other forms of games of chance any
where within the county limits.

There has not been an arrest made
for gambling for several weeks. which

At farm bureau meeting at Raynes-
ford Monday night, County Agent +. E.
MacSpadden talked to the farmers on
the hay question. Quoting some statis-
tics he proved to the farmers that the

and that the situation for Montana live

crop was used and 100000 tons left
over for this years use.
1.-THE larger supply with practically
the same demand has already shown q
tendency to bring down prices. and al
tho the hay market is dropping slowly
right at present, cose tab on the
market the next few days or weeks is
bound to be more favorable than other
wise for the Montana stockmen."

lows:

the development of your city and the
spirit that your city shows in back
ing up this educational work.
II have made more than 100 trips
across the continent and have always
wondered why the western people do
not make a larger imprint on national
affairs than they do. ! have found
the answer to some of these questions
and l want to talk to you for few
minutes in plain English along these
lines.

souri, river you have population
just about equal to the three states,

or Omaha for anything that P0catello
can supply. Blackfoot is better of
when Pocatello has that business
than II Salt Lake or Denver had it..
Pocatello pays taxes to the same state
government as Blackfoot.
1.-THE same principle applies to

FORCED CEIE.
BRATION

The vexacious question of store
closing has been up to Blackfoor
merchants again in connection with
Armistice day, which has not yet
been made a national holiday, but
only proclaimed by the governor of
the state as a fitting day to be
celebrated.
The Blackfoot post of the Ameri-
can Legion, anticipating all declara-
tions, and considering that the day
was Of compelling Importance, ar
ranged holiday celebrations, in the
form of athletic contests, foot ball
game and ball. Then a petition
was circulated to find out if the mer-
chants were in favor of closing their
business for the day, and most of
them signed it.
During the war it was necessary to
make all public acts unanimous, but
now that we are back to normal it
really should not be such strenuous
business to get holidays. 1t should
be decided by the public. Any holt
day is only half-hearted affair when
it has to be forced by petitions and
promises.
II the public would rather do bust
ness on any special day and the mer-
chants would rather remain open to
business, their combined will is 60
ing to prevail. Armistice day only
marked the close of war. Scarcely
anybody knows on what day the
Civil war closed, or even the war of
revolution.
The Blackfoot commercial club is
having printed cards made for all
business houses, naming as recog-
nized holidays Christmas, New Year
Day, Memorial Day, independence
Day, Pioneer Day, Labor Day and
Thanksgiving. y
The soldiers, sailors and marines
were mostly out of luck last year
when the home towns put on the big
Armistice Day celebration, and they
wanted to have turn this time. But
they are back among home folks now,
whose say-so goes.-F. c. X.

MODERN ALCHE-
MISTS

Before science was developed much
in any direction and when, men
naturally blamed supernatural
agencies for the strange happenings
they could not explain there were
number of queer fellows who called
| themselves ''alchemists. Their
trade was to perform little miracles
such as finding lost articles, healing
the sick, and other tricks of the
sleight-of-hand type. They would
give talismans to keep away sickness
and accidents for money, the more
the money the more the protection.
For many, many years the alche-
mists sought for solution of prob
lens now classified as metallurgical.
They tried in vain to change iron,
copper, lead and such metals, to gold
and silver. Instead of trying to find
out the basic elements of metals they
tried to change them by tricks, in
carnations, prayers, guesswork pro-
cesses and sheer imagination.
Alchemists got to be classed in the
old days as we now class mediums"
If they could catch Sucker" they
would change everything he touched
to gold, and turn him out penniless.
It seems odd, after all these years
Of education and mental uplift, that
the human race should contain a
large number of modern alchemists.
They are just so sure that you can
change nothing to something that
their comfort and perhaps their very
lives on it. They are the workers
who seek to force employers to pay
them more than they earn. Some
have not sought in vain. To all ap-
pearances the railroad men are sue
cessful. Others are going hungry for
their beliefs.
Steel and copper and lead are be-
ing changed to gold in hundred
ways now every day, but not by
physical change. BY adding a certain
amount of brain power to those base
metals a product ID brought out that
commands gold on the market.
The old alchemist failed TO take
work. The workers Of today should
beware Of false hopes. Not with all
the power of the famous German
army can any class of PEG de in the
world today get something for MOTH
ing. They may be able to get more
than they are now paid, but tl.cy
can not long receive more than they
earn. 1t is up to them to study
economics, be moderate and draw the
lines fine.-F. G. X.

Washington, Sept. 16.-During the
debate on the bill to provide tariff on
pearl buttons, Representative Frank
w. Mondell, Republican floor leader,
took fling at Claude Kitchen, Of
North Carolina, Democratic ranking
member of the Ways and Means Com
mittee, in reply to his assaults on the
protective principle.
"Shall the nation do its own work. y
he asked, cor shall the work of the
nation be done by the underpaid peo-
pies of the Orient? Shall we make
these products in America or shall
they be made by Japanese? When
you state that question you state the

do it's work or shall we allow the
Oriental, with his low rate of pay
and his low standard of living, do it !
In that event, who is going to furnish

that it fought through the war with

coats and some trousers. All the

he said, were supplied to the division
by the British. The divisions artil-

Buy Your Coal Direct
From Mine-Big Saving

The high cost Of coal Is thing Of
the pasti At least. there are no COM
plants on this account--since the re-
moval Of government restrictions
among those who have learned how to
buy coal. The way to buy coal Is to
get It direct from the mines. This
saves several middlemen's profits. It
saves hauling expenses. Anyone can
now buy at mine prices, whether q car
load buyer or one who uses only ten
or fifteen tons q year. This has
been made possible through a plan
evolved by a large and old-estab-
lished concern. THE BERNICE COAL
COMPANY, with main offices at
Como Building, Chicago.
This company has thousands of cus-
toners in various sections of the
United States who receive all of their
coal direct from the mines. These Gus
toners are pleased not only because
of the many dollars they save every
year, but also because Of the quality
Of coal they are getting. Many write
that they never before had coal that
makes SO little dust. that burns so
well, leaving so few ashes IF you are
q coal user-whether you use hard or
soft coal, much or little-it will be
greatly to your advantage to write the
Bernice Coal Co. at once for prices,
stating kind and quantity OF coal you
use.
