Dern Wins Bout at
at Legion Hall
Friday Evening

The wrestling match at the Ameri-
can Legion hall Friday night was
attended by about $50 people, mostly
men, but some women were present.

joyed by all, especially two small
boys about six years old known as
Red and Green Repers. They wres-
tied for ten minutes and kept the
audience in an uproar, ending the
bout in a draw.
They were followed by Merritt
Anderson and Clyde jolly, who
lasted nine minutes and forty
seconds when Jolly won.

LOCAL MERCHANTS
RETURN FROM EAST
Business Not Very Brisk
in Eastern
States

II. q. IaVey, manager VI IAe
Brown-Hart company, in speaking OF
the aspects of business as he saw 1t
in the east says things are not look
ing so very brisk, but that it Is bet
ter at Boston and New York than 1t
is at Chicago. He accounts for that
on the theory that most of the textile
mills are in the east, and the auto
mobile factories and steel mills are
farther west, and Chicago and other
cities in that section are affected by
the slump in automobile industries
and not helped much by the textile
mills operating or laying off.
The question Of wages In the
factories that was expected to be set
tied year or more ago has not yet
come to focus. Most of the work
that is being done now in manu-
featuring cloth into garments is done
by the lowest bidders, and they have
to plan for high efficiency to meet
the lower prices Of the made-up
goods, tho they still pay high wages
Mr.. Ryan Talks
James Ryan, manager Of the
Golden Rule Store, says he did not
find much that was new in his last
trip. He says that in all his many
trips to the big markets he has lis
tened to what everybody tells per-
son and to their reasoning, and ne
finds that it can never be depended
on. 1t is just as liable to turn out
some other way as to come as they
predicted. Two years ago the whole
sale markets were full Of the talR
that merchants should buy plenty
| and that there was no chance fol
prices to slump before they coulc
work off their stocks. They sale
there was such scarcity of goods ir
the world that it was bound to be
gradual change when it came. Mr.
Ryan heard that talk on all sides anc
had hardly got home from his buy
ing trip when things began to tighter
up and prices decrease rapidly.
The wholesalers all seem to b'
loaded up with goods at the presen
time, but the factories are not doint
much and seem to be waiting for de
mand to clean up the supply. Th'
mills that are operating are onl!
filing definite orders which the.
have booked.
Mr.. Ryan says he finds two schools
of business philosophy in the east
One is that there will be no pro
nounced change in business condi
tions until farmers have raised
crop and sold part of it at fair prices
The other is that things will be at
fected by politics and elections-th
party lin power trying to max
good and have business satisfactory
and succeeding or failing as the
may be able. Mr.. Ryan does not So,

GOOD SHOWS

The Blackfoot theaters are bring
ing some unusually good shows and
this week witnessed some Of them.
''The Four Horsemen of the Apoca-
lypse" at the Rialto on Tuesday and
Wednesday and way Down East" at
the Isis on Tuesday, Wednesday and
Thursday were mile posts in super
ior picture scenes at Blackfoot

still hunt for the best things 1t Is
possible to obtain and the public may
safely be expecting others.

VISITOR BOOSTS
FOR BLACKFOOT
Finds Friendly Spirit
Among the Men
of Business

A man who used to visit Blackfoot
often and who kept in rather close
touch with towns in the Snake river
valley, was in Blackfoot few days
ago and said the town was looking
good. Then he went farther and
said 1t is looking better than good
many other towns he knew OF, and
Infinitely better than his own town.
He went on with comparisons and
said that the banks at Blackfoot have
not failed, that wildcat investments
have not been made in any consider
able quantity by Blackfoot people.
that they still stand pat and deposit
their money in the banks instead OF
withdrawing it from circulation. He.
said that in his own town the banks
had done a number OF .nings that
destroyed the good will and conf
dence of the people, and they had
withdrawn their deposits and that In
turn had made a deplorable condi-
tion.
He said that bankers in his town
had taken too much security for
loans, or had loaned too miserly on
good security and had prevented peo-
pie from getting into a position to
take advantage of the war finance
relief that is now being offered. He
said that some of the bankers in MS
town had gone to the extent Of look
ing over their loans and securities
and where the security was large and
the loans were small, they had fore
closed, while in case of the larger
loans, where the security was not
worth much more than the amount
loaned they still keep carrying them
rather than close them out. Circum-
stances of that kind constantly COM
ing to light, he says, creates leei,
ing of bitterness that is substantlai
liability to the community.
This visitor to Blackfoot remarked
that he had been around town mix
ing with business men enough to op-
serye~that there is a friendly spirit
among them, and disposition to
null together, and he said he con-
sdered that that was valuable
factor and a resource to the town. He
said he felt sure that a town so sit
uated will recover sooner from It's
financial troubles than where this
other condition exists. He thinks
they will be quicker to take courage
quicker to act when there Is a pro-
spect Of doing something for public
benefit and will attract attention to
themselves in the early stages Of re-
covery Of prosperous days. isis

MAY HAVE A FAIR

The county commissioners have
had requests from good many
gatherings of taxpayers at canal
meetings, advising them that It was
their wish to have fair in 1922, and
the board called James Duckworth,
w. H. Stufflebeam and George A.
Line in to act as finance committee
to see il they could put on a fair that
should cost the county government
not more than $4,000.
This committee decided to go over
the matter and make report to the
board as to what they thought they
could do. The committee planned to
meet on Thursday evening.

TO Be
PLAYED THIS WEEK

The annual club championship
golf tournament at the Fairmont
Country Club has narrowed down
to the semi-tlnals matches to be
played this week, and parings arc
T. E. johnson vs.. Bob Hood and q.
F. Hartley vs.. G. T. Watson.
johnson continues in the event
by virtue OF his winning match
with Jack Blair played early last
week; G., T. Wason is inNafter de.
featIng S. w. Wright; E. F. Hart
ley remains as result Of an easy
win from G. Gwyn. and Bob Hood,
the present club champion, enters
the semi-final bracket following a
tight match with Ed. Holbert,
which ended one up in his favor
on the eighteenth green.
THE matches of johnson and
Blair, won by the former on the
nineteenth green, and Watson
land Wright, which ended in Wat
sons favor on the eighteenth
green, were described in a pre-
vious issue of The West virgInlan,
Bob Hood is playing sound golf
in this annual event but Holbert
gave him the closest run he has
had. The two players were never
more than one or two holes apart
during their macth and started
for the eighteenth all even. Hood
had the better drive and up
proch on the final hole and sunk
his put for a par 4 while Holbert
was not SO fortunate and lost out
when the best he could do was
la 5.
e.. F. Hartley played runaway
golf against G. Gwyn and carried
off his match by the score Of 4
up and 3 to play. Gwyn remarked
after 1t was over that he never
had contended against such wiz.
ardly putting as Harley's. Time
after time the winner holed puts
of ten to thirty feet and never
missed the three and four footers,
Although Gwyn played equal
golf through the fairway he had
no chance against Hartley on thu
green and that fact accounted for
his defeat.
Prior 10 the opening Of tho
tournament Bob Hood and G. T.
Watson were touted as equal
favorites to land the club champ
ionship and It now appears quite
likely that the pair will clash IN
the final round.

7 WORKERS WILL
MEEIiNEDNESDAY.
Supper. viii Be Served at s
O'clock at Y. M. C. A.
to Workers.

There will be another big rally
OF committeeman and workers fol
the Y. NJ. c. A. drive for 1900 mem.
bers on Wednesday evening. There
will be a supper at the Y. NJ. G. A.
Building at 6 o'clock, following
which there will be a discussion
Of the plan of campaign. The pre-
liminary work for the drive is GO
Ing along Id good shape, and Gen.
eral Chairman Francis McQu!llin Is
confident that the campaign will
be success.
There are several kinds Of mem.
berships. The sum of IS will give
a boy the privileges allotted to him
at the Y. M. @. A. For SIS a man
can get the full privileges OF tho
organization for year, while s25
brings IN honorary membership,
and helps some other fellow who
can't afford a membership to get in
free.
The active drive will last three
days, October II, IS and 10, while u
! preliminary meeting will be held
on Monday evening, October IS.
Following are ten good reasons
why every person should be a
member Of the Y. NJ. C. A.:
Because OF the benefits in
health and efficiency obtained
from the physical privileges, bath,
swimming pool and gymnasium.
Because Of the opportunities Of
mixing in social way with other
men and boys Of good moral char.
acter, in the lobby, locker rooms,
swimming pool and gymnasium.
Because Of the special social
gatherings such as dinners, must.
cal evenings and special socials.
Because Of the opportunity to
come and rest, read the papers and
magazines and play such games as
checkers and chess in a comfort,
able building.
Because 1t is a place where we
can make appointments to meet
other fellows. This is true because
the Y. NJ. G. A. belongs to US as
much as to any one else and II we
tell our friends that we will meel
them at the "Y," we feel that VS.
have a perfect right to do so.
! Because 1t Is a place where We
! can attend meetings with or with.
out dinners, such as Billy Sunday
Club, Rotary Club, Kiwanis Club
and other special gatherings.
Because II provides a home for
young men away from home in its
dormitory features, and also for
other men who are rooming near.
by who do not have more than q
place to sleep at their roomine
house.
Because 1t helps to provide fo5
and entertain conventions and con.
tions.
Because It provides an organi.
cation through which we may rem.
der volunteer service IN assisting
to make better boys and young
linen.
Because as a youth. we were
provided with opportunities for en-.
Pertaining and lettering ourselves
and we should now do likewise and
help provide this place for the boys
Of today"
