MEETS APPROVAL

The New York Times, upon the
momentous occasion Of the first use
Of electric lights, back in 1882, had
this to say Of this epochan event:
"It seemed almost like writing by
daylight to have a light without a
particle of flicker and with scarcely
any heat to make the head ache. The
lights in the Times Building were
tested by men who have battered their
eyes sufficiently by years Of night
work to know the good and bad points
of lamp, and the decision was unan-
imously in favor Of the Edison cleo
trio lamp as against gas. To turn on
the light nothing is required but to
turn the thumbscrew; no matches
are needed, no patent appliances. AS
soon as it is dark enough to need ar
tificial light, you turn the thumb
screw and the light is there; no
nauseus smell, no flicker, no glare"

ROUNDUP, STOCK
SHOW AND JUNIOR CLUB FAIR

| F. E. Seeger, E. ]. Felsted and
Ralph Dixey, promoters of the Black
foot Roundup and Junior Club Fair,
announce that plans are in full swing
for the fall entertainment which will
be held here September 25, 26 and 81.
Two bands will furnish music and
one OF them will be composed Of In
dian musicians from Nevada, nearly
all OF whom are graduates of Carlyle,
and the band is known throughout
the entire country as being one or
the best. The merchants of Black
foot have gotten behind movement
for providing a liberal premium list
which insures very fine dairy show.
This comes at very opportune mo-
ment, as dairying is becoming such
an important factor in the farm life
of this district and the Importance
of the industry is being shown by
the erection of cheese factories. When
the Union Pacific Dairy Special stop
ped at Blackfoot they asked that
special train of the winners of our
fair this year in dairy cattle AMI other
livestock, be brought to Wisconsin
and other section of the country from
which the representatives Of differ
ent breeds were picked for exhibition
on the U. P. Special. Besides the
Roundup and Dairy Show, extensive
plans are being made for Junior
Club Fair. A meeting was held yes.
terday noon at which Max Feldbaum,
agricultural instructor in the Black
foot High School, A. E. Sells, who
holds similar position in the Shell
ley High School and G. M. Sly, head
of the agricultural department Of the
High School. At this meet
ing it was decided that representa-
tives Of the Smith-Hughes workers
would be present at the fair and ex-
hibt products. Eleven counties Of
Idaho have pledged |
to take part in this Junior |
Fair and besides Bingham, Bannock |
county will probably be the heaviest |
supporter of this movement. About |
five hundred boys and girls will take
part and an encampment Of the dele
gates will be held during the entire
three days. Stock-judging, baking,
and other teams will be
awarded prizes. The board Of direc-
.ors of the Junior Club Fair are spar
ng no trouble or expense In plans
or the housing, feeding, chaperoning
md entertaining these young people.

cept all pupils from the rural dis
tricts where they have completed the

whether it be an eighth grade course
or one, tow or three years Of high

ELECTRIC GROWTH ILLUSTRATED

The extremely rapid growth of the
electric lighting industry is we'll IL
lustrated when comparing the present
high efficiency and certainty of ser
vice with the condition outlined in a
news dispatch Of the year 1886, when
electric lighting was first obtaining
a foothold in the service of man.
can extraordinary riot took place
at the Bull Circus as Mines. The
great performance by the electric
light was announced and 10000 per-
sons paid admission. When, during
the evening, the light repeatedly
failed to operate, the audience became
exasperated, tore up the benches ana
furniture and made a bonfire of them
in the arena. Troops were sent for
and after some trouble cleared the
building. Some persons were wound
ed and many arrested"

WAREHOUSES; FOR
FARM PRODUCTS

Declaring that Upon the success of
the farmers the success Of all classes
depends" Mark Means, State Commits
sioner Of Agriculture, is strongly
stressing the importance Of the cities
and towns of the state furnishing as
great markets as possible for the
farm products raised in country trib-
utary to them.
Mr.. Means also insists that the
cities and towns of the different Sec
tions of the state should furnish ware
house facilities for taking care OF
farm products and cooperate with the
farmers so that when the peak Of de-
livery comes in, the farmers may
store their products so that shortage
of cars will not disturb conditions and
the movement to the markets can be
more gradual.

LETTER FROM COUNTY AGENT.

The following letter has just been
received by Mr.. Pendlebury from
County Agent Walter F. Thomas:
August 81, 1928
Dear Mr.. Pendlebury.
On arriving in Denver 1 visited the
Colorado Potato Exchange headquar-
ters and found them busily engaged
In setting up office equipment and ac-
counting systems to take care of the
large volume Of business under con-
tract this year. The Colorado Potato
Exchange was organized under Sa-
piro contract, similar to the Idaho
contract. Sixty per cent. (60) of the
growers and seventy-ive per cent.
(75) of the tonnage has already been
signed up and more are coming in
every day. Three weekly pools have
been handled already, bringing $1.75
for the first and $1.5O for the second.
Every shipment has brought more
than dealers prices.
The fact that Colorado is organized
is making the dealers hold up to the
limit from ten to twenty-five cents
higher than they would otherwise
have to pay, and the dealers admit it.
Colorado is not consigning potatoes
this year, but have hired an efficient
sales organization to handle it's pro-
duct at the least possible cost.
1t will be a big advantage to both
ized so as to coordinate their work
and not glut markets shipped to by
both states.
The directors of the Exchange here
are fine fellows and seem to have
thorough understanding Of the situa-
tion and have no doubts in their
minds about the success Of the Potato
Exchange. They express the wish
that Idaho would hurry and get or
ganized as they have done so that
Colorado and Idaho could cooperate
rather than compete.
I'm sure that when Idaho growers
fully understand that the life Of the
potato industry in Idaho depends up
on our getting organized this year,
and that our plans are being carried
out in neighboring states, that they
will not hesitate to contract the en-
tire acreage to the Idaho Potato Ex-
change.
With best wishes, I remain,
Very truly yours,
WALTER F. THOMAS,
County Agricultural Agent.

CHEESE FACTORY MACH.
NERY HAS ARRIVED

c. A. voight stopped at Blackfoot
for few hours Tuesday, while en-
route to McCammon and stated that
he would return Friday to arrange
for the building which will house the
cheese factory at Moreland. Part of
the machinery for this factory has
arrived and the remainder will arrive
soon. Some of the machinery for the
Blackfoot factory is also here. The
delay in the Blackfoot factory seems
to be in the boilers which haven't
been shipped from the factory yet,
but shipment is expected in a few
days.

NORMAN KERRY CARRIES LOAD

| Well weighted with Mediaval cos
tune.
A hundred pounds is a lot Of weight
| to carry about for ten hours out of
every twenty-four and to do that for
period extending over six months
becomes even more of a "weighty''
matter when one has to do it under
the rays of hot California sun.
Yet that is what Norman Kerry un-
derwent at Universal City, where he
had to wear a full suit Of armor in
the making Of "The Hunchback Of
Notre Dame" which Wallace Wors-
ley directed and in which Lon CLANCY
is starred.
In using this garment Of steel, Ker-
ry first had to don suit Of mail
which completely covers all portions
Of the body and over this he wore
heavy breast steel, leg thigh plates.
The entire outfit weighs trifle over
a hundred pounds and to add to his
discomfort, the actors body is kept
perfectly rigid by the metal encase-
ment.
Kerry's suit Of armor was carefully
selected by Perley Poor Sheehan, who
supervised his adoption Of Victor
Hugo's immortal romance and Col.
Gordon Magee, technical director, who
are both authorities on fifteenth CEN
tury Paris.
"The Hunchback of Notre Dame" is
conceded by those who have seen 1t
in the making as the biggest screen
drama ever made. It's cost will be
well over million and quarter dol
lars and the principal players in the
cast, which numbers over three thou
sand, are Patsy Ruth Miller, Ernest
Terrence, Brandon Hurst, Winifred
Bryson, Kate Lester, Tully Marshall,
Jane Sherman, Harry Van Meter,
Gladys Johnston, Raymond Hatton
and Nick de Ruiz.
"The Hunchback Of Notre Dame" is
scheduled to open at the Astor Thea
tire, New York City, on September
first.
