charge of $50 German prisoners.
His description of them is point
ed, unprejudicc, but not polite.
Aud what should give us food
for thought is his inlimation
that most Of them had decided
to come to America after the

out.

not share them with malignants

Noble is our thought of Washington
Greatest of any American
Loved by all both great and small
Because he let not our nation fail
at Valley Forge he would not cease
Until hu had won peace.
Determined, truthful aud fearless was he
Like every other American should bc.
lie heard his country's call
And came forward lest il fall
Dauntless and fearless came he
To save us from aulocracy.
Washington looked for great things
Fcarlcssness and courage this doth bring
lie certainly won his name,
For his courage aud fame
All through his life
II wss hardship aud strife,
Yet never once did he despair
For he knew God would be fair.
Now this example he set for us
And stick to II we must.
II we consider it great or small
We must stick TO il one and all.

BAND FOR
BLACKFOOT

II the plans of L. N. Harmon, band
leader, carry, and if there is suffici-
emit ambition in Blackfoot's young
people, it will not be year before
trained and organized musical talent
in this town will be making good
in the form of a city band. This
would not only be an asset to the
town but a pleasure to its citizens
as we'll. Everybody loves band.
Many good times are made more
lively with jazzy, brass-mouthed,
barbershop harmonies.. And a love
for good music invariably follows
a succession of we'll planned con-
certs. .
Not so often does 1t happen that
beginners on band instruments can
get a start in an organization whose
leader has desire to teach them
and develop their talents. A good
deal of musical work of that sort is
done out of the love for music that
prompts real musicians. No other
profession in the world, we think,
is largely inspirational. No other
work is so much like play, nor gets
so much push from just the love
OF it.
Many great musicians date their
careers from such opportunities as
this offered by Mr.. Harmon's pres
ence.

THOMAS


We regret that it has been neces-
sary for relatives of the deceased to
call the local correspondents atten-
ton to the fact that The Republican
has not as yet reported upon the
death of the late respected P. Tony
Peterson, who died here on June s.
But the writer as local correspondent
here is to a considerable extent re-
sponsible for this neglect. But the
readers also should remember that
If they desire the news of the COM
munity thru the paper it is the duty
of each to call up the local correspon-
ent when they are in possession of
any local news item. Report Of Mr..
Peterson's death follows:
Obituary
P. Tony Peterson, choir and band
leader of Thomas, passed to the great
beyond on June 6, after suffering for
some weeks with leakage of the
heart. Mr.. Peterson was highly re-
spected citizen, having served the
community we'll with his musical
talent since coming among US, some
years ago.
He married since coming here Mrs
Almena Furniss Parsons and leaves
besides his wife three living children
the issue of this latter marriage and
eight children by his former mar.
riage. Mrs. Peterson expresses deer
gratitude to thos neighbors who
came and planted the crops and as.
sisted her in caring for them thru
the long weeks of his illness and
death.
John Edwards lost one of his fine
gray mares which constitute his only
team on June 6 with spasmadit
collie. This loss to John in the
cropping season is a serious one.
The ball given at the hall by the
relief society was largely attended
and should be quite renumerative tt
that organization.
John Baker has just replanted his
beets and says with good stand he
can still make ten tons to the acre
Nick Kunz of Beru, Idaho is here
for brief visit with his brother
Ezra and family. Since coming here
he has purchased from a japanese
farmer residing on the Knodle farm
gasoline engine and centrifugal
pump, which he is taking back with
him and will attempt the pumping OF
water from well ten feet square and
fifteen feet deep for irrigation on his
dry farm. AS a pioneer in deep well
irrigation we wish him success
While here he met for the first time
two cousins, Mrs. Paul H. Alfred
and Mrs. B. E. Briscoe.
Bishop John R. Williams is around
again after suffering for some time
with a severe attack of pneumonia
and bronchial trouble.

ITA[]AN CABINET

DEFEATED IN THE CHAMBER OF
DEPUTIES, ORLANDO AND ASSo-
GATES QUIT POST.
Premier Declares That italy's Peace
With Germany and Austria Has
Been Solved In a Manner Salts
factory to Him.

Rome.-The Italian government re-
signed June 10, following an adverse
vote against it in the chamber of dep
uties.
Premier Orlando, in announcing his
resignation and that of the cabinet,
said that Victor Emmanuel had re-
served decision as to acceptance.
The chamber Of deputies had, by a
vote of 259 to Is, rejected Premier
OrlandO's motion in favor Of discus
sing the question of confidence, which
related to the foreign policy of the
government, in secret session.
Prior to the vote, Premier Orlando
in addressing the chamber said:
"Italy's peace with Germany and
Austria has been solved in manner
with which, ON the whole, l feel sat
isfied."
Insisting on, the necessity of q Sc
cret session, the premier declared the
government needed greater confidence
and should treat his motion for a Sc
cret session as a question of conf
dence. The Socialists Immediately op-
posed this.
Signor Orlando urged parliament to
separate the discussion Of foreign at
fairs from the internal. policy of the
country, the latter being virtually alb
sorbed in the grave question of the
high cost of living. Past history
showed, he said, that internal pertur-
bations were transitory and that equi-
librium soon would be regained.
In summing up the situation, SignOr
Orlando said:
"The deep unrest throughout the
world leads to pessimism such as was
never experienced during the war. I'm
mediately after the armistice was
signed the peoples in general, Italy in
particular, never went through such
dark days as now. This is the most
acute phase of the immense crisis arts.
ing from the war. Nevertheless, l am
not discouraged, believing, as do, that
the situation gradually will anchor
ate."

cARRANZA'S FAMILY HAS FLED
Reported That Mexican President Il
Preparing to Quit office.

Ell Paso.-A copy of an extra news,
paper bearing the headline, 1.-THE Days
of Carranza Are Numbered" was
brought here Thursday by an Ameri.
can who said the edition was sup,
pressed soon after it appeared on the
streets in Mexico City.
The American said he was told by
the Pullman conductor on the train
coming to the border, that President
Carranzas family had been brought
to the border by a nephew of Car.
rama and had crossed to the United
States.
The American, who had been on a
business trip through the republic, re.
ported much dissatisfaction with the
Carranza government because of the
way the state elections were conducted
recently.

NOGALES, Ariz.-Two American
citizens were saved from execution
Thursday at Hermosillo by the

Several pairs of local campfire
girls have volunteered to solicit the
business people of the town with
petitions to raise 500 for the Fourth

promptly with their dollar as this

The plan is to have the fireworks
set off at the city park about sun
down, before the dance begins.
The work is being conducted under
the supervision of Bingham County
