Large Attendance at
Carnival First Night

The carnival attractions of the
Browns Amusement company, who
are in Blackfoot for the week, under
the auspices of the local American
Legion, had an unusually large
crowd for opening evening Tuesday.
- The six shows and twenty conces-
sions attracted good audiences all
evening, the cabaret dancers being
the most popular. A ferris wheel
and merry-go-round are On the job
too.

Newcomers Forced
To Live In Park

There are as many as three
families who came here by automo-
biles, looking for homes and unable
to find them, who are forced to tenn
porarily camp out in the city park.
One of these families is that of l..
S. York from Bilivar, Mo. Mr.. York
has six childrens and is very anxious
to find a location in the city or
county near a school house. He has
had extensive experience in irrigated
farming, but is just now looking for
any kind of work. Mr.. York can be
reached thru j. H. Early, 33 West
Bridge street.

ing 1t off in times Of plenty, and this
valley has years of plenty when OBJ
legations are easily paid of.
Tuesday is the Time
\ Tuesday evening at the council
meeting is the legal opportunity to
make. q protest against the program
of enterprise and progress, and il
anyone is in doubt about letting the
undertaking go on, he should think
long and hard to see whether he will
register objections when It would
add to the hardships Of the year and
complicate the work already under
way, If he stood before the council
and opposed the completion Of the
work. The town is not developed
fast enough to keep pace with the
country around 1t, and stopping its
development Is not the way to catch
up. We hope II will turn out like
such q matter did In Idaho Falls re-
Gently when It was proposed to pave
large area In the residence section
and only six people indicated that
they were not in favor of the under
taking, and that was only enough to
prove that human nature has not
changed.
va Visitors Coming Then Wy "
B Next week, 9 from Monday o till
Thursday, we shall have visitors
from other counties in the state,
studying our methods of public i'm
provement, our road machinery, our
system of accounting. and managing
the road workers. They will talk
with our people and see If they are
backing the officials in the things
that are being done. They may at
tend the meetings of the county
board and the city. council to see If
the wheels grind evenly on the grist
Of expense bills and the plans for
fulfillment of hopes and promises.
All Experience Assuring
There is one safe guide for
measuring the future, and it has al
ways been reassuring. 1t is the
guide Of experience and every time
the community has risen together to
do something which scared the timid
ones into protesting, if the work has
gone on, it has been so satisfactory
that people soon wished more had
been done while the job was on. If
we gave it up and let it go, people
soon changed their minds and said
i, was a mistake. When we built the
sewer system, the only lasting com
plant has been that it was not made
larger and longer. When we paved
the streets there was opposition, hut
it soon faded away and gave late
to regrets that twice as much was rot
done while we were at it. Ii we lave
doubts, let US bury them. If we have
courage, let us stimulate it and
forge ahead.

Little Effect on Taxes

SAttAC AbhCSt Foha sA0ACo
The other streets to be paved will
cost the city nothing excepting for
the intersections where streets and
alleys cross. The citizens owning the
property will pay all the rest, and
that will be assessed against their
property thru a term of years In
such small amounts that it will be
easily met. Af.er the paving is done
there will be less cost of sprinkling
and less expense for cleaning the
dust out Of houses, and for launder-
ing all that is in the houses. Under
present conditions the dust arising
from wind and travel adds very
greatly to the work and expense of
housekeeping on account OF the
loads of dust driving into, the house
and all thru the coat of dust on all
the leaves, thus sm0thering plant life
as 1t breathes or tries to breathe thru
the pores of the leaves. Along the
country roads this is getting to be q
serious item on crops, and people
are waking up to the fact. that 1t is
better to spend money on hard SUR
faced roads than to spend it fighting
the dust. Every housekeeper on
East Main and Shilling avenue knows
something OF the burden. which the
clouds of dust add to her life, and
she will endorse the paving enter
prise and gladly sacrifice something
else, to be relieved of the dust
problem.
Prevents Hard Times '
At this time when the crops Lave
been cut short by lack of water, the
expenditure of borrowed money to
build paving will be a fortunate
thing to stave off hard times. This
fall when there is a prospect of the
sugar campaign being so short that
1t will reduce the volume of business
in the town, is a good time to have
construction work in plenty on the
streets. 1t puts money into circula-

LEADER AND
LORD ROBERT CECIL
MAKE BIG RECORDS

London, Aug. 2o.-(Correspondence
of The Associated Press.)-In the
opinion Of the man in the street, the
outstanding figures Of parliament are
Sir Robert Horne, labor minister, and
Lard Robert Cecil. who sits on n
Of the green leather benches in the
house as al ordinary member.
Sir Robert Horne, whose character
may best be described by the nick
name his friends have given him,
Hail Smiling Horne" gave up q law
Scottish bar to become a member Of
the government at $4,000. He won
the confidence /of labor in numberless
conferences, and recently has been
responsible for the firm handling of
the labor situation when the apostles
Of "direct action" gained the upper
hand among workmen.
Lord Robert Cecil is described by
his friends as an "old member in a
new coat" and since his return from
the Paris peace conference has been
adding almost daily to his reputation.
They call him the mystery man. Of
parliament. Once looked upon as the
type of Tory aristocrat in politics, he
new seems ready to Guido the demo-
Gratis in democracy. Among his fol-
lowers Is a large band Of enthusiastic
young Uniontsts, and the labor men
hail him as one after their own
heart. Everybody is asking what
party will he lead, which way will he
turn.
Two other men are pointed out as
having added much to their reputa-
ttons-Sir Donald Maclean and. ]. r.
Clynes. Sir Donald led the lone little
band Of Independent Liberals through
the trying times Of the session. At
times he showed such qualities of
leadership that some of the cores
pondents are of the opinion that he
has given full hope to q party which

Mrs. Gar1ash Says Tanlac
Was Worth Weight In

Before I finished my hrst bottle OF
Tanlac I knew that I had at last
found just the medicine I needed"

Mrs. Ganash, land as q benefit to
these people. I am glad to have this
opportunity to tell them what great

When I commenced taking Tanlac my

ate, and I would have awful cramping
spells on account Of gas forming.
Even a glass of milk would sometimes

badly constipated all the time, and
had to take a purgahve Of some kind
nearly every day. I had Y bad
spells Of dizziness that I would have
to hold on to something to keep from
aches, too, and was so nervous that
the least noise would upset me. and
such a thing as a good nights sleep
was out Of the question with me.
Then to add to my suffering, I con-
tracted rheumatism in my arms and
shoulders so q that there were
times when I couldn't raise my hand
to my head. For the last three
months before I commenced taking
Tanlac, 1 was confined to my bed
most Of the time.
Well, 1t just seemed impossible for
me to find a medicine or treatment
that would do me any good. but I
made up my mind to keep on trying.
so when I heard about Tanlac l
bought a bottle and commenced
taking it. I have only taken four
bottles Of this medicine 30 far, and 1
can truthfully say that I feel as we'll
in every way as I ever did in my life.
II have gained ten pounds already,
and I know I An still gaining every
day. I have a hne appetite, and the
best Of all is. I can ea anything I
want and as much as L want and I

The rheumatism and headaches have
left me too, and that alone makes
Tanlac worth its weight in gold to
me. I sleep like a baby every night.

I do all my housework and 1t doesn't
seem to tire me at all. I tell every

just can't find words to express how
happy I am, an how grateful I feel

1T doesn't make any difference to

TEST CASE FILED BY
 STATE AGAINST CITY AND COUNTY BY SMITH
Suit Based on Commissions Deducted by Probate Judge From Money Collected for Automobile
 Licenses

A test case in which the state of Ala bama is suing the city of Birmingham for the recovery of $1OOo paid in supposed error by the Jefferson county probate court was filed yesterday in the circuit court A similar case for the same amount is also filed against Jefferson county Both cases are the outcome or the uncertain meaning of the law which requires the probate court to pay to the city 40 per cent gross" of the automo- bile tax fnoney collected from city resl- dents, ahd the same to the county III the case of those living beyond the clty limits. The law requires that the re
 nainder" go to the state, but allows the court 21a per cent commission for making the collections. Judge J. F. Stiles, who made the payments, gave the full Al per cent to the city and county, and turned over to the state 571k per cent, deducting his commission from the states share, leaving the city and county to receive their gross percentage. The attorney general, J. A. Smith, contends that the 2hs per cent commission should be deducted pro rata from the city, county and state shares This would give the city or county 8 per cent net and the state 5Shs per cent net. The issue concerns the meaning to be given the word gross, the attcyhey general contending that IL is enormously used.
