population is made up largely of
those two nationalities, see how easy
it would be for an insurrection to be
started among them that would
amount to civil war and all the hor-
rors of the night riders. Against
which the league would not protect
us because 1t would be among our
selves, no other nation would be in
volved.
Let no person juggle the articles
Of the league SO that you believe this
call to arms against the country OF
our nativity cannot happen. No adj
vocate on the senate floor could de-
fend against 1t and did not make
the attempt unless forced to by the
opposition. have heard but one
Democratic speaker who addressed
the voters of our town on the league

opposing the peace of the world, They
make the plea that they do not want
their sons to be called on by Europe
to settle disputes among the diff
ferent factions or nations over there,
We have already done that once and
with their approval, but now they
say they do not want to do it again
and consequently are opposed to the
league that might call them to go
across the waters to settle the
troubles of other people"
The league can never be adopted
until two-thirds of the senate vote
in favor of 1t, and when we go to
the polls to place a man in the sem
ate, we should ser aside local and
personal considerations and vote for
the man who stands for the attitude
we wish to maintain towards the
league.

Mr.. Cleare was serious thruout. He
did not crack smile and none of

The Unlimited

Mr.. Trego decided to promise them
so much that they would not take
him seriously, and to raise a laugh
if possible, He remembered that old
historic fact that the Malad valley
Oneida county was settled by three
families named Jones, Jenkins and
Evans, and that these family names

building up the institute to what it
is. He has arranged to make a spe-
cial trip to Blackfoot to sit down
with the committee when they are
ready for him and he will outline the
work and the way to organize to
handle it to the best advantage and
to take time by the forelock to keep
things running smoothly. His love of
the work stands out above his love
Of locality and he will do everything
he can to make the institute at Black
foot great big success.
Some of the best homes of Black
foot will be open to him for use dur
ing the institute as well as to the
big men of national reputation who
will come as lecturers to address the
teachers.
Mr.. Siders is a historian of no
mean ability, sportsman, an auto
mobilist, Rotarian and several
other commendable things. Above all
he is a worker and a manly man.
He shows his desire to be in touch
with the common people by his pre-
ferring to be called Walter rather
than Professor.

BINGHAM COUNTY'S
LIVE TEACHERS.

Blackfoot and Bingham County
are to be congratulated on the corps
Of teachers in the county this year
The manner in which they organized
and took up their work of taking the
teachers institute away from Ban
mock county and planning it in Bing-
ham for 1921, was especially com
mendable. They conducted quiet
campaign organizing their forces and
getting things lined UP for Bingham
county and when it became an open
fight with both counties doing their
best to secure it the Bingham county
teachers under the leadership of
County Superintendent Mrs. Faul-
coner conducted a whirlwind cam
paign that nobody else could catch
up with. They were working every
where all the time and were always
few links in advance of the other
folks. They conducted their work on
clean, fair lines, merely boosting for
Blackfoot and setting forth its hon
est claims for the convention and
refusing to do any knocking against
Pocatello. They, of course, had no
control over the teachers at large
who chose to criticise Pocatello and
that may have helped Bingham
county to win but Bingham county
teachers did not resort to the use of
that weapon. When they had ad-
vanced the campaign as far as they
could put it themselves and needed
some help to carry it further they
put out an s. O. S. call and got some
helpers from home who put the mat
ter beyond the reach of the opposi-
ton.
The same teachers will be working
next fall to make good on all the
promises made and all the service Of
fered and will do splendid teamwork
in connection with the Blackfoot
committee engaged in putting on the
institute.
People watching the contest at Po-
catello said the Bingham county
teachers were the livest bunch they
ever saw at an institute and they will
work, to maintain their reputation.
The teamwork Of the Blackfoot peo-
pie in connection with the teachers
Of Bingham county will give the
town and county valuable advertis-
ing by putting on an institute that
will always be remembered as big
success.

The question Of Argentine beef
shipped into the United States to be
sold in competition with the Ameri-
can farmers and cattlemen's pro-
ducts as communicated to our read
ers in Mondays paper Is very live
subject and the further it is investi-
gated the more serious 1t seems.
Under the present Democratic free
trade program the American farmers
and stockmen are brought into direct
competition with those who raise
their cattle on the limitless ranges
of South America and 1t is helping to
reduce the price of beef.
While we have been busy with our
war work and other business the big
syndicates handling the South Ameri-
can. beef have established it in the
American markets and it has per-
meated our whole commercial sys-
tenn. Now that the war has ceased
and the supply is equaling the de-
mand the South American beef is
supplying the market to an extent
that is going to seriously handicap
the American producers.
A note of alarm comes from the
Pacific coast in the past few days in
the reduced price of butter and milk
products. Big shipments of butter
have been landed from Holland and
the Scandinavian countries and the
price of butter dropped cents in
one day in consequence of one Of
those cargoes arriving On Monday
morning w. w. Thatcher Of the

room for all of them. Mr. Trego in
all of his addresses chung to the
theory that it was up to the Black
foot men to show that these homes
| were superior lot of homes and
could give a superior service, making
the teachers feel very much at home
and very comfortable.
The speakers from Pocatello were
presenting the matter in very SER
ious vein all the way thru and Mr..
Trego took the opposite tack. In
addressing the teachers he developed
the neighborly idea as much as pos
sible. In talking to the Butte County
and Custer county teachers he re-
minded them that Blackfoot is the
town that is working on the plan to
cover with earth all the rocks in
the road between Blackfoot and Arco
so that when they come down to see
us they can come over the rocky
places on high gear without injuring
their tires. He told them of the fine
chantauquas and circuses we have in
Blackfo0t that make occasion for
them to come down to see us and of
the good fishing up the line that
makes it pleasant for us to 60 up
into their country. He said he wanted
them to get acquainted with our
people and wanted our people to
know them because our people would
SO much appreciate them and their
talents. He gave them considerable
of what speakers generally call ICON"
talk and bunk" He attempted to
jolly them into the idea Of voting
for Blackfoot. The vote of Custer
county and Butte county was for
Blackf0ot and at six o'clock in the
evening it appeared to be a tie with
Oneida county holding the balance
of power. They were in session with
a packed house and were apparently
about evenly divided on the question.
Miss Hampton's
Move.
Miss Orpha Hampton of Bingham
county asked permission of the chair
man to have Mr.. Trego come in and
talk to them about Blackfoot. The
chairman said that he would not ad-
init Mr.. Trego unless Pocatello was
permitted to send a man in at the
some time. Pocatello chose W. H. |
Cleare to represent them and the
two speakers were admitted.
A Big Line
OF Bunk"
When the two speakers we're in
troduced and identified Mr.. Trego de-
ferred to Mr.. Cleare and he spoke
first. Mr.. Cleare spoke in consider
able seriousness about as follows:
Teachers, every year for fifteen
years Pocatello has always had you
with us at Institutes and we have
always taken care Of you. II there
has been anything that you have ever
wanted that we did not supply you,
we do not know what 1t is. There has |
always been q deficiency In your ex-

Bingham County
Teachers Work.
AS stated in our Fridays issue,
this matter was taken up by the
Blackfoot Commercial Club and Mrs.
Grace Faulconer the county superin-
tendent. Mrs. Faulconer organized
the teachers of Bingham County into
a working force and they worked
quietly until they had a good pros
pect of securing the next institute.
During this work the Pocatello people
learned Of what was being done and
they became very active to get it

Call.
When the word got out that Black
foot was trying for it Mrs. Faulconer
rang for help from Blackfoot and
M. O. Monroe, Harry Kinney, Ray
Crabtree and Byrd Trego went down
to take a hand in the work. They
arrived just in time to go before the
meeting Of county superintendent
whose final vote would decide the
matter. Pocatello was represented by
w. H. Cleare and Chairman Clark
Of the Pocatello Commercial Club.
They both addressed the meeting as
did also the four gentlemen from
Blackfo6t. The meeting then adj
journed and during the afternoon the
teachers Of the nine counties met IN
their separate school rooms to eau
Gus on the matter so the superinten-
dents could determine the wishes Of
their constituents, the teachers. t
1t was learned that Rlackfoot had
friends in practically all the counties
but as to the majorities In the diff
ferent cases there was quite study
and there was work to be done. The
caucuses were all being held at prac-
tically the same time and some of
the counties declined to receive the
speakers from Pocatello or Black
foot, preferring to thrash 1t out
among themselves on such informa-
ton as they had gathered. Editor
Trego secured an audience with the
Butte County teachers and later with
the Custer County teachers.

Lexington, Va, April 23.-(Special)- The Generals won another victory today by defeating the fast Auburn nine, to 1, in contest of many exciting nt- ments. The scoring began in the first inning. Because of errors by Burke and Eaines, after Cerbett had struck out the first two men up, three unearned runs resulted The Generals half of the first was featured by a beautiful double steal by Hisle and Cobb, after the for mer reached first on an error by Bon- ner, and the latter was walked by Bon her.

 = I'M GAFFNEf, one-t'me owner oi
 the Boston Braves, recited this V story to illustrate the brightness of the average baseball player:
 "Bin James, who helped to pitch the Braves to world championship heights in 1914. wasn't much use to the club the fol- lowing season. In fact, that year ms harm went bad, and although 1 kept hifn around for months and spent lot ol money in doctor bills and having speciai- ists treat his arm, it did not heip nln' oo decided. with Manager George Staiilnss' to send James home for the balance Of the season paid him his full salary Tor the year as a reward for his great work IT 1914 and I went further by giving nun a check sufficient to pay the traveing expenses of himself and his wife to san Francisco.

 Ball players on their traveiing trlps find their greatest delight in slipping over something on their fellows. In ths days that Moose Mccormick and Milton stock were playing with the Giants th- other players used Stock as means oi hanging a joke on Mccormick
 on the train Mccormick drew a lowes harth. and Stock, then a rookie, was a assigned to the upper. However, stoeN undressed early. and when Larry Dosis saw him doing this. asked him where he was going to sleep. Stock indicates the upper berth, ,,

FARMER JOHNNY DoBBs,

FARMER JOHNNY DoBBS, IT b'Gosh, wears neither sprig of spinach on his chin nor wisp of alfalfa in his hair, but this is his farewell season on the Southern baseball circuit-he's going back to his cows, cabbage patch, corn and clover over in Hamilton county, Tenn. It may be another of those Patti or Bernhardt farewell af fairs, but Farmer John told the rhubarb-eaters down in Mobile the other day that lone more pennant and I am through"
 That's mighty indefinite, but Johnny, who is in our midst today, says the cost of living away from home and managing ball teams IS getting too high and strenuous both ways.
 q can save more money and make as much down on the farm," he added.
 Johnny Dobbs is the highest paid maUdReT III tIlC SOuLuSlH iICaS uS. But he points out that house in New Orleans costs him $100 per month for a family of four. His farm is near Chattanooga and John ny opines-so it is said--for the back to nature life and short-horn cattle.
 Martin Burke is not likely to fight any more after his bout in July with Bob Martin, according to news from New Orleans. Burke, who made about $1 5000 net in the ring, invest ed the $5,000 he actually saved and went into the automobile business. He is finding 1t safer and more prof itable than professional pugilism.

riser. popping his head out Of the cuf- tains With roar like an enraged lion, Mccormick reached into the lower berth, grabbed Stock, tossed him into the upper and then went to sleep.
 They do things differently down in Cuba than in the United States. This Is an instance:
 Adolpho Luque. the Red pitcher, par ticipated in many of the games in the Havana district during the past winter.
 During one of the games the Cuban became enraged over a ruling by the un- pire and promptly soaked him upon his nose The arbitrator retorted by having Luque arrested. The judge was an un- sympathetic individual and fined I.uaus si0o While the Cuban pitcher was dig ging down in his jeans to ascertain whether he had such a sum of money with him, crowd of fans in the court room took iip a hasty collection. They raised s5l0 and gave it to Luque Where upon he paid the s100 and pocketed s4i0.
 Undoubtedly. when Johnnie Evers reads this. he will be very much saddened be- cause he spent all his baseball life in the United States, where a player, instead of getting $40, gets all the worst of it when he slugs an umpire.

 Ashton Donza's teacher wouldn't let him neglect his studies to appear in the ring here this week. Donza better stick to school until he ae- quires sufficient education to make living in some line other than pugi- lism.

Bulldog hitters were better swatters than the Panther buldgeon weilders in slugfest on Munger field yesterday after noon, and as a. result the Howard entries scored another win over their ancient foes by 12 to z count
 The.two rival aggregatdons displayed reversal of the form dished out on Eagles field Wednesday afternoon. The game was a loosely played encounter in which the East Lake collegians were able to bunch hits and Panther errors to a better advantage than their oppo- nents. The pitching was mediocre, the fielding was worse. while the sluggers were at their best.

 Gadd's shifty style of fighting, his \ faotwork and the accuracy of his launches proved toe much for oNeal and Burke in the battling for the lightweight title.
 Garrett put up mighty shard fight against Gadd in the 145-pound class, tut lost ont in the latter rounds, when Gaad scored heavily with rights and lefts to the head.
 The surprise bout of the evening came about when l..

However, Colletti had trick or two up his sleeve, which, when sprung upon Gomez, completely baf- fled the little boxer.
