the rate is going up. You might
jolly him about it. But you say we
are too serious; you want to Enow
about the bachelors. Tcue, but we
are Al years old, and man in his
forties is capable of advising IL he
is ever going to be, and we want
YOU to have life insurance on your
mind for the feeling Of security it
brings to know that a policv is laid
away for your protection. There is
substantial comfort in 1T and you
are entitled to that comfort. Now,
as to bachelors, let me see, there is
A Land Office Official
Luther King is one Of the record
men at the United States Land office.
He is under the civil service and can
not be discharged for political raa-
sons but has to be retained ON his
merits. He is a fine fellow. very
popular, stays out at nights some,
because he dislikes to stay alone,
(get that?) and carries good-slzed
insurance policy. He has some stock
in The Western Loan, takes care OF
his income and goes about his AFFAIRS
lust like the good man does who as
sumes that somewhere in the world
is the particular one designed TOT
him and that they will be brought
together when the time comes. She
NAV be right here in Blackfoot; they
NAV meet occasionally and not know
their fate yet, and what man holding
those views of life would be anything
but exemplary in his life while walt
ing for the important event. Think
what an anchor it is to mans
character to feel that way about 1t,
and think what responsibility rests
upon the girl il she Is in town now
and not taking forward step during
leap year to solve the mystery OF
comradeship that ought to be. Aren't
Won glad we mention Mr.. King?
The Village Blacksmith
Down on West Bridge street, west
of the Studebaker building, west OF
DIR Cooper's, west Of the Red barn
with it's horses, down where the
chestnut trees ought to be growing
SO they could call it Horse Chestnut
street. is the village blacksmith, and
children coming home from school
look in at the open door. The sparks
are fiving prettily and James Nunley
is at the forge working happily TOT
he owes not any man. Does tnat
sound kind Of poetic and sentiment
tai? Well, James isn't so poetic, but
he Is sentimental, and you might
scrape up an acquaintance. We
recommend a middle-aged woman,
nurse. a. dressmaker, a milliner or
selling agent, who has decided to set
tie in Blackfoot. Mr.. Nunley isn't
SO young as he has been nor he isn't
SO old as he is going to be. He has
no phone at the shop; he depends
upon the ring of the anvil. We think
he carries life insurance; he looks
like man who is thoughtful about
such things.
An Empire Builder
J. Fl. Fayle, of Small, Idaho, gets
his mail at Dubois. He is full grown,
+ands six feet in his stockings or
thereabouts, owns half interest In
Small townsite and buys land for
cash and sells town lots on time. We
think he is interested in a livestock
company up there and he acts like
man who carries life insurance.
He comes to Blackfoot several times
year and reads The Republican
regularly. Once when speaking about
Blackfoot matters he said something
like this /: "You wouldn't think 1t,
but a fellow out in quiet place such
as we are In, takes keen interest
in the growth of Blackfoot and the
doings of its business houses. read
up on who is building, what the city
council is doing and who is remodel
ing. I read merchants announce
ments to keep track of their activi-
ties. There is the Standrod bank, it
has carried an advertisement for
long time on the right hand upper
corner of the local page in The Re-
publican. They say something new
in it every week, and do you know
/ read that and feel assured that the
bank is a real thing and that it is
there and taking care of my deposits;
there is some sort of comradeship
