from West Bridge street to the Snake
river bridge, from North Main street
to the sugar factory and from South
Broadway to the city limits on to
the Blackfoot river. 1t is our under
standing that part of the cost OF the
bitulithic paving of the Fort Hall
macadam is to be paid out of the
bond money.
r. E. Conklin, the contractor, who
is making the excavation for the
Bills garage in Blackfoot made appl1-
cation to the county commissioners
for the rental of some of the wagons
or trailers for hauling dirt while the
county was not using them and he
was allowed to use what he wanted
of them upon the payment of 25c
each per day. These wagons cost
about $3.50 each. The county pays
a rent of $500 month to the state
For the use of trucks valued at $4,000
each. These trucks have not been
very satisfactory They were built
in different places and assembled for
the use of the government and not
very good material was used. The
gears and pistons wear out quickly
and easily and the county has to keep
them in repair besides paying the
$1o rental whether they are being
used or not. The Nash-quad trucks
do not show the wear that the gov
eminent trucks do. They do not re-
quire repairs and there is not the loss
of time while they are being repaired.
An effort is being made to have the
matter of depreciation fixed upon
these trucks so that certain per-
centage shall be charged off each
month for depreciation until it ap-
propriates the full value of the truck
and it is then left in the possession of
the county with no charge against
the county for the property. When
the depreciation covers the original
value placed on the trucks they
cease to be property on the books of
the government. In that way the
county may reach the point where it
ceases to pay the rental and if the
cost of upkeep is not too great the
county may not lose any by using
them.
The construction work on the
bitulithic paving on the Fort Hall
macadam will probably begin about
the middle of March if we do not
have another section of winter set
ting in by that time.

Why Americans
Should Attend Church
By James d. Gillian

From a source most unexpected by
many folks there comes this advice.
1t is from the Wall Street Journal
and is telling it's readers why people
should attend church:
What America needs more than
railway extension, and western irri-
cation and low tariff and bigger
merchant marine and new navy is a
revival of piety-the kind that father
and mother used to have, a piety that
counted it good business to stop for
daily family prayer before breakfast
right in the middle of harvest, that
quit the field work half an hour
earlier on Thursday night to get the
chores done in time for prayer-meet-
ing. That is what we need now to
celan this country of filth, and graft
and greed, petty and big, worship
of big lands and fine houses and high
office and grand social functions. :"
America is a country unique in
many things and utterly unlike in
some respects any other. America
as a state leans heavily on the
shoulder of the church to which it is
no manner genetically related. 1t
trusts absolutely the church and it's
ministry. Why is it, did you ever
think, that the property of the re-
ligious denominations is untaXed?
The reason is that the state is doing
bargain-counter business with the
church. 1t is giving a cent and asks
a dollar, too. There is nothing at all
little about the state. 1t is out for
business and ought to be; the state
looks on the church as the biggest
policeman in the whole country. 1t
knows that the amount of tax the
churches pay would not, in their alb
sence begin to pay enough to keep
peace enforced where now it is kept
gladly and automatically. Every
church spire pointing heavenward is
worth a dozen policemen; this the
state knows.
The state expects the church to be
place where the people hear such

FINANCIER GIVES
ADVICE ON BUYING
Advises Everybody to
Stop Specializing
and Save Money
for Future

A writer of national reputation,
writing for bankers and advising
them on the business situation says
to stop specializing; stop buying
stuff that you don't need and don't
have to buy. Stop buying luxuries
when the plain practical things will
do you. Stop running accounts at
the stores if you can possibly pay the
cash, and if you can't pay the cash
now you never can. When prices
are rising it is easy to get in debt,
but awfully hard to pay them off
when prices are sinking, and prices
will take turn and be on the down
trend before very long, maybe within
the year and maybe sooner. Some
things have already taken the turn
~but most of them are still holding
firm because of the scarcity of the
goods.
He says the working man is going
to suffer terribly when prices take
turn, because wages will drop early.
All the time the government has been
hiring men and paying them on the
cost plus" plan, employers have and
workmen have been lax about eff
ficiency and high production per hour
of service. Production has fallen so
low it will be very difficult for en-
plOyers to stay in position to EN-
ploy at all, and when men do not en-
ploy, working men cannot get jobs.
1t is up to them all to cultivate eff
fiency and increase production all
they can and in that way cut down
the cost per unit in production. A
man having money to engage in man
ufacture or any Of the things that
capital does, can rather easily lie
still and play safe during the period
of the downward trend of prices, and
thereby avoid the risk of heavy loss,
but the working men cannot sus-
become adjusted, because they must
make their living all the while, which
capital does not have to do. 1t is
more important to the working man
to increase production at low cost
than it is to the emplyer.
People should not delude them
selves with the idea that easy jobs
at high wages will continue, for there
will be change, and there should
be something laid aside for the rainy
day. The day we become hard-up, is
the day we shall look back on the
present happy-go-lucky eXtrvagant
way of doing things and wish we had
some of that money saved up for
present use.

instruction as will make them love
law and order and desire to lead
clean and upright lives. The state
expects that the public shall hear
there the word of God himself regu-
larly read and clearly eXpounded,
from the cradle to the grave" and
on the Lords day.
Therefore, while there is no such
law on any statute book and should
never be there, the state expects that
on the Sabbath day all the citizens
should attend the services of some
one of the houses of worship which
the state keeps open and alive for
that denomination, and there should
be no difference which it is. In all
and any of them the citizen will hear
teaching that will make him better
man, neighbor and citizen. This is
proven by the long and careful CEN
suses taken continually by the Of
ficials of prisons.
Every man would be better men,
Der of the community in which he
lives. He would be better patriot
because he is meeting the expecta-
lions of his country. He would then
not break that tender commandment
Remember the sabbath day to keep
it holy" (holy being pure Saxon
word meaning wholly.)
He would then not be doing bust
ness on the Sabbath, taking his Sum
day trips to sell insurance, buy
cattle or hay; planning for an ordin-
airy or extraordinary piece Of work.
He would be lengthening his own
brittle thread of longevity and MAX
ing himself better able to do the
work of his calling on the lawful and
moral days for labor.

MYSTERY CLUB HAS
ANNUAL MEETING
Reports Received on
Work Accomplished
and Plans Laid
for Future

The Mystery club held it's annual
meeting and election of officers on
Saturday evening that being the near
est business date to Washington
birthday. The old bunch was there
with good reports of work accom-
plished and determination for the
future. President Watchandseeum
was reelected as was also Chief
Sitanfetchum, but one committee
had a vacancy that had to be filled
with new man, as the retiring men,
Der was unable to act on account of
failing health. There were three ap-
plicants on the waiting list, and one
of these was accorded a place on the
committee Of swiftactors.
At the last meeting it was pro-
posed that the work of the club be
extended to apply to autotakers as
we'll as to packageaters, but a dis
agreement developed over the mat
ter Of penalties. One committeeman
insisted that he did not want to be
responsible for what might occur II
somebody made a mistake in the
identity of the culprit and punish
ment were meeted out to the wrong
person. Just when everything seemed
setteled, this grave subject arose and
a postponement was taken to afford
time for Chief Sitanfetchum to study
modes of operating and report back
on the feasibility Of administering
absolute punishment correctly to
autotakers. At the annual meeting he
asked for more time to test out his
theories of execution. In replying to
a statement that capturing packa-
geaters and curing them was prac-
teal, but catching autotakers and
curing them on the spot with an abb
s0lute cure, was not q thing they
coul do, Chief Sitanfetchum re-
minded the club Of the original fact
that Washington crossed the Dele
ware when good men said 1t could
not be done, and that this club had
been organized on Washington's
birthday to cure an evil which the
merchants and police department had
said for years could not be done, but
which, nevertheless had been cured
and he predicted had better stay
cured or the offenders would be
mighty sorry. He said he believed
he could come into the next meeting
with tested plan that he could re-
commend, and which they would be
unanimous in adopting and acting
upon.
The time and place of the next
meeting is known only to the club
members. It is now just entering
upon its third interim, and it's men,
bers are well satisfied with its work.
The press is mot permitted to report
further, and no member Will give out

Navy Makes Plans
For Huge Dirigible

WASHINGTON, Feb. 11.-Plans
of the navy department for the con-
struction of the largest superdirig-
IDLE in the world, were presented to
the house of naval affairs committee
today by Captain Thomas T. Craven,
director of naval aviation. He asked
for an appropriation of $2,70O,000
for this purpose.
The specifications of the proposed
aerial dreadnaught, the committee
was told, call for length Of "a feet
fifty feet greater than the giant craft
now being built in England for the
American navy. The airship now
under construction in England ad
its sister ship now being built by
the navy department at Lakehurst,
N. ]. are the same size as the largest
British vessels Of this kind.
The new vessel will require at
least year to build. It will have a
capacity Of 100000 cubic feet Of
gas and will require about 100000
annually for maintenance, it being
necessary to replace the outer cloth
covering each year. Helium, the
