CHAUTAUQUA OPENS TONIGHT

Commencing tonight and running
for seven days (no programs on Sun
day., Blackfoot is to have, from all
indications, the biggest and best
Chautauqua in its ChautauQua his
tory. The famous play Turn to the
Right" will be given tonight at SIS
at the big brown tent which is being
erected today on last years site
the Central school grounds.
Our Chautauqua director, Mr.. ]. l..
White of Spokane, is here and will
be with us during the entire Chau-
tauqua week. He is brother of the
White in the Ellison-White firm and
has been associated with them for
these eleven years.
The Ladies of the Current Event
Club, who have charge Of the season
ticket sale, are urging that all who
haven't yet secured their tickets, do
so at once. This means much to
these faithful ticket sellers and moth
ing is gained by delay. 1t has been
definitely decided by the committee
that no cut-rate tickets will be sold
this season. The evil effect Of this
practice is so evident that the mis-
take is not to be repeated.
Season tickets are now on sale at
the following places:
English Jewelry Shop.
Dustin's Drug Store.
Palace Drug Store.
Powers Pharmacy.
Season reserved seats will be on
sale this afternoon at Dustin's Drug
Store from LOO to 400 o'clock. First
come first served. $1.00 for the week.

OAT IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
SECURES TANGIBLE RESULTS

Sometimes we are prone to thinh
that practices advanced by the ex,
tension service are slow to become
general farm practices. Many times
| it is necessary to look over long
period of years to witness results
This is not so, however, in Dutchess
County, N. Y, according to reports 20
the United States Department of Ag-
riculure. In his county the super
iority of Cornellian oats has been
demonstrated. This year commend
able tangible results were forthcom-
ing. In all, 5000 bushels Of these
new oats have definitely been put in
the ground.
This is how the seed improvement
program has been worked. The fol-
lowing example is but typical of the
work in other communities. The
county agent met with the Millerton
community committee and in planning
their program they desired to stress
the importance of a larger acreage
of improved oats. With the data on
the variety demonstrations which had
already been in that community, the
committeeman had a selling point
that could not be discounted as the
demonstration was held under local
conditions. The committeeman brot
this to the attention Of he growers
and as result one carload Of oats
and 200 bushels of Alpha barley were
ordered.
The publicity that this program de-
veloped has spread to other commun1-
ties until the oat Improvement pro-
gram has been like an epidemic. Fur
ther cooperation was secured through
local warehouse men who distributed
this improved sort. Fully 1000 acres
Of oats were sown in Duchess Coun- |
ty as a result of the campaign. This
is per cent of the total oat area Of the
county. What a tangible result from |
work!

FOURTH WARD 8; FIRST WARD 0

The first and Fourth Wards were
to cross bats last Monday night. The
Fourth Ward were on hand and ready
to play the game while the First Ward
was only partially there and refused
to play, due to the shortage of play
ers. BY all the rules Of base ball
this game should go to the Fourth
Ward by the score of nine to nothing.
Just who the head Of the league Is
and who passes on these cases is un-
known, but in due time decision Will
be rendered, but at present we will
count it one against the First Ward.

NOTICE DISABLED VETERANS

The story below is of great inter
est and Importance to practically ev
cry ex-service man or woman. The
time comes when delay on the part ol
the disabled war veteran to formally
apply for benefits offered by the gov
ernment may mean loss of the privi1-
ege forever. The government wants
every ex-service person entitled to
benefits to accept them.
Disabled World War veterans, who
have failed to make application for
government conversation should do
so at the earliest possible momenr.
l.. C. Joseph, Pacific Northwest man
ager of the United States Veterans
Bureau urges. Laws governing activ-
tiles of the bureau give the war vet
eran five years from discharge to
file APPLICATION for compensation. In
a large number of instances, this per-
iod expires during the late summer
and fall months of this year, he stat
ed.
Ex-service men suffering from all
ments of 10 per cent or more, due to
sation ranging from So to $50, de-
pending upon the degree of the dis
ability, Mr. Jesseph announced. Ad-
ditional allowances are made for de-
pendents. Even the war disability
is slight at the present time, the war
should protect himself by making
proper claim and proving service con-
nection. With these steps taken, the
claimant is entitled to the benefits Of
fered after the five year period in
case the injury or disability becomes
aggravated to a compensate degree.
Every war veteran of this district
which includes Washington, Oregon
and Idaho, who believes that his ill
ness or present disability is traceable
to his service during the World War,
should get in touch with the nearest
Veterans Bureau Office" urged Mr..
Jesseph. "a letter written to this
bureau will receive an immediate re-
SPONGE instructing the ex-service man
how to proceed in the prosecution Of
his claim"
The district office of the bureau is
located in Seattle and there are bran
ch offices in Portland, Spokane and
Boise. These offices handle, aside
from the compensation feature, hospit !
aItzation Of the disabled veterans, |
medical treatment and this vocational
rehabilitation.

the employment situation in March,
the department said, was the increas-
ed and widespread demand for COM
petent farm labor resulting from the
resumption of agricultural activities.
In some sections the supply was short
of the demand, and from present In
dications the shortage may reach
serious proportions. particularly in
the far west.
Spring thaws and the breaking up
of winter has resulted in the resump-
ton Of road building. with the en-
ployment of nearly all the common
labor available. A shortage of this
class of labor for some states as the
spring advances was predicted.
Increased employment for March
over February is noted in the follow :

all classes of labor. The building
trades experienced the greatest boom.
While the survey did not go into
conditions in Washington, which is
not classed as an Industrial city, 1t
was shown that unemployment in Vir-
ginia has decreased somewhat during
the past month. Increased employ
ment was noted particularly in tex
tile mills, and coal mines would have
shown in increased employment but
for the fact that production Is ham,
pered by the inability to secure
enough railroad cars. Elsewhere in
the south conditions were improved.

look for the iron and steel industry
is exceptionally bright, and in some
of the larger centers shortages of
certain classes of this labor are re-
ported, with an increasing demand
evident. Industries manufacturing

"PLAYING ROBBERS"

A ten-year-old boy was shot and killed
at Fort Worth by his playmate few
days ago. The shooting was accidental
or rather unintentional. Sometimes one
may think that it is Accidental" if some
OF the games played by present-dav boys
do not end in tragedy. For those games
contain strong elements Of grave danger :;
the chances seem to lean more toward
harm than in the opposite direction.
The two Fort Worth boys were playing
game Of "robber and victim" Whether
the one with the gun was the make-believe
rohPer the dispatch reporting the tragedy
omlts to say. But there was no make
believe in the fate OF the boy who fell
lifeless when the gun went off, he was
real victim of the poorest sort OF
game" that boys may play.
OF course "boys will be boys" But a
part of the process of being boys" is the
initiating of grown-ups. In earlier times
boys played Indians" That was be-
cause grown-ups either fought the red
skins or wrote or told stories concerning
encounters with them. A man who fought
Indians was model for bravery; he was
Iilc NlrHe, fearless type that is universally
admired, by adults as well as by juveniles.
But to play Indians" did not call for
the use OF dangerous weapons. Boys had
bright feathers to tie round their heads,
and would daub paint on their faces and
sometimes on their bodies. A toy toma-
hawk, small bow with a few harmless
arrows, and wooden gun completed the
equipment necessary to make the game
interesting. ....
But nowadays boys are not satisfied
with such accessories, and the villain
has changed color. Instead, characters
tar more despicable than the Indians
of frontier memory are chosen for imi-
tation. Boys still crave excitement, but
either their games are not supervised by
their parents or else the latter do not
care what their children do. This does
San Antonio light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1911-1993, 1923-01-21

not, of course, describe a universal condi-
ton; it represents merely tendency, but
strong one withal.
There is too much realism in such
games as that which ended in the death
of the Fort Worth lad. A bow could
play Indian" without any possibility of
lis becoming one in fact, even though it
was possible for him to use dangerous
weapons in that game. But it is not I'M
possible for any boy to become a robber
or bandit and to impersonate such a
character may be dangerous within itself,
even though no real firearms be used
For many generations prior to the
World War, German boys were given
toy soldiers to play with; they were their
first and almost their only toys. One SOL
der was painted blue, the other gray;
the former represented France, while the
other symbolized Germany. And always,
in the German boys game, the blue and
the gray soldiers were at war with each
other-and of course the gray invariably
came off victorious.
Is it any wonder that the Young men
OF Germany were eager for battle when
Der Tag" was finally announced?
When American boys, with their in
born love OF adventure, play games in
which they impersonate highwaymen,
bandits, robbers and other outlaw char
acters, they may gain the notion that
real adventure nowadays can be expert
enced only in lawless pursuits. Such
games not only afford an opportunity for
the development of the gang spirit, but
show copcretely how that spirit may cas-
lily be expressed in real life at the expense
of society.
But if parents do not provide whole
some games for their boys, such tragedies
as that reported from Fort Worth are to
be expected.

The Once Over
BY II. I. PHILLIPS.
TODAY's TOPIC: EMBASSIES"


Now, children, we will take up the
morning lesson. Todays topic is en-
bassies. Now what is an embassy
Right, Willie, an embassy is a place
where great quantities of good liquor
are stored.
Why is an embassy a place where
liquor is stored? Because it is one of
the few places liquor may be legally
stored under the prohibition act. The
reason for this is that no matter how
you construe the Monroe Doctrine you
can't make it stop an ambassador from
drinking if he wishes TO. This is the
only thing not covered by the doctrine.
|
Yes, Arthur, most ambassadors al
ways have drunk more or less, but not
enough to keep them from being taken
seriously. Today the world of diplo-
macy is in such a depressing state that
on ambassador is not taken seriously
anyhow and he might as well be drunk
as anything else. In fact, some people
have come to think that diplomacy is
something you do with a quart bottle.
And after looking at what a wreck
diplomacy has made of the world there
is ground for thinking it is something
that is done with a five-gallon jug.
Why does a member Of an embassy
wear q high silk hat? That's correct,
hat, put handle on it, and have a very
wonderful two-quart container.
-
What is synonym for "ambas-
sador," children? LOCKER" of course
Go to the head of the class, Freddie!
Now let us take up the next qucs-
ton: What's the difference be-
tween an embassy and a rum ship:
No difference, children, except that an
embassy is more helpless on water.
How does a foreign government go
about selecting representative TO
Washington? Like this, children: 1t
simply celebrates carefully whether TO
send man or just case goods. Yes.
Clement. you've gotta admit that the
liquor that has leaked out from the en-
basses here has been so darned good it
has done more to establish permanent
friendly relations between America and
Europe than any diplomatic action in
200 years.
If Europe would send us fewer diplo- |
mats and more whiskey there would
be less talk of war:
An entangling alliance is all right |
il it comes in bottle.
Should anything be done about the |
embassy leakage? That's a matter Of |
opinion. The only plausible suggestion |
is that all ambassadors be obliged to |
set up their offices outside ths three |
mile limit.
What's that, Eddie? Is it hard to
get into the diplomatic service? Oh, no.
No, indeedy. 1t used to be, but since |
the liquor exposure was made, bartend- |
ers are rushing to enter it from all over
the country.
The class will now sing BLESSED Be
the Ryes that Bind"
