have two candidates for the Democratic
congressional nomination next year. They
are Tom Hensley. the mayor, and Bob
Forrest, well known attorney. Forrest

congress, and tried for the nomination last
year, keaton defeating him. Hensley has
since his election as mayor of Ell Reno. his
little taste of public life having strength
ened his appetite. He is editor of the Ell
Reno Democrat.

wants no fusion in his, while Forrest 1t
is reported, would encourage, rather than
otherwise, overtures from the Pops, look
ing toward an alliance of anti-Republican
forces.

who earn their bread by doing embroid-
cry of different kinds. When n girl de-
velops a talent for fine work she is al
lowed to devote her time to It. and IS
relieved from the household labor which
might roughcn her hands and unfit

dies OF the American family who for so
many years lived on the island, and
were bcnefactors to the whole p1pu!a-

wOrk-t!ie open-work stockings. knit on
the finest steel needles. and the white
embroidery, unsurpassed In cvennesS
and durability. The cmbrolderers are
faithful copylsts. and can reproduce in

Another industry Is the lace made
from aloe pIth, split Into threads of cx-
