FOOT AND MOUTH

Quarantine regulations are being
frightened everywhere in the effort
to stop the spread of the disease, and
killing and burying of infected herds
is still in progress.
Fifty more federal experts were
sent to California last week to aid
that state in inspecting herds and
combating the plague.

the first time in 1871. 1t appeared
again in 1880, 1884 and 1923. 1t
is very contagious and the first
symptoms are chills followed by high
fever and SOLDERING of the animal.
Blisters appear on the tongue and
membranes of the mouth and on the
feet, usually starting in the forks OF
the split hoof. When the blisters
break here is thick ropy discharge.
AS the disease progresses the hofs
become very foul and sometimes
come of, tho in the average not
more than two to four per cent OF
the animals die, and it takes long
time for it to run it's course. 1t at
tacks almost all domestic animals,
but does not seem to have affected
horses. People sometimes get 1t,
usually starting with children, who
handle dogs, cats or other pets that

RIVERSIDE TO HAVE
GOOD BULL SOON

Some of the progressive dairymen
in the Riverside community, who ap-
preciate the value of good bull to
build up their dairy herds, have or
ganized a bull block to purchase a
purebread Holstein bull from the
University of Idaho. 1t was impos-
sible for one of the dairymen to pur-
chase such an expensive animal. so
in order to secure a high class herd
sire for the community number Of
these dairymen have grouped them
selves together to finance the buying
of Idaho Matador illustrator"
This bull is great-grandsOn of
the University foundation COW, and
great-grandson of King Segis x on
his sire side. His dam will make
record of 700 pounds butterfat and
10000 pounds of milk this year In
view of the fact that there have been
only four or five cows in the state
of Idaho that make over 700 pounds
of fat besides those in the University
herd, is would seem that these men
have been very fortunate in secur-
ing such splendid individual to
build up their herds.

THE SCOTT CARAVAN FARMS

H. L. Kennedy, manager Of the
Idaho Grimm Alfalfa Seed company,
is back from a few days at Twin
Falls, Burl and the Rosworth
country. Rosworth was settled by
the Scott caravan, and nearly all of
them sowed some pure Grimm alfalfa
seed as soon as they cleared some
land. They were far from other
fields, and had no weeds or anything
to get into their seed to count
against its purity, and when they all
left their farms to go back home or
to seek their fortunes in new lines
of endeavor, they left a valuable
heritage for their successors on the
farms Those places are yielding pure
Grimm seed in good quantity, and
1t has meant so much to the present
farmers that they are investing
in the materials for carry
ing on the industry. Pure seed is
a concentrated article that can be
without great expense for
freight. 1t is also in demand near
where it is raised in this instance.

FRENCHY'S NEW CAFE

Frenchy's Cafe has closed on North
Main and opened on West Pacific, in
the Biethan building next door to
the Orpheum.
This is larger place than he had
before and has been specially deco
rated to suit Mr.. Nogues and his as
sociates. During the sixteen or
seventeen years he has been catering
to the Blackfoot public he has gener-
ally lead in his line, and his place
was for a long time the best example
and best incentive to other restaur-
ant men to modernize and strive for
excellence. In recent years he has
had competitors, who gave him an
interesting race for the toga of hav-
ing the finest place to eat, and the
public have looked on and COM
mended the true craftsmanship ex-
hibited by the hangers of local cafes
each seeking to have the best.

BOISE BANKER
SERVED SENTENCE

Raymond L. Moore, vice president
of the First National Bank of Boise
has just completed an interesting
chapter under the prohibition laws,
having served thirty days in the Ada
county jail for having spirituous
liquor in the house.
He was prosecuted under the state
law for having it in his possession,
and he set up the defence that while
it was present, it was up to the state
to prove that it came there in viola
ton of the law. The court held that
the mere possession of it was viola
ton and the prosecution did not have
to show how it came to be present,
whether he received it by gift or by
purchase before the law was enacted
and left untouched ever since, or
whether It was made there or just
grew in the container, it was there
and he was guilty. He said that was
unconstitutional and appealed the
case. 1t went up to the supreme
court of the United States, and that
body sustained the decision of the
lower court that he was guilty man
and must serve his sentence, which.
he did, according to press reports,
and he is reported as saying that he
will not stay in state that has such
a law.
That being true, Idaho is likely to
lose one more money changer, and
is freely made that If
everybody whose house contains some
spirituous liquor was in jail, there
would not be enough people left out
side to carry meals to them and pay
the taxes.

w. 0. w. STATE CONVENTION

On Wednesday, May Z, the Wood
men of the World will hold their
state convention at the K. P. hall at
BlackfOot, and business houses are
asked to decorate, using red and
green. The lodge will supply them
with window cards expressing a
welcome to the visitors.
There will be session in the fore
noon and at the noon hour there will
be street parade by the local team,
lead by the American Legion band.
The sessions will open at 9 O'Clock
and O'Clock, and delegates will be
elected for the head camp or ma
tional convention to be held next
year in Yellowstone park. The state
convention assemblies every four
years and the head camp meets the
following year.
The local WOOdmen express the
hope that as many citizens as can do
so should be in the business section
at noon to witness the parade and to
salute the visitors who come to our
town at the earnest solicitation of
members of this lodge. For good
while the conventions were held in
north Idaho and the western part of
the state, and in 1920 it came to Ru-
pert after a lively contest. Jake
Quillin, Leo Woodruff and j. G. Bond
were delegates and they combined
the vote of the eastern Idaho camps
to bring it to Blackfoot at this time,
and naturally held out to them the
promise of a good town that would
take proper care of the convention
and each and every delegate. In CO.
operating with these gentlemen and
the fraternity, 1t is suggested that
citizens turn out at noon and con-
slider themselves acquainted with all
visitors and seek to make merry on
the basis of mutual friendship and
goodwill.
The evening session which, of
course, is open only to members of
the lodge, promises some very un-
usual performances at initiation that
are expected to take the form of
and be a great treat to

COUNTY NURSE SERVICE

Early in February the matter of
holding free dental clinic for the
children of this county was discussed.
the dentists offering half days SER
vice free each week free of charge,
IL the county would furnish the
necessary equipment. The children
from each school in the county were
invited to put on some form of en-
| tertainment to raise funds for this
purpose. Mrs. Faulconer reported
at recent meeting that number of
schools have plans under way and
Basalt has already sent in their
check for $3.50.
Miss Edith Chaffee, the county
nurse, sends in the following report
of her work:
One day spent to complete More
land school inspection.
Other schools in which inspections
were completed are Fort Hall,
Thomas, Firth, McDonaldville, Glib
and Pingree.
Having completed inspections in
all the schools in the county except
ing those in the vicinity of Aberdeen
the public health nurse will make her
pills of all schools have received in
pills of all schols have received in
spection.
Grandview was visited April 7 and
9 and Aberdeen primary grades on
April Is. A total of $40 pupils have
been inspected this month.
The usual number of health talks
were given for instruction of pupils,
and one talk was given at meeting
of Firth P. T. A.
Probably one of the most valuable
things accomplished this month was
the finding and removing from the
Gibson school bad case of trachoma.
This pupil Can Indian boy) might
have infected the eyes Of all the
pupils and the teachers of the school
as his eyes were in the most COM
municable stage of that dreadful
disease, which frequently causes
blindness.
1t is most crafty to see the
marked improvement in school work,
as we'll as in physical condition of
number of pupils who have had
tonsils removed this winter, the
proper fitting of glasses has brought
improvement in the work of
quite a number.
The health committee sincerely
hopes that parents of other children
who need such corrective work, will
plan to have it done as soon as
school closes, in order that the chill
dren may be better prepared for next
years work.
