the work has to be done by a
specially trained person, and when a
publisher goes out looking for some
body for certain work, only one per-
son in perhaps 10000 knows how to
do it, and 1t takes years to learn it.
The government does not operate
schools or universities to teach news
paper work as it does farming,
stockraising or aircraft. All of that
burden rests with the employers en-
gagged in the business, and the war
has thinned out such workers until
there is such a dearth as never has
been known before in this genera
ton. The invention of special ma
chimes to do the hand work has cut
down the number of persons en-
ployed in the trade, until the loss of
one now means as much in tying up
the industry as the loss of several
did in the past years. The losses to
the industry from war and influenza
are demonstrating this fact every
day as the pinch tightens and the
calls for men in the suffering print
ing house circles becomes more pro-
nounced.

WE THANK THE RETIRING
COMMISSIONERS

The retiring county commissioners
have probably made their share of
mistakes in office, but the Republican
wishes to offer especial commenda-
ton for one thing they did, which in
our estimation is monumental in It's
importance, the opening of Broadway
straight thru to the Pocatello road.
We are aware that they have been
much criticised by people who do not
approve of the job, but we believe
that each succeeding season will pile
up new gratitude over this matter.
The road was closed some ten
wears ago, and there was only one
man in the county who protested
against it. DR.. Patrie appeared be-
fore the board at that time and OBJ
iected, but he was over-ruled. Then
followed years of demonstration that
it was a blunder. Interstate travel
and national park travel have become
large factor here, and here was
piece of road mile long that was
so full of turns that strangers lost
enough time to go great distance
for only the residents who knew the
way could get thru without getting
off the road. 1t was a great 1ncon-
venience to travel and was a disgrace
to the town and>county. We nave
enough disgraces still, but the Wis
dom of removing this one will loom
larger each year as the tourist and
other travel increases.
It may be said that 1t cost money
to open the road, but any reasonable
expense suffered for removing FENCES
and trees and rebuilding some little
bitches count for nothing as COM
pared with the substantial buildings
that would have been in the way
few years later, and the straighten-
ing Of the road was inevitable sooner
or later.
We are glad the board acted. we
are going to keep on being giad.
Whenever we observe something
which the board made mistake with
we set the Broadway extension over
against it and forgive them. Long
live the board, and long live Broad
way. 1t will be there, level and
straight and lined with trees when
we are all planted. We hope to line
it a foot deep with Goshen gravel
early in the graXeling game.

Legislature in
Session Once Again
Everything Looks Bright and Things
Running in Business
like Manner

BOISE, Jan. S.-With the swear.
ing in of the new state officials on
Monday the fifteenth session of the
Legislature was also born.
For at least five days before the
opening of the session the usual ef-
forts to land jobs for consistents
and also take part in the organization
work were put forth by members who
were aggressive and know the "roes. "
But with this difference-there
was harmony in every move. 1t was
sort of you first my dear Alphonso'
spirit that Immediately struck the
onlooker. Old time politicians
and there were many of them here
forgot the sore spots the past had
developed and everywhere one could
see the effort put forth to have this
legislature start with good-feeling
among its members.
One democrat from the north"
who had had experience as one of
the engineers of the old regime
aptly put his program in words
which would do well in describine
the evident feeling of majority
of the party in power, when he said.
II am for good roads; good schools
and bigger Idaho"
And then the seemingly impossible
happened. The democrat floor leader
of the fourteenth session, former
Adjutant General Moodey voiced the
sentiment of the minority when he
seconded the nomination of the Re-
publican choice for speaker, M. A..
Kiger.
People accustomed to seeing leg =.
islatures at work believe that the
present body represents high type
of men. The caucuses held during
the days proceeding the sessions
were marked by business-like speed
and efficiency. There was little of
the usually present "log-rolling" and
action on motions was as clear cut as
tho the men were directors in bust
ness enterprise.
The usual grist of bills is looked
for, but committee work will of
course weed out hundreds Of unde
sirable peices of legislation that the
legislative bodies cannot spend their
valuable time on during the session.
IL is certain that there will be
radical change in the primary law of
the state and indications are it will
he changed to make the delegates to
the state convention elective by the
people Of their counties, while the
county tickets will be placed in nom
lnation as they are at present.

Chance to Obtain
Pure Bred Stock
Animals Consigned From Leading
Pure Bred Herds
Of State

In connection with the state swine
growers meeting to be held at Twin
Falls during the state seed show,
and sows consigned from the leading
pur herds of the state. No breeder
has been permitted to place more
than two animals in the sale and
those selected have been personally
inspected by me and are very choice
animals. The breeders are holding
this sale for the purpose of getting
into the hands of the farmers choice
animals of the types the breeders
are trying to breed in this state.
No breeder contributing to a sale
of this kind could afford to consign
any but very choice animals and
there has never been gathered to-
gether a better representative ex-
hibit of hogs in the state than will
be found in this sale. In most cases
the breeders have sacrificed their
best animals raised this year and
were intending to keep them in their
own herds.
A large number of Duroc Jersey
breeders have made consignments to
this sale and the impression has
been made that this is Duroc Jer-
sey sale. But it is not. Every breed
has had chance to be Represented
and the Duroc Jersey, Poland China,
Tamworth, Chester White and Hamp-
shires are represented with two or
more animals.
Most of the consignments are gifts,
thus saving expense to purchaser
that lives away from Twin Falls.
Some of these gifts have been prize
winners at the Idaho State Fair and
Utah State Fair and are descended
from champions and grand champ
ions of these fairs. They have been
bred to some of the leading boars of
the state. Several of which have
been brought to the state this year
from prominent eastern herds and
represent the most popular blood
lines.
These gifts and sows should bring
good prices and those interested in
getting start in pure bred hogs
should attend the sale and swine
meetings. If possible for you to at
tend you can write to me or to Jesse
S. Richards, manager of the sale, in
care of the county farm bureau,
Twin Falls, enclosing check for
purchase, stating the breed you wish
and we will buy the best we can.
Don't be too close with the amount
of the check as there will be an OPP
portunity to get choice animals.

State Swine Specialist.

STOLE THE NICKEL
STOLE THE TOILET

A thief or thieves entered the new
house of B. S. Wright on the even
ing of December % and stole toilet
bowl, trap and fixtures. He stole
the wash bowl and the nickel trim
mings. He stole the forty-gallon hot
water tank and trimmings. He
stole the trimmings and fixtures
from the bath tub but did not get
the tub. tie stole the nickel hangers
from the wall where they had been
placed to hold towels and wash
cloth. He evidently picked the lock
or got pass key to enter the house,
and he did it during the evening at
the time when honest people were
going home and going to bed.
1t is said that thief or criminal
always leaves something undone or
uncovered or strung around by which
honest men can identify him if they
will but piece the evidence together
as they find it. This party turned
on the electric lights and worked
at the job of disconnecting the fix
lures from the walls and pipes. He
made pretty fair target for people
looking thru the windows.
A peculiar feature of the theft
was that all these things but the
nickel were lying around in the
crates outside of the budding for
about a month before being installed
and he could have gotten the bath
tub too if he had gone for them then.
But he would have missed getting
the nickel parts if he had stolen
them then. He waited until he could
get the nickel. He understood
quite we'll for he did
neat job Of disconnecting everything,
He stole the nickel. He stole the
toilet. We hope to tell who he is at
a later date and we want to print
his picture too.

NOT HERE NOW BUT
COVER THERE"

There are not many shows and en-
tertainments in America now. There
are not many entertainers and sing
ers coming and going. We do not
see them. We do not hear them.
We may or may not miss them, but
if we do miss them We can be glad
to do without them, for they are
lover there" entertaining the men
who are separated from home and
friends.
These entertainers, great or small,
famous and less famed, are going
from camp to camp and from hut to
hut all up and down the armed camps
of Europe giving as many entertain
ments per day and per evening as
they are able. The money you put
UP in the several war drives is being
spent to furnish food and travelling
expenses and equipment for them to
work with, and they are busy with a
world of men. These men are keen
and hungry for music, for lectures,
for jokes and humOr, for movies
and all the other good things that
come from the good old U. s. A. to
cheer, to instruct and to remind them
that the home fires are burning for
them, and burning where it hits the
spot and satisfies.
AS we sit by our stoves at home
these evenings, thinking of other
winters when we had more diversion
who is there that is not made glad
by the memory of putting up his
money for them, and glad to stay at
home knowing that some of the boys
in the huts and camps are receiving
the attention of the entertainers over
there!

Good Help for News
papers Hard to Find
Industry Crippled Unawares. Skilled
Men in Greater Demand. Fancy
Prices Offered in Vain

The Arco Advertiser is one of the
most prosperous local papers in the
state, and the owner sold out last
summer to go into the army. His
successor in the office management
was well educated man, and had
the assistance of an ambitious and
Industrious wife who was also we'll
educated and accustomed to active
work for the public. They have con-
Quoted the paper about six months
now, and are complaining of the
heavy nervous strain of looking after
the mechanical work and having the
task of getting out just so many
pages of matter every week whether
very loyal community, or set of COM
munities, and people seem willing
to pour their money into the news
paper channels if only somebody who
knows how will embrace the task
of producing the newspaper. Former
editor Bottolfsen hopes to get re-
leased from the army and buy the
paper back.
The difficulty of finding men who
can do the mechanical work and
estimate the cost of job work SO as
to tell the customer the probable cost
in advance of doing it, is getting to
be more and more difficult. 1t takes
many years to develop such a man,
and there are so many positions wait
ing for them the scarcity is driving
many newspapers to the wall. There
are certain known channels thru
which search can be made most eff
fectively for skilled help for country
newspapers and few can be found.
All last spring and summer this Of
flee was trying to find such help, and
without success. At one time we put
out 100 calls thru the best sources
we know and offered as high as $50
a week and received only few re-
sponses, some being unworthy of
acceptance at any Erice
For the past two years we have
solicitor who could ALSO
write up the valuable news matter
as he found it, but the nearest we
came to it in two years was to find
one man who could succeed at Sc
curing subscriptions, but was not
good at the other part of the work.
1t cost over $40 a week for his salary
and expenses and another firm took
him away from us by paying more.
We have tried several others who
were not successful at all, and are
still looking for a man with as little
prospect of finding one as before. We
are also looking for an advertising
man, and they are harder to find
than solicitors or printers and bust
ness managers.
One great trouble with the news
paper business is that each part of

many of Idaho's projects and expan-
sive areas of land susceptible to ir-
rlgation. The purpose of the con-
gress will be to devise some means
of securing more efficient use of
the states water resources, in order
to make water available for the re-
clamatiOn of greater area of land.
Authorities on irrigation matters
will address the congress on various
phases of irrigation, and after such
address a discussion will be invited
in order to get the viewpoint of
actual water-users, irrigation COM
pany officials, irrigation engineers
and others interested.
Farm Convention Jan. 1916
Cash prizes in the amount of $500
have been provided for the best seed
exhibits at the state seed show, to
be held in Twin Falls the week COM
mencing January Is, in connection
with the joint conference of agricul-
tural livestock, engineering and ir-
rigation societies of the state.
Idaho is known turnout the world
as the greatest of clover seed produc-
ing sections. Its extensive reputa-
ton need not be limited to clover
seed as it has been found that it's
soil and climate is admirably suited
to the production of a high class seed
wheat and seed potatoes.
The seed possibilities Of the state,
as we'll as the protection of its in
terests will be lively Sopic of dis
cussion at the seed show, which will
be attended by seed men of nation
wide reputation, who will address
the convention.

loan mentioned. Under the circum-
stances. the local agent not only did
not push Investigations but hurried
payment and by consent OF the man
suspicioned, held out the amount OF
the loan. An honest man who was
above suspicion could not have Scr
cured a more speedy settlement of o
valid claim for insurance.
Serves Idaho Right
The public sentiment has become
so tolerant of this class OF crimes
that we doubt whether 10 per cent
of the business men of the town
would join in q movement to punish
the worst known incendiary IL he
merely burned his property and
ieopardized the whole town, II he did
it to get the insurance. When q
whole town, or a whole state takes
this attitude, when people stand
around at fire and joke about the
fire being a good thing, and that 1t
will make room for better building
it is only natural that insurance COM
panies should raise the rates and
make the people pay for this class
of luxury. That is what the Utah
man says the insurance companies
are doing in Idaho, keeping the rates
high enough to harmonic with the
crlminality of the public in fire mat
terS.
