The Richfield recorder. (Richfield, Idaho) 1909-1931, 1913-02-13

My dear Julia
81 don't know if you will ever get
this letter, for the most terrible thing
has occurred. Richard Barrett came
back yesterday and told me that the
boat was not going to run any more
this season, now that the island is
private property. He offered to sup
ply me with provisions as long as
wanted to stay. l told him that
would leave at once if he would kindly
place his motor boat at my disposal.
Then he said that he would not unless
20, Julia, l hesitate to tell you what
he said but l must set it down to re-
lieve myself. He said that his fee
would be a kiss and that he loved me
and had always loved me, and that
was why he had let me come to the
island alone after warning away
Agatha and all the other members of
the Spinster's club l boxed his ears.
But the situation is very serious
What shall l do? l fear that l shall
have to yield to his horrible sugges-
ton or l shall never get away. How
hate men! Lovingly,
"Millicent.
"P S. The wretch is back again
and has just asked me if l will accept
his conditions. Then he suddenly
changed and fell down on his knees
He was so abject that l almost pitied
him. He is not bad-looking young
man, and of quite good family. You
know the Barretts of Livingston, L. l.?
He is one them and l understand he
knows Aunt Mary quite we'll You
know Aunt Mary never approved OF
my JOINING the club and tried to get
me to niset Mr.. Barrett last spring.
"P. +. S. Do you suppose Aunt
Mary can have anything to do with
my harrible predicament?-M."
Darling Julia:-
what am to co? My last sup
ply OF fo1d is gone and l shall have TO
ACCEPT his proposition or starve.
am going to tell him that l shall &C
ceLt, and that l shall have a warrant
lssleH for his arrest as soon as 1

aow but defiant and insolent. He said
could have warrant issued on the
sland and that he would give me all
opportunity. | wonder what he meant

FIVE new PAPERS A DAY
ACCORDING to CENSUS
Birth Rate in The United
States and Canada

Philadelphia, January 3O--New pub
locations came into existence during
1912 at the rate of about FIVE a dav,
according to census figures compiled
by the 1913 American Newspaper An
nual and Directory, published here
today
The exact number begun is 1856. In
the same period 1850 were discou-
tinued, making the net increase for
the year SO, about equally divided be-
tween the United States and Canada.
AS in recent years, there were many
consultations Much the largest COM
parative growth was in the daily field
The publishing and printing field,
which the Annual and Directory rep
resents, is one that, in number of
employees, value of products, and val
ue added by manufacture, is exceeded
only by four others in the entire
realm of our country's manufacture,
The increase in value of output in this
industry is remarkable. In ten years il
was more than Sc per cent The an,
nual income of newspapers and publ
cations is now estimated at $36O,OO0,
OO0-a million dollars a day-of
which, perhaps, two-thirds is derived
from advertising.
The current Annual and Directory
describes 24,3S1 publications, If
which 1858 are daily; 1926 weekly;
1868 monthly. These are printed IN
1889 towns, which are likewise COM
mercially described.
Publications issued in the interest
of various classes and lines of bust
ness continue to be numerous. There
are 208 such lists, running from the
large ones, devoted to religion and
agriculture, to small groups, repre-
senting sociology, woman's suffrage,
cement and concrete, moving pictures,
esperanto, etc. Every line of activity
has its printed exponent in thesa
days.

Danger FROM PNEUMONIA
Lessened By Healthy Conditions.

At this season pneumonia is pre-
valent in many localities. Every year
during the cold, damp weather this
dread disease claims it's victims by
the hundreds.
The best possible preventive of
pneumonia is to keep the system in
strong healthy condition and not
allow ones vital resistance to become
lowered and if, perchance, the sys-
tenn should become rundown or a
chronic cough or cold develop which
is hard to cure, take Vinol, our de-
licious cod liver and iron tonic with
out oil
Mrs. Ellen Lyle, of Lima, Ohio,
says: Il was weak, nervous and run
down, and pronounced by doctors to
have a serious lung trouble l was de-
SPARED of by all, but l read in the
newspapers what Vinol had done for
others and decided to try it. I took
six bottles of Vinol and am now in
perfect health and never felt better
in my life. l weighed 1913 pounds
when I began taking Vinol. l weigh
ed last week 140 pounds
Try Vinol on our guarantee. Murray

ANNOUNCEMENTS
For Sheriff.


l hereby announce myself a candi-
date for Sheriff of Sumter county to
fill the unexpired term of w. H. Fea-
gin, deceased. If elected, Mr.. Jack
Slappey, of Plains, Ca, will be my
deputy
Since entering the race for sheriff
many voters have requested US to add
a third man to our ticket, who would
be jailer, without any other duties, on
ly look after the Jail and prisoners.
After giving the matter careful con
sideration, we have decided that Sum-
ter county is now large enough, and
the care of the Jail and prisoners inn
portant enough for some one to be on
duty there all the time. Therefore, We
wish to announce to our friends and
voters generally, that if elected, Mr.. J,
B. Nicholson will be jailer, and give
his entire time to that important posi-
ton.
We will appreciate heartily the
support of our friends and the voters
generally. Respectfully.

not wiser. according to the school su-

Questions have been asked il the

mer years" said n teacher today. and
after n thorough investigation it was
learned that the average child who
now enters high school is older rather
than younger. The average student
years of the students from Garfield
school is nearly fifteen years of age
while the average age for the past ten
years of the stpdents from Garfield
has been fourteen wears of age. The
difference is approximately 10 months.
The same average is maintained by
the graduates of high school"
No reason could be attributed to the
cause by any of the authorities. The
course of study is approximately the
same as il has been for several years.
The students are smaller in stature
this year than they have been for the
past few years and according 10 the
