There are boosters, and there are
boosters. Mary Franklin Mcintyre
thinks that American Falls should
father a couple OF industries, some
thing like a shirtwaist OF a wooden
goods factory.
A number Of men were taking II
easy In the sheriff's office talking
over the latest criminal case, when
q familiar, easily-recognized little
form walked in and wanted to know
why she should have to pay taxes on
the land she was renting out to the
county fair association inasmuch as
they had agreed to pay the axes on
the land for the use thereof. she
flashed a documentary communication
from the county assessor, which the
listeners soon assured her was only
a tax valuation certificate and not a
request for taxes.
The Mcintyre place is not included
within the city limits, inasmuch as
she never would come in. THAT
little spot OF Gods earth over there
said Mrs. Intyre, "is going to stay
right in my hands, and no one Is go
ing to get hold of 1t or buy m of II
for a right of way for some little

LOCAL SUPERINTENDENT
Miss Drake Says POcatellO Institution
Is Fulfilling in Every Way Rosy
Dreams Of FOunders-Delegates
Well Entertained.

The Idaho Technical Institute is
rapidly assuming a foremost place in
Idaho's educational institutions and
it is fulfilling in every way the most
rosy dreams of its founders, accord
ing to Goldie Drake, Power county
superintendent of schools, who re-
last week from Pocatello, wher
she and 81 other county school super
intendents went following their con-
vention at Albion, says the Boise
Statesman.
President Frazier of the Technical
Institute met US at an advance sta
ton and conducted us to Pocatello,
where we found all reservations
made for us prior to our arrival"
said Miss Drake.
Luncheon was served as soon as
we arrived at the institute after
which we assembled in the auditor
ium and were given a brief resume of
the institutes work by the various in
s%tructors.
There is a completely equipped
gymnasium at the institute with a
large swimming pool, a modern din
ing room which will be conducted in
coordination with the domestic science
department, and a musical conserva-
tory equipped with IL pianos, each of
which is enclosed in a private room.
Regular classes in music will be es-
tablished.
YictrOla Helps Rhythm.
Typical of the modern methods
employed in teaching at the insti-
tute is the use of a Victrola in the
typewriting class to establish rhythm
in touch. Training is also given in
engineering, auto mechanics, com
mercial and home dressmaking, and
domestic science.
"In addition to the other courses
the institute offers training in ANNA
%husbandry, d%airying, poultry hus'
bandry and soil culture. For thi'
: purpose 1t has purchased a 200 acr'
| farm two miles from the schoo
building, which is equipped with mod
ern buildings and machinery. Thii
farm possesses the champion prize
winning hog of Idaho. Preparation
4 are now being made to build an irri
. cation reservoir which will obtain wa
ter from springs on nearby hills.
: Boys of 16 years of age are admit
. ted to the manual training class q
q the institute and are taught bot
n theoretical and practical phases {

The farmers themselves did IL.
They became tired of the endless

a stop to 1t. The leaders, in their

sort of compromise rs between Lead

Hall, a recent importation from North
Dakota, by leaving Hall in charge OF

hitting Scholtz to go on until the
next convention of officials of the
league as president.
In effect, however, Scholtz Is GU

times is promised.
Meantime, the farmers for the mos
part have charged up to loss the sum.
they have put up for these leader
