CONGRESSMAN ELECT ROBERTS of Utah,
is still long way from his coveted seat
in the hall of the nations law makers.
His defense of his case was weak and
evasive, and he alleged that little CO,
terie Of men had entered into con-
spiracy to crowd his question to the front
and deprive him of his lawful dues.
When his question" came to vote,
however, it was found that 302 mem ers
of congress backed by seven million
petitioners, formed this '1ittle ,coterie, -

HOW TO SWIM.
suggestions That VIII Aid You In
Acquiring the Art.

As an exercise swimming is regard
ed by experts in the care of body and
| mind as superior to any other pas
time that has been devised for pres
ervation of health and the uplifting of
the nervous system. Warnings that 1t
is the duty of every man, woman and
child to learn to swim go unheeded,
and SO the newspapers will continue
to record drowning accidents every
day in which had the victim or the
Onlooker been true to himself there
would have been nothing more serious
to note than an unwelcome or uneX-
pected bath, says the New York Her
aid, which gives the following sug-
gestions about show to SWIM"
To the person of average intelli-
gence half a dozen lessons of from 10
to 90 minutes each are sufficient to
master the art of swimming. The
method Of swimming most easily
learned is what is known as the breast
stroke. In this the swimmer lies fiat
in the water, with head and shoulders
only above the surface. The forearms
and hands are submerged about six
inches, while the body and lower limbs
are in a slanting position, somewhat
farther from the surface.
Before making a stroke the limbs
are extended to their full length. The
first motion is the drawing of the arms
backward in a semicircle a short dis
lance under the top Of the water The
palms should be kept open and down
ward, the entire arm moving back
ward with a slow sweep" This not
only serves to keep the head above
the water line, but aids in propelling
the body
For propulsion, however, the lower
limbs are depended upon in the great
est degree. AS the arms move apart
the legs are drawn up under the body,
with the knees pointing outward at
angles from the trunk. Progression is
made by again extending the lower
limbs until both of them come togeth-
er, the backward sweep of the arms
and the forcing Of the feet against the
water sending the body ahead in de-
gree corresponding to the energy Of
the arm and foot movement.
For beginners at the swimming game
it is advisable to acquire the leg move
ment by holding fast with the hands
to some stationary object before ven
turing to keep afoat. Care should be
taken that the feet do not get above
the surface when making the kick.
This results in what is known as 1.-THE
club foot" and causes waste of ener-
gy as we'll as the making. Of an I'M
graceful swimmer.
After acquiring proficiency. in the
breast stroke the swimmer may devote
attention to various other styles, all of
which have virtues to commend them.

Wheat.

Conditions remain without material
change, says the West Coast Trade. If
anything the situation is less encourag-
ing thau last week, lew points having
been lost speculatiyely, and the local
market holding nominaIIy lie below a
week ago. Exporters are making open
quotations OF 30 IL a. 81 for club and 81
a. 81 l-2c for No, bIuestem, but there
is little if any business doing at that
figure. MiIIers who are forced to secure
supplies to fill current wants are com
PEELED to pay 2@3c premium over the
/ figures quoted, and holders maintain
strenuously the policy Of refusing to sell
No. | wheat for the figures offered. Lack
OF demands abroad continues a strong
characteristic of the situation, and ex-
porters are making few engagements
for spot loading The clearances for the
week, including the Drumlanrig with
%, 0lS IL barrels of flour for Liverpool :;
the Clan Mcpherson, with 55, 1919 centals
wheat in large sacks for Cape Town,
and the Ben Dearg, leave but two ships
loading wheat on the Sound, and with
exports at low water mark. Receipts
also continue at very low ebb, amount
ing to 90 cars, or 90, 900 bushels, for the
week, and for November to $50 cars, or
5000 bushels, compared wit over
1900 900 bushels the same month last
year, when all previous records were
broken.
The most encouraging feature of the
situation is nominal decrease in Ameri-
can visible supplies for the week, though
the total OF So, 600 bushels is still un-
WILDLY, and until stronger export
movement sets III, must stand as bear
factor. The influence of current adj
vices stands against English buyers i'm
mediately forsaking their policy of con.
servatism. With revised Russian esti-
mates increasing the crop of that coun-
try; Argentina still shipping and
promising even a larger crop than the
present, and Australia in the export
column, importers seem to feel that
they are on "easy street." and it will re-
quire considerable development OF a
contrary tenor to shake them from this
position.
Fall wheat in the Northwest has OBJ
tanned strong growth where sown, and
is being well advanced, with prospects
Of heavy yield if no unfayorable condi-
tons develop during the winter. The
acreage viii average prob ably triAe
larger than last year.

To Remove MiIdew Stains.

This is the season when mildew
stains are most troublesome, but they
can be easily conquered even during
the murly midsummer days. To re-
move mildew from linen, mix together
n tablespoonful of soft soap with
enough powdered starch to make it
rather thick, teaspoonful of salt and
the juice of a lemon. Apply to the stain
with a paint brush on both sides of
the linen, and leave the stained article
out on the grass a day and night, or
until the spot Is removed. Repeat the
process if necessary, but one applica-
ton will generally prove sufficient.
After the stain has disappeared have
the article thoroughly washed and
dried.

Lieut. E. r. Stewart was expected
home last week but message ON Fri
day said he could not come. and his
people are anxious to hear the reason
why he was detained.
An item appeared in the New DOMINION
last week saying that you would soon
heye free mail delivery in your town.
How about free delivery OF country
mails? Don't we need it as badly as the
towns? Think Of it; plenty of our far
mers have to go 3 or miles to get their
mail and they can't spare the time and
cut their filth twice a year or make
money to pay their taxes.
Eve beg to state for the information of
our correspondent that nothing was
said about free delivery in Morgantowp,
but there was an article on rural free
delivery which means free delivery to
the farmers only In Morgantown we
can not hope for free delivery until our
postoffice receipts increase some thou
sands of dollars per annum. The notice
to which reference is made means that
Morgantown will be one of the points
from which delivery will be made but
no one in Morgantown will have his
mail delivered free. So far as any one
can see now every resident OF Morgan
town will have to 20 to the Office and
mers in this vicinity will have tn eirs
taken to their door.

Mastod0n MOn0pOlies.

The New York Journal makes the
total capitalization of all the trusts
in the country, May, 9th $7s416,-
235, 779.
Their capitalization in the middle
OF March was over $4,000, 900, 900.
The capital invested in these COM
bines increased over 10 per cent in a
little more than one month.
1t Is easy to say $1,000, 900, 900
But, counted at the rate Of 81 a sec
ond during twelve hours day, it
would require one person 43O years to
count the sum.
1T is sufficient to pay the expenses
of the United States Government for
fifteen years. At the rate earned by
some of the trusts the interest on it
would run the Government forever.
1t Is more than any other national
debt in the world. 1t is seven times
the bonded debt of the United States.
1t is $500 for every family In the coun-

JUDGE MRSTREZAT WINS.
He Gets the Nomination for Supreme
Court Judge.

Judge S. L. Mestrezat, of Union
town, has been nominated by the
democratic state convention of Penn
sylvania as a candidate for Judge OF
the supreme court of appeals of that
state. A number of the friends of
Judge Mestrezat in West Virginia
have been watching the contest over
there for some time and wished they
could go over and help him. The
canvass has closed to their entire
satisfaction.
The nomination for supreme court
judge Is equivalent to an election by
reason of the fact that the two are
to be elected in November and no
elector is entitled to vote for more
than one. 1t is expected that Gov
ernor Stone will appoint Judge Mes
TREAT to the vacancy caused by the
death Of Judge Williams as soon as
his nomination, is certified to the
state department This will create
d vacancy on the bench in Fayette
county and give the governor com
mon pleas judge to appoint. The
governor rendered the vacancy on
the supreme bench to David L.
Watson of Pittsburg and ex Con
gresham Simon p. Wolverton Of
Northumberland, both of whom de
clined He has since held the place
open and there Is every reason to
believe that he will make the Mes
TREAT appointment promptly.

The First Anniversary.

1t is just year since the Chicago,
Milwaukee aud ST. Paul road inaugu-
rated its celebrated Pioneer Limited
passenger train services between Chi
cago, Milwaukee, st. Paul and Mime
apolis. This service marked a new
era in the railway world in the line of
passenger accommodations. At a
cost Of quarter of a million dollars
that progressive company furnished
the travelling public, in its Pioneer
Limited train, comforts and facilities
the best ever produced. This train
has been described many times in
newspapers and magazines, but should
be seen and examined to be appreci-
ated. In beauty of finish, richness
and elegance of furnishing, nothing
equal to it has ever been attempted
by any other road. The car builders
were nearly year in completing the
Pioneer Limited trains (there are
two-one leaving Chicago for the
west and the other leaving the Twin
Cities for the east every evening in
the year, and they stand to-day a
monument to the builders art. No
regular passenger train service in
America is as well known as the Pho
neer Limited. From the standpoint
of passenger traffic the past twelve
months have been most successful in
the history of the st. Paul road, made
so very largely by the Pioneer Linn
tied. The patronage of this service
is striking illustration Of the fact
that the public appreciates good
thing.
