Beat Mail Orders with Advertising

Atlanta, Ca. Mch. 3.-The mer-
chant in the town and small city is
to blame for letting so much OF his
local trade go out to the mail order

are making a study Of business con-
ditions.
What tho merchant in the small
city and town should learn, declare
these students OF conditions, is to
attract trade by advertising, for ad-
yertising is the secret Of every great
business stccess in the world to-day
WithoutStt no business can grow
Not onlyBhould the merchant adver-
tlse, bitAag should devote his very

110-POund Watermelons.

Washington, Mch. 3.-One hun
dred and ten-pound watermelons!
They have thsm in Egypt. Consular
reports say so. and consuls never
err. But they keep them all at
home. There Is no export business.
The consul at Alexandria noted
melons in the market there, all
weighing from ten to 10 pounds
and varying In price from thirty
cents to $3.50.
He also noted that, while they
were just "watermillions," they had
been given funny names, such as
"battikh" and "nIms'' and "yaffawi'
and that only two melons grow to the
plant.

State Asylum at
Provo is Managed
With Efficiency

DR.. G. A. Hoover, superintendent
of the Blackfoot asylum made trip
to Provo Saturday night and spent a
day there inspecting the asylum and
studying the methods of equipment
He says that DR.. Hyde, the medical
superintendent has been very sue
cessful in the management Of the in
stitution, it being handled there in
a different way from what the Black
foot asylum, the medical superin-
tendent not having anything to do
with operating the farm or purchas-
ing goods. He simply takes care Of
the patients. The new state admin
istration is considering the matter of
relieving DR.. Hyde and putting in a
man who is a pioneer, a man who
has many friends, man who needs
the job and the salary, but who has
had no experience in any such work.
DR.. Hoover was in Salt Lake Monday
and Governor Mabey consulted him
about the advisability of such a
move and received reminder that
such institutions we're not operated
for the benefit of the superintendent
or persons in charge, but for the
benefit Of the patients being cared
for in the institution.

Candidates for CITY
Offices Should Be
Chosen Before Sixth

The city election will be held on
the twenty-sixth of April and nom-
nations must be made by the sixth
of April. Some of the local men who
are talking over the question of when
to hold the nominating convention
or conventions have decided that
they should be held on Friday night
or Monday night, preferably Friday
night because that would give more
time to fix up the papers after the
convention.
Judge Andersen, the city attorney,
was called away when he was in the
midst of the plans for holding con-
vention. He went to southern Idaho
to attend the funeral of his brother
and is expected back Friday evening.
On his return it is likely that he will
complete the plans and announce
the nominating convention. There
must be at least forty voters at the
convention to enable them to nom-
mate ticket.

Local Postal Clerk
Makes Excellent
Examination Record

w. H. Taylor, chief clerk of the
railway mail service for this district
with headquarters at Ogden, was in
Blackfoot Tuesday for the purpose
of examining post office clerks and
the clerk on the he Blackfoot and
Mackay r. P. o., on what is known
as the general scheme for Idaho. To
pass this examination, clerks are re-
quired to secure rating of at least
IS per cent to throw correctly not
less than sixteen cards per minute,
each card representing a certain post
office, there being over 900 such Of
fees in this state. Miss Laura
Gaumer, one of the clerks in the
local office, was given a rating Of
100 per cent at this examination. Mr..
Taylor states that it Is very unusual
for clerk to attain this percentage
and that altho he has been conduct
ing these examinations for the
greater portion of the time for the
past three months, only one clerk be-
sides Miss Gaumer has secured q
rating Of 100 per cent.

rendered it to the city clerk to carry

on, ti'l on the ts tle, that of the
Wheelwright Construction company
of Ogden and they bid 100 cents on
the dollar for the tcrd7 on condi-
tion that their bid for construction
work was accepted, and with the fur
ther consideration that this applied
only If they. used the cast iron pipes.
II they used the steel pipes then their
bid was to be 95 cents. As the board
reviewed the bids, they found that
this company had put in one Of the
low bids for construction work. A
good many other bond buyers were
present, but did not put in any bids.
One or more Of them had arranged
bids to be handled thru contractors,
but where such arrangements were
made, those contractors were not
among the low bidders.
Members of the council spent
much of their time Tuesday studying
the bids while the tabulating was
being done and on Wednesday morn
ing they met in executive session to
try to arrive at conslusions in the
matter. One might think at first
look that it would be easy to COM
pare the bids to see which one was
the lowest and thereby arrive at a
decision, but it is very complicated
matter because so many different
things enter into the problem. To
give the reader more complete idea
Of the whole situation, perhaps we
SHALL have to describe it at some
length.

New Auto Chain by
N. f. Montgomery
Has Real Worth

N. e Montgomery was down from
Idaho Falls exhibiting a new kind Of
automobile chain which he worked
out himself after three years study
while he was doing other things a
part of the time.
Mr.. Montgomery's invention con-
sists of chain that does not unho0k
and fly off the wheel on to the pave
ment as 1t travels. The cross chains
In the web are laid on a slant so that
they strike the ground or the paw
ing on the diagonal and do not give
the jar that is received from those
that run straight across. Mr.. Mont
gomery's chain has not the old style
hooks and fastener that gives SO
much trouble and that fly of If they
are turned the wrong way in putting
them on. His chain has hooks, but
they are all of the open kind, they
unhook easily yet do not unlock
automatically. They have to be
pressed certain way to release
them. This same pressure that
hooks or unhooks the chain, provides
for the tightening Of it so that 1t
cannot automatically unhook and fly
on.
Perhaps it will make it a little
palmer when we tell you that the
chain reaches more than once around
the wheel on the outside. The part
that laps over some two or three feet
cuts across and hooks into the rim
and then there are couple of side
hooks that are drawn sideways to
hook into that part Of the chain that
follows the circumference of the
wheel, thereby comes the tightening
of the whole chain without any.
trouble to the operator. 1t relieves
the person of the necessity of draw
ing and stretching the chain when It
is put on and when one. wishes to
take it off, it is not necessary to get
pliers or other tools to pry the clasps
open. Mr.. Montgomery's chain is
built little heavier than most of the
chains are and will be a little more
expensive on that account, but they
come great deal cheaper than most
chains because when once put on
they stay until the clasps are re-
leased to take them OF.
