A meeting was held in Pocatello
Tuesday to check up on the results
of the poultry organization cam
paign. Representatives from the
various counties attended. Some of
the counties did not report the~num-
Der of contracts obtained, and those
reporting showed only two-thirds of
the required number of hens signed
up. In. order to make the organiza-
ton possible it is necessary to secure
$4,000 hens in the southeastern
counties. The time limit was
changed to March Is and the repre-
sentatives will return to the different
counties and endeavor to secure
enough signers to complete the 75.-
900.

office or copy will be mailed upon
request.

JOHN G. BROWN, CITIZEN

In the death of John G. Brown,
Blackfoot loses one of its citizens.
whose place and personality none
can I'LL or even approach by similar
lity. Mr.. Brown had religious con-
victfons. which he carried into his
business affairs IN fixed policies and
in broad charity, and In that he was
an outstanding figure. He analysed
men and business from q little diff
ferent angle and when he spoke,
everybody knew they were going to
hear something little different.
Mr.. Brown was one of those rare
characters seldom found in western
towns, who worked and rested and
deliberately enjoyed life as he went
along. He planned to have some
leisure as he went along, and did
not apologize for It, Others might
plan to use up the last hour of their
time and then hurry to try to gain
one, but Mr.. Brown would have
counted that as poverty in the midst
of plenty. He had a knowledge of
human nature that excelled. When
the public mind was stirred with
some new trouble, or torn with ex-
element, Mr.. Brown would take the
early information and leaven it with
human nature. After some refiec-
ton he would arrive at. set of con-
illusions somewhat in advance of the
busy people of the community and
he could give them advanced wisdom
every day until the close of the ex-
element. With each today, they
would be accepting his views of yes
terday; with each tomorrow they
would be accepting his views of to-
day. Mr.. Brown did not display his
views, but those who knew him best,
knew his clearness of vision of the
tomorrows, and enjoyed sitting with
him in counsel.
During each. of our national
calamities, such as the quake at San
Francisco, the flood at Dayton and
the various drives during the war,
men like Mr.. Brown seemed to grasp
the situation earlier and to go in
with a clearer vision as If he sensed
something by radio, that others did
not.
We are only stating an outstand-
ing fact when we say that none can |
take his place or even approach it by |
similarity.

THE GUEssERs' CONTEST

None of the guessers won any
money this week, tho some of them
cut close to winning. The total in
come from subscriptions for the patt
two weeks was $48.20; advertising
$323.61 job work, $179.80; legals
$5O.O5.
The total cost of operating the Of
flee for the month of February was
$1O6O.2O, of which $755.3O was for
wages; $3367, for postage; $34.35
for insurance for employees against
accidents; $92 for new heating
units on the Ludlow that burned out
and SIS for installation. Cleaning
10000 linotype mats $12; obso-
lescence on Ludlow in twelve months
was nothing-it really grew in value
by getting to be better known. The
repairs on the linotype in the past
year were $1,000 and the deprecia-
tion for a year should be $3.50.
Value of tools $132.25.
Under the terms of the last guess
ing, If the prizes were not won by
the guessers, the money went into
the Better Printing Fund and Mr..
Trego had to put an equal amount
into the Better Type Fund. This part
of the game broke him and he had
to go out borrowing money to match
with. The Better Printing Fund
now stands at $822.13 and the Bet
ter Type Fund at $433.80 and Mr..
Trego's ranch fund is broke and in
debt, and the drain on the income of
the office to put into these two funds
has kept the bookkeeper from keep
ing current expenses paid up. 1t re-
sembles the period of imitation fol-
lowing the war, not enough money to
meet all demands and to keep up the
agreement too, SO there is trouble
trying to adjust the budget"
Whatever it is that is troubling the
of the world, that is
what is the matter at The Republi-
can office.

lure class out to the sale of pure

A LETTER FROM CHINA

Mrs. Flora Maddox, formerly
Miss Flora Greene, of Mackay, Is II
the Orient, and scarcely ever writes
to anybody but Dad and Mother and
to answer letters OF the others. The
editor OF The Republican gets some
thing from her about once q year
and wants to share this ono with hii
readers.
During the war Mrs. Maddox
Joined the colony Of farmerettes In
southern California and became fore
lady of the farm of some two OF
three dozen young women operating
the farms, raising long, fine cotton
and other things in the Imperial
valley.
They needed somebody to speak
Spanish and manage Mexican youth
and girls in the cotton district. Mrs.
Maddox studied Spanish and took
the place. She afterwards found q
set of educational charts that would
enable the Mexican children to learn
English rapidly and get into the
American schools, and she canvassed
the Mexican homes selling charts
with such success that she opened an
office where she trained other young
women and made salesladies of
them, covering a large territory
with her organization till she had the
charts in most of the Mexican homes
of southern California.
She afterwards took up beauty
parlor work in San Francisco and
after becoming adept at it she went
to Honolulu to establish the bust
ness there for a large firm that
wanted to branch out in the southern
seas along the trade route to the
Orient. When she had finished her
two-year contract with them she
went to China to engage in similar
work, but found newspaper work
more attractive to her and she is
now handling advertising for The
Evening News of Shanghai.
While writing the bank series fol-
lowing the failure of the Standrod
bank at Blackfoot, we sent to Mrs.
Maddox for some information re-
garding the Chinese banking laws
and customs, wrote some regarding
he Canadian banking, and now have
he reply to inquiries as to such
matters in China. Following is

Little. however, is known about the
way the brain carries on our reason

thoughts or experiences are entered
in the brain. They are compared with
zach other and with previous ex-

and thought are developed. but we
cannot tell in which particular part
OF the brain each process is carried
