THE BINGHAM COUNTY Idaho Republican Official Paper of Bingham County PUBLISHED EVERY FRIDAY PRICE—$2.00 PER YEAR BLACKFOOT, BINGHAM, COUNTY, IDAHO, FRIDAY, JULY 8, 1921 VOL. XV. NO. 42 B I ATE Evening Capital News of June 20 Pays Compliment to Blackfoot Cavalry Troop. B Troop Shines. The unit from Blackfoot, B troop, in cavalry parlance, has the advan tage of a good bracng of men who have previously had military train ing. This troop distinguished itself from the opening day of the encamp ment by soldier-like efficiency. For the first three days the inspection officer of the camp gave B troop a perfecit mark for orderliness and cleanliness. The troop is command ed by Caipt'ain W. C. Allen, a former Idaho guardsman who was commis sioned in the service during the war with Germany. Also the "top kick' (first sergeant) of this troop, Ser geant Richard Stevens, served several "hitches" in the old Idaho guard, and one in the last war. The personnel of the troop is in teresting. Had the visitor above al luded to made his approach to the quarters of B troop at or about 6 o'clock of Thursday evening, he would have found everybody in close proximity to the mess tent. Supper had just been served. Officers and men were there, giving undivided at tention to the savory contents of well heaped mess-kits. A Prominent "K. P." A hardened "K. P.'' who had just finished serving the mess had turned to the evening job of scouring the big kettles and pans, singing that well known psalm of soldiery which 'begins with the lines: * "I'm in the army now— I'm not behind Jhe plow—" Were the visitor from Blackfoot he might have got a real kick out of his seoond cook at this happy-go lucky "K. P." for in him he would have recognized one of that city's prominent physicians, Dr. H. J. Sim mons, who was a "medico" in the late war. Nobody in camp is having a more complete good time than Pri vate "Doc'' Simmons. In a Bad Fix. There approaches now a tired and dusty trooper with an empty mess kit. He has very evidently just come from riding in the long parade down town. He looks as the visitor imag ines one would feel after having rid den a Sahara camel over the desert sands all day. He favors his back, he favors first one leg, then the otther. But with a friendly smile which wins the cooperation of the "K. P." who is the source of the food supply, he declares in all cheerful ness, "I can't ride, I can't walk, I can't sit down and feel right. I'm aU in." Any of the folks from Blackfoot would instantly recognize M. N. Aus tin, their well known florist, who has abandoned his cabbage plants and flower bulbs to their fate while he has the time of his life (he admits it) as one of Uncle Ham's troopers. After a goodly supper Private Aus tin might have been seen sitting on his camp bed, shaving in the twi light with tears in his eyes as the merciless safety razor lacerated that sun-made complexion, result of the first three days in the open. The Blackfoot troop is showing up we'l in the care of horses at the stables, as well as in drill, having for stable sergeant a thoroughly efficient horseman in Sergeant James Burnett of Blackfoot. One offcer who has been particu larly impressed by the bearing of B troop on the encampment recently has de^laerd it to be the best trained military unit in the state.—Evening Capital News, June 20, 1921.

M. Breshears, present head of the state constabul ary, as United States marshal.
