Academy Notes

The basket ball game Of
Cassia Academy with the Albion
Normal resulted in q score Of 13
to 20 in favor Of Albion. The
defeat OF our team was due
to the fact that they had been
accustomed to playing on a
smaller floor. The Albion team
will play the Academy on our
own floor next Friday night.
1t is needless to say that the
Albion team will be almost
wiped off the face Of the earth.
1t is thought there will be a
large crowd present to witness
the glorious victory of Cassia
Academy over Albion Normal.
The students are busy practicing
yells for the occasion. Every
body should have his throat in
good shape, so as to be able to
do his durndest." f"
A large number of students
took special training ii dancing
this week under Miss Nina Tay-
lor of Salt Lake City.
The student body will give
thcir first program of the year
Monday, December l., at 8:45 a.
m. Everybody is invited.
The Thanksgiving vacation
extends from Wednesday even
! ing till Monday morning. A
number of out-of- town students
took advantage of this to visit
their homes. The Misses Grace
Thompson, Bertha Taylor and
Myrlle Taylor are visiting al
Almo, Miss Ruby Hatfield al
Elba, and Howard and Ronald
Purcell al Churchill.

Irrigation Movement Full
of Promise for Oakley

President w. r. Jack, who
was one of Idaho's representa-
tives at the Irrigation Congress
held at Salt Lake last week,
brings an encouraging report
of the proceedings. The thir-
teen states represented are de-
termined to work tremendously
to the end that pressure be
brought to bear on Congress to
secure aid for great reclamation
projects throughout the West.
Governor Davis of Idaho was
elected chairman Of the organi-
zation.
Following the Salt Lake meet
ing, an Idaho Irrigation Con
gress was held at Idaho Falls.
1t was decided to make an effort
to secure assistance for building
four additional storage reservoirs
on Snake River. One OF these,
to be located near American
Falls, will cost approximately
$50, 600, 100000. 1t is thought
that this dam will provide water
for irrigating the lower part of
Oakley Valley. 1t surely looks
as if all the land between Oakley
and Burley would be under cul-
tivation within a few years and
under intensive cultivation.
Watch the desert blossom as the
rose!
Congress will be asked to ap-
propriate $3.50, 600, 900. 0O foriuse
in reclamation projects in the
West.
There was an enthusiastic
good fellowship between dele.
gates from different states al
Salt Lake. A pleasant socia
event was the banquet given BY
the Utah delegation at Hote
Utah in honor of the delegates
from the other states.

a pretty little harbor, and when
he goes ashore he mee.s Olaf
Guldmar. who has a ysr.y iasci-
mating daughter by tHe name Of
sT'helma. III the course Of Er-
rington' s visit with the old man
he learns to love Thelma, then as
event succeeds event, Thelma
falls in love with Erringt5n.
But never a rose without It's
thorns, and Siguard, a calibaa
sort of q fellow, also loves Thel-
ma, whom he hates to- see taken
away from her HON G in Norway.
But his love is 50 purely unselish
that he accades to her going
when he learns that sh e so choos-
es and Thelma is off for London
as the wife Of Errington.
Then groen-cyed Jealousy
creeps into their home and
through the combination of two
Williams, one a woman and the
other a man, Thelma is led TO be-
Geve that her husband has not
been true to her. Very naturally
it hunts her, yet she clings de-
votedly to her husband with h,r
love, but, however, decides to 60
back to Norway. About this
time Lovica, a witch, who had
pronounced culsss upon Thelma
and her father because he turne
her love aside when he was
young, appears and adds instl 4
to Thelma's wounds. The cll
witch dies after stabbing Thel-
mas father, who succumbs to his
wounds. A moment later Philip
Erriugton appears and comforts
Thelma, proves his innocence
and they are ready TO go on again
and complete their happiness.
The Richardson & Talbot At
fractions have been seen here
before and 'Th. lma' is being
presented by this firm this season

in capable hands and mounted
the play with beautiful efforts.

Charges Unfair and
Prejudiced Use Of Probe
Samuel T. Ansell, Former Act
ing Judge Advocate, Makes
Sensational Charge,

Washington, Aug. 29.--Fostering OF
unfair and prejudiced investigating Of
army courtsmartial practices through
packed bodies of inquiry, were
charged to Secretary Baker and Judge
Advocate General Crowder today by
Samuel T. Ansell, former acting Judge
acknowledgement.
Resuming his statement before the
senate military subcommittee, Mr.. An
sell declared that the inquiries made
by the American Bar association COM
mittee. Inspector General Chamberlain
and the army tribunal headed by MAJ
Gen. Herman, were biased" and that
recommendation in favor of the ex-
listing court martial procedure were a
foregone conclusion.
They indicate the desperate attempt
OF the war department to bolster up the
present system" he said.
The American Bar assoCia ton COM
mttee, Mr.. Ansell asserted. was hand
picked" and stacked" with men known
to support the position of Mr.. Baker
and Gen. Crowder. Its investigation,
he said, was unfair and was closed
without calling any of long list of
witnesses he suggested. Army officers
testifying in support of the present sys-
TEN, he added, had their expenses to
Washington paid, while witnesses he
suggested were warned that they Voc ID
have to pay their own way, and then
were not given an opportunity to tes-
tify.
