for women who may not have the op-
portunity TO visit association health
centers where careful physical and
medical examinations are given as the
first step toward the Improvement OF
health. The questions, IL honestly
answered, will show the individual
whether she is following good health

FOUR BOYS PLAYING
WITH RIFLE; l SHOT

Looking into the muzzle of % cal.
ioer rifle TO see if any dirt had gotten
into the barrel was the cause Of Ira
Chaffee being shot last Tuesday after.
noon while playing at Island park
with three other boys.
Mrs. ". D. Rusk and her son and
Mrs. H. c. Christensen and her SON
OF Leadore had driven to Salmon N
the Rusk automobile for visit with
the A. II. Ford family OF this CITY
soon after getting here the Rusk and
christensen boys and the son Of the
FORD family. along with Ira, son of
"A. e. Chaffee, sailed forth without
the knowledge OF their parents and
took along rifle, which belongs Ia
the Fords.
Soon afterward the three compan.
ions of Ira brought him back in their
arms. DIR. Stratton found upon exam
NATION that the bullet had entered
under the eye and lodged in the boys

IT had all happened 50 Suddenly and
Unexpectedly that Ira didn't know
what had taken place. but looked up
and laughed till the shock caused him
TO faint and grow sick.

NEW LEADoRE PAPER
LOCATES NEXT TO BANK

While in Leadore on Wednesday the
editor of The Recorder had the pleas
ure of meeting with n. L. Reynolds.
the new printereditor, who has come
from Dubois to start a newspaper in
the upper Lemhi metropolis. We
were enabled to locate the new confer
next TO the bank, which is the right
place for any newspaper man to place
himself and not at the other end of
the line. In thus bestowing his bus
mess in Leadore Mr. Reynolds has
shown rare judgment, for newspapers,
while always foremost in the work of
community progress. have undertaken
too much to lead from tie wrong end
of the column.
Mr.. Reynolds looks like level
headed man whom it is pleasure TO
welcome into any town. The new
paper will be issued as soon as the
machinery can be set agoing. II will
be called The Leadore Leader

ELECTION COMMENT is
FAVORABLE TO DEMOCRATS

Numbers of citizens heretofore af
filiated with the Republicans came
out voluntarily and openly to vote in
the Democratic primary. Not one of
them was in any wise. obligated to
vote that way by being hauled forth
in car operated in sinister personal
interests, but they either walked to
the polls or used their own cars. One
of these explained his position by say
ing his party organ has so abused the
president of the United States that
the organs had forgotten to form any
opinions about anything else and SO
he had become tired Of that sort of
thing and would hereafter act with the
Democrats.
Former Republicans Opinion.
"Just about the nastiest political
warfare | ever saw waged," was the
manner of his further explanation of
the cause of his leaving his party to
embrace Democracy, ''and the result
is distinct rebuke for the head of
the Republican organization who had
tried to control an important nomina-
ton for the opposing Democratic
party"
w. H. Shoup, Republican author
ity in the county says there are at
the least calculation 200 new voters
in Lemhi since the last election His
opinion is that these voters will deter
mine the result of the November cleo
ton. Mr.. Shoup does not venture a
, guess as to how the new voters Will
! line UP.
Democrats Take Rosy View.
Democrats generally express salts
faction over the result of the Well
Kirtley- contest as showing united
party behind all the candidates Sc
lected, who will have also very con-
siderable independent support.
The ticket as whole commends
itself as having been made up by a
representative caucus. Democrats be-
lieve that it will have no interests but
those of the general public to sub
serve, which is pretty certain TO carry
| it to victory.
Two years ago Nugent, the Demo
| cratic candidate for United States sen
| ator, obtained a plurality over Good
| in gof 120. Lemhi Democrats believe
| ing of 120. Lemhi Democrats believe
| that vote to be fair test of strength
| of the two parties and expect, with
the help of the independent voters, to
top that figure this year.
The fact that many Republicans are
| expecting the Democrats to win was
indicated in the primary elections or
Tuesday, when the Democratic vote
was three or four times that OF the
Republicans, though the Republicans
had three contests while the Demo
Gratis had but one.
