Tobacco is " one Of the scarcest ar.

pay any price for it. They have done
without it for period of four years,

this is 2 national question and has
nothing to do with State or local

have cost the farmers of Christian
county over million dollars on to-

RECRUITING FOR
EUROPEAN SERVICE
Enlisting Men In The
Marine Corps on New
Limited Term Plan
PLAN is INVITING

Sgt. G. l.. Roberts, of PQcatello
recruiting station, was in BlackfOOt
Wednesday, Mackay and Arco Thrus-
day, and will be in town again Friday
on his way back to PocatellO. Sgt.
Roberts is accepting enlistments in
the marine corps on the new limited
plan, for service in Europe and dis
charge when reaching America on
the return journey.
For all those who so naturally
were disappointed at the too early
termination of war when they were
only about to step aboard ship to
cross to France this opportunity
should sound about the right thing.
For all returned soldiers who find
that civilian life is more of a COM
petitive scramble than they had in
mind while rushing away from army
routine this chance to 60 back in for
limited time, perhaps for only two
or three months, should have a
proper appeal.
Sgt. Roberts is acting pursuant to
instructions received in the follow
ing official communication:
District officers will get in touch
with all discharged marines and SOL
diers with a vieweto ascertaining if
there are any, and how many, who
will re-enlist in the marine corps for
special limited service in France.
They will be sent to France to re-
lieve men now there and will re-
main until the fall, when all troops
will be withdrawn. They will be
discharged upon their return to the
United States. Men must be physic-
ally qualified and will enlist for four
years with notation on their en-
listment papers and service record
book that they are for special limited
service in France and will be dis
charged upon return to the United
States. Daily bulletins will show
these men separately. Tranfser all
these men direct to marine barracks,

TWO FIRES BROKE
OUT AT COTTAGE
HOTEL MONDAY
Quick Work Of Fire
Department Saved
Property And
Many Lives
EXPERT FIREMAN
NOW in CHARGE

The fire department of Blackfoot
earned a months pay Monday night
when it put out two fires in the Cot
tage hotel, one just long enough
after the other to allow the firemen
time to get home wash up, and lie
down to sleep.
~ The first fire was serious, a slow
creeping burning that had covered
half the width of the hotel, beneath
the main floor. Had it broken into
blaze there is little doubt but the
hotel would have gone up. The de-
partment arrived in time, however,
and put stop to the smouldering.
1t was II o'clock before Manager
Daniels of the Cottage hotel dis
covered the smoke coming from
under the floor. He had had fire
burning in the CRATE in the lobby all
evening and whatever smoke any
body smelled was attributed to the
fireplace.
He turned in the alarm at II and
shortly afterwards the whole house
was thick with smudge. Chief Sim
ons' fire fighters located the fire
along the floor beams and broke out
a ditch thru the flooring to get at it.
No damage was done to the house
or furnitue besides that.
AS it was early in the evening a
crowd gathered to see the excite
ment and. they were entertained by
an amusing incident. A travelling
man in the Cottage hotel, upstairs,
got separated from his wife, and was
to be seen promenading upon the
roof of Watson's garage with a slut
case in his hand, looking for some
way to get down.
Meanwhile his wife was promen-
aiding the front porch of the hotel
wondering tearfully what dire fate
had befallen her husband inside the
smudgy building.
After the excitement, husband
might have been explaining to wiley
on the verandah how he had sent
her a message from the roof, etc.,
etc.
Until the second fire it was
thought that the first started at the
CRATE fireplace, because it had

GREAT WESTERN
MEN ARE COMING
TO CONVENTION
Invitations Were Issued
To Two Hundred
Utah and Idaho
Publishers
PLEASURE TRIP
ENTERTAINMENT

Arrangements for the publishers
convention and the booster picnic
in the middle of the Dubois project
are being perfected. The Idaho Re-
publican has just sent out Invitations
to more than 200 publishers asking
them to attend both events, the
demonstration of the new printing
machinery and the booster picnic
on May "a and 25 at Blackfoot.
Needn't go so Far Away
Shipments of the new machine
have been arriving and the last part
needed to complete the new LUDLOW
typagraph is due to be shipped from
Chicago today, by express and an ex-
pert will arrive Monday or Tues
day to set the new machine to op-
Grating. This will be the first typo
garph to be installed in any office
west of Denver and east of the
Pacific coast cities. Publishers in
terested in seeing the testing of this
new invention can make the trip to
Blackfoot, Idaho, to see it, rather
than go to Denver or the coast. And
at the same time they can have a
look at the Snake river valley in
three sightseeing auto trips.
A Combination of Excursions
The first sightseeing trip will be
a view of the town of Blackfoot and
the suburbs on Saturday afternoon
from 1.30 to 3 o'clock, with a high
school girl in charge of each car to
point out things of interest and tell
something of their interest as they
are passing. These cars will pass
very slowly up and down the prin-
cipal streets and the fair young
historians will tell the publishers
matters of interest about the town
and its people. The other sight
seeing trip will leave at o'clock in

did not resign. They are on the
schedule for next year. Chester Vim

Settling Fisher Case
The school board appointed a
committee Monday evening to confer
with the county commissioners as to
settling on the amount of money due
the local school district from the
county in the Charles V. Fisher case.
All shortage shown by the county's s
special audit has been made good by
Mr.. Fisher, it is understood, and part
of this money is due the school dis
trict. Criminal proceedings will,
however, be started by attorney
Gagon against Mr.. Fisher.
Water Costs Money
The school board also appointed
committee to devise means of
watering the lawn of the Irving
school. At present, with the high
cost of sprinkling, and with the
lawn high above irrigating level, 1t Is
too much of an expense. A sugges-
ton that sounds good to Superintend-
ent Vincent is to cut down most of
the lawn to irrigation level and
park the parts of it fanking cement
walk around both sides of the build
ing. The committee is studying this
matter. An alternative is to install
a pumping plant to provide ditch
water for the lawn.
Finishing Ceremonies
Some Of the events for celebrating
the close of the school year are:

American Legion in
Three Day Sessions
Constitution Adopted for Present
Mayor Thompson Denounced
Also War Directors
AT MINNEAPOLIS NEXT FALL

The three day convention in st.
Louis, MAG 8, 8 and 10 and leaves no
doubt about the existence Of ma
tional organization of soldiers, sail
ors and marines, one that fully in
tends to be felt in the affairs of the
nation.
The delegates condemned heartily
the order of Secretary Baker in
granting honorable discharges to
conscientious objectors and thus put
ting a premium on disloyalty, as
body demanded of congress drastic
action concerning the war depart
ment's handling of the matter. The
causus also demanded that congress
go after all l. w. WIS, international
socialists and alien draft evadiers,
Another resolution condemned the
use of the United States army uni
form for the purpose of peddling
wares to the public or begging.
The soldier and sailor delegates
denounced Mayor Thompson of
Chicago, in connection with the effort
of Chicago delegates to have their
city made the next convention place.
One speaker said: ..Chicago cannot
have us now or any other time until
Chicago has an American mayor"
Delegates from Chicago were as
sured that this was no reflection on
those of the city who Loyalty did
their duty during the great war.
Minneapolis was selected as the
scene of the next convention.
The Seattle soldiers and sailors
council was refused membership in
the American Legion, because of q
suspicion of NV. W.ism in it's ranks
altho there are members of that dele.
cation who would be welcomed into
the national organization, because
they are above question.
A temporary constitution provides
that any man or woman who served
in the army, navy or marine corps
during the war shall be eligible to
membership, except those dishonor-
ably discharged.

Will Attend Picnic
At the Mayohi May "a

Mrs. A. Rupe and her sister from
Oklahoma were in frem Sterling
Tuesday and Wednesday in a big
new seven-passenger car and said
they were both happy and worried.
They were happy over the new car
and the way it steps over the country
and they were worried about the
wind. Mrs. Rupe said it has been
playing havoc with some of their
crops by blowing them out, and that
If it kept on behaving in the same
manner very long she was going to
hunt for a different climate. Her
sister said that if she had known the
winds blew so much she would have
remained in Oklahoma.
We told them that If we had all
known the disadvantages of this
country before we came we might
have gone somewhere else and
missed all the good things here and
been worse off for it. The weather
clerk is hurrying up to get thru with
the blowing while the blowing is
good, and so he can have a clear
space for the editors convention and
booster picnic on the twenty-fourth
and twenty-fifth.
A number of our progressive farm
ers are conducting experiments with
universal windbreaks" in the open
fields to see how they can best keep
the soil from drifting, and We are
gathering material for report on
those matters that will be good to
use in matching the bad behavior of
the weather clerk.
People might as well understand
that there is some wind here in the
spring of the year, and yet the sum-
mer and fall are SO perfect that peo-
pie, who get disgusted with spring
winds, afterwards become grateful
for the fine follow-up weather and
say, well, this is so fine We will
forgive the weather clerk for all his
capers last spring."

County Schools End
Term With Exercises

As the end of the school year
comes nearer the kiddies can less
and less bear the tedium of long, dull
hours inside, while things are bud
ding green along the roadside and
meadowlarks torment mankind with
carefree invitations to the fields
let work go hang, preparations are
under way for closing exercises.
Nearly all the county schools will
give final programs and some are to
have commencement exercises.
AT the Aberdeen high school COM
mencement address will be delivered
by President Lindley, of the Uni
versity of Idaho, Moscow.
The Flagtown school closed last
week. The Firth school has all
closed, excepting the eighth grade,
which is kept going by volunteer
teachers until the examinations of
May 27, 28 and 29 shall have been
gone thru with.
A final program will be given at
the Thomas school Friday afternoon
of this week.
In spite of the flu vacations and
Interruptions Bingham count y
schools have made a remarkable
record for efficiency this year, ac-
cording to Mrs. Grace Faulconer,
county school superintendent, who
is just now busy with final reports
on Standardization of studies during
the past year.
Most of the schools of the county
are meeting the standard qualifica-
TOMS set by the state. The fact that
there is standard set helps raise
the ideals at each school, Mrs.
Faulconer thinks. ,M
