their gratitude for this assistance
which was made possible through the
generosity of the American people.

COMMERCIAL CLUB
IDEA PROSPERS

The Bingham County civic league
grew out of need for, cooperation
between all the men engaged in
building the community. The or
CARNATIONS of war time put an end
to it's activity, but as soon as the war
had passed over that impelling need
for working together in common
cause brought forth another organi-
zation, this time the Blackfoot COM
mercial club, in, midsummer, 1919.
These things are all governed by
the principle of demand and supply.
There was demand for memberships
in this new club, but the supply was
only potential-it was not taken to
the consumer, until last week when
the big campaign opened. Reports
already indicate the formation of a
broad and solid base for future COM
mercial club operations, with pos
sibly, two hundred and fifty paid
memberships. Up to this time
scarcely week had not been partly

occupied with some sort of drive or
other, for raising funds.
AS the central committee of this
budding organization q board of
governors took charge of community
matters at regular Monday luncheon
meetings at the Eccles hotel They
had much more support in every un-
dertaking than could have been fur
nished by the nucleus of members
who met in the summer and elected
the board. This support was evil
dence Of demand for opportunity to
help in matters of general benefit to
the community. At the first hint of
closing the blackfoot sugar factory
the board got into communication
with the Utah-Idaho sugar company
and received assurances that the ru-
mors were unfounded. The board
worked up a big home coming cele-
bration for returned service men
which was carried off in the middle
of September with great success.
Reclamation matters were taken up
and enterprises encouraged.
Though the Bingham county civic
league handled no funds of any size
it is undoubtedly true that it's en-
thusiastic discussions of new road
building in the county bore fruit in
the unanimous vote for the 5000, 900
good road bonds last spring"
The new club will have funds, but
1t is not the intention of the present
board of governors to commence
looking around for places to throw
the money. When the memberships
are in, large mass meeting will be
called at which ideas about where
the power of the organization can
best be used may be voiced by any
citizen. The nature of the clubs
program will then be agreed upon.
For six months this club has ex-
listed on the idea of cooperation.
From now on it will have the backing
of large membership, and it can
undertake and carry out big things.

What's Wrong
With Idaho Bows

State educational officials faced a
sociological mystery Monday when it
was found that 1855 delinquent boys
are, enrolled at the St. Anthony state
industrial school, as compared with
an enrolment of only 80 at this time
last year.
The total attendance at the St. An
thony school is now 200 (155 boys
and As girls), whereas it was 1875 a
year ago COZ boys and 43 girls).
The remarkable story of these fig
ures is to the effect that male juve-
nile delinquency has suddenly scared
in the state. And state officials are
asking why?
"C'est lie Guerre."
DR.. e. A. Bryan, commissioner of
education, as he made public the
statistics, hazarded a guess that the
end of the war may have had some
thing to do with so many young fell
lows falling into the hands of juve-
nile officers.
He would not make the statement in
the form of personal opinion, but,
merely as a guess, said that it may be
that boys during the war found
plenty of employment, the older

years of age being in the army.
is kept them out of mischief.
Now, with the soldiers returned
to their old positions, the younger
men are not so generally employed
and may possibly have fallen into
bad habits on this account.
The sociological explanation is adj
mittedly mystery. The practical
side of the revelation of the Stats
tics is not so mysterious, however.
Doctor Bryan declared that the un-
looked for increase in the enroll
ment will make it difficult to stretch
the state appropriation for wearables
and eatables at the school to cover
the new requirements. The legisla-
ture, while allowing for normal
growth, did not anticipate sudden
jump of so per cent, he said.

md cartons for packing and ship
ping goods, and that cuts down
closer than ever the production of
print paper.
Predictions Were Correct
For a couple of years we have been
predicting sweeping changes in the
newspaper field, with rising prices
and greater scarcity of labor and ma
terials, and experience to date has
proved our theories were correct.
Last fall we backed up our predic-
ms by laying In a supply of print
PAPER sufficient to carry us a year
and half, and during the year the
price has gone up forty dollars ton.
We are now predicting that the scar
city of skilled help to operate news
papers will continue to grow in in
tensity until 1923 or longer, before
1t changes for the better. We pre-
dict that newspaper positions now
paying fifty dollars week will COM
mand hundred dollars week be-
fore the peak" prices begin to
shrink, and that printers who now
receive forty dollars a week will re-
ceive sixty to eighty dollars week
before the tide turns.
Two Bad Remedies Coming
In our judgment there are only
two things that can prevent such a
shortage and such prices. One is
that many country newspapers
may fail and thereby release work.
ers for service in the other plants.
The other is that linotypes, typo
graphs and other type-setting ma
chimes shall be manufactured and
sold fast enough to take the place
of the natural loss of printers by
death and by change of vocation,
One startling fact that most people
have overlooked is that practically
no apprentices are being taught the
printing trade, and even if there
were, it requires several years for
them to learn it, and when learned,
the valuable time they have devoted
to that trade to learn it represents
a large sum lost by not being at work
in any one of the other occupations
paying high wages where no particu-
lar preparation is required. Thes
young man who sacrifices a thous-
and dollars year for four years, to
learn the printing trade, is not going
to work for twenty or thirty dollars
a week after ne has learned it, any
more than a doctor who has spent
several years in medical college is
going to go out and sell his services
at thirty or forty dollars week af-
ter he has finished his education.
Will BE Too Late
repeat our predictions-print
paper is going to be higher. Print
ers will be fewer in number and
their salaries will be immensely
higher. Young people will not realize
the vast opportunities ahead in the
printing trades until the opportunity
is so we'll advanced that it will be
a doubtful proposition to start in to
learn the trade in time to reap of the
harvest. In the meantime news
papers will simply close their doors
for lack of skilled help.

ton at almost any day in the year.
When the armistice was signed one
year ago It was selling at about $110
a ton, and now it is hard to get at
$3.50.
People who expected it to 60 down
after the armistice, found that 1t
went up instead. This was mainly
because 1t was possible to get space
in ships to send it abroad when we
quit rushing soldiers to Europe, and
foreign consumers bought up all they
could find means of shipping. That
meant that the visible supply was
cut still shorter than. before.
During the year the paper mills
have had labor troubles and some of
them have gone to making compo-
board, beaver-board and other pulp
goods for buildings, and pulp boxes

WHY SOCIETY WOMEN WASH

but because they wish to obtain
the greatest possible hair beauty
and be sure they are not using
anything harmful. They have

It is never wise to use a make
shift but is always advisable to
use a preparation made for sham
pooing only. Many of our friends
say they get the best results from
"a simple homemade canthrox
mixture. You can use this at a
cost OF about 8 cents a shampoo
by getting some canthrox from
your druggist and dissolving a
teaspoonful in a cup of hot water.
This makes enough shampoo liquid
to apply to all the hair instead OF
just the top of the head, as with
most preparations. Dandruff, ex-
cess oil and dirt are dissolved and
entirely disappear in the rinsiny
