National Organizations

The Blackfoot Business and Pro-

organized in October, has made rapid
growth and federated with the safe
and national organizations on Febru-
airy 1, just little more than three
months after the first organization
meeting.
The first melting was held on Octo-
Der 22 at the home of Mrs. Fred T.
Dubois. The organization was per-
fected and officers elected. At the
first official meeting held at the
Commercial club rooms on November
Q, this election was ratified. Since
that time regular meetings have
been held on the first and third Mon
days of each month. The attendance
at these meetings is good, and every
member seems to feel personal in
terest in the club and its activities.
1t is because of this friendly coopera-
toin that the club has made such
rapid progress. We also wish to pay

ROTARIANS PLAN BOYS WEEK

The Blackfoot Rotary club, thru
their boys welfare committee, COM
posed of Leo Woodruff, John Esten-
sen, Hugh MacCosham and Mike Bar
clay, are now making arrangements
for the celebration of Boys Week
April 81 to May 3.
The observance of this week has
become a national custom, and has
proven very interesting and benefi-
cial Two hundred communities OBJ
served Boys Week in 1922, while
more than six hundred took advan-
tage of this event in 1928.
The following program will be
carried out at that time: Sunday,
April 27, boys day in church; Mon
day, April 28, boys day in school;
Tuesday, April 20, Boys day in in
dustry and citizenship; Wednesday,
April 80, boys day in entertainment
and athletics; Thursday, May l, boys
loyalty day; Friday, May Q, boys day
at home; Saturday, May 8, boys day
out of doors. slt
We are all well aware of the fact
that the boy of today is the man of
tomorrow and, realizing this fact, it
is well worth your mature considera-
ton and effort in making him the
citizen that you will feel proud of,
and have the satisfaction of knowing
that you did your bit in helping him
build the noble foundation on which
he stands ready to meet the world
day by day.

THE MODERN WOMEN AND
HER RELATION TO THE
BUSINESS WORLD TODAY
Bv MISS GRACE PECK

| The last twenty-five years women
have more and more been recogniz-
ing their place in the business world
Prior to the twentieth century few
positions of any Importance were
filled by women and in positions
which were filled by them the salar-
les were not in any way commensu-
rate with their labor. This condf-
ton, while not entirely satisfactory,
is being gradually improved. Since
women have had a voice in the law
making of our country conditions
have been much better. A minimum
wage law has been esta blished in
most states and the hours of labor
regulated.
The late world war changed condi-
lions great deal and women, for
the first time, really took a definite
place in business.
Positions were filled by them
which before only the most exper-
fenced men had handled and these
women proved themselves, in most
instances thoroly efficient. Salaries
were improved, women demanding a
scale of wages in keeping with their
work
Statistics prove that trained
woman is as efficient for most work
as. man with the same amount of
training and in some types of work
the woman's efficiency is greater.
For example, in positions requiring
a careful consideration of finance,
women have proven much better
as they will not take the
risks men do and are more careful
in detail work. Household training
has made women figure in terms of
pennies and let the dollars take care
of themselves.
There has been much controversy
over women working, some contend
ing that "a woman's place is in the
home" There is no denying the
fact that the average woman's life is
lot complete without a home and

BAPTIST CHURCH NOTES

Thru the few years of it's existence
in Blackfoot, the Baptist church has
been recognized as a real force in
the moral, civic and religious affairs
of the community. One hundred and
thirty-eight members have been add
ed to the membership during the
present pastorate, but our losses by
removal have been so numerous that
the present membership numbers
only about two hundred resident and
one hundred nonresident members.
A constant effort is being made to
increase the efficiency of the organi-
zation thruout it's various depart
ments and boards. The outlook is
quite encouraging and both pastor
and people are hopefully facing the
opportunities of the future.
The Sunday school, under the gen
eral superintendency of Max Smith
but just now under the direction of
Mrs. w. w. Kinney, reports all de-
partments we'll organized and most
of the teachers trying to equip them
selves for more effectual work in the
future. The average attendance is
fine, collections are increasingly good
and the general interest is growing.
The work of the Crusaders and
junior organizations is being report
ed in another column. They consti-
tute a most hopeful feature of the
church activities.
Our B. Y. P. u, under the leader
ship of President Earnest Johnson, is
planning for enlargement. The group
system is just now being perfected
and the prospect is more hopeful
than for some time.

posed of a live bunch of Christian !

children, for to this end was woman

within business the fine standards
that are required for a homemaker
and mother, Is not their service

for Homework IL as much of q bust
ness As selling merchandise.
Again the complaint Is often heard
Women do not make good wives
after they have worked" especially
II they held good paying position,
because they can not be content with
the simple things the average man
can AFFORD to buy. The man that
makes this statement Is a coward
and gutter and Is only afraid of
his own ability to make good. A
real woman Is content with simple
things to start her married life with,
providing her husband has sufficient
ambition to increase his worth from
year to year, as this same woman
would expect to do had she remained
In business instead Of marrying.
In almost every locality efforts are
being made to increase the efficiency
of working girls and women. The
women as yet haven't the advantage
of business experience that, the men
have, therefore clubs are being
formd to educate the women along
the particular line Of business In
which they are interested. The
Business and Professional Women's
club of Blackfoot functions as such
an organization and by celebrating
with the national Business and Pro-
fessional Women's club, as they have
recently done, they have the advant-
age of the experience and opinions
of thousands of trained business
women and thinkers along business
lines. This year the work as out
lined by the national organization is
labor turnover or a study of the
business women in comparison with
the business man, for dependability,
efficiency, comparison of salaries
paid, etc.
At least seventy business women
in Blacl,fot will hear the discussions
as brought up at the various club
meetings. Individual problems will
be discussed, employees consulted,
and advise given to women desiring |
it. Within year many Blackfoot |
men will be surprised at the in
creased efficiency in their office or
force, for the Blackfot bust
ness and professional women expect |
TO show the men that there is a
definite place and need for the
modern woman in the business world
.oday.

AN ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
OF APPRECIATION

acknowledgment of the keen appre-
citation they feel for the hearty CO.

women. The public has patronized
generously and the business men
have given space In their business

sales put ON by the churches and
other organizations. ESQ ajira.fl
It is also fitting at this time that
the women express their approval Of
the clean, high-class pictures brought
here for the picture-loving public.
Mr.. DeMordaunt has shown a desire
to bring to US the very best in
pictures, and we take this means Of
expressing our gratitude to him. He
has generously closed his shows dur
ing chautauqua, when an especially
good number was to be given, In an
effort to save the guarantors from
loss, instead of seeking to put on a
strong picture in an effort to divide
the crowd At no cost to the state
or inmates, he has taken his pictures
to the asylum weekly for the pleas
ure of the unfortunate shut-ins.
Perhaps little is known of the
work for girls carried on quietly by
a certain woman in our midst. She
has given financial aid to at least
two girls in high school, making it
possible for them to complete their
years work She has found en-
ployment for others, and is always
doing, quietly, whatever she can to
assist them. Mrs. Whitcomb's work
with the Camp Fire Girls is along
lines that are very beneficial to girls,
and she would appreciate any inter-
est taken on the part Of the public in
this good work.
The good that may be accom-
plished by the organization of Boy
Scout troops, Camp Fire Girls, and
their kindred organizations, is so far
reaching that it cannot be estimated

to do something for the youth of the

The editorial staff of this special
edition of the Idaho Republican wish
to acknowledge their obligation to
the people of this community who
have so readily entered into the
spirit of this Woman's Issue, and
willingly contributed.
We regret very much that we we're
unable to use all of the excellent
that we received, owing
to lack of space and the fact that

WHY WEAR GLASSES

Seventy-two percent of the people
who wear glasses, do not wear them
because their SIGHT is defective. A
great many people, if asked why they
wear glasses, could not tell you other
than that they have certain eye
trouble that cause their head to ache
if they do not wear them. And that's
why so many people wear glasses to
