THE AUTUMN WINDOWS
AND THEIR MESSAGE

Some poet or philosopher who
should have known better has said
that, "The eyes are the windows Of
the soul" But we all know by good
old trusty authority that what the
eyes see the heart desireth," and
therefor it is nearer to truth to say
the eyes are windows of the heart.
In like manner, the shop windows
in buying season at least are unloos-
eners of the strings that keep our
purses shut.
So the windows of the town are
this week real gay and appealing.
Many are full of things to be desired,
like heaven, and some are artistic.
The Racket store pats winter on
the back by bringing into view a
few bushels of knitting silk for the
fire-side evenings. The other window
is full of fish and the jars thereof.
There must be fish rage, gold fish.
If you can't have it in coin you can
have it in fish.
The Brown-Eldredge furniture en-
porium has one stylish window, with
comfortable rockers, table, piano and
decorative ferns. There is nothing
on the table. no books, no sewing
, basket, no old smelly tobacco pipe;
there is nothing on the floor, no
marks of mud, no slippers, nor news
papers, not even dummy cat. So
| it isn't as easy as falling off a log
to know how that furniture would
look after it had been lat home" for
week. But it is fine and seeks to
appear distinctive, with success.
| The Golden Rule always has full
stock window, prettily arranged to
show the most, from mems shoes on
one side to women's "fxins' on the
other, with children's school supplies
between.
Hayes Gift shop celebrates Edison
week this week with tasteful win,
dow of records, busts of composers
and flowers. The other window
shows us that Halloween is coming
even if we don't feel the frost that's
on the pumpkin with our own cheek
Halloween entertainments doc dads
The Paris millinery window has
some ladies' hats set on upright
sticks. They are happy hats, set al
jaunty angles, just as they are worn
and somehow suggest the dear faces
that ought to be underneath them.
Brown-Hart has a little of every
thing feminine in the window, quite
gracefully displayed. Rowles-Macl
has the conventional dressed-up win
dows, showing samples of mems ap
parel from top to toe and from IN
side out, all the latest and most nat
ty. Alexander also has the conven
tional display, bit more so, with
more democratic lines of clothing
strong work shoes and etc.

WHEEI.BARROW PARADE
is NOW A SURE GC

AS the time of election draws nigh
and the combative reasons OF men
get warmed up to such argument as
NAV not be unraveled by logic, out
only settled by demonstration, 1t Is
natural to expect some amusing
wagers. Punishment wagers, they
might be termed. as they are very
similar in nature to the ancient prac-
tice of making freak oaths, as bets
against the designs of Providence.
Even up to the present day there are
men who swear oaths not to shave
until certain things come to pass
which they are working for. Is II
memory fooling that prompts us at
this moment to imagine that some
man down east in 1912 vowed not
to shave or have his hair trimmed I'M
til Teddy should be seated in the
presidential chair? That man would
be almost unrecognizable by even
this time, and if he should still per-
severe it looks as tho only death
could part him from his hair.
But, to come closer home, we have
two intense partisans, land many
more) and these two have bet each
other on the big election as follows:
If Hughes wins, Fred Golf will wheel
Cecil Lint in wheel-barrow around
our principal business block, starting
at the Standrod corner and wheeling
westward. But if Wilson wins, Cecil
Lint will apply the motive power ana
Golf will recline at ease in the trl-
umphant equippage. Whichever way
IL goes there'll be an interesting
pageant for the grown-up kiddies to
watch, perhaps on the morning OF
the eighth day of November.
There are other interesting bets'
chiefly mercenary. 1t is bet that
Hughes will carry Utah; another man
bet that his co-bettor could not name
five states that Hughes will carry;
a one-to-two bet is offered that
Hughes will receive at least 800 cleo
toral votes; an even go that wilson
will carry ten states north OF the
Mason and Dixon line. This much
is in the air. One can hear the
wild bets fly overhead. It's open sea-
son for great odds.

UP AND GOING MERCHANTS

The Coming Events" page in this
paper is arranged for the convenience
of the reader; to help him keep track
of the club meetings, church services,
movie programs, school functions and
games, and the market prices for live
stock, grains and potatoes. While
the eye seeks out those items especi-
ally interesting to each individual
it will rest upon the business titles
of 22 of Blackfoot's wide-awake mer-
chants.
What is a wide-awake merchant?
One who makes your visit pleasant
when you call upon him; who has
the goods you want; who delivers
them when you order; who Is doing
high class service in the world and
is making good.
Among the coming events suggest
ed on that page is might be said:
You are going to do business with
these business people, trade with
these merchants, bank with these
bankers, attend these shows. y

HOGGING CORN IN MONTANA

"Four of the pigs used in the al
falfa-pasturing experiment were
transferred to the corn plat on Oc-
tober /, 1915. At this time the corn
was practically all matured. Twenty
five days were required for the hogs
to harvest the corn. During this
time the hogs gained 216 pounds, or
an average daily gain of 2.16 pounds
per hog. The yield Of the quarter
acre plat was estimated to be l3.lO
bushels. or 52.41 bushels per acre
Valuing pork at 7 cents per pound,
the hogs returned $1o.12 per one
quarter acre, or $1.15 per bushel for
the corn consumed. In other words,
the hogs consumed 3.4 pounds OF
corn for each pound Of gain. In the
similar experiment conducted In
1914, hogs consumed 1856 pounds OF
corn for each pound of gain"

The Idaho Republican:

The Idaho Republican,:
Being a great lover of flowers, l
thought | would try a petunia bed IN
connection with my other kinds OF
plants. | have been very successtul
in this venture, and so | am writing
this letter.
My husband made me box-bed
along the south side of the house,
about Is feet long and " feet wide.
In this we put some good rich garden
soil, and then planted the seeds about
the fifteenth of May. We then TOOK
some fine wire netting and lacked
it on the edge of the outside board,
then brought it up on slant ana
fastened it to the side of the house.
This afforded protection from the
chickens or anything that might mo-
| lest the plants
Then later as the plants grew, they
peeked thru the small holes OF the
netting, and in this way were held
securely from being tossed to and
fro by the winds Being so close to
the house, and on the south side,
they were not affected by the frost,
and they are just as beautiful today
as they were two months ago.
In connection with my petunia bed
and other kinds of flowers, l had a
beautiful bed of Canadian peoples
which won first prize~at our recent
county fair. They are also thrifty
plants and do we'll here. With flow
ers one can make the home look
beautiful and CHEEKY at small ex-
penSe. -

REMARKABLE YIELD OF
THIRTY-TWO ACRES

Alma hammond, who has a farm
near Blackfoot raised potatoes, beets,
and alfalfa on 80 acres and kept az
counts Of how much it produced. The
results show that a man don't need
800 acres, or 440, or 1000 to make
him considerable sum for his years
work; Mr.. Hammond, in fact receiv-
ed in cash very comfortable pickup
namely $2,973.
We don't know how he treated the
land and garnered his reward, but he
produced the vouchers to show that
he took in the money. Eight acres
of potatoes brought $1,857.73; 8
acres of beets, $440; and 16 acres of
alfalfa $640.

The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1916-10-27


Jimmie Gipson is the mill stone
that is sinking the state Republican
ticket to oblivion. Around Boise he
rs recognized as running the state
headquarters of the G.. o. P, and
the result has been that the old
standpat crowd won't have anything
to do with the state campaign, and
they don't care wether its candidates
sink or swim. They have not forgot
ten Jimmie's comments last June
after Hughes had been nominated
and the skinning he gave the Repub-
licans in general has not lost it's sting
among Hughes leaders in the state.
When they found, or do find, that
Jimmie is doing the main stunt or
running the Republican campaign,
they have, and will, rear up, ana
swear by all that's good and holy,
that they will have nothing to 90
with anybody who even Acknowledges
GIBSON as leader or adviser. Then
again the prominence of Gipson mas
alienated every union labor vote
completely. So things seem to be In
a choppy sea around the Republican
state headquarters.

FORMER ENILOYEE OF YUKON GOLD ON GREAT
 BRITAIN'S HONOR ROLL

DAWSON, Nov 17.-E. F. Glor- ney, formerly employed in Dawson by the Yukon Gold company, has been killed at the front, where he was serving with the British forces. Mir. Glomey was a member of the avia- ton corps. News of the death has been received by c. A. Thomas, man. ager of the Yukon Gold.
 Mir. Glorney was in Dawson and vicinity in capacity of mining engi- neer, and spent part of the time in the Dawson office and part of the time in the field, particularly at the in- take of the Yukon Gold power plant. He came here direct from the New York office, where he had been with the company for some time. His brother was secretary to Samuel Gug- genheim for years.
 It was April 2, 1911, when Mir. Glorney arrived here. He left Octo- Der 8, 1912.
 Mir. Glorney was from Ireland. His  mother, Mrs. s. NJ. Glorney, is in Dublin. He was a graduate of a British school of mines.-News.

ANOTHER COUNTY HEARD

The following from the Valdez Times is amusing enough to be re- printed:
 Ut is amusing to note the friendly spats between Seward and Anchorage as to which is the terminal of the government railroad. Seward trium- phantIy points to the fact that no vessels will get into Anchorage for the next five or six months as con elusive proof that the new railroad town is barred by nature from mak- ing any claims as to the terminal city, In both Seward papers, however, are accounts of a gigantic snowslide, es- tiamted to contain 5O,OOO yards of snow, which has closed the line to traffic and which will not be re- moved until next spring because an- ther one is likely to occur at any mo- ment. This, to an unbiased outsider, would seem to take great deal of weight from Stewards claims, and leave the railroad without any termi- nal whatever. It may be some day that the advantages of Valdez as a terminal point for the railroad to the interior will be recognized. With a pass of less than 2,OOO feet to cross and with no steep grades or deep cuts the Valdez route is the logical one. The harbor is the best protected on the coast"
