The New York Giants won the

day by defeating the Yankees by a
score of 13 to 5. The Yanks scored
their runs in the first half of the
third inning and the Giants came
back in their half and tied the score.
Shawkey started on the mound for
the American League players, but
was relieved by Quinn, who pitched
until the seventh inning when he
was relieved by Collins. In the same
inning Collins was relieved by
Rogers who finished the game.
Ruth and Schang were both taken
from the game in the eighth inning.
The Yanks were unable to stop
the hitting streak of the Giants,
which started in the seventh frame.

EW OBJECTIONS
Good Advertising to
Have Teachers Meet
". In Blackfoot

For the further information of
people desiring to know what bene-
fit the institute will be to Blackfoot,
we offer this: s&
Flight hundred teachers paying
average room rent will make $500 a
day. The same number eating three
meals costing about So cents each
makes $1,000 a day, or a total OF
$4,000 a day for meals and rooms.
Five days at that rate makes $4,000
left in the town, mostly among the
families, but also as much Of it left
among hotels and eating houses as
they can possibly accommodate. This
money will in turn be spent by the
families in paying debts and buying
such things for the home as people
usually spend pin money or money
they get by some extra effort in the
home. Nt#A f$
II none of the teachers spend any
money for anything else, then $lO,-
900 is the amount the town will re-
ceive for their goods and service.
The town has raised a little over
$1,000 for the occasion and large
part Of it will be spent in the. town
putting on the institute.
If the teachers should spend an
average of weeks wages apiece for
hats, clothing, shoes, toilet articles
and other things they use, then that
would add $4,000 to the amount
left in town by them, bringing the
total to thirty thousand. &$

Blackfoot High Wins
From Aberdeen By
A Big Score Friday

The Blackfoot high school football
team won from Aberdeen Friday by
score of 27 to z. The teams are
pretty evenly matched according to
weight, but the local boys have had
little more experience. a
Aberdeen received the ball at first
and the local team held them for
three downs when Aberdeen fumbled
and the ball was recovered by Black
foot and Taylor playing half back
carried it over for the first touch
down. Aberdeen again received and
after considerable work made their
only touchdown on a fake play. Ray
Stephens made Blackfoot's second
touchdown on long end run and
the third one was made on a line
plunge. Blackfoot blocked and
punted in the later part of the game
and Stuart recovering the ball car
ried it over for the last touchdown.
Stephens made three goal kicks out
Of four during the game.
Blackfoot will meet Idaho Falls

game is expected as Idaho Falls Fri

buildings and shedg we, can squeeze
thru another year. y Educators are
clamoring for more space. ~. v..s
If the farm bureau building Is to
be erected at the southern angle, 1t
will add much to the beauty and at
tractiveness OF the place besides
simplifying matters for both man
agements. If 1t is not to be built
for d year or two it might be better
to arrange the fences SO the conces-
sions can be handled on that plat
and close the slanting part Of the
street during the week of the fair.
That would relieve the congestion
where the most of the concessions
were this year ,and would allow q
clearing out of the spaces under the
grandstand. Another row of hog
pens reaching part Of the length Of
the present ones, and just south of 1t.
is recommended for next season.

MANY New Exhibitors
Will Attend Fair to
Be Held Here
s.rt Next Year
CONSIDER CHANGE
More Grandstand and
Bleacher Room \
Needed

e. J. Fjeldsted and F. e. Seeger
spent some time last week studying
the Utah state fair and their methods
of operating, the size and shape OF
their grounds and buildings, and
came home with clearer view OF
what is going to be needed at Black
foot. .ia1
They kept hearing such glowing
accounts OF the Southeastern Idaho
fair wherever they went, and so
many exhibitors made declaration
that they were going to exhibit at
Blackfoot next year, it becomes plain
that we shall have to make the ex-
tensions to the buildings that were
insufficient this year. It will be re-
membered that we used tents and
temporary buildings and there were
many exhibits that were brought In,
but never unpacked because there
was no place to put them. .f
\ AT the Utah fair there was an ex-
hibit of cattle and especially Of dairy
cattle that surpassed everything
these visitors had ever seen before.
Utah has some very great dairy COM
munities, and the Snake river valley
with the cheapest and most abundant
dairy feeds in the world should be
getting into the business strong In
stead of importing dairy products. A
canvass of the exhibiting dairy stock
at Salt Lake showed that we are 60
ing to have big exhibit OF them
here next year and preparation must
be made for it.
Fjeldsted and. Seeger studied the
question of grandstand and bleacher
space and decided that our best
means of solving our probiemsWill pe
to take off the unsatisfactory roof
and extend the seating capacity up
and back about seven rows OF seats,
and put on different shaped roof.
With this addition 1t will make the
booths under the grandstand large
enough to convert it into a machin-
ery show and thus the housing OF
fine machines will be accomplished.
It has been very unsatisfactory hav-I
ing those exhibits in the open with
only a roof to protect them. II the
length of the grandstand were in
creased it would shut off much OF the
beauty of the view of the grounds
for the year, and Seeger and Field
sted do not think it would be ap-
proved. They think it will be neces-
sary to greatly enlarge the space for
showing agricultural products,
sheep, cattle, hogs and machinery
There is plenty of room in the east
ern part of~-the grounds for new
sheds and barns, and by the expendi-
ture of few thousand dollars in

New Wells Tested !
and Are Connected
With Water Mains

The new wells are now being used
to supply the city with water. The
second we'll was given an official
test Thursday and after being used
long enough to clear the water 1t
was connected with the mains.
The old pumping plant was shut
off and the new pumps set in motion
filling the tank. three times. They
have since been supplying the water
used in the day time and shut off in
the. evening to avoid keeping an
extra pump man. The automatic
pumps at the old plant then keep up
the water supply during the night.
With the stream that Is supplied
by these two new wells and the new
pumps 1t is safe to say that there
will be no fire in Blackfoot that can
not be handled.
The erection of the new tank is
going on and the tower was COM
pleted last week. There is consider
able more work to placing the tank
because of the number of rivets that
have to be put In.
