High School Enrolment
Has Increased for Year

The high school enrolment for
1924 is rapidly approaching the 800
mark. At the close of the first two
weeks of school there were register
ed SO boys and 164 girls, making a
total of 262 students. At the end
OF the first two weeks last year
there were in school only 231 stu
dents, which fact shows that 1924
registration has increased 81 stu
dents over that of year ago.
Mr.. Berry, principal of the high
school, made the statement that
from one to seven new pupils are
enrolled each day, and it is general
ly thought that the total registra-
ton for the senior high school will
reach 800 by the close of the first
four weeks of school,
A large number of students from
schools near here are in the high
school this year. Several Of them
are members of the senior class.
One reason for the unusual regis
tration in the senior high this year
is the size of the freshman class. So
far about 80 freshmen have entered
which Is perhaps the largest number
that have ever come in Some of
these are from the country but the
majority of them have come through
the junior high.

GOVERNOR MOORE
STANDS ON RECORD
OF PLEDGES KEPT
Governor Declares for
Continued Policy of
Economy

Governor Charles C. Moore opened
the Republican campaign in Idaho
at HALEY Monday night in an adj
dress to more than 200 citizens Of
the state. The governor pledged
the Republican administration, If re-
elected, to a continuation of honesty,
efficiency and economy in office.
1--WE have kept the faith" was the
keynote of the governors opening
remarks. 1--WE did not consider the
platform of 1920 to be merely an
empty promise to ride to election
on, but as a serious and sacred OBJ
legation to the taxpayers of the state
of Idaho," he continued. 1--WE prom
ised economy and cut the appropria-
tions of the legislature by more than
100000 below the previous bien-
mum. The difference in the mill
tax amounted to more than $780,
900 less than before and the states
budget officer reports that more
than 100000 will be returned to
the general fund from savings in de-
partments. This is total saving,
than $1,00O,OOO cold, hard money
to the taxpayers of the state in the
last biennium
eve have reduced the tax levy
from "a cents per 500 valuation in
1922 to AZ $40 cents in 1928 and
At $40 in 1924, in spite of a de-
crease in the total valuation of the
state. The average tax reduction
for state purposes in the counties
in 1928 was 1878 per cent and an
average of 20 per cent lower than
in 1920.
'The game department with a
smaller force on duty, has saved ex-
penses more than $4,000 in the BIZ
ennium and made permanent i'm

ue of more than $4,000, or total
saving of more than $4,000. Sew

The governor showed economy in
of the consta bulary and
departments, great cuts

is in many others.
He won applause in his reference
o the tariff as the most important
egislation facing congress in its et-
ect on Idaho industries and prod
Lcts.

orally expected. There have been
about 22 men out for regular prac-
tice and some pretty good material

letter men are back this year, but
most of the boys have had some
training. The Blackfoot lineup will
be light, but Coach Hoffman ex-
poets to develop a team fast en-
ough to make up for its lack of
weight. He also thinks that this
years team will surprise the town
as we'll as some of their opponents.
The schedule for this season is
a better one than Blackfoot mas had
for several years. Five games are
to be played on the home field. The
calendar is as follows:
Sept. 26-Firth at Firth.
Oct. 3-Shelley at Shelley.
Oct. 10 Fit. Hall Indians Here.

oct. 31-McCammon Here.
Nov. 7-Pocatello at PoIatello.
Nov. 14-Aberdeen Here.
The first game with Firth on Sep.
TENDER 26 is expected to be the hard
that Firth has heavy,
last team. The Blackfoot boys will
iced the support of the town.

HAS RARE COIN
FOUND I'M BOHEMIA

Anton Kovarik Jr and wife, of
the Summit neighborhood were in
town yesterday on business. While
here Mr.. Kovarik showed the editor
are coin which he had found in
Bohemia some fifteen years ago. Mr.
Kovarik never was able to learn
how old the piece was, nor by what
country it had been issued, until he
recently took it up with the United
States National Museum at Washing
ton, d. c. Mr.. 7. T. Belotc, ciysstee
of History made the following re
port:
"The coin described is from the
description given, one issued by the
Roman emperor Postumus who reign
ed during the period 258-267 A. D."
By this it will be seen that it is
rare piece of coin indeed. The
coin has an impression on one side
only, and some of the lettering still
in fair condition. On the back is a
small loop, giving it the appearance
of lapel button.
