POTATO GROWERS
HOLD CONVENTION
New Ideas to be Given
on Improving and
Stabalizing Crop N.

"The potato crop of 1879 will
soon be reality-in fact, porbably
too much of reality-too many
spuds," said e. r. Bennett, field
horticulturist of the extension de-
partment, university of Idaho.
Continuing Mr.. Bennett said, This
suggests the question that has been
more or less in the minds of all
thinking potato growers. Why
should we have over-planting one
year and under-planting the next?
What are we to do about the disease
situation? Should not the seed
certifcation authorities of the states
concerned get together and adopt
one policy and one set Of rules for
the four states?
The week preceding Thanksgiv-
ing, Nov. 21-24, the Pacific North
west Potato Growers association is
going to hold potato growers con-
ference in Spkane. We will have
the best talent of the United States
department of agriculture to discuss
these questions. We also have potato
growers in the northwest who have
ideas. They will be there to have
their say and do what they can to
improve and stabilize the potato
growing industry.
We have long, hard program of
work ahead of it If we are to make
real progress with the potato in
dustry.
Right now the potato harvest is
on and it is the best time to get your
twenty pounds of potatoes for the
show. You who have fields that
have been inspected surely have at
least twenty pounds of potatoes,
either commercial or seed, that will
look good in the show-providing
they are dug properly, selected and
cared for before the field is har-
vested. Dig your best plants with
a fork. Pick out the good type
tubers of the desired size and all
alike. Wrap each potato in paper
and pack in a box. When the time
comes to ship to Spokane, look them
over, brush the soil of, rewrap and
pack tightly an apple box full. Do
not wash.

FINE LElT UlR E S
State Superintendent
Discusses AK
Problems

The 1922 district institute opened
at Blackfoot, Monday under favor
able circumstances, and with about
the usual number Of teachers and
lecturers present. The opening ses-
sion was held at the tabernacle with
Walter R. Siders, of Pocatello, sup
erintending the institute. The
Blackfoot Commercial club had
planned to have the business men
there in a body when Mayor Peck
gave his address of welcome on be-
half of the city, but thru some mis-
understanding as to the time, this
plan miscarried and there were less
than a dozen present. Mr.. Peck told
the teachers that Blackfot was glad
to have them present once year, or
oftener, because of the high charac-
ter of the teachers and the benefits
such visitors have on the community.
He said that the people of Blackfoot
are ambitious to make their town a
worthy place in which to live and
that the more high class people that
we can bring to town, there are good
influences that come with them in
the. form of high class lectures and
the musical entertainments and the
whole effect of such matters is to lift
the town to higher plain as a
place in which to live and bring up a
family. He said that the people
look forward to institute week as a
social and intellectual treat and that
they very gladly assume some bur-
dens that 60 with the institute in
prospects of the many benefits that
come with it.

Lighted Cigarette vi
Causes Car to Burn

On Tuesday I, evening at 8.45. q
Ford car stood by the gasoline tank
at the Three-A Garage resolving a
stream Of gasoline. in the tank VIXEN
the driver standing close by is said
to have, lighted, or partly lighted ;
cigarette. He at least got for enough
to. light tlie match, when the spray
from, the tank and nozzle shot int0
fame and interrupted the smoke.
For a. moment the blase stood adut
like q 'boquet within the radius .of
two or, three teet Of. the opening OF
the tank. then It spread ont over the
top of the car and stood like = giant
torch, lighting the streets tor . great
distance. The men fed from II, and
turned In the fire alarm and in q few
moments the fire truck screamed up
to the side of the jitney, poured
forth spray of chemicals, and the
Ford stood in place minus the most
of the top parts. Then the driver Is
said to have started where he left
of, lighted another match, put the
cap on the tank, stepped on the
starter and got first a hum and then
whirl, the engine started and away
went the car on it's own power. By
ISLANDERS said it was running on its
reputation, but 1t kept on going and
disappeared in the darkness. He is
said to have lighted the second
match just to show that even gaso-
line could be made to stand tied If
a person isn't afraid of 1t.
There may be further reports
from this same man. They say you
can't keep squirrel on the ground
in timbered country.

Sixteen Railroads
Sign Agreement

Sixteen railroads, including some
Of the largest roads in the United
States, have completed agreements
with new organizations of shopmen.
In this agreement the shopmen
waive the right to strike and the
companies pledge themselves not to
litigate, both parties agreeing to
abide by the decisions of the rail-
road labor board.
The American Federation of
Labor, which directed the nation
wide shopmen's strike which started
July /, are without recognition or
representation SO far as the sixteen
roads are concerned. These roads
include such large systems as the
New York, New Haven and Hart
ford, Lehigh Valley, Central of
Georgia, Chicago, Burlington and
Quincy, Southern Pacific and Union
Pacific, and represent 55,916 miles
Of railroad. The Federated Shop
Crafts have announced that approx
mately ninety railroad companies of
the 2O1 in the United States, of class
one, with mileage Of $4,000, have
settled the shop crafs strike on the
basis of the Warfield-Willard-Jewe1l
agreement of a month ago which
leaves, after excluding the sixteen
above mentioned roads and the PEN
nesylvania, which has settled with
its own men, a mileage Of approx
mately 10000 for which the roads
are understood to be negotiating
with their employees.

BLACKFOOT DE-
FEATS Is MALAD
Both Teams Show Fine
Sportsmanship
on Field 4

The Blackfoot high school foot
ball team defeated the Malad high
school team here Friday afternoon
by q score OF So to Z. The Malad
boys resorted to arial football from
the beginning which was the only
way they could make yardage
against the locals, Williams getting
away with a long pass In the second
quarter for their only touchdown.
The visitors were lighter and were
out classed from the start by the
local boys.
Malad won the toss and chose to
receive and to defend the west goal.
Herbert Cone, the local halfback.
kicked far down the field and the
ball was brought into play at the
twenty yard line. The Malad boys
could not make their yardage and
the ball stayed near the center of
the field until the end Of the first
quarter when Blackfoot made the
first touchdown by a series of line
smashes and end runs. In the
second quarter the Malad warriors
made their only touchdown with a
long pass anu IWO liHc SmdoHcS.
This seemed to rouse the locals who
brought the score up to 27 to Z by
the end of the first half in favor of
the local battlers, who came back
stronger than ever in the second
half and raised the score to So
points.
The feature plays Of the game
came in the second half when the
local captain, Stewart, carried the
ball for fifty yards and Hammond,
left tackle, made a thirty yard run
on an intercepted pass. Taylor, the
left end, played a star game and
France, quarterback, showed his
skill and speed by rounding the op-
posing ends repeatedly for long
gains.
Both teams showed splendid
sportsmanship and played clean
game from beginning to end which
speaks we'll for high school athletics.
The game lasted one hour and thirty
minutes and we refereed by Plasino
Of the Tech with Taylor and Chaplin
Of Blackfoot acting as umpire and
head linesman.

NOTED SOPRANO
THRILLS AUDIENCE
On Her Way Home
After Second Success
full Trip Abroad

A large audience assembled at the
tabernacle on Wednesday evening to
hear Evelyn Scotney, the Australian
soprano, who left her native land
to be trained and tested in foreign
lands is now on her way home
triumphant.
Her first appearance the first few
seconds before the audience won
favor, and when she began singing,
that settled 1t, she won. Her voice
was a wonder, sweet, rich and
resonant.
But all thru the evening there
was in her attitude, q sweet frank
ness with her audience. When she
first stood by the piano, her pianist
evidently did not approve Of her po-
sition, her relation to the instru-
ment and the audience and she
squeezed past post to another posi-
tion, smiling at having to flatten her
body to get thru; she looked at him
enquiringly and moved q little
farther, he nodded approval and she
laughed little as she looked from
him to the audience, exhibiting a
good nature and agreeableness and
girlishness and a perfect frankness
with the audience. 1t was things
like this that Kipling referred to
when he wrote in "Kipling's IT," the
lines, eff you can walk with kings
nor lose the common touch"
Elwin Schmitt, her pianist, and
Maximilian Rose, her violinist, won
the audience by their skill and fine
appearance, and the big audience sat
there with nothing but applause to
offer-no flowers to throw or to
send up.
Miss Scotney's career has been
mixed with sadness. 1t will be re-
membered that in the great war,
Australia sent nearly all its capable
men to the front and they were
promptly slaughtered in the beginn-
ing of the war. She had left home
when her country was prosperous,
and she returned to find 1t in deep
morning. It was isolated by great
distance and scarcity OF ships. It's
farmers and flockmasters had a
world of wheat and wool corded up,
and the world was starving and
shivering for 1t, but 1t lay and rotted
in the southern sun while Europe
continued in the death struggle.
Miss Scotney sang to them all over
that vast continent when agriculture
in all it's branches was like our
potato industry is this year. And
now, after her second successful
trip abroad she is going home to
sing to them again.
The finest auditoriums in Sydney
and Melbourne will be packed for
her, and when she enters, every seat
will be promptly vacated in her
honor.

FASHION SHOWS
PROVE SUCCESSFUL
Buildings Packed Each
Night, Great Mum
bers Turned Away

The fashion show at the taber-
nacle was put on by the Seeger-
Bundle company, supplemented by
goods from the Beachy Shoe COM
,pany, the Johnson Millinery, the
Brown n-Eldredge Furniture company
and the English Jewelry company.
1t was staged in the basement Of
the tabernacle because the railinga
and other fixtures in the assembly
room made it impractical to show
the models there. The furniture,
lamps, flowers and draperies were
supplied by the furniture company,
and the other firms mentioned sup
piled the hats, shoes and jewels used
in the show. The house was packed
to the walls and the doors, and
people turned away in great num-
bers because they could not get in.
When the management found that
people were coming in such num-
bers, they arranged to repeat the
performance with as many of the
models as could remain, and placed
a man at the doors to pass out the
word for them to return at $50 for
the second performance. The
musicians had to leave and some of
the models were very much fatigued
and the second show was necessarily
not SO good as the first.
The show started by the rise Of
the curtain and revealing the finely
furnished home, with lights on, and
every Indication Of ease and restful-
ness for the occupants, Then came
restful music, and the entrance Of
two little girls dressed in white,
then young women who came in
and paced the stage slowly, keeping

Teachers Should
Get Acquainted
With This Man

Teachers attending the institute
are about to receive some informa-
tion which they will prize greatly.
This little paper Is about to spread
the announcement as to who 1t was
that first suggested making all the
autos In Blackfoot into free taxis
subject to the call Of the teachers.
II 1t had not proved useful and
popular service to the visitors, mo-
body would have cared or inquired
whose idea 1t was, but since it multi
piled the smiles of the teachers and
gave pleasure to the drivers Of the
cars it stands out doubly good and
the author cannot escape fame.
This gentleman we are about to
name was superintendent Of schools
in this county when we took of our
territorial clothes to become state.
He lived and taught school at Soda
Springs, moved to Blackf0ot and
lived happily ever after. He was for
sixteen years county recorder, and
signed all the orders for school war
rants, thereby keeping the wolf
from the doors of all the teachers.
His name is George F. Gagon, pro-
nounced with the soft sound of G as
IL it were Jagon. He Is lawyer by
vocation, a banker by practice and
good fellow by profession. He is the
high mogul Of the Livestock Loan
company, with three Offices and two
stenographers on the second floor of
the Standrod Bank building, and he
might loan you some money IL you
60 up and make application on the
blanks used for that purpose.
Mr.. Gagon is a good looking man
and we can prove it by his wife. He
likes teachers and we can prove It by
having bunch of teachers call on
him or stop him on the street. He
drives a Hudson car with red spokes
in the wheels and rarely ever smiles
until after you smile at him. For
further identity we might describe
him like the lady in Connecticut de-
scribed her son when she asked
divine guidance for him when he
ventured trip into the great City Of
New York. After asking the Lord
to watch over and guide him, she
fixed his identity by saying, "And
in case, oh Lord, you don't know my
SON he wears q pair Of striped
trousers and light grey coat"
We hereby grant our permission
to all teachers to watch for such
man as we have described, and to
smile first.

INSTITUTE VERSES
THE SCHOOL ROOM
Some Teachers Attend
Sessions to Get
Card Punched

There is always somebody trying
to beat the rules, both in school and
misunderstanding, of course, at
an institute. Teachers attending
our institute get paid regular salary
for. it, and that Is supposed to de-
fray their weeks expenses or there
about, and this is paid them on con-
dition that they not only get into
the town where the institute is held
but that they actually attend the
sessions. ''You can lead a horse to
water. but you can't make him
drink" and Superintendent Red
field, in her address Tuesday morn
ing. paused and said, Teachers, I
will make my address as short as l
can; admit that it is disconcerting
to have persons moving about and
going out while l talk" This was
said at moment when one Of them
in the gallery dropped note to
somebody below. Imemdiately fol-
lowing what she said about disturb
.ance, twelve teachers in the gallery
rose and went out.
When the teachers get back to
school and try to hold attention in
recitations, they will not stand for
that kind Of attention and that
brand of attendancet There will
be something doing, possibly with a
shingle, but of course Miss Redfeld
could not set that example in the
institute. e.
One of our business men mentions
that when he was teaching in
Colorado, and attending an institute
in Denver, where they had to have
their tickets punched to show at
tendance, he used to get on the
