Cork, Center of Anh-British Riots,
Had 073 Murders in II Months

The City of Cork, the birthplace of
Terence MacSwney, has long been a
hotbed of Sim Fein activity and has
witnessed many violent manifestations
of antagonism to the British rule.
These outbreaks, together with govern
ulent reprisals, have resulted in much
boodshed.
Cork remained in the public eye dur
ing the seventy-tpur day hunger strike
of its Lord Mayor. Before the begin
ming Of the sensational developments
in the MacSwiney case the city at
tracted worldwide attention through
the murder of Thomas MacCurtain,
who preceded MacSwiney as Lord
Mayor. MacCurtain, an outspokcn
champion of the Sim Fein cause, was
slain in his home March 80 last This
crime stirred Ireland more than any
event since the attempt on the life Of
Viscount French, Lord Lieutenant Of
ireland, in December, 1919.
Terence MacSwiney was elected Lord
Mayor of Cork March 80, 1920, to fill
the vacancy caused by MacCurtain's 9
death. He defed the government at the
outset, but was not molested until early
IN August. He was then arrested by
the British authorities while presiding
over a court at Cork. He was impris-
oned and refused to take food. He was
later tried and sent TO Brixton prison
FOR two years. He persisted in his re-
fusal to take food and died October %
after venty-four-day hunger strike.

According to British records, e73 per-
sons have been assassinated by Sim
Fein agents in Cork and vicinity dur

Commissioner Claxton, during the

extremely interesting figures showing
che great growth education has ex-

Mr.. Claxton declared that during the
year 1920 the United States has
spent as much as the rest of the
world combined on education des-
pite the fact that it contains but
one-seventeenth OF the worlds popu-
Iation.
In 1870 fifty years ago, $6S,0OO,-

ementary and secondary education =
Mr.. Claxton declared. In 1920 for
the same work we spent $1,015,000,-
900. In 1870 we spent 1901, 900 900
for the preparation of teachers; this
year we spent $27,OOO,000. Fifty

GIRL RISKS LIFE
TO SAVE CHILDREN
Miss Mollie kooch Sends
Car Into River to =
Prevent Accident

Miss Mollie Kooch of this city, who
is spending the summer with her
parents at Kooch's Inn at Big
Springs committed very commend
able deed of great bravery last Sun
day when crossing the bridge at Big
Springs. To prevent running over
little Winifred and Jean Trude, who
were physically unable to hear her
klaxon, she steered her car into the
banisters, knocking them down and
driving over the side Of the bridge
into the deep water below. Mrs.
Glen Garret, a homesteader Of that
section, was In the car with Miss
Kooch. -
The two children were playing on
the bridge, and coming upon them
suddenly and realizing that they
could not avoid her car there was
only one thing to be done to save
them and she did it, very calmly with
the result of few deep cuts on her
person and broken car weel.
Miss Kooch speaks of the matter
very unassumingly, but has been
highly lauded by those familiar with
the circumstances.
Miss Kooch is entitled to a Rookie

o. E. Bills Makes De-
post of Hard Cash
as Side Bet for
Contest
FRIENDS ENTHUSED
Admirers of Nash and
Essex Anxious to
See Battle

Interest in the proposed automo-
bile race on the fair grounds track
during fair week is becoming keener
daily and automobile enthusiasts in
Blackfoot and surrounding territory
are eagerly awaiting word that defln-
ite arrangements have been made be-
tween the prospective contestants.
The difference of the wheel bases
Of the cars proposed as entrants in
the race Is causing considerable diff
ficulty in reaching an agreement.
The wheel base of the Essex owned
by 0. E.-Bills which has challenged
the Nash of D. A. Jenkins for a five
mile race is 10S1a inches. The
wheel base of the Nash is 121 inches
making difference between the two
cars of 12h inches. Owing to the
differenct between the two cars Mr..
Jenkins has stated that he felt that
his car would be at disadvantage
in a race between the Nash and Es-
sex. Therefore he entered chal-
lenge for race between his Nash
and any stock Hudson in Blackfoot.
The wheel base Of Hudson is 18TH
inches which fact has caused the
owners Of various Hudsons in the
city to enter the same objection as
Mr.. jenkins, that the Hudson would
be at disadvantage should It race
with a Nash.
Friday o. E. Bills. deposited the
sum of $3.50 in cash with The Repub-
lican as side bet between his Es-
sex and the Nash Of MIR. Jenkins and
reiterated his challenge OF last week.
The money was deposited under, the
following conditions. "The sum Of
$3.50 is hereby deposited with the,
Idaho Republican as a side bet for q
race between the Essex owned by O.,

Friends Of the two cars are in
hopes that an agreement can be
reached this week. possibly by means
Of handicap for one Of the cars.

SUMMARY OF WEATHER
AND CROP CONDITIONS

Most Of the week was unseason-
ably cool and frost occurred on sew
eral dates. There was considerable
cloudiness and as a result sunshine
was inadequate. The drought that
had presisted for SO long over much
of the state was broken by fairly
copious rains in many localities, but
there are still some sections where
rain is badly needed.
The weather was not entirely fav-
orable for maturing crops. 1t was
entirely too cold for corn and most
garden truck would have made bet
ter progress with little more
warmth. However, the cool weather
and rains were very beneficial to
meadows, pastures and ranges, and
potatoes, sugar beets, and staple
truck crops made fair advance. Sugar
beet seed was damaged by wind and
rain in the Idaho Falls district.
Apples and prunes are growing rap
idly and taking on color nicely.
Thrashing and harvesting were in
terrupted by rains and cloudy
weather and this work is at a stand
still In localities pending more fav-
orable weather. The roads, many
especially where dragged promptly,
were much improved by the rains.
Pastures and ranges improved and
range feed is reported ample for the
season. Livestock are in good en-
dition and thriving. Heavy ship
ments OF cattle and lambs are being
sent out to market.

TWO CANDIDATES
RETIRE FROM RACE
R. c. Bills and J. H.
Hale File Withdrawal
From Election

R. G. Bills and j. H. Hale, can
didates for county commissioner in
the second district on the Republican
and Independent tickets have fled
their Withdrawals from the race, re-
sultant from the fact that there was
considerable discussion ad dissatis-
faction about the matter and three
cornered race usually throws the
election to the candidate favored by
the smallest majority. Rather it re-
suits in the election of the man who
gets the larger minority. About
40 per cent Of the votes elect in such
cases and it is not desirable to have
40 per cent of the people select the
men for office.
A meeting Of the county central
committee will be called for the pur-
pose of selecting man to fill the
vacancy on the Republican ticket. It
will be remembered that Mr.. Hale's
nomination was filed because of the
opposition to Mr.. Bills, headed by A..
g. Dickinson and others who do not
like Mr. Bills personally. There do
not seem to be any charges of dis
satisfaction in his official acts and
thoughtful men regret this disturb
ance Kicked up by elements outside
of politics. Mr.. Bills is busy man
who does not like the constant fire
directed at man in office and when
he found that these personalities
were being stirred up constantly he
said he preferred to hand 1t over to
some one else.
