CITY BUILDING IS
GREATLY IMPROVED
Offices Arranged and
Heating Plant
Installed

The work of remodeling the City
Hall and the installation Of the new
heating system is about complete.
The heating plant has been in opera
ton about a week and is very sue
cessful. Radiators are placed about
the walls in the upper part of the
building and it is very efficiently
heated. In the basement the radia-
tors are suspended from the ceiling
thus keeping the wall free and clean.
The walls and ceilings are all kalso-
mined and the radiators have been
painted to match these, making the
entire arrangement very attractive.
The north half of the building has
been divided and set apart for the
use of the police department and for
a jail. The front part is to be used
as an office for the force and lockers
are also provided for their use.
1t has not been fully decided
whether or not there will be cells
placed in the Jail.
The south half of the basement
has been improved in ike manner
only that the room is much larger,
there being just space enough at the
back for the furnace. In the rear of
the furnace is the new coal bunker
with carload capacity.
The clerks office with the new
desks; and tables greatly adds to the
efficient handling of the work in that
office and is taking caro- ofsthe water
works.

| of all those classes 500 women anC
girls received certificates, and they
are now called upon to carry on the
work of keeping up the Red Cross
operating in the county and continu
ing the good work already taught
and started, and conducting the
membership drive beginning Armis
tice Day and continuing until
Thanksgiving.
The Red Cross organization Is
represented in Bingham county by
Ernest L. Anderson, chairman and
Mrs. J. H. Early in charge of home
service work, to whom applications
for aid should be made. Miss Anna
Brakel is the general representative
for the northwestern division, with
headquarters at Seattle, and Mrs
Elizabeth Morton is the field nurse,
who has been teaching in the county.
The projects which they are work
ing on in the county for futures be-
sides the membership drive, which
they designate the roll call, are to
keep up the home service work al
ready mentioned, to look after the
disabled veterans, and to carry >on
the work in the county by means of
a local trained nurse supported jointly
by the Red Cross and the county
government for the purpose of look
ing after health and sanitation in the
schools in connection with the home
service work. The school work con-

chased lung motor some time ago
for use in reviving persons who are
shocked by electricity, or drowned
and gone beyond what is usually con-
sidered any chance for recovery and
for starting breathing and heart
action in stillborn infants. In the
case of drowning, a person that is
under water few minutes has gen.
orally been considered dead, but with
the powerful lung motor to start
breathing and stimulate heart action,
people have been revived and saved
even after being in the water for as
much as four hours. Bingham
county's lung motor is kept at the
city hall at Blackfoot, and emerg-
ency calls should be made to the fire
department the same as a fire alarm,
and quick action can be obtained to
send it out to where it is needed,
with physician to operate 1t.

The Four Horsemen
of the Apocalypse
Being Shown Here

Tonight and Friday night the
people of this community have the
opportunity to see that famous story
of the world war entitled "The Four
Horsemen of the Apocalypse" It
is wonderful production, showing
men in the activities Of peace and
war, the call to arms and mobiliza-
ton of armies, the bombarding of
towns, fighting in No-man's land,
and the insults and atrocities of war.
The title of the story is misleading
until one knows that it is merely
symbolic-the four horsemen being
the four things that make war hor-
rible-conquest, fighting, pestilence
and death. They ride roughshod
over everything in all their cruelty
The apocalypse is a revealing or
conveying of information, reaching
an understanding, so that the story
and the play are teaching of how
war affects all the walks of life.
1t is being played at the Orpheum
tonight and Friday night, with all
seats reserved, seats ranging in
prices in prices from 0 cents down.

AMERICAN LEGION
HOLDS CONVENTION
Leaders of Allied Arm.
les Address Large
Assemblage

The thousands of delegates
tumultously greeted their wartime
comrades, Marshal Foch of France
and General John J.. Pershing in
Kansas City Tuesday. Following the
addresses of the visitors the meet
ing adjourned until Wednesday
morning to permit the delegates and
visitors to attend the service held for
the Kansas City dead and the dedica-
tion of memorial in their honor.
In his address General Pershing
announced that the war department
had posthumously awarded the dis
tinguished service medal to the late
Colonel Frederick w. Galbraith Jr.,
commander of the American Legion
at the time of his death last spring.
General Pershing also led the con-
vention in giving three cheers for
the marshal of France.
What officials claimed was the
greatest procession Of marching men
in this country since President
Lincoln reviewed the Union armies,
passed in review before the eyes of
five allied military leaders in Kansas
City Tuesday. The parade of the
American Legion came as a climax
to the national convention and as a
mark of respect to their elders the
legionaires had invited the members
Of the G. A. r., the United Confed-
crate Veterans and Spanish War Vet
Grams to Participate. When the pro-
cessiong swung into line 1t was led
by the five leaders who aided greatly
in spelling defeat for the entente
forces. They were Foch Of France,
'Diaz Of Italy, Jacques 0t Belgium,
Beatty Of Great Britain and General
Pershing.

Three Billions are
Hidden in Houses
and Peoples Pockets

Three billion dollars are hidden
around houses and carried in the
pockets of people of the United
States. Put into circulation, this
money would form basis of credit
that would take care of very large
proportion of necessary business now
suffering for lack of adequate
financing. But people will not empty
their pockets into banks, benefiting
themselves, and the country, without
some good hard, educational work.
A goodly share of that effort must
be in the form Of advertising.
II folks did not move, IL genera
tions did not grow up, II customs
and habits did not change, II COM
petitors did not compete, If the pub
lie was not open to suggestions and
receptive to new ideas, advertising
might not be needed. Your auto
mobile can be run for a while with
out gasoline, going down hill, but to
go up grade you must step on the
gas. You can RUN your business
without advertising-down hill.
A bank may keep quiet for while
and say. "Oh, why all this noise
about advertising? We don't have
to advertise. Everybody knows u.s."
Such people ought to get out their
Bibles and read the story of Joseph.
AS long as he was in the house OF
Pharaoh, who had befriended him,
he was powerful; he could do what
ever he wanted, not only for himself,
but for his people as well. Every
body looked up to him. But Pharaoh
died, and then there came a king
who knew not Joseph" To him, the
favorite of other days was as any
other strange person. Why give him
any special honor? And so his peo-
pie found it the better part of wis
dom to leave Egypt, where he had
long lived so royalty, returning to
the land of their fathers.
In the history of every town there
are newcomers, a new generation,
new people "who know not Joseph"
The staid old bank on the corner that
has served the people so long, that
has kept going the old-fashioned
way, means nothing to them; the
new one opened up across the street,
while much smaller in the beginning
it is wide awake, aggressive and pro-
gressive, advertises it's service, tells
what it can do, and SO gets new
customers and often the customers
OF the other as well. For the old
saying is true that business goes
where 1t is invited and stays where
1t is treated well. Minnie A.

COMMISSIONERS AID
Fl. HALL PROJECT
Money Being Collected
to Defray Expenses
of Survey

The county commissioners THIS
week made an appropriation Of $500
to help pay Bingham county's share
of the expense of surveying and re-
porting upon the survey of the
Greater Fort Hall project, SO that
congress and official Washington
might have the facts before them re-
garding the resources that can be de-
veloped between the Presto Bench
and the head of Blackfoot river and
Grays Lake and the lower end of
the bench lands near American Falls
on the southern side of the Port Neuf
and Snake rivers.
The whole expense of the survey
and report is estimated at between
$4,000 and $1,000 and it is appor-
toned to be paid, 40 per cent by Po-
catello and vicinity, 20 per cent by
American Falls, 20 per cent by Fort
Hall and 20 per cent by Blackfoot
and vicinity. Presto Bench has al
ready expended upwards Of $4,000
in surveys and has turned in it's
records, thus cutting down the ex-
pense of the present undertaking
from about $lO,OOO TO something
over $4,000.
A committee consisting of P. G..
Johnston, F. w. Bergman and ]. H.
Early is acting for Blackfoot to col
lect our share fixed at $500, all of
which was to have been available be-
fore the first of November, but it's
collection has been delayed.
The secretary of the interior has
been here and looked over the pro-
ject as has also the special represen-
tative of the Indian department, and
they are both in accord with the pur-
poses of the project, and have prom
ised their support in getting an Inn
mediate appropriation Of half mill
lion dollars for use in construction
work the coming year.

WHAT THE RED CROSS IS DOING IN
BINGHAM COUNTY; HELPING NEEDY :
TEACHING SANITATION AND NURSING
Local Organization Rescues Family After They
Loose Their Home in Fire; Trained Nurse
Sent Thruout County to Teach Classes
in Home Nursing and Hygiene

The local Red Cross people went
out last week and rescued large
family who lost all they had in a
fire. There were six children in the
family and the mother was i'll and
everything they had went up in
smoke. They were living on a rented
farm, and it was case of destitution
as complete as when Charleston suf-
fered the earthquake or Galveston
its food, only there was just one
family suffering. Neighbors who
thought of starting out with sub
scription paper to gather money to
expend hurriedly and perhaps UNI
wisely, were beaten to it by the local
Red Cross going out and working ac-
cording to rules laid down for
emergency cases.
The family were placed in a shack
on an adjoining farm, their i'm
mediate needs were attended to,
clothing that had been saved from
the drive for the relief of the Near
East victims according to the rules
of that work was sorted over and
suitable outfits were gathered to-
gether for these people in distress
and employment was found for the
man. Bedding was obtained in the
same way, and when they were in
stalled in the shack with all their
needs supplied, the Red Cross had
bought nothing excepting some
dishes. All the rest had been sorted
out of the supplies mentioned.
That is only a sample of how many
emergencies have been met in Bing-
ham county by the activities of the
local Red Cross. 1t is getting so now
that there is really no occasion for
any committee to go to town and
canvass the business houses to get
funds to take care of widows and
orphans or others who are in need.
Money gathered in such ways is gen.
orally badly spent anyway because
those who attend to it are mex
perienced and sometimes their work
is duplicated and money wasted
while yet the family suffer for things
not included in the purchases.
The Red Cross looks after all those
things now if they are worthy of
help, and all people in distress are
considered. worthy just because they
are human beings. The work was
brought to us during the war by get
ting everybody to join and pay
dollar a year. When the war was
over and the demands for relief on
the battlefields decreased, the Or
ganization began to give more atten-
tion to people in the homes. 1t was
commenced in this county by send
ing a trained nurse to teach classes
in nursing in the principal settle
ments, Moreland, Groveland, River
side, Thomas, Aberdeen, Basalt and
other places.
Out of eighteen classes conducted
in the county, 464 women and girls
received teaching and training for
emergency work and first aid, and
the fundamentals of nursing and
sanitation. They were taught what
to do till the doctor comes, and what
to do to carry out the doctors plans

HALLOWEEN GANGS
DO some DAMAGE
''Neighbors Kids For
get Where the Line
Should be Drawn

Somebody threw a two-pound cob.
blestone thru the plate glass door at
the entrance of the Golden Rule
store Monday night, and of course
ruined the whole plate. IS
S. w. Wilson took his family to the
high school building to attend the
Halloween party being held there,
and of course, he did not take his
automobile in the house with him.
1t was finely finished car and while
they were in the house somebody
wrote lot of obscene stuff all over
the car with chalk. Mr.. Wilson
washed the chalk off, but the grit in
it had cut thru the finish and left all
the writing very plainly imbeded in
the finish. He has arranged to have
it painted again at an expense of
$S5.
Comments of this kind of stuff are
uhavailing. Everybody with a speck
of sense deplores such conduct, and
destruction. If they were perpet-
rated by the rich against the poor for
personal gain the agitators would
make an awful howl about it. It
would be interesting to know what
kind of families and under what kind
of training these acts of pure cuss-
edness arise.
Some Of the folks living in the
suburbs and along the country lanes
near town have been pestered by
punches of hoodlums from town and
country, and getting bolder and more
destructive each year. Gates are torn
off of the hinges and placed in the
road to be run over by travellers,
windows broken by showers of
stones, barn doors taken off, out
houses upset or damaged, stock
turned out Of their places and al
lowed to run off, and various other
outrages.
People who have been the victims
of these acts have become tired of
spending few hours or few days
repairing the damages each Novem-
ber and have already invested in
bear traps and loaded shotgun shells
with salt and In various ways plan
to get bounteously even.
Here is subject for the parents,
the press and the schools to work
on, to show yo thtueh TOAIN NNN
on 70 show youth the decent side of
amusements, to suggest allowable
kinds of games and pranks that peo-
pie are willing should be practiced,
and If necessary, to administer severe
punishment for those who persist in
doing damage.
OF course, 1t is not "our children"
that do these things, it is the neigh
bors kids that do all the damage,
or If "our kids" are mixed up in any
damage or anything really bad, it is
because of the presence of the
neighbors' children in the party.
"Our children" have been better
raised and are always thoughtful and
kind and would not do any real dam
age.
When all these perfectly good
children get together in gangs and
get to bantering one another to see
who can outdo the rest in cussedne ess,
they all get to be those "neighbors'
kids"

Ground Occupied by
Canning Factory to
Become Beauty Spot

Last spring M. N. Austin pur-
chased the property occupied by the
canning factory and is now leveling
and putting it in shape for intensive
cultivation. At some future time Mr..
Austin expects to erect greenhouse
on the property SO that he will be
better able to serve the public in this
line.
According to Mr.. Austin's present
plans this ground, that for a number
of years has served only as pasture,
will soon become a beauty spot along
a much Travelled road. He intends
to plant vines, shrubs and other
plants on this piece.

HIGH SCHOOLS TO
CLASH TOMORROW
Idaho Falls Coming
Down Enmasse to
Support Team

Altho Blackfoot high school drop
ped their course in art this year, the
fact remains that there are still a
few artists and painters among the
students as is evident from the
decorations on the streets today.
But in their artistic endeavors the
students have but the one subject.
That, however, is sufficient because
tomorrow B. H. S. meets Idaho Falls
high school and if all who see the
arrows and other signs will just fol-
low instructions we know what the
out come Of the game will be. Black
foot is third in the standing of the
high school teams and If they win
this one, which they will do with the
right kind of support, they will have
disposed of their strongest opponent.
Idaho Falls knows this and they
are coming down here as they came
down to attend the Southeastern
Idaho fair, everyone coming and all
coming together. And for what pur-
pose? To take this game away from
the local fellows and with it take
the championship of this section Of
the state.
Idaho Falls won from Blackfoot
last year for the first time in eleven
years and it greatly aroused the
wrath of the local players and they
are determined tomorrow. The stu
dents will carry on demonstrations
before the game and after to show
the B. H. S. spirit is always with
their team.
And the big thing in Blackfoot
tomorrow will be-follow the ar
rows.

MANY CHANGES ARE
MADE in FACTORY
Inventions De ere a s e
Labor Needed in
Making Sugar

People who have not gone thru
the Blackfoot sugar factory in recent
years will find many changes in the
mechanism since it was built in 1904.
The original machine that was
brought here from Binghamton, N.
Y, was then a somewhat antiquated
mill, and in the seventeen years the
factory has been operating, improve
ments have been made until very
little of the original machine is left.
The unloading is done from rail
road cars in pretty much the same
manner as at first, but the teams no
longer drive up on the trestle. They
upset the loads of beets upon belt
conveyor that carries them into a re-
volving cylinder with openings in 1t,
so the dirt that is jolted off of the
beets by revolving the cylinder drops
thru to a hopper from which 1t is
drawn into the wagon so the man
who brought it can haul it back to
his farm. The beets pass thru the
cylinder and fall on a belt hundreds
of feet long and they are dumped off
of the belt at any desired place to
cross belts that carry them to any
location on the yards, where they
are wanted. In this way thousands
of tons of beets are unloaded,
cleaned and stored without being
handled by man power.
The old fumes for carrying the
beets in water to the mill have been
rebuilt of concrete, devices were put
in for separating rocks and pieces Of
metal from the beets, and improved
machinery and devices for washing
them. Within the mill many
changes have been made in the
methods and machines, and the old
method of shoveling coal into the
furnaces has been displaced by auto
matte feeders that give more eco
nomical and more effective coal con-
sumption, keep up steady heat and
thus assure plenty of steam at all
times. ...
In the sacking department of the
warehouse are automatic sackers
that put the sugar in ten-pound,
fifty-pound and hundred-pound sacks
of granulated sugar, and another
machine grinds the granulated into
powdered sugar. The warehouse has
capacity of 100000 bags Of 100
pounds each, or twenty million
pounds of sugar. Divided into car
loads Of $4,000 pounds each it would
make 400 carloads, or dozen train
loads of thirty-three cars each.
