There is a plan being inaugurated
in Blackfoot looking to December 4
as Sunday when everybody is urg-
ed to attend some one of the chur-
ches of the city. Thinking men in
all the honorable callings of life
are noticing the great dearth Of
church attendance and are calling
upon the people to rally to a reviv-
al of the church going days Of their
parents. The church is the only
place where the people plan to leave
their business thoughts outside and
worship God. In these times of
world upheaval and common inter-
est as in the world war, this call
Is deemed most timely. Start next
Sunday.

SHALL WE CELEBRATE COM
PLETTON OF WATER SYSTEM :

A movement is on foot for q day
to throw open to the public the
doors OF the new municipal water
works for their inspection. as we'll al
to inform the citizens of Blackfoot
as to the value of the new system.
The new system comprises an in
vestment of almost a quarter of q
million dollars. It has been built
with the best of material and work
manship Throughout, with the idea
Of building for the future of Black
foot, as well as the present. The
system has been enlarged taking in
considerable more territory , than
the old plant.
AS yet the movement for this cell
ebration for the finishing Of this
great system has not grown to a
very large degree. but we feel along
with the promoters that such a day
is absolutely necessary for the best
interests Of Blackfoot We feel
that the people Of the community
would like to have a little informa-
ton as to the inside workings of
water system.
We are all proud to have one of
the best water works systems in the
state. One Of the most i'm
portant things city can have, IL
ample protection for its citizens ag-
ainst one OF the most deadly of home
destroyers
Some suggestion as to the date for
this 'open house" have been re-
ceived by the city dads among
which is Thanksgiving, and we feel
that no more ppropriate day could
be selected.

UNIQUE INVITATION

The public Of Blackfoot were in
vited to attend the services of the
Baptist church last Sunday morn
ing and evening By unique invi-
tation written on the large bulle-
tin bard just outside of the front
door. 1t read thus: Don't wait
until you die to come to church,
Come Sunday" Those who did come
were not disappointed in receiving
helpful and inspiring messages
from the pastors sermons.
Rev. Butler gave most convinc-
ing argument fr the spiritual in
vestment at the evening service. He
linked the usual material invest
ments of money. time, ability and
influence with honest, reliable men
of good judgment, also with the
ever ready quick rich schemes so
numerous at the present time, He
gave assurance OF one such invest
ment that gave quick returns with
suden profits Of blessings from One
who will help and cheer in the
greatest need and who stands back
Of every promise In the Bible. The
man Of Gallilee has never yet been
known to fail to pay in full all de-
mands upon the treasurer, and the
greatest men the void has ever
known gives united testimony that
Gods word assures Nntire aatis-
faction.
Rev. Butler Is forceful speaker
and is even now leading factor in
our community teaching the living
Christ, and participating in every
way possible to the making OF
Blackfoot better and more per-
feet town.

Proclamation
Throughout the world November
IL has become generally known and
accepted as "Armistice Day." This
year 1t has for the people Of Ameri-
ca an added significance, for on that
day will occur two events of histor-
ical Importance to this country
the interment at Arlington National
cemetery of the body of the un-
known American soldier, and the
opening at Washington, D. G. of the
International conference on the lin
itation of armament.
BY proclamation President Hard
Ing has requested us to cease our
customary activities ION Armistice
Day while We remember those who
gave their all for their country
and for humanity, and to rejoice
that peace has come again to our
beloved country. I ask that the
people of Idaho pause in prayertul
consideration that the peace SO
dearly bought may be perpetuated
upon a just and solid foundation of
righteousness laid at the confer
ence of disarmament; to breathe a
prayer Of grateful remembrance of
the defenders Of this country and to
render thanks to God for the great
blessings bestowed upon us, asking
that He grant His wise guidance to
those representatives of nations that
their conference may result in a
world at peace, world of stability
and prosperity.
Now, therefore, I, D. W. Davis,
by virtue of the authority vested in
me as governor, do hereby proclaim
November IL 1921, holiday in the
State of Idaho, and do earnestly rec
ommend and request that the citi-
zens therein observe the day in a
spirit befitting the momentous oc-
casion.
In witness whereof, / have here
unto set my hand and caused to be
affixed the great seal OF the State
of Idaho, at Boise. the capital, this
End day Of November, in the year of
our Lord one thousand nine hundred
and twenty-one.

Governor of Idaho.

BOOK NOTES FROM LIBRARY

During the week November 49,
10, booksellers and librarians all
over the country are placing special
emphasis on the right kind of read
ing for children. 1t is growing close
to the time for Christmas shopping
and less care and thought is given
to the purchase of children's books
than any other kind Of gifts. We
thing 20, book is always nice, :"
forgetting that there are books and
then there is printed matter.
The counters are filled with vol
umes poor in print, illustrations and
make up generally worthless at lit
erature and weakening to the moral
fibre which because they are la
beled Boy Scouts or Camp Fire Girl
series or some other good substan-
tial name are purchased and pitched
into the Christmas stocking of the
unsuspecting juvenile, mere mental
pap when the mind needs a tonic.
Apply three tests in choosing a
book. Is it good from the printers
and artists view point?
Is it good literature?
Is it an inspiration to higher
ideals?
If we can't afford to buy the
book that passes these tests it Is
better not to buy at all. Poor print
destroys the eyesight; poor liter
ature destroys the taste for the
great books that are the heritage of
the ages and poor fdeals desroy the
soul.
But IL we can afford to buy let
us buy generously. In making the
household budget certain sum set
aside for books is almost as neces-
sary as the provision for bread and
butter.
Build up the home library with
good books that will be a mighty
factor in the formative period of
youth.
What lovely associations linger
about the books of our childhood;
how we thrill at the touch of the
fat brown Alcotts, the wierdly illus
trated Pilgrims Progress or the
Dore Bible pictures! And If these
old fashioned books meant so much
to us, what a part the masterpieces
OF the printers art should play in
the life of the child of today.
The library places at the dispos-
al of the public lists of the best
juveniles compiled by the foremost
children's librarians OF the coun-
try. Make out your Christmas or
der early so that your dealer may
send for the book il 1t is not in
stock.
Through wisdom is house
butlded, and by understanding is it
established and by knowledge shall
the chamber be filled with all pleas
ant and preciaus riches"

ANOTHER BIG ATTRACTION
COMING TO THE ORPHEUM

Manager Heasley has announced
the closing of the contract with the
Metro Pictures Corporation for an
other large Metro picture produc-
ton played and staged by the same
cast and force OF stars as pictured
"The Four Horsemen of the Apoc-
alypse" which closed their three day
engagement last week. The new
play is called "The Conquering
Power" and is take from Balzac's
novel "Eugenic Grandet" and the
story runs thus:
"The Grandet Brothers have am
assed fortunes-one by speculation
in Paris, the other by miserliness
in the provincial town of Noyant.
The Parisian's wealth is swept away
and he kills himself, leaving his son
Charles, spoiled dandy OF the
boulevards, to the charity of his
miserly brother. Charles travels to
Noyant, where he meets his charm
ing young cousin, Eugene. A sim
pie, unworldly girl she is fascinated
by his metropolitan fineness. But
her father lustful for gold, packs
the impoverished young man off to
Martinique. Charles carries with
him Eugenie's love- and some thou
sands of francs that the girl had Sc
cretly given him. When the secret
of this gift is learned old Grandet,
in a frenzy, locks the girl in his
room, and writes to Charles, who is
struggling to make his fortune in
the trop1c island, that Eugene is
engaged to be married. So begins
the tremendous drama of love and
greed, founded upon Eugene
Grandet," one of the greatest stor-
les of Balzac, and translated to the
screen for Metro by Rex Ingram.
A production that has been acclaim
ed In New York as rivaling the In
gram production OF Ibanez's 1.-THE
-Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. +"
