The Town Council has had the
streets moved and its time for the
people to get busy on their vacant
lots and premises. An ordinance
passed few weeks ago, which has
just become law, gives the town all
needed authority to compel people
to clean up and keep their premises
clean, otherwise the town can have
1t done and assess the cost against
the property.

With the beginning of a new year
Topeka will be entitled to a big ad-
dition to its censored census of 5O,O22
bestowed by the government, for the
babies born in the year 1920 have
added nobly to the population score.
When the final count is in for new
babies born within the last year the
total will be close to 1.150, it is esti-
mated by DR.. Earle G. Brown, city
health officer. With the report made
TO include only a part of December
the total is Lila. The total for 1919
was 1907
Deaths in Topeka numbered prac-
tically the same in 1920 as in 1919.
So far the deaths reported have to-
tailed IA, with the last few days of
December not included. Last year
total deaths were 730.

DECREASE or 1893 THIS YEAR

The average Topekan who has con-
versed on the Volstead act and filed
away in his brain mental picture of
great desert, will be surprised to
learn that during the year closed to-
Topeka police for drunkenness. Yet
this is a decrease of 139 from 1919
when 373 arrests were made on this
charge. And it is reasonable to sup
pose that only a small per cent of
those who ''lickered up" ever found a
| bunk in the city Jail.
They Drank Patent Medicine.
While the figures on the police
blotter show a decrease in arrests for
drunkenness, the police do not regard
it as an indication of higher morals in
the community. Whereas last year
DRINKS were mostly made that way by
whiskey and beer, those arrested this
! year were usually victims of Jamaica
! ginger, flayoring extract and patent
medicines. The effect of these bev-
| erageS is far more serious than that
of liquor, it is contended.
But the most serious feature of pro-
| hibition is the spread of the narcotic
industry. No actual figures on the
number of dope fiendS" rounded up
! by the police can be obtained, for they
are invariably booked for 'investiga-
| ton" and this word covers a multi
Chief G. G. Hannah and his men, the
narcotic habitutes have increased
alarmingly in numbers and epidemics
! of thievery, burglary and petty lar
ceny have followed in their wake.
Dope costs far more than liquor form
erly did and the victim must have it
at any cost. The result is robbery
and burglary.
Collect More Fines.
| Attic there was an increase over
1919 of only thirty-two arrests this
year, the amount of fines collected by
the police court was $745.75 greater.
The arrests this year totaled also as
compared with 2,14S last year. Fines
collected this year amounted to &c.
4S9.75 as opposed to 1864 in 1919.
These figures on arrests are only for
the actual number booked. A total
of $500 persons were taken into Gus
tody by police officers during this
year, but not all of them were booked
In many cases a man or woman would
be arrested and brought to the station
lmerely for the purpose of obtaining
information as to someone else. In
4 thisSc their names were not put on
the police blotter.
Many petty Crimes.
The majority of the arrests were
made for crimes of a petty nature

girls. OF the colored babies, 40 are
boys and IS girls. OF the Mexican
babies, 40 are boys and % girls. In
1919 the score among white babies
stood. 439 girls and 435 boys; colored,
SO girls and So boys; Mexican, &c girls
and rs boys.
More women died than men in 1920.
The death report to Dec. % shows
that 364 women have died within the
year and 354 men. The disease caus-
ing the largest number OF deaths In
the year was pneumonia, with its total
of 81. Influenza caused thirty-six
deaths in 1920. tuberculosis of pull
monary nature was responsible for
nineteen Deaths while tuberculosis of
other kinds caused four deaths
Whooping cough, considered by many
a harmless disease, brought death to
ten persons. Seven persons died of
typhoid fever, five of simple menin-
gifts and three of epidemic cerebral
meningitis.
Influenza In Lead.
Influenza led by far in the number
of cases over any disease attacking To-
peka in 1920. No less than 1 800 cases
of influenza had been reported to the
city board of health by the last of
April. 1920. Measles, estimated only
to Dec. l, totalled 972 cases. scoring
next to influenza in number of cases.
Whooping cough attacked $40 persons
| up to Dec. 1. Chicken poX scored 422
| cases before Dec. l. There were 131
cases of tuberculosis on the city health
report before Dec. /. Scarlet fever, one
of the epidemics of the year, caused
1922 cases, the majority of which were
reported in September, October and
November. Smallpox had caused rs
cases by Sept. 1. The report of typhoid
to Dec. 1 was so cases. Diphtheria, re-
ported in every month but August, to-

| ten persons in Topeka in 1920. Three
cases of simple meningitis and three
cases of epidemic cerebral spinal men

municable diseases for 1920.
March Banner Birth Month.
In March of 1920 the largest num-
| Der of births were reported of any
month of the year, with 100 listed. In
July 119, babies were born, in August,
| 104, and in November, 102. Other
\ months report less than 100 births.
| The largest number of deaths of the
year occurred in February. when 80
| persons died, thirty-six of them from
| influenza. In February there were
| 1871 cases of influenza In May &c
persons died, but the number must
have been from more or less natural
causes, as the health report shows
only light report on infectious dis
| eases in May.
Measles has Cor have?) been with
US every month of the year and in

year. In May 211 cases of measles

HE RESIGNS As MAYOR
III. H. Deichler Quit as Mayor of Cot
feyvilIe Before He Was Ousted.

Nearly an hour before he received
notice that he had been ousted as
mayor of Coffeyville, Henry H. Deich-
Ter resigned. In the state house there
is belief that his resignation was in
spired by an attempt to evade payment
of costs in the case. These costs
amount to probably $1,000.
Deichler's term as mayor expired to-
day. The supreme court order busting
him was issued within one day of the
end of his term.

Honor Departing
Minister and Family

Wednesday evening about fifty
friends of Rev. and Mrs. A. L. Pet
erson surprised them at their home,
and announced that they had arrived
to spend the evening with them to
express their appreciation of their
friendship, before they leave the
coming week for their new home at
Firth.
The guests consisted Of members
Of the Lutheran congregation and
they brought with them an elegant
set of silver knives and forks as a
token of remembrance and apprecia-
ton.
The evening passed merrily in
games and social conversation and
closed with delicious luncheon.
Rev. Peterson and family are go
ing to make their home at Firth in
the newly erected parsonage and he
will have charge of the work of the
Lutheran church at Firth in addi-
tion to Blackfoot. Rev. Peterson
has done good work in Blackfoot,
and although they will reside at Firth
the work in Blackfoot will contin-
ue as before.

The Repair Shop
JOKES GET MANY
April Fools Day Takes Toll of Un-
suspecting Victims

The month of April was ushered
in with the usual number of April
fool jokes and pranks played on un-
suspecting citizens of Blackfoot.
Chocolates with onion, cork, cotton
and soap Filings were given away
much to the discomfort of the re-
cipient. Even the teachers of the
various schools were not exempt. All
day long a harmless looking shoe
box lay in front of the postoffice, but
only few hardy individuals kicked
it. Several pocketbooks, apparently
we'll filled, lay on the walks in va
rious portions of the city and not a
few attempted to pick them up.
One of the best jokes pulled in
the city yesterday was when one of
the porters of local barber shop
took one of his brother porters out
along the railroad track for several
miles to give him drink of al
legged whisky. 1t was rather likely
looking bottle of wet goods, but it
surely lacked the kick. The liquid
was made up Of soap and other like
Neither Of the porters
are speaking to each other today.

Daylight Saving
Act Is Repealed

The Cowler bill repeating the day.
light saving law was passed Monday
night by the New York state senate
by a vote of 20 to %.
This is the first step taken by the
state legislature to straighten out the
confusion and hopeless muddle which
has confronted the cities of the state
since the timepieces were turned
ahead one hour on March 2S.
Passage of the Belts companion
bill in the assembly Tuesday night
by similar slim majority is pre-
dicted. Should the governor sign
the bill the state will return to nor
NAL federal time before the end Of
the week.
The Cowler bill as passed, how
ever, does not nullify the daylight
saving ordinances now effective in
cities, but calves the door open to
any cities enacting its own local or
dinances.
The lash of the farmers of the
state was largely responsible for the
senate's action on the measure. The
agricultural districts contend the
extra hour of daylight interferes
seriously with the operation of
farms and milk dairies.

confident that they will compare
favorably with any stock exhibit.

Sharp's harness SHOP or Ferrells
tailor shop adjoining, completely
destroyed both places and their con-

a dance hall on the second floor.
These buildings were all on upper

There was high wind blowing
at the time and The Boise-Payette

State lumber yard across the alley
were saved only through the excep-
tional work of the fire department.
The. fire was under complete con-
troll by 4 O'Clock.
Later, at $50, another fire start

brick yard, presumably from flying
sparks, but this was soon under
control.

SECURE MANAGER

With the date set for opening
practice, the Blackfoot baseball team
is rapidly taking form. The lineup
is practically complete and altho the
names of the players are not avail
able at the present date, H. B. DAN
icls, father of the team, says he has
some of the best talent in the country
tied up. He has pitcher-manager,
catcher and several other players
lined up, who will be the peer of any
in the league and the grabbing of
the Yellowstone pennant is merely a
matter of few games for the local
team according to Mr.. Daniels.
The local team will been seen in
action for the first time on April Is
at the ball park. Every member Of
the team will be in Blackfoot on that
date and from then on baseball will
be the main topic of conversation on
every corner.
Tonight the heads of the Yellow
