The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1917-07-20

This issue of The Republican COM
pletes the thirteenth year of its pub
LEGATION. The first isse was publish
ed on the twenty-second of July,
1904, and its founder confidently ex-
pected to be able to put the SUBJ
scription list past the thousand-mark
in three months. In this there was
a disappointment in store, for it took
that long to get the first hundred
paid subscribers, and it took more
than ten years to get it substantially
above the thousand-mark. But even
that was as much as any other local
publisher succeeded in doing, and in
the experience of The Republican,
the old saying has been proven, that
1t takes ten years to get a snewspaper
on it's feet.
Publishing a newspaper is an
easy, thankless task If one takes the
line of least resistance, and a siren
uous job if it's policy is aggressive.
Looking back over the brief career
of The Republican to see what has
contributed most to it's troubles and
its success, the publisher easily sets
forth one statement of four words
that covers it all, "Unselfish service
for Others"
If The Republican has had any
notable successes in thirteen years
they are easily traceable to some
thing done that was really donated
at the time, and which proved to be
like bread cast upon the waters.
Unhappily the same four words re-
garding unselflsh service In the in
terest Of others seems to have acted
as the monkey wrench in the gear
ing" that threatened to tear the ma
chine asinder.
Steady plodding from day to day
and especially in the early morning,
is recommended as the best key to
success, but in retrospect one is apt
to look at the high points in the
struggle and adopt formulas from
them.

DAMAGE TO THE FRUIT CROPS

Thousands of dollars damage was
done on Tuesday and Wednesday

the state for several days previous and
on Tuesday to show what can be done
when we want to turn on the real
arctic weather lin the good old sum-
mer time" or near it, there was quite
snow storm, this was followed
by biting breeze from the
north, and it certainly did its blight
ing work we'll and effectually. There
was considerable damage done here
in destroying the plum crop and there
was considerable garden truck and
strawberries injured. The season was
not so far advanced here as further
south. In Milwaukee county damage
was very great, and down at Sparta
and Tomah much damage was done.
Down there tomato and cabbage plants
had been set out and they were dam
aged. Plants of that kind have to be re-
planted. The season is very late here
and few more cold spells and the food
situation will be something over which
to worry. II was the coldest weather
had at this time of the year for about
twenty years.

VERY IMPORTANT
Marathon County Council Of Defense
Sends Out Circulars on Regis
tering ON May 5th.

The Marathon County Council of De-
fense has been very active in spreading
the information throughout the coun-
ty of the military registration on June
5th. On May 25 the council sent out
the following circulars to school
boards of the county and similar one
to the ministers of the county:
To the School Boards in Marathon Co. :
Gentlemen: The Marathon County
Council of Defense is doing what it can
to make sure that all residents of the
county may become advised of the reg
istration regulations prescribed by the
president under the authority of the
act of congress approved May Is,
1917. q
The fact of prime Importance that
needs to receive due publicity is that
all male persons who have passed
their 21st birthday, but who have not
I passed their 31st birthday, must pre-
sent themselves at their regular poll
ing places for registration some time
between the hours of a. m. and 8 p.
M, on June 5th.
w lO, Ou dCGOulL VI SlNh-
ness, are unable to present themselves
for registration on the day set by the
president will cause some competent
person to apply to the county or city
clerk for copy of the card and for
authority to fill it out (ncluding the
registrars report on the back thereby
If satisfied that the case is bona fide,
the clerk will deputize the person ap-
plying for the card to make out the
card and the registrars report, first
carefully explaining the card. The
card will then be mailed by the sick
person, or delivered by his agent, to
the registrar of the sick persons vot-
ing precinct as described for cards for
absentees. The sick person will en-
close a self-addressed, stamped envel-
ope for a registration certificate"
Emphasis is laid on the fact that
there are no exemptions from registra-
tion for those men falling within the
fixed age limits and a failure to regis
ter is punishable by imprisonment
The Council urges that you assist
in disseminating information regard
ing these registration regulations by
posting notices for a mass meeting
at your school house at which meet
ing you will make arrangements to get
word to every man within the speci-
fed age limits, to register on June
5th without fail Without your CO.
operation in this work, some young
man may fail to register through lack
of information and suffer imprison-
ment. Let us see to it that not one
arrest is made in Marathon County
Respectfully sublaitted,
Marathon County Council of Defense.

ANOTHER SCHOOL YEAR NEARING
CLOSING

Another school year has just about
been completed. The public schools
close Friday, June 8th. The teachers
and students are all rejoicing over the
three months vacation ahead of them.
OF course, there are some school chill
dren interested just now in what posi-
tion the "stiff' examinations will put
them, and have little time to think
of vacation days.
The majority of Wausau's teaching
force live out of town, which means
that we are going to lose large
number of young people, but it is
gratifying to know that goodly num-
Der have signed contracts to come
back for the coming year, which means
Wausau residents can look forward to
their return. There are also a num-
Der of out of town students attending
the Wausau schools, and the city re-
grets their departure.
The population will grow again with
the return of Wausau young people,
who are attending universities, col
| leges and normals all over the United
States, also people of this city teach
ing in other places. These people
are expected home at different times
the coming month, and before the
close of June all will be enjoying de-
I
| lightful times in their homes here.
Many of Wausaus young men, who
have been attending schools away
from here or who have been teaching
away from home. are if at the required
age, compelled to serve their country
which they are looking forward tc
with much interest.
During the vacation months the
public schools will be renovated an6
put in excellent condition for the
opening of school again in September

substantial food. This is hard work;
we get up at Sis a. m, and recite un-
til 4:90 p. M. and then take a rest
until $50. From 700 we study un-
til 10 o'clock. So we have one hour a
