EASTER CANTATA
IS BEING PLANNED
FOR COMMUNITY
Under Direction of i.cons rd l.. Waa.i
Propose Rendition Of rctric's
"I.ife Everlasting"

Under the direction OF l.. l.
Wood. plans are being made for tn.
presentation OF eantata here or
Easter Sunday. which comes March
81. just two months from today.
IL Is the purpose OF those most In
terested in the enterprise. TO make
the program a genuine community
affair. In which all creeds and or
ganizations may take part. so that
something really worth while may
be presented
With this thought In mind. every
one in the community. capable OF
taking part In the musical. is asked
and urgently requested 10 communi.
cate at once with Mrs. f. u. Ripley
IL is hoped to enlist the aid aud co
operation OF all talent In the com.
munity in the affair. aud Il Is Inn
portant that response be made with
out delay.
II sufficient talent can be inter
ested in the plan. Il Is proposed I,
give Filler a real musical treat In IN,
rendition OF Petrle's Life Eyerlasi
ing" the cantata given on Easter
sunday at the Methodist church H.
Twin Falls last year. under the di.
rection OF Mr.. Wood. who was at
that time musical director Of the
church. More than a hundred voices
took part In the cantata. which Is
said TO have excelled anything ever
attempted Ia that regard in Twin
Falls aud was phenomenal sue
cess.
In the opinion OF Mr. wood. Il
not impossible for an organization
here to succeed just as we'll. proyid-
ing concerted effort is made. The
size OF community does not meas
ure it's musical ability. In his opin-
on. The musical accomplishment
OF the past in Filler are very en-
couraging to those who plan the
Easter program and IL is said that
no town on the tract has more peo-
pie with voices above the mediocre
than has Filler.
IL is admitted that every town
needs and should foster community
enterprise. especially those OF
musical nature. and no hositancy IL
felt in attempting 20 give Filler an
exceptional entertainment.
II will be remembered by the old
er residents here. that Mr. Wood
directed numerous cantatas. musicals
and choirs during his former resi-
dence I'm Filler. Al that time he was
director OF the Mendelssohn Choral
club. an organization that produced
we olde Tyne Concerto" Wind
mills OF Holland and other produc-
tions OF note. lie directed a most
successful Easter musical service
here as community affair on one
and was the leader In such
enterprises Ia this community.
Since this time he has gained
much more experience IN this line
o. work. as director OF music In /
churches at Harlowton, Mont and
Twin Fails. where he was musical .
director in the Baptist church. aud /
aier al the Methodist church
Those backing the movement have (
svery reason to expect biz things In

set

ARMY IS FACING A HARD PROBLEM
May Be Forced to Break Contracts With 10000 soldiers-WiIl Ask Sol diers 10 Resign-Harding
 Speaks of ParsimOny.

Washington, July 1.--President Harding informed Congress today that
 while he had signed the army appro- priation bill with it's provision for a reduction of the regular army to i50,-
 GOO men by October l, it may be nee essary to ask for modification of the measure later to avoid embarrassment to the secretary of war.
 The president said in a special mes sage sent to both the Senate and the House that summary dismissal from the army of men who have enlisted for longer period than to October 1, seems to involve a repudiation of a morale of the army and possibly in- huence enlistments in the future. The nature of the qualifications which may be asked later was not disclosed, nor did the president ex- plain how it is proposed to meet the moral obligation by the government, which would have it's effects upon the moral obligations to the men and at the same time carry out the direc tion of Congress to reduce the force by some 10000 men in the next three months. He did say, however, that "every effort will be made to meet the requirements of the Congress at the earliest possible day"
 Secretary Weeks, in discussing the bill today, said that if the War De- partment succeeds in meeting the lim- itations imposed by Congress some 3O,000 civilian employees of the army besides the 10000 enlisted men will be thrown on the labor market to tion. He added that the War Depart ment still hopes to be able to avoid the summary dismissal of any en- listed men in reducing the army, and that for the present no enlisted men will be discharged against their wishes. He explained that an oppor tunity will be given enlisted men in the service who want to leave to ten der their resignation In this way, he said. it is hoped to avoid forced discharges. For the next few weeks, Mir. Weeks added, only routine and requested discharges will be issued. If they do not indicate that the en- listed strength will reach the level fixed by Congress, the question or arbitrarily discharging enough men to make up the difference then will be taken up.
 In signing the bill President Hard ing is said to have followed course regarded by his advisers as the only practicable one in view of the insist ence of both the House and Senate that the army be reduced as proposed in the measure, and the short t.ne remaining before the end of the tis- cal year.

B|C CHIEF WILSON
 MAKES A RECORD
Indian Hurler Makes Sixteen Travel srs Mhin-Cove Loses Game Tho to D--King Gets An-
 other Homer,

Tho he famed i6 of MeAa's eele- brated swatters in Thursday after. noon's game at Menaheld, Big Chief Wilson, the Indian hurler, lost the contest. The final count was, Travel CTS, half dozen; Cove, one round cipher. The visitors lost because they couldn't hit Reeves, - g Despite the wet and muddy grounds it was d good game. The slender in- dian on the mound for Cove won the praise of the local fans for his clever work Wilson's strikeout record is the best of the season on the local grounds. The shutout of Cove is also the first of the season.
 Wilson got a strikeout from every Traveller save Fletcher and King. There were seven hits made of him, one of which that of Woods high bouncer over first being of the seratehy kind. But King got q pair one of which was a homer, Fletcher bit pair, one a two baser, and Reeves pair Wilson walked three and hit one.
 The mound work of the tall Indian shouldn't deprive our own Frank Reeves of credit for a most excellent game. Reeves whitfed only s, but he only walked one and hit one. And on top of that only four safe bingles were made off him. Cove didn't get man to first save in only three in nings, and in two of these threatened runs were cut down at the plate.
 The scores of Mena were made il the following manner:
 With two down in the first, Reeves Int one so hot 1t bounced off Wilson. glove thru second, into center garden King, next up, had never been intro dueed to Wilson who made the mis take of putting over a fast one jus to the catcher's liking. When the bal stopped it was outside the rightfiel, fence and Mena had two scores.
 In the second inning Burtch drew a pass, went to second on Ford's sac riiiee, stole third and scored wher Wood hit one to Skinner that took ; peculiar bound and went over the frs baseman's head.
 Reeves started the third with . rlean hit to left. King was hit b, The pail. Fletcher Smaeked a brett, one to right, which let Reeves home but King was caught at third Fletcher made second on the play stole third and scored on Burtchi blow to the starting sack.
 Mena's last scere was made in th nth Reeves was safe on a iuggl at third. King sacrificed him to sec end. Fletcher hit for two bases f center and Foust running for Reeve came home.
 Warrior Hounsel was late in reach ing Mena, but got to the ground i time to replace Sawyer .n right i the third inning. Cove got q pair o lits of Reeves in the fourth. but last double play. Lynch to Fletche cut of hopes for a run.

Burtch tried mighty hard to get by the shoestring route. He went to sec ond on a wild pitch and to third on Hounsels hit to the midway sack. Harvill poled one to second and Dover was cut off at home. Wilson hit one to Reeves who ran Hounsel down as Warrior tried to get to the rubber. Sawyer was at bat when Umps Steel called him out, believing the third swing was strike instead of foul. A gab fest followed, but order was restored when Sawyer was permitted to go back for another bat. He drew a pass filing the sacks. Skinner, next up, tried hard but the best ne could do was to strike out,
