Model Print ShOp-The TIMES ac-
knowledges its pleasure in receipt of
a tastefully printed pamphlet specially
devoted to exploiting the new home of
the "Idhao Republican" at Blackfoot,
this state, of which the editor and pro-
prietor, Mr.. Byrd Trego, is manifestly,
and justly, very proud. The new
building, constructed like the new
quarters of the TIMES, especially for
the purpose. appears very attractive
and is. no doubt, equally convenient.
In a two-page ground plan of the
interior, not only is the exact position
of everybody from editor to stenog-
rapher, and of everything from the
safe to the mail pouches, accurately
marked; but a line of quilts shows the
route taken by the brain product from
the editor through linotype, press and
folder to the mail pouches, and a line
of dollar marks running from the
counter registers the march of fl
nance. Apropos to the latter, one who
is also in the newspaper business is
nearly paralyzed to note that the
route of the dollar begins at the front
door and ends at the same place, with
out single dollar coming anywhere
near the fine, large safei

next Tuesday, the polls being open
from 2:3O until 4:3O. The Australian
ballot system will be used. One may
vote either ticket straight or may
change back and forth as often as is
desired. AS there is to be no pro-
gramme and no business meeting, it
will take only few minutes to come
to the polls and vote, and it is hoped
that the entire club will do this, so
that the officers elected may feel that
they have been chosen by the major
ity of the club as a whole. Mrs. Nc
Roberts announced that there would
be a patriotic meeting at the high
school on Monday evening in the in
terest of the Red Cross.

My Mother. Dear:

My Mother Dear:
Maybe YOU think we have neglected Baby
Betty's photographs for we have written
you so much about Emily's and Ted s pic
lures that we had made at THE BlSBEE STUDIO
OF course Baby Betty was in several of the
groups; you will say one Of them is too
pretty TO be true when YOU see it.
In front of one of the fire places, Mrs
Bisbee spread Baby Betty's big soft car
riage bag on the rug and when we put Baby
Betty down on it she soon was cooling in her
happiest manner She tried to tell us all
about the cracking, glowing fire and the
shining brass screen and how warm and
comfortable a place it was for a four
month sold baby to be. And, as usual, it
was only a minute until Emily and Ted
were on their knees beside her with the
adoring expressions they always have when
they play with Baby-and then, before |
knew it, the picture was made.
1t certainly pleascs us but, upon second
consideration, it did seem that we should
have some pictures of Baby alone. So | took
her down to The Bisbee Studio just after her
nap this morning and we are to see the
proofs tomorrow.
Photographs are not luxury but a real
necessity when one has baby like Betty.
You can't believe how she has changed in
the few weeks since YOU saw her last.
Write soon to
Your far-a-way Ruth

Guards on Miner Dam

Vuarus on MINER Dam-Ihe Miner
dam is being guarded effectually
against any possible attack of a pub
lie enemy or a fanatic. The railroads
have taken every precaution to guard
their lines and bridges against SINH
lar attacks. A number of members of
the military companies here and at
Bull were employed by the Oregon
Short Line to guard their bridges, but
this fact was regarded as confidential
until after the return of the boys on
the call of the president and their sub
stitution by other guards The rea-
son for the guarding of dams in par
ticular lies in the fact that in case
of prolonged war, should there be a
short crop throughout the country in
general, the blowing up of irrigation
dams might create a real shortage and
suffering throughout the nation.

Alleges Wrong Application THE In

terror Realty and Investment company,
a corporation, has filed a suit against
the City of Twin Falls for $14,330 al
legged to be due on bonds. There is no
question about most of the amount,
the legal status of only a portion be-
ing doubtful. The issue in the suit is
in regard to money due on special i'm
provement bonds of the city, issued
for paving years ago. Through an err
ror, where owners of property against
which taxes for the payment of spec
ial improvements failed to pay. the
city, instead of prorating the money ac-
tually received from the special as
sessments, made up the balance out of
the general fund. The total amount
said to have been so misapplied
amounted to $3,524.2O. Plaintiff
claims that this money so misapplied
should have been paid o nits claim
and sues for this and for the amounts
admitted to be owed by the city as
well for certain small sums which
are in dispute.
