Health Posters by
Children Evidence
Clever Artistry

7 On Friday afternoon the pupils O.
the Blackfoot schools had an exhibit
OF health posters that was one Of the
very educational things of the sea
son. For soms time the youngsters
have been cutting out pictures OF
fruit and vegetables, and building
them into all kinds of forms to ex.
hibit them to show that they are
good wholesome foods. They have
been making slogans to go with
them, all Of them emphasizing the
idea of sanitation, wholesome food
eating much of vegetable life and
fruit, having plenty of fresh air ia
breathe during the night, having
plenty of exercise out of doors
proper diet, bathing regularly, the
use of the toothbrush and cleaning
of the finger nails.
These various matters were taught
in a thousands way in the different
posters and when taught in such a
way they make an impression that
one does not soon forget.
Some Of the pictures were in black
silhouette on white; some in white
silhouette on black. Then there
were all the beautiful colors that go
between. The students made many
droll characters out of the things
that grow in the garden, for instance
person might use a radish for the
head, a turnip for the body, cucum-
bers for the arams, ears of corn for
the legs, red beet for the cap and
everything about the little brownie
would be delicious wholesome food.
lhese things were carried out in an
Infinite variety of the products all
carrying out the idea of wholesome
foods. There were many "Swat the
Fly demonstrations and reminders
and many reminders of the proper
kind of clothing to wear, the proper
shoes and the effect of the wrong
kind of clothing.
An improper breakfast as repre-
sented by cakes, some of them burnt
and some not we'll baked and prop
erly cooked and other things insult
able for the morning meal and by the
side OF 1t demonstration of suitable
foods for students; an egg, mush, an
orange, toast, coca. Wherever one
turned there was demonstration of
proper diet, the right way to live,
the right way to play to exercise and
to get the most out of them.
This show was under the manage
ment OF Miss Countryman, who has
been here several weeks teaching
sanitation and health. She was as
sisted in this work by Miss Brose,
the art teacher and the teachers of
the various departments.
Adults visiting the place were
talking to each other and
congratulating the pupils of today
and entering complaints that in their
,wn school days, they were cheated
out of these good things.

AUTOMOBILES

IN the touring car l sit, thinking
mother dear, of you
And our cosy little home so far
away.
We are standing in the road, with a
tire that's gone and "blowed'
And the engines acting in funny
way.
Crank, crank, crank, our back is
breaking,
Cheer up comrades, if you can.
While the batteries are gone, we will
crank away till dawn .
'Tis the fate of almost every auto fan.
Though we yank upon the crank,
there is no gas in the tank,
And the carburetor quit long, long
ago. ...
So we cannot get up steam, and we
cannot hire team,
And it's almost time to see the morn
ing's glow.
Crank, crank, crank, our knees are
shaking,
Cheer up, comrades, just the same,
Though the benzine buggies balk, we
can all get out and walk
Back to town, nine miles, for that's
all in the game.

laces in the country that are sure
tn give trouble every time the snow
Foes off and makes flood waters as
did this spring. One is in the big
follow east of Springfield, where it

It is moist. When all of the rest

was in good condition there were

nd they almost prohibited thru

GREAT NEED FOR
DRESSMAKERS

Women and girls wishing employ
ment might do we'll to give some con-
sideration to the demand for good
dressmaking in Blackfoot For many
years good dressmaking has been in
demand and few there have been,
able to supply that demand Black
foot women generally agree that it is
a great problem to decide whether to
buy dresses already made or to buy
goods and hire some one to make
them. They generally agree that
when they take the latter plan and
the dress is made, that it has such
serious defects in it that they are
not pleased with the results
At the present time, merchants are
carrying beautiful dress patterns and
ladies look upon the goods with long
ing eyes, but when they ask them
selves the question, "Who is going to
make it up?" they recall the exper-
fences they have had before when
they tried that plan and give up the
idea of having any dresses made.
This reveals an interesting situa-
ton. Women as rule are not now
able to make their own dresses to
look good enough to satisfy them
selves. Persons who have done
custom work in town for many years
have not given satisfaction. This
drives women to pay high prices for
dresses ready made and that money
goes out of the community into the
factory districts. Young women
seeking vocations and employment in
Blackfoot feel this situation, but do
not prepare themselves to meet the
demand. Plenty of them go to
school, learn Bookkeeping, typewrit-
ing and all those things and go into
market that is already supplied
with plenty of workers of that kind,
but where there is demand on every
side for the art of dressmaking done
well.
There must be plenty of places
where dressmaking is taught and
where young women could learn this
trade and learn to do things we'll.
They teach it at the "Tech" at Poca-
tello and probably at many other
places where girls could learn that
trade just as quickly as they could
learn typewriting, shorthand and
bookkeeping and it is likely
that the average girl can
learn dressmaking in a great
deal less time than she can
qualify herself with all the studies
necessary to learn these other |
branches, not to mention the prepara-
ton leading up to them. Not all |
girls are good at figures and spelling |
and certainly the community ought |
to produce enough dressmakers to |
supply the home demand.

PLUMBING SHOP SOLD

The Grove City Plumbing company
sold out it's business to Joseph A.
Cutler and Alfred e. Boulter, both
Blackfoot men who have been with
the sugar company here as mechan-
les.
Mr.. Barrett, who has been manag-
ing the business ever since it was
organized is going to close up his
business affairs here and in June
take trip east in his car, visiting
the old home in Michigan. He will
make the trip by way of the Lincoln
highway in company with Mr.. and
Mrs. Cecil Lint. They will probably
be accompanied by one of the lady
teachers. She is thinking some of
making the trip with them.

THE BEST is YET
TO COME ..

AS people look over the burdens
for futures they are apt to be dis.
couraged when there is no reason
for 1t. People are often discouraged
about the high cost of roads and
wonder how they are ever to meet the
expense of those things.
A few years ago men were COM
planning about the tremendous ex-
pense of reclamation and the hope
lessness of accomplishing the great
task laid out, with the money that
vas available or with such amounts
OF money that seemed possible to
raise by reasonable taxation, but in
recent years the irrigation projects
have been paying back the money
INTO tn reclamation treasury to
swell the revolving fund Oil has
be- 'tGcoTcred on a great deal of
the land that belonged to the recla-
nation fund and this has greatly in
creased the income. Reclamation is
looking up from various angles and
the prospects ahead are good.
In our road work we are ant 20
looF over the situation and get dis
couraged thinking that it will never
be possible to maintain the grades
they have built, to protect the surface
pay Off the bonds and still have good
roads left, but people should cheer
IN as they look over the situation
There are likely to be unexpected
resources that will come to our aid
there may yet be new discoveries in
road building that will enable us to
accomplish great deal for less
money. There may be discoveries in
the materials for surfacing roads that
we know nothing about now and
which will be better and less expen-
slve than ANYTHING we are using.
Scientists and engineers are expert
menting with blocks of glass to see
It the sands can be melted and rolled
Into glass and laid for roadways to
that nothing short of an earthquake
could disturb them. There is no tell
Ing what science and engineering
NAV do yet for the good roads uues-
ton.
Bingham county is finding new re-
sources to back up or support the
road construction program. It be-
gins to look as if the $4,000, 900
worth of property that has been as
sessed which is only one-third of the |
amount that can be assessed for taxa
tion, If it is true that two-thirds of
the resources of the county have been
escaping taxation and that only a
fraction of the resources are being
put to beneficial use, we may be able
to handle as good road program as
we contemplated at much less ex-
pense to the individual or better
road program at the same expense.
Cheer up, the best is yet to come.

the government get generous
amount of the water and the en-
gineer on the reservation is said to
have advised the settlers to keep u.s.
ing their water whether they needed
1t or not. If they did not need it on
the crops turn it out somewhere to
keep 1t flowing because If the settlers
on the north side of the river got the
water, they would get the habit of
expecting 1t and he wanted to estab-
fish the right to use it on the reser-
walton constantly. This may not
have been true, but this is the way
the story runs.
Early in the year 1920 the white
settlers on the north side of the river
got busy and elected water master
OF their own selection, instructed
him to see that they got their share
of the water and that the other fell
lows on the south or reservation side
OF the river did not turn 1t out in the
sage brush to waste. It is said that
ne obeyed the orders. It is said that
the fellows on the reservation side
claim they did not get their share of
the water in 1920. When the gov
eminent got its bill for it's share of
the cost of keeping the water master
on the job, they refused to pay it.
1t is said that they claim they will
not pay for the services of man to
take their water away from them.
IL is said that the state engineer says
they must pay their water masters
expenses; that If they fail to pay it
he will shut down their head gates
and Keep their canals dry during the
irrigating season.
Another County Heard From
A visitor in Blackfoot recently told
a story about buying a piece of prop
erty from man who was an assessor
In another county. This was not in
blngham county, but because the
gentleman was telling the story on
himself we are not going to tell you
just who or where 1t was. The prop
erty was a store building on the
main street of the town and had be-
longed for some time to the county
assessor. After the sale was made
and few months had passed, the
assessor came around to assess him,
Well, just assess it at whatever YOU
have been assessing 1t at, when it
belonged to you and that will be all
right with me-" The assessor saw
the point and decided it was a good
thing for him to keep still about and
for him to keep the new owner sat-
isfied
The man telling the story, laughed
and said, II have had reasonable
assessment on that property ever
since" Now, If you were the owner
of that property what would do?
Would you call the assessor in and
tell him to multiply the assessment
by three and get it up on a level with
the neighbors? The Idaho Republic
can does not live in that county so
It will not raise any disturbance
about the low assessment on that
'ne piece of property. Perhaps
everything else in the county is as
'essed just about right.

WHY NOT AN INDIAN?

A delegation of Indians recently
urged Secretary Fall of the interior
department to name Thomas L. Sloan
an Indian of the Omaha tribe, as
commissioner of Indian affairs. They
said that four-fifths of all the Indian
tribes had Endorsed Mr. Sloan.
The man who smiles at the con-
ciet Of these Indians would do we'll
to remember that Secretary Fall him
self won office thru similar appeal
Before Mr.. Fall was appointed
the great west said to itself: Here
is hand to be appointed by Mr..
Harding who will have large voice
in the control of public lands and in
the government of the reclamation
service. 1t Is time to put in a west
ern man, man from one of the great
public land states and from an irri-
cation state. So Senator Fall of New
Mexico was chosen.
Just now man is to be appointed
by Mr.. Fall who will have a large
voice in the control of Indian affairs.
Naturally the Indians say it is time
to put in an Indian-a man thorolv
conversant with Indian affairs.
II the argument was sound in one
case 1t may be sound in the other.
Certainly no one should resent the
fact that handful of Cippewas.
Sioux, Pawnees, Wyandottes and
Cherokees recently made their plea.
1t is worth consideration.
And if it should happen that Mr..
Fall cannot name Mr.. Sloan or some
other Indian to the post of commits
'ioner, certainly it should not be i'm
possible to give the Indian repre-
'entation here and there among the
esser jobs in that bureau-Idaho
statesman.
