DER INSTRUCTIONS OF THE

On account of so many ladies

which will be Thursday, August 8,
and on Saturday the babies from the
country will be examined at the Red
Cross rooms.
Mrs. H. s. Vance wishes to know
the names of the ladies living in
the country who have no way to
bring their babies in town for this
examination, and the Bee Hive girls
under her supervision will find a
proper way to convey the children to
the Red Cross rooms If Mrs. Vance
is notified. l
Mrs. A. B. Stephens has this work
under her supervision and states
there were 103 babies examined Sat-
urday, which were found in every re-
spect to be almost perfect in body,
but due to the intense heat, some of
the youngsters are slightly under
weight. No diseases of any kind
were found and the babies made a
splendid showing.

CARNIVAL WAS BETTER

The Superba Amusement company
played at Blackfoot last week for the
third time, and with an ever-increas.
ing business to the last. On Satur-
day evening people stood in line to
get to spend their money, and some
went away still holding it because
they failed to get their turns. The
show is owned and operated by Nina
Rogers, and she has ideas Of her
own about what kind Of q show peo-
pie want to see, and what character
OF people to have with it. They

tion. We enjoyed the tinkle of their
music, and they are invited to come
again.

AMERICANS SURROUND FEMES WHERE PRUS-
Sian GUARDS BATTLE TO THEIR DEATH
German Forces South of Vesle River Crushed;
Crack Troops Driven into Fismes, where They
Fight Hopeless Battle in the Streets; Both
Flanks of the enemy Turned.

PARIS, august 4.-Allied troops
have crossed the Aisne at several
points between scissors and Venizel
The German resistance Is faltering on
the left wing of the allied advance,
while it is growing stubborn and
desperate on the right wing, where
the Germans still retain a foothold on
the southern bank of the Vesle, be-
tween Champigny and Jonchery,
northwest of 4.heims.
The number of prisoners captured
by the allies during the last two days
will thrill the allied world when an
nounced. The Vesle river, which
was flooded owing to the recent
heavy rains, has hampered the Ger
man rear guards, who we're unable
to ford the stream and had to fight
for their lives. lhe most of these
Germans were killed and the rest
were made prisoners.
Fismes is completely surrounded
by American troops. The Germans
are retaining foothold in the ex-
treme northern part of the town,
where there is house-tO-house fight
ing. Crack Prussian guard units are
offering the most desperate resist
ance to the Americans.
Foes Flank Turned Again
Paris, Auugst 4.-Both flanks of
the German forces between Rheims
and Scissors appear to have been
turned The French have forced
crossing Of the Vesle west of Rheims.
Germans reinforcements are re-
ported arriving in the SCISSORS Sec
tor from the north. The allies con-
tinue their advance, according to
latest reports, altho it is held within
prudent limits. The allied left wing
has moved faster than the right and
further progress in the scissors re-
gion might expose it to counter
attack from the enemy.
Allied forces in pursuit of the Ger
mans have passed thru vertiable
charnel-houses. Bodies of Germans
found in clusters beyond the range
of the allied artillery indicate that
severe punishment was inflicted upon
the fleeing columns by the aviators.

REPUBLICANS
HOLD MEETING
OF Committeeman AND
THEIR FRIENDS RESOLVED,
RECONSIDERED, RESCINDED
AND ADJOURNED.

On riday night, August 2, 1918
a mass meeting of Republicans, held
a meeting in the District Court room
at Blackfoot, Idaho. There were
about $50 Republicans present. The
meeting was called to order by
county Chairman ]. H. Anderson
and turned over to those present
On motion Judge Andersen was Sc
lected chairman of the meeting and
F. M. Fisher secretary.
Several speeches were made of a
general and patriotic nature prior
to the transaction of the business of
the meeting. h. w. Adair. prosecut-
ing attorney, stated that he contem-
plated filing his nomination paper
for another term provided he had the
unqualified endorsement of the party.
That if any members of the party
objected to him, or there was any
other aspirant he was willing to with
draw his candidacy. Thereupon by
vote of the meeting Mr.. Adair was
endorsed for re-elec-
tion.
Many speeches were made endors-
ing the work of F. M. Fisher, auditor
and while Mr.. Fisher had an oppon-
ent in the person of Royal Jeppson,
the meeting almost unanimously
the candidacy of Mr..
Fisher.
The meeting then proceeded to en-
dorse Mrs. Grace Faulconer for
superintendent of instruction, James
for commissioner of the
first district, E. Milton Christensen
for surveyor, J. E. Good for probate
judge and E. /. Peck for coroner.
On the legislative ticket Peter q.
Johnston and A. J. Snyder were en-
dOrsed for the nominations as rep
d
The names of william A Lee and
L. r. Thomas were proposed for
state senator, and after Mr.. Lee had
his name, Mr.. Thomas
was endorsed.
The meeting voted to endorse A.
Fl. Simmons for sheriff.
When it came to the endorsement
Of a candidate for the third commits
sioner district it appeared that M. A.
Fugate and Marion Ginger, from
and Lewis Robbins from
Moreland were proposed. A discus
sion arose over the propriety of en-
dorsing candidate when there were
more than one person aspiring for
the nomination t6 the same office.
After considerable debate, the meet
ing resolved not to endorse any can
didate where there was a contest,
and the endorsements Of F. M.
Fisher, A. H. Simmons and candi-
1ates for commissioner of the third
district were laid upon the table.
There were no recommendation
'or the nomination of county treas
lrer, but the Shelley precinct were
requested to suggest some candidate
rom that vicinity and to file his or
ler nomination papers.
There was no action taken with
reference to the office Of assessor.
The meeting adjourned about mid
hight, after having resolved, recon-
'idered and rescinded until they quit
ust about where they began. The
principal cause of contention was the |
act that they were acting as the Re-
party and committing the |
'arty without first having called the |
'arty together. They had merely !
allied men in hap-hazard way on
hort notice, and the main body of |
republicans knew nothing about the
Meeting.
