LARGE CROWD AT.
TEND CELEBRATION
Dancing and Fireworks
Entertain at the Park
After Speaking
CONTINUE DANCES

Almost 1000 persons assembled at
the city park on the evening of July
Fourth to hear patriotic addresses,
watch fireworks 60 up, and to dance.
Except for the excessive crOwding
1due to such numbers the evening was
"a splendid success all round. A good
many were unable to reach the dance
floor, it was SO tightly surrounded.
First the speaking by Ralph w.
Adair and Guy Stevens brought en-
thusiastic applause, their subject
matter fitting the occasion
Mrs. Henry Simmons gave a vocal
solo, and also led the assembly in
singing together.
The fireworks, which had been
ordered by the Bingham County War
Veterans, were then set off, much to
the delight of the kiddies. The fire.
works fund was raised by popular
subscription by boy scout solicitors.
The new dance floor built at the
park by the veterans association in
vited the dancers to stay late. The
music by Barrer's orchestra was good
and a nice little profit was laid by
to the associations credit in the
bank.
Refreshments in the way of ice
cream and cakes we're soon exhausted
by the happy throng: They were
served by ladies of the V. /. s.
A dance will be given next Satur-
day evening at the park.

Commercial Club to
Investigate Advertising

At their regular Monday noon
luncheon members of the Blackfoot
commercial club board of governors
discussed the matter of money rails
ing schemes which come to town in
the shape of advertising campaigns
and special sales campaigns and de-
clared themselves in support of c..
S. Beebe, chairman of advertising.
in all such matters. Hereafter no
merchant in Blackfoot will be justi-
fed from a good business point o.
view in considering any advertising
or money raising scheme unless it
meets favor with a committee of
business men who will DE consulted
by Mr.. Beebe.
1t will be necessary sOr canvassers
to present their propositions tu the
advertising chairman, who in turn
presents it to a number of business
men to get their individual opinions.
If they are clearly in favor of the,
plan as legitimate piece of business
the solicitor goes out to merchants
and business men with the o. K.
upon his proposition of Mr.. Beebes
advising committee.
At the next meeting membership
drive will be discussed, and plans
for financing the club are also to be
taken up.

Important Water
Meeting Tuesday

A meeting of representatives of all
canal companies in the Blackfoot
country will be held at the court
house on Tuesday, July s, at 10 a. m.
to consider water shortage and the
means of obtaining relief, and. to
elect delegates to attend a meeting
at Idaho Falls at 10 a. m. Wednes-
day
The Idaho Falls meeting will con-
slider the needs and the available
water of the whole valley from Twin
Falls up, and plans will be considered
and probably acted on by wire at the
close of the meeting.
Conflicting reports have been pub
lished regarding the available water
and it now appears that the owners
of stored water in the lower valley
are offering to let some of their
water be taken out in the upper val
ley for immediate use if the owners
of the old water rights will guaran-
tee them the use of an equal amount
of the natural flow later in the sea-
son when the crisis has passed, and
this generous offer looms up like
God-send to the people of the upper
valley.

LOSING THE BEET CROP

Farmers whose beets are late and
where there is little prospect of
getting water are puzzled to know
what to do with them.
Harry Trego reports having a few
acres that he replanted that were
just ready to be thinned on the first
of July and he decided that the best
he could do with them for the
amount invested was to let them go
without thinning and merely culti-
vate them to hold the moisture and
keep the weeds down. He says he
thinks they may make stock feed
and if he invested the cost of
thinning them that might be equal to
the value of the beets he will get
from that ground where he cannot
get water or not much water he is
pushing cultivation to hold all the
moisture he can.

Dempsey New Title
Holder of the Ring


Jack Dempsey now has first claims
upon the heavyweight championship
of the world. The great audience
at Toledo, Ohio, that packed the
arena July Fourth had only the
pleasure of seeing three rounds of
fast boxing, when Willard's seconds
threw soaked towel into the ring
to signify that he conceded the battle
to his opponent.
Dempsey stepped right into the
mix first off and landed heavy chin
blow which knocked the big champ
ion to the floor, and seemed to daze
him for the remainder of the fight.
1t was fast going and heavy slugging.
Willard's head seemed to clear in
the third, but he had only been saved
from taking the count by, the gong
ending the first round, and he was
down again at the end of the third.
Willard was very badly beaten up.
Nobody claims he had any chance to
continue the fight. The fight was
more definitely settled than most
championship battles.

FOURTEEN YEAR-OLD BOY WAR
VETERAN WEARS HONOR CROSS

NEW YORK, July 2.-Michael
Carfdi, fourteen-year-old veteran of
the world war, who wears the French
and Italian war crosses for gallantry
in action, who arrived here as a
gTtowaway. from Marseilles six weeks
1ago, has been adopted by Miss Elsie
Janis and taken to her home at

officer, was killed early in the war
and his mother died soon afterward.

FLOWERS FOR YOU

The folks at Sagehurst have planted
one row of flowers for the public to
clip from as they wish. 1t is the
perennial peas bordering the front
walk. AS often as you go that way,
take your share and welcome.
Flowers are not sold at Sagehurst
under any circumstances. 1t is the
wish of those who raise them that
they be left on the stems for every
'hpdy to enjoy until they wither. Ex-
ception is made of those by the walk
so that children in particular can
have their little bouquets. If

CHAPTER TX.
The international Scale Pans.

Commercial life is confronted with a
new factor with which It must cope
the fiuctuation Of international ex-
change. The fuctuation of exchange
of course is nothing new in itself; hut
when the value OF the currency OF one
country measured in the currency OF
another goes through such a wide
range as is experienced In current
quotations the effect is felt through
out the furthest reaches of commerce.
Measured in terms OF our money there
has been a fiuctuation during the war
period in the value Of the pound from
81 to $3.50, OF the franc from 80 l-3c.
to l5c., OF the Ira from 25c. to lie, OF
the peseta from acc. TO lsc.. and Of the
guilder from sane. to S9%c.. and all
this TO say nothing OF the fluctuations
of the mark, which has been from 26c.
to lie, and OF the kroner, which has
been from 47Ac. to 24asc.
Take a nation like Italy, for ex-
ample. which must import every ton
of coal that runs its locomotives or
feeds it's factory boilers. and which
must provide foreign exchange to pay
for all its raw material. nearly all OF
which Ii bought in other countries. A
fiuctuation in the value Of the Ira,

ports. When the deficiency of ex-
ports was slight, and the financial
mechanism of the world normal the
correction was made by shipments Of
gold. The shipment Of gold tended di-
rectly to correct the balance, first,
from its own weight, but in a much
more important measure from its in
direct effect. When gold was shipped
out of country interest rates tended
to rise and prices to fall. The mar
kets OF that country became more IA
vorable to buy In time to sell It, and
the country's exports increased while
its imports decreased. Thus the bal
ance was brought back toward the
normal. Now. however we have a sit
uation where that form Of correction
can not be applied or can only be ap-
piled in a comparatively small degree
and in an ineffective way. What else
can be done to adjust the weights in
the pans so as 10 hold in check that
tendency of exchange rates further TO
fiuctuate from the normalP A nation
that faces an imperative need for i'm
ports and that has, for the time being
at least. an insufficient amount OF ex-
ports to counterbalance It's imports
may throw into the pan with its ex-
ports one other weight. the weight OF
its credit. If such a nation can make
ar external loan, the proceeds OF that
loan have the same effect in tending
to bring back toward the normal the
exchange rate as would an amount OF
merchandise exports of the same value
as the loan.
II the out OF balance condition Is
only a temporary one that needs but
the progress OF a season to correct
then the loan may take the form OF
bank credits; and the function OF
international bank credits Is usually
that of correcting temporary out OF
balance conditions. But Europe faces

to supply merchandise for export fol

longer period than 1t would be safe oil

must exist, therefore, for a consider
