Believes i'm Government
Recognition of the Arts

"This country has made gr "a adj
vances in regard to good music ma in
having the works of masters pressINed
in the manySye have been In AmNSs

discussing the programs of summcr
music which ere being given in mosA
large cities of the United States this
season. 81 like conducting these con
certs at the great Stadium, with lt,i
thousands every night eager and en-.
thusiastic to hear good music.
"Such projects as the Stadium cor,
certs give the opportunity for present,
ing an enormous amount Of spian0.
literature of the very best type. Thot
enable the public 20 become famil,t
with many lighter works not heard dur
ing the winter season When | seesl
of music designated as lighter mual,
do not mean anything belit,ling. TN
me there are only two kinds Of music -
good music and bad music. Tho most
highly priced thing we can have in
music is the folk song A composition
doesn't have to be enormous and diff.
cult and long to be great or good. We
do not despise the daisy just because
we have the American Beauty rose. or
course, in the concerts Mt the Stadium
we give a liberal sprinkling of sym.
phonies. We play a symphony three or
| more times week. Personally. think
these out ofdoor, so-called popular
concerts are wonderful The applause
and attendance of the thousands at tho
Stadium show how they are appre-
ciated.
Great music in the United States Is
made possible through the generosity
and magnanimity of private citizens.
In some instances municipalities helr
support them. But what is really
needed in this country is some official
recognition of the arts from the Fed
eral government itself. 1t is strange
fact that the government of the
United States is the only governm emf
of the so-called civilized nations that
does not recognize the arts. The must
clan, the painter, the sculptor-none OF
these has any standing in Washington
THE bricklayer is probably more vel
come at the seat of government than
any artist, in SO much as he probably
belongs to a union that may WELD some
political power.
"Now, | hope that the day will corne
when the government of the United
States will give official recognition to
the arts. You may argue the youth
of the country as an explanation of its
lack of development along this line
Well, we always hear about the you'll
of the country when we point. out
something in which it is remiss, but
notice that this country does not
consider itself too young when it comes
to matters of peace terms and inter.
national politics and other things. Il
seems to NE it will be great da,
when this government comes to the
point of advancing great projects
along artistic lines and others, instead
of devotine so much energy and money
to prohibition, for instance.
Now, | don't want to sound to,
strenuous in finding fault. This coun
try is wonderful field for the ad
vancement of music and, as remarked
in the forty years since first cam,

In the spring of 1899 the late Henry
W. Ranger, CHANGING on Lyme. found
the motives he loved. ancient oaks and
rugged pastures of marsh land Strong
~ affected by the work Of that other
hano of painters who from 1880 made
the old French town of Baroizon we'll
known name throughout the world.
Lyme held Ranger firmly for years. and
his best work was done during that
period. His talent, combined with his
strong personality, drew many to him.
The same season saw Alphonse JON
gers, Arthur Dawson and Lewis Cohen
settled and at work at Lyme. Shortly
after, William H. Howe, Carleton Wig
gins, Will Howe Foote, Allen Talcott,
Frank Dumond. George Bcgert, Will

added to the group. A new element

IN THE DISTRICT COURT

! Court opened Monday morning
May 23rd. OF the seven criminal
cases on the calendar, it was only
necessary to try one case, that is the
case of the state VS.. Louie Sayko. in
which the defendant is charged with
marrying another mans wife. This
case was opened yesterday, and at
the time Of going to press had not
progressed far enough to be reported.
L. MOrikawa, who was charged
with unlawful possession of liquor,
was bound over to the district court
some time ago, under bail of $500.
When court opened and his case was
called the defendant failed to appear
and his bail was declared forfeited
by the court. The $500 will go into
the county treasury.
VIM. John and VIM. Hutchinson,
charged with unlawful possession of
liquor, both pleaded guilty and will
receive their sentences in a few DAYS.
Frank Harris, charged with grand
larceny, being accused of stealing a
saddle, horse, etc, pleaded guilty and
was sentenced to the state peniten-
tiary for a term of from one to four-
teen years. He is a young man who
apparently had started out in life to
make his living in this way.
John Lyon, charged with burglar
izing the hardware store of the Boise
Payette lumber company at Shelley,
pleaded guilty and was sentenced TO
the state penitentiary for a term of
from one to fourteen years.
A. l.. olt, charged with lewd CO.

STOCK RANGES IN
ARCTIC REGIONS
Noted Explorer Says Northland Could
Solve Meat Problem of World
Reindeer and Caribou Abound.

The so-called frozen Northland, ac-
cording to Vilhjalmur Stefansson,
the noted explorer who is to lecture
here on the second evening of the
Chautauqua, is in reality boundless
stock range capable of raising herds
that Will feed the world The bar
rem tundras. according to Mr.. Stef-
anssOn, reach out in limitless direc-
ton and may be had for the taking.
The stock That Craze on them. the
raindeer and the caribou need no
barns nor haystacks. The reindeer
provides for itself. Protected from
the northern wolf, it could be raised
in unlimited hundreds of thousands,
sufficient to feed the meat-eating
world.
This was one of the theories of
the Northland which was upset by
Mr.. Stefansson during his five great
years spent in the Arctic, Instead
of finding a bleak, barren country
he discovered a land with plenty of
food for the traveller, provided the
traveller learns how to obtain it. He
found land OF first class ranges,
rather than an eternal desolation OF
snow and ice. He found a land rich
in possibilities for future develop
ment along food-producing lines. In
his great illustrated lecture, "My
Five Years in the Arctic" Mr.. Stef-
ansson explodes many of the old the

RABGA1N DAY A SUCCESS.

Bargain Day, Saturday, proved a
wonderful success, both for the mer-
chants of Blackfoot and the buying
public. The farmers and townspeo-
pie were enabled to make some won
derful purchases Of articles which
are necessaries of life, and it enabled
the merchants to get acquainted with
many people with whom they had
not been doing much business.
Crowds of people thronged the
stores all day, and it is believed that
frequent repetition of this event
will lead to a better understanding
between the farmers and business
men.

BLACKFO0T WINS
3RD GAME SUNDAY
Idaho Falls and Blackfoot Play Game
Of Eleven Innings Before Deciding
Score is Made

Last Sundays base ball game be-
tween Idaho Falls and Blackfoot on
the Blackfoot diamond added one
more count for Blackfoot, toward the
winning of the championship of the
Yellowstone Base Ball league for the
present season. In this game it was
necessary to play eleven innings to
make decision, and the final score
stood four to five in favor of the
home team.
In the first inning Idaho Falls
made three scores and Blackfoot two
and it looked at this time like the
game was going to be nothing but
strike and run home. But in the
next inning both sides frightened up,
and no more scores were made ex-
cept the one by Howard Of Blackfoot,
which tied the game. During the
third and fourth innings no scores
were made, fifth, the visitors scored
again, and the home team again tiled
the game in the sixth. Then during
the seventh, eighth, ninth and tenth
Innings neither team scored, but in
the eleventh Thompson gave the
home team the score which won the
game.
According to the gate receipts
the attendance was COS, which shows
that local people are behind their
ball team. Now that Blalckfoot has
an excellent chance to win the cham
tpionship, the interest will no doubt
be greater than ever.

cialized-therefore the flow
ers were made in the very places
where ;ihe boys fought.
Let the school children hear of
the deeds of heroism of our soldiers
and ask them, as future citizens, to
pay homage to the gold star heroes.
They crossed the seas, they went to
France, to fight, to die, SO that we of
America would never know the hor-
rors of war at home. Untainted by
love of gain. solely for the love of
liberty and humanity, they kept up
the noblest traditions of American n
history.
Let us all therefore, on May 80
pay our tribute of respect and admir-
alton for Americas soldiers who SER
we'd in the late war, not forget ing
of course our heroes of former con-
fiicts. And let the emblem of that
respect be replica of the real poppy
that was made in France"

HONOR HEROES MAY 30.

On May 80, uniting in a splendid
spirit of brotherhood, the allied ma

roes OF the worlds war. America s
Decoration Day has been chosen by
the 1nterallied Veterans as the Gay
to pay homage to the dead. The

Mrs. Alfred Bulge, Idaho Chairman,
for the days observance, requests
that on May 80 everyone wear the
poppy which the American Legion
adopted at its last national conven-
tiOn as its memorial flower, "the
poppy of Flanders fields-the little
red poppy OF France-that grows
wild everywhere in France"
Through the cooperation of the
American Legion, replicas of the real
poppies will be offered for sale to be
worn on Memorial and Poppy Day.
says Mrs. Bulge. 'The real poppies
are too fragile to be transported, but
the American and French Children's
League has arranged the best SUBJ
stitute for the real flower, which is
the poppy made by the women of
France who knew our boys, by the
children who loved them, by the peo-
pie who now live in the very places
where Americans best fought and
won and where SO many sleep. The
profits from the sale of the poppies
will go to the relief of children in
devastated France. Memorial Day

inclined"

the days observance continues:

DONATE STOCK IN FAIR
ASSOCIATION TO COUNTY

A good number of stock holders
In the Bingham County Fair asso-
ciation having already donated their
stock to Bingham county, the county
agreeing to take care of and improve
the grounds, and a good number
more having signified their willing
ness to do the same, Mr.. H. A. Ben
son, secretary of the association, is
this week mailing to each of the
stock holders a copy Of the letter
which is printed below:
To Subscribers for Stock in the Bing-
ham County Fair.
Dear Sir: AS you are no doubt
aware, during the year 1920 a con-
tract was entered into with the Com
missiOners of Bingham county
whereby the fair grounds and build
ings became the property of Bing-
ham County, the commissioners ag-
reeing in the contract to pay to the
Bingham Co. Fair in two annual in
stallments the amount of the stock
subscriptions which approximates a
little over $4,000. Said payments
to be made December 31st, 1921 and
December 31st, 1922.
The proposition has been made and
approved 'by numerous subscribers
for stock in the Fair association that
all subscribers be asked to donate
their stock and not ask for repay
ment of same in the two annual in
stalments mentioned above. This
would place at the disposal of the
fair grounds committee now in
charge, about five thousand dollars
this year and the same amount for
1922 to make much needed IMPROVE
ments on the grounds.
This will be used in improving the
fair grounds, particularly the south
west corner which will be leveled
and seeded to grass, and also build
ing new iron fence between the
city park and the fair grounds such
as we have on the east side of the
fair grounds.
Thanking you in anticipation of
favorable reply in the matter, we are
Yours very truly.
