other. Some of them are spending
large sums of money in advertlsings
while others are spending practical

Reports from the various coun-
lies are that the county boards OF
education are setting on foot a
progressive program for education
al advancement. Strong county su-
uerintendents are being elected ev-
ervwhere, educators who have the
vision of the great problems con-
fronting the schools of the state,
and in every instance the boards
are selecting the strongest men or
women who can be found to under
take the effective realization OF TINS
program. In few weeks all OF
these superintendents will be call
ed together for ten days course
of instruction at the State Normal
in Conway. There travelling ex-
penses will be paid and State Supt.
j. L. Bond will insist upon the at
tendance of every one of the 10
superintendents of the state.
The forward looking programs OF
the county boards of education is
being correlated with the work of
the Arkansas Educational Associa-
ton. A citizens section of this or
ganization is now being organic
throughout the state for the express
purpose of redeeming Arkansas from
its position at the bottom of the
list of states in educational equip
ment.
The contest for nomination as
State Auditor developed at the last
minute into a three cornored race.
Since the withdrawal several weeks
ago of C. C. Smith, the race has
been between A. j. McAmis and
Ollie Rieff. The day before the
ticket closed, however, James Guy
Tucker, a young man from Little
Rock, entered into the race as con-
tender for the place. Mr.. Tucker
was in the army during the World
War and served one year with the
A. E. F. in France.

CARD OF THANKS

Through the medium of the press,
we wish to express our deep apprecia-
tion to the many kind friends who so
thoughtfully aided us at the time of
the loss of our dear one. From the
moment of the accident when ply
sicians stepped forward to offer aid,
through the trying days to the time
when the last rites were performed,
kind friends supported us at every
moment.
To those who came to us personal
ly, to all those who rendered aid and
sympathy, to these who sent consol-
ing kilograms, flowers and other
things of great comfort, to the
friends and neighbors, lodges and the
business associates at home and in
distant places, we wish to express
our heartfelt thanks.

under construction and other garages
at Shelley and Aberdeen.
There we're six brothers and it was
their ambition to establish an auto
mobile industry in this valley in
which they could all be represented,
and as fast as possible they were
building to that effect. r. G. Bills
was their natural leader and the
head of the business. They have
taken turns going east to study the
business from the factory standpoint
and two of the brothers just returned
recently from a course of instruc-
ton there covering several weeks.
Upon r. G.. Bills devolved the main
burden of engineering the business,
for during the war, three of the
brothers went into the service and
about seven months ago two of them
were called on missions-one to
Massachusetts, and the other to Mary
land, where they were laboring at
the time of the accident to their
brother. They both came home for
the funeral and one or both of them
may remain to help carry on the
business, the older one, w. e. Bills,
being under consideration to act as
manager.
R. G.. Bills had large acquaint-
ance with business houses in the
factory states and in the west. He
was the vice-president of the Inter-
mountain Automobile Dealers as
ISOLATION and something of the stand
ing he had received in the business
world is shown by the fact that tele-
grams and floral offerings were sent
by the association above named, the
Howard Cooper Corporation Of Port
land, Ore, the Botterill Auto COM
pany of Salt Lake, the Oldsmobile
dealers of Salt Lake, the Hudson
Motor company of Detroit, the And
erson Lumber company Of Logan,
the Goodyear Tire & Rubber COM
pany Of Twin Falls, the Bonneville
Auto company of Idaho Falls, the
Ford Dealers of Southeastern Idaho,
the Ford Motor company Of Salt
Lake, and floral offerings from local
people such as the Blackfoot Com
mercial club, the Blackfoot Rotary
club, the auto dealers of Blackfoot,
the employees of the Bills Auto COM
pany, the employees Of the Standrod
bank, the Blackfoot Hardware &
Electric company and the Knights of
Pythias lodge. There were floral Of
ferings and kilograms from various
individuals both at home and abroad.
Tribute to Mr.. Bills
There is nothing that succeeds like
success and when R. G. Bills came
to this county and started in bust
ness with a small capital and devel-
oped larger and larger business
from year to year, there came the
kind of man that Bingham county
had been wishing for. He was a
hustler and man of vision, laying
hold and developing service and

wealth out Of what the rest of us did

wealth out of what the rest of us did
not recognize and seize upon.
In every year of his business life
here he handled all that he could
swing with the capital and organiza-
ton he possessed and with each sue
ceeding year he had more capital
and a stronger organization to work
with. In the present year he was
erecting an $4,000 building a large
portion of the venture being done on
borrowed capital. He went In for
all that he thought he could take
care Of If he lived and he carried life
insurance to make the venture mod
erately safe If he lost his life. He
had just completed the top story Of
the best bushes building in town
when the accident happened. The
five brothers propose to carry on the
enterprise according to original plan
just as nearly as it is humanity pos
sible. They and the people of Bing-
ham county have sustained a great
loss in his death. The fate of the
enterprise lies in the hands of the
Ave brothers and the people of Bling
ham county. If it is success it will
be manument to the memory of R.
G.. Bills and the other Bills brothers.
The fate of any enterprise Is always
in the hands of the people in the ter
ritory served. If the five Bills broth
ers shall maintain the service and
carry on the business according to
the former standard, the people of
Bingham county will take pleasure
in patronizing their houses and CIV
ing them the volume of business
needed to make the enterprise q sue
cess. Their activities in this county
have been good thing for the
county and with the original plan
carried out, will continue to be a
good thing for the county as we'll as
an incentive to all young men in
business of any kind to go in and do
their best. What the six Bills broth
ers have done, the five Bills brothers
can continue to do. It would be
distinct loss to the people of Bling
ham county, if the venture should
fail. The people of this county will
observe the operations of the firm
with much interest, and will share
and rejoice in the success of this es-
sential industry.

U. OF |. REPORTS
Big REGISTRATION
State School Enters
Upon New Year With
Bright Prospects

UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO, Mos
cow-With total enrolment ap-
proximately 20 per cent higher than
any registration in its previous his
tory any with freshman class which
exceeds by thirty per cent the largest
incoming group of past years, the
University of Idaho enters upon its
present collegiate year with bright
prospects.
"The increase in new students
virtually all of whom are freshmen
is particularly gratifying" said P.
H. Soulen, chairman of the commit
tee on admissions this morning. "For
the two days of registration our ad-
mission committee was swamped
with work and we continued to re-
ceive newcomers thruout the week.
Zone encouraging feature of the
enrolment, from the standpoint Of
the admission committee, was the
fact that most Of the new students
came prepared with the proper Gre
dentials. There were few delays be-
cause we seldom found 1t necessary
to investigate at length the status
of students seeking to matriculate.
"Our registration Of freshmen was
particularly strong from the south
ern part of the state, several south
Idaho schools which in past years
had not been strongly represented
on the campus sending unusually
large delegations"
Lindsey hall, the new mems DORM
tory completed this year, has been
filled to overfowing, but the prompt
response Of Moscow citizens has en-
abled every undergraduate on the
campus to find room promptly
Most Of the fraternity and sorrity
houses are crowded to capacity.
