Representative Smith
Returns From Europe

Representative Addison T. Smith
returned to. Washington Sunday,
after a months visit to war stricken
France and Belgium, where he
studied foreign politics and polite
ians.
Mr.. Smith learned that the Second
Idaho regiment will be retained in
France after the first of July. The
thousands of American soldiers now
in Europe are anxious to return
home, but some of them expressed a
desire to re-enlist If they could have
some assurance that they would not
be retained in or returned to Europe.
Representative Smith was greatly
impressed with the spirit the Bel
gians have toward America. Even
the little children look upon Ameri-
cans with affection and never miss
an opportunity to pour forth their
appreciation and gratitude, Mr..
Smith reports.
Representative French returned
with Representative Smith and has
at the conclusion that there
is no necessity for the United States
to maintain large army. He thinks
100000 at the outside would be
ample.

Advertising Man Re-
calls Household SLOGAN

Louis D. Erwin, an ADVERTISING
salesman from Denver, who sells
merchants certain lines of copy
!or use in newspapers, was in Black
root Saturday and Sunday, visiting
whlie here his sister, Mrs. C.. w.
Speaking of the well tried truth
that advertising must be sustained to
have permanent value, Mr.. Erwin
spoke Of "Sapolio," word that used
to mean household cleanser in a
general way. Anything that one
secured with was "Sapolio," and
Spot1ess Town was indeed famed
from one end of America to the
other. Where is Spotless Town
now?
"The sapolio people were among
the first to spend enormous sums of
money annually for advertising"
said Mr.. Erwin, "and in several years
they spent several millions of dollars
and the name Of their article was on
the tip OF everybody's tongue. Then
they decided to rest on the impetus
they had worked up. They stopped
advertising. Before a year was up
the directors Of the Sapolio company
were called together because the
business had begun to go to pieces.
They opened another campaign of
advertising, but were too late. Al
number OF other cleansers had
sprung up on the market, and il you
ask anybody to name a household
cleanser today, 1t will invariably be
Dutch Cleanser" or "Bon-ami.

Open Contest for State
Tuberculosis Hospital

Under house bill No. 1T the gov.
ernor had authority to appoint a
commission to organize the fight
against tuberculosis in Idaho, and
did appoint one, of which Mrs. J. o,
Athey Of Boise has been elected
president.
The state tuberculosis commission
Is authorized by the bill to "accept
In the name of the state a grant or

hands of ]. K. White, state commits
sioner Of public welfare, before June
30, according to an announcement
which has just been made by Mrs.
J. 0. Athey, president of the state
commission.
Several propositions of unusual
merit already have been placed be-
rore the commission" said Mrs.
Athey, but I feel sure that there
still are many communities which
desire to have their offers consid-
cred. Members of the board have
been more than gratified by the evil
dent public-spiritedness which has
several cities and towns
to respond as generously as they
have"
The hospital sites will not be To-
Gated until after July l.

DOING WELL IN RExBURG

H. A. Roemisch, formerly of
Blackfoot, but now doing a nice
building business in Rexburg, was in
town Monday on several business
matters. Mr.. Rpemisch was with
Dahle and Eccles in constructing the
Eccles hotel and the Idaho Repuhli-
can print shop, which latter work of
his hand he looked over carefully
and pronounced it in good condi-
ton. Mr.. Roemisch looks like a re-
tired rich farmer, one Of those rug
ged millionaires who spend their
winters in California. He is a
skilled workman who loves his work
and takes human interest in build
ings and furniture, and his reward
is coming to him after long period
Of faithful toll.

DEBT THAT CALLS
FOR WILLING PAY
A Message Appealing
for the Support of
Victory Loan
is AN INVITATION

In an editorial appeal to its read.
ers the Literary Digest of April 26
carries a message regarding the
Victory loan that surely reaches
home and this magazine is one OF
our most truly national works of
journalism.
Here are the opening paragraphs,
done with an eloquence born of those
tempestuous times just past:
AT this time when prayers of
gratitude and devout THANKSGIVING
are on the lips of millions of moth
ers of America, when each day thou
sands of our boys are being returned
to the arms of those who so love
them, when each city, each village,
is echoing with cheers for its heroes
at such time it is peculiarly fit
ting that we should be called upon
to help pay the price of the victories
and the triumphs that our sons have
achieved.
I'VE are now asked to subscribe
to the glorious Victory loan. Asked
to subscribe? No, let us rather say
that we have been invited to share
the opportunity and honor of SUBJ
scribing. What man is there worthy
OF the title Of manhood, who did not
yearn to stand shoulder to shoulder
with our splendid boys who fought
those memorable, those bitter and
bloody battles at St. Quentin, Cam
brai and st. Souplet; at St. Mihiel.
Chateau-Thierry and in the Argonne
Forest? What man is there who will
not covet the honor of paying in
money for the victories that our boys
bought with their own life's blood |
"Oh, how little have we done, how
little can we do to repay those who
nave suffered and died for us, those
brave sailor lads who kept grim
watch on ocean lanes, themselves in
constant peril from the marauding
murderers of the sea; those other
lads, who went into the hell of battle
with smile on their lips, who were
shot to pieces, scared by poison-gas,
burned with liquid flames, wrenched
soul from body by bursting shells,
killed by the flying scythe of steel,
frozen in the icy waters of the
trenches, drowned like rats in the
bogs of Flanders, who fought and
bled and died until the cemeteries
behind the lines grew to forests of
white crosses"

Soldiers Association
For Bingham County
Not Enough Attended Sunday After.
IL. noon Meetin gto Take Any
Definite Steps


A small representation Of the pro-
posed world war veterans associa-
tion for Bingham county met at the
K. of P. hall Sunday afternoon; but
the beauty Of the day and the open
ing of spring sports stood in the way
OF a satisfactory attendance.
1t was decided by the few on hand
that next Monday evening should be
set aside as an organizing date, at
which time officers will be elected
and several lines of activity dis
cussed. The X. Of P. hall will be
used.
There are number of community
sports and amusements in which
such an organization as this might
be the guiding spirit. Some day, too,
there will be need of a hall of the
associations very own for dances,
parties and meetings.
1t is estimated roughly that Bing-
ham county should have a member
ship of 1000, and that many men
could make several things hum. A
dance will possibly be one of the
first activities of the new. organiza-
tion.
The world war veterans are being
organized. A national
convention has already been sched-
lled for early in June. Each local
club may be known as "dugout",
according to a suggestion that seems
% meet with favor.
Under the constitution of the Po-
'atello lodge the members pledge
themselves to encourage the younger
'oys to keep themselves fit and
eady for service should there be a
all at any time. If the Bingham
lub works along this line gymnas-
um and athletic privileges may be
urnished to young men by an open
membership plan who were too
oung to enter the army or navy in
he late war.

with license and ring. She arrived
on the afternoon train and was mar
ried before supper. The two Salt
Lake City couples, it is said, ran
away contrary to some Of their
guardians wishes, but all is fair sail

Community Park
For West Blackfoot

Arrangements have been made to
park triangle of ground in the
west side residence section of Black
loot, opposite the Taylor home and
at the intersection of what would be
West Court street and the Bridge
road, Is streets were named for sug-
gestive convenience. This place of
leftover ground will be planted to
trees and shrubbery right now in this
wonderful growing spell that is upon
all nature.
The neighborly community pro-
noting this little enterprise will fol-
low natures teaching by planting
Things In clusters or crowds, some
thing like this: a clump of trees
closely planted in one place; a bunch
of shrubbery in another; a tuft of
smaller perennials in another, and
later on there may be pretty trellis
or pergola, with vines and roses run
ming all over it at will.
In this triangle park all straight
lines will be avoided. They will be
left to the residence streets, where
a street outline is necessary. This
arrangement will present happy
little surprise to travellers who are
always hunting up the unusual and
interesting spots in towns they visit.
1t will also add very worthy and
pleasing note to that section of town,
which Is rapidly becoming a valuable
home-building section.
Now the Bridge road will be prop
erly located and made ready for
permancy. since we are to do real
country road building, and it is a
main thorofare. How happy we will |
all be to travel over good roads, to |
visit substantial farming communit-
les easily, and to pass pretty COM
munity parks on the way!-Mrs.

FINEST HARDWARE STORE IN IDAHO To RE
ERECTED ON BRIDGE STREET This SEASON
Neil F: Boyle Has Accepted Plans For New Build.
ing New Office and Store Building
Planned By 4. B. Dore
WILL MOVE INTO Bull DING in NOVEMBER

Plans for new brick store with
nfty-foot front on Bridge street be-
tween Main and Broadway have been
accepted by Neil F. Boyle, of the
Neil F. Boyle Hardware company.
and work will be commenced on the
excavation on or before May 20, at
which time the present tenants will
have moved out.
The architect, Frank Paradice of
Pocatello, who planned this build
ing on uniquely modern lines, is we'll
known in Blackfoot by his other good
works, for he is responsible for plans
OF the post office building, the First
National bank building, the Kennedy
apartments, the Boyle Hardware
company building in Pocatello. and
also at Firth. Final ARRANGEMENTS
between the architect and Mr.. Bowie
FOR what will be Blackfoot's most
to-the-minute store, were made
IN Salt Lake City early last week.
When completed, the new home of
the Neil F. Boyle Hardware company
Will excel any in Idaho, according
to men qualified to judge. One fea-
lure alone, roof over a space SO by
10 feet unsupported by posts or pill
lars, tho greatly adding to the total
cost, goes beyond the best that Salt
Lake City has in the hardware store
line.
The Dore Corner
4 l.. B. Dore, who has for years been
proprietor of the Central meat mar
ket on Bridge and Broadway, with
MS two sons, George F. and Arthur.
will decide this week upon plans for
tWo-story office and store build
ing, to join the Boyle store on one
side and run to the corner, so that
the two new buildings will take up
the whole block from the alley to
Broadway. Mr.. Dore will reserve
he store next the corner for his
neat market. George Dore spent
saturday evening and Sunday in Salt
lake City comforting with an archi-
ect on plans for this structure.
These two buildings will be !
matched as to general style and no
expense is to be spared in making 9
hem better and more modern than !
