.ere and Dhere
BY Mrs. Byrd Trego

The YIN. C. A. is frantically put
ting out pamphlets and folders ad-
vertising the fact that the associa-
tion has been harmfully maligned.
This shows the truth of the theory
of advertising, that It gets read, and
has results. If the "Y" will just give
out enough Information about its
real accomplishments 1t will go far
toward Tending off prejudice, for It
did much for the soldiers that they
took for granted and soon forgot.
This wave Of censure that hit the
."Y" after peace opened our mouths
and loosed our pens commenced at
the front line trenches long time
ago. The men had grievances, but
in those days it was shocking to say
anything against the association that
had convinced the nation Of its own
great work, while collecting large
and necessary funds for that work.
4 The grievances were petty.
Scarcely any Of them but might have
been easily counteracted BY a
brotherly spirit of service on the part
of the ~" workers themselves.
There is where they were shy. That
is the point OF departure between the
promising greatness Of the associa-
ton and the threatened squelching
OF today on the dark horizon.

y Experience of Salt Lake
| Down at Salt Lake City a few days
ago, 8 per cent bonds amounting to
million and a half, sold for frac-
ton Of q cent above par, following
an ordinary majority vote in their
favor. Over at Twin Falls, following
a vote Of 97.5e per cent in favor of
the bonds, 5 " per cent bonds sold
at 1O3. Bingham county finances
are In good shape, the county is over
flowing with undeveloped resources
ready to yield to the touch of the
worker and the investor, and il we
shall record q vote Of about SO per
cent in favor of bonds, with the in
terest at, say, 5,h per cent, we might
go an eighth, Of a, cent better than
Twin Falls and sell ours at. 1O3.125
which would mean q premium of
$1S,750. That last one-eighth OF a
cent on the bid would mean $3.50
added to our pile Of money, and a
few votes added to an ordinary ma
jority would easily influence the
bids that much, the reason, being
that a nearly unanimous vote as
sures the bonding company that no
contest can arise over the election,
and a unanimous popular will re-
corded at the polls means q loyal
and responsible people who will pay
their debts cheerfully when due. On
such people. bonding companies
will bid higher than on any others,
and we might as we'll capitalize our
good name as anybody.
How We Would Advertise It |
If Bingham county should 60 over
the. top with, its bond issue to the
tune Of about SO per cent pure, with
several precincts pure, The, Idaho
Republican would publish an article
about it, and send marked copies
to every newspaper in the state with
the request that they print a para
graph about it. Marked copies
would also 60 out to bonding com
panies and manufacturers OF and
dealers in bodybuilding machinery,
and we should soon have a reputa-
ton in connection with that enter
prising valley that is pushing the
Dubois project and going after the
Dempsey boxing bout. All
these things help to make a county
famous, and famous locality at
tracts the fellows who have push,
pluck, brains and money.

A Friend or an Enemy

There is no halfway. place in this
bond business that is worth while.
The folks who have it in mind to
vote against the bonds for this, that
or the other reason or just to vent
their feelings, WELD a poisoned lead
pencil when they mark their ballots
"a pencil that knocks the values
out of our bonds faster than many
hard workers can earn it again and
they injure the future Of the county
by making it appear among the third
rate counties inhabited by third-rate
people.
Be careful about using the pois-
oned pencil. It's like ones tongue,
it can bring good or evil at any
stroke.

II the Road Bond Carries

1t Is hardly worth while to say,
,"If the road bond carries" for peo.
pie who have been out over the
county and heard expressions every
where report that it will go over
by a good majority, granting that
one or two precincts act on the no.
courage impulse and vote against it.
. Therefore people may just, as well
say, when the road bonds are ap-
proved" and then they can 60 on
considering what will follow such ap-
prevail.
" A Big Boost for All
Y, 1t will not be any news Of interest
to the rest of the state to hear
merely that Bingham county ap-
proved the bond sale at the polls.
1t would be queer county that
would not do that under all the at
tending circumstances. But there
is chance to put an element Of
news into the report, and one that
will be worth something to the
county in establishing its reputation
and credit; something that will be
worth a big block OF money right
away at the bond sale, and that is
to have the election go over by a
majority that will be regarded as
q unanimous vote.
