MARRIAGE LICENSE ISSUED January 4 to William E. Spillman and Violet Wilson. Blackfoot Men ISHed Mad Lion Gunshot in the Eye Resulted in im mediate Death With no Ap parent - Suffering The big lion named Leo that was with the Wortham shows wintering at the fairgrounds, was killed last week by a gunshot in the eye. Leo was the biggest lion in the sh-w, and got to thinking he was the only one worth while. He took streaks of being cross and vicious, and the management decided to kill him before he did any harm. He was a peculiar beast in being the child of related parents and he never had been quite normal and dependable in his disposition. Cnief of Police Drew was assigned the role of executioner, and he went to borrow a rifle of Osmond Buchanan, who put in a request to be allowed to do the shooting. He said he had always wanted to kill a lion, and lacking the Roosevelt opportun ity to kill them in their own jungles he would kill one ta the circus, since somebody had to do It. Cnief Drew is a fatherly kind of man, so he borrowed both the man and the rifle and into the hunting grounds they went, Buchanan taking the lead. He said he was going to shoot the lion in the eye, and sure enough he did. The bullet entered the brain and did not come out at the back, so there was no puncture in the skin. After the animal was skinned Mr. Drew sent the pelt to Fred Coleman, the taxidermist at St. Anthony to be made into a rug. Obituary Leo was born a lion not by any choice of his, and he became an actor in shows because that seemed to be the only vocation open to him. He never understood the world very well, and he never could get thru the bars of his cage to set matters right with the crowd. He was burled according to the old French custom based on the edits of the church, that actors must not be buried in the churchyard or on any consecrated ground. It was all right to be entertained by an actor or an actress while they wei;e all alive, but when the life had gone out It would not do to have the remains deposited in the same piece of territory unless there was an old fence marking a boundary, between them. Leo was buried like human actors of that earlier, period. May he rest in peace. ♦ SCHOOLS WILL CONDENSE WORK Mrs. Faulconer, county superinten dent of schools, on her return from the meeting of the state teachers' association at Boise, said it was con sidered best to have the school work for the rest of the year deal with the most essential things and try to do the full year's work in them. Nearly all the schools have had teachers on salary and subject to call at any time, and for this the full pay is al lowed, so that the funds will be ex hausted nearly as early as if school were in session. The legislative committee will not ask for much in the way of legisla tion this year, but an effort will be made to have a separate reform school built for girls. MISS HENNABY RETURNS i Miss Mary L. Hennaby returned to Blackfoot Sunday from Granger, Wash., where she spent the past month with her parents. She re sumed her work at the U. S. Land office Tuesday morning.

WILLIAM A. LEE. RALPH W. ADAIR. 25a-l Red +ers (By Mrs. Byrd Trego) Be sure to keep your serial num ber and use it on all government papers. To Returning Soldiers We, your neighbors, speaking thru the Red Cross, welcome your return. You have served us and your country well in the greatest war in history. Whether you served in this country or on the battlefields of France, we are proud of you. In your absence we pledged ourselves thru the Red Cross that in times of emergency and anxiety your family need want for nothing which friendly interest and ample resources could supply. When you get home you may be sure that this family interest will not cease. Our greatest opportunity to be of service may come while you and your family are getting back to everyday life. We may need only to supply you with information, but that will be given promtly and accurately. Whatever we shall have the op portunity to do, working with you, we shall gladly do thru the home service section of the Red Cross. When You get Home Consult Your Home Service Section About These Things Here are some things which you and your family will wish to know about when you return and about which you and they may obtain fur ther information from the home ser vice section of the Red Cross chapter in your home town. Every Returned Soldier Will Need Information Every returned 'soldier and his family will need information about his rights under the war risk insur ance law or the civil relief act or other legislation or regulations for the benefit of soldiers and their rela tives. You and your family will want to know how to'keep your gov ernment Insurance from lapsing; how to file a claim of compensation if you are Injured in the. service; what plans the government is per fecting to roturn discharged soldiers to industry; how to apply for arrears of pay; how long the government al lowance to your family should con tinue, etc. It Is not necessary for you 'to writfy to Washington to learn these things. Washington sends the latest information on these and many other points to your home service sec tion for the use of yourself and youi family. Take your Inquiries to the Ked Cross, where thfey will be an swered accurately and promtly and without charge. Why You Should Keep up Your Gov ernment Insurance When yon entered the army you took out government insurance and allotted a portion oi your monthly pay to keep up premium payments. It is of the greatest importance tha you keep up your government insur ance. f From the home service section ir. your home town you can learn the plans which the g ,vernment is now perfecting by which you can, within five years after l eace is declared, change the form of insuiance which you are now carrying into any of the ordinary kinds of private insurance. It will still be government insurance, however. If your premiums are kept up you may take advantage of these plans without medical examination, even tho you may have suffered some injury or contracted some illness in the meantime which would make you uninsurable in an insurance com pany. Even if you are sound and healthy, do not be persuaded to drop your government insurfChce. You owe it lo yourself and your family to keep yourself insured. We believe that you can best do this by maintaining your government insurance for the following reasons: v Ylou keep your family continually protected. It helps you to save money me thodically. It gives you an opportunity by means of an endowment policy (if you want to change iater to that form of insurance) tor provide for your own old age. The government insurance will cost you less than otner life insur ance because there are no charges for commissions, collections, administra tive or advertising expenses. Government insurance is free from taxation. Government insurance is free from claims of creditors. There is nothing safer than gov ernment insurance. How to Keep up Your Government Insurance You should be told before leaving the service the date up to which pre miums on your policy have been paid by deduction from your pay. This is very important. If your officers do not notify you of this date, ask them about it. When this date arrives you should pay the next premium and continue to make such payments each month ^hereafter in order to keep your in surance in force. If you leave the service without learning this date, be sure to make your next payment within thirty-one days after you were discharged. Your letter containing the insur ance payment should be addressed to "The Bureau of War Risk In surance, Attention of Insurance Sec tion, Treasury Department, Washing ton, D. C." and should state the date to which premiums on your policy were paid by deductions from your pay (if you were so informed when you were discharged,) together with the cause of discharge as shown by discharge papers, your full name and rank, serial number, and your pre sent post office address. If you are unable to give your serial number, then you should state the organization to which you were attached at" the time you took out the insurance, your home address at the time of enlistment, the date of your birth and the date*of discharge. If you are in doubt as to the amount, be sure to send enough, tor any overpayment will be credited aw advance payment on future -pre miums. On receipt of your first pay ment the government will send you a form to use with your next pay ment. If you do not mase your insurance payments within thirty-one days after they are due your insurance will lapse and it will be necessary for you to make a formal application for reinstatement. If the insurance has lapsed you should send immediately to the bureau of war risk insurance the full amount which you believe to be due and apply at once to your home service section for information and assistance as to how you may procure reinstatement. ♦ Happenings at Local Churches The Methodist church held their services at the usual hour in the morning and evening.
