though the poll of The Digest IN
unofficial, it has been surrounded
with official safeguards. The BAL
lots are printed on special card
board which has a colored bass.
There are only four presses in the
country capable of doing this par
ticular work and every pound OF
paper thus prepared is accounted
for while The Digest poll is in
progress.
The votes are sorted and tailed
by states to show the probable
vote in the Electoral College. Be.
sides his 1924 choice each voter
has been asked to designate which
party he voted for in 1920. These
figures show the shifting of tha
votes among the several parties in
each state and are said to make
possible the most comprehensive
analysis ever attempted officially or
unoficially.
The final returns of The DieeSt,u
poll will be announced on October
31st and the editors believe their
returns will be substantiated the
following Tuesday.

MRS. ATHEY'S ADDRESS

On Monday evening, Mrs. Rather
ence at the American Legion hall on
the work and purposes of the anti
tuberculosis organization in Idaho.
During the enlistment for war it
was found that $50 Idaho men were
rejected because they had tubercul-
osis, and this was a surprise to peo-
pie, for it was supposed that Idaho
was nearly free from that disease.
Investigation revealed the fact that
there were several times as many
cases as the draft had disclosed, and
the department of public welfare
undertook the task of finding out
just who has the disease, teaching
them how to combat it, teaching all
members of such families how to
avoid taking it from the sick mem
Der, and also an effort was made to
found two hospitals for the care of
infected ones.
The legislature appropriated
money for the purchase of land and
erection of buildings for that pur-
pose, in 1919, and in the course of
two years differences of opinion
arose and the 1923 session repealed
the measure and turned what was
left of the appropriation back into
the general fund. 1t was claimed
that money had been wasted in pre-
liminaries, that the need for the
hospitals had partly passed since
Idaho's returned soldiers had been
taken care of in federal hospitals,

Next the envelopes are sent to
the mailing rooms. There a
hundred stacks of ballots reach
the ceiling. A steady stream of
trucks constantly arrives with en-
velopes and instructions. And
twenty automatic stamping mach

Uncle Sans cash registers. Every

over two million pennies.
Above all the noise there is the
feminine babel of over five hun

are inserted into the 100000 adj

SNYDERS ENJOYING TRIP

A. j. Snyder and family left the

to Chicago to attend the Internation-
al Hay and Grain show and have
written to the Republican telling OF
their stop at Denver and how they
are enjoying their trip. Mr.. Snyder
recalls the first visit of himself and
family to Denver years ago when
they purchased team and wagon
and wandered about the wonder
lands of that section. He says Den
yer presents very different appear
ance now as city of 100000.
The first days trip took them to
Ogden. When completed he says
the Lincoln highway from coast to
coast will be wonderful road and
that it is expected that by next year
most of it will be completed.
Mr.. Snyder speaks especially of
the help the chambers of commerce
are rendering along over the
country and said that at Cheyenne

the banner Miss Grace Peck, secre-
tary of the Blackfoot chamber, had
printed for them bearing the legend,
From Springfield, Idaho, to Inter

cago, Advertising Bingham County

will serve as an introduction to peo-
pie all along the line. Continuing
the letter reads:

GOVERNOR VISITED SCHOOLS

On Tuesday forenoon Governor
Moore was taken out to make five
minute talks to schools at River
side, Rockford, Thomas, district No
IL, Moreland and Groveland.
The pupils were assembled in a
body and the governor talked to
them about making the most of their
opportunities for education, advised
them that men and women are only
boys and girls grown up, that life is
a struggle for both young and old,
and If they live clean lives they will
enjoy the struggle. He advised
them to learn we'll the principles
taught the boy scouts, self control,
readiness to serve, and to be kind to
all living things, never to kill any
thing for fun, but to respect all
forms of life.

People driving from Blackfoot to
Arco are informed that the road is
very good now. They should not go
via Moreland, but from Snake river
bridge should drive west until they
register sixteen miles from Black
foot, then turn north to the railroad.
After passing Taber there is a
very good road along the southern
side of the railroad nearly to the
county line, then slant across to the
new grade just south Of the Delzer
ranch. From there the roads are in
fine condition to Arco, most of it
equal to a pavement.
