Blackfoot Defeats
Fort Hall Saturday

Saturday the Blackfoot. high
school football team motored to
Fort Hall and played the Indian
school team, defeating them with a
score of rs to IL. The Indians have
practically the same team that they
had last year and they made the
local boys fight hard for their touch
downs. Nineteen boys went down
from Blackfoot and they all played.
In the first half only two or three
changes were made and at the end
aof the half the score stood rs to 0
in Blackfoot's favor. In the second
half the quarterback, ful-back and
one half-back were taken out and
replaced with other men and three
or four other changes made before
the end of the game. AS result
of the many changes, with two last
years men out, the Indians made
two touchdowns and made the score
rs to IL.
The experience gained by the new
men in the game was worth two
weeks good practice altho nearly all
of them were bruised up in the
game. Those other than letter men
who showed up in the game were
Herbert Cone, Barney Miller, Mer-
rill Hammond and Boyd Hodson.
Principal Oscar Christensen and

played the game Saturday and are

HUNTING PARTY PASSES

On Thursday morning a hunting
party of ten braves from the land OF
the Wabash, more especially the old
town of Galleon, Ohio, passed thru
the land Of the Blackfeet on their
way to the upper elbow of the South
Fork Of Snake river, where the can
yon takes the turn westward from
Jackson Hole toward the land of
great plains and irrigated potato
fields.
These bucks from the tribe of the
Buckeye take annual trips outbound
from the land where "Laddie' lived,
and this time they travelled by rail
$500 miles to use their rods and
guns and get some spring water
freth from the fountain. They said
it was most too far to come, but that
too far was just right for them.
They call themselves the Big Four
Hunting club, and while they were
taking a look at Blackfoot we
learned that a fellow named Billy
McCarty was the life Of the club,
and giant named Erfurt responded
to the name of Little Eva" A
buck named Kelley was anxious
about breakfast at breakfast time,
land before) and anxious about din
ner before dinner time. A dude in
the tribe named Curren bent his
mustash frequently while he listened
TO information about the size of the
valley and the excellence of its an
nual crop of potatoes.

VETERANS SUFFER FROM COLD
Measure Offered to Provide Shiverin9
Men With Clothing Now Being
Eaten by Moths.

War veterans are suffering from
the cold in the very shadow Of ware
houses where vast quantities of sur
plus army clothing lie idle. This
anomalous condition will be righted If
a bill favorably reported in the house
by the military affairs committee is
passed.
The bill authorizes the secretary of
war to cooperate with the surgeon
general in providing all disabled vet
Grams under care in government hos
pitfalls and institutions with adequate
clothing and equipment. Thousands
of dollars worth Of this material is
now stored away, inviting moths,
while thousands of former soldiers are
shivering from exposure.
House leaders have demanded a
special rule for consideration Of the
measure. Statements were made on
the floor that If congress could rush
through an appropriation of $20O00.-
600 for starving Russians, it ought to
be able to put through simple bill to
help cold service men.

NEED COOPERATIVE
BULL ASSOCIATION
More Care Needed in
the Breeding of
Livestock

There is lack Of definite purpose
in the breeding OF livestock on the
part of the American farmer. The
farmer who has only a few cows
usually has them bred to the near
est available bull, often without re-
gard to breeding or breed. The re.
suit Is a pr0miscious admixture Of
breeds and lack of Improvement.
The cost Of bull service also falls
heavily on the commercial dairyman
with a small herd, as bulls must be
changed every two or three years to
avoid inbreeding. He, therefore, as
q rule, buys a bull calf from the
nearest neighbor who keeps pure
bred cattle OF the breed in which he
is Interested. Too often cost is the
first consideration. Too seldom Is
any authentic production record of
the. bulls ancestors available. The
result is q lack Of Improvement.
Though q. great bull may occasion
ally be secured In this way he will
In nearly every case have been dis
posed of before his heifers come in
milk and his value known. In this
way many of the greatest bulls have
been lost to the dairy industry. "A
Cooperative Bull association will
remedy these difficulties.
The Cooperative Bull association
is a farmers OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES pur-
pose is the join ownership, use, and
exchange OF three or more high
class purebred bulls. The territory
covered by an association is divided
into three or more breeding blocks,
and bull is stationed in each block
for the service of the forty to sixty
cows in the block. Every two years
the bulls are interchanged. There
fore at the initial cost, a bull for
every fifty COWS is provided for six
or more years.
Thus the cost of bull service is
greatly reduced, the very best bulls
can be obtained, and the man with
limited means and only few. cows
is enabled to improve his herd. Bulls
of outstanding merit are preserved
for their entire period Of usefulness.
Associations of this kind teach CO.
operation, introduce better methods
of feeding and management, en-
courage careful selection of cows
and calves, intelligently fight infect
ious diseases of cattle and assist in
the marketing of dairy stock and
dairy produce.
Aebull association, in Bingham
county would mean great deal to
the dairy industry. County Agent
Thomas will make an effort in the
near future to organize such an as

American army officers are now hold

The French admired the box-like

they are now using are part of the
huge mass of war material bought
from the army by the French govern

Some Very Fine
SUBURBAN Gardens

Frank Rossetter has a five-acre
tract in the Kennedy addition and
has it pretty we'll set to fruit trees.
In the openings in this sylvan para
disc he raises garden truck that at
tracts people who are fond of good
meals and good lunches.
Mr.. Rossetter has set an example
Of pruning trees that is commended
to the consideration of all the COM
munity. He shapes them so that
they do not stand high in the air,
but on the contrary, stand low and
the fruit can be picked with little or
no climbing, and the winds of spring
do not strain the trees as it does
where they stand high. He prunes
them with another purpose in view
getting the sunlight into the
center of the tree as we'll as the
outer branches. BY making COM
PARSONS you will see that most of
the fruit trees in this county have
rather compact tops with limbs so
close together that it is difficult to
climb into it. and the shade in it is
dense. But cutting off the top of
the young tree when it is planted, it
causes the limbs to come out on the
side. Then by keeping them
pruned to encourage growth away
from the center, one gets the effect
we are trying to describe. A few
main limbs widely separated from
each other, ont too many branches
allowed to grow out on the sides of
them, and you have thin, scattered
tip, close to the earth. The sun
shines all thru it, the fruit grows
fewer in numbers, but larger in size,
and people observing its worth.
make a path to your doorway to
buy it.
That is the experience of Mr.. and
Mrs. Rossetter at their home in the
Kennedy addition. People drive in
from all directions, and some from
Pocatello, rush around and admire
the fruit and vegetables, and some
times say almost reverently, would
you sell some of these?" They saw
1t almost like they would if they
were asking the same question
about the pet cat or the children.

A BELL RINGER

II you owned house you would
not sleep over night until you had
placed fire insurance on it. That is
protection. That is, however, not
the only reason you buy fire insur-.
ance. Because the fact that you
hear the bell ring, see the smoke
and watch the fire trucks go by so
impresses you that you do not know
but what your house may be next;
you buy.
Now, If every time a man died
the bells rang and the engines went
by you would see Beebe about your
