BLACKFOOT BOYS
WIN SUNDAY GAME n !
Winning Run was Made
In the Eleventh
Inning /, !,

The Blackfoot team hung another
scalp on their belt Sunday when they
defeated Idaho Falls by score OF
five to four. The game called for
extra innings and every one was full
Of interest and close plays.
Idaho Falls made three runs in
the first inning and 1t looked like it
might be hit and run game. Owens
of Blackfoot was the first man up
and he knocked sout a three bagger
and scored on Epplings single. De-
Kay walked and stole second, Ep-
ping scored and DeKay was left on
third. The score then stood three
to two in favor of the Shamrocks.
In the second inning Idaho Falls re-
ceived no runs and Howard Of Black
foot walked and by sacrifice hits of
Bell and Vaught tied the score. ~
The Shamrocks made their fourth
run in the fifth frame and Blackfoot
tied the score again in the seventh.
In this inning Lind pitching for
Idaho Falls was replaced by Jordan.
Each team made two errors and
Idaho Falls six hits while Blackfoot
made eight.
The winning run was made in the
eleventh inning when Thompson hit
out two Dagger and Thorstenberg
brought him in with clean hit
thru second.
Blackfoot now has solid hold on
the upper ,rung of the ladder and we
sure want to hold it. The attendance
yesterday was COS, which shows that
the people here are behind the team.

Saturday Was Big
Bargain Day for
the Local People

Saturday was bargain day in
Blackfoot and the people Of the town
and country certainly took advantage
of the merchants offer to buy mer-
chandise at pre-war prices. Bargain
day was well advertised and the peo-
pie about town We're constantly re-
minded that it was day of bargains
by the banner and the bells that
paraded the streets.
Before noon Saturday was the
busiest morning the merchants have
witnessed so far this year. The
stores were crowded all morning by
the people wishing to buy the fore
noon specials. The afternoon and
evening also exceeded other days and
it is expected that bargain day will
be a great stimulant to business.
And the fact that every dollar spent
in them is placed in local banks and
is. there for the use Of the people Of
this community.

PERFECT STAND OF
BETS REPORTED
Big Crop and Plenty Of
/ Money are Looked
Forward To

John Briggs, field man for the
sugar company, reports practically
perfect stand of beets this spring,
due to the showery weather and
favorable conditions generally.
{ Mr.. Briggs says many. farmers are
afraid to plant beets early on account
of frost, but that he finds there is
danger from frost at any time when
beets may be planted and still! have
enough of the season ahead in which
to mature. The only time when
beets are very sensitive to frost, he
says, is when they are coming thru
the ground and are in the loop.
After they get thru and have four
leaves on they are not easily injured
by frost, and they get better start
and are fortified for the dry weather
when it comes, if planted early.
They have to take that one chance
of frost if planted late; and then they
are confronted with less favorable
conditions for getting started and
they are more liable to be affected
by the blight. The early beet nearly
always escapes the blight or is in
jured very little by it, while the late
beets are easily ruined.
Mr.. Briggs says the first days of
April are generally right for beet
drilling, and that is the time to get
the seed into the ground. ...t.
Mr.. Briggs says there have been
planted for the Blackfoot factory
this year between 5000 and 5000
acres,v and he thinks there is the
most perfect stand he has ever seen.
He looks for big crop and consid-
cradle money in the hands of the
beet growers next fall.

EVERYTHING sPROUTED

Hi Green was in from his farm
Saturday and said he had been stick
ing right at home putting seeds in
the ground all spring and that he
thought every one Of them had
sprouted and was erecting little
green monument. Mr.. Green said
there is as much fun in farming as
there ever was and he believed crops
would be good and money rather
plentiful in the fall.
Alva Norman was in from Rose
Saturday and said there never was
better stand of crops than this
spring, and spring onions never
tasted any better even when there
was plenty of money floating around.
Mr.. Lynch was in from Sterling
and reported that 1t was his first
trip to the county seat since last
August. He says things are looking
good and people are getting accus-
toned to getting along without
money.

Address Given
to a Full House
Sunday Evening

The high school auditorium was
we'll filled Sunday evening to listen
to the baccalaureate address by DR..
Upham, and the program was some
what disappointing thruout. The
principal speaker received a rather
discouraging introduction and he
gave very ordinary address, tho it
had two good features about it
it was not long and it was rather
practical and not at all abstract and
theoretical.
Senator Thomas presented the best
thing Of the evening when he read
from the scriptures such appropri-
ate selections-Proverbs third, first
to sixth inclusive, and thirteenth to
twenty-siXth inclusive = admonish-
ing the young to remember their
teachings and not depart from the
wisdom that had been tested-not
to rely on their own judgment and
their own impulses as against the
wisdom Of the ages. The present
time is so filled with that kind of
mistakes and the reading seemed a
wealth Of Jewels %
DR. Gillilan's invocation and bene-
dictiOn were expressed in words we'll
chosen and impressive. The audi
ence could not applaud the invoca-
tion nor the scripture reading and
they did not applaud anything else.
They were cold and waiting to be
shown. Printed program were dis
tributed, but three of the lights were
out and the other six needed clean
ing and Frightening up. The. old
stub OF a palm still stood on the
stage with some twelve or fifteen
stems still on 1t and the leaves
dropping under thick coat of dust.
Palms, the emblems of victory,
should be kept clean or thrown into
the furnace. else they advertise only
past glories and the coming of de-
cadence, which seems to have ar
rived. The statues of Lincoln and
Washington and Washington cross.
ing the Delaware, are still on the
wall, but no longer are they clean
and beautiful-they are dark under
q load of dust that makes one wish
for a step ladder and feather
duster. Like the lamps, they need
cleaning as do also the stage curtains
that hang loaded with dust, remind.
ing the audience of days when there
was cleanliness and pride as to the
temple Of education.
DR.. Upham said one good thing
when he stated that youth are moi
educated for the purpose of enabling
them to get along better, but to al
them to do a greater service for 90
ciety, and society invests sch0o
money in their education expecting

A JOB FOR A BOY

The stairways in the business
houses of Blackfoot are about 95
per cent dirty, dusty or filthy. Just
at the close of school there are usu-
ally some enterprising boys looking
for jobs. The owners or renters Of
stairways evidently do not like to
clean them or they do not like to
pay for having them cleaned or they
do not appreciate the fact that clean
stairways are desirable.
If the persons responsible for the
dirty, dusty, filthy, stairways in
Blackfoot only knew what people
think of them--the stairways, not
saying anything about what people
think of the owners Of them, 1t
might occur to them, that 1t would
be a good investment and a help to
their business to have them cleaned
and scrubbed and kept clean. They
might realize that that is cause
for loss Of business, and if business
is any object to them, there is tip
worth working on.
If there are boys wanting work,
we predict that they can get 1t by
cleaning one stairway and putting
it in perfect condition, timing the
job SO the one who does the work
will know what it is worth to do
other and similar stairways, and
then go out. offering service at a
reasonable price to clean and keep
clean all the dirty, dusty, filthy stair
ways they can manage and thereby
become public benefactors as we'll
as to have an income.
There is no charge for this sugges-
ton, thank you--it is part of
general scheme to get the town
cleaned up and kept clean.

STERLING DRAINAGE DISTRICT

STERLING DRAINAGE DISTRICT
The commissioners for the Sterl-
ing drainage district went over the
project last week and arranged with
engineers for the preliminary sur
veys on condition that they can ar
range for the cashing of warrants
at a satisfactory price to pay the en-
gineers. They made levy, or as
sessment of 80 cents an acre on the
land, and that will raise about ST.
900 il it is all paid.
1t is estimated that the prelimin-
ary surveys will cost about half of
that amount, and then they will be
in a position to show the land owners
just what it is possible to do in
drainage. The surveyors will not be-
gin work until there is assurance
of available funds for their work.
