IN
1924 IS SHORT
Less Rainfall for 1924 Than
For a Number of Years
Previous-.54 Inch
in Past Week

The fact that 1924 has been the
driest year in Gilmore County for the
past decade is proven by the COM
plete record of every year as is kept
by the local observer. Judge Manion.
In the year 1921 the precipitation
amounted to 1920 inches. The wet
test month of that year was in No
Vember when 2.35 inches were re-
corded. The rainfall for the last
six months of that year was as fol-
lows: August. none. September, 80
inches, October .15 inches. Novem-
ber, 2. 35 inches, December, 100
inches.
1922 came with more rainfall than
the preceding year, 11.7S inches be-
ing recorded for that period. The
greatest amount for any one month
being for December with 3.01 inches.
The precipitation for the last six
months of this period was as fol-
lows: August, 1.O9, September, none,
October LOS, November, .92, Decem-
Der, $40.
The year 1928 fell little short of
1922 with 1928 inches. The great
est amount falling in October with
2.34 inches. For the last six months
of that year the precipitation fol-
lows: August, trace, September,
1.25 inches, October, 2. "a inches.
November, .SS inch, December, 1.O2
inches.
The present year up until the first
of October has only amounted to 2.38
inches, slightly more in some cases
and a little short in other instances,
OF the greatest precipitation for the
wettest month of the preceding three
years. The total for August being,
,07 inch and a trace falling in Sep
tember, however, the rains of the
past week will bring the average a
little higher. According to the re-
port of Mr.. Manion in this weeks s
paper there were "a inches fell on
and Tuesday and in addition
TO the published report 80 inches
fell during Tuesday night.
The weather conditions of the past
week will meet with general APPROX
Il from all sheep and cattlemen of
his entire section as it had benefit
ed range conditions considerably.

GAME BIRD REQUIRE
BETTER PROTECTION
WITH OPEN SEASON ON
PHEASANT IN SUR.
ROUNDING COUNTY
WARDEN NEEDED

Quite number of pheasant and
quail are reported from all parts of
Elmore County, wherever there is
water available and sportsmen say
that they would be easy prey for
those who desire to shoot them. ow-
ing to the fact that the season on
pheasant will open in several adj
Joining counties on the first 1t should
be called to the attention OF the
state Fish and Game Department the
fact that this county is without the
services Of a game warden. Most
all of the sportsmen are particularly
anxious to preserve the pheasants
that they have started at the present
time until next year at which time,
If the proper protection is given,
hunting will be of the best. Owing
to the fact that the other counties
are having an open season on these
game birds about the first of the
coming month it would be an easy
matter to kill the birds in Gilmore
and state that they were from Owy-
hee or some other nearby county.
The Importance of proper supervis-
ion during this period should not be
overlooked by the state officials.

RETURNS

Arrangements have been made
with the election boards in ev-
cry part of Dlmore County to
have the returns phoned to this
Office Immediately after the votes
are counted and we will very
likely have a compiled list of the
votes cast for the various state
and county offices in this county
at least by Wednesday morning
of next week. We have also
made arrangements with a Boise
concern to file kilograms on the
standing of the various state can
didates during the course of the
count. 1t is quite likely that we
will be able to give our readers
an authentic count of the votes
in next weeks issue.
No provisions have as yet been
made for the receipt OF the nation
al returns but it is believed likely
that they will also be received by
telegraph at this office. The
broadcasting stations will also
keep radio fans informed on this
phase of the election.

SCHoLTZ ATTRACTS
A FLAPPER

TO r p. schoits. manager OF the
Mellen Hotel, of this city, goes al
honors as shiek of the nth degree.
He is there with the goods, accord
ing to the following story that is go
ing the rounds. 1t seems that Scholtz
was returning from the dance at
Featheryille last Sunday morning
and upon reaching a point about
nine miles from town a two year old
doe was standing in the middle Of
the road and had become either
blinded by the lights or was at
traeted by Mr.. Scholtz's personality
and refused tc bulge. However after
some persuasion the deer left the
road and the auto party proceeded
on their way. Moral: Buy Buick
Limousine If you wish to be popular
with the ladies.

CONSTITUTIONAL
AMENDMENT
JUDGE WATTS WRITES
ON LAW THAT WILL
BE SUBMITTED TO
THE VOTERS

In compliance with request from
the Republican, Judge ]. G. Watts
submits the following, relative to the
Senate Joint Resolution, upon which
the people will vote next Tuesday:
"As the constitution stands now
the right to appropriate water for
domestic, agricultural, mining, man
ufacturing and power purposes is un-
limited. There is nothing to prevent
the power companies from appro-
priating all the water rights upon
our streams to the detriment OF
agricultural, milling and mining
purposes.
"The amendment proposes to give
the legislature power by legislative
action to limit the power companies
in the appropriation of the water OF
our stream.
There lis much discussion among
the voters over this amendment and
be dangerous thing to give the
legislature power to regulate, but
the amendment provides that the
power companies may appropriate
water subject to such Limitations as
the legislature provides. Remember
that now there is no limitation what
so ever upon the power companies
right to appropriate water, by au-
thorizing the Legislature to place
limitations upon their right GER
tainlly cannot work an injury to the
farmer or Others having beneficial
use for the water of our stream, but
should prove of great benefit to
them.

EXCELLENT CORN
RAISED HERE
Postmaster White Has Ex-
cellent Specimens of Gold
en- Bantham Raised
In This City

Postmaster White has proven his
efficiency as a farmer as well as q
postmaster and during the past week
he presented the Republican with
some prize ears of Golden Bantham
Corn, which is of the finest quality
and can be exceeded by none.
In this regard. Mr.. White states
as follows;
81 have demonstrated to my own
satisfaction that corn can be profit
ably made a staple farm production
in southern Idaho. The Mississippi
and Missouri Valleys have proven
that corn is not only a valuable
product but almost an indispensable
article. without corn the beef trusts
would be out of business and the
pork packers could no longer exist.
Even some of the moonshiners could
not make their mash.
While our freight rates, we all
feel, are prohibative. when it comes
to shipping hay, potatoes, and all
kinds of grain out of this country to
a good market center.
Now let's see if we cannot make a
benefit out of what has been a hind
rance. The freight rate on corn
from the nearest corn marketing
belt is about soc per bushel.
If we raise corn to market we can
add $40 per bushel to the Omaha
and Grand Island price, and still be
selling as cheap as it can be shipped
in. Our sheep men who need corn
every winter and ship it in would
all be glad to buy from home produc-
ers if they could. l feel they would
be pleased to give our own farmers
the money rather than buy in the
East.
Give the corn a few acres trial
with the necessary attention and if
you will raise enough for car load
I feel sure you will have home
market for it. If you don't it will
keep over and make good beef, NUT
ton or pork.

Just Words of

CARDS For Milford Chronicle
and the Advancement on
Her Schools and
Highways.

The following letter from Prof
John D. Brooks, who was Superin.
tendent of Public Schools in Sussex
County, Delaware, fifteen years ago
was received recently, and it is print
ed in these columns, with pleasure
Prof. Brooks is connected with Will
son College at Chambersburg, Penna.
He says:
1t is now fifteen years since I left
Delaware and naturally, ones inter-
est becomes somewhat dimmed with
the lapse of years.
I have been delighted to have the
Milford Chronicle to follow the amOst
marvellous development of Delaware
along the lines Of public highways
and public schoOls-twO public util-
tiles in whose development 1 was in
tensely interested.
My dreams in these two subjects, as
journeyed about Sussex county,
have been realized through and by the
enlightened philanthropy Of two of
Delaware's most progressive citizens.
One now understands better the cru
cifiXiOn of Christ, when one considers
how many Of the beneficiaries Of their
kindness, have treated these TWO men.
feel that must express to you
what have expressed so often else
concerning the excellence of
The Milford Chronicle. It is by long
odds the best rural newspaper that |
have seen in a rather extended exper-
Ience.
It is clean, well printed and edited,
and covers the news in its territory in
1 remarkable able way. It is progress
sive and always stands for the best
.hings in the community and State.
There was one issue around Christ
mas that I considered model; and,
fully intended to commend it to you
It that time. May you grow and
prosper according to your merits.
Change my address to 249 Lincoln
Way East, Chambersburg, Pa.
I am most sincerely yours.

The first Kresge store was established in Detroit in 1S97 by Mir. kresge and by 1912 there were so stores in operation. During that year the business was incorporated under the laws of Delaware, later in 1916 reincorporated under the laws of Michigan and has enjoyed a healthy and steady growth
 Sales during 1923 were SSl, S46,0 ,000 with 2SS stores in operation.
