Carnivals May be
Refused Licenses
In State of Idaho

Travelling carnival companies will
be prohibited from operating in the
state Of Idaho II house bill No. I'll.
by the judiciary committee, and In
troduced Friday morning, Is enacted
into law. ..,
No. "loop holes" are offered, elgis-
lators say, whereby the law. may be
evaded and language used Is definite.
Not only are the companies pro-
hibited from operating in the state,
but heavy penalty is prescribed for
violation of the law and the state is
clothed with authority to confiscate
all property belonging to the COM
pany together with any money that
may have been collected thru the un-
lawful operation of the company
within the state. Proceeds from the
sale of any confiscated property
taken under the provisions of the
law are placed in the school fund of
the county in which the company is
operating or attempting to operate.
While the measure was introduced
by the judiciary committee of the
house it is understood that the w. G.

the bill.

TELEPHONE RATE INCREASE

BOISE, Idaho.-A Decision of the
public utilities company is forth
coming, increasing slightly the tele-
phone rates, more especially as to
long distance, according to informa-
ton that is regarded as reliable.
The telephone company made q
showing recently before the commits
sion of such tremendous increases
in its costs Of operation, maintenance
and extension as to convince the
commission, 1t is said, of the justness
of its request. During the war, with
it's costs mounting high, 1t was
pointed out, no relief was secured
until the government put the Burle-
son rates into effect only when 1t be-
came certain that to longer deny re-
lief would place the utility in bad
shape and interfere with war busi-
ness. This, however, It was shown,
did not nearly meet the deficit
caused by the increased costs.
Moreover, the demand for tele-
phone extension has become wide
spread, and 1t can only be met by
reasonable increase in rates.
The increase, It is stated, will not
cover the additional costs, but will
give some relief.
The concensus of opinion is that
the fair manner of treating this
utility will result in increased invest
ment in the state, which will be well
coined by all classes at . time when
depression's grip can be released only
by new capital.

j Lincoln Met Connell
Presents Valuable
Lecture Friday Eve

Lincoln Mcconnell gave the clos
ing number OF the lyceum series OF
entertainments at Blackfoot on Fri
day evening. It was q lecture of un-
usual worth. The subject was ''The
Guy That Delivers the Goods" and
he went down the line showing the
difference between men who actually
make good and mem who only put in
their time and do q lot of bluffing
He applied it to school work and all
educational work and showed in the
most clear and convincing manner
how it is that the most important
part of our life is that part including
infancy, childhood and the school
age. II we learn to think properly
then; If we master the mental ma
chine and the physical machine and
learn to use them properly, the
world Is at our command, but failing
to do this we are failures and must
remain failures.
Mr.. McConnell's lecture was not
at all dry; it was intensely interest
ing thruout; it was funny in places.
He kept his audience either listening
intensely or in an uproar of merri-
ment. The house was full and the
admission fees collected at the door
were muchly needed for a packed
house the last night was requered
to make the guarantors whole on the
venture. They lacked $26 of hav-
ing enough to put them in the clear.
A contract has been made for a
better lyceum course for next year
and twenty of the business men have
gone behind it financially besides a
committee of seven of the students
in the high school, who are pledged
to organize the schools to back up
the venture A committee of seven
students made the selections for the
particular numbers to be written in
the contract and If they are not the
best ones they had to choose from
the committee Of seven have erred in
its Judgment. The guarantors are
betting on them having selected
something that will be satisfactory.

INCOME TAX FACTS
YOU SHOULD KNOW

Millions of babies were added to
family circles, each Of whom brings
an exemption Of 5000 in the parents
income tax return.
Widows and widowers who lost
their husbands or wives during the
year are especially affected. They
are single for the purposes Of the in
come tax law and are granted only
an exemption Of $1,000 unless the
head of family.
Person who were divorced or sep
arated by mutual agreement during
the year also must consider them
selves as single persons.
The status Of the taxpayer on De-
cember 81, 1890, determines ( he
amount OF the exemptions. II on
that day the taxpayer was married
and living with wife or husband,
claim may be made for the $1,000 ex-
emption. If single. or married and
not living with wife or husband on
December 81, the exemption is only
$1,000.
Persons who reached majority
during the year and whose earnings
for that period amounted to $1,000
or more, or $4,000 or more, accord
ing to their marital status, must file
q return and pay q tax on their net
income in excess Of those amounts.
TO avoid penalty, the return must
be in the hands Of the Collector OF
Internal Revenue for the district in
which the taxpayer lives, or has his
principal place Of business, on or be-
fore midnight Of March Is, 1921.

ARMY TRANSPORT
SENDS OUT S. 0. S.
turbine Engines Burst;
Freighters Collide
in Fog

NEW YORK, Feb. 6.-With wire
less messages asking for immediate
help coming from the United States
army transport Cantigny, whose tri-
bine engines burst when the vessel,
carrying many army and naval Of
ficers in their way to Antwerp, was
thirty miles east of the Fire island,
several vessels have been dispatched
to her aid.
The merger message did not give
any details except that immediate
help was necessary. Whether the big
transport is in danger of sinking is
not known, altho naval officers are
of the belief that the bursting of the
engines would not necessarily i'm
peril the vessel unless it took fire.
That, they contend, is not probable.
1t is believed the relief vessels that
were dispatched shortly after 4
O'Clock this morning have reached
the Cantigny and that unless further
trouble has been encountered she is
now being towed into port.
The Cantigny was bound for An
twerp and left the port of emparba-
tion at Hoboken yesterday. The ship
carried hundreds of passengers,
many of them ranking officers.
Shortly after the receipt Of the
message from the Catigny word was
received from the freight steamship
Bthleridge that she had been in col
lision with the City Of Auckland,
sixty miles south of Scotland light
ship. 1t is believed the collision was
due to the dense fog.
Both the Bethleridge and the City
Of Auckland arrived in port shortly
after noon under their own steam
The bow Of the Bethleridge was badly
stove In and the City. of Auckland
was also considerably damaged.

Creameries and their representa-.
tives are scattered thruout the state
and the Blackfoot country. The
same progressive organizations thrive
here that thrive in the corn belt and
everything is practically the same ex.
cept that opportunities are much
greater. The climate is we'll adapted
for dairying and there exists a Won
derful field for making for those who
are interested in the dairy business,
| But to the dry climate extensive and
expensive barns are not necessary
Every transportation company op-
Grating in Idaho is giving careful and
special attention to the dairy in
dustry in the state and assists farm
ers in every possible way to acquire
good dairy stock. They work thru
all possible channels for its encour-
agement and make liberal provisions
for hauling the products between
railroad stations and consumers In
the city. The banks of the state are
showing a disposition to loan money
to the farmers who wish to buy dairy
stock. For these reasons, the dairy
business appeals especially to the
man of limited capital.
Very fortunate indeed is that
country that can name dairying
among it's chief industries. The
history of this and other nations
shows that dairy products, perform
an important function in maintain
ing a permanent prosperity. AS in
the days of old, when a patriarch
counted his wealth in the numbers
Of his cattle and his sheep, so today
nation or a state can boast of it's
dependable wealth by pointing out
the good dairy cows within it's
borders.
"You harvest wheat and potatoes
once year, but you milk cows twice
a day."
One of the richest states in the
union had, according to a recent CEN
sus, nearly 5000 creameries and
cheese factories to it's credit. With
a silo for every fourth farm in the
state, it's farmers are mentioned as
the most generally we'll to do in
America. According to the same
count Idaho has but few creamer-
les, less than ten and no cheese
factories. This is not altogether due
to lack of market nor to the agricul-
tural possibilities of certain sections
of the state. 49,,
At the present time the Blackfoot
country presents wonderful possibil-
tiles to the dairy industry. After
visiting nearly every state in the
union in the interests of industrial
work, the writer considers Blackfoot
one of the best undeveloped dairy
sections he has seen. With the ad-
vent of more cows and more men
who will milk cows, Blackfoot is
destined to be rich dairy country.

DEATH OF MARTHA WEEKS

Mrs. Martha Weeks departed this
life at her home in the suburbs Of
Blackfoot on Sunday night the fifth
of February, 1921 at the age of
eighty years. She had been declin-
ing for a long time and the end was
not unexpected.
She leaves four sons and one
daughter. Charlie Weeks who lives
in the state Of Missouri, John and
Edward Neider and Archie Weeks Of
Blackfoot and Mrs. G. H. Hines of
Idaho Falls.
The funeral will be conducted
from the Methodist church on Tues
day afternoon at 2 O'Clock.
The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1921-02-07

shines bright and warm fully 800
days of the year and the nights are
always cool. When pure mountain
breezes, cool nights and water and a
superabundance of feeds, rich in pro-
tein, a COW is given every opportunity
to yield large profits to her owner.
1t is the opinion of those conversant
with conditions that If Finderne
Holingen Fayne, can produce 1902
pounds of butter in one year in foggy
New Jersey while fighting pestifer-
Gus misquitoes, she ought easily to
produce a ton of better butter under
the unequaled conditions found in
the valleys adjacent to Blackfoot.
1t can easily be imagined that If the
COWS of other regions knew of the
wonderful comforts and possibilities
enjoyed by their sisters here it would
be necessary to protect against a
tremendous bovine invasion. But
this is only dream for more good
cows are needed and more men who
will properly care for them.
A cyclone once took everything a
man had, but his cows and his sep
arator. He never missed q bank de-
post.
A lack of staple market for cream
kept the dairy men of this section
from buying more cows until such a
market was established in Black
foot. The ablishment of such a
market, however, by nearby cream
cries maintaining buying agencies in
the city and shipping their finished
products back has given stability and
impetus to the dairy business and
many farmers are enjoying a steady
income, where previously they were
at the mercy Of small and unreli-
able market.
When you sell butter fat you sell
sunshine, but when you sell grain
you sell the fertility of the soil.
The following quotation is given
to those interested in the future of
the Blackfoot country to encourage
greater dairy production. IA car
load of grain is worth about $3.50.
A carload of butter fat is worth
about $4,000. Convert your grain
into butter fat and save the freight"
Another phase of Blackfoot dairy
ing of prime Importance is the breed
ing of good dairy stock. There is
a continual demand for pure bred
and high grade sires, to be used on
native stock in the upgrading of
dairy herds. This demand will in
crease for the market is growing con-
tinually. This means that more milk
must be produced from individual
cows in order that economical pro-
duction may be reached. sCertainly
the breeding Of good dairy stock
would be profitable business In this
growing dairy community.
"Good dairy cows are evidence of
dollars and sense"
In conclusion, there is abundance
of fine water, pure air and sunshine,
a steady reliable market, cold stor-
age facilities available within close
proximity of Blackfoot, abundant
cheap protein feeds and a climate
never equaled. On the other hand
there is an insufficient supply of milk
and cream. There can be but one
solution to the problem. More and
better cows are needed. There is a
handsome profit ready for every
dairyman within a shipping distance
of Blackfoot. aa
