WHY DON'T YOU WRITE?

You are, not writing to many
soldiers over there or anywhere else.
You are too busy. But that doesn't
take off the longing the soldier feels
for letters from folks at home. If
you haven't time to write, the editor
will take time. But send the ad-
dresses of the boys in France or any
where in the service. The new regu-
lations do not allow sending the
newspaper, but everybody from Per-
shing down advises writing to the
boys, so write we will
If 1t is too much trouble to send
the address by mail, get the address

the reporters room at the Republi7
can office and just say, Here Is
an address for you," and read it into
the phone till the reporter can read
it back at you to see If it is copied
right and that soldier boy will re-
ceive two letters that we know Of.
We will publish his address, and lie
may receive flock of letters. They

The new bank. building is nearing

the metropolis. Then, all we need
is greater harmony and constructive
activity of all the business men.
The Mentor club which was to
have met with Mrs. L. F.. Ramsey

the abatement of the flu.
There is considerable discussion
relative to obtaining electric power

at this time, the hopes of the people
may at no distant date be realized.
Due to war conditions, it has been
difficult to obtain necessary mater

Business is thriving, but for the
lack of shipping facilities, everything
is moving slowly.

THE COMING BOND ELECTION

The City of Blackfoot will hold a
bond election on Tuesday the nine
teenth of November to vote upon the
question whether or not the city
shall issue and sell bonds for the
purchase of the existing water works
and for their improvement, the pro-
posed issue to be for $95,Q00.00 of
which $72,000.00 is to be paid to
the present owners for their title to
the system.
The system consists of several
deep wells, motors, pumps etc., sit
uated on a plat of ground near the
center of town. and pipe lines and
hydrants affording delivery of water
to parts Of the city. The water
mains vary in size from two inches
to six inches, and need to be re-
placed with larger ones as the needs
of the city grow beyond their capac-
ity. They need to be extended to
serve more people who must either
have that service or wells. s.

SHELLEY


Harold Woodward came home last
Tuesday from Logan, Utah on ten
day furlough.
Last Tuesday night snow fell for
some hours, and Wednesday morning
the ground was white. Last year
we did not have snow here until the
fifth or sixth of January.
The farmers who have been har-
vesting their beets, have been put
back few days in their work on ac-
count of snow and rain.
The influenza has not started on
the decline in Shelley yet, but in
stead many new cases are being re-
ported. There has been only one
death in Shelley from the flu that Of
Mrs. Frank Hiatt. The cases seem
to be much lighter because people
are now taking better care of them
selves when they have this disease.
A stranger at the sugar factory sue
cumbed to an attack Of the flu. The
people Of Shelley should consider
themselves lucky for not having con-
ditiOns more serious. The main
thing is to take care Of yourself
when you get this dreaded disease,
60 to bed when you feel i'll and call
the family physician.
Thomas Shelley was business
visitor to Idaho Falls last Wednes-
day.
L. Ivan Jensen was business
visitor in Blackfoot Wednesday.
The name of Chris Madsen. form
erly Shelley boy, appeared on Wed
nesday's casualty list as wounded,
degree undetermined. He is a
brother of Lyman Madsen, who has
resided in Shelley for several years
past. His many friends hope that
he is not seriously wounded.

GERMANS FEAR INVASION.
Expect That Allies Will Take Short
Cut Through Austria.

London.-In reporting the conditions
of the armistice laid down by the Ital-
ians to the Austrians, the German
wireless service of November added
this comment:
ut is assumed that the conditions
are not to be understood in such a way
that enemy armies might use the
freedom of movement for an attack on
Germany"
This assumption, it may be said, Is
contrary to the truth. The intention
of the allies is to use their freedom of
movement in Austria to further, at the
earliest possible moment, converglng
attack on Germany through Bavaria.
The towns of south Germany, such as
Munich, Dresden and Leipsic, will be
Immediately exposed to aerial attacks,
and Berlin is no great distance away
from the frontier.
There is no disposition to attempt
anticipating the intentions of Marshal
Foch, who has been appointed general
issimo for the purpose of co-ordlnat
ing an allied attack on Germany on
the new southern front, but it may be
pointed out that he will have at his
disposal not merely the Italian army
of 100000 men, but the British and
French forces in italy, the French,
British and Serbian forces in Serbia
and Macedonia and the British forces
released from Palestine and Mesopo-
tamia. A high military authority
points out various alternative routes
by which an attack might be directed.

FIRTH

Firth is still on the map. For the
benefit of persons who expect to
send Christmas packages from this
territory to their soldier boys who

gestions given out by the govern
ment:
Each man may receive from his
family a Christmas package The
American Red Cross, thru its local
chapter, will prepare the parcels and
supervise their mailing. Only one
parcel to each man may be sent, and
then only when the sender has re-
ceived from the soldier abroad a
Christmas parcel LABEL" which has
been issued to every one overseas.
Upon presentation of the label, ap-
plication will receive from the local
Red Cross chapter carton, or box
by by 9inches in size. Anything
not barred by post office regulations
may be sent in the carton. Weight
must not exceed two pounds fifteen
ounces. Red cross representatives
will inspect parcel and exclude ar
ticles barred by the post office de-
partment. No note or message may
be enclosed in parcel. Christmas
parcels must be mailed on OF before
November Is and must, to be &C
cepted, contain the label. No dupli-
cate labels are available( so be care

Mrs. Jean Hutchinson, president
of the Firth Red Cross chapter has
appointed as inspectors Mrs. Emma
D1h Wapn otto ond
Mrs. F. H. Kuicek. Application for
the cartons, would be made to Miss

delivery should be made to the
Firth post office, where the inspec-
tors will be ready upon day to be

list of articles barred may be OBJ

The flu has reached Firth. A. G..

several of the family and possibly
others not reported are or have been
afflicted, but all seem to be GONZALEZ

J. Ekedahl of Firth He had been
stationed at Camp Fremont and be-
came ill with pneumonia. Within
ten days he passed away and was
brought home for burial He was
only twenty-one years and eight
months at the time of his demise.
The sympathy fthe community is
extended to Mr.. and Mrs. Ekedahl
in their bereavment. Emil was we'll
liked by all who knew him, and it is
at least consoling to recall that he
died in the greatest service in mans
power--for his country.
Mr.. and Mrs O. S. Sartin have
rented rooms with Mr. and Mrs M.
D. Andrus. The home they had
formerly had to be occupied for the

PLANT
SELLS UNDER THE HAMMER

The New York Evening Mail has
been advertised to sell at auction to
the highest bidder. 1t has been los
ing $1,000 day for some time,
and is now in debt about three
quarters of million dollars.
Other Papers Quit
The Times published at Rom
ceverte, w. Va. tried to sell it's plant
and business, but as there were no
bidders at any price the publisher
simply locked it up and quit.
The Herald, published at Free
port, Mich, sold out recently and the
new owner kept it about three days
and turned it over to somebody else.
Reports do not show what the last
purchaser did with it.
The Tribune of Escalon, Cali. was
bought recently by a company Of
farmers. evidently thinking that
when experienced men could not
make a paper go, was a good time
for them to get experience. They
employed the former editor to run
it for them for while, and they are
furnishing the money and getting ex-
perience.
The publisher of the Republican
at West Union, w. Va, recently an
nounced that he had lost his best
printer by the lure of higher wages
and more agreeable work out Of
doors and that the other man was
liable to be called to go after his
quota of Germans at any time, and
that if this latter event should be-
fall his firm the newspaper would
thereafter ''dis-occur," since it has
become next to impossible to get new
help.
The Reporter published at White
water, Wis, has ceased to exist, but
it sold it's subscription list and good
will to contemporary near by.
A newspaper wishing to move it's
plant from one town to another will
not be allowed to do so during the
period of the war If there is already
one published in the town of des-
tinatiOn."
The Tribune and Democrat pub
lished at Juanita, Pa. were not max
ing any money and they combined.
They issued SO much better paper
together than before, and
saved so much expense that they are
on easy street already and the whole
country roundabout feels the adj
vantage of the change.
The Independent of Henry, s. D.,
has employed its competitor to print
the paper and thus saves the cost of
and operating the extra
plant.
The Sentinel at Onawa, Iowa, has
gone out Of business and sold its
plant.
The American Publishers associa-
ton, of Albany, N. Y is agitating to
get the government to regulate labor
and the price of labor and to- under
take to supply labor to run the news
papers. 1t is urged that newspapers
are as much entitled to such ser
vice from the government as any
other line Of endeavor, and while it
is teaching young people how to
farm and raise stock, it might be
training apprentices for newspapers.
The Commercial, daily of Ban
gor, Maine, has appealed to the gov
eminent to save his business from
