THE CUB SAYS

Mrs. Honnold. wife of. o. A. Hon
mold, of The Idaho Land & Livestock
company, who purchased the Pratt
ranch between Blackfoot and More
land, is ENGAGING in the poultry bust
ness in a small way while the men
folks engage in livestock of the
larger kind.
Last spring Mrs, Honnold bought
800 day-old White Leghorn chicks
from Petaluma, California, and 299
of them arrived alive. By the middle
of June she had lost "a more, and
when they were large enough she
sold all but the pullets. She has 1875
of them now, and almost half of
them are laying. Last Saturday she
sold IS dozen eggs from them, and
none of the eggs were over nine days
old. The price was SO cents dozen,
or cents an egg. On Monday of
this week she gathered 81 eggs from
the days laying.
A couple of weeks ago a potato
buyer informed us that he had been
out looking over the situation in the
country and had seen one field of
pUldlOGS~ lfoAGH III LlG ground where
he had offered the farmer $2.10 per
hundred for them before the cold
weather, and the man declined and
said he was going to have So per
hundred for them The mercury went
to below zero, and the buyer
judged that the whole field would
bring the man just about three dol
lars total. He mentioned another
place where he had tried to buy a
crop and was unable to get, them
and the man stored >them in big
potato cellar holding for higher
prices which he was sure would come
The cold snap came and a canal
above the potato cellar was running
full of water. Mush ice formed and
choked the canal and turned it into
the fiat and filled his cellar 1t was
an awful mess, and no relief in sight.
Many other cases are reported
where potatoes froze in the cellars
or where they had been covered over
for such " Gather as we usually have
at that season of the year. 1t shows
some of the uncertainties of life and

trying to buy it. All offers are re-

fused and the horse is found dead
in the stable.
A man came into our office recent
ly who has always been poor, and for
several years has been particularly
hard up and obliged to pay interest
ON debts he could not discharge. He
had plenty of potatoes and refused
all offers of fancy prices. He placed
them in his big cellar and is holding
them for higher prices. He stated
to us that he would not sell at the
prices that had been offered. because
these buyers could just as well pay
three cents as not. He said that
Blackfoot is the highest-priced place
to buy goods that he knows of, and
that this fall the buyers here have
been paying only $40 to $2,4O for
potatoes and he knew they could af-
ford to pay SO. The Cub was very
much surprised at such talk, and con-
luded that people still have all the
varieties Ct human Judgment. We
feel like predicting what will become
of those potatoes or what the owner
will be asking Blackfoot business
men to do when the prices of pota-
IS gets adjusted, but that isn't a
safe thing to do. We can tell it
better after it has happened.

ter, and he is the foreman in The
Republican Office. 1t often happens
that when man prepares an adver-
tisement carefully and knows that
much depends upon the way it is set
in type, he hands it to Mr.. Potter
and asks him If he will set it him
self or give it his personal attention.
Ii he wants it run in more than one
newspaper, he often asks that it be
set early and that he be furnished
proof of it so he can send the proof
to some other newspaper as pat
tern to set it by In this way he
can get as much art from some other
compositor as he can from the one
who originates the form. Look over
all the newspapers you have in your
house and see which ones have art
and beauty in their 'type-talks' and
which ones merely look lire 'spat-
ter of ink" When you have studied
these matters a week or two and
have come to see new beauties in
type-talks, you will pick up our
Christmas edition and score the
merits and dement's in each display
ad as you come to it, and find as
much joy in it as you do in picking
the winners at horse race.

GOLD FOR YOU
How to Pick Good Advertising. Read
ing Character of the Writers. Fun
at Home for Everybody. Start
Study Today.

The Republican Office repeats it's
gift of gold prizes for the best ad-
vertising found in the Christmas
edition of two weeks from today.
This contest is open to all who ad-
vertise anything, and to all who wish
to pass judgment and make a choice
as to which is the best. The person
or firm whose advertising receives
the most votes will receive five dol
lars, and the person assigning the
best reasons why it should win will
receive the other five,
The Way to Win
The way to win in advertising is
to have the advertisement that people
like the best, and the way to win
for being the best judge is to study
all the advertisements that you think
have merit, and notice how they i'm
press you. When you have made
your choice, write it down and send
the statement to Jus. If you simply
wish to vote on the matter and not
give any reasons why it is the best,
your vote will be counted in deciding
which advertisement wins.
What is Advertising?
Some people do not know what ad-
yertising is, and that it not so strange
since advertisers are always trying to
frame reading notices so they Will
read as news. There are two kinds;
display advertising, which is usually
set in large type, and readers which
are set in small type like all the
news items. A piece of news may
have large letters in the headlines,
but that does not make it display
advertising.
Few People Understand 1t
The newspaper business is com
paratively new, and it is undergoing
rapid changes. 1t has not been SO
long since all advertising was COM
puted in lines whether it was in
readers or display. Agate lines are
the basis of all display advertising in
the city papers and magazines, but in
the smaller establishments it is COM
puted in inches. An inch OF adVer-
Using is an inch deep and a column
wide as shown below.
The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1916-12-01
An inch of advertising.

An inch of space in this paper
costs 35 cents on front page, II cents
on local page, or 22 cents on any
other pages. Larger amounts Of
space are charged for at the same
rate. If a person takes a space AND
has it set in fine type like a reading
notice it is charged for at reading
rates of ten cents a line. News
items are not charged for, and it is
customary to publish column OF
news for every column of advertising
or keep them about equally divided
In busy times like the fall Of the
year most papers devote more space
to advertising and less to news, and
during the rest of the year more
reading matter and less of advertis-
ing. A paper generally carries all
the advertising it can get, and most
of the year it cannot get enough.
How to Set Advertising
Setting the type for advertising is
an art. and few there are who do 1t
we'll A man who sets type Is called
compositor, and when he picks up
sheet of matter that it to be set
for display, he scans it to see, What,
when. where and by whom" and
then makes those things the leading
display lines in the ad. Suppose the
mans name is Spoopendike and that
he is going to have big sale OF nat
turnips at his store on Saturday. The
leading features in the ad will be
fat turnips, Satu- day, at Spoopen-
dike's. Now IL Spoopendike is ego
tistic and is very much wrapped up"
in himself, he will write his adver-
Using with Spoopendike the biggest
thing in the notice and have the tur-
nips and the time and place second
airy. You can always pick out the
egotistic advertiser by the way ne
gets himself into it ahead OF his
goods. He writes it as If he were
the thing that was going to be sold
and not the goods. AS you look over
the advertising in this paper, notice
whether this feature crops out In
any of the announcements or not
The true test of persons attitude
toward the business he owns OF
works in is carried in the statement
II belong to this business" not
"This business belongs to me-" The
proprietor and each employee should
share the feeling, 81 belong to this
business. belong to this service
| l belong to this system Of service;
l owe it my best thought and energy
l ought to make it a little better to-
morrow than it is today" The man
who writes advertising with that
feeling upermost will have the right
idea of service to the patrons and
will write the kind of advertising
that appeals to people wanting the
kind of goods or service which that
firm has to offer. AS you look over
the advertising in this issue, study
it with that thought in mind and see
II you do not get a new vision OF
advertising and of the men and wo-
men who write 1t.

QUESTION OF DIGGING
BEETS AFTER A THAW

An opinion has circulated more or
less doubtfully among the farmers
who were caught by the frost with
heets in the ground that there were
enough in all frozen under to war
rant opening up one factory in this
region at the first good thaw, when
they might be taken out and hauled.
Such an early freeze is so excep-
tional that the factory men have not
been confronted with just this prob
lem before, but it seems to be their
belief that it will not be worth while
for a facory to open up for what
beets are still under, some 5000
tons. unless it be for an experiment
in saving beets that are held frozen
in the ground for certain periods
of time. 1t would make about a
weeks work for one factory.

COAL SHORTAGE is
RELIEVED BY MINES

Sufficient coal has been mined in
Utah during the past week to relieve
the pressing demand. Mines of the
state were operated 70 per cent OF
the normal time and cars were avail
able to ship the output.
Until this week not more than SO
per cent of the regular output Of the
mines could be handled, on account
of the shortage in traffic facilities.
Railroads report less demand for
cars, and the result has been that
more men are being worked in the
mines and more Of the product is
being shipped. rald-Republican.

TALK ON GARY SYSTEM
1t Is Subject of Discussion at Meeting
of High School Teachers.

Serious discussion of the much ad-
vertised Gary system" took place at
the meeting of the teachers guild at
the high school yesterday. According
to Prof A. ]. Stout, the Gary system
by which more pupils can be accom-
modated in less school space was the
big topic at the recent meeting of the
National Education association at De-
troit. Philip 1. Hasty, director of
manual training in Topeka schools.
spent the first part of the week at
Gary, Ind. studying in detail the plan
and its practicability for Topeka
schools.
The system of intermediate high
schools which Topeka was one of the
first cities to adopt" was also dis
cussed, said Mr.. Stout. Topeka now
has two such schools and probably
soon Will arrange for others. The ad-
vantage is that it gives the student an
early chsno to specialize in prepara-
ton for his life work"
