CELEBRATE SEVENTY
FIFTH ANNIVERSARY
Young Mems Christian Association
Established June 6, 1874, by
:. Twelve Young Christians E.
MEMBERSHIP REACHES 700, 900

The Young Mems Christian as
sociation celebrates its seventy-fifth
anniversary on June 6. On that date
in 1874 Sir George Williams, then
young drygoods clerk in London,
gathered about him a group Of
twelve earnest young Christian men
and started the organization. It was
formed to meet the immediate need
among the clerks in the store. From
this humble beginning, it has how
ever spread thruout the world. 1t
has $500 branches in North America
alone, with a membership of over
100000. 1t has active organizations
with modern equipment, in China,
Japan, the Philippines and India.
These buildings are crowded with
young men anxious to learn Ameri-
can ways thru this agency. The as
sociation has been ready to respond
to every emergency for serving men.
1t had 200 tents in the Spanish
American war. When the troops
were sent to the Mexican border, the
association huts were among the
first buildings erected in camp. AS
a part of it's program in the great
world war, it had organized groups
at $500 different points; 1900 of
these were with the American army
in France; 1900 with the French
troops; $50 with the Italian troops;
100 with the British, Canadian and
Australian forces and more than 600
huts in the training camps in
America. Its principles and methods
have proven universal in the appli-
cation. 1t stands for the four-fold
work for men and boys, namely, the
development of the social, educa-
tional, physical and religious life.
1t is primarily a layman's movement
and is managed by groups of re-
sponsible business men.

Highest Cost of Living
Recited at Chautauqua

That bread was selling for $12 a
loaf in Russia, brown -four at $3.50
a sack of SO pounds, and that as a
result famine was stalking abroad
is the story brought to America by
DR.. Joseph Glare, pastor of the Brit
ish-America church in Petrograd,
who is to lecture at chautauqua on
the opening night.
Few men of our race had the op-
portunity to witness the changing
scenes in Russia as closeup as DR..
Clare, whose years of residence in
ograd brought him into intimate
touch with the leading figures of the
royal regime and of the later revo-
lutionary period. His stories Of the
late Czarina and Of the monk Ras-
putin, of Kerensky. Of Lenine and
rotzky, enable one to understand
a great deal clearer the underlying
motives of the great uprising of the
people.

Grain Crops Saved
by Recent Rainfall

Dry farms in Utah and Idaho have
benefited immeasurably thru the re.
cent heavy rains, according to David
Roins, president of the Utah-Idaho
Grain exchange, who has returned
from a trip to Idaho Falls. As far
as Idaho Falls, he says. the rain
has saved the dry farm crops, but
beyond that point the rains have not
reached and farms are still suffering
from drouth. ,~a
According to reports received by
Mr.. Robbins on his tour, no serious
damage was done to vegetables and
fruits by the cold altho some locali-
ties suffered somewhat. /
Utah is now we'll out of danger
so far as further crop damage due
to the recent cold is concerned, ac-
cording to J. Cecil Alter OF the Salt
Lake weather bureau station. Yes
terday he announced the cold wave
had passed over the state and had
caught Wyoming in it's grip. Fair
and warmer" is the prediction of
Mr.. Alter for today" ' afEe}
Further reports Of the damage
reached the local Office yesterday
showing that vegetables in the Mid
vale vicinity suffered most. No dam
age was done to fruits in any part
of the state, according to the re-
ports.

curing the new obligation. They
want to know whether the correct
legal procedure has been followed in
voting the bonds, SO that the validity
OF the transaction can not be sue

Bonds That Do Not Sell
For the past six or eight years
irrigation bonds have been in dis
repute. Irrigation district bonds
have been under the ban and road
district bonds have given trouble to
Investors. In Bingham county's
bond sale and in the transactions
leading up to the bond election and
sale, the Objectionable features con-
nected with the various kinds of
bonds, were missing, and the good
features of bonds were in evidence.

expended for road improvement to
connect these agricultural units with
transportation lines and that adds
to the value of the investment and
the security of the loan.
People We're Unanimous
The people of the county were al
most unanimous in their support of
the bond election and by 90 per cent
of the votes in favor of the bond
sale, the procedure leading up to the
election and leading up to the bond
sale was regular and legal, and the
corporate attorneys who studied the
whole procedure could find no fault
with it. The words irrigation

to discredit the transaction. They
were everywhere described as "a

CAREFUL ACTION BY COUNTY OFFICIALS
PROMPTED SPLENDID ROAD BOND SALE
Unusual Abstract Prepared and Placed in Hands
of Bond Buyers Brought More Premium
and Lower Interest Rate
BEST ROAD BOND SALE in GEM STATE

Bingham county's road bond sale
last Monday was record breaker
in Idaho and the people of Bingham
county have reason to rejoice not
only over the amount of money
brought by the sale, but over the
acts of it's public officials, and the
resources and good conditions in the
county that were responsible for the
high price paid for the bonds.
= The people of Bingham county
have felt much anxiety over the
large Indebtedness that is about to
be created for road improvement,
and at this stage of the transaction
they have much assurance that mat
ters are going well.
Low Rate Of Interest
It was hardly expected that our
bonds could be sold on rate of
interest as low as 5 per cent. It
was expected the rate might be as
high as 51a or per cent, but at
that rate they should command com
siderable PREMIUM! Contrary to ell
expectations or hopes the interest

the amount of premium went up
$3.50. This is the best sale that
has been made by any county in the
state and the people of Bingham
have reason to rejoice in being the
banner county of Idaho in floating
road bonds. et
A delightful inquiry into the rea-
son for receiving the high price for
bonds was an interesting study and
resolved itself into the following:
Bond Buyers Must Know

Frost Killed Early
Dry Farm Wheat

The frosts of Friday and Saturday
nights, Of last week, after the ex-
tremely hot wave, killed the entire
crop Of early wheat in the dry farm
belts thru the Taber country. The
wheat that was headed and in the
boot is a total loss, but for the use
of hay; the later wheat is standing
D and looking hardy. = That part
of the crop was unharmed.
Some Of the. settlers have turned
their horses into the frozen fields to
pasture and they claim that after it
is eaten off by the horses, and we
get some good summer showers, it
probably make a late second
crop.

HARDWARE EXCA-
WALTON STARTED
Neil F. Boyle Going in
for Hardware Home
... That is Better
THING OF BEAUTY

After the removal of the frame
buildings on the site chosen by the
Neil F. Boyle Hardware company,
for the erection of their modern
hardware store on Bridge street, ex-
cavation work commenced Monday.
Teams and scrapers are removing
many tons of dirt every day, for the
basement and some lumber has al
ready been hauled on the ground.
Building Will Excel
Mr.. Boyle is determined to make
of his new store q model in it's kind.
He has ordered the best of fixtures,
cases, mirrors and finishing mater
ials. When completed, 4 the new
home will excel any in Idaho, in
size as we'll as modernity and COM
pleteness. One feature alone, a roof
over space 50x125 feet unsupported
by posts or pillars, tho greatly add
ing to the total cost, goes beyond
the best that Salt Lake City has in
the hardware store line.
Fanned for Convenience
This store will be the first in
BlackfoOt to have the "upstairs''
show windows. Plans have been
made for the ceiling to be nineteen
feet high and balcony ten feet from
the floor will run entirely around
the building. At the rear. on this
balcony, are to be private offices,
vault and women's rest room. In
front the balcony serves as show
window, with floor slanted and large
plate-glass windows, so that the dis
play can be studied from across the
street. The main floor, free from
roof supports, remains all open. 1t
will haye long rows of show cases,
and be divided into speciaF depart
ments. A large basement under
meath the floor will serve to store the
surplus stock and possibly be used
for a SaleS-rOom for certain hard
ware goods. An electric elevator
will communicate between the main
floor and basement.
The Attractive Front
Running the length Of the roof
large sky-lights will illuminate the
entire store. The front of the store
is to be especially attractive. Mr..
Boyle states, that on account of their
so often remodeling in large cities,
instead of building separately, it is
seldom hardware store has such a
front as particular planning would
give, and that he is making of his
new building front one of the most
attractive in the inter-mountain re-
giOn.
