SUCCESSFUL MAN !
OPENS NEW STORE
George M. Jorgensen Purchased
Meat and Grocer Store From
Jensen of Aberdeen
YOUNG JoRGENsEN TO OPERATE

The Jorgenson & Co, of Blackfoot
has purchased the Aberdeen meat
and grocery store to operate it in
connection with the Blackfoot house.
The new place, bought from A. P.
Jensen, is being remodeled and
filled with larger stock. 1t will be
managed locally by Carl Jorgenson,
groceries and Charles L. Paige,
meats. Young Jorgenson will be a..
ssited by Miss Marie Behring, who
has been with the store in B.ackfoot
for some time. The store will be
opened for business Monday.
George M. Jorgenson came to
Blackfoot in the spring of 1915,
made his decision, and in December
Of that year he opened up grocery
store in the new Hopkins building.
He didn't have much then besides
experience. He had re-organized a
dozen or more grocery stores, made
them pay, and sold them, down in
Utah.
The steady growth of Mr.. Jorgen-
sons business in Blackfoot shows
proof Of the value of efficient
methods and advertising.

thing like eight hours, and never
once did the attorney twist him up
or show the jury that he was not
competent to handle his own business
without a guardian. -
Mr.. Lindsay accumulated = for
tune in the Snake river valley years
ago. In 1909 and 1910 he was a
wealthy man. But for a period Of
years prior to 1918 he neglected
property he had in Seattle, and fin
ally one year ago he was pronounced
incompetent and a guardian ap-
pointed. The trial was without a
jury, and since that time he has been
trying to throw off the guardian who
'shackled his hands" as he said.
The Lindsay property is estimated
to be worth more than $150,O00.
Attorney Chambers, who came
here from Seattle to represent Mr..
Collins, the guardian, was thoro and
persistent in his examination, and
sought in every way to make Lind

CHAUTAUQUA MEN
MEET THURSDAY
Guaranat'ors to Meet in City Hall to
Arrange for Sale of Tickets
and Advertising
PRICE SET FOR SEASON TICKETS

There will be meeting of the
guarantors of the June chautauqua
at the Idaho Republican office
this Thursday evening at 8 o'clock
to organize for the work Of
selling the season tickets and
advertising the chautauqua which
will be in Blackfoot from June 25
to July 1, inclusive. There are
about fifty guarantors and it is urged
that as many as can be present.
The representative Of the chautau-
qua, A. j. Haskell, will be here on
Friday, today, to meet with.the COM
mittee of guarantors to act upon the
plans made by the meeting and to do
their part in carrying them into
effect.
The Season tickets this year will
sell for $2.25, the~~price of an ad-
mission ticket to one of the best en-
tertainments of the course. WAC
ever is assigned the task of selling
the Season tickets should meet with
ready response from people. Every
body is so busy it is a hardship for
any one to take time and go and at
tend to these sales and they should
not have to do any talking, but
merely offer the tickets and get sales
from all who can attend.
It is only by united effort in this
way that the community can secure
these higher class entertainments for
so little money. When any one
comes to you and offers to sell you
a chautauqua ticket, don't think for
a minute that you are doing them a
favor to buy ticket or bunch Of
tickets. It is a favor for you when
an opportunity is brought to you to
buy. Take it while the taking is
good.

Demonstration Of Ludlow Typograph, Miller Saw
and Model Fourteen Linotype Converted
All to Favor Labor Saving Machines
INCIDENTS OCCURRED TO SHOW EVEN
MOST MINOR THINGS WERE OBSERVED
Many Vouched More Had Been Learned in a
Day About Efficient Newspaper Opera
ton Than in the Past Twenty Years
Incidents o fthe Convention

Forty visiting editors and print
ing-trades men at the BlackfOot
meeting last Saturday attended the
demonstrations of the Ludlow typo
graph, the model IA linotype and
the Miller saw, taking turns watch
ing the achievements of the machines
and examining what they all agreed
was the cleanest, neatest and best
arranged country newspaper office
they had ever seen.
The arrangement of all the ma
chimes and furniture and the relation
of each piece to other pieces or ma
chimes related to it in the work was
studied and commented on as being
SO efficient that they could not sug-
gest any change that would increase
the convenience or the production.
Nearly all the publishers helped
themselves to the printed floor plans
that were furnished, and some of
them took measurements of special
parts of the building they were in
terested in One man who publishes
a journal for newspaper men asked
to have 4 sl,ecial floor plan drawn
for him to publish, showing the loca-
tion of each piece of machinery and
furniture. This work is being done
by our foreman, Mr.. Lantis and will
be published later for the benefit of
publishers.
Many of the publishers commented
on the fact that there were more
people working in the offices than in
the mechanical room; or as the
printing house people put it-more
help engaged in the front office than
in the back office. In the average
Snall-town newspaper office there
are couple of people working in,
the front office and four or five in
the Lack office doing the mechanical
work. In The Republican office
there are four people engaged in
front office work and three in the
back, and the editors wanted to
know the why of it. 1t is generally
considered that the people doing the
mechanical work really earn or make
all that is made by the firm, and the
front office people are considered
necessary evil whose Wages have to
be paid out of the production of
those at the rear. They said the con-
dition here looked top-Eeavy in front
and they kept asking how the busi-
ness stands the expense OF all the
front office help ,or how che rear
Office help can make the living to
support the others.

and with so little confusion and with

On press day the forms did not show
much signs Of being built in until the

they would 60 together quickly and

the system and had reached the CON
clusiOn that it was due to efficiency
in the following details:
Done in Right Way
When business is brought into the
office 1t is received by the lady in
the business office and recorded. A
work-sheet is made in duplicate

about 1t. He does not lose any time

OF having the customer go into the

How Employees Staked
The Republican Editor

Last Tuesday morning when the
editor Of the Idaho Republican was
called upon to finish paying for the
new Ludlow typograph just installed
in the office the bill read $500 and
there was only about $500 left in the
treasury.
All Of the employees had some
money in the banks and they came
to the rescue with $3.50, which also
broke all the employees. But the
amount was sufficient to enable the
office to get the cash discount on the
whole bill, and after passing the
checks and posting the books the
crew went to work again as did Fin
agin, when he was on again.

ROAD BUILDING
; BEGINS in COUNTY
Commissioners Working
Services Of Expert
Engineer Secured
BOND SALE JUNE 2

The county commissioners have
been in session a couple of days this
week, making arrangements for
starting construction work on the
roads. The bond sale will be held
Monday the second of June.
The board have secured the SER
ivces of w. G. Stone, practical sup
erintendent of road building, to have
general supervision of plans and
work thruout the county, and he has
been on the job for the past two
weeks. Mr.. Stone will live in Black
foot and his services have been en-
gagged by the year at cost Of about
$3.50 month.
The commissioners have purchased
a gravel tract in the Augustine farm
west of Snake river bridge, and the
first work done will be on the road
leading from the bridge west thru
Riverside, the precinct that voted
100 per cent for bonds.
Another gravel tract has been
bought in Thomas, the big precinct
that polled large vote with only
twelve votes against the bonds. The
gravel tract is at the big hill near
the Evans and Peterson farms. They
are looking for another tract in
Thomas along the line Of the beet
spur, where cars can be loaded for
shipment into the Springfield-Aber-
deem country, precincts where they
voted strong for the bonds and have
no gravel close to the line Of roads
to be built.
The rock crusher and bunker be-
longing to the county. were moved
this week to the Augustine farm.
Persons having teams they wish to
put to work during the season Of ir-
rigation, can find market for their
services with the county govern
ment. We are not informed as to
who will have charge of the team
work, but Information can be OBJ
tanned by ringing w C. Stone at the
Eccles hotel when he is in for the
night. He is probably out in the
country most of the time during the
day.

TAKES OFF DANDRUFF,
HAIR STOPS FALLING
Save Your Hair! Get a Small Bottle
of Danderine Right Now
Also Stops Itching Scalp.

Thin, brittle, colorless and scrag-
gy hair is mute evidence of neglect
ed scalp; of dandruff-that awful
scurf.
There is nothing SO destructive to
the hair as dandruff 1t robs the
hair of its lustre, it's strength and
its very life; eventually producing a
feverishness and itching of the scalp,
which if not remedied causes r.
hair roots to shrink, loosen and die
then the hair falls out fast. A
little Danderine to-night-now-an
time-Will surely save your hair.
Get small bottle OF Knowlton's
Danderine from any drug store You
surely can have beautiful hair and
lots of it if you will just try little
Danderine. Save your HAIR! Try
it!-AdV. 2
