WHY NOT LIVE TO BE
120 YEARS OLD?

When each individual gives more
attention to health and sanitary con-
ditions then we will see more hap
piness and longer-lived. people. The
average human life has already been
raised to about fifty years due to
the saving of the young, but when
we get to saving the old we take a
greater step.
The right kind Of food with the
right way of eating, the right kind
of dressing and sleeping are the es-
sentials of present day happiness
and long life. 1t would be Just as
for us to live to the ripe old age of
1907 years as Moses did, as to live
to 60 to 10 years.
There are certain elements of food
that scientists have found that pro-
longlong life and these elements are
found in the simple foods - such as
whole wheat flour, herbs, etc.
There is now over the whole coun-
try scourge of goiter and we are
told that this is due to the lack Of
iodine in the elements, such as the
water, the air and the food. We
must now put iodine in our reser-
yoirs or suffer the consequences.
Board of health, city and town coun-
ellis should look at this matter more
seriously and perform their public
duty in fighting microbes which are
more deadly than an army.

The secretary Of agriculture ap-

in Idaho aggregating 227 miles and
it has not yet been learned just what
amount will be expended upon these
projects or what part Of the finances
will come from the state and nation.
In each case where the roads are to
be improved the secondary and pri-
mary roads reach practically every
important community, and the prf-
mary roads are those which connect
important points on the main high
way while the secondary roads are
branch lines. The secondary road
which will be improved and is Of spec
ial interest to the people In this COM
munity is the highway from Blackfoot
to Arco. Several local organizations
have been exercising every influence
to procure the improvements Of this
road and It is with great deal Of
satisfaction to Blackfoot and the sur
rounding community that this project
has been approved by the government

which left the total amount realized
from this source $468.32. A COM

Blackfoot citizens and Legionaires,
they are planning to make a sche-

the Legion band, which will play at
each stop. 1t was decided that the
Stewart Hoover Post No. 23 would

This is for the benefit of the tourists

be removed from certain buildings
formerly occupied by the American
Legion. A committee was appointed
for the purpose of investigating the
advisability of staging a wrestling
match between Myers and Jones un-
der the auspices of the Legion: 1t
was voted that the Legion would not
consider the roundup proposition
this fall. Following the decision of
the County Commissioners that the
County Fair would not be held this
year, an outside organization was en-

GRASsHOPPERS AND SQUIRRELS

County Agent Walter F. Thomas
announces that they are very busy at
the farm bureau in an attempt to poi
sen grasshoppers. Many trips have
been made to various points in the
county where the poison has been
distributed. The wind storm which
visited Blackfoot Friday blew many
of the grasshoppers into the town so
that many gardeners will be annoyed
by this pest. Mr. Thomas is trying
to get this insect under control so
that it will not be necessary to treat
every community with the poison.
The squirrels are another nuisance
which the farmers have to contend
with and over 200 pounds of SQUIRREL
poison was distributed this week.
They are so numerouse that they are
causing more damage in some sec
tions than the grasshoppers. The
Farm Bureau is at this time acting as
an employment bureau, having recei-
we'd many applications and placed
many men on the farms during the
busy season.

WHAT SERVICE MEANS

"a telephone operator, responding
to the flash of the light on the board
at the central exchange, heard a wo"
man gasping, choking and unable to
talk at the other end of the line. The
operator with rare foresight phoned
q neighbor, who went to the rescue
of the afflicted woman. A human
life was probably saved thereby and
all through the medium of the phone
and a quick-witted operator.
"The incident is good illustration
of the many emergencies that the
modern telephone operator meets and
copes with successfully.
Remember this incident and
others like it, those Of you who are
inclined to complain every time you
are inclined to criticize the telephone
service. Ask yourself whether some
times the fault may not be your own"
