AND BAPTISTS
PICNICED At MORMON CHURI ii
Day Was Too Busy fer Speechmafmg
-AthIetic Events for Children
Chief Aitrm ctiOn.

There was no tinfe for speeches at
the Joint picnic of the Methodists and
Baptists an the Mormon Church lawn
at Neeley yesterday. The day was full
from 8 o'clock in the morning until
five in the evening when the loaded
automobiles brought some two hundred
youngsters and grown-ups back TO the
city from their dsBy3s outing.
Methodists and Baptists mingled so
we'll at their joint picnic that 1T Is
doubtful If they could be induced to
picnic separately IN the future. Games,
tugs of war, athletic contests, and
great baskets of food made the day
really worth while. John Mehlhati
directed the sports activities and won
the admiration of the onlookers who
maryeled ut the way he contrived 10
keep things stirring for the yonnG
folks He featured the Athletic pro-
gram with a tug-nf-wa" with the bogE
OH one side and must OF the men ON

discovered that ther send of the rope

LEAK IN RESERVOIR CAUSE
OF BAD WATER PURE AGAIN
Greenwood Announces solution OF
Trouble And States Endeayor TO
~ protect All Users.

The Water furnished the city by the
Philbrick Greenwood Corporation has
again resumed its old purity much TO
the relief of the company. The water
contained an obnoxious odor and taste
for several days prior 10 last week
and at times was hardly bearable for
drinking purposes.
The company sought every means
as a remedy and finally discovered
that bubbling spring beneath the
cement reservoir had caused a cavity
that permitted seepage. The housing
for the spring had been placed with
one side over the bubbling water The
water IN time had eaten away the
earth 20 such an extent that the foul
water from the spring basin was al
lowed TO sssp Iii and taiitt the entire
water supply Of Riverside Addition
The cause was located and remedied
over week ago and inspected later
by c. X. Macey who gave his approval
10 the remedial means used. Mr.
Greenwood states that h is the inten-
ton OF 1he Water Company To furnish
an untsinted and pure supply Of water
to its customers at all umcs and thaI
every effort Will be Iande howard tha'
end.

WSn the new American Falls be 4
paper plan or thriving town? Thls
is a question which has constantly
confronted the planner in both his
conversation with interested citizens
and in his own mind. What Will be
the resources of the new town and
how much can they be depended upon
TO stimulate healthy GROWTH Are
they sufficient to cause any growth at
all? VIII they be sufficient even to
maintain the present population of the
old town with fair degree of pros
perity? Will all the planning and
provision for growth be in vain and
would it not be better to neatly ar
range a few streets-just enough TO
accommodate the 1900 people of the
present population with necessary
shelter and places of business.
The Poorest Policy
In the building of cities there is
only one thing that is apt to do great
er injury than the neglect TO plan anc
provide for the future and that is tc
promote q city where no power or
earth could properly maintain mort
than a hamlet.
! SO the problematical future pros
perity of the new American Falls has
been most serious question, an al
important factor in the policy adopted
in the planning and development o
the new townsite Circumstance
seem to point to a possible consider
able growth. 1t is improbable that |
large city will ever develop upon thi
site unless some hitherto undiscoyer
ed natural resource should be uncoy
cred in the vicinity. But, there seem
every probability that, if available re
sources are developed. the town wi
enjoy fair degree of constant pros
peTity and growth.
Make Expansion Easy
An effort has been made to max
the plan of an expansive nature sue
that will be comfortable and conveI
lent for the few as well as the man
If for any unforeseen reason, the eli

WHY We PAY MORE
FOROUR GASOLINE
Retailer Only Gets Three And A Half
Cent Margin While J0hber Who
Sells In Large Quantities Takes
Seven Cents.

Why is gas higher at American
Falls than at surrounding points?
WHAT is the margin of profit on which
ii is sold and who gets it? This IN
substance is the jist of the recent COM
ment heard in American Falls over the
price of gas. When the local auto
list goes to the nearby town and buys
gas cheaper than he can at home, he
begins to think a conspiracy is work
ing against him, hence the questions.
Local gas men, as many of them, as
could be conveniently found yester-
day afternoon, gave the Press few
tips on the problem that perhaps
should be explanatory to autoists in
American Falls.
Eess OF at soId Here.
Said one man: Gas is higher here
because there Is less of II used. We
fill our tanks only two or three times
week The evaporation in summer
time il enormous, hence the margin OF
profit must be large enough to cover
the loss. Local autoisrs are now pay
ing a cent more per gallon for their
gas than are sthe people at most near
by points. THE principal reason is
that the larger points sell more gas
fill their tanks oftener, have less evap-
Grafton to contend with, hence can
sell cheaper. For three days we We're
selling gasoline three cents higher
than at other places. This was be-
cause the companies who have sta
'tfons here wished to dispose of their
thirty-threa cent gasoline before they
stocked gasoline at the new price. 1t
took them three days longer to sen out
than it did the stations in other Towns.
No Competition.
Said another popular gas man:
Local retailers make about three and
half cents a gallon on their gaso-
line Considering the small amount
sold. the loss from evaporation and
storage, this is a proper margin OF
profit The jobbars make about seven
cents gallon and do not handle gas
in nearly as expensive way as we do
1t is the jobber that keeps the price
up.
Another gas man said: The reason
why gasoline seifs for 25 cents a gal
Ion in California is because the large
companies put IN large gas stations
and sell in competition with one an
other. At their stations they can tak'
both the jobbers profit and fire re
tailers profit make a material Teduc
ton on the price of gas, and still make
alarger profit than we are making
Little Fellows Helpless.
There you are. It seems as fttougl
American Falls ought to have as cheal
gas as any town in the valley. Witt
two jobbers stations here it woult
seem that gas could be handled il
sufficient quantities to make the pric
comparatively row. But the retailer
of gas have to make the best OF tn
situation They are not the ones VIII
are reaping the profit The faloV
that sells it in thousand gallon lot
makes twice the margin THAT the fel
low does who sells it in gallon con
signments.

and streets, extending in every di-
rection are provided TO permit of the
at minimum OF con-
venience and along the most logical
lines.
Whether The new town is large or
small the plan viii be adaptable to its
needs. But. had it not appeared To
the planner that there was sufficient
reason to expect an ultimate material
increase in population, il is likely that
the plans would have been somewhat
different.
Expects Increase
His conclusions are based upon his
impression OF the country in compari-
son with the region with which he is
familiar in the East and Middle West;
upon the history of the locality as
gained through the records and con-
versation with various of the older
and more experienced inhabitants of
the locality; upon information OBJ
tanned concerning prevailing manu-
featuring and transportation con
ditions: and upon a study of all avail
able plans for local development to-
gether with actual general conditions
now prevailing in the valley.
There are three general classes OF
resources; agricultural, manufactur-
ing and governmental, OF the agri'
cultural there are; dry farming, irrri-
gable lands developed and undevelop'
ed for general farming, possible
small extent of market gardening, ano
| stock grazing.
! Dry Farms Extensive
The dry farms are extensive, Al
such land suitable to the production
of wheat has been occupied and de
veloped but, as far as the planner car
ascertain, has been developed in
large number of instances, by mex
perienced farmers. Successful dr.
farming requires persistent, hard, an
experienced effort. Much Of tn
wheat land has not had this, The pas
six or seven years of abnormal drout
have hard hit the best OF the dry farm
ers and have been disastrous to tn
