GREAT DAY PLANNED
FOR REAL LIVE ONES
SALMON'S FREE BARBECUE IS
TO BE MADE COMMUNITY
AFFAIR, WITH LOWER TAXES
AS WATCHWORD.

held in Salmon on Saturday, july ~.
the greatest function of the kind ever
held in this part of the intermoun-
tain country. While partisan in name
the barbecue is intended to be free for
everybody and is properly called, its
Irofnoters say, a taxpayers baf5ecue,
when every sort of partisan, whether
democrat or republican or socialist,
who still believes taxes are too high
End wants to reduce them, may not
ONLY come to the meeting but take the
platform and show how to get the de-
sired result.
Then too it is intended as an oc-
casion for unalloyed enjoyment of the
facilities OF Salmon's famous SWIM
ming pool, when men, women and
children will be welcome not only to
the great feast but also to plunge in
to the depths of the purest water in
the world, to hear the splendid music
of the Municipal band and then at
night to dance, the last named func-
ton only being charged for and that
for the benefit of the War Mothers
hospital fund.
Charley Dodge will cook the meat
to be served in bounty to all. A thous-
and pound beef has already been Sc
cured. The animal is rolling in fat.
Two full grown lambs have been do
mated. The arrangement is in compe-
tent hands. The money to pay for all
this splendid affair is rolling in upon
the committee having that part of the
function in hand.
Everything is to be free, including a
fsee discussion by all the people of
their tax burdens for which purpose
prominent speakers have been invited.
Besides anybody will be welcome to
the platform to point the way to low
er taxes.
What Is Barbecue?
Not many people of Salmon ever
witnessed the preparation and serving
of a barbecue. Reuben Bennett, a
former resident and native of the
South, used to see dozens of them in
| his old Tennessee home. They were
institutions general in all the land
where the people turned out by the
| thousand to hear the noted orators of
| the day who would come from far and
near, democrats and republicans if
| there happened to be any republicans
| in that part OF the south land. Shir-
! ley Johnson, manager Of the Lemh
Telephone company, also native of
the south, attended barbecue at Lex
ington, Kentucky, a few years ago
where there were estimated to be
present no less than 10000 people.
There were three score beeves and as
many sheep and porkers roasted for
the occasion. Bennett and johnson
both retain vivid as we'll as savory
memories of such feasts. Usually q
trench from ten to twenty feet long
Epd fppF feet deep contains the fire
tnat* does the barbecuing. The ami
NAL to be served is swung upon a re-
volying shaft and kept basUed as the
shaft is turned over and over until
done TO beautiful brown.
A Dance for War Mothers.
The War Mothers are to serve the
feast, while the roasting is to be look
ed after by Charley Dodge. Charley
Is the biggest and best cook in all the
ntermountain region, three hundred
pounds of himself live weight.
While 1t may seem unnecessary to
raise all the money promised the man
aeement proposes to donate the sur
Plus to the War Mothers, wno will
also derive a neat sum from the pro-
moters for the serving of the feast
and from the dance at night.
All are welcome. If any there be
VINO are dead to the live issues of the
Gay and want to continue to carry the
TAX burlens now bearing down upon
mem, all such may we'll not trouble
themselves to attend, for there is no
resurrection for such until the Judg-
ment Day. All the live ones will be
IN Salmon on July 20.
