ing this period, II you find yourself
drifting into that state of mind, for
Heavens sake back up and get sweet
again and stay 80 If it kills you
but 1t won't-it will save you.
We started to tell you about the
bachelors and all these remarks have
been merely to give you our observa-
tions ON few things we are pretty
sure of. You see we don't take a
radical view of any of these matters
in fact our head Is cool and level
and our disposition sweet, so our
counsel is safe guide. Make up
your mind that thru all the bitter
and sweet you will come up smiling,
true to your self and true to others
whether they think you are or not,
and then with that in mind look over
the following list of fellows and see
if what we say isn't worth consider
ing.
A Milk Man
There is Leo Woodland, the young
fellow who drives the milk wagon
and delivers milk and cream to SO
many people about Blackfoot. He is
as steady as the clock, trustworthy
and reliable, always sober and pleas
ant, would rather please a girl than
to eat, and is one of the owners of a
big farm of several hundred acres
just east of town. He is building
up his business by attending to it
and delivering what people want
when they want it and in tn. condf-
ton they want it. He will be deliv-
ering goods in an auto one of these
days, and where is the milkmaid who
would not like to go along at times
and ride down country lanes singing
together that sweet old song, THE
Low Backed Car"
A Mining Man
If you don't take to stockraising
and agriculture, but have liking for
a mining man, there is ]. W. WEIGH,
who owns the placer bluffs below
town where there is more gold than
some of us ever saw, but, of course,
it is hard to separate from the gra-
vel. In fact there is more gravel
than gold in the bluffs, and good
many miners have been bluffed out
in the task of getting the minority
member out of the mass. The cele-
brated miners ditch that runs thru
town was built to carry water to OPP
crate the placer mines down there
and many a man has enjoyed the
novelty of operating a gold mine,
for while. Mr.. WEIGH is thinking
of turning his attention more to
farming and raising fine horses, and
he needs somebody to help him de-
eide upon his course. Mr.. WEIGH is
of a good family and is quiet and
modest in his ways. You might like
him.
A Wealthy Farmer
George Peterson, of Grand View,
near Sterling, is a very successful
farmer. He plans carefully, makes
Just about everything come to sue
cessful conclusion, has a fine farm
and everything but the girl and the
suitable house. He has the fine barn
and other improvements, is able to
build any kind of house, and is
probably waiting for help in planning
t. George is great lover OF home
steady as the sun and true as the
moon and if some thoughtful woman
of 30 doesn't propose to him she
ought to Folks will find him just
a little diffident at first, but that is
because he is taking the measure OF
his new acquaintance, and when he
gets ready to be chatty and to visit
he will be found all right. Your
nf i'm Wy r.
ter than the first, and If you are not
going that way soon we suggest that
you write him at Sterling.
A Grocery Salesman ~!
E. w. Enlow is salesman at Pear
sons Grovery at Blackfoot. Did you
notice we said, salesman" we
might have said Clerk" but we
didn't, Salesman sounds better to
some people and we wanted to give
him all there is in it. Mr.. Enlow is
by nature a business man and one
who will be in business for himself
most of his life if things go we'll.
When you get to know him pretty
we'll you will want to call him Tied"
and if you do and he warns up to
the name your case will be in the
right stage to clinch. Don't ever
let it pass that point and get to
where you call him Teddy" Not
that there is anything in name,
but it is not the sign of the right
state of mind, or sentiment, to call
a man "Teddy." We are anxious to
know who will intimately call him
Ted" and have it last.
Another Salesman
Speaking of grocery statesmen,
there is Lester White, another clerk
in (oh fiddle, we said clerk" before
we thought) Pearson's grocery, who
is going to be in business for himself
one of these days. He is light COM
plected and heavy physically. He
never gets tired, seems wound up
for continuous performance and is
Jolly. He is the kind of fellow who
will win his way in the world and
ultimately become the senior member
Of the firm of White & Duemuch.
Keep line on him, girls, he's worth
A Slender Salesman
Christopher Barnstable is the
slender gentleman at Pearson s, dark
