Publicity Campaign
lnaugurated Monday

In Mondays issue of the Idaho Re
publican we begin a four months
publicity campaign that is unusual
owing to the fact that in hard times
we are preaching the spirit of optim
ism and taking an inventory of the
resources of our community, givins
them to the public on special page
devoted to that purpose in every
Mondays issue.
We have associated with us in this
work number of substantial busi-
ness houses. o.
In these days of uncertainty most
people are thinking in negative
terms about the future and it is our
belief that this is the time that peo-
pie should be thinging in positive
terms or thinking in terms of enter
prise rather than waiting for some
thing to turn up. 1t is time when
people should get out and turn some.
thing up. That is what will set bust.
ness going and set us to developing
our resources. Waiting to see what
happens never starts an enterprise
With every Monday edition of this
paper for the next four months, one
page will be devoted to review of
the resources of the county or some
body's resources who is affecting the
business of this county. This page
will always be printed on one of the
inside pages of the paper. On the
front page of each Monday edition
there will be an article referring to
the resources of the county, or the
institutions of the county. This is
for the information of the home peo-
pie and for the information of home-
seekers and people seeking to get
into better surroundings, Most of
the readers Of the paper have friends
and relatives in other states who are
more or less interested in learning
the conditions that exist in this
county and readers will find this an
easy and convenient means of send
ing them all the information. If
people will 60 to the post office and
buy sixteen newspaper wrappers at
a cost of about 20 cents, they can
very easily mail these papers on to
their friends or any interested person
after they have read them and thus
make the paper do double service at
cost of about a cent APIECE This
is a big cooperative undertaking,
harder task because it is commenced
when times are hard and money
tight. 1t will do more good because
people are thinking in, negative
terms and are disposed to. wait to
see what will turn up at time when
they ought to be turning something
up. If all the readers of the paper
will use it as we have suggested, for
warding each copy to some interested
person as soon as they are thru with
1t, it will give tremendous amount
of publicity without any extra ex-
pense to the readers. The main ex-
pense is borne by the publishers and
by the advertisers who are backing
the undertaking. Get your sixteen
newspapers wrappers and send the
complete series to your friends. Send
every one from chapter one to
chapter sixteen.

y. S. Congress
, Asked to Pass Ford
ney Emergency Bill

Resolutions urging the congress o
the United States to pass the Ford
ney emergency tariff bill with amend
ment including beef and hides were
unanimously adopted by the mem
bers of the senate of the sixteenth
legislature Wednesday. Idaho mar
ket and range products are impaired
by foreign shipments and immediate
relief is demanded in the resolution
The Idaho Cattle and Horse Growers
association passed a resolution urg.
ing the members of the senate to
take this action.
The report of the printing commit.
tee brought out considerable discus
sion. The Capital News Printing
company was awarded the contract
to print bills at price of $2.67 per
page. Senator Yeaman of Bonne-
vile county explained to the mem
bers that this price was 80 per cent
In excess of two years ago. Senator
Paddock of Washington objected to
paying this price. Senator Yeaman
explained that in his opinion the
contract price was low as the cost of
paper had more than doubled and
wages were also higher. He cited ex-
amples to prove his point After the
explanation, Senator Paddock with
drew his objection.
The house of representatives in
formed the senate that the bill pro-
viding for furnishing copies of the
sessions laws and revised statutes to
the members of any legislature had
been passed by that body.
Rules Committee Reports
The committee on rules, of which
Mansion of Franklin is chairman,
submitted it's report to the senate. It
was read by the chief clerk and
adopted.
The upper house ordered the pur-
chase of two new typewriters for the
use of the members. Senator Whit
comb in making the motion said that
the legislature was forced to pur-
chase new machines each year due
to the fact that they were used by
state departments when the legisla-
ture was not in session. These type
writer's, the Lemhi senator said, are
charged to the legislative account
while others wear them out.
The committee on enrolled bills
was appointed and consists of the
following members: Kerrick of
Canyon, Harding Of Oneida and Pad
dock of Washington.-Ida States
man.

REPORT OF TAX PAYMENTS

County Treasurer H. A. Benson re-
ports that the total amount of taxes
paid in up to the closing time when
taxes became delinquent was $685.
500 and that this was about $1,000
or $4,000 less than was paid in last
year up to closing time.
The statements and predictions
made earlier in the month Of Decem-
Der that people could not possibly
pay their taxes. do not seem to have
been borne out by the facts.

Defective Insulation Creates Most or
It.
motor car storage battery, II al
lowed to discharge though a short
circuit. will produce a current of four
or five hundred amperes for a short
time and such a current is of great
thermal effect, capable of heating a
small wire red hot or even of melting
1t. Short-circuits are therefore likely
to set cars on fire and SHOULD be most
carefully guarded against. Lighting
circuits and sometimes horn and igni-
ton circuits are quite generally pro-
tected against excess currents by fuses
or circuit breakers. but on some cars
there arc no such safeguards and
there is never any such protection for
the starting motor circuit or in the
main cable that leads from the bat
terry to the fuse panel or circuit break
er. The use OF armored conductors
greatly decreases short-circuiting and
fire danger, which is at its height
where 'unarmored conductors with oil
soaked rubber and fabric insulation
are used, the most common start OF
fire being at a point where insula-
ton has worn off py rubbing on
grounded metal. the heat groduced at
the point of short-circuit setting the
oily insulation into flame and the blaze
communicating to other combustible
parts of the car. The use only OF con-
ductors with non-inflammable cover
ings: the protection of wires from
being chafed by metal parts and the
keeping of conductors and their i'm
mediate vicinity free from oil and
grease. are the best safeguards avail
able.
GEAR LOCK IN MESH
w. l.. H. writes: The transmission
of my car gives trouble by locking
in high gear or occasionlly in second
speed when he position Of the shift
ing lever indicates that the gears are
in neutral. this being specially like
to happen when the sar is stopped.
Tho bearin gof tho clutch shaft is
slightly loose, could this cause tho
trouble? What else could do so?
Answer: It would seem that the
shifting mechanism be at fault, for
any ordinary bearing looseness would
not account for 1t. Evidently the lever
loses connection with the selector
that slides the high and second speed
gear and 1t slips into neutral. without
actually neutrnlizing this gear pair

stances. should the brakes be put on.

general rule. but Is subject to this
exception: SO long as the engine Is
fully slowed down and is holding the
car back instead Of propellins 1t In de-

LEAKY BATTERY CELL

W Fl. H. writes: My battery, which
is almost new, seemed to leak in one
cell. as indicated by its taking much
more water than the others. had 1t
examined with the report that there
was no leak. but since then the cell
which originally seemed to leak has
stopped doing so and one Of the others
now requires an unusually large
amount of water. II the cells do not
leak how can so much water dIsap-
pear?
Answer: 1t may be that. when your
battery was taken down for examina-
tion. the jar which did actually leak
was not replaced. but when the bat
terry was assembled. the cells were in
terchanged In the case, SO that the
leaky cell is not in the position which
1t originally occupied. thus giving the
impression that another cell is leaking.
We suggest that you have the battery
examined by someone else next time.
The evaporation from each cell should
be obout the same and any great DIFF
ference in the amount OF water re-
quired. Is pretty good evidence OF leak
age.

Mrs. Grover Cleveland,

A talkative young girl was one
day travelling from New York 10
New London. She was sharing her
seat with a pleasant young woman
who spoke TO her.
They talked for a while on gen.
eral topics. At last the young girl
said enthusiastically:
Speaking of lovely women, I've
been reading about Mrs. Grover
Cleveland. She is my idea OF a
lovely woman" And she launched
forth into enthusiastic praise of the
once mistress of the white House.
Suddenly she realized her COM
panion was not very responsive.
Maybe you don't agree with me
about Mrs. Cleveland" she said,
DO you know herr
Yes. know her." the woman re-
piled.
And don't you admire her ire
mendouslyT" asked the girl.
Well, no, not especially" the lady
responded.
The woman rose to leave the
train. As she did she handed her
card to the girl, expressing the de-
sire to see her again some day.
When she was gone the young
girl looked at the card. The name
printed on IL was Mrs. Grover
Cleveland"

which I received there went a long

Rotary Club, il makes me feel glad

years ago.
Great opportunities lie ahead OF
the boys in Washington who are
lovers of music when we properly
organize in groups through the
community centers as we will do
this early fall.
The musical boys of Washington
will furnish the music for our First
American Fair which we hold in
October and we will have one of the
greatest boys band, boys orchestra
and boys choir ever heard in our
city.
Then, too, we will have in our
