GOVERNMENT ASKS THAT
SCRAP IRON BE CONSERVED

M. Volpert, who buys and sells
scrap iron, junk and other seemingly
worthless things here in Blackfoot,
advises US that according to a cir
cular issued by the American Steel
& Iron association, the government
is urging the conservation of all
scrap iron, and that those who have
such material about their places will
aid materially in the winning of the
war by selling it as soon as it can
be collected.
Scrap iron is high in price at the
present, and the government has
fixed the prices on it to assure the
public that they are being fairly dealt
with by the middleman. Few homes.
especially farms, but have consider
able of this material about their
places.

CARNIVAL COMPANY HERE

The Superba Amusement company
has arrived in town and pitched Their
tents. The people of Blackfoot and
vicinity will find that this show will
be conducted along lines that are
exceptional.
Mrs. Rogers, manageress, realized
many years ago that the only way
travelling parks could survive was to
keep their company consistently
clean.
There are many side shows, q
large ferris wheel, also merry-go-
round. -,
The Superba company have not
raised their prices, and the shows
also rides are the same prices they
were in former years. Yes, the
merry-go-rOund Is still five cents a
ride.
Among the many attractions is
Big Jim, the monster boa constructor,
the largest snake in America,
twenty-seven feet five inches in
length and weighs 259 pounds.
Funny monkey circus, you'll laugh.
Then there is Spidora, with the head
Of beautiful lady on the body of
a large spider. Mike, the monkey
man, and his little son seven weeks
old. Also Aneta, that strange girl
from the lowlands of Arizona, hand
ling poisonous reptiles like you
would child. Jack-a-Lee, the
three-faced man, the newest and most
popular among the concessions, Is
killing the kaiser. BY skillfully
throwing a ball you knock the kaiser
on the face of the earth, for which
you receive good cigar. It's worth
more.
Much more could be said about
the cow-girls' cabaret, reproduction
OF the early days. With the Abbot
brothers jazz band to give it just q
little pep, and the numerous stands
but space will not permit. So we
look forward to five big days of fun
during which all roads lead to the
carnival ground in Blackfoot, the
biggest little city in Idaho.

ON THE MARINE FRONT. July %
Allied patrols have reached the
southern bank Of the River Ourccq
This morning was extremely quiet
along the center of the salient where
the Germans were not offering great
opposition.
On both wings activity prevails.
The enemy has massed heavy guns
to the north Of scissors, on the
heights around Juvigny and Cha

enfilating fire the western wing as
far south as Oulehy-le- Chateau.
Notwithstanding this bombardnfent

region are making some progress,
altho they are faced by the Germans

fire Of machine guns.
On the eastern wing the allies
gradually are obtaining command Of
the whole road leading from Dor
mans to Rheims. On this side the
Germans have assembled artillery in
the neighbOrhood Of st. Thierry,
northwest of Rheims. These guns
cover the German left flank, and
consequently make the progress
slower for the allies.
The retreat of the crown princes
forces along the whole Marine front
has. reached a more precipitate
phase. At some places the Germans
have fallen back for distance OF
several miles. French and Ameri-
can troops are harrying the retiring
forces in the center, while French
and British troops are hammering
at both TANKS. t,.
Cavalry and tanks in considerable
numbers have succeeded. in getting
In among the retiring Germans,
while airplanes are bombarding their
columns.
The incessant smashing blows left
the enemy nothing to do but to re-
treat or die. Even their sudden re-
tirement has not relieved the con-
stant harrying.

cavalry and the pounding of the
tanks, the lives of the German rear

other. After they came to a mutual
understanding they buried the of.
fetal hatchet, SO to speak, and
dropped the incident.
McMullen's duties on Saturday aft
ernoons is to stand at the crossing
and try to precent accidents. Part
of his duty is to get pedestrians to go
squarely across the streets rather
than to- cut across at an angle. He
had offended number of persons
by being severe with them when they
did not know what he was there
for. He seemed to assume that
everybody that cut across the wrong
way was doing it in willful disobedi-
ence and he ordered them around
accordingly. This attitude on his
part had embarrassed the council
somewhat, and there was an UNDER
standing that a more discreet and
more courteous man should be placed
on duty.
Judge Cowen did not know any
thing about the regulations, and was
going for his mail. He had just got
ten out Of the hospital, and was quite
weak. When partly across the angle
McMullen ordered him to go back
and go around, and he said, What's
the matter with going this way?"
McMullen raped him across the
knuckles and yanked him up the
street by the coat. The Judge OBJ
jected to being handled by force,
said that he was the district Judge,
and did not appreciate being as
saulted If he had walked in the
wrong place without knowing it. |

and the judge demanded that he let

was released pending the filing of

lights and persons of citizens and

DEALERS DISCUSS
REGULATIONS FOR
CLOSING HOURS
Rules are Adopted and
Sugar Ration is Cut
From Three to Two
Pounds Per Month.

At meeting of the Bingham
county merchants at Blackfoot on
Friday afternoon with Food Admins
traitor George f. GagOn ON matters
of cash and carry and the time Tor
opening and closing, some matters
were agreed upon and the food ad-
ministration will enforce the agree
ments.
The food administration requires
dealers to enforce such measures as
will save fuel and lights, and man
power, and will also require strict
observance of the rules laid down
for economizing sugar and -four. The
market success already attained in
feeding the hungry in Europe besides
supplying our soldiers the best food
enjoyed by any army in the world
and making them the most effective
soldiers in the world, coupled with
the prospect for greater shortage
ahead, makes the food administr8-
tions an important factor in winning
the war. The plan 10 to feed every
one enough, but to make Il q matter
of honor for every person to get
along on as little as possible. While
Germany Is using the power OF
famine to destroy as many millions
Of unoffending people as possible,
America and her allies address them
selves to the stupendous task of feed
Ing and saving as many millions as
they can while using military power
