Pretty Chorus
Girl Kidnapped
BY Her Husband

SAN FRANCISCO.-"Kidnapped BY
her husband" is title for a scene
to thrill even beautiful chorus
girl. 1t is the explanation for a
vacancy in the front row of the
Passing Show" chorus.
Queenie Leonard disappeared be-
tween two performances this week
in San Francisco, thereby breaking
her contract. The reason was not
known to the managers of the shaw
until an investigation was started.
Then it was found that while the
show was playing in Kansas City,
Miss Leonard had been married Sc
cretly to Philip Strasser, prominent
cigar manufacturer. Mr.. Strasser
enjoyed his honeymoon alone for
several weeks. He found waiting a
graceless task. He took train for
San Frncisco and arrived here two
days ago.
Miss Leonard was in a sympa-
thetic mood: AS a bride the game
of the footlights no longer appealed
to her. The result was that Mr..
and Mrs. Philip Strasser took an
overland train, leaving the brief ex-

BIN GIL NJ COUNTY, I'D AHO
BLAcKFOOT BUSINESS DIRECTORY

The Idaho Republican. For in
stance, if we want to estimate
costs on q school building at Aber-
deem and wish to get prices of
goods handled by firms there, and
make correct estimates of every
thing, we just look over the Aber-
deem directory and We know who
to ring or write to, to get the in
formation we want. We operate
in many other counties, and when
we consult the papers from there
we never feel sure that all the
firms in given town are repre-
sented in the advertising columns.
Some time ago we had to drive
out ON long trips to look them up.
| have sometimes suggested to
newspaper men that they pattern
after your system and make a
complete showing OF all business
firms at intervals of once or twice
a month. 1t would be such a help
full service to US, and perhaps to
many others. ! am sure the pub
fishers and business firms would
be mutually benefited, besides
helping many others like our
selves who want the information.
1t has been quite a revelation to
me to see how your Bingham
county towns are growing. A per-
son remembers, village as it was
the last time he was there, and
something like this directory no.
titles him of its growth. A new
garage is erected, there is gas and
oil on tap there, a hardware store
goes in, or somebody goes to
handling pumps, and while it may
not seem matter of any conse-
quence, yet it is, and people far
away prize the information. An
aggressive newspaper does more
for community than they them
selves ever realize, and far more
than the community ever
realizes"

What the Publishers Promised

What the Publishers Promised
When the publishers went out
soliciting these advertisements for
the business directory, some of
the firms had to be talked into
it," because they edid not at first
think that it had any value. They
did not know how complete it was
going to be, like a dictionary.
They did not think there would be
changes in it during the year.
They supposed the centerpiece,
where these lines are printed
would be filled with something
and left the same most of the
year. But we told them it would
be changed and filled with new
and interesting matter from time
to time as we found suitable mat
ter for it. That was an easy
promise to make, and we think
most of them received it with
grain of salt, not expecting much
attention to be given to that fea-
ture.
And We Surprised Them
Our bunch at The Republican
office kept on the lookout all the
time seeking some choice matter
for the directory centerpiece.
Those who have followed it know
what choice articles and stories
we have placed in it, usually the
most valuable things we could
find during the month, and dur
ing the year We have covered a
great variety of subjects in 1t.
The more attractive. the center !
piece, the more valuable the adj
vertising is, because it is seen
more and preserved by more peo-
pie.
We Always Try 1t
For several. years we have al
ways tried to deliver something
a little better than we promised.

MANY THOUSAND
ACRES PLANTED
TO SUNFLOWERS

PRINCE ALBERT Sask.. Aug. ..
(SpL) Thousand of acres in this prov
nce will resemble gigantic flower gar
dens this year. due to the increased
cultivation OF sunflowers for fodder. So
great a hold has this plant taken upon
the farmers OF this district that a COM
pany just formed for the manufacture
OF silos is named for II.
Six of the biggest farmers and dairy
men in the Prince Albert region have
taken up this prolific fodder plant,
while the entire landscape win be dot
ted with patches large and small The
type selected frequently reaches IL
height Of is feet, surmounted by enor-
nous blossoms a foot or more in di
ameter.
Experiments at Bozeman, Montana,
Saskatoon, Edmonton and the Canadian
Pacific demonstration farm at Strath-
successes, not only in the Weld of en-
silage. but also in quantity and quality
of milk and of meat.
Last winter at Scott, Sask.. cattle
fed on a sunflower ration showed a
profit of $40 per head more than those
fed under similar conditions on the
usual fodder ensilage, such as corn, peas
and oats.
Sunflowers at Strathmore, Alberta
last year produced 346 tons of fodder
per acre, as against II tons of corn
and seven tons Of field peas, all grown
under the same conditions. BoZeman
produced from 20 to 80 tons per acre,
and the net result of experiments at
all stations is to very greatly stimulate
the live stock and dairy industries.
