Dr. Payson was the first speaker
at the Monday morning session. The
.following is a synopsis of his address
Education is an important industry
to our country, large in the number
of people employed and the amount
expended. The people have a right to
know what should be expected from
this large expenditure. The aim of
education is to fit men beter for the
work of life and the duties of citizen
ship. To secure thts result the first
quality to be established is intelli
gence; the ability to know what is
true and to face it. A disagreeable
truth is beter than an agreeable un
truth.' The second quality to be es
tablished is obedience; an understan
ding of government and détermina
tion to abide by its laws and institu
tlons In a democracy every person
has à responsibility toward his gov
ernment hé cannot place on the
shoulders of others. There is too
much of carrying people to the pools
in autos. Education should establish
a respect for and a desire to work.
Too many think education will afford
them a means to gain success. It
rather affords them a means to serve
and work better. The purpose of ed
ucation is to let a man find out the
best that is in him and fit him for
that work. It should also teach him
the necessity of cooperation with
othersr. He can do little by himself:
team work is required.
Dr. Ira Howerth next spoke on the
"Social Heritage and Education" The
President of Columbia University has
said that education is the transmis
sion of the social heritage to the
children. We have nothing to do with
biological heritage, but rather with
that heritage of tradition, custom,
modes of thought etc, into which each
child is born. It obtains a measure of
it in the home, but it is in the school
where it should receive the largest
and most valuable portion of it. All
nations and races have their own so
citl -heritages, but we do not need
to traverse these. National sentiment
is necessary for national unity and
development, but we should not neg
lect to obtain the best of the heritage
of others in science, art and litera
ture. What is best to select in sci
ence should be left to scientists not
religionists. Bryan and the Kentucky
legislature would shut the study of
evolution from theschool and in doing
so they are stepping outside their
legitmate functions. In art it is a
little more difficult to say what that
heritage shall be, but there is a gen
ehal agrément among the educated
and it can be drawn from all na
tions. In literature there is a wide
field from the Bible to Shakespear.
Why should any child be deprivedof
of reading the Bible as a wonderful
literary production _ We must edu
cate and improve the individual so
that he will not be carrying a lot of
debris, but only such a heritage as
will develop lofty ideals and the best
citizenship.
Dr. Smith took as his subject the
individual in Education. Citizenship
the goal to be secured by right ed
ucation. Growth or development, not
prepartion is the main object of edu
cation and to secure this human sym
pathy and understading of the child
is essential to good teaching. The
course of study should be adapted to
each child; neither uniformity nor
conformity should be aimed at, but
rather the individuality of the child.
To obtain this the taste of the child
should be considered, and the work
should also be guaged according to
his capacity. We should measure the
ability of performance.
Dr. Smith spoke Tuesday on "The
Responsibility of the Community tor
its Youth." The community should
share the responsibility of education

Dtinning Spoke
Tuesday Evening
A small but attentive audience met
at the court house Tuesday evening
to hear Mr. Dunning, candidate for
representative to Congress criticise
the republican and democratic part
ies and explain the principles and po
licies of the Progressive party. He
claimed that the corporatons con
trolled 65 per cent of the wealth
and that these dictated the policy
and laws of the government. He
found nothing in the democratic or
republican platform that proposed to
save br get back these natural re
sources. He favored a direct pri
mary law that would make it possible
for the people to select their own
candidates and in case a primary
candidate had a majority he should
be declared elected without going
through another election.
He spoke in favor of a bank guar
antee law and the public ownership
and operation of public utilities.
Speaking of the taxation of natural
resources he said there was mining
land in the state worth a hundred
million dollars that were assessed at
a million.
THE FAST HAIL
COMES IN ON TIME
There can be no doubt about the
entertainment value of The Fast
Mall," the William Fox melodrama
which shows for the first time next
Sunday at the Isis theatre. It is action
plus and contains enough thrills to
satisfy even the most critical movie
fan.
"The Fast Mail" which was pro
duced from Lincoln J. Carter's sensa
tional railroad melodrama is even
better than the original play which
ran for twenty-two seasons, All the
thrills that delighted the popular love
for exciting melodrama are shown on
the screen with the realism which
could not be attempted on the stage.
SALVATION ARMY
WILL MAKE DRIVE
The Salvation Army operates a
large chain of Rescue and Maternity
Homes for girls in the United State3.
The last home which opened one year
ago in the city of Boise, serving the
shates of Idaho and Utah, is the twen
ty-ninth institution of this kind in
the United States. Nearly five thous
and girls passed through these insti
tutions last year, eighty-five per cent
of which proved satisfactory and are
placed in positions where they have
become self-supporting.Seventy girls
have passed through the Home in
Boise since it was opened. Girls are
received from every part of the
State, Bingham County and nearly
every county in Southeastern Idaho
being representated. The Salvation
Army will endeavor to raise funds
next week for the support of this
work in the state. Your contribu
tion will be greatly appreciated.
Faithfully yours to serve,
JESSE ROE,
Adjutant- Campaign Secy.

TWO STYLE SHOWS TOR TEACHERS
STAGED OY LOCAL MERCHANTS
Long before the curtains were op
ened the amusement room of the L_
D. S. Tabernacle was filled with à
multitude of people anxious to see
the newest creations in gowns, millin
ery, shoes and other accessories of
the well dressed woman. Of course
women predominated, but there was
a large number of men there to see
what was to be shown for their wo
men folks to wear. Befere the show
opened those present had an oppor
tunity to admire the handsome parler
suite of roomy and comfortable
couches and chairs, the large Whit
all Anglo Persian rug, the standing
electric lamps with tnelr bright sha
des and the two large vases filled
with white and yellow chrysanthe
mums all furnished by the Brown
Eldredge Company.
Finally the curtains were pulled
aside by the little Misses Jean Collins
and Barbara Holbrook with fluffy
white dresses and a procession of
beautiful women beautifully gowned
made their appearance, walked back
and forth on the stage displaying to
the best advantages the lovely crea
tions of the modiste, the milliner .the
boot maker and jeweler. It is quite
beyond the power of mere man to ad
equately describe them. The gowns
were from the stoccs carried by the
Seeger-Bundlie Co, There were
gowns for the street and afternoon
and evening wear, the darker ones
touched up with bright colors at the
waist the neck or Iming of the over
draperies. There were gowns with
the new circular skirt, of panne vel
vet and of metal cloth. The last were
very striking. One was of gold and
the othpr seal brown, and they glit
tered and shimmered in the bright

light like moon light reflected on
running water. Their striking effect
was heightened by the small hoops
that widened the costume at the hips.
The tight skirt appears to have
gone out of fashion. The beauty of
the Greek costume was its flowing
lines, and the fullness and draperies
of todays costumes give that graceful
effect^
There I were also displayed three
piece suits, school girl costumes and
serviceable and natty looking sports
clothes and outing garments. Two
little floks also apeared who sugges
ted a snow bird and a red bird. An
other display that caused ripples of
amusement were two ladies attired in
the fashions of 60 or 70 years ago. The
one in hoop skirts made one wonder
at strange ideas of fashionable grace
and beauty our Immediate ancestors
had. It leads one to consider whet
her the fashions of today will arouse
the same amusement m the minds of
our grandchildren.
Fashion this season seems to re
quire that the skirts be somewhat
longer, but not long enough to hide
the dainty footwear, which at this
display were from the stocks of ihe
Beachy Shoe Co. The exhibit com
prised patent 3uede pumps with
Spanish heels and straps, suede Ox
fords with saddle straps, and patent
leather shoes with low heels for
street wear.
The millinery was from the John
son Millinery Co , and added much to
the beauty of the display. Over half
of the hats were copies of the latest
Paris models and exhibited quite as
much artistic genius m designing and
creating as does the picture of the
painter. They give the same sense
of harmony in form and color. There
were picture hats to go with dinner
gowns, in black and shades of brown
trimmed with feathers and flowers.
Hats for the street and other places
of metal cloth, panne velvet, Lyons
velvet, duvetynes and self trimmed
and with ribbon bows of the newest
style, all of them harmonizing in ma
terials, style and color with the gar
ments to be worn. The whole effect
can only be described by the French
word "chic".
The English Jewelry Shop furnish
ed the other accessories that are re
quired by the well dressed woman.
These consisting of beads, diamonds,
watches platinum bar pins, finger
rings in platinum and diamonds, onyx
and diamond sets, plaitnum LaValll
a
ers and mesh bags and vanity cases
whose sparkle lent added beauty to
the costumes^
In the last half of the show the
stage settings were changed to a
suite of sun room furniture, simple
and comfortable. During the show
the audience was entertained by or
chestra music, vocal quartettes song9
and recitations by local talent.
Tuesday evening the Brown-Hart
Company gave a fashion show at that
establishment. Gowns and wraps
#ere shown by the Brown-Hart Co.,
hihts were displayed by the Mode Mil
linery, and the draperies, rugs and
furniture were shown by the Brown
Eldredge Co., Music was furnished
by Ronald Robbins and Miss Rosylyn
Baron. The following models appea
red in gorgeous evening gows, exqui
site dinner dresses, stunning sport
clothes, sdiking coat dresses and
marvelous coats with sheos and hats
perfectly matched: Miss Marie Mil
lick, Lorene Tavey, Irene Good, Vera
Robertson, Lila Liljenquist, Vera
Benzley and Irene Briggs. The mod
els decended the stairs aijd modeled
the garments on a platform in the
center of the store and then in the
window. The store was packed and
the people thronged on Une outside
in front of the window life view the
the display. \
The entire show demonstrated that
the people of Blaekfoot çeed not go
out of town to obtain thé Ultest in wo
mens wear. In fact the same thing
can be said of everything needed by
the individual or in the home, for
this exhibit was a very small part of
the variety and volume of goods
carried by Blaekfoot merchants.
STRONG JOLLEY
At the pleasant home of Mr. and
Mrs. Mark B. Touhy, Tuesday evening
of this week, Miss Vera Strong of
Ucon, Idaho became the wife of Mr.
Chester B. Jolley of Idaho Falls. The
binding words were said by Rev. J
D. Gillilan. The young people will
make their home in Idaho Falls
Mr. and Mrs. Touhy stood by while
their boat was pushed off into the
shallow waters of the matrimonial
sea and wished them bon voyage.

and the "Hungario Air." The latter
expressed the characteristic wildness
interspersed with the plaintive melo

In which to get the larger credits on

tion now.
Saturday night is the finish of tho
first period In the NEWS big $4600
salesmanship campaign. Just two
more days to win or lose prizes
worth thousands of dollars.
So closely arrayed, and with hon
ors so equally divided up to tho pro
sent time, It depends almost entirely
upon results obtained by each Indiv
idual participant and his or her
friends, between this date and tho
close of the "first period"—Saturday
night, October 21st—to tqll who tho
ultimate winners will be.
No one has a'Valk-away" for tho
Bulck, neither la anyone hopoloealy
beaten. Just few long term subscrip
tions secured for any one of tho
various contenders would change tho
entire line-up and crown a new lead
er. A little help volunteered now may
be just the aid necessary to stem tho
tide of defeat and turn It into sweep
ing victory for some deserving par
ticipant.
Of course, the race does not come
to a close until November 18th, but
the winners are sure to be among
those club members who make the
best records this week.
It Is not wliat has been done or
what will be done four weeks from
now. It Is what you do now that
counts. The wise club member Is he
or she who sees the opportunity to
day to put into effect a plan of cam
paign that will compel victory to
perch on his standard.
Records to he Broken This Week
From ' every quarter come reports
of records to he broken Saturday.
Club members have deep laid plots
for increasing their credit totals by
hundreds of thousands. Five-year
subscriptions will roll in as never
before.
Speed Will Win
The crucial test Is now at hand.
If you ever intend doing anything
big in this race, do it now. Instead
of being third, fourth, or fifth,
get up at the top and stay there. Now
is the time to make reasonably cer
tain of the prize you most deserve.
Never again, after this Saturday
night, will it be possible to realize
the maximum number of credits for
subscriptions. This is final and fair
warning. If you entertain and desire
whatever of being declared winner
of the Bulck touring car or the Ford
touring car, to be awarded Saturday
night, just four weeks from this
Saturday night—do not fall to turn
in every available subscription be
fore the close of the "first period .
Mrs. E. L. Nugent of Blaekfoot
leads the entire campaign but is
closely followed by several others In
district one. In district two it is
nip and tuck , as to who the leaders
are and while one may lead today
In this issue there will no doubt be
some changes before the end of this.
