These noted spir- itualists are not alone entertaining, but supply food for thought for every slzep- tic who couples this cult with "fakery'' and deception. yet who demand proof of the most convincing character.
 Those who value an attraction by the admissions charged may remain away until told by friend or acquaint- ance to attend, as the scale for Phoe- nix is absurdly small but the chief de- sire is to attract utmost capacity al every demonstration, rather than half houses at higher prices.
 The matinees, daily, will be 25 cents, with children under 10 years of age at 10 cents. The night scale will be 50 cents for the entire first floor, 8 cents for the first balcony and g cents for the second balcony. These prices are all plus the war tax. It should also be borne in mind that seats will be un- reserved at all performances.

cial supremacy of the Gate City. We
are glad to have the sons and daugh
tiers of Bingham county come dowr
here to attend school at the Techni
cal institute and live among oul
neighbors, the people of Pocatello
But we don't want Pocatello to have
yol folks every year for as long a:
We can remember. They are foun
dered on your sweet company and
we are hungry to have you come and
spend a'week with us. We feel that
it is our turn to have you and We
hope that you will grant us our wish
for October, 1921.
"You might think that after hav.
ing builded these fine houses and
supplying good automobiles that our
men would all be broke; not so. We
have expended a vast amount Of
money on fine graded roads for you
to ride upon.
Through our representatives we
have sent down to Wall Street and
borrowed big blocks of money to still
further extend our country roads and
top coat their surfaces with clay and
crushed rock. When you are engaged
in your work and business sessions
we shall not disturb you, but all the
time that you are out of those ses-
sions we shall extend you the oppor-
tunity to ride upon our country
roads in our twin skies driven by our
gallant men. For all of you who like
cider, we shall have it ready for you
II you like sweet cider, then sweet
cider it shall be. If you like it with
slight bead on, you shall have it
with the bead. We have it in all
grades from one day old up to six
days old. We believe that when it is
six days old it develoDes a kick to
it that has three quarters of one per
cent and then we throw it out. What
ever we have at our command we
wish to share it with you, and now
good people, for the time that you
have so generously accorded me, and
for the close attention you have given
me I sincerely thank you"
Mr.. Cleare and Mr.. Trego passed
out of the door together and as soon
as it closed behind them, they took
vote and it carried for Blackfoot
unanimously.
Adding to
The Majority.
1t so happended that another dele
cation that was in session at that
time and whose vote we hardly ex-
pected to get for Blackfoot, had
voted in favor of Blackfoot so it
came thru with a safe majority. In
the official vote on Friday morning
the same vote was confirmed by the

Trego in to answer one more ques-

1t stood officially six to three in favor
of Blackfoot.

Information.

study Of the whole social and com
mercial outlook and the official ar.
rangements that have to be made by
educators handling the work fol
Blackfoot so that for the next twelve
months they could keep the Black.
foot people informed as to what
they have to do and when to do it.
What The
Teachers Are;
There are $4,000 teachers in the
United States and 81, 100000 pupils
Taking the teachers and pupils as a
fractional part of the population,
they are one-ffth or one in every
five. During the third week Of o.
tober in 1921 education will be the
dominant feature in Blackfoot. If
$50 teachers are present, according
to statistics, 1873 of them will be en-
gagged in other business or other vo-
cations in year from that time. If
Blackfoot makes surprising impress
sion upon them a large number of
the 1873 persons are liable to become
citizens of Bingham county. Most of
them are young and better prepared
for the work of life than the aver
age person.
What The
Teachers Do.
With the school teachers it has
developed to a custom for them to
do their shopping on institute week.
In. a general way the town where
they hold institute is a better shop
ping place than the places they come
from, for many of them come from
smaller towns, villages and settle
ments where there is little oppor-
tunity for shopping.
According to information gathered
by the Commercial Club the $50
teachers acting in about the custo-
mary way would spend $4,000 in
Blackfoot during institute week. If
we treat them right they will bring
wealth of social life and fun and
optimism that will be worth great
deal to our population land will be
especially valuable to the sons and
daughters of this community.
In general way those already
living in Blackfoot and within short
drive of Blackfoot so that they might
stay at home at night and just have
their usual expenses. would save $50
apiece as compared with having to
go to Pocatello for the week. That
would make a saving to the COM
munity of $3.50 that would remain
in Bingham county instead of being
taken out to Bannock county, if it
were held at Pocatello.
1t is estimated that the commit
tee having this matter in charge will

and return. When people get on the
cars to come to Blackfoot from that
country they are very likely to keep
right on going until they get to one
of the larger places.

spend a thousand dollars of Black
foot money to handle the institute.
Pocatello has usually expended less
than that, the amount being $500
for 1920, but Blackfoot has resolved
that it will handle the matter with
q more generous hand than 1t has
been handled recently at Pocatello.
They want to do it so just because
they want to do things we'll. They
want to do it that way because they
think it will give better satisfaction
and because it will pay to give salts

because they believe that as an adver-
Using proposition the few hundred
dollars extra expended to make it
highly satisfactory will have great
value to the whole community by
giving the town such good name
that all these teachers will be boos-
ters for Blackfoot.

BONE DRY CAPITAL NEARLY DRY
Topeka May Be Out of Water Unless
Bonds Are Voted Tuesday.

The seriousness of Topeka's water
situation and need of the proposed
filtration plant to be voted upon No
vember 2, was summed up tersely by
Elmer F. Strain at the Republican
mass meeting at the auditorium Mon
day night when he said:
Topeka. the capital of the original
bone dry state, is about out of water"
Topeka could hardly exist with less
water than is furnished the city at
present, but unless immediate steps
are taken to replenish the supply To-
peka will be in grave danger of fire
damage without sufficient water pro-
lection. and may even be thirsty,
Strain said. The filtration plant is an
immense concrete structure that will
require months of time for installation,
so that it is important that work begin
almost Immediately on its construc-
lion. Delay would be disastrous, those
who have investigated the matter
agree.
Strain represented the civic water
committee, composed of representa-
tives of civic clubs of the city. which
has worked with the city commission,
many competent engineers and water
experts to arrive at solution of the
city's water problem.

ton from capital and of approval from
labor.
Whether labor really voted the
Democratic ticket in 1916 was at least
a moot question. The big industrial
centers of the East went Republican
as usual. thus indicating conclusively
that the labor vote was at least divid-
ed there. On the other hand. there
seemed to be no doubt but that labor
in many western states was faily solid
for the Democrats. The railroad men,
especially in the West, voted for Will
son in large blocks. This was perhaps
the nearest thing to a "class vote
which had ever been cast in the United
States No one thought much about il
at the time, but with the intensification
of class feeling that the war brought
about, and the recent formation of a
Farmer-Labor party, it begins to be-
come apparent that. for better or for
worse. parties based upon class and
occupational interest are almost GER
tain to supersede the ancient and new
largely meaningless division into
Democratic and Republican parties.

Womanliness In Business.

rid's Highest Paid Woman WE1ssS.

Practically always a woman sue

But while sex has no place in bust
mess, womanliness has, and a girl can
bring no more valuable asset TO ner
employer than just the qualities that
she would use in being a good house
wife.
There is cleanliness and orderliness,
to begin with. She can see that clean
ers do their duty, and taht an office- is
