And he made for the door.

leave what owed and tip on my table.

with the entering Dane.

vacated.
He had been drinking; not much per-
haps, but enough to in1ame one of his
rather easily excitable temperament
"Absinthe,' he told the waiter.
1t doesn't take much of that stuff to in
fame any man. Into my dislike of Dane
came pitying contempt. The man who
falls for that decoction is victim of
drug habit, no less. Dane looked inquir-
ingly at me. | shook my head coldly
The waiter left us, and Dane did not
speak while he was gone. Nor after his
return did he speak until he had arranged
his teetering dropper, and the water was
trickling, musical tinkle accompanying
each drop, upon the absinthe-bathed lump
of sugar in the bottom of the glass. Finally
the glass was filled; he removed the silver
dropper and slipped the drink. He put
his glass down and looked at me.

did that niger jock tell you?"
MISS LELAND, thinking no harm, had
repeated to Dane my words about the
Jockeys confession. And the result had
been that we We're beginning to get out

me what you said about your jockey"
"Too bad Miss Leland doesn't know
you.' l said. "When she does she'll be
less generous with her speech"
He took long drink; then he put his
glass down and stared at me.
Its only quarter past ten, Herman,
he said. "Fifty-fve minutes more before
the late train leaves Herman, take that
train! You're not wanted in Grantham.

SOME NEWSPAPER CHANGES

The Boise Statesman has just TAX
en- a good man away from The Idaho
Republican. The Republican took
the same man away from The States
man last January, so 1t Is all good
sport and agreeable.
The man in question is George
w. Manning, who has been with The
Statesman for many years and is
probably the best newspaper solicitor
in the state. The Statesman showed
their appreciation of his worth by
Offering him $40 q week and ex-
penses. The Republican had only
been paying him $50 and expenses
and furnishing him car. When
Mr.. Manning came to work for The
Republican, he said The Statesman
people were nice people to work for,
but he thought he would like to try
working on weekly, and for man
who knew his county and his people
and the local conditions thoroly and
who had more system in his business
than any of the other publishers OF
weeklies in the state. The editor OF
The Republican replied that he had
received much inspiration for his
work by sticking around The States
man office studying their system, SO
the compliments are still even.
Manning and Trego tried all spring
and summer to find out which one
could bring in the most business per
week and it was a draw.

Pobe's Peace Plan
Is UnfuUorable

Conference among the entente dip
today resulted in the opinion that
Pope Benedict's peace move is not
likely to change in any substantial
degree the attitude either Of the al
lies or of the American government.
1t is, however, agreed that there
must be made a response to the
pope's proposal far more compre-
hensive than a mere acknowledg-
ment, and this is difficult and deli
cate undertaking.
This gives President Wilson an op-
portunity to again impress upon the
American people and the world in
the most convincing manner the re-
citude of position Of this country.
This will affect the speeches being
prepared by Senator Stone, Senator
LaFollette and others on the Wis
consin's senator's resolution propos-
ing that this nation and the allies
make more definite announcement Of
possible peace terms.

ENCOURAGEMENT FOR
THE DRY FARMERS

To the Editor of The Republican,:
Dear Editor: Being a Kansasan
and accustomed to all kinds of hard
ships I would like to say a few words
to your good readers. We arrived
in Firth, Idaho, July %, and were
very much surprised at the improve
ment in the valley in the past four
years. I am very much impressed
with your country, especially the
dry farming district west of Black
foot. At this writing we are 21
miles west of Blackfoot with Mr..
John Belcher and family and to say
I am impressed is putting it mild" !"
When we see the crops that are just
being harvested. After the hardest
summer they have seen wheat is
from 5 to 20 bushels to the acre
and good quality. Corn, potatoes
beans and all garden crops are green
and looking fine, while in Kansas
they were dried up 80 days ago.
Now word to the boys who have
dared to brave the midst Of the sage
brush. We can see in the near fu-
ture bright and prosperous future
for all, who will put their shoulder
to the wheel and push with the vim
that all the boys have out here.
Stick to your dry farm and in few
years you will be living in a farm
ing country second to none.
Wishing you the prosperity you
justly deserve, l am
Yours truly,

PRETTY CLOSE JUDGMENT

When any one says that the cheap
est things sold in Blackfoot, or the
greatest values for the money are at
Skaggs' grocery, he may have to
make an exception of one thing that
matches them. A. e. Mccoy had 210
cherry trees loaded with fruit a
short time ago, and he didn't know
how he was going to turn so much
fresh, perishable fruit into money in
the short time he had for market
ing. He could manage the picking,
but where is the man who can run
all over the country to market them,
or who has the nerve to crate them
and ship them to some city and wait
for returns that might never come!
Well, Mr.. Mccoy did neither one.
He put an announcement in The
Idaho Republican, the paper that is
read in more than 80 per cent Of
the homes of Bingham county, and
from the time the announcement
went out, telling what he had and
where, people came stringing along
with the cash in their hands and
took them away as fast as he could
pick them. Received them right at
his door and passed the coin! Three
dollars worth of advertising placed
in the right paper sold cherry crop
that netted him $400.
If the best values in town are not
at Skaggs' Grocery, then try the ef-
fectiveness Of Republican advertis-
ing. We claim it is the best.

More Money for
the Beet Growers

SALT LAKE.-At a meeting oi
the board Of directors of the Utah
Idaho Sugar company, held at its of.
fees Thursday, it was unanimously
voted to offer the farmers profit
sharing contract for the season OF
1918.
The sugar company offers to pay
fiat rate of 81 per ton for beets
to contain Is per cent sugar. 1t Is
estimated that this price yields the
farmer a profit of $3.50 per ton on
an average crop. Approximately two
and one-half bags of sugar are re-
covered from one ton of beets, and
as matter of equalizing the profit
of $3.50 per ton to the farmer on
his beets, the company will retain
from its net earnings 81 per bag on
its production of sugar.
After such deduction is made, the
sugar company will divide on an
equal basis the balance of the net
earnings. This will mean that IL the
difference between the actual cost OF
production and the selling price OF
sugar is $3.50 per bag, after deduct
ing 81 per bag, there will remain
$3.50 per bag to be divided equally
rs cents to each, between the sugar
company and the grower.
