I'VE ARE ALWAYS ALERT"

At the anniversary banquet OF tn
of Oldest Inhabitants Wed
nesday night John Clagett Proctor rea
an original poem entitled. I'VE Are Al
ways Alert" It follows:
This city IL made Up Of folks
OF high and low degree,
Some, In the limelight always are,
While some you seldom see;
Some help to make this city grow,
While others lag behind
And reap the beuefts achieved
BY some one else's mind;
Some leave the work for George" to do,
And when he does his best
They kick. to show their gratitude
And that's no idle Jest;
Some lack initiative and
That real get-up-and-get. =.
And when others have succeeded
They haven't started yet;
But We. this great society,
OF men Of sterling worth,
Who point In many instances
To this place as our berth.
Have always been aggressive. put
Our shoulders to the wheel
Been the bulwark Of our city
Not waiting for appeal,
But always started rolling the
Ball to do some good,
To help the city fathers when
Their acts for justice stood;
We know they have a real mans job.
We envy not their lot.
And when they need assistance we
Are Johnny on the spot;
And, likewise, tits with pride that we
Uphold the city's fame,
Correct misleading statements which
Besmirch and mar its name.
Send out broadcast and advertise
fact few seem to note.
That half q million people
Are here denied a vote;
We nail this home where e'er We are.
And when we go on high
Well tell 1t to st. Peter
Or Jehovah, II He's nigh;
Another thing we'll tell our host
Beyond the pearly gate,
That our people want two senators
And not n delegate:
We have three grand Commissioners
To represent our views
II that was all we wanted, why
A delegate We choose?
He could not do as much as they
Not more. you must admit.
And We still remember Chapman
And how we all got "bit";
We simply ask In Justice to
Include our little say
And let us help to legislate
For taxes which we pay;
And so for this and other things
We work with all our might
To help make better citizens
Instill in them the right;
A1d Just to show we're on the job
Let tempest do its worst
We. will all. shake hands with Harding
On January first.

its power plants as now constructed
at American Falls, together with all
property and rights-of-way essential
to the construction of the American
Falls dam" Mr.. Swendson said In
addition they are exchanging certain
OF their present natural flow of water
rights for rights in the American
Falls reservoir. The present contem-
plated development will deprive the
company of some of its power at
American Falls and thus necessitates
the replacement of this power from
some other source. This replacement
will involve not only the construction
of additional generating stations but
transmission lines as well. AS con
sideration for this necessary new de-
velopment the company is to receive n
certain amount of cash.-Statesman.

War Declared on Rodents Following
Their Discovery In Large Numbers
Condition Demands Action

A meeting was held last night in the
Campbell and Burns neighborhood
southwest of American Falls for the
purpose OF outlining a fight to be made
against the squirrels which are too
thick for the safety of the growing
wheat crop. Poisoning will be resort
ed to in an organized way in an effort
to minimize any damage that might
be done. The grain in this section is
looking unusually good and the farm
ers do not care to have their yield cut
down by rodents.
Rockland Valley is reported to be
comparatively free from squirrels, due
to the concerted action of the enter
prising farmers in that section of the
county.
County agent Morrell plans to spend
next week in Arbon Valley where he
Will attack the squirrels with poisoned
bran and sawdust. Some of the squir-
rels in that valley are reported half
as large as sheep and Mr. Morrell is

In Well Played Game-Nothing
Scheduled For Sunday

Pauline played a good game against
American Falls Sunday at the Nata-
torium grounds but was unable TO
solve the delivery OF Compton during
the last innings Of the game. Pauline
began the First inning with two scores
the result OF infield errors and
couple of hits off Altmyer. American
Falls evened the score in her half OF
the first. The score was tied at three
all In the third and was four to six IN
the sixth in favor OF American Falls.
Four runs in the latter innings pul
the game on ice for the locals.
Dave Lusk pitched well for the Paul
inc team. His control was the best
seen on the local diamond this year.
He lacked speed but made up for the
lack OF It with his superb control. The
Pauline catching was weak In the
throwing end though the backstopping
was good.
Altmyer started for American Falls
and had enough on the ball to win
easily, had he been able TO control his
shots. Occasional errors I'm the Falls
infield kept him in hole most OF the
way Compton who relieved him was
hit quite freely but seemed more eff
fective in the pinches. Both pitchers
were well received by Stitt. American
Falls played loosely In the field at
times, but connected with the ball
enough times TO take a comfortable
lead In the scoring end. Walter Davis
