Philadelphia. April 27.-The ship

Merchant Marine can be operated at n

William Cramp and Sons Ship and
Engine Building Company, today told
stockholders in submitting the an
nual report OF the company, which
showed a decrease in net earnings for
the fiscal year ended December 81,
1921. of more than three quarters Of a
million dollars, as compared with the
year previous.
And" Mr.. Null added, the mer-
chant marine cannot operate at a
profit unless there are removed the
severe handicaps with which 1t has
been confronted in competing with
foreign shipping.
In the event that constructive legis-
latlon will be enacted by Congress. IT
| is believed the principal ship yards
OF the United States will be occupied
in the construction of high grade pas
senger vessels, and also IN the CONVEX

A bad accident occurred Sunday
when the little son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Shoemaker pulled pile Of ties over
on him. The scalp was badly cut
and torn back from the forehead
and one leg was broken. The little
fellow was taken to the Shelley
hospital. At present it is believed
his recovery is possible.

child welfare club attended the very
helpful lectures given by the state
health department at Blackfoot.
There were English services last

Tell Teachers
OF the Program
Continued from Page One)

When inquiries were made as to
why 50 many teachers did not at
tend the musical, the reason gener-
ally given was that they did not
suppose it would be very good or 1t
would not be free. The teachers
had generally been admitted to en-
tertainments at the institute on pay
ment of 25 cents in connection with
the complimentary ticket, so they
made a mental deduction of 25 cents
from the value of the entertain
ments they had been attending and
thought it wasn't going to be worth
while. OF course they learned diff
ferently when 1t was over.
The Commercial club wants the
teachers to go in free to hear Madam
Sootne, but last years experience
brought forth suggestions that they
be charged rs cents or SO cents or
enough to make them believe it was
good, and enough to keep them from
giving away their tickets to local
people, who ought to buy tickets OF
their own. The committee depends
on the sale of tickets at 81 each, to
make ends meet on the musical, and
make the teachers the guests of the
town. If it is handled in any other
way it will reflect upon the hospital
ity of the town. If a teacher offers
you one of those complimentary
tickets, you will be justified in de-
clining it and saying that you have
one or that you believe they are not
transferable or that the free tickets
are intended only for teachers and
that you would not like to impose
upon the generosity of the club. The
probability is that it will be entirely
true to say that you have ticket,
for the town and some of the
country will be canvassed to sell
enough if possible to keep up to the
estimate of what will be needed to
keep the treasury from breaking

Hunters Swamped
in: the Springfield
Lake Last Sunday

Sunday was the opening day for
duck hunters, and the Elks lodges of
Blackfoot and Pocatello had planned
to have the duck feeds on Monday
evening. The hunters from both
towns went out to the Springfield
and Sterling country in great num-
bers and at the break of day began
to lombard the ducks.
There were ducks in great num-
bers, but as they hurried from one
lake or pond, to another, they soon
became impressed with the fact that
the whole world had turned against
them, and they began to fly high
looking for safe places. Many of
the hunters in their determination
to get shot, plugged away at them
when they were at long range and
thereby saved the ducks and gave
more complete information to the
game as to where the enemy lay.
Hunters kept arriving turnout the
day and the bombardment was
great, but the amount of game Sc
cured was small The Blackfoot
men bagged total of eighty-flve
ducks and had their feed on Monday
evening.
There was much disappointment
in the days sport. 1t is said that
not all the hunters were sportsmen,
and some of them showed so little Of
courtesy that is was disgusting. Pri-
vate property that had been pla-
carded according to law against
trespasing was overrun till the court
rooms would not have been able to
take care of all the accused if they
had been hailed into court. In vain
did the holders of the property go
out and protest against the unlawful
proceedings on their placarded fields
and ponds; the trespassers walked
all over them and scared away the
game, where others were taking pre-
cautions to get an occasional shot.
There was a rip-roaring time, but
general disappointment on account
Of the crowds and the absence of
craftsmanship.
