NEW FARM PAPER TELLS
ABOUT SPUD MARKET

Almost an entire page in the last
issue of the Intermountain Farm
News is devoted to items of interest
regarding the Idaho Potato Ex-
change, the new cooperative market
ing movement for handling the DO
tato crop of Idaho. The news is
authentic as the Intermountain Farm
News has been officially endorsed by
the potato exchange and it will car
ry news of the activities of the ex-
change in each issue.
The Intermountain Farm News is
the new Idaho farm paper published
at Idaho Falls and the issues thus far
give evidence that it will prove popu-
lar among the farmers. It is the Of
fetal organ of the Idaho Farm Bur-
eau Federation and has been en-
dorsed by other farm organizations
and hundreds of individual farmers.
It is confined almost entirely to
news of direct interest to farmers of
southern and eastern Idaho and is
he only farm paper actually printed
IN the farming sections of this
itate.

To Widen Bridge

The village board is going to wild
en- the bridge over Canyon creek on
the highway by extending sidewalks
on either side. The contract has
been let for this work and it Will
commence at once. This point has
always been dangerous and in wet
weather has caused pedestrians a
great deal of annoyance from mud
scattered by the cars all over the
present sidewalk. 1t is a much need
ed improvement and will be well
coined by those living in the west
section of town.

DEMENTED man
ATTEMPTS suicide
Cuts Throat with. Safety Razor Blade
in County Jail-Quick Work
Saves Life

Frank Neff, confined in the FL

his life Friday morning of last week,
and almost succeeded in his endeav-

with a safety razor blade, and but
FOR quick work on the part Of Deputy
Sheriff Walt Fountain and DR.. o. p.
Hamilton the man would have been
dead in few minutes.
Nen was brought to Mountain
Home from King Hill Thursday
evening, where he had escaped from
a train while laboring under the
delusion that the train crew was
seeking his life. He was in charge
of mis- brother who had come from
Colorado to care for him.
Neff, who at one time worked in
Mountain Home on the drilling of
the deep well at the depot, had been
in Oregon, and becoming demented.
started for Sopkane. His condition
became apparent to the train crew,
and the sheriff of Goldendale was
summoned to take him in charge.
The mans brother was notified of
his condition, and left at once for
Washington to take him in charge.
Before re arrived, however, Neff at
tempted to end his life by cutting
his throat with a penknife, infiict-
ing a cash on the left side Of the
neck. He was cared for at once
and when his brother arrived the
journey to Colorado was begun. AS
stated above, however, the trip
ended at King Hill.
Neff and mis- brother occupied the
same quarters in the woman's ward
at the Jail. Early Friday morning,
without warning Neff suddenly pro-
duced safety razor blade and
slashed his throat on the right side.
Blood spurted from the severed ar

Fountain leaped for the phone. DR..
Hamilton answered at once and

mental condition was serious and an
insanity quiz was held Friday after

OeoupY New Rnildinp

The high school classes moved
Monday into the new building.
Quite a number of new pupils have
enrolled recently, and with the new
equipment which has been provided
in the new building we should be
able to care for all the needs for
some time to come. Unfortunately
two of our high school teachers have
resigned, but others will be en-
ployed and will be on the ground
shortly. The people of GIenns Ferry
are justly proud of their school and
we believe that this will be a record
year in every way. There will be.
unless unforeseen accidents happen.
the largest class of graduates this
year in the history of the school.
We have an exceptionally fine staff
OF teachers who are working har-
moniously with our superintendent
towards the highest efficiency DOS
slble. We are assured also that we
have just as many poets as they have
at Mountain Home and that some
day our blossoming poets will prove
It if the editor of our local paper can
find space in which to print their
attempts.

good will ever be accomplished by
harsh words or bitter feelings. We
must reason together and come to
some understanding, and even If the
final outcome does not please us all
and it will not, let us forget it and
boost for a bigger and better Glenns
Ferry. There is a very bright and
prosperous future for our town, for
Glenns Ferry is going to be (and we
are not making any empty boast)
one of the best towns in southern
Idaho to live in, whether the sewer
is put in now or at some future date.

had been accomplished, and that it
was about time something was done.
He called his hearers attention to
the fine work of the committee of ten
which had worked out plan for
the reopening of the bank, and
wondered if this scheme could not
be adopted in the present instance.
John Gaines thought that the
plan suggested was a good one, but
Mr.. Mclaughlin was of the opinion
that the circumstances were not sim
liar. He stuck by his original opin-
ion, that it was better to "sit tight"
Other speakers were of the opin-
ion that it would be best to take no
action at the present time, and the
meeting adjourned subject to the
call of the committee.

The losers are, we understand, to
treat the winners to a feed. (It
might be a good idea for the con-
tenders for and against the sewer sys-
TEN to do likewise after the battle
is over. A feed always makes those
who participate feel comfortable and
good natured, besides it would help
greatly to take that bad taste out
of the mouth of him who is on the
losing side.) The improvement club
in the past rendered valuable aid
to the community and we wish them
all success in this membership cam

5 INCHES SNOW
ON THE SUMMIT

George E. Butler and wife came
down by wagon this week from At
lanta. Mr.. Butler reports that the
weather at Atlanta at the present
time is fine, and there is no snow,
but on the summit the ground is
covered with about FIVE inches of
the beautiful.
The trip by wagon required three
days on account Of the icy condi-
tion of the roads.
George reports plenty of deer
hunters in the Atlanta vicinity, and
all seem to be successful.
The couple have secured rooms at
the residence of Mr.. and Mrs. ). e.
wilkins, where they will be at home
during the winter and early spring.

Marrow Esoape From Death

William Duncan, local dairyman,
narrowly escaped death Wednesday
evening. Mr.. Duncan was making
his evening rounds, delivering milk
and had started to cross Commercial
street, the danger point frequently
referred to in these items. Suddenly
a box car appeared out of the dark
and crashed into the milk wagon.
Both horses were instantly killed,
but Mr.. Duncan leaped from the We
hicle and escaped with severe bruises.
The wagon was totally demolished.
Mrs. Duncan is well known in Grange
circles in Elmore county.

GRAND HONORs FOR CHIEF

The Pythian Sisters held a very
enjoyable and profitable meeting
Nov. 1. The Grand Chief, Leila Jain,
of Genesee, made her official visit
to the temple, who extended to her
the grand hon as. Her address was
encouraging and the poem ''Pet"
was most fitting. The Z o'clock
banquet served by the Sisters at the
home of Sister Louise Boyd was
much enjoyed, all being seated at
one large table, which made it seem
like a large family gathering.

GOOD PROGRAM
AT THE WEAVER

Probably many readers of the Re
publican do not believe in signs, but
they will admit, after seeing the
play that George Beban, in "The
Sign Of the Rose" is exceedingly
worth while. It will be shown at
the Weaver Thursday and Friday of
this week, and Round of "The
Leather Pushers" is an added at
traction.
Then for Saturday evening John
Gilbert, that sterling star, will please
the patrons of the theatre in Honor
First This is a great play and will
be enpoyed by all, both old and
young. Pathe News and Lyman
Howe comedy will be given for good
measure.
All! on Sunday Viola Dana, the
ne plus ultra of the silver screen,
appears in Her Fatal Millions.
All, me, how we would all love to
be afflicted with this fatal malady.
Would it not be terrible, Gwendolyn?
It would Not.
Dorothy Dalton, who is there like
a duck, will be seen Tuesday and
in Moran of the Lady
Lefty" a picture which has been
greatly talked about of late. Snub
Pollard in "A Tough Winter" makes
his a superb double bill.
No danger OF the theatre-goer not
'etting his or her moneys worth
his next six days at the Weaver.

he has been busily engaged in in

PHEASANTS AND
QUAIL GET THEIRS

The open season for pheasant and
quail opened in Idaho Thursday
morning of last week, and from all
reports received the hunters got
their limit. Although neither of
these game birds may be killed in
Elmore county, the neighboring
counties can furnish sport to the
Nimrod in plenty.
The Grand View neighborhood was
the mecca for many hunters, while
the Buhl-Twin Falls section har-
bored many others.
