BASIN LOSES GAME
TO OAKLEY DIST.
SCORE Is TO As
Political Campaigners Have
Wonderful Effect on
Their Audience

The football game last Friday be-
tween the Basin district school and
the Oakley district school was a very
fast one from start to finish, with
Principal Sam Fairchild as manager
cf the Basin boys and Principal
Aaron Horne for the Oakley boys.
The game was a really interesting
one all the way through. The boys
showed very good training. Joseph
Larson of Oakley was referee and
he also did some very excellent work.
With Captain Elden Fairchild for
the Basin squad and Bedke and AL
ton Fairchild, they crashed through
tie Oakley forces and made blood
and smoke fyl. Although the Basin
boys were very much smaller, they
manifested pluck and succeeded in
making twenty-five points against
forty-five in favor of Oakley.
The Republican rally Monday
night was very good one and no
doubt was very much for good as
the Basin precinct went very strong
for the Republican party-about 80
per cent Republican, whereas here
tofore it has been just the opposite.
So we will give the honors to the
following gentlemen who were the
speakers for the Republican party:

Oakley Meets Burley
Score Seven to Six

Oakley and Burley engaged in a
hard-fought gridiron struggle last
Friday at the Burley fair grounds.
The closeness and bitterness of the
contest is shown by the score of 7
to in Oakley's favor. 1t is spoken
Of as the most interesting and most
evenly played game of the season.
Both teams resorted mainly 10
straight football, thought each tried
an assortment of trick plays and un-
common formations in an endeavor
to tie up the game. u
Burley's defence was prepared es-
pecially to stop Oakleys wide end
running attack and forward passing
combination, which are much heral-
Ged in this section.
On offense, Burley made good use
of big Bill Jacklin,' captain and
star tackle. She used many forma-
tions, but all hammered off tackle
with Bill as the keyman, or wedge.
Split bucks netted yardage enough
to score one touchdown, but Hult
failed to kick goal.
'Poodge" Critchfield intercepted
one of Burley's forward passes in the
fist five minutes of the game and
raced 60 yards for a touchdown. He
also converted the extra point The
ball see-sawed back and forth most
CT the game.
This Friday, November z, the
Cowpunchers will scrimmage with
the town boys to get ready for the
big game with Jerome next week,

IDAHO SPORTSMEN
DON'T GET ENOUGH
FOR THEIR MONEY
State C m e Department
Should Be Taken Out
of Politics

The Rigby Star publishes figures
taht seem to prove that the game de-
partment of Montana delivers the
goods much more efficiently than
that of our state. Montana, it seems,
operates II hatcheries to our 5, and
plants 60,000,000 to our 16,, ZOO, 900
for approximately the same
amount of money.
"The state of Montana game de-
partment," says The Star, lis con-
trolled by the state game warden and
five commissioners, representative
sportsmen, residing in five different
sections of the state. Idaho has no
commission, and often times a man
is appointed state game warden who
knows nothing of game conditions.
and has previously shown little or no
action or interest in game or fishing
He is therefore at a great loss to get
adequate facts from the various sec
tions of the state without big loss
of time and much expense in travel
ing, for Idaho is a very large state. ;"
"The game department does not
not cost the taxpayers of the state
one cent, but is sustained by the
sportmen who annually plank down
their money for licenses, which is in
itself argument why they should
have active representation in the ex-
ecution of the affairs of the depart
mcnt, and to see that they get the
most for their money
This appeal to sportsmen of Ida
no, is not censure of any one polit-
ical party, because the party not at
the head of state affairs has been in
favor of such move, only to have
severe reversal of opinion when
again being successful at the polls. -
To us it seems intolerable that the
great outdoor sport of fishing should
have to decline-just for the sake of
making the state game department
help pay the campaign expenses of
some political party! 1t is a sin
against the cause of the Great Out
of-Doors! In many eastern states.
the streams have been polluted, dis
colored and made unfit even for the
abode of such groveling creatures as
suckers. Idaho's steams are yet un-
spoiled and with the proper sort of
should provide sport
Tor fishermen for thousands of years
till all our political parties have
been supplanted.
The sporsmen of Idaho should |
make themselves heard in decided |
ones. We are putting this article I
1to type before the result OF the
election is known. So far this this
'lan is concerned, 1T doesn't matter a
'reat deal. The sportsmen can
make themselves heard If they HOL-
.ER LOUD ENOUGH.

Oakley Project Suited
For Excelling in Dairy
and Poultry Product.
By j. w. Barber
County Agricultural Agent

When we consider the features
tnat are essential for the most eco
nomic and successful production of
dairy and poultry production, we be-
hard to find country much better
adapted to these two industries than
the Oakley project.
The features that make a district
best adapted for dairying and poul-
try raising are mild winters, soil
and other factors that make it pissi-
BILE to produce large yield of all the
feed necessary for maximum produc-
tion, a large percentage of sunny
days throughout the year. accessible
ty to good markets, an abundance of
good pure water, and a comparative
~ low cost of operation.
The Oakley district answers all
Cf these requirements. When we con-
slider the fact that our lowest tenn
perature last year was seven below
zero and that the temperature was
below zero only on three days, and
that out of the 365 days in the year,
there were 256 clear, 49 partly clou-
dy, and inly 60 that were cloudy all
day, we can easily see that the eli
mate is very favorable for these in
dustries. Elaborate expensive barns
are not necessary for the cows, chel-
ter is not needed for the hay, and
the poultry can be housed in the op-
en-front houses all winter, insuring
adequate ventilation and much less
sickness and disease than is found
where they must be housed in closed
houses.
There are practically no other sec
tions in the United States outside of
Oakley and southern Idaho, where it
is possible to raise such large yields
CT every feed necessary for maxi
mum growth and production as can
be grown here. Our alfalfa is very
high in nitrogen, lime and other min
erals making it possible to secure
large production from our cows
without the necessity of feeding high
priced mineral and protein feeds.
Alfalfa hay baalnced up with the
grains, pasture and silage that we
can grow, makes as good a ration as
can be secured for dairy cows. We
. rsa nI ICn q h 70 10, t<x1x L.
practically all the feed necessary for
high production of eggs and for pro-
per development of young poultry.
In distance we are somewhat re-
moved from the large consuming
But when we compare our
feed costs with those of the large |
poultry and dairy sections we find |
that we can produce a dozen eggs |
and ship them into the New York |
market about five cents per dozen
cheaper than. New Jersey can, and /
that we can produce pound of but
ter and put it on the New York mar
ket about two cents per pound chea-
per than Wisconsin. We are also
close to the Los Angeles and coast
market which is the best butter and
egg market in the country.
Taking all of these things into
it would be hard to
conceive of section better adapted
o these two Industries than is the
oakley district and the rest of irriga-
ed southern Idaho.

Education Association Convention
Friday, November Z, 1924.
BY SISTER MANGA SCHoEN,


(ConcLUded from S1tIrdays AUj8.)
The kindergarten is called the play
school of the little child, and sometimes
the parents refuse to send the children
to kindergarten because they do not
learn in a few weeks to read and write
and spell and say the alphabet. But
through stories, games and rhythm they
become little social beings, overcome
self consciousness and speak freely of
their personal experiences in their homes
and on their way to and from school, and
what is taking place IN school as well.
They learn color by tossing colored balls
and stringing beads. They learn color,
counting and form at the same time. Ia
weaving mats they overlap 2 or 3 or 4.
They march in rs. As or other groups.
They sing, "One little, two little, three
little, four little, five little Indian boys"
And they sing the little song, Five lit
tie chickadees standing at the door, one
flew away and then there were four.
They dramatise stories. They learn ac-
tual position and direction" rney build
houses and stores of blocks and they
make mountains, lakes, and bays in sand
tables, and learn the names of birds,
trees and flowers by seeing them when
taking long walks with their teachers.

kindergarten.
A mother told me her little girl was
always busy busting her home and put
ting chairs in order, and cleaning the
yard, because at the kindergarten she
had been taught that order was the best
way to appear in and she wanted 70 car
ry it out in her home. In Pedagogy we
call that formal discipline.
In the days before the kindergarten
became a part of the school system child
rem were plunged into the first reader or
primer, and little minds were given
tasks that were foreign to anything to
which they had heen accustomed, and IN
that way a case Of arrested developments
is brought about and perhaps a genius
lost to the world.
You teachers who have primary grades
in your schools would find it a great adj
vantage to give kindergarten projects to
those children who have not had kinder
garten training. Materials and lnstruc-
tons for using them are not difficult to
get. Mats can be made from fronds OF

made in the school yard on he ground.

branches of study should be used in pre-
