returned Saturday from session
of the district War Mothers con-
vention held at Malad, Idaho on
Thursday and Friday.

represented five counties. The

with an auto bus at Downey and
took them for a drive over Malad
hill and down thru st. Johns and
the Camaria country IN Malad valley
WHICH proved to be very beautiful
and interesting. The sessions were
held in the new tabernacle there and
were very instructive and highly in
spirational. Excellent papers were
read and the keynote of the con-
vention was disqualification and
hospital work.
The delegates were well enter
tanned with banquets and splendid
musical program Of home talent. A
flower shower had been given in the
basement of the tabernacle on We'd
nesday night and the decorations
were left in the hall during the

Warren Kent Is
Killed By Horse
At Arco Tuesday

Warren Kent, son of John D..
Kent, of Blackfoot, was killed on his
ranch near Arco on Tuesday after
noon by horse. Mr.. Kents two
step-children were at the house
alone and they became worried
when he did not return from the
field in the evening and they called
the neighbors and the search began.
His body was found near a wagon
and it was at first thought that he
was killed by lightning, but bruise
on his head disclosed the' marks OF
a horses hoof. He had been har-
rowing and had probably been
thrown from the harrow and kicked
in the head in runaway.
Mrs. Kent had left early in the
morning for visit with her sister,
Mrs. s. A. Jacobs, and had only been
in Blackfoot a few hours when a
message arrived stating that her
husband was seriously injured. The
news Of his death was withheld to
save her from too severe a shock
and it was not until she reached
Arco Wednesday morning that she
learned the facts. Mrs. Kent and
Mrs. Jacobs left Wednesday morning
at o'clock, by motor for Arco.
Mr.. Kent is survived by his father
John D. Kent, who was at Howe,
Idaho, when the accident occurred,
two sisters, Misses LaRue and
Beatrice Kent, of Blackfoot, and a
brother, Riley Kent, who lives on a
ranch near Arco. Mrs. ]. D. Kent,
his mother, died at her home in
Blackfoot on January 1, 1922.

FIRE CHIEF BACK
FROM CONVENTION
Brings Many New Ideas
Tells of Conditions
There

Fred Simons, chief of the Black
foot fire department, returned Fri
day from San Francisco, where he
attended the Pacific Coast Fire
Chiefs convention. Mr.. Simons
was member of the San Francisco
fire department twenty-three years
ago and had not been in the city
since then. At that time they were
using horse drawn fire fighting ap-
paratus and now they have every
thing motorized for fighting all
kinds of fires in a modern way. He
noticed a wonderful change in the
city, having not seen it since before
the earth quake.
The members of the convention
came from all of the western states
and nearly every city of any size was
represented there. Many fire chiefs
from all over the United States and
Europe and even Japan arrived
early for the international conven-
tion and attended the Pacific coast
convention. These representatives
lwere all the guests of the San
Francisco fire department and were
treated royalty by their chief, Mr..
Murphy, whose work made the
wonderful success of the convention
possible.
The convention was called to
order on ,Augsut 5, by Mr.. Scott,
chief of the Los Angeles fire depart
ment and president of the conven-
tion. Many topics were brought be-
fore the meetings for discussion, the

New Star Enables
Blackfoot to Win
From Idaho Falls

Blackfoot came out on the long
end of the score Of 10 to 9 in the
game with Idaho Falls Sunday. The
game was close one all the way
thru till the ninth inning. At the
starting of the game the people
thought that Blackfoot did not
stand a chance with the lineup she
had, but they didn't know that they
had a star player on the team in the
person of John Boyle.
In the last half of the ninth in
ming the score stood to 8 in favor
of Idaho Falls, with one man out
and two men on bases when Mr.
Boyle went up to bat. He made 9
nice three-base hit and put the two
men over the home plate and won
the game for Blackfoot. During the
game the new star batted five times
and got four hits; one three-base
two two-base and one single. An.
other of his feature plays was the
catching of a fly in the out field
which he managed to get with both
hands, scraping the grass while two
men on bases were waiting to see
the ball slip under him.
Felt and Howard pitched fol

Falls. Next Sunday the Blackfoot
nine will play return game al

Henry Ford To Close
Factory On Sept. Is

Henry Ford. announced that he
would close down his plant on Sep
tember 16 for lack of coal. This
will Immediately throw over $4,000
men out Of work and will indirectly
throw thousands of other men out OF
work that are supplying the Ford
factories with raw materials. Mr..
Ford says that he can buy coal, but
at a very unreasonable price and
that he refuses to pay graft for coal,
He believes that If the protiteerine
in coal is nipped at the outset the
situation can be handled and the
prices kept down. A few years age
Mr.. Ford did the same thing with
the steel companies and won his
fight in short time.
His action is direct blow at
profiteering and he belives thai
other manufacturers will follow him
in his step altho none have done so
as yet.

POTATO MARKET
AS IT APPEARS
Idaho Potatoes Should
Be Sorted and La
beled At Home

The prospects for marketing
Idaho potatoes are not at all alarm
ing. There is a surplus of potatoes,
or rather, there are more potatoes
this year than usual, and in round
numbers the crop totals about a
hundred million bushels more than
that of 1921. There is the. addi-
tional disadvantage, that owing to
the strike and perhaps other condi-
tions, fewer have been shipped this
year than at the corresponding date
a year ago.
OF the several big potato districts
in the United States, New Jersey
leads, and it is supplying most OF
the trade as far west as Chicago and
st. Louis. Idaho comes next, but
operating under a disadvantage OF
q long freight haul and necessity for
icing the cars to keep them from
l,eating. The New Jersey potatoes
are picked and packed near the sea
coast and are cool. The Idaho po-
tatoes being picked and loaded at
Nampa, Caldwell and Payette in a
hot, sandy plain, start warm and
stay warm and until the weather
cools somewhat, have to be iced to
keep them from heating in transit.
Michigan has a good potato crop
and good organization to see that
they are well graded and well
packed. They use sacks that are
new and neat mad every sack bears a
big label as we'll as a blue tag bear
ing the guarantee Of the association
that the contents will be found true
to label. Such shipments are very
attractive as compared with Idaho

Maintenance Men
Petition Labor
Board For Raise

The United Brotherhood of Main
tenance of Way Employees and Rail
road Shop Laborers on los of the
2O2 important railroads in the
United States entered petition to
the railroad labor board Monday
asking for an increase Of minimum
wages from 23 cents to 48 cents an
hour, a virtual demand for recogni,
ton Of a basic eight-hour day with
time and one-half for overtime.
w. Jett, labor statistician, entered
a motion to the board to define the
principle of "a living wage" in the
case of the maintenance of way EN-.
ployes which was denied. E. F
Cradle, president Of the mainten.
ance organization, requested ad
journment of board until Wednes
day and then telegraphed President
Harding and Senator Commins, one
of the authors of the transportation
act, at Washington and asked then
to present to congress an amend
ment to the act which would make
it mandatory on the labor board tt
! enunciate the principle of the "liv
ing wage
The recent proposal that the gov
ernment take over control Of rail
roads and mines was put aside. i
is evident that the end Of the srik'
is near and to take over the roads
would mean further complication
only all to be undone again when thu
situation adjusts itself. Boil
branches of congress thru com
mittees have reported recommends
tions that the federal government
for the time being at least supervise
the distribution Of coal In order Il
avoid raise in prices and to SCI
that there is an equitable distribu

COMPANIES TO Gov
ERN SAND CREEK
Will Enlarge Idaho
Canal to Carry Sur
plus Water

On Tuesday, August 20, at
meeting of interesting parties at
Firth, an agreement was reached
for applying the remedy to the con.
ditions that have been making Sand
creek a source of damage to settlers
for many years.
AS previously stated in this paper
from time to time, the waters OF
Grays' Lake, Willow creek and Its
tributaries, have been used for irri-
CATION in season and allowed to run
down the country when not needed,
and thus an intermittent channel
has been made, reaching down as
far as the Wicks neighborhood east
of Blackfoot, and supplying flood
water when the settlers could not
use it for irrigation and when 1t
was source Of much damage TO
them.
At the meeting at Firth, were
representatives of the government
interests in the Idaho Canal and the
reservation system, the government
being represented by Engineer Bur-
dick, the Snake River Valley Irriga-
tion District, the east branch Of the
Blackfoot Irrigation company, the
Eastern Idaho Water company, the
Idaho Irrigation District and the
Farmers Progress Canal company,
and it was agreed that the Idaho
Canal should be enlarged along its
lower course to make it serve as a
waste ditch to carry surplus water
into the Blackfoot river instead OF
allowing it to waste upon the farms
along the way. Each of the COM
panies named is to pay its proper
tion of the cost of the enlargement
and operation of the waste ditch in
connection with the government,
the government will take charge of
construction and render accounts to
the others. The work of excavating
is to be done with dragline dredge.
All parties to the agreement were
we'll satisfied with the arrangements
made and the several. companies
were glad to have the government
take charge Of the work.

Sunday a representative Of this
office visited the Industrial Training

was shown some very interesting
things by Supt. w. D. Vincent,
former superintendent Of the Black
foot schools. They now have en-
rolled about 189 boys and over fifty
girls and all of them are kept busy.
The first department visited was
the sewing department, where the
girls have done some beautiful
work. They are allowed one day
each week to work for themselves or
to make things to send home. A
year ago Mr.. Vincent installed a
small loom in this department and
they have been making their old
clothes up into rugs, dyed or woven
into designs. Besides equiping two
new dormitories with several hun

the other buildings, the loom has
earned over $1,000 for the institu-

Status Of Acting Commissioner
confronts Legal Lights
With Problem.

When 10 an acting District Com
missioner not an acting Commits
sioner?
District officials and legal lights
are puckering their brows and
scratching their heads today over
this question.
The problem came to light with
the appointment OF Capt. John
Wood as Third Assistant Engineer
Commissioner. The appointment,
II Is said. has placed on the shelf
a law passed in 1890 providing that
in the absence of the Engineer Com.
missioner the senior assistant shall
act. In the absence OF both
commissioner and senior assistant,
according to the law, the Junior as
sistant shall serve.
Before Captain Wood was named,
Major Carey II. Brown. Assistant
Commissioner. acted in the absence
of Commissioner Keller and Assist.
ant Commissioner Besson.
But with Woods appointment,
Brown, although the latter Is sec
ond assistant. Is prevented from
functioning. as the law provides ac-
ton by the junior assistant-Cap-
tain Wood.
Captain Wood has been signing
all official papers and he probably
will act as Engineer Commissioner
when the board meets today.

Judge Sends Girl To
Jail For Daring
Beach Suit

NEW YORK, July IL
When Magistrate o'Neill, look
ing his most serious judicial
look, peered over the bench at
pretty sixteen-year-old May
Webman and said: "I'm very
sorry, young lady, but I'll have
to fine you SIS for appearing on
the streets of Coney Island in
such an abbreviated bathing
costume, or give you two days
in jail" he expected results,
possibly fearful. But May,
quite indignant, answered:
~ won't pay the old fine. It
wasn't my fault"
81 repeat, miss, the fine win
stand or you will 60 to JAIL"
the judge continued. I'd
can right" said May, II will
60 to Jail"
And she went.
Two hours later an older
sister appeared and, over Mays
protestations, paid the fine and
took May home.
