A NEW HOUSE HEATER

The Oregon Short Line has in
stalled a new kind of heater at the
freight depot. 1t Is known as the
peerless and is manufactured by the
Monitor Heating company Of Cincin-
natl, Ohio. 1t Is a hot air heater
without pipes. 1t is simply furnace
with the usual airspaces about It and
the register is directly over it in the
floor and the heat rises thru the
center panel Of the register while the
cold air descends around the outer
part Of the same register. >s-,-
At first thought one would sup
pose that this would only heat that
part Of the house nearest to it, but
there are several rooms in the
freight depot and by leaving the par
tition doors open the heat moves to
the extremcties of the building max
ing it warm and comfortable every
where.
Mr.. Young says they have been
using it for about a, month and it
does not seem tofrequire more than
half the amount of coal that an or
binary heating plant takes. The
first cost is very much less than that
of an ordinary heating plant be-
cause there are no pipees in connec-
tion and only one register. The work
of installing it is very small; one
man having installed this one in half
a day. The cost was less than half
as much as the ordinary hot air heat
ing plant

HEBER RICH WOULD .-
IS :. PLANE THE ROADS

a Heber C. G. Rich was in from
Pingree Thursday and said he had a
great time coming to town over the
ten million knots to the mile. The
road was muddy on Monday, and the
face Of the earth froze up rough, so
that the roads tear the tires and
tubes off of the cars and shake the
filings out of a persons teeth. WA
,Heber recommended that the roads
be plahed with road drag in the
afternoon when it is thawed little,
and said the whole thing would
freeze hard and smooth like ma
cadam at night. He was full Of re-
grets that we did not seize the OPP
portunity to install miles and miles
of macadam by this means while the
installing was good. It Is true, he
said, the macadam made in that way
might not last long, but 1t would be
such fine thing while it did last,
and it would be a good demonstra-
tion of what we shall have when the
the Goshen cement gravel roads are
in operation for keeps.

FIRST TO RETURN
FROM OVERSEAS
Fred Kennedy Home.
Served as Red Cross
Stenographer in France

Fred Kennedy, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
w. P. Kennedy of Gooding, Idaho. Is
the first one of our Blackfoot boys
to return from France. His father,
w. P. Kennedy Is county assessor
and has won prominence in that Sec
ton Of the state.
Last September, Fred having the
great desire to serve his country, en-
listd as stenographer in the Red
Cross service. He could not enter
the army, but by working IN that
branch of the service he was able
to release some able-bodied man who
could 60 to the front.
Fred Is very popular among the
younger set of Blackfoot and by his
pleasant smile and cleverness has
made host Of friends who are glad
to have him among them again. He
came to Blackfoot a few years ago.
and up to the time Of his enlistment
he was employed at the Standrod
bank. &
He left Blackfoot September IL,
for New York, and sailed for France
October /. They landed in Liverpool
and from there he went to London,
and South Hampton across the Eng
lisn channel to Harve, and then to
Paris. He spent a few days sight
seeing in Paris. and it was while
there that he met Luther King. Mr..
King was former resident Of
Blackfoot and was an employee at
the U. s. land office. He enlisted in
the First Idaho medical corps at the
outbreak of the war, and has been
in France nearly year.
Mr.. Kennedy was assigned to
Tours to take up his work with the
Red Cross and was there at the time
the armistice was signed. 1t was
here he met Tom Bumgarner, an
other Blackfoot boy. He inquired
about Earnest Scannell. but found
that he was at the front in the bat
tie of Argonne Forest.
During his stay overe there he
visited many places of interest, such
as the Effiel tower, and the famous
Notre Dame at Paris. He was at the
cathedral at Tours and saw Napol-
cons tomb. While in Paris he heard
Margaret Wilson, daughter of Presi-
dent Wilson, in one of her concerts.
Miss Wilson Is a very fine entertainer,
and diligent Y. NJ, c. A. worker.
On his way over Fred was taken
seriously, i'll with the influenza, and
was under the care of doctor and
nurse. Upon landing he had a re-
lapse and his recovery was doubtful.
After the armistice was signed he
had the privilege Of going to a re-
sort at Neice, Italy to recuperate, but
perferred coming home. He came
home on the French liner Chicago,
in New York Monday, Dec.
8. While at sea Sunday, Dec. 5 they

cherries in abundance. He salso
raises some live stock on his little
farm. He marketed forty-seven hogs
last week, ranging in weight from

Mr.. Mccoy was in Omaha recently

less than $1.56 per bushel and the
freight rate to Blackfoot from Co
lumbus, Nebr., where he tried to buy,
was 92c SO he gave up getting corn
and purchased what frosted wheat
he could to feed the hogs. He says
that he does not consider that a man
can make a cent feeding hogs on

Observation-Disclosures

The work is so piled up in the
work rooms on Bridge street that
those in charge are quite at sea to
know what to do about 1t. No one
wishes any who have fears of flu
contagion, or who are really unable
to attend to the duties, to do even a
part Of the work, but there are those
who are in a position to respond to
this appeal.
The rooms were opened Monday,
Dec. 16 and will continue SO until
further notice. Women of the town
are urged to consider the necessity
and determine what part they are
situated to perform, that a partial
clearance of work may take place.
Units thruout the country are
asked to send in for as much work
as they can take care of. The
smaller, neighborly gatherings, have
accomplished big share Of the work
that has kept Bingham in the fore
most ranks as workers. We could
not have gotten along without them
In the past, neither can we do 90
now with this big problem of unf'r-
ished work. Please come to our
rescue lest we fall by the wayside.
It is mistaken idea to'entertain
q notion that our duties are fulfilled
because the war is over with Ger
many. There is a casualty list still
daily reported for no one can deter
mine within the hour what the de-
stiny of those engaged In long bat
tie line Of fierce fighting might be.
The hospitals will be needed for an
indefinite period. And please do
not forget we have soldiers in Rus
sfa that many of US are anxious
about because of almost total lack
of news. Also we cannot be re-
leased from relief work this winter.
With reconstruction of homes and
restoration to partially normal condi-
tions those women will be able to
perform home duties, including sew
ing that at present is impossible.
The bitterness Of winter is upon
them and all the energies of both
men and women are taxed to their
uttermost to construct place of
shelter and arrange for employment
and farming or at least gardening
in the spring. E .t

such helpless, hopeless task to at
tempt restoration, but those people
possessed with vision and courage.
They were helped until the necessity
was overcome by their pluck and
heroism, and that is just what
France will do. ! wish had time to
tell you how rapidly she recovered
from the war of 1870, when she was
not only destroyed, but beaten to
the earth by Germany to the extent
of sending train load Of gold to
pay indemnity to the victor. b..
read the other day that when
Bismarck was asked for food that the
babies might not die, laughed
sneeringly and replied, Babies, why
I thought you had eaten them ALL"
Yes, we must see the brave en-
pire Of France thru until she is in
q position to sustain herself, and that
will be soon.
Shall we take some sewing home
with US the next time we 60 to town?

PRICE OF WHEAT
FOR COMING YEAR

There has been considerable de-
batting about the price Of wheat and
the time that the government in
tended to fix the price to lapse. 1t
seems to be settled now that the gov
ernment price will hold good until
the first of June, 1920. The reports
speak of it as II it were a privilege
to market all that is offered on the
There has been considerable diff
flculty this year in finding people to
take the wheat and pay for it at fixed
prices. Some Of the elevator men
have refused to take 1t and prefer to
let their elevators stand empty. The
government does not compel them
to handle wheat and they claim that
it Is not profitable to handle 1t on
the margin fixed by the government.

. DANGEROUS ~F A.
b CROSSING BEING
RENDERED SAFE
Electric Warning Bell Being In
stalled at Rich Lane Crossing;
= Will Soon be In Operation.

The Oregon Short Line is install
ing an electric warning bell at the
crossing of the tracks at what VI Is
known as the Rich lane half q mile
above Blackfoot This was promised
good whlle ago, but the fulfillment
was slow on account Of the difficulty
of getting materials, and men to in
stall them.
The wraning bell Is erected on a
post. at the crossing and there is
quite q system connected with it.
AT the base OF the post is a. chamber
for storing eleven, pars. containing
zine and caustic soda to gel Ute the
electric current. A bell ID Estalled
,on the top of the post and a large
red disc with red electric light in
the center is suspended from the top
,of the post in such a position that
when the bell rings the disc or wig
wag swings back and forth like a
pendelum to attract the attention Of
travellers. White letters on the wig
wag, says "stop."
The train coming supplies the
shock that sets the bell to ringing.
Electric wires extend from the post
to the rails, and wire connections
are made from one rail to another at
all the joints for 1000 feet in both
directions. One rail carries the pos
tive current and the other rail car
.ries carries the negative current.
+ When a train comes from the
north, when the trucks or cars press
on the rails that are connected by
the wires mentioned, that forms a
cantact or circuit with the two rails.
The current flows thru the car from
one rail to the other by the shortest
cut. AS soon as this contact is made
the warning bell begins to ring and
continues to ring until the circuit
or contact is broken. The circuit is
broken when the engine passes the
post at the crossing. A trail COM
ing from the other direction operates
in the same way, and the bell quits
ringing when it passes the post.
T. The mechanical device that breaks
the circuit consists of a non-conduc-
tor pressed between the rails at the
post, and the current that has
passed thru the engine or car is
broken at that point.
! The warning bell is just about
completed and was installed by F.
g. Paine assisted by William Dawley
both of Pocatello.
