u. S. Troopers Pursue
Bandits Across Border

WASF1INGTON.-I desire to
reiterate the statement made here"
said Senator Fall of New Mexico, on
the floor Of the senate recently, that
within the last several months
will not undertake to limit the time
exactly-upon either seven or eight
occasions troopers of the seventh
cvavalry, United States army, have
pursued Mericans across the Rio
Grande into Mexico and that upon
either six or seven of those occasions
they have recovered large amount
Of the stolen property carried across
by the raiding Mexicans. I desire
further to reiterate the statement
that Carranza's soldiers and officers
have been killed, not only in Mexico
but on this side, by our Regular
American soldiers, troopers of the
seventh calvary"
Senator Fall put into the Record
a telegram giving a list of Carranza
officers and soldiers killed in raids
on this side by American troopers.
"1n raids upon this side" Senator
Fall said further, "bugles of the
regular Carranzista forces have been
left when the thieves we're driven of.
I may say that an investigation will
show that at least two sabers and &C
counterments of Carranzista officers
killed on this side are now in the
possession of Americans"

BILLS BOUGHT
CENTER OF TOWN

The Bills Auto company has just
purchased the three lots on the south
side of the City Hall from w. H.
Bean, for Sill, 900, and is planning to
build a garage 7oX125 with a full
basement and two stories. They
have not gone far enough yet to
know when they will begin the build
ing, but that is the program to be
worked out. The business is increas-
ing and the need for more room is
urgent.
This transaction was handled thru
j. A. Stewart of Blackfoot.
The history of these lots for the
past decade is indicative of the
growth of values in the business
section. About twelve years ago
Editor Trego wanted the lots and
could have gotten them for $500,
but he lacked about $500 Of having
enough. After waiting a couple of
years he was offered the lots for
$500, and he thought it too high,
and was still about $4,000 short in
his funds. Three years ago Mr.. Bean
offered them to Mr.. Bills for $500
and Bills said it was too much
money. After some months waiting
and study, Bills decided to pay $500
but Bean was holding them at $4,000.
Bills wanted the lots, but he thought
of that extra $4,000 he would be pay
ing that he might as well have saved
and he rejected the offer. Mr.. Bean
remarked that the lots would go
higher, and that it would not be long
until he could sell them for ten or
eleven thousand, because it was get
ting to be more apparent every day,
that this was about the center of the
business district and likely to remain
one of the best corners for a long
time to come. Bills waited and
studied the matter for another year
and decided that those lots were
worth all that Bean asked for them
and when hhe went to buy he found
that the price was 900 net, and
going higher. Bills bought.

Millions Saved in
Education by Metrics

SAN FRANCISCO. = Americas
greatest educators are supporting the
move made by the World Trade club
of San Francisco to secure the adop;
tion of metric units of weights and
measures by Britannia and the
United States. "The adoption of the
metric system by the United States
would facilitate teaching of mathe-
mates and applied sciences in
schools" wires President Emeritus
Charles w. Eliot of Harvard Univer-
sityr President Nicholas Murray
Butler of Columbia has also sent the
World Trade club telegram of sup
port. DR.. Joseph ". Collins, an
eminent educator, declares that the
people of the United States lose
$4,000, 900 yearly in education be-
cause of the time wasted in teaching
a system so much more complicated
and difficult than the metric system.

Wants American
Dead to Lie Overseas

PARIS.-Prior to his departure
for Coblenz Thursday night, where
Friday he was to begin his vale
dictory" tour of German occupied
territory, first visiting the American
and then the French and British
zones, General John ]. Pershing
Thursday afternoon received the
American newspaper correspondents
in his Paris home.
General Pershing talked on vari-
GUS subjects-the American dead
buried in France against the removal
of which he said he would advise;
the preparations that are being made
for the American troops to leave
France and concerning the release of
the $4,000 German prisoners held by
the American army.
Reviews Picked Fighters
Later, General Pershing reviewed
the famous American composite bat
talon which represented the Ameri-
can eXpeditionary forces in Paris in
the Bastile day parade and in London
Al the Victory day celebration. The
review probably will be the last of
the American military ceremony in
France. Large crowds viewed the
evolutions and accorded the troops
a hearty reception.
General Pershing's trip Friday,
which will be made by automobile,
will carry him over the entire west
ern battlefront from Belfort, near
the Swiss border, to Newport on the
Belgian coast.
Should Lie in France
In declaring that he did not favor
the removal of the American dead
buried in France, General Fershing
said he was arranging FOR a confer
ence with American artists with a
view to making plans for the beauti-
fications of permanent cemeteries
and the erection of monuments to the
American soldiers. He spoke with
some emphasis saying he felt that as
the men had fought and died in
France they should lie in France.
He said he believed the French felt
the same as he did and that the
presence of the American dead in
their soil would always be reminder
Of how the two nations had fought
together. He added that each year
there would be official representa-
ton at Memorial day celebrations.

VOCATION ADVICE
OFFERED SATURDAY

The federal board for vocational
education, organized by the govern
ment for vocational training OF dis
ab:ed soldiers, sailors and marines,
will have a representative in Black
foot on August 9. This representa-
tive, will be here for the purpose OF
interviewing any former soldier,
sailor or marine, who has any reason
to believe that he has been handi-
capped in following his former oc-
cupatlon by any wound or disease in
CURED in service. If there is any
reason to believe that man is back
ward in presenting his claims, as is
often the case, relatives and friends
are requested to urge him to put in
his claim. Uncle Sam is very anxious
to serve him both because it is
a benefit to the man and profitable
investment for the government.
The government is not confining
itself to the old methods of education
in taking care of the man who pro-
tected it in time of peril, but is COM
bin;ng the theoretical with the prac-
teal For instance, a man may wish
to take up the study of law. This is
almost entirely matter of schooling.
Again, man may wish certain po-
sition with an electrical concern. For
this it may be necessary to give him
some schooling and afterwards train
him in the electrical concern itself.
Or, it is possible that nothing more
is necessary than placing the man,
for example, in a machine shop,
where he will. learn the trade under
the direct supervision of practical
men. In all three of the cases men
toned the government pays single
men $50 a month and married men
500 month until the training is
completed. Further information may
be obtained at the local Red Cross.

Drummer Tells of Montana
A drummer who came down from
Montana Saturday said that Montana
is dry in more ways than one, and
that in Butte City, where the payroll
is only about so per cent Of normal,
merchants are feeling good, and say
business is normal excepting in GER
tain lines connected with the new
dry" spell arising from legislation.
He said that the manager Of
large department store in Butte told
him that business is actually normal
when the payroll is only half what 1t
was. He accounted for 1t by reason
of the large volume of wages that
used to be spent for booze now be-
ing spent for merchandise OF the
kinds that people eat and wear or
build something useful with.

The forest fire menace is being
fought by education. Federal and
state governments are endeavoring
to gain the cooperation of the public
in reducing the enormous losses
caused annually by these fires, most
of which are avoidable.
The Pennsylvania department OF
forestry has issued set of rules to
encourage preventative measures
which are predicated upon statistics
gathered over long period of years
and covering the most common
causes of these CONGREGATIONS.
Unthinking shooters and campers
are old offenders in this regard, an
unusually large proportion of fires
being traceable to their carelessness.
The rules given below cover the more
important measures to be followed IN
preventing fires and include the
various classes of persons by occupa-
ton who are in a position to reduce
the forest fire losses by increasing
vigilance
