BISHOP ALEXANDER

IT. J. Lacey's Parish Notes.
Bishop Alexander Of Rodostoos is
..' ~ charge Of the Greek church
n yhc United States as representative
f lhu holy synod o. Athens. Pen ~
|cnstantinople. he was educated in tho
Theo,o@.ca seminary At Halkt aal c.
da;n d by the Ecumcnicai patriarch.
He takes his episcopal title from an
ancient see of the church, Rcdostolcs.

more.
Greeks are settling everywhere. A
missionary in Wyoming sends his
church notices in modem Greek be-
cause the population is largely made
up of Greek miners.
Our boot blacks, florists, confection-
ors, restaurant keepers, walters ale
recruited from the sons of Hellas. We
have our shoes shincd at the parlor of
Aristo Alexander We buy our candy
from Cardasis in spite of the fact that
PIato's republic placed the ban or
Athenian confections. The Fair pa
per carries the advertisement of An
argeros the florist. When our hospi-
tality committee entertained Roose-
velt's pastor we went right out to our
Greek friend GiannokouroS of the
Long Island Rotisserie.
There is long tradition of friendli-
ness b-twccH Greeks and Americans
as one says:
at was from America that Hellas
received the first official encourage
ment in the dark days of her struggle
for independence in 1921, and it was
from America. that the only official
message of sympathy was extended to
Athens at the time of the unfortunate
war Of 1897 against the Turk. 1t was
Athens again who reciprocated in 1898
in wishing victory to the American
arms against Spain"

GE'G GFF TIE SUCKER LIST

bra yea on The SUCKER list?
II you are it is probably because YOU
are MOI sucker bat . patriotic citi-
zen who las known the liberty bond
to he a good thing.
Cet-ricil-qu;cIl swindles have been
the great American sport for wears.
TIE sh2 pars who sell fako stocks saw
their game endangered when Uncle
Sam started his great liberty loan
campaigns.
But they are snart-these gentle
men who live by their wits.
Instead of complaining they jumped
I'M and put themselves and all their
employees to work selling liberty
bonds.
And they kept lists of the names of
The people to whom bonds were sold
Now those lists, combined, make
what the sharks regard as the biggest
and best Sucker list" the gentry ever
had. They are dealing in them-buy-
ing and selling them among them
selves.
If you have liberty bond or book

"prospect" for fake stock. Your name
is, on the sucker list of the oily-tong-
ued sharper
You are not to blame for being on
tHe sucker list but it is up to you to
get off-away off-that list at your
fist opportunity.
The American people are paying out
some half billion dollars a year to
the support of worthless stock
schemes. They reap therefrom $780,
100000 worth of-thin air.
That is not a guess. 1t is the figure
given by the Capital Issues committee
Of the U. S. treasury. And the COM
mittee assures US that it is conserva-
tive.
Moreover, the half billion represents
just the cold cash that is turned in

searching inquiry into the devious by
ways of fraudulent stock promotion.
Its conclusion is that never'perhaps, in.
the history of the country has wild
cat investment practice been so fla
grant-from coast to coast-as today.
AS a result of the governments
great war loan campaigns, there are
now hundreds of thousands of Ameri-
cans converted to the idea of saving
and investing. With very great pro-
portion, their investment experience is
limited to the good, rock-bottom gov
eminent war bond.
: The fakir is after them. Thousands
of "stlesmen" carefully drilled in the

and getting out of town, are abroad.
They will tell you you were a pa

liberty bonds. However. you've made

your bonds for this exceptional offer

worthless stuff.
Happily there is government
agency today on the trail of the stock

mission, empowered by congress to
prevent unfair methods of competition

on the fleeing of Americans of their

July rs until the armistice, Sgt. Tai
bot was at the front continuously. He
arrived in the states July 81 and
came to Blackfoot August 81.
At the end of his months leave
he will go back to training camp
at New York and enter the quarter
masters corps. Sgt. Talbot is now
rated as a. machinist, but his desire
is to complete his course and thereby
be an expert at the TRADE which he
is striving to master.

feast is free. The more you eat the
more it will make the committee
glad. Beautiful maidens are being
sought from near and far to serve
this delicious repast. He who is not
hungry will eat anyway, and, be- a
good sport.
All service men will bear marks
of Identification, if they do not have
their uniforms on, so that the various
gatekeepers may know them and pass
them in free to everything The SER
vice men are the chief guests of the
festival. Blackfoot hopes they will
drift in from everywhere and make
themselves at home.
1t will be such celebration as
the west knows we'll, full of broad
cheer, exciting entertainments, and
happy-go-lucky jostling among
friends and neighbors who have been
busy all summer long doing their
duty on the farm and in the shop.
Such celebration as will in time
come to be only talked about, when
cattle are herded by airplane and
sheep by automobile, the horse will
be extinct and riders no longer
trained to the rope, when the o. D.
veterans Of the world war will be
old, and Indian feathers and blank
cts forever discarded. We hate to
see that tame day coming, and that is
why we go in for the good old fun
of the pioneer kind, the strictly
western roundup.

NOTICE OF SCHOOL LAW

To all parents and guardians:
Under the compulsory school law
Of Idaho it is misdemeanor to keep
any child who has not passed the
eighth grade, out of school, without
a permit from the county superin-
tendent Of schools. and 1t is my duty
to see that this law is enforced.
Last year on account of the in
fiuenza epidemic all children lost
many weeks of school work, SO it is
doubly necessary that every child
be in school on the first day Of the
term, and remain thruout the entire
school year.
1t is time determined stand was
taken to enforce the compulsory
school law, as the percentage Of IL
literates shown among the young
men of draft age during the late war
was certainly an object lesson, not
to be overlooked by either parents,
guardians or officials.
II I am asking for the earnest CO.
operation Of all parents and guard
ians in this most necessary matter.

adv. 7-2f Probation Officer.

To Avoid Accidents
During Celebration

Keep out of the crowds as much
as you can with vehicles. Leave that
part of town and the grounds as
much as possible to people afoot.
Look out for the safety OF the
Riddles and the babies in the baby
carriages. Sometimes body walks
on looking backwards and falls over
baby carriage. The mothers are
kept in constant fear of this, and
you are appointed to prevent it.
Park cars at the sides of the street,
but not near the corners nor water
hydrants nor in front Of the City
Hall.
Drive your car on low gear or in
termediate so you can control it
better. Somebody is liable to step
in front Of 1t anywhere. Have your
foot on the brake all the time.
Turn only at street corners. Do
not turn there without looking back
to see if the way is clear. When
turning a corner, make big curve
around the street center just the
same as II there was a post there.
Pedestrians, (people afoot) should
not cross the streets excepting at
corners, and then should go squarely
across. and not run. People who
run and dodge are most often in
jured. Walk briskly and give driv-
ers a chance to allow for your move
ments. Stopping, lodging, turning
back, and running are more danger
GUS than walking or standing still.
Don't lose your head.
Don't bunch up on the walks any
where. Don't walk three or four
If you want to talk, turn
and walk with your friend or back
up against wall. . ~,
Take the right side of the street
whether 1t is crowded or not. II
there is jam, keep to the right and
keep trying. Others will join, and
order will come.
Don't merely try to observe the
rules and the laws, try to avoid ac-
,idents and troubling others. Rules
Ind laws are merely made to help
you to keep safe.
IL you lose anything, report to an |
,fficer, the city hall, the sheriff of |
rhe Republican office. II you find |
