Potato Show Held
In Idaho Falls; Big
Difference Shown

The past week there was potato
show held in Idaho Falls and accord
ing to County Agent Thomas there
was some fine exhibits displayed.
There were number Of community
collective exhibits and the first prize
was taken by York, second by New
Sweden and Washington third.
Baked potatoes were served each
afternoon from 3 to o'clock by the
girls Of the canning club.
Typical potato hills were on dis
play representing the good hills, the
small ones and the diseased plants.
In this comparative exhibition of
hills it can easily be seen that there
is a vast difference between the
healthy and diseased plants. To
compare with all these is the hill
selected plants and again the farm
ers can see how great q difference
there is and how much more profit
able IT. will be to have hill selected
seed.

ZERO OF LATE WAR
RETURNS TO FARM
Ranked Second Great.
est Hero for Capture
( of III Prisoners

IDABEL, Okla.-On a small farm
in McCurtain county, thirty-five
miles over rough roads from Idabel
Joseph Oklahombi, Choctaw Indian
is hunting and fishing, raising corn
and helping his neighbors at harvest
time. ~
"A half dozen persons in Idabel,
could be found who remembered ex-
actly what part Oklahombi played in
the world war, yet it was he who
captured I'll German prisoners
single handed, and was decorated
and cited by Marshal Petain OF
France as the second greatest Ameri-
can hero that the war produced.
Alvin York was ranked first.
Oklahombi, however, when ques-
toned by Mrs. G. G. Conlan of the
Oklahoma Historical society, who
also is Choctaw, saw nothing pecul-
lar in this lack of recognition, he
said. He did only his duty, he
added, and is now back home with
his wife and baby-carrying on as
his forefathers carried on. Okla
hombi is full blood.
His name taken from the Choctaw
means in their language man
killer" according to an interpreter.
1t is not directly connected with the
name Of Oklahoma, presented to the
state, which is a combination of two
Choctaw words.
Oklahoma was enrolled in Com
pany D, One Hundred Forty-first in
fantry, Twenty-sixth division as a
private, twenty-five years old. When
he enlisted he could not speak
English; but that he could speak the
language of warfare in fighting for
his country is evidenced by the word
ing of the citation from General Pc
tain, after which he received the
Croix de Guerre.
The citation reads: "Under a
violent barrage he dashed to the at
tack Of the enemy position covering
two hundred yards thru barbed wire
entanglements. He rushed on ma
chine gun nests, capturing Ill pris-
oners. He stormed q strongly held
position containing a number of
trench mortars, turned the captured
guns on the enemy and held said po-
sition for four days in spite OF con-
slant barrage Of large projectiles and
gas shells he crossed No MANS
Land many times to get information
concerning his wounded comrades. ="
Asked what he thought of the
army, with a smile he replied, "Too
much salute--not enough shoot"
Mrs. Conlan said.

COMMERCIAL TEACHERS ORGANIZE FOR
STANDARDIZATION OF COURSE IN IDAHO
Regular and Approved
Course Will be Given
Bushes SIS
Students

On Tuesday afternoon the teachers
of commercial courses in the nine
eastern counties Of Idaho organized
for the purpose of affiliating with
the other districts Of the state in the
task of standardizing the commercial
courses. There is q national organ
ization working on the same task,
and this state is the second one in
the nation to organize, Pennsylvania
being the first.
The work is being carried on
under direction Of Miss Lesetta L.
Erickson of Boise, who is in the en-
ploy of the state in. his work. The
officers elected for this district at
Dean Hogue Of Pocatello, president;
Miss Ida M. Edwards Of Arco, secre-
tary; Miss Aulta Larson of Ameri-
can Falls, treasurer. Miss Caroline
Overstreet of Blackfoot is chairman
of the executive committee. There
are fifty or sixty high schools in the
state that are teaching commercial
courses, and Trizes will be given for
the winners for best work under the
schedule adopted by the national
standardization board.
This means that business is being
recognized as a thing worth educat-
ing people for. 1t means that while
young people are learning to operate
typewriters and adding machines,
monographs, ediphone and other Of
flee machines and instruments, they
shall learn to operate them in the
best way, so that their work may be
efficient and when they change from
one office to another they do not
have to learn part of it over to con-
form to their practices. It will mean
that when a graduate applies for a
position in an office and shows his or
her record the person receiving the
application will know that it means
something definite in ability and not
merely an unknown quality.

Build House on Hill.

The cottage in the dell is all very
poetical and furnishes good de-
sign for the illustrated cover Of the
popular ballad, but the house that
is built on the hillside is superior
in every way and particularly has
It a distinct garden advantage over
other sites. Here in picturesque
levels the small plots Of ground hang
one above another in starlike fashion.
Delphiniums in blue, violet and hello
trope may crown the tier Of terraces,
at the base Of which plain bit Of
lawn borders on the street or raad-
way, edged with lockwood to give an
atmosphere Of veneableness reminis-
cent Of old-time gardens, fragrant with
lavender, southernwood and spicy
herbs.

much gratified at the hearty response
shown in this manner and in

the teachers were pleased with the
present conditions and the treatment
accorded them and took this oppor-
tunity of expressing it.
The county supe7;ntendents have
the selection of the place of meeting,
but last year they did the teachers
the honor to consult with them be-
fore casting their own votes, and the
teachers favored Blackfoot by very
large majority Of individuals and by
q county vote of five to four. The
teachers at this institute have been
profuse in expressions of personal
satisfaction with Blackfoot as place

STYLE AND PEP PUT
in SONG MEETING
Teachers Compliment
Blackfoot At Morn
ing Session

| At Wednesdays morning session
of the teachers, the leaders of music
Mrs. Thomas and Mrs. Patterson
stirred up some life and fun in the
audience in the following manner:
Mrs. Thomas, the pianist for the oc-
casion, before taking her seat at the
instrument, said to the audience,
"Mrs. Paterson is to be your leader
in this mornings singing, and hope
you will follow her closely. 1t makes
for so much better success. l hope
you will follow her as closely as did
little girl friend of mine at Idaho
Falls last week. When I met this
little friend / was wearing a rose,
and l took 1t off and gave it to her.
She looked up at me and said, Mrs.
Patterson gave me bunch Of roses" /"
The next time l met Laura l gave
her a dime, and she looked up at
me and said, Mrs. Patterson gave me
a dollar The next day met Laura
again and kissed her, and she
looked up at me and said, Mrs.
Patterson kissed me and papa too /
could not follow Mrs. Patterson as
closely as that, but perhaps you can.
When Mrs. Patterson took the
floor and was trying to get the audi
ence warmed up in singing she
taught them this:
"Some say that old Blackfoot she
amt got no style;
She's got style all the while
Style all the while;
Some say that old Blackfoot she
amt got no style, s .9.s
She's got style all the while,
All the while."
Some say that old Blackfoot she
amt got no pep; 3
She's got pep every step
Got pep every step H#
Some say that old Blackfoot she
amt got no pep;
She's got pep every step
Every STEP"
Some say that old Blackfoot ain't
got no jazz;
But we know she has
Yes we know she has.
Some say that old Blackfoot she ain t |
got no jazz &
But we know she has -,aa ts
Yes she has, she has.
Then it was applied in similar way
to the institute conductor, "Some
say that old Siders amt got no hair"
and by this time the audience was
thoroly mellowed up and ready for
other work. aa

CAR HITS BOY

A little Indian boy was slightly in
jured Wednesday by a car on Bridge
street. He was with his parents and
they avoided the approaching car,
but the little fellow lost his presence
of mind and ran back where the
driver was aiming his car to avoid
them, and thereby he was bumped.
The driver had the car under control
and the youngster was found to be
much scared and but little bruised.
