KENNEDY TELLS
OF EXPERIENCE

E. M. Kennedy has been combating
many problems lately that had to be
taken up by somebody personally and
officially in Washington, D. c., re-
lating to cars for moving wheat, po-
tatoes and stock and investigations
regarding soldiers in France, and Mr..
Kennedy says that of all the public
men he has appealed to for service,
Addison T. Smith is the best.
"Mr. Smith not only gets quick ac-
tion, but he always acts, and he
knows where to apply and thru what
channels to work to get Just what is
needed" said Mr.. Kennedy. "If
many other men thruout the state
have been applying to him as often
as have during the past year or two,
and especially as these war complica-
tions thicken up, wonder that he
can handle them all. He must be
a man of wonderful ability and he
must have a good system and COM
plete knowledge of the departments
and their workings"
We wonder how much Mr.. Jeppson
of Lost river would accomplish : IL
our Non-partisan friends succeed in
recalling Smith and electing Jeppson.

The following boys comprised the
Bingham county quota: Albert Fay,

ANOTHER HERO
GIVES HIS LIFE
John A. Anderson Died
From Wounds Re-
ceived in Battle

The hearts of many BlackfOOt peO-
pie were saddened this week when
a message was received Tuesday
afternoon by Mrs. Charlotte Ander-
son, telling of the death of her only
living son, John A., known to scores
of friends as Bert.
Bert enlisted in June 1917 and
was stationed with. his company of
marines at Mare Island, Cal, and
later sent to France, where he had
been comparatively short time.
He had seen service at the front and
a wound received in action Gully 21
or 22). caused his death July rs.
Bert was one of Blackfoot's native
sons having been born and raised
here. His education was received in
the Blackfoot schools with the excep-
tiOn of one year spent at the Univer-
Sity Of Utah. He was always re-
garded by his classmates as true
friend, a congenial and substantial
companion and it was typical OF
Bert to show tender thoughtfulness
for others at all times.
After completing his education he
accepted position with the Rowles-
Mack company of this city, which
place he filled with dignity and skill
and it was his courteous manner,
which was always foremost, that en-
deared him to the hearts of his pa
irons.
No arrangements have been made
for memorial services as yet.

The clocks will be turned back an
hour Sunday night or Monday morn
ing, having been set ahead an hour
on the daylight saving plan last
spring. This section Of the country
was not effected so greatly by this
change as were the eastern states.
The change was made more for the
congested districts and manufactur-
ing centers.
During the summer months 136
million tons Of coal have been saved.
This conservation Of this amount of
coal has been an aid to the United
States and the allies, as It was used
for ships and other war industries.
When the clocks are turned back,
it will make no difference In the ar
rival or departure of trains. All Of
the trains will be set back an hour,
and will run on the same schedule.
II q train arrived at 2.45 now, It will
arrive at the same time when the
clocks are set back.

Mitchell Palmer, alien property
custodian, has confiscated sufficient
alien property to invest $50, ,000, 900
raised from 1t in liberty bonds. He
says it's poor day when he can't
subscribe for $1,000,000 worth OF the
securities. In a recent address he
said:

in a western city, school-teacher,
who was German-born woman died,

which were wont to send their pro-
fits out Of America back to Germany,

treasury Of the United States and
their products into war munitions to
destroy their owners"

Bert Anderson gave up his
young life in the darkest hour
of the war. The hour that
historians will mention as the
crisis, the turning point in the
great, fierce struggle, the peak
of the. mountain Of the worlds
effort.
He fell In the hour when the
booming of cannon was sound
ing the first death-knell of the
waning powers Of the worlds
worst war lords. The first
faint streak of dawn was show
ing for the rising star of world
wide liberty, but men did not
know it. His requiem carried
with it the dirge of a waning
opposition, but men in the
fierce struggle could not catch
its meaning. The supreme
sacrifice is most heroic when
ones mortal eyes see not the
coming of the dawn, the prom
ise of success.
