ANOTHER CASE

We visited a farm where the irri-
eating bitches were choked up SO he
could not water his grain and it was
dying. A lot of half starved chickens
were rushing around the place trying
to eat anything that looked eatable,
they even pecked at the eyelets on
our editorial shoes they were so keen
for eatables. He didn't seem to be
doing much with the farm to give
anything chance to grow, and when
we suggested that he subscribe for
The Republican and read the farm
page and try to get some help from
it he took a copy of the paper and
as he glanced thru 1t he said, DO
you publish the sporting new s? Have
you got the boat races here? I
wouldn't take paper unless it came
every morning and had the associat-
ed press dispatches. l want the news
OF the war and of the sporting world
the morning after it happens or
don't want a paper at ALL"
Still Another
The man was working and he
paused to exchange greetings. He
took copy of the PAPER in his hand
and said, Eyes, I read this paper
whenever I get chance. Some of
my neighbors take it, and 1 guess I
had better subscribe for it. I am
great reader, and I like to sit down
with local paper and begin at the
first and read it thru, advertisements
and everything just as I come to
them"

SOUNDS LIKE A KICK

The Republican prints just little
war news each week. We don't try
to print the news of the world, but
If the moon splits in two or anything
unusual happens outside of the
county we try to mention it just as
briefly as we can.
A few days ago we received a let
ter from good friend of ours at
Sterling, and we judge from the run
OF it that we must have printed some
news item different from the way
he read it in some other paper. This
is the way the letter ran:
Dear Sir Here is $4,000 (He en-
closed 90 cents.) for your news Paper
l don't Want it in my house as
see tina you can print Illus as good
as if it Was Printed in London you
Say that the Russians have taken
Haliez you know just as Well as
do that it Is LEY so please don't Send
1t enne more you know all about the
Russians But you don't know What
the Germans have done ore you don't
Want to know"

WELCOME THE
STRANGER

It must be with real satisfaction
that the people of Bingham county
see their section being made the CEN
ter Of vast financial development,
their beet crops at prmium and
factories being set at strategic points
to handle the beets. There is no
doubt but that competition for beets
is going to increase the beet yield of
the section and also be good for
prices. An enormous acreage of
choice irrigated land along the Aber-
deem branch is going into alfalfa,
which is we'll adapted for beet grow
ing, and even without it there is
evidently enough beet promise to
warrant the new factory now in pros
pect. Unless unhappy circumstances
arise the Eccles boys will build a
factory down the branch, and that
will mean a great deal for further
development. We have already seen
how it has brought new hotel and
office buildings to Blackfoot. 1t might
be safe way to lose bet to wager
against the coming of another bank
for the county. Encouragement is
due these people. They might be
able to come into the county in spite
of unfavorable treatment, but that
Is unlikely. The Parkinson Realty &
Investment company was instrument
tai in bringing this development to
an issue, and altho there is profit in
such work, not every firm has the
initiative to do it. Bingham county's
rich land, irrigated with the money
of this rich investment concern, and
others, will make the industrious citi-
zens of Bingham county rich, instead
of their grandsons.

FRED T. DUBOIS AT
DEMOCRATIC HEADQUARTERS

Ex-senator Fred T. Dubois left
Blackfoot about two weeks ago to
sit in the Democratic western coun-
ellis and help fight out the coming
political battle between the two big
parties. 1t is no inconsiderable
honor to be chosen by the Democratic
leaders to have charge of the western
states in an important campaign, and
1t gives us neighborly pleasure to
know that man is fellow towns
man. DR.. Dubois has been in the
thick of political wars for a long
period of years and it is a tribute
to his battling record to be called
back by the leaders after he had in
a measure withdrawn from active
participation in national affairs.
