from their butchers and in order
to supply this demand for a succu-
lent, young meat, millions Of CALVES,
weighing from 100 to $50 pounds
each, must be slaughtered. II these
animals were permitted to live two
years instead of a month or six
weeks, they would weigh from 1000
to 1900 pounds and the shortage in
the national meat supply would be
less acute. The conservation of
young livestock, which means the in
crease in the country's meat sup
ply and in the enrichment of the soil
that is called on to produce the grain
and vegetable supplies, is an econom-
ic necessity that shrieks it's import
ance every time the price of meat
rises a fraction of cent.-Our

ANOTHER GERMAN TRICK OURS
Optical Glass Is Now Made i'm the
United States.

The bureau of standards of the
department of commerce, after two
and a half years of continuous study
and experiment in the making of OPP
tical glass, has achieved satisfactory
results, and is prepared to produce
optical glass. Additions are now be-
ing made to the working plant to
permit larger production to supply
the needs of the government.
The matter is one of essential i'm
portance to the military services of
the nation. Heretofore this materi-
al, of the best grade, has been Who'll
ly made in Germany, but the United
States is henceforth independent of
any foreign supply for this import
ant product.
Optical glass is used in making
lenses for field glasses, range find
ers, periscopes, telescopes, surveying
apparatus, chemical laboratory
equipment and many other necessary
articles.-Dun's Review.

MADE IN
AMERICA,

The Chautauqua big-tent enter
tainments are home product of the
United States commonwealth. Coun-
try communities whose pioneering
toilers are hungry for high-class mu-
sic and lecturing have made the
Chautauqua systems an unmeasured
success. In single week once a
year the forward looking people of a
thousand rural communities such as
Blackfoot and vicinity reap more
profit and pleasure in the way of
platform entertainment than city
folk accumulate in whole year of
opportunity.
And our part of Idaho is especial
~ known among Chautauqua men as
liberal of attendance and strong on
appreciation. G. s. Churchman, ad-
vance man for the Ellison White sys-
tenn this year, said Monday when he
was here that southern and eastern
Idaho are the best chautauqua Sec
tions in the whole western routing
of the system.
City people have more of their
thinking done for them than they
know or others believe. They have
the daily papers and the editorial
headlines. They hear the street car
talk. They have many diverting So
cial functions. Their thinking time
is indeed short. They think in large
bodies.
Country people, and even those in
smaller towns and cities, are more
alone with themselves and their
work. News of the nations doings
is an important part of their exist
ence. They get the daily papers from
cities somewhat late, but they read
more of the contents. They are less
social, live farther apart Individual
ly and need more of mental inde-
pendence than the ordinary city in
habitant.
At least these conclusions would
naturally follows consideration Of
chautauqua results. The chautauqua
carries large lessons in its several
ways, but city people do not patron
ize it. Neither do they attend 9TH
er lectures largely, except when the
speaker is a celebrity.
The chautauqua is a result of the
longing of great masses of outlying
citizen bodies for genteel, uplifting
amusement.
Blackfoot has been a better town
since it took up the chautauqua last
summer.
