lady will pass safely through the or
deal and that this may be her last ex

Cuarantors of the
Lyceun Course are
Facing a Heavy Loss

On Friday evening the last num-
Der Of the lyceum course was given.
and the guarantors stand to lose
$178.37.
The entertainments have all been
good and the last one given by the
Orpheus Four was exceptionally
good. The audience applauded them
generously and they heightened the
program nearly half an hour just be-
cause they had an appreciative
audience. They were bubbling over
with good wholesome jokes and
funny things in music and the audi
ance got them strung out"
One of the quartette was talking
at Pocatello on Saturday and said
that Blackfoot has good name
among lyceum and chautauqua peo-
pie for besides being good town
to be in, the audiences are seated In
comfort and they play up the inter-
est in the program SO that the actors
warm up and give all there is In
them. He said his party took a stroll
around the town and liked 1t; liked
the cleanliness Of the town and its
cozy homes, and likes the stores and
their fine display windows.

age from Cyclops

The steamer Cyclops, which dis.
appeared in 1918 while on a voyage
from Chilli to the United States and
never was heard from, is now
thought to have been sunk without
trace by a German submarine. A
bottle has been picked up at sea

corked and bearing hurriedly writ.

submarine and the vessel was about
to be sunk.
A Blackfoot man, on his way home
was on the vessel, and his parents

written by an engineer Of the Cyclops
and the greasy condition Of the paper
and the smear Of grease on the bot.

Governor Davis Issues
Proclamation Regard
ing Dairying in Idaho

The dairy division of the U. s. de-
partment of agriculture reports that
bank deposits in the dairy districts
of the nation have actually increased
under the adverse conditions that
have been prevailing, while deposits
in non-dairying districts have shown
a heavy falling off.
A survey Of our own state shows
that the depression has been less felt
in our dairying districts that else
where, and that dairymen have gen.
orally suffered less of privation and
hardship than those engaged in
other lines of productive industry.
Surgeon General Hugh s. Cum
mings, chief of the U. s. public
health service, is credited with the
statement that every growing child
should consume quart of milk a
day, which is much more than the
average amount consumed by the
children of Idaho. Medical author

COAL STRIKE IS
STILL in PROGRESS
Many Non-Union Men
Are Joining the
Union

The national coal strike is in pro-
gress with no prospect of an early
settlement. 1t began with 100000
miners going out, and the number
has been increased to nearly 100000
many non-union men joining the
union.
There are nineteen points of diff
ference between the miners and tn
operators, and some of them are not
likely to be agreed upon until one
side or the other is absolutely van
quished. The operators claim they
will no longer attempt to work the
mines If they have to carry out what
is known as the check-off system
paying the dues of the members OF
the union direct from their treasures
as they pay the wages of the miners
This is considered little less than a
hold-up, wrong in principle and
bound to lead to ruinous results
The miners claim they can no longer
put up with part time and work only
100 days or 200 days in the year, un-
less they get higher wages, and it is
no use to try.
Senator Boraf in an address in
the senate said that neither side was
paying any attention to the rights OF
the public, and that as the coal or
iginally belonged to the people and
the people are paying too high prices
for coal when they are getting it and
are unable to get it at all some OF
the time, the logical outcome will be
government operation of the mines

Easter Services at
Methodist Church
Very Impressive

On Sunday the Easter services
were of a record-making sort. The
whole program was excellent from
the beginning to the end. Its prin-
cipal note was musical, mainly
anthems. Mrs. William Parkinson
was the happy genius whose man.
agerial ability brought things to pass.
Miss Virginia Pierces solos were a
distinctive feature, but the double
female quartet, the double male
quartet, the whole choir and orches-
tration made the hour full Of i'm
portant interest to the crowded
house.
An annual attraction Of the day
was the visiting Knights Templar,
who in their stately regalia attended
in body.
In the evening the church was
again taxed to its capacity for the
service which included the baptism
of some children and the reception
into preparatory membership of a
class Of twelve, thus making the day
one of unusual value to the congre-
cation. The minister delivered a
short address.
The floral decorations of potted
plants and cut flowers including
some unusually fine Easter lilies
added materially to the glorification
Of the occasion.

CITY COUNCIL
TO BAR LIVESTOCK
The Private Garbage
Petition Was
Turned Down

At the council meeting on Tues
day evening the city fathers decided
to make a non-stock district and bar
out livestock from certain territory,
where people had violated the ordin-
ances so badly that it seemed i'm
practical to mix people and live
stock. An ordinance in this issue
shows the new regulations.
Disposing of the livestock where
it makes disagreeable odors brought
up the question of allowing teams
to hitch or park right by food sup
plies, groceries, meats and milk, and
they decided to restrict that practice.
There was considerable division
among the members on this ques-
tion, but the old plan had brought
so many complications in the effort
to keep things clean and sanitary
and yet allow convenient practices
for the owners Of teams, that re-
striction finally won, and the city
will provide more tie racks and re-
quire people to quit parking teams in
alleys and on vacant lots.
The petition asking for public
service hauling away private garbage
was turned down, but the city will
receive sealed bids from men who
will attend to emptying the gargabe
cans once a week for a stated cost,
and the man who bids lowest will be
awarded the job of keeping the cans
emptied and the owners will pay him
and not the city. The city will
merely pay for the advertising for
bids and then announce who is the
lowest bidder, and the conditions of
the bid, and the bidder and the in
dividuals can make their own en-
gagement, tho they must conform to
the, price named in the bid and the
rules named in the call for bids. The
city will not pay nor guarantee the
pay of the teamster. He must look
to the customers for his pay.
Building permits were granted to
Edward Thoresen to build an addi-
ton to his house and to Edward Cox
to build a new modern five-room
house.

CLERK QUlLLIN IS
CUTTING EXPENSES
Using Device Which
Helps to Cut Lead
Pencil Bill

1t is said of Jay Gould that he was
once a salesman of mouse traps, and
he became millionaire in his time.
Gillette made razor that did not
have to be stropped, and he Is said
to have plenty of meal tickets. A
Yankee woman invented a little wire
screen ball with a handle on 1t, in
which to put little broken pieces of
soap for use in dish washing, and
thereby enabled house keepers to use
the last of every bar of soap, and
it is saving tons of soap besides
making her stream of pin money
for royalties.
Last year some fellow handed a
device to City Clerk Quillin for en-
abling him to use the short remnants
of lead pencils when they are so
short that most of them get thrown
away. Mr.. Quillin was using lots of
pencils writing nearly all the time
as he does, and he quit buying and
went to using stubs. The device is
saving the city small bills for pencils
and the device, costing perhaps a
cent, is doing duty in high efficiency.
Clerk Quillin says that If he could
reduce all the city expenses on the
same ratio that he has reduced his
pencil bills we might even silence
the tax columns Of The Idaho Re-
publican and a lot of the others who
see red in so many Of the public ex-
penditures.
BY the way-have you an aid PEN
Gil stub? Hand it to ]. J. Quillin
for use in his pencil handle. If you
live out of town, mail it to him. A
cent for postage will carry several
of them and Jake will know that he
has friends and co-operators in re-
ducing the taxes

Local School to Reduce
Expenses; Nearly
$4,000 Will Be
Saved Next Year

The Blackfoot school Is reducing
expenses for next year, and will fol-
low plans that will affect a saving
Of about $4,000 in salaries as COM
pared with this year. This will be
done by cutting salaries $50 year
on each teacher employed, including
superintendent and principals, and
by combining grades so they will get
along with fewer teachers. The
average number of pupils taught this
year by the teachers is less than
thirty, and under the new arrange
ment 1t will be increased to fifty or
perhaps more.
The teaching force are employed
in the latter part Of winter or early
spring, and it is done by reviewing
the situation and offering renewal
of contracts with all that are satis-
factory. If any of the teachers have
definitely decided that they do not
care to remain for the next year they
are expected to file their resigna-
ton; otherwise they are considered
to be applicants for the following
year
The teaching of arts and sciences
was discontinued this year and
manual training and domestic
science will be discontinued next
year. The technical building will be
used for classes that have heretofore
been taught at the Central school
and Miss Anna Doyle, who for some
years has been principal of the
Central school will be at the Techni-
cal building next year and Miss
Maud Turman, now principal of the
Irving school will be in charge at
Central building. Mrs. M. N. Austin,
heretofore one of the primary teach
ers and director of all primary work
at Central building will be in charge
of this work at the Irving building.
Professor Stout will remain in
charge Of chemistry and band and
orchestra work and Max Feldbaum
In charge of agricultural work. At
least this is the wish Of the board
and they have adopted this plan, and
unless the individuals mentioned
file notice of non-acceptance within
two weeks after notification of this
plan being adopted by the board, it
is considered an acceptance by the
teachers.
Up to the present time only three
OF the teachers have resigned, and
part of the present force have been
listed for renewals Of contract and
decision will soon be made regard
Ing the rest of them. Superintendent
y. D. Bloom VISA re-employed some
time ago, and Oscar Christensen,
principal at the high school has been
engaged.
There is disposition among most
people to attempt to reduce the taxes
by getting along with less help or
by paying lower wages to those who
do the work. Scores of people who
have spoken about reducing the ex-
pense Of the county government
