WE HATE TO MENTION 1T

The Republican office usually
sends out subscription statements to
subscribers at about the close of the
year, but so many families are dead
broke this fall we dislike to say a
word to them about the accounts.
We don't know who is broke and
who is able to pay all and who is
able to pay part, and it costs us $40
or $50 to send out the full set Of
statements. We may delay sending
the statements till some time next
year, and in the meantime we ask
that those who can shall send in
such payments as they can spare US.
Two cent stamps are acceptable for
small amounts, and they all help.
Those who paid in advance be-
fore we changed to weekly re-
ceive extensions to equalize the diff
ference in price between the tri-
weekly or the semi-weekly and the
weekly. tt

SCHOOL BOARD MET

On Monday evening the Blackfoot
school board held its regular
monthly meeting and as there was
not much routine business they took
an hour or two for chat on school
subjects. Educational week was
over and there had been consider
able in newspapers, and some town
talk, and they found good many
things to talk about.
Some had read the Idaho States
mans daily reports and comments
on Boise schools, and our school
board felt little chesty over the
fact that they had had supervisors
and discarded them before the
capital city found out thru the par
ents that they were Of no value. =.
There was some discussion Of the
articles that had been published re-
Gently in The Idaho Republican, and
there was considerable endorsement
of what was published. The board
has long felt that social affairs in
terfered too much with school work,
and last year they reduced the num-
Der of social activities given under
school auspices. This year they are
reducing them still further, but par
ents have not known much about
their policy, and have not felt the
need Of cooperating. The board
wishes parents to know that fewer
social activities at tines that inter-
fere with study will result in more
thoro work by pupils. The board
would like it if there was a means
of reaching a common understand
ing about these things and working
to the same objective without the
Misunderstanding and misinforma-
tion that seem to creep in.
They find that there is prevail
ing disposition to want everything
and fence around it, SO to speak,
for school purposes, but that when
it is found that it is beyond our
means, it is generally acceptable
without the fence. The board
recognizes the fact that times are
hard and that it Is not only ques-
tion Of school money, but the family
purse that must be protected from
CAJ1 uNo6QhCOs 1hOys" Oh y nOOPAA6
within the budget and below it this
fall because they know that there Is
going to be a big block of unpaid
taxes, and that. will reduce the
amount Of money actually available
and they do not want to close, the
schools early on account OF delin-
quent taxes. W..
The teachers this year have stuck
right to their Jobs, seemingly having
had no sickness and no troubles to
call them away from school duty.
On every order for warrants drawn,
the secretary writes in the amount
of money in the budget and the bal
ance remaining when that order is
written, and when that is exhausted
the school will be out.
When the school meeting ad-
journed it was agreed that this one
had been a pleasant meeting and
somewhat of leisurely visit en-
joyed by all .e

ROTARIANS CELEBRATE

Tuesday evening the Rotarians
had their ladies with them at dinner
and there was a different program
than usual. Judge Ralph Adair was
the toast master, and they sat ,un-
til about midnight to finish off the
fun.
They began with the heavy stuff,
taxation, direct and indirect, by
Senator Whitcomb, and finished
with toy balloons engineered by Mr..
Gagon, and the ladies doing the
lung test to blow them up.
They had an old fashioned spell
ing bee, and J. H. Andersen acted as
school master, giving OUT the
words to spell them down on, until
he got Rev. Gillian OF take his place
"pronouncing" the words. People
went down on such easy words, II
1t had been students the schools
would have come in for a roast. But
some of the folks were pretty foxy
and stood UP for a good while.
Harry Kinney and Mrs. JohnBoyle
were the last ones down, and some
Of the other folks sat around green
with envy wishing they could spell
too.
The winter chautauqua course
closed at Moreland that evening and
quintette of pretty girls came in
out Of the snow and cold and re-
sponded to request to give them
smoe music.
They also cracked some jokes and
told some good stories and showed
the assemblage that they were regu-
lar fellows, and entitled to be
known as Johnny on the spot,
George Gagon handed toy bal
looms to six ladies and made the
lung test seeing who could "bust
'em" first. He tried them by skies
till he had five winners from five
different skies, and then he put on
sort of commissioners derby" to
see who could beat the champs. Mrs
Hudson, wife of DR.. B. H. Hudson
won the grand prize.
Bobby Robbins and Mrs. Virginia
Liljenquist furnished music thruout
the evening.

LIKED BLACKGFOOT BETTER

An item in the Fremont County
News of last issue says:
"E. M. Kennedy, Of Blackfoot, Is
in town for couple of days on mat
ters. of business. Mr.. Kennedy Is
vice-president of the First National
Bank at Blackfoot, and has various
business interests there. He Is look
ing over the town with considerable
interest, as he visited this section
,twenty-one years ago looking for q
farm. Egin Bench land, near town
was then selling at $40 per acre, he
says, but he didn't think it was
worth it and didn't buy. Mr.. Ken
nedy. says the rumor that the First
National Bank at Blackf0ot was
financially interested in the st.
Anthony Bank & Trust Co., recently
closed, is without foundation.
Blackfoot interests withdrew over
five years ago, at the time the own
ership of the st. Anthony bank
passed into the hands Of st.
Anthony people.

cash than any other class of people
in the farming industry. The upper
Snake river valley is well located
and bids we'll for the dairy business
Great quantities of feed are pro-
duced each year that would return
to the producer more money thru a
good dairy COW than thru any Other
