BREAKING DOWN OF
NEWSPAPERS

The death-blow has just been dealt
to hundreds of newspapers in the
United States in placing new re-
strictions on the use Of print paper.
Another blow is about to be dealt
in the registration of thousands, of
printers and pressmen for the new
draft when the printing industry is
already sifted of its men to the
cracking point.
But the printing business is no bet
ter than other Industries, and seeks
no exemptions not accorded to
others. 1t requires specially trained
persons to operate printing house,
and they cannot be taught in a month
or six months as in many other in
dustries. The labor supply for print.
ing and publishing is already in q
panicky condition, and with the next
call to arms, many shops will simply
be closed and forgotten. Simultane-
ously with that the great pinch in
the paper supply will afford second
handicap, and people will find less
current reading matter than the pre-
sent generation has ever witnessed.
Heretofore, newspapers have beer
so abundant they became almost 9
nuisance. and now we shall see the
other extreme ushered in. People
desiring to subscribe for newspaper
they have not been taking will make
application and get on the list II
they can, for when each office has
listed what it is allowed to furnish
they can not take on any new ones
unless they first drop an equal mum
Der of old ones. A newspaper thai
has had only enough business tc
make expenses, knows now that fol
the rest of the war it cannot hope tt
do any better because the limit of its
volume of business has been fixed
and 1t cannot be increased because
there will only be so many sheets Of
paper allowed to it, and there 1t mus
stop.

OBJECTS TO EARLY CLOSING.

w. E. Barnett, a farmer living in
the Shelley country, writes to say
that he does not like having the
stores close at six O'Clock. 1t suits
him better to do his days work on
the farm and then go to the stores
after supper to buy his goods. He
can't arrange any other way that is
satisfactory in the busy season, and
he doesn't believe it is economizing
manpower to close stores at six.
Mr.. Barnett says he has worked in
stores and on farms SO he knows both
ends Of the game, and states that
If he were selling goods across the
counter he would not kick at wait
ing on people at any time they chose
to buy. He thinks the man who first
suggested this program was dead
wrong. 1t might work all right for
town folks who want to work in
their gardens after the heat of the
day is over, but If the towns are con-
Quoting business for country trade
they ought to accommodate the
country people and not block their
undertakings.
Mr.. Barnett says that If there is
any charge for publishing his mes
sage, he will pay it. He is a good
sport and we want him to have his
say. We wish more people would
write us what they think. AS we
have said before, we publish any
respectful communication on any
matter of interest to the public or
part of the public, and there is no
charge.

THE COUNTY GAINS BY
PRIVATE sacrifice

A business change is now under
way in this county by which many
people thru the county gain some
thing at the loss of individuals and 1t
depends on circumstances whether or
not there shall be a net loss or
whether there shall merely be a
change of ownership.
We refer to the closing out of the
big stock of pure bred birds at the
Morningside poultry farm east of
town. Fehnel and Kirchner have
worked for four years to develop
their sotck of pure bred fowls to
the number of about $50 suitable for
breeding, and the year that they got
the business on paying basis the
call to arms makes it seem impera-
tive to close out the stock and aban-
don the enterprise. CA
A hen worth $40 for breeding pur-
poses, may be sold now for only half
that much in this forced sale, and in
that event, the selling firm may lose
more than the purchaser gains be-
cause of the fact that at the poultry
farm they may be so situated that
they can more readily get full values
from the hen. If the purchaser
should buy the pure bred hen for
immediate table use, then she might
be worth only 81 to him, and the
seller would lose 50.
But the people of this county know
enough of the disadvantages OF rails
ing scrub stock to- appreciate the
value of the pure creatures of any
kind. Persons wishing to get started
off right in pure breeds, If they have
scrubs around, had better make a
cleanup and get rid of the scrubs
at one stroke and take on the better
stock.
To the man who asks what are the
advantages of having pure bred hens
merely for laying eggs, we answer
that the average scrub hen lays less
than 100 eggs year, and those at
Morningside range from $50 to 25S
eggs a year, and they do not eat any
more. If raised for table use, the
pure bred chick grows to given size
in less time and consequently on less
feed than the scrub.

PEOPLE ARE
.-.-.ARNING.

People in Bingham county, and
especially at the county seat seem to
be learning that 1t is we'll to use more
horse sense and less scandal-stuff
In their elections. The time was,
when many people, and especially
those over-anxious to do something
for humanity or to satisfy their
ideals of up-lift, would go about and
drink In all the rotten scandal stuff
that anybody chose to tell about
candidates, and then go out trying
to carry elections with it. But vot-
efs have learned that the rottenness
reported is chiefly in the minds of
the persons circulating it, and they
are showing signs Of that good old
horse sense that prompts them to
vote for those who are being scan
dalized. The theory is that it is a
pretty good character that cannot
be downed by fair means, so the only
thing left is to make the scandal
attack, and when a man Is stabbed
by that kind of stuff 1t leaves the
impression that his enemies are very
small people and voters vote for him.
hat is the best medicine ever fed
to scandal-mongers aside from vio-
lence, and If people continue that
attitude, scandal lovers will naturally
adopt the approved attitude of hold
ing their peace. When they cease
to talk it, they cease to do any harm,
and the disease of scandalism Is at
an end. Now that the election is
over and some of the men who were
the most abused by the babel Of
tongues have won the race, perhaps
those that talk too much and too
rotten will find better things to talk
about. We hear that there Is little
of this kind of stuff allowed at the
places where people assemble to
work for the soldiers, but it seems
unbelievable.
The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1918-09-06
A CUSTOM THAT IS
FORGOTTEN.

Up to a few years ago an election
was day of drinking and rough
stuff. Many people accepted it az
a necessary evil, and discouraged any
efforts to change conditions. Election
returns and SOLDERING off, came and
went, after the voting.
Last Tuesday saw the battle Of
ballots once more, and there was not
only no drinking in sight, but it il
doubtful if any considerable number
of people even thought of liquor OF
drunkenness. Blackfoot has two
jails, and one of them is just about
obsolete. The other has occupants
at times, but is usually empty. We
have yet to hear of a case of drunk
enness in the county or a single
arrest for anything on election day
A few years ago good many PEG.
pie were saying that drinking was
one of the necessary evils. Grant
ing that this be true, it seems that
there are certain necessary evils that
can stand adjourned at times, and
it is not altogether out of place to
inquire if there might not be others.

vantages and savings accruing from
