People of Aberdeen
Celebrate Pioneer
Day Inpressively

Tho somewhat belated, the i'm
portance Of the day to all true west
erners and the success of the celebra-
ton of July "a, or Pioneer Day
would justify recording as an event
Of current history.
The morning broke in such glory
as bespoke splendid day and to do
justice to which, and to show appre-
citation of the work we were to COM
memorate, every event both physical
and mental must be of an excep-
tional order, and in spite of the un-
accountable opposition by some who
should have been more magnanimous
and more appreciative of the debt
we owe those sturdy pioneers, the
events Of the day were generally con-
coded to be equal to, if not superior
to any public celebration of our pro-
gressive little municipality; and any
factional spirit that preceded the
day, was made up for in the unaniin-
ity Of mind that characterized the
celebration. Too often those who do
not think, look upon the twenty
fourth of July as day significant
to the Mormons only, but to the
generous and thoughtful mind, it is
a day filled with national moment
and especially bright in the events
Of our glorious west.
Those who were responsible and
to whom we are deeply indebted for
the arrangements and program of
the day were j. F.. Monsoon, chairman
with L. H. Phillips, J. M. Tenant,
William Slaugh and Gus Becker as
assistants.
The speaker Of the day, who ac-
Quilted himself most honorably was
H. A. Benson of Blackfoot.
Those who delighted the audience
with their music were Mrs. Paul A.
Fugate, U. v. Campbell and Miss
Lucille Stone. Humorous speeches
were given by Miss Fay Wride and
Roeul Campbell and were soundly
applaunded.
The sporting contests were en-
tered into with great spirit and
amply rewarded with prizes.
That the whole day from Begin
ming in the morning to the closing
dance at night was participated In
by one Of the largest and best
natured crowds ever seen in Aber-
deem, was the unanimous expression
and the spirit of the pioneers is still
held in sacred memory by the near
pioneers OF the great Snake river
desert.-COntributed.

RAIL- ROADS EXTEND
WAGE REDUCTIONS
WAGE CUT WILL BE MADE ON
PRACTICALLY EVERY LARGE
" ROAD IN THE U. S. JULY 1st
II Per Cent Reduction of Pay is Or.
ders Of Rail Heads Which II Claims
is Necessary to Meet Present
Day Conditions

ChicagO.-Employees on virtual,
every railroad in the country will fee
the u per cent wage reduction ordered
by the United States railroad labor
board to take effect, following q sup
elemental decision Monday extending
ne order to nearly 100 additional
roads.
The wage slash authorized by the
board on June l to take effect next
friday originally contemplated four
zen railroads, although not all EN-
ployees were effected on all roads
Mondays addendum to that decision in
cluded 21O roads, may of which were
parties to the original decision, but
which returned to ask reductions for
classes of their employees not GOV.
cred in the first order.
The reductions authorized Monday
were identical with those Of the origin
al order, the only change being the ad-
ditiOn of rates for marine workers in
certain harbors and Of a section COW
ering restaurant and dining car EN-
ployeees, whose wages were ordered
reduced by 60 per cent Of all increases
received since February 20, 1920.
With the exception Of few subsi-
diary lines, whose parent owners filed
petitions for reductions, every railroad
in the country affected by decision No.
2, the labor boards $6OOOOO,OOO wage
award Of July, 1920, has now been
authorized to reduce wages an average
of IL per cent. Most of them have re-
ceived such permission for all classes
Of employees. In addition, nearly two
score other roads which voluntarily ap-
piled the increased scale fixed by the
board in 1920, also have received auth
orizatiOn to make a similar cut.
Basing its figures on the normal
number Of employees onall roads af-
fected by decision No. 2, the labor
board recently estimated that its IL per
cent reduction would lop approximately
$40O,000,OO0 from the nations railroad
wage bill, if applied to all employees.
Comparatively few roads now have
full quota of employees, but rest0ra-
ton of normal conditions and applica-
ton of the boards cut to all employees
of the larger railroads will probably
make the $4OO, 100000 reduction real
ity.

PLAN TO ship OUR
SPUDS in CRATES
Would Make Potatoes
More Attractive
to BUYERS

George Brunt of Idaho Falls pro-
poses that Idaho spuds shall be
shipped to market in crates like
oranges and lemons and peaches are
shipped, but without the wrappers
and then people can see what they
are getting. He says 1t would be
much more attractive to look at the
potatoes themselves rather than
looking at dusty sack with the un-
Outstanding that Idaho potatoes were
within.
"Put oranges in gunny sack and
try to sell them," says Mr.. Brunt
"and see how differently people will
take to them as compared with the
way they are regarded when laid out
in plain sight or done up in tissue
paper"
Mr.. Brunt is man with an idea
worth studying. He calls attention
to the high price of sacks in recent
years and to the damage done to the
lowly spud shipping them in sacks
and there are two serious items, the
high cost in money and the heavy
loss due to brusing in the sack, both
Of which the producer has to pay, for
he gets paid only for the good sound
potatoes that reach the customer.
Mr.. Brunt is proposing that some
Of our Idaho pine be sawed up into
crate material and ready to put to-
gether at the potato warehouse
where the potatoes are sorted and
graded and then the potatoes sent
clear thru to the retailer in the
crates.
Mr.. Brunt was led to study this
proposition by the fact that he oper-
ates two large saw mills in the Island
park country and he has been spar
ring for his place in the markets for
fruit boxes and finds that Idaho uses
great quantities of box materials
shipped in from California at great
expense for freight when we might
just as we'll be supplying the mater
ials from Idaho saw mills, and keep
ing the money at home. He is talk
ing to spud growers and shippers
about the matter to see if this in
dustry can be established in this val
ley, saving and shipping the crate
materials from Island park and OPP
Grating box factories at the potato
warehouses. If this plan is launched
Blackfoot and Wapello would have
one new industry and potato growers
might find their products bringing
more money even without any raise
in price, because the percentage of
loss on them in shipping would be
less. If the lowly spud sold better
on it's looks in clean new crate, that |
should greatly heneht the first COM
munities that institute the plan in
these days of doubtful markets for
crops. II people would choose boxed
potatoes in preference to sacked po-
tatoes and ours were boxed, then we
might market all of our crop when
we should otherwise sell only a frac-
tion of it.
To the Invest wires belong the
future markets!

A SATIRE ON DRESS

Bushmen of Dutch Guiana
Sally forth in Natures dress,
Their costumes never changing
Never costing more or less.
They ride upon the rivers
: In rude tree-trunk canoe,
Mothers holding little babies
While they ply the oars so true.
! think 1t wise and proper,
AS I note their wondrous grace,
To send our. near-nude women
To this naked savage race.
Let them adopt the fashions
OF this dusky tribe so free
And grow. in health and wisdom,
Spearing fish from followed tree.

At the opening of the session 1t was consid- cred rather doubtful that much of a success could be made along this line because of lack of material, but re- gently steady stream of huskies has poured in and as a result prospects are much brighter.
 A boys basketball team has been organized and Coach Req says he has the real finds in Red" Blackledge, High Pocket" Mckinney Slim" Bates and Shorty Thomas. These men. with the exception of Bates, have had experience of a valuable na . ture on teams of other schools.

DAN WGUGIN IS
 BRINGING SQUAD
 OF 22 MEN HERE
Commodores to Stage Light Workout Here This
 Afternoon

The Commodores of Vanderbilt some 25 strong, will arrive in Sir mingham this morning, and will this, afternoon stage a light work out be- fore the big game with Alabama at Redwood park tomorrow afternoon. The Vandy squad will be headed by Coaches Dan McGugin and Wallace Wade.
 Dan McGugin is said to be bringing an old time aggregation to BirRling- ham today. The Commodores have carried all opposition before them this season, and will probably rule favorites over the Crimsons tomor- row.
 Those who are making the trip here are as follows: Capt. Wade, D. C. Kuhn. Jess Neely, Frank God chaux, Rupert Smith. Freddie Meters, Red Rountree, Nixon, Lynn Bomar, Llack Joe Williams, Wakefield, Tot Mccullough, Tommy Ryan. Percy Frank Elam. Al Sharp, Bill Bailey, Big Overall. Gill Reece and Hard wick.
 Spirit is high at Vanderbilt this year, and quite a few packers of the gold and black eleven are coming to Birmingham with their favorites.
 As a general holiday has been de- clared at the university for the occa- sion, the student body at Tuscaloosa is expected to be on hand in force. It should be one of those old time af- fairs, with football spirit at both in- stitutions running high and rivalry perhaps keeper than ever

coaches in their scrimmages this week.
 Many Auburn supporters are think ing that the acid test laid at the feet of the Plainsmen on last Saturday will be a distinct advantage in the future encounters on the Tiger sched- ule. The Clemson affair was expect ed to give the Auburnites a run for their money which would have great ly added to the strength of the Dona- hue clan in the pinches. such as oc- cured In the Columbus classic, but the Clemson Tigers being weak. the varsity squad being held out of the Camp Benning affair, and the other games which were only of prelim- mary caliber, furnishing no opposi- tion in order to bring out the po- tential strength, placed the Tigers at the Georgia game without severe test of their strength behind them. This cannot be said of the coming struggle.
 Tulane is reported 70 have a strong team, and this report was verified when they held the strong Detroit eleven to 14 to 10 in Detroit last Sat urday. They will use a varied attack against the Tigers and are expected to not only use the line bucking tactics but the aerial and kicking game.
 The lineup in New Orleans is ex. pected to be about as it was against Georgia except Ross Ford, the Marion county lad who has been CT forming at end, may be drawn to the backfield and see service at fullback
