The county paper is an edu-
cational institution and it
should, therefore, be read by
every pupil in the county. Boys
ano girls should be trained
early in life TO read about things
tina. are happening today, or,
in other words, to learn history
i'm the making. The paper
should, therefore, 90 weekly IN
to every school. There should
be correspondent for the
paper in every school COM
munity. Every county paper can
be MADE a great asset in the
efforts Of the citizenship to
bring about better economic,
edL cational, social and religious
conaitions. If the county paper
is not what it should be, the
people of the county should
help to improve it.-W. +. Bond,

ton.

Enforcement Paying
Proposition
Editorial, Delaware State News
Director Elliott reports that for
every dollar spent to enforce the law
the government gets back its dollar
and about SO cents besides. The
balance sheet showed that Uncle
| Sam had over $10O,000.O0 in the
treasury and all bills paid. The
funny part of it is that the fellows
who are breaking the law are pay
| ing the bills to have themselves con-
victed.
1t is good to know that the forces
opposed to the Eighteenth amend
ment are paying the bills. 1t is good
to know that the men charged with
/ the enforcement are on the job. 1t Is
amusing to see what fools they are
who imagine they can continue tc
defy public sentiment and Uncle
Sam.
These law breakers did for awhile
have their joke and their laugh. But
the best time to laugh is with the
fellow who laughs last. How LONG

Editors Note: The year III
marked the reak OF progress IN dry
farming on the Snake River plains,
and during that spring ana cary
summer the editor Of The Republi-
can undertook to visit every dry
farm on the desert within the boun-
daries of Bingham county, to learn
ali he could from the dry farmers
themselves. Wherever the dry farm
err had something new to show him,
he was shown, and when he was
done with the campaign he had been
told and shown just about all the
dry farmers knew Of the subject.
At that time, this paper sounded a
note Of warning that the dry farm
enterprise might not be successful
and advised deeper blowing and pull
verifying of the soil, combined with
the introduction of plants and crops
better adapted to desert lands, pub
lished considerable matter based on
the experiments and demonstrations
made at the Aberdeen experimental
station and advised the dry farmers
to prepare for the worst.

At this time nearly all of the dry
farms are abandoned, some OF the
houses are moved away and most OF
the dry farms are covered with a
growth of weeds and mustard. In
another twenty years, If nothing IS
done to them, they will have re-
turned to sage brush and range
grass as they were before. There
! is a strip of country between the
dry farms and the irrigated farms
through which bitches have been ex-
tended, and the low lands are being
watered. Most of this is being done
by persons of foreign birth, who
have taken the farms abandoned by
the Americans, or have bought them

and are making living on them. in

Trucks are especially desirable, 1t

smooth carriage, and large capacity.
It Is not uncommon for large trucks
to haul as many as 300 boxes at a
load. Loose fruit Is frequently hauled
for long distances to central packing
plants, but the roads In most districts
are in excellent condition, SO that
when the trucks are not overloaded
little bruising occurs. Both wagons

BIACKFOOT'S 1922
CHAUTAUQUA

The 1922 chautauqua was about
on a par with the others OF former
wears, and was probably patronized
a little better than the average.
People who like such entertainments
find time and money to go, and
those who do not cannot be induced
to sample it, SO it has settled down
to an affair for those who want 1t.
During the war when entertainers
were in Europe and the training
camps with the soldiers 1t was nara
to get talent. Now that it is all
over, it may be easier to employ
good talent, but it does not appear
that they are any better than before.
At Pocatello in the midst of a
strike that makes business very
dull and money hard to get, the
.chautauqua guarantors sold more
than enough season tickets to put
them in the clear, but at Blackfoot
the guarantors lacked about $500 0!
covering their agreement, and had
to put up the cash.
1t seems that the community,
after declining to buy season
tickets of the local people who
signed the contract, went down IN
their pockets for great deal more
money paying single admissions, and
this did not help the guarantors at
all. The moral of the situation is
that nobody can afford to be a
guarantor and in all probability no
body will.
1t has been said by local people
that the chautauqua will come with
out guarantors, and now is a very
good time to see whether they are
forecasters of coming events. A
community that fills their tent mos
of the time, and large percentage
of them paying single admissions a
the higher rate than 1t would cos
them for season tickets, certainl!
deserves one of two things-eithel
return engagement without
guarantee or to be left off of tn
circuit and made to lose the yer!
desirable and helpful influence Q
the chautauqua-for all who atten'
the sessions know that it is a powe
for good in the community and
power for progress.

MUSICIANS UNION.
 MAKES COMPROMISE
Agrees To Fox's Managers Request That He Be Permitted To Engage
 Only Organist For Summer

At a conference held last evening between the members of the local Musicians Union and Manager Harry Burke of Fox's theater. the union leaders agreed to the request made by the theater man that he be per mitted to employ only an organist during the period his theater is showing only motion pictures. In return, Mir. Burke agreed to engage union musician. retain the services of the union movie operator and keep his theater a union manned play house.
 Last nights conference has ami cably ended what for a time seemed to threaten serious breach between the stage hands union and the musi clans union and the Fox circuit of theaters.
 When Fox's eliminated the vaude- vile for the summer and went onto a straight movie program, the mana cement laid off the orchestra as a measure of economy for the dull sea- son. Owing to a previous rule of the musicians union, the members in ols1cu Iidt ne maintain i've piece orchestra in this theater since 1t seat ed more than 800 people, no matter what sort of a performance he had.
 The management could not agree to that arrangement for obvious req sons and as result the union or dered the union movie operator to quit on July 5. In addition, there was some talk about trying to have the Fox theater circuit put on the unfair list" in case the five musicians were not retained and the manage ment, under compulsion, was made to engage non-union help.
 The conference, however, has set tied the problems and Fox's will con- tinue to operate as a union theater.
