I'd just pay it myself on 4c3Ount of

scornfully. Il shouldn't be surprised if
it took you six months TO earn what

Jaw, now, didn't expect you to get
into the knockers club about prices"
protested the groceryman. I've told
you half a dozen times that we don't
get the money! It's them farmers
that's gettin' it all. Haven't you been
readin' about 'em ridin' around in au-

it's the poor grocer who gets the blame.

We'll, it's beginnin' to look a little
like spring, amt it% ventured the
gr0ceryman as he tramped a muddy
path across the kitchen floor and began
dumping the supplies on the table. !

these guys that's writin to the papers,
but 1 kin sort O feel 1t in my bones.
Spring fever. I guess, huh?"
The pretty cook smiled disdainfuily
as she brought out the mop and start
ed to clean up her floor.
That's a good name to call it, | sup

brothers back on the farm got - lazy
they couldn't do anything but go fish

do all the chores-he was too busy to
have spring fever"
That's the way-jump on me- said
the groceryman mournfully. Just
when / thought prob'ly you'd get
little bit sentimental about the comm
of spring and matin' birds and--and all
that. Don't you never feel that way in
the spring, Evelina? You know-like
you ought to have a strong arm to lean
On?''

torted the pretty cook. If you don't
want to feel a strong arm youself you'll
go along out Of this kitchen and let
me get my work done"
The groceryman sighed ana moved
slowly as far as the door with his box
under his arm, but he kept MS gaze
on the pretty cook

said gloomily, SOS you wouldn't hand

NEW PHYSICIAN IN TOWN.

DR.. Howard J. Simmons, native
of Iowa and graduate of the Jeffer-
son Medical College OF Philadelphia,
has located in Blackfoot and has Of
fees up stairs over Christ's Jewelry
store on Main street, next to DR..
Gees Dental Parlors. He served
one year as inferno at the Delaware
Hospital at Wilmington, Delaware.
The doctor was on tour of the
west and while making the trip to
Yellowstone Park he became inter-
ested in Snake River valley. Fol-
lowing his impulse to look the
country over, he became possessed
with desire to remain at Blackfoot
although he had previously made up
his mind to locate at Dover, Della
ware. He was surprised at the
country and its resources and was
surprised at himself for changing his
mind in favor of the west, for he had
been carrying the idea that SO far as
he was concerned the west was only
to look at and 60 on. He is now a
resident of Blackfoot, is here be-
cause it is his choice, and wants to
do his part in the community prof
essionally and as citizen. He lives
at the Cottage Hotel for the present,
and his office phone is number 80.

auto CONTEST
GOES MERRILY ON

In the automobile contest there
will be but one who will get 1st prize
OF the big auto delivered free, but
somebody is going to win the second
prize, the six hundred dollar pay
ment on another auto, and while any
one of the many contestants may yet
win the first prize, there is also the
larger chance of any one of them
winning the second prize.
For the information of persons
have not noticed the statement
made heretofore of how to obtain
votes on either of them or the spec
ial monthly prizes we repeat that
every cash purchase made of the
Brown-Hart Company entities the
person paying the money, to receive
100 votes on the dollar. The same
holds good on all business done with
the Idaho Republican except that for
all money paid in on subscriptions
on the paper they received 1000 votes
on every dollar.
Following is the list and their votes

drawn anywhere from 90 to 60 per
