Reasons for the
Home Service Drive

1. To provide adequate funds for
all the Salvation Army activities for
one year, including the erection of
buildings that are absolutely neces-
sary.
2. To do away with soliciting by
officers of the Salvation Army dur
ing the year and thus enable them
to devote all their time to service
work proper instead Of spending 25
to SO per cent Of their time raising
money by personal solicitation.
81 The home service work of the
Salvation Army has suffered greatly
during the war. This special effort
is absolutely necessary to reinstate
the army in sound financial condi-
tion to undertake all its home SER
vice obligations for one year. -
A. The income of the Salvation
Army in past years has not been
nearly adequate to meet all the home
service needs. This effort will pro-
vide all the money needed thruout
Idaho to give complete and efficient
service to the public.

Organize County for
Salvation Army Drive
Frank DeKay Appointed Campaign
Manager; City and County
Divided Into Districts
WEEK OF SEPTEMBER - TO 20

All Of the Salvation Army COM
mittee gathered at the Eccles hotel
at noon Saturday for lunch and to
discuss together the plans for "Op-
portunity week" for the Salvation
Army, which opens here September
% and continues for one week.
Frank DeKay Sr. was appointed
campaign manager The city was
divided into four districts and the
county also districted. Each dis
trict will be provided with colonel
and each colonel has four captains,
who will select their own helpers.
Opportunity Week"s for the Sal
vation Army is put on to raise funds
for the association, who are trying
to build up their depleted treasury
which was brought to such a state
during the war when they took all
their available funds and mortgaged
their American property besides, to
furnish cheer and comfort to our
soldier lads, from the many huts
they had established near the
trenches-just as near the trenches
in France and Belgium as they were
permitted to go.
Bingham county has all next
week, from September 20 to 29 in
elusive, to put the drive over for our
county and we're going to do it.

WHAT TO DO WITH
THE FAIRGROUNDS
Has Been Proved That
Grounds are Valu-
able for Sports
CITIZENS SPEAK

Now. that the festival and round
up have been put on SO successfully
and the public have shown their ap-
probation of period of festivities
at the close of the growing season,
there is strong sentiment against
allowing the fairgrounds to be sold
to anyone who will cut it up and
build on it, There is growing con-
viction that the grounds should be
preserved for amusements, not
merely for the town or the county,
but it is taking on wider scope in
it's territorial meaning, for there
seems to be- nothing like it between
Cheyenne and Walla Walla for ex-
hibiting, the frntier attractions.
Blackfoot is at the center Of things
representing things of the frontier
and the early days of stockraising
and early settlement ,and it has Pc
culiar advantages putting on the
class of amusements that the present
and the rising generation find it the
most difficult to get.
The fairgrounds will be offered
for sale in few days, and a good
many suggestions are being made as
to what might better be done with
them. We publish few Of them:
Mr.. F. E. DeKay: Trim off some
of the grounds at the upper end
where the old stables and hog yards
were, sell the municipal skating rink
to the city, and use' the money to
buy up the stock now being held by
individuals who cannot afford to

Caribou Forest
Lands Restored
Areas In Southeastern Idaho and
Western Wyoming Made Subject
to Homestead Entry
OF VALUE AS GRAZING LANDS

WASHINGTON, Sept. 12.-Upon
the recommendation of Secretary of
the Interior Lane and Secretary of
Agriculture Houston the president
has signed a proclamation excluding
certain areas from the Caribou ma
tional forest in southeastern Idaho
and western Wyoming and restoring
the public lands within such areas
to homestead entry in advance of
settlement or other forms of dispo-
sition.
Such lands will become subject to
entry only under the homestead laws
requiring residence at and after 8
a. m. October 13, and to settlement
or other forms of disposition on and
after October 20 at the United States
land Offices at Blackfoot for the
Idaho lands and at Evanston for the
Wyoming lands.
Tie restored lands aggregate 1894
acres, in scattered tracts in Bonne-
vile and Caribou counties, Idaho and
Lincoln county, Wyo., about 1892
acres of which are withdrawn for
phosphate reserves, subject to sur
face entry only, the phosphate be-
ing reserved to the United States.
The restored lands are reported to
be generally grazing land and por-
tion thereof to have some agricul-
tural value.

FIRE PREVENTION
SPEAKERS COMING
Fire Chief Simons Max
ing Arrangements for
Visit on Wednesday
PROMINENT MEN

Jay w. Stevens, chief of the fire
prevention bureau of the Pacific,
Frank H. Wentworth of Boston, of
the National Fire Prevention associa-
tion, and J. H. Schively, publicity
director are touring southern Idaho
this week and last, to speak on fire
prevention in connection with cam
paign being conducted thruout the
west.
City Fire Chief Fred Simons re-
ceived word the last of the week
that Blackfoot will be visited on
Wednesday, Sept. II, by the cam
paign speakers and he is arranging
for their visit here, which will be an
all day affair. The association is
making special effort to educate
the children on the work of fire pre-
vention so all children in the public
schools will hear the speakers and
brief talks will be delivered in the
theaters.
Governor Davis issued proclama-
ton last week calling attention to
the fire prevention campaign, and
asking citizens to cooperate with
these officials in carrying out their
programs.
Fire losses in Idaho, according to
statistics are as high as in most other
states and are higher than in many
states. The rate is said to be grow
ing every day. According to the fire
prevention experts, one house burns
down each year for every two that
are built during the year---an alarm
ing result of carelessness.
The object Of the campaign this
week is to show how easily much of
this loss can be prevented by instill-
ing into the minds of school children,
as well as grown-ups, the principles
of avoiding fire breeding conditions.

Editors note: The following
article was published in the Ameri-
can magazine for August land is re-
printed here for the good it will do
showing the people the possibilities
in getting homes if they will but
work. to a plan and stick to it, 1t
should be of especial value to peo-
pie of this locality just now because
of the additions to Blackfoot that
are being made where the chances
are wide open to buy on the INSTALL
ment plan. Practically all Of the
people who are paying rent in the
town could buy homes on such a
plan if they only thought so. Many
people are doing it now, and many
have already done SO, and | know OF
none that have lost out by reason OF
their failure to make all payments
right on time. This is the best
country on earth to get (or take,)
extensions of time If anything goes
wrong in such matters. No man
closes anybody out so long as he Is
making an honest effort, and as for
emergencies, sickness and other
calamities, they come to all of us
and we get thru in some way and the
sun shines again. could point you
to dozen people paying for homes
now, out of salaries or other meager
incomes. They don't all consent to
publishing their experiences, but.
here is mine in brief: We bought
FIVE lots for $3.50, paid half cash.
borrowed money to pay the rest and
to start the house, and then mort
gagged the lots and the house to get
money to finish the house. We
signed a series of notes that I did
not know how we were going to pay
even with good luck, and we have
had all the different brands of for
tune that take peoples money.
When people own the home, they
conduct savings account with ma
ture by planting things that grow
and make the property more valu-
able every day. Every living thing
planted to beautify home is in a
measure like loaning money at COM
pound interest-it grows in value it
self and it adds new values all about
1t.
There are two slogans that I want
everybody to consider: One is, Buy
some lots and build bungalow"
The other is, 'fYour pep. You've got
it, now keep it.; dog-gone it you'll
need it. Your pep" And any
young people can put the two to-
gether and win.
The Magazine Article
"f don't know what we're going
to do! Our rents being raised and
we've got to move, but we can't find
anything else that isn't just as bad"
So many people made this remark

NEW YORK.-One item in the re-
port of the Salvation Army activit-
les in meeting transports at this port
is incomplete, and probably never
will be set down. That is the number
of doughnuts made and given to re-
turned soldiers. Nobody ever
stopped them, but they disappeared
by the thousand as fast as men could
snatch them.
From February % to February l
Salvation Army workers met trans
ports which carried 113,070 men.
Among these men they distributed
1O8.006 bars of chocolate, 1000
handkerchiefs, S4,647 post cards,
1880 newspapers, and 5000 pieces of
writing paper and envelopes.
Twelve thousand, five hundred and
