THEIR STORY MISLEADING
Statement That the Bonded Indebted
ness Of Lincoln County is
$128,300 Wrong

The story and table in last Sundays
Statesman crediting Lincoln county
with an indebtedness of 1$28,300 is not
fact. The total bonded Indebted
ness of Lincoln county is 2,498.56.
Probably the error in the Statesman
game about this way. Years ago be-
fore the county was divided there
was a bonded Indebtedness that on
the division Of the county into four
counties was assumed by the differ
ent counties, which at the present time
they owe as follows Jerome, $23,129.-
95 Minnidoka, s1S,530.62 and Gooding,
S31 ,060.S7, a total of s72,701.44.
In the Statesman these amounts are
charged against these counties and
also against Lincoln county, making
Lincoln county appear in bad light.
Since the report in the Statesman
was made up on January 1, 1928 there
has been paid off on this indebted
less the sum of s13, 100, including prin-
iple and interest.

for phrases that read both ways. But
poorly constructed sentences take the

it is often benehcient and protec-

pump a little harder to get the blood
through. Although on the average
the duration OF life is not so long with
high blood pressure as with low, we
