of its canteens and other activities
which relieved the hardships and
added brightness to the lives of the
soldiers during the fighting days
calls attention to the big oanteen in
the historic city of Chalons-sur-
Marne. The establishment is not only
ono of tho first on such a scale
launched. but has grown to be one of
the largest in France and stands as
q monument to the devoted work of
q little changing group Of American
women and girls and also of occa-
sional French and English workers.
In the days of peace at home most
OF them might have been classified
as idle rich, but that term is hardly
where they worked twenty-four
hours in the day, serving in that
time meals and hot drinks to between
1000 and 5000 soldiers.
Imperiled by Bombs.
In addition to working hard the
canteen women in this place We're
subjected almost nightly to bombing
by German airplanes, the group of
big buildings adjoining the railroad
station offering an inviting target.
Into that canteen since Its doors
were opened have come more than
2.000. 900 tired and hungry soldiers
who have departed with their physi-
cal wants satisfied and their spirits
frightened. French. American and
British soldiers passing through, half
starved allied prisoners returning

Rex Dunlap Gets j.
A Good Position
Formerly With B0dse-Payette Co.
Here; Assigned . Position a
s'tN m at Mountain Home q
HELD IN HIGH ESTEEM

Rex Dunlap got home from the
army service Saturday night and left
on Wednesday afternoon to take his
new job as manager of the Boise
Payette Lumber company at Mount
ian Home.
Mr.. Dunlap was with the Idaho
Lumber company at the Blackfoot
office for three years, and then with
the Boise-P -Payette from the time Of
the purchase Of the business by them
until he was drafted in the summer
Of 1917. This company have been
saving place for him, and when he
arrived home, they checked up and
gave him this assignment. The fact
that they gave him this position is
sufficient proof of the high regard
in which they hold him, and their
promptness in assigning him is as
surance to Mr.. Dunlap that they are
the right kind of people to be con-
nected with. ~ eo5a
Mr.. Dunlap is going to town he
knows little about, but he says he
hopes he will have as much reason
to like the place as he has to like
Blackfoot; the town he has hailed
from for over four years, and glad
to name 1t when men have said,

BOY WANTS TO
SQUARE HIMSELF
" ayne Mills Not Connected With
s The Recent Post Office
Robbery
VISITED THE "ROBBERs" DEN

Wayne Mills is one of the Black
foot boys whose name was mentioned
among those called into court when
the officers unearthed considerable
evidence about the robbery of the
post office, the freight car and the
theft Of cartridges, robes and blan-
kets. g'a
The boys had a dug-out, where
some Of the stolen property. was
taken. and Wayne had visited with
the gang at the dug-out. Wayne
says the only part he had in the
whole trouble was that he was in
the company Of the other fellows at
their dug-out, and claims he did not
havea part in any Of the thefts.
So far as we can learn, this state
ments seems to be correct, and Post
Master Jones says he is not known
In the post office robbery. Wayne
asks US to announce this so the dis
grace will not be attached unjustly
to his name.
we rather like the boy for wanting
to clear his name. OF course Wayne
has in times gone by, annoyed peo-
pie o. good deal by dashing along
the walks with that ride-and-kick
wagon of his, and made a good many
Of US get out Of the way to play safe,
when he was violating the city or
di1ance about vehicles on the~walk,
but who in the dickens didn't annoy
people when he was a boy.

COMMISSIONERS MET

The county commissioners had q
meeting Thursday and at IL O'Clock
they received q delegation Of about
twenty men who expressed their
views about building permanent
roads. A number Of farmers rang up
from their homes and talked to some
member of the board.
All who talked in the meeting
were in favor of starting something
looking toward bonding the county
for the best roads that could be
made, taking into consideration that
all parts of the county should re-
ceive consideration.
1t being shown that measure is
now pending the action Of the legis-
lature to cut down Bingham's share
of a proposed appropriation Of state
and federal money, Charles e. Harris
was appointed to 60 to Boise at once
and work in connection with Theo-
dore Turner of Bannock county to
remedy the unfair apportionment.
The commissioners said they were
convinced that they have the backing
of citizens and will start something
in the direction Of an extensive road
making campaign.

DUBOIS PROJECT
DRAWING 0THERSN
Reclamation Congress
Called to Meet at
Pocatello
THE
WATCHWORD NOW

AS more cities and towns join in
the movement to revive and extend
the Dubois, project, more help Is
given and opposition fades away in
view of the tremendous advantages
of cooperation as advocated by its
promoters. The big men of the big
projects of Southern Idaho are gen.
erous in their support of anything
looking to creating greater Idaho,
and the slogans stirring Idaho's
thoughtful men signify that all the
run-Off Of the entire Snake river
drainage basin, both the surface
waters, the flood waters and the
underground rivers, should be mar
shalled under one supreme manage
ment to reclaim all the irrigable
lands of the whole great valley in it's
sweep from the Bitterroot mountains
to the Oregon line, and all the wealth
and influence of all the projects and
adjacent irrigated country should get
behind the movement as it will be
outlined. at the Pocatello reclama-
tion congress next Friday.
Idaho is made up of men from all
the states in the Union. 1t deals
with men who have commercial con-
nections with all the states of the
Union. 1t can secure endorsements
from all the states in the Union for
it's present undertaking and thru
them secure hearing with repre-
sentatives and senators in all the
seats in congress.
idaho is now handing to congress,
just what it has been asking for in
reclamation, something big. The
government has on its hands work.
ing force SO great that it threatens
the welfare of the nation to turn
it loose with nothing to do, and
Idaho hands it a task that staggers
the comprehension of man for its
achievement. An yet it can be done
for less than the cost of the Panama
canal, and will create wealth that
would have swamped the ideas Of
those who built the Colossus Of
Rhodes or cheered the wealth OF
Diana of the Ephesians. a
In our next issue we will tell In
detail how the work is progressing
and how the plans are shaping.

Goyernment VIII Help

Bingham county doesn't have to
pay all the expense of road building.
The federal government has set
aside 25,000,000 to share up with
any road organization that will spend
money on its own roads on the fifty
fifty plan, and we can get roads now
at half of their<cost.

Railroad VIII Help

We can do better than that; we
can secure the cooperation of the
oregon Short Line in building high
lines to handle the gravel on the
gravity plan and thus cut out much
expense. We have motor trucks and
dump wagons waiting, and can get
our roads graveled now at less than
SO cents on the dollar. A bill is now
pending in congress, proposing to
furnish two dollars to one for these
poor western states that haven't
much population (nor spunk,) and if
1t becomes law it will be a challenge
to us, daring us to put one dollar in
three of the expense of making any
kind of roads for ourselves at any
place We select, and at any time we
want to act.
1t Would Serve Us Right
If Bingham county doesn't act this
year it would only be just reward
for us to find that the $525,OOO,00O
of federal appropriation is gobbled
up by other states, counties and road
districts, and that there is none left
for us and no chance to get roads ex-
cepting by paying the whole expense.
We Would Rush Matters
We are for gravel roads, handled
by steam shovel, freight cars, high
lines, dump wagons and motor
trucks, mixed with the scarifer,
moistened with portable gasoline
outfit in dry weather,
packed with the steam roller,
and the whole outfit in charge
of soldiers who are ambi-
ti0us to show us how they build
roads at the cantonements and in
France.
Serving Another Purpose
After the roads are built we shall
still have the high lines for use in
coal and beet pulp, and for
further road work if the heavy traf-
fic Of the future makes it desirable
TO coat the roads heavier with our
gravel from Goshen.
The first treatment will make a suit
able foundation for any further top
finish we want to put on.

It has one hardware store where the

we want to tell you about it, not that

all concerned. As you read about 1t

HOW TO RAISE
YOUR SALARY
Republican Writer Goes
Salt Lake Tribune
One Better
MODERN STORE
IN BLACKFOOT

A writer for the Salt Lake Tribune
set q lot of US to thinking by saying
that III there is no end to space,
what a great distance it must be to
where it ceases altogether"
Some business writer's have thrown
fresh hope and courage into the
minds Of people working on salary,
by saying that in the average busi-
ness If the employer and the en-
ployee are all right and alive and
studious, there is no limit to the
advances the employee may receive
in salary and yet be making more
money for the employer. That state
ment will be looked upon as an
absurdity by most employers and
employees. but note that it is quail
fed by the statement, If employer
and employee are alive and studi-
Ous."
Now comes another bomb-shell
into the camp of the unthinking who
plod along in the old way, and are
not alive to the improvements of the
times as made possible by the live,
thinking men of the day. In we'll
arranged hardware store, one sales
man in small room, can display as
much goods and wait on as many
customers per hour as two or three
statesmen in larger room handled
on the old plan.
Just to make plain what we mean
take the case of the average man
going into the average hardware
store to buy some tools, say brace
and some bits to bore holes, pair
of hinges, a lock for a door and some
catches for cupboard doors. The
clerk looks along the shelves and
then climbs up on the counter and
jerks out pasteboard box and
throws 1t down on the counter.
Then he jerks out one or two more
and throws them down and gets
down himself. He opens a box, takes
out a bit, unrolls the tissue paper
and exhibits the bit. The customer
looks at it, asks for a different size,
it is dug out of box, then another
size, and when the selection is fin-
ally made, six or eight bits have
been unpacked, the tissue paper torn
and the dainty edges of the cutting
parts of the bits have been battered

1t has been said that Bingham
county is so weak financially that We
cannot afford to make hard surfaced
roads; that it requires all Of oul
$4,000 year road tax to MAINTAIN
the roads we have; that five Dor.
