RAG DOLL MAKING
EXPLAINED TO MANY
Demonstration Proves
To Be Very Much
Appreciated

On Friday evening Mrs. Allen,
wife of Capt. w. C. Allen, con-
Quoted demonstration at the COM
mercial club showing how she makes
dolls.
Before coming to Blackfoot last
summer, Mrs. Allen was manufacture
ing dolls at Long Beach, CAL, where
she developed an unusual business.
Manufacturing dolls that Wefes bet
ter, and like other makefA of the
unusually good articles in thSir line
her goods were sought for wAtAQut
going into the market to display
them much. In her business expert
ence she proved the truth OF the old
statement, If you build better
mouse trap than anybody else Is
building, people will make4a path
to your doorway" s*
Mrs. Allen has different view
as to the use of dolls from most
people, her idea being. that q. doll
should be a childas, companion, and
an object of care and affection, and
she makes dolls accordingly. The
average rag doll that is used to maui
around with she says does not cul-
tivate the best there is in child.
but rather cultivates the rough and
the boisterous side ofsthe child's ma
ture when they ought to be learning
to take good care ofsnice things.
Mrs. Allen showed that she could
make an ordinary doll with its round
face and loose Joints, or she could
take the same material, and by doing
the work differently, she could make
beautiful doll with . perfectly
naturally shaped body and face. Mrs.
Aliens dolls have a. happy express

Ry the Editor

!! j: j: !! j: ; Ill: !: i; !; ! :
In the year 1919
when it began to look
as if there was a plot to
keep Bingham county
from getting any OF the
xI state and federal money
and to use it for building roads IN
Bonneville county, the county COM
missioners got pretty mad about IT,
They tried to get the state highway
commissioner, w. ]. Hall, to come to
Bingham county and go over the
whole situation with them, hoping
that they could get him to reverse
the action of his highway director,
and get4something done that would
enable us to draw some of that state
or federal money. g
AS we talked it over among our
selves it seemed to US that there was
a good deal of politics entering into
the situation, and kept Suggesting
that the way to treat crooked fellows
in the political game, was to matcn
it with straight out politics IN en-
open political fight, and / advanced
the. idea that if arrangements were
made to make that kind of a figAt
against the powers in Boise, they
might anticipate what the next cam
paign would be and give us our
rights. The highway commissioner
consented to come over and have q
sitting with the board of county COM
missioners, to go over the whole sit
uation regarding the transactions
between the state and Bingham
county on highway matters thru the
period OF several years, and see II
they could straighten them all out
and get to working in harmony. I
asked the board OF county commits
sioners to allow me to sit with them
at that meeting, SO that I could get
the history of the whole situation.
I knew a great deal about It., but
my information was very much dis
connected and incomplete; II I could
sit and listen while the whole thing
was being reviewed, might organize
a political fight that would help
them. to- get what the ceNntys Nas
entitled to without waiting Tor the
fight to be put on in the campaign,
but merely by letting them know
that we were getting ready to make

IMPROVEMENTS AT
CITY HALL FINISHED
Council Chambers and
Library Have Moved
To New Quarters

The library has moved down stairs
in larger quarters and it Is better
arranged. 1t is we'll lighted AND
well heated, and the librarian does
not have the old smoky stove to deal
with. The building has the hot
water and furnace heat, and the
lights are of the indirect kind, twice
q 99AASsvrcJed to take off the glare. The
moor is of cement, smooth, fine and
coated with paint nearly the color
of the street dust. There Is some
talk of placing large rus on the
floor, but study of the question
may show that the bare floor is as
warm and easily cleaned and will
look as good and be more sani-
tary, than the rug with snow and
street mud tracked in on it. The
floor being painted makes it easily
cleaned, and the matter of the rug
will be left for later decision.
When you enter the library, no.
tice that the door slams rather
noisily unless you handle 1t care
fully. The carpenters are threaten
ing to take 1t off and dress IT. or
hang it againFwith shock absorber
attached. There is room for a good
many people to sit at the tables now
and those who prefer to stay and
read can do so up to considerable
number.
.. The Council Chamber
The council no longer meets in
the clerks office, but has the rooms
formerly used by the library. The
large room in front is for the ses-
sions and the smaller one at the rear
is convenient committee room.
Both rooms are to be tinted and
vanished anew. Now that the city
has entered the commercial field of
selling water, the clerks office has
been rearranged with desks and
counter SO. the workers have more
privacy for their papers, and 50 II
is not quite SO convenient for q
hold-up to throw the clerk into the
vault. ss9
At the council meeting on Tuesday
evening the council spent consider
able time investigating the rules OF
the. American Engineering society to
see what In the correct way Of meas
uring pipe In q water system. They
had been led to. believe that the
fiange OF each Joint was counted in,
and investigation indicated that the
fange is counted out by measuring
the trench which the pipe fills when
completed and tested. This made a
difference of some 900 feet in the
total contract and the council was
seeking to save some change for
their constituents. In reading the
! contract it might be interpreted
Z either way until one knows the def
nition of some Of the terms used,
and their true Interpretation.
The council waded thru the usual
grist OF bills and with the usual re-
suits that something iS>held up Mere
and there for explanations, and the
rest Is paid. w

STARTS A NEW ONE

]. A. Norquist, who managed The
Bingham County Weekly News for
few months in the year 1920, has
founded a paper called the Chronicle
at Melba, Idaho.
Melba is small town in Canyon
county and probably has ambitions
of its own. The new paper does not
show much advertising patronage;
it is started Just at the close Of a
dull advertising season, and Editor
Norquist announces that he Is going
to send it free to the people Of hts
county for a few weeks.
Our observation Is that he must
have money to burn and that circu-
lating a free newspaper in these
times is a sure, quick waysto burn Il.

POTATO. MARKET

Yield for 1921 Is Some
What Less Than
&@ . lO1O ''@s
+. Is y

The spud market showed some i'm
provement Friday morning. with quo
tations at 81 and $1.25. 1t is ru-
mored that agents have been out
thru the country offering to contract
at prices that are little more at
tractive than they have been for
several weeks past, but these rumors
were not borne out I'M specific cases
as to just what was being offered.
The general feeling seems to be that
the market has started on its long
expected rise but as to just. what
point it will reach appears to be
largely matter Of opinion. -
Figures secured from the bureau
of markets office show that 7438
cars had been shipped from Idaho
up to Thursday night and it is esti-
mated that there Are still about $500
cars left in the state. Last year the
total shipments in the state were
S14O and at this period last year
about 5000 cars remained in the
state. In 191y-20 about 1850 cars
were on hand at this period.
Figures on the final yield in some
of the important producing states as
compared with 1919 are as follows:
