Alexander Speaks
to Large Audience

cratic ticket, delivered an address to
a large audience who received his
remarks with much show of inter-
est. C. E. Harris, of Blackfoot,
Democratic candidate for district
judge, presided at the meeting. The
preliminary speakers were John r.
Foulks, of Blackfoot, candidate for
state senator and E. 0. Thompson,
of Idaho Falls, candidate for lieuten-
ant governor.
M. Alexander was then introduced
by Mr.. Harris and spoke on tax
problems and against the cabinet

and county records to back up his
statements. He made many prom
ises to the people If he was elected
in the way of reducing taxes and
abolishing superfluous offices. His
address opened the eyes of the
people on many points and gave
them something to think about in
preparation for the coming election.

DAIRY EXCURSION
MEN HEARD FROM
Still Show Interest in
Idaho as a Dairy
State

BOISE, Sept. 9.-That members
of the eastern dairy commission
which recently toured southern
Idaho in the interests of opening UP
the section as a dairy center are
maintaining an Individual interest
in Idaho is evidenced in the letters
Mayor E. B. Sherman has. received
from the members of the commits
sion since their return home.
Writing from the University of
Wisconsin, where he is head of the
department of animal husbandy, E.
H. harrington says:
81 believe that the dairy industry
in Idaho is only about five years old
and that it has a number of herds OF
cows fully equal to those we have in
Wisconsin, where the industry is
fifty years old.
Regarding a probable Oversup-
ply, l think there is no possibility of
such an occurrence" he continues.
First, because the human popula-
tion is increasing a great deal more
than the COW population; and,
second, because great deal OF
money is now being spent for the
purpose of advertising the ex-
ceptionally high food value of dairy
products"
"Some of the party are contem-
plating coming back there to live,"
is the way G. l.. Burlington of the
AYRSHIRE Breeders association de-
scribes Idaho's impression on the
commission.

BIG AGRICULTURAL
SHOWS ARE COMING
Bingham County Farm
ers Urged to Exhibit
Produce

Bingham county farmers should
not fail to be represented in at least
three of the agricultural displays
which will be held next week. These
three shows are Of great Importance
to us and we should not lose an OPP
portunity to show the people of the
northwest what kind Of crops we
raise in this county.
The second annual Northwest
Grain and Hay Show will be held at
Pendleton, Ore, September 1928,
1922. Entries are open to Oregon,
Washington, Idaho and Montana.
This show is held for the purpose of
encouraging and stimulating more
profitable grain and forage crop
production in the northwest. Last
year Idaho was represented with but
two entries, but this year we are go
ing to make a showing. With the
pure seed we have in the state,
Idaho should rank high in the win
nings on the special varieties such
as Dicklow, Early Baart, Jenkins
Club, Turkey Red, and barley and
oats in their respective classes. Ex-

later than Saturday, Sept. 16, 1922.
All applications for entry must be in
the hands of the secretary not later
than September Is.
The First Annual Snake River
Valley Potato Show will be held in
connection with the Malheur county
fair at Ontaria, Ore., September
1922. Anyone in Oregon or Idaho
may compete in this contest. Com
petition, however, is limited to the
Rural type Of potatoes. Liberal
premiums are offered and Bingham
county's splendid potatoes should be
in evidence.
And don't forget our Southeast

in Blackfoot next week. This fair
is going to be dandy. Practically
all of the adjoining counties are go

Winter Project
Work for Agri-
culture Students

Project work is required with a
course in agriculture in the Black
foot high school and consists of a
farm job carried on at the home
farm or, In the case of the boy liv-
ing in town, on rented land cared for
by himself. The purpose of the pro-
ject is to combine theory of the
school room with actual practice.
Students receive one credit for each
project and are graded as in high
school work.
This coming winter 1t will be pos
sible for the boys to take feeding
projects of nature where good
deal can be learned and an oppor-
tunity afforded to earn some money.
Pure-bred calves will be distri-
buted to the boys with nothing paid
to start with. At the end Of the
year the boys can sell their calves
for what they can get, after exhibit
ing them at the fair, and will pay
for the calf, per pound, 2 cents less
than he got for it. For instance If
the calf weighed 800 pounds when
1t was received and 1000 pounds
when sold and the boy received 12
cents pound, which would be 1920,
he would have to pay 10 cents a
pound for the 300 pound calf he
bought, thus netting him. 500. An
accurate record of the feeding is re-
quired as it is an experiment car
ried on by a corporation Of pure
bred cattle mems associations in
connection with Mr.. Rhinehart,

man.

FOOTBALL SEASON
STARTS in EARNEST
New Boys Give Pro-
spects Of Exception
ally Good Team

The football season started in
earnest Wednesday when the
juniors and seniors clashed with the
freshmen and sophomores of the
high school in. the first of, the class
games. The game was close and
some of the new boys showed up
wonderfully.
The sophomores and freshmen
made the first touchdown when Mer-
rill Hammond carried the ball In
two end runs over half way down
the field to within ten yards Of the
goal and Harvey Bell and Herbert
Cone carried it over the goal in two
line smashes. In the third quarter
the juniors and seniors made goal
on freak play. The ball was
passed from the center and the full
back missed it then recovered 1t and
made a pass toward his goal which
was meant for no one in particular,
but was caught by Boyd Hodson,
who had clear field for the goal
and made use of it. The juniors and
seniors then made another point by
carrying the ball over the line in a
five yard center drive and. won the
game by one point.
The boys who showed up most in
the game were Barney Miller, Her
bert Cone, Graham Parkinson and
Harry Martin for line smashing,
Merrill Hammond for back field
work, Joseph Cutler for catching
passes and tackling and Percy
Taylor for tackling. Blackfoot high
school will have hard team to beat
this year.

BIG 1922 FAIR
| STARTS TUESDAY
Indians Plan Unusually
Fine Program for
First Day

The fair opens on Tuesday and
continues for four days. The pro-
gram the first day is put on by the
Indians under the leadership of
Ralph Dixey and begins at o'clock
with street parade Of about 150
Indians. The parade makes the cir
cult of Broadway, one block on
Bridge, up Main and into and
around the track, and then the wild
west parts begin. The program will
be short and good and includes the
commissioners derby. Mr.. Dixey
starts when he says he will, and puts
things right thru until the close.
People should assemble on the
streets before 2 o'clock and we sug-
gest that they applaud generously
everything they are pleased with or
that they think has merit. Remem-
ber the Indians are playing the
white mans game when they put on
fair or a show, and 1t must neces-
sarily conform to his character and
disposition and training, not ours.
They are doing us favor when they
make all these preparations and ex-
hibit for our benefit, and expressions
of approval and appreciation are due
them if it is good, and it will be.
The parade will be led by three
Indians dressed and mounted as
they were before the white men
came among. them. Then follows a
section of fifteen in beaded costumes,
then fifteen in modern dress,
twenty-five Indian cowboys, the Ft.
Hall Indian band of fifteen pieces
and seventy-five school children
from Ft. Hall on two or more trucks,
exhibiting some of their own handi-
work.
Ralph Dixey will lead the parade
on his favorite charger, and will
direct the program. The whole event
will answer the question, What
are the Indians doing?"
The second day at the fair will be
one harness race of three heats and
two fast running races as the main
features, followed by the commits
sioners' derby.
The third day will present cow
boy relay race and one Indian relay
race and the commissioners derby.
The fourth day presents as the
main feature, dog and pony show
and the commissioners derby. The
contestants from the three COM
missioners districts will compete
among themselves the first three
days and the winners in the respec-
tive districts will run against each
other the fourth day.

THE SOLDIER BONUS BILL DISCUSSED

are Of less Importance in the. eyes
of congress than the swivel-chair
clerks, who sat on cushions in Wash
ington and elsewhere and never
even smelled powder-yet congress
passed their bonus without batting
an eye. Pull-political pull. Most
of those clerks were sons or daugh-
ters or relatives of congressman
voting for 1t. Yet these same con-
gressmen become extremely patri0-
tic when speaking of the actual
soldiers, and think they are un-
patriotic to even ask for adjusted
compensation. The name bonus bill
Is a nisnomer. Webster's new in
ternational dictionary defines COM
pensation as "a balancing Of ac-
counts" That which constitutes or
is regarded as an equivalent or re-
compense; that which makes good
the lack or variation of something
else; that which compensates for
loss or privation. Bonus, from
Latin, means good. Something given
in addition to what is ordinarily re-
ceived by or strictly due the recipi-
tent.. Specifically q premium given
for loan, an extra dividend to the
shareholders Of company out Of
accumulated profits, money or other
valuables given in addition to an
agreed compensation.
The two definitions given above
illustrate the reason why the Ameri-
can Legion uses the term adjusted

in referring to the legislative meas
ures Of justice which are now be-
fore congress. The American Legion
contends that the granting of ad-

COMMERCIAL CLUB
MET WEDNESDAY,.
Idaho Falls Convention
Reported. Plan for
Institute Week

AC mo0JtuS OF Lu0 COmm0TCldl
club held on Wednesday evening, j.
G. Hartong reported upon the action
of the convention of Commercial
clubs held at Idaho Falls on Tues
day. Only few towns we're repre-
sented and they discussed matters of
freight rates on potatoes, and tele-
graphed request to our representa-
tiyes in Washington, asking them to
use their influence In getting the
present rate on potatoes extended
instead Of letting it lapse on Septem-
ber 80. They discussed the feasibil-
ity of legislation to levy gasoline
tax to get money to pave the Yel-
lowstone highway from the Utah
line to the southwest corner Of the
park. The federal government has
appropriated $180,00O for making
the new road from there to Old
Faithful, and it will take about
three years to complete it, making it
the best entrance to the park.
j. A. Carnahan and James
Pendlebury, potato dealers were
present at the Blackfoot meeting,
and said that it would not matter if
the freight rate were wiped out en-
tirely, SO long as farmers will allow
their potatoes to be shipped on con-
signment they will not realize on
them. They reported that one firm
doing large business in this state
has already contracted 1000 cars on
consignment, and the dealers who
send them to market are interested
only in selling them for enough to
pay the freight and $40 a car COM
mission for themselves. If the
freight was more they would try to
cover that, and if it were less they
would cut the price lower if neces-
sary to keep on selling. They have
nothing at stake, the farmers hav-
ing furnished the goods for them to
market, and the freight and the
dealers commission are paid first,
the farmer being paid last or not
paid at all if there is nothing left
for him.
The secretary was instructed to
inform the executive committee of
the league of commercial clubs of
this feature of the case and urge
them to work on it to get growers
to stop consigning their crops,
which amounts to giving them away
and keeping the price down.
A discussion of the means by
which cheese factory or cream
cry could be secured for this locality
and thus enable the dairy men to
market their product to better ad-
vantage resulted in an agreement, to
secure information needed to start
the work of increasing the dairy
herds to get sufficient volume Of
cream and milk that can be de-
pended on to keep the institution
going, and an increasing supply Of
It. The club is determined to push
the matter to the limit of their
ability.
Committees were appointed to
handle the local work connected
with the teachers institute, as fol-
lows:
o. Buchanan and o. E. Bills,
autos; Mrs. Faulconer and James
Johnston, rooms; Neil F. Boyle and
j. A. Collins, meals; H. D. Mac
Cosham and e. D. Bloom, entertain
ment; James Ryan, l.. B. Dustin, H.
B. Kinney and Byrd Trego, finance.
These committees will hold a
meeting at o'clock this Friday
evening.

Recently MrS. r. II. Dehdy, Stdte
War Mother, gave an address at
three district conventions of War
Mothers in which she discussed the
bonus bill and the disqualification
problem. Below are her remarks on
the bonus bill, we will print her re-
marks on the disqualification prob
lem next week:
The Bonus Bill
zone Of the objects of the War
Mothers association is to assist the
American Legion in all ways. To-
day they are making strenuous ef-
fort to secure favorable legislation
for adjusted compensation and bet
ter hospital facilities. 1t is our
duty as mothers to be thoroly in
formed upon each of these problems
so as to present them intelligently
to others.
"The bonus bill sponsored by the
American Legion, known as the
Sweet bill was passed by the House
of Representatives year and half
ago, but was defeated, at the request
Of Pres. Harding, and turned back
to the senate finance committee. The
bill in its present form is the pro-
duct Of Senator McCumber and
Representative Fordney and the
most important changes from the
original measure are the elimination
of the cash bonus and reclamation
features. The bill Is not nearly. so
good as the Sweet bill was, and does
not carry the same provisions, how
ever, half loaf Is better than moth
ing. 1t seems unfair that the men

firing line, and those who trained
and were waiting to 60 overseas,

SOME FALL PRIMARIES

In Tuesdays primaries in Mas
sachusettes, Senator Lodge was re-
nominated by the Republicans by a
large majority, this being considered
to some extent an endorsement of
his opposition to the League of

Senator Townsend of Michigan,
Senator Poindexter Of Washington
were nominated. Former Governor

A Pleasant Trip
To Putnam Springs

F0Opl0 going 10 the canyons now
will find the autumn leaves turning
to many hues and lovers of nature
wanting to get away from stores and
offices should make good use of the
time that remains of good roads and
no snow and rain to interfere with
camping or pleasure seeking.
A few days ago party went to
Putnam springs on the headwaters
of Ross Fork creek, to eat dinner by
waters that once formed the basis
Of engineers estimates to see If it
would be practical to pipe 1t into
Blackfoot. The distance to the
springs by road is about thirty miles
via Ft. Hall, or twenty-seven via
Lincoln creek and Twitchell's ranch
near the foot of Mt. Putnam.
There are chickens and trout on
this route, but none for the white
man, since the country belongs to
the reservation Berries there are
some, and the Indian does not care
II you pick them, but good many
white people have a lust for tearing
or cutting off the limbs that bear the
fruit and the Indian does not like
this.
Where the creek flows away down
the slope below Putnam springs are
beaver dams and Corresponding
pools of cold, clear water. Beavers
are very cautious and do not work
when people are about. Visitors
can go along thru the brush and
groves and find where the beaver
folks have just been working, leav-
ing the water muddy and their paths
slick, where they have slipped into
the pool carrying or dragging limbs.
In the little groves of quaking
aspens may be seen the freshly cut
saplings or the stumps of saplings
that have been cut up and dragged
away down the slope to the water.
The chips lie about the stumps
where they were hacked off, but all
the poles have been removed with
leaves and branches, excepting some
that accidentally broke off in the
moving. The beaver cuts with his
teeth, cutting at two places on the
tree, and tearing or splitting out the
intervening wood as chips. The
larger the tree, the longer the chips
are made, and when the tree falls
he cuts it into sections small enough
for them to drag it away. When
they get 1t into the water they float
it thru the pond to the part Of the
dam where 1t is to be used or to the
house where it is to be stored for
winter food, The dam is made to
form the pond, and then the house
is made under water, the top Of it
coming up out Of the water, and the
entrance being under water. The
party that visited the beaver haunts
at the Putnam springs did not find
the location Of any of their houses,
but they patroled only one side OF
the stream. "A search OF the eastern
bank might reveal the abode OF
these busy people. The dams are
arranged in series extending far
down the creek, and do. not show
that any work has been done on
them in recent months, SO the visit
ors reasoned that the wood cutting
must be for winter food.
A sample of the beaver wood as
they cut it is on exhibit at the west
ern window of The Republican Of
flee, showing how they notch 1t and
how the chips appear. The beavers
use the bark for food.

COMMISSIONERS IN SESSION

The county commissioners have
