LOOKING
AHEAD

There was a time when dirt roads
seemed good enough-but along
came the automobile, and most OF
the old roads had to be remade.
R. E. Evans, who was a sergeant
in the aviation service at West Point
field in Mississippi, made tour OF
the west this summer and happened
into Blackfoot last week at the time
the fair grounds were declared on
sale. He called attention to this new
necessity and to Cities that are al
ready setting aside areas of free
land looking to the day when they
can bid for air travel stations, much
as they are now attracting tourist
travel by means of free camping
grounds. t.%
1.-THE time will soon be here"
said Mr.. Evans, when the city that
has a landing place for airships will
be designated as station. Surveys
are now being made in all parts of
the country to locate favorable points
for landing. Until that time the
land might be used for raising hay.
Some cities are doing that" -F. Css

Recent events have shown that the
people of this county want some form
of amusement at the turn of the
season, and will leave home and
leave off their work and business fol
few days to enjoy it.
These are important times on &C.
count of the changes that are taking
place. We have banished booze and
most of the things that went with it,
and it is an inexorable law that
when one form of diversion is taken
away from children or people, some
thing else must be substituted or
they will take up anything that
comes to hand. The old-time shows
are vanishing and the movies are
taking their place. People go to
church less and drive more in the
automobiles. Moving pictures are
making inroads into education,
chautauqua and religious service,
and what is good enough to make
use Of in such work IL by many CON
sidered good enough to attend on
Sunday afternoon and evening, and
that brings forward the question of
why illustrations should be used in
certain buildings of the town that
are above reproach and not allawed
in the theater, where an admission
is charged as against the other place
where pews are paid for during the
week or donations made by passing
the plate.
These are all fair questions for
thoughtful people to consider, and
whether we will or not, they will
force themselves upon our genera
ton for decision. The sports of the
roundup have been much objected
to, but these DIRECTORS have not sup
piled the something better. We had
a fair and it died of itself, killed
mostly by corrupt horse races and
complimentary tickets. There was
dishonesty in both, and many people
who were criticising the trickery Of
the races were equally dishonest in
their use Of free admission tickets to
save paying a measley four-bits at
the gate. Ten years ago half the

liquors, and the other half were
afraid we could not run the schools
without the license money. The
country is getting more dry" each
year and the jails are so empty they
are almost forgotten. Courts are
generally adjourned and the schools
are fourishing. At the last roundup
and festival only one arrest was
made for drunkenness and with all
the packed crowds and streams of
cars everywhere, nobody was hurt,
and nobody was disorderly. Carni-
val companies have come and gone
and no arrests were necessary in the
whole week. They bring some
money to town, take more out, and
leave the public refreshed and
amused. The chautauqua does the
same thing the roundup and festival

home and will If continued become q

Governor Davis has appointed
Wednesday the seventeenth day Of
September constitution day, and
recommends the reading and study Of
the constitution Of the United States
by every gathering and every in

He points out that the adoption
Of the constitution quieted the I'M
rest and anarchy following the war
Of the revolution, and that the study
and observance Of its principles will
give renewed poise and balance to the
unsettled conditions and ideas Of
today.
Wednesday is the 130th anniver-

YANK JAZZ SETS
ROTTERDAM CRAZY
Dutch Town Responds
Excitedly to Ameri-
can Novelties
POLICE INFECTED

Rotterdam is cabaret, "jazz" and
rag" crazy--and the American SOL
Ndiers working at the new American
base port at Rotterdam are rejoicing.
To us Americans it is like a bark
back to old days to walk into one OF
the cabarets in Rotterdam and hShr
the local AL Jolsons and Raymond
Hitchcocks shouting out the familiar
strains of "Everybody's Doing It,"
"Alexander's Ragtime Band" "That
Mysterious Rag" "Fiddle q" and even
in some places Sarah Wanna" and
Cheyenne" says Corp. David Ram
seur in Chicago Post.a
Some of the entertainers sing In
English, some in Dutch, but all sing
them, sing all the old, old favorites.
But somehow the Dutch singers, lack
the "kick" and punch" And the
Rotterdam habitues are quick to ap-
preciate the difference between their
singing and the singing of the Ameri-
cans.
Helped Sing "Ragtime Band"
One evening party Of us entered
the He'll cabaret just as one of the
most popular Of Rotterdam entertain
ers was singing "Alexander's Ragtime
Band" in Dutch. When he reached the
chorus we all joined in, singing with
all our might. When we finished half
the people in the place were standing
on their feet and all Of them were
cheering and clapping. $50 we sang
again, and then at the request of the
orchestra leader we sang number OF
fairly new songs. Our success was
nearly riot and when we sang '"rhe
Darktown Strutfers' Ball" I thought
the tables would be wrecked.
When we finished two men came
over to our table and introduced them
selves. One was Peter Davids, who
seems to be the Flo Ziegfeld of Rotter-
dam, and the other newspaper man.
Both talked good English, and they
we're fairly bubbling with excitement.
They fairly begged us to get up an

went downtown with three fellows,
one Of whom had banjo and one
guitar. We staged several impromptu
concerts in various cafes and cabarets,
and when at IL o'clock everything
tlosed up we started home. An eager
trowd Of Hollanders followed us and
legged for just one more piece.
We were rather afraid Of getting
n wrong with the local police, but
finally we began one they all knew
'Everybody's Doing It." We had just
started on the chorus when up came
two of those tall, stern-loOking police
men, their long swords banging
against their sides. / nudged the
banjo player, but as i did so I saw
that both Of those dignified guardians
of the peace were singing, and so we
kept on, and the men we feared sang,
too. So we found out that the "jazz"
craze has even hit the police force.
Dancing is permitted in most cab
-arets and there are, besides, a num-
Der of dance halls where every night

dam try the steps Of American rag"
The Dutch are wont to be dignified
In their dancing and the spectacle Of
a couple trying to rag in the stilted
manner that one associates with the
dancing Of the mid-Victorian age is
amusing.

NEW FERTlIlZlNG MATERIAL.

The fertilizing material obtained from industrial wastes in the United States is stated by W. H. Ross of the bureau of soils to have included 10 per cent of the potash in 1916, 8 per cent of the phosphoric acid, and S5 per cent of the nitrogen. The potash was obtained from such wastes as tobacco stems, cottonseed hu!ls, hardwood ashes, wood washings, blast-furnace fue dust, cement ffue dust and sugar residues. The phos- phoric acid was supplied by such materials as bones, shells, fish scrap and basic slag. The nitrogen came from wastes in the manufacture of castor, linseed and fish oils; from animal wastes, as blood, hair, horns, hoofs and hides; from leather and wool wastes; from coke, and from numerous other substances. By adding feldspar and other potash minerals to cement materials, it Is believed the yearly recovery of pot ash from cenlent-plant waste might be raised from 70,O00 tons to 100,- 900 tons.
