BLACKFOOT DEFEATS
AMERICAN FA l. Il s

Saturday morning the Blackfoot
high school basket ball team left
for American Falls to play the
third game of the series. The
game was called at 7.30~p. m. and
resulted in a victory for Blackfoot
with score of IS to 20. The
game was exceptionally hard thru
out and proved very exciting. Three
minutes before the end of the game
the score showed American Falls
FIVE points in the lead, but the
Blackfoot boys were not to be de-
feated. They redouhled their ef-
forts and surprised the audience by
dropping In enough baskets to win
the game by two points.
Friday evening Biackfoot played
Firth at Firth and was defeated by
a score of IA to Is, the only defeat
Blackfoot received this year, and
the boys are waiting anxiously to
play them again on the home floor,
where they feel sure they can de-
feat them. ~

ELDERLY LADY TRAVELS

Short Line employees at Blackfoot
mad "a customer recently who ar
ranged by mail for trip east. She
lived at Arco and wanted to go to
town in Kansas, and came down the
line Tuesday afternoon, having
plannedtto, stay over night at Black
foot and take the 10 o'clock train
south on "Wednesday.
She bought her ticket of Agent
Lon Cone on Tuesday afternoon and
it seems, planned to sit up all night
in the depot. Late in the evening,
a Mrs. Murphy discovered her and
took her to her own home and
brought her back for the morning
train. She was profuse in her
praises for Mrs. Murphy, saying it
was an unexpected treat to have a
bed to sleep in while she was on
this trip. She was put aboard her
train as carefully as if she had been
a relative of all the local Short Line
fellows. Her name was Annie
Hammond, and altho the railroad
agent at Arco probably had all the
information that a Blackfoot agent
has, yet she wrote in here for in
formation and advice about the pro-
posed trip, and acted on the infor-
nation given, in Mr.. Cones letter.

FREE SHOWS IN BLACKFOOT

Blackfoot Is putting on two free
picture shows every "Wednesday
afternoon from 2 o'clock till 6, fol
adults and children alike. 1t has
been arranged by the Current Event
Club, Mrs. ]. T. Carruth and Mrs
w. w. Beck doing most of the COM
mittee work to complete the ar
rangements with the proprietors OF
the shows and with the business men
who finance it.
The purpose of the club Is to
make sure that all who wish to go
to picture show shall have the OPP
portunity of going once week, and
to put on the class of films that the
club women shall select. They have
criticised the character of good
many of the films that have gener-
ally been passed by the board of
censors, and when they go to a show
or take their children they did not
always know what was coming, and
often found Objectionable parts in
the films. BY the present plans they
can make the selection themselves,
and after they get some experience
in buying films, can probably govern
that feature of them to have them

of the parents than has been done.
The local show men have found
that when they bought the more
expensive films they found it diff
ficult to get the public to respond
with sufficient admissions to make
them profitable, and when they buy
the cheap ones that are more GER
tain to be profitable, the parents see
Objectionable features in them, so
with struggle to keep the shows
on basis of paying their way 1t
has not been altogether satisfactory
to the parents.
A large number of the business
houses have agreed to finance the
Wednesday afternoon shows and
leave the management Of it to the
club women and see how it works
out. Club members serve as ushers
and do as much of the detail work
as. they can, and thus relieve the
show house of as much expense as
possible. The advertising expense
will be kept down to modest sums, !,
and the character of the shows will !,
be relied on to vouch for future per- /,
formances shown. The new venture :
starts of with the aid of business in
terests and the press, and II the
character of the shows can be I'M
proved by this means 1t will prob
ably help to solve the whole local
problem of the show men.

PARTICULARS NEXT WEEK

Paul DeMordant, proprietor Of
Rialto theater, announces the COM
ing of Lorna DOone some time soon,
to be shown in the screen.
Lorna Doone is one Of the de-
lightful novels written by Black
man, noted for his talent for depict
ing the beauties of nature and
blending fine nature scenes with his
romances. Lorna Doone is cOnsid
cred his masterpiece, and it's effect
is in the direction Of wholesome
thoughts with fine inspiration for the
better things of life. Something
further will be given on this book
and play in our next issue.
The new city ordinance removing
half of the inconvenience of getting
into the Sunday shows goes into eff
feet ON Sunday, Jan. 21. The old
ordinance read that a show might
open at and again at 7 p. m, but
must be closed from to Z. The
Interpretation Of it's meaning was
that it was a violation of the ordin-
ance to sell ticket or allow pat
ron to step inside the door at 3.59
or at $50, no matter If it were a
woman with a babe in arms and a
cold wind blowing at the front of
the theatre. She had to wait till
the clock struck to lay down her
money and get into the building.
Half Of this ban has been removed
and on next Sunday person can get
in at 4 p. m. and at any time there
after up to 10 o'clock in the even
ing. Mr.. DeMordant is much graft
fed at being able to overcome half
of the trouble for his patrons, and
we predict that II there are no dire
arising from this ex-
pertinent, the ban may be further re-
moved to allow mother and baby to
enter a few minutes In advance of
the afternoon performance, say at
$40 If she happens to arrive that
early. If permitted to Leave her
money that much earlier with the
show and to sit in cofort within,
probably no bad effects will be felt.

LEGISLATOR WRITES HOME

Representative George A. Line ir
writing a business letter from Boise
| to this office adds the following
paragraphs that will be of interest
to our readers:
Thus far / find things very in
teresting here and from indications
it looks like we will have a battle
royal. Viewing the situation from
close range it seems to me that we
are up against about the same pro-
position that David was when the
two great armies, the Phillistines
and the Israelitish armies were ar
rayed against each other and that
big fellow Goliath marching up and
down the lines, Boosting that he
could lick any man that they could
send out. The legislators are play
ing the part of David claiming that
we are big enough for the job, but
we found upon arriving here, that
like David, also we were not even
big enough to carry our armor
Hence we will have to adopt the
same tactics which David used and
If possible hit the bulls eye.
We realize that human nature is
about the same today as then, they
laughed and scorned David because
of his position and even after he, as
boy, had accomplished this great
feat he was scorned and relegated to
the scrap heap. Remembering
David's treatment, we are trying to
console ourselves, realizing that
whether we do or do not accomplish
the things we were sent to do, that
we will meet with the same fate that
he did.

BEACHY SHOE $500"
STORE WILL CLOSE

The Beachy Shoe company has
announced the closing of their
Blackfoot store OH March 1, and
closing out sales now in effect to
reduce the stock to the VANISHING
point as nearly as possible.
This store was opened March 1,
1917, and for the past year or so it
has been a question whether 1t
would be wise to keep it open, de-
pending largely upon the length Of
time it takes to get back to normal
in this community. When the store
was opened there was a large popu-
lation Of dry farmers with high
hopes of greater extensions in that
industry, and now they are nearly
all gone from their farms, besides
great thinning out Of other people,
and in closing this store, Beachys
will be relinquishing the field to
those who were here before. The
decision to close probably indicates
a decision on their part, that re-
gaining the old volume of business
will be matter Of many months or
perhaps years.

THE WOMEN's BLOC

The newest "bloc" in the Idaho
state LEGISLATURE is that formed by
the three women members who have
pooled their interests and will work
for the things that to their mind
are the most important.
The three women members say
that the plans outlined in the tiiss=
sage of governor are all right and
fine, but there are other things and
while the men look after the
political and financial welfare of the
state they will look after the physi-
cal and moral welfare.

measures and prohibition were the
things Mrs. Beardmore said she was
most vitality interested in.
