sources.

councils will sit on the board Of the
National Social Unit. and six members
Of the Social Unit Board already have
been elected to the board Of the com.
munity councils. These are:

editorial chair of the Arco Advertiser
after a years absence with the
colors. This Is the third time he has
been at the helm in ten years. He
came here and worked on the paper

the war came on. He sold out, broke
u phis home and joined the colors,
came back and hired out to work

SHELLEY COMING
TO THE FRONT
Northern Village Will
Show Folks Some
Improvement
WILL FIX ROADS

Professor J. A.. Langton, superin
tendent of the Shelley schools anG
of the Shelley Commercial club Wa.
In Blackfoot Saturday attending the
teachers institute, and said Shelley
Is still on the map and going tc
stamp itself on still more plainly.
Mr.. Langton stated that Shelley
people are very emphatically for the
road bonds, and besides that they are
planning for some street paving on
their own account. Where men get
together and talk, they are for road
bonds and street improvement, and
where women>get together they are
for cleanup day for the town, and
in favor of doing some substantial
work in the way of grading, filling up
holes and removing stones and other
debris. A good many people are
advancing the doctrine that people
love their town more when they have
done something for it in free service;
that the person who does not love
his town is generally the one who
has never done anything for it ex-
cepting when he was paid for it,,
ihOy dio IdlhluS VI having Ir0G-
for all day, when several hundred
men and most of the youth of the
town shall get out and do days
work free and thereby make the town
more lovable.
Shelley has live commercial club
of about $50 members and more men
joining all the while. He thinks
they will have 175 members by the
next meeting, which is this Tues
day evening. He says that when peo-
pie talk roads they generally indi-
cate that the roads carrying the
heaviest traffic should be the first
to be surfaced. He believes the
Shelley people are going to vote for
bonds and go on about their affairs
and then when they find some new
roads where they can travel them,
they will ride that way and see how
they like it. If it doesn't lead ex-
actly where it would suit them best, |
they will rejoice that it suits lot
Of other people best and that their
turn will come all the sooner on the
principal of turn about.

THERE ARE GOOD
ROADS in FRANCE
Built From Crushed
Rock of a Coarse
Grain Mostly
LASTED THRU WAR

European countries have ALWAYS
been noted for their roads, which
of course were a source of revenue
to them, inasmuch as they helped
the tourist business. You can mo-
! tor almost anywhere in France.
Ihere is system of highways con-
meeting all the large cities and CIV
Ing good traffic between the pro-
vinces. These roads are built with
crushed rock, mostly coarse, the size
OF nut coal, and even during war
times seem never to have gotten
much torn up. They are we'll rounded
so as to drain, and are usuallys
bordered by rows of trees. These
roads are attended to by the pro-
vinces as a whole.
fach province, or county, has be-
sides an intricate system of road
ways, some good and some not very
good, yet plenty Of them, so that IL
one is acquainted with them he can
PICK good road in any weather.
These roads are taken care of bv a
county service paid for by the county
taxes: During the war they were al
lowed to fall in disrepair, but no
sooner had the armistice brought re-
lief from the great burden than the
road members were out on the Job.
Almost anywhere. in western and
southern France anyway, one will
see at intervals along the roads. lit
tie neat piles of gray crushed rock.
Just the road makers had left
them. If any piece of the road gets
broken or wears out thew come
along and smooth it out with the
nearest material. This rock comes
from the quarries that are every-
where, the whole country being
underlaid with hard gray lime
stone. On the large highways thew
use some fine crushed rock over
the coarse and roll it down with
steam rollers, but on the country
roads the traffic hammers it down
we'll enough.

BINGHAM TEACHERS
Good Meeting Saturday
With Large and Inter-
ested Attendance
FINE PROGRAM

At meeting of the Bingham
County Teachers association held il
the Blackfoot high school Saturda,
morning, March 8, quite a salts
factory number Of teachers showed
the right professional spirit by theil
attendance and attention.
First on the program was the pri
mary demonstration carried out very
ably by Mrs. Ruth Ragan of the pri.
mary department of the Fort Hall
public school.
On account of the extremely bad
condition of roads, the little people
who were called upon to make up
Mrs. Ragan's class were a. little late
but Mrs. Ragan overcame this diff
ficulty by starting her work with
twelve teachers who volunteered to
act as pupils until the real pupils
arrived.
The demonstration showed great
skill in presenting the different
phases of her work with beginners
| and many of the younger teachers
especially, found much that will as
sist them in their work, while those
who have been longer in the profess
sion, expressed great satisfaction in
1ndlng new ways of presenting the
first work to pupils.
The general association meeting
was held in the high school audi
torium with Superintendent James A.
Langton of Shelley, president of Ahe
association, presiding.
The session was opened by the
singing of america"
A very excellent and interesting
discourse on boys and girls club
work was given by James Jensen of
Shelley. Mr.. Jensen mentioned the
results of last years club work and
gave forecast of the plans for the
ensuing year. Great interest was
shown in this phase of our educa-
tional work.
THE Weaknesses of our Educa-
t1onal System as Revealed by the
War" was ably discussed by Mel
vim Ison of the Goshen schools.
Superintendent Langton then
pointed out the Strength of Our
Educational System as Revealed by |
the War" proving to the assembly |
that, tho the educational profession
has weak spots it also has its strong
ones. ..
After these very vital discussions
were" ended those present were
favored by two well rendered vocal
selections, sung by Misses Anna Bur-
ggraff and Maud Turman of the
Blackfoot city schools.
This was followed by William
of Moreland on the subject
How to Train Boys and Girls for
and the excellent man.
ner in which he handled the subject
gave evidence of the deep thought
and concern of the speaker.
A short business session ended the
meeting, which was considered very
beneficial by those in attendance.

BECOMING AN EXPERT

The after the war increase in the
automobile and tractor business and
the consequent demand for trained
mechanics is causing a number of
local young men to enter this line

course of training in motor me-
chanics in the National Automobile
school Of Los Angeles, Cal. When
he~finishes he expects to return and

BASKET BALL
GAME AT POCATELLO

The boys Blackfoot basket ball
team played the Pocatlelo boys at
Pocatello Friday night, and after a
hard fight and interesting game they
were defeated by three points, the
final score beingN52 to 40. The boys
all did their level best to win the
victory for Blackfoot and felt rather
blue and discouraged when they were
defeated, but they took the loss like
good sports, as usual.
The boys went on thru Saturday
morning to Dillon for a game that
was scheduled there.
American Falls girls played the
Pocoatllo girls at Pocatello the same
night and much to their disappoint-
ment were also defeated with the
final figures reading 5 to 3. The
girls held each other down good all
thru and the game was very interest
ing.
The fact that this game was
double header enticed many Black
foot rooters to go down for the even
ing and everyone thoroly enjoyed the
time spent there. ..

ALL MEASURES FAILED

The bills heretofore introduced in
congress for the federal building at
Blackfoot and other places and for
reclamation of arid and swamp lands
including the Dubois project, were
drowned in the food of legislation
that went down in the whirlpool of
disagreements and political up
heavals of the closing days Of the last
session.
When congress again convenes it
will be organized by the Republicans
and they will have power TO control
legislation, and a Democrat president
will have the final word of approval
or veto. The same measures will be
again introduced and in the mean
time, preliminaries can be proceed
ing actual operations, for it is only
a matter Of time until they will be
undertaken.

SLIGHT LULL in PROJECT WORK

Owing to the fact that the bill fol-
the big appropriation failed for en-
actment in the closing days of the
laet session Of congress, the Meyers
bill, usually spoken of as the Lanes
measure, failed of enactment it is
likely that work on the Dubois pro-
ject will be held up on that account
until the measure can be introduced
again and enacted.
It Is possible to have this done in
June in the proposed special session
of congress. In the meantime 1t is not
expected that preliminaries on the
Dubois project will be at stand
still and a meeting Of the Idaho Re-
clamation association at Pocatello
Monday, March 10 was held for the
purpose Of forming plans to keep the
work Of the several big Idaho pro-
jects progressing.

FEDERAL BUILDING NEWS

The appropriation bill providing
money for many federal buildings,
including the one for Blackfoot,
failed for enactment, but the work
will be taken up again at the special
session of congress and it is only a
matter, of time until the appropria-
ton will be made. In the mean time
Blackfoot people have agreed upon
the site and are taking steps to have
1t adopted and to have the work pro-
gress as rapidly as possible after the
appropriation is made.

Where the Money Will go
In expending this bond money
