j. J. Regain is getting nice
notices for his candidacy for
county superintendent of schools
from the newspapers all over the
county. Mr.. Regain is a fine
man personally, has good edu-
cation, plenty of native ability,
and has had years of experience
in educational work SO that he
fully deserves all the nice things
that are being said OF him. In.
Mr.. Regain the county has an op-
portunity to secure, an entirely
competent superintendent. He
is of a very active disposition and
will take delight in visiting the.
schools Of the county and he is
thoroughly posted in educational
work so that he will be able to
carry on all likes of the work with
profit to the teachers and the
people Of the county generally.
AS the primaries draw nearer
it begins to be very evident that
Register Of Deeds Matt Phibbs
is going to win out handily in his
contest for a denomination. The
only argument that is being ad-
vanced against Mr.. Phibbs is
that he has had the Office long
enough. It's true that he has
held the Office quite a while but
during the first years the office
was a fruitless one, the fees
hardly being enough to pay ex-
penses, so that Mr.. Phibbs now
stands really in the position of
simply asking for a second term.
His efficiency and the very capa-
BILE way in which he has managed
the office have won him hundreds
of friends and most Of them will
be at the polls to say so.
The Turtle River Independent
and Pine Tree announces it's sup
prrt of John Gibbons for county
attorney as follows:
The independent has and
always will be, in favor Of
electing good men to a public
office. The Office Of county
attorney is an important one
and everyone knows that
John +. Gibbons : fitness for
That Office stands without a
doubt. His strongest sup
porters are members of the
bar. He is an attorney by
nature. Vote for him for
county attorney.
The air is full of rumors of
"dirty politics" to be attempted
at the last moment. So far as
the Pioneer is concerned there
will be none of this being simply
to present the qualifications of
the various candidates to the
people and leave them to make
their own decision in each in
stance, without slandering any
candidate.
The progress Of the campaign
for register of deeds in the Black
duck country is thus noted by
the Blackjack Times:
The old friends of Matt
Phibbs for register of deeds
are rallying to his support
stronger than ever, and claim
he will win the nomination
hands down.
And as to the Judge Of Probate
the Times says:
NJ. A. Clark has an op,
ponent for Judge Of probate,
but the former has made a
good officer, and given such
good satisfaction that there
is no question as to his re-
nomination.

Emergency Medicines.

1t is a great convenience to
have at hand reliable remedies
for use in cases of accident and
and for slight injuries and all
ments. A good liniment and one
that is fast becoming a favorite
if not a household necessity is
Cham berlain s Pain Balm. By
applying it promptly to a cut,
bruise or burn it allays the pain
and causes the injury to heal in
about one-third the time usually
required, and as it is an antisep-
tic it prevents any danger of
blood poisoning. When Pain
Balm is kept at hand a sprain
may be treated before the in
f1amation sets in, which insures
a quick recovery. For sale by

the animal to become accustomed to

should be we'll equipped for concerts or
theater-going, as we'll as for quiet even
ings at home.
OF the two blouses shown in our
sketch, the one on the left is the more
suitable for smart occasions, since in
addition to its elbow sleeves, it is cut a
little low in the neck in that pretty,
round Shape which is always so becom-
ing to a young girls figure. This blouse
should be made either in white or in
cream soft satin. according to whether
it we'll be worn with white or cream
colered skirt. The satin is cut as if for
low bodice, and then arranged with
gathers and box plears upon lining of
soft batiste, covered with Valenciennes
lace and insertion.
From under the lace, round the upper
part of the bodice, the lining is cut away,
so that the lace is left transparent, but
BILE to cold this need not be done, as the
bodice is quite sufficiently smart if the
lining reaches all the way up. A pretty
arrangement consisting of small straps
of stitched satin, fastened with tiny gold
buttons should be noted, as it helps to
hold the box pleats in place. The elbow
| sleeves are box pleated in the same way
as the bodice itself and finished very
prettily with frills of Valenciennes lace.
The deep waist belt should be of Louis
inc silk ribbon, and can be either white
or colored as preferred.
The second blouse, of which we give
an Illustration, is most successful ex-

which is nevertheless smart enough for

TIME FOR WEAVING COLTS,
How to Bring the Foals Through ai
Serious Period of Existence /
with Perfect Success.

The season for weaving foals Is at
hand and it is time to make preparation,
therefor, if such preparation has not all
ready been made. The colt should be-
taught to eat grain and be fed regularly
SO that it will learn to depend upon the
feed rather than upon its mothers milk
Under such conditions there will be
much less fuss on the part of both mare
and colt when the latter is finally re-
moved, and the change will have less
effect upon the growth and condition OF
the colt, as it is extended over long
period and effected gradually, says the
Prairie Farmer. /
1t will be we'll, too, to have the colt
halter-broken before it is taken away
from Its mother. At no time can it be
more readily taught to stand tied or to
lead than when by the side of the dam.
Even II the colt is to run loose in a stlad
or box during the winters until it is old
enough to work, the halter breaking at
this time should not be neglected. The
colt Will never forget it and when ready
to go into harness will be much more
tractable because of the early lessons.
Again, it is often necessary to handle
the colts during their growing period
for the purpose of trimming the feet or
dressing wounds that have been acci-
dentally inflicted and in such cases it
Is very great advantage to have them
well halter-broken.
The colt should be literally fed on
nourishing, growing food during its first
winter, as its development the first year
determines largely the kind of horse
it will make. After the first year it will
get along very well on coarser and
cheaper feed than some other kinds of
stock, but it should have of the best
during the first year.
While it should have liberal grain
ration the colt should not be fed too
much corn. Muscle and bone making
feeds such as oats and bran are better
suited to its needs. A mixture of corn,
oats and bran make an excellent grain
ration for the colt. With good clover
or alfalfa hay for roughage, the bran
may be dispensed with, and a larger
proportion of corn used with satisfac-
tory results.

SO much dependence placed upon their
efforts.
The national managers have learned
that the establishment of rural free
delivery and the extension of sub
urban trolley systems have been the
greatest aids in the dissemination of
general knowledge in the past ten
years. They have aided in the polit-
ical education of the country by Civ
ing the rural population daily mails,
and of this the national committees
have taken due advantage. They send
out daily brief pamphlets ON political

men can read in a few minutes. They
have corps of newspaper writer's at
headquarters, who furnish to the
smaller daily newspapers editorial
matter and news letters of political
character, SO that the claims of each
party are constantly before the eyes
Of the public. The public is closer
reader than ever before, and for this
reason has about made up its mind
on political questions before the cam
paign orators swing around the circle

girl, as being shades that are sure to be
becoming, and also to look we'll at
night.
The little space left open at the neck,
above the vest of mirror velvet, is filled
in by transparent chemisette of finely
tucked white silk muslin. This blouse
is arranged in quite new way, with
number Of flat pleats on the shoulders,
the sleeves being draped round the arm,
and reaching only to the elbows, where
they are finished with killed frills OF
plain white silk muslin to match the
chemisette. A pretty waist belt of soft
white satin completes this blouse, drawn
down to long point in front and fas-
tened on one side with small rosettes,
made to initiate the leaves of flowers,
and wired invisibly to keep each separ-
ate piece in shape.
An embroidered silk frock for small

same idea might also be expressed very
successfully in soft cashmere, for win

ming carried out in silk braid, and
matching exactly the color of the CASH

might be replaced by tucked or gath
cred chemisette of soft silk, arranged
in the same shade of color as the waist
belt, which might either contrast with
the cashmere, or match it, as preferred

rather voluminous cuffs, turned back or
falling over the hands; these cuffs are
generally of contrasting fur or embroid-
cry OF some bright color. The much
trimmed fur coat is a notable feature
J of the early autumn fashions.
And now to tell you of the favorite
SKINS Chinchilla almost threatens to
outrival Russian sable, so popular has it
become; but we may put these two furs
first on the list. Caracul in black, white
and gray will struggle for popularity,
all black and all white being the most
popular. Moleskin is somewhat at dis
count, though it is still used for beauti-
full coats, lied or trimmed with ermine.
The latter fur will be almost as much
used as chinchilla as a trimming for
glorious opera wraps, and mink, too, will
be used for the same purpose, as well
as for day wear.
Among the lesser furs, musquash IS
being dressed in a new way to resemble
sealskfn, and Russian fox is wonderfully
initiated. Bear, too, hear, will be used
IN various forms, and pony skin. for
motor coats, has been brought to perfec-
ton by means of dyeing and dressing.
We now have it in lovely soft tones of
brown and gray. and it is cosy to the
touch-very different from the ugly
Whitey-brown color and harsh texture
OF the motor coats OF two or three win
tiers ago. In fact, SO beautiful has pony
skin become that it may be made into
delightful three-quarter coats and worn
with plain cloth skirts of the same
shade.
There will be the usual rage for white
fox, which is SO extraordinarily becom
ing to some people. Sealskin. mixed
with ermine, will have certain share
of popularity.

In locating a poultry plant it Is a

the north side if desired. An old or

able as a run for growing stock. An
other excellent plan is to have houses

may be moved from one side to the

hurrah of such demonstrations are re-
served for the last few weeks or
days before the election. Twenty or
30 years ago, and even before the
war, there We're months of campaign
excitement, and political gatherings
were held throughout the country,
where issues were fought over, pre-
scented and refuted, and the voters
talked to for the purpose of CONVEX

So far this year it has been dem
onstrated that the voters of the coun
try take little interest in the public
addresses, and in the old-style ''joint
debates" by means of which political
doctrines were formerly disseminated.
1t has been demonstrated that these
only attended public meetings who
are interested in sending noted men,
and hearing the oratory of noted
speakers. They do not attend to hear
arguments, and care little for what
is presented on either side. They go
to public meetings to be entertained
and diverted. This change has been
fully grasped by the political man
ayers OF the two great parties, and
they are directing their efforts to edu-
cate the people by other means. They
have not abandoned altogether the
public gatherings, the barbecues
marching clubs and torch-light pro
ceSSions, but provide for them more as
a means Of exciting public interest

that for simple drinking purposes wa

that the children be irrigated with
