to plant fresh seeds, but II seed is
properly harvested and cared for many
varieties retain their terminating
power for several years. To keep the
best they should not heat or be ex-
posed to dampness-A dry, moderately
cool, well ventilated place being ideal
Many varieties, like beans, beets, cab
bage, carrots. lettuce. melons. squash,
and tomato, retain their vitality under
favorable conditions for five years or
more Peas four years; corn, onion,
radish and satisfy two years and par
snip only one year Older seeds seem
to push a less vigorous growth each
season. ani hence one Is always surer

many gardeners prefer old seed-lt

not particularly desired but rather

WILSON OFFERS PLACES UNDER
MEAD FOR AID TO HIS
CANDIDACY.
Name Of the Newly Elected Governor
Used to Advance the Seattle
Ex- Senator.

A story comes from Seattle that
John L. Wilson is still making fight
to secure votes for the United States
senatorship. The following is from
the Seattle Press Times and may
prove of interest to the local politi-
clans:
John L. Wilson is pledging state
appointments in return for support
for himself for United States senator.
To at least two men he has offered
places on state boards. guaranteeing
that Governor-elect Mead will APP
point them if the senatorial support
is delivered.
To L. Davies, of Davenport, chair
man of the republican committee of
that county, Wilson offered a berth
on the state board of control in the
event Davies delivered the three Lin
coin county votes to the perennial
candidate. Two at least of these are
believed to be lined up with
Sweeny and the third. Senator Ken
nedy, is a bitter anti Wilson man.
Davies task is to win them away.
The chairman of the Lincoln county
committee met the perennial candidate
in Spokane where the promise was
given and where Davies agreed to
take up Wilson's fight. Davies was
skeptical regarding Wilson's abil-
ity to make the delivery. He was
urged to come to Seattle and verify
the perennial candidates claim.
Davies Has Faith.
In this city Davies saw Mead, but
politicians in Seattle insist Walter
Christian and ]. H. yesterday Of Ia
coma were present during the inter-
view the Lincoln county man had. If
that is true Mead would hardly have
given Davies any promises at that
time.
It is certain that Davies went home
believing the way to a place on the
board of control lay through support
ing Wilson. Seattle politicians be-
lieve that assurances to this effect
came fran E. B. Palmer, chairman of
the republican state committee, who,
while ostensibly supporting Piles, is

STATE FAMOUS FOR INSECT PEST
is FREED FROM THRALL
BY SCIENCE.
Artificial Methods Have Been Adopted
to Rid State Of the Trouble
some Pest.

TRENTON, N. j., Dec. 14.-The
days of the Jersey mosquito are num-
bered. And there are not many of
them, even at that, according to re-
port which Governor Murphy is soon
to receive from State Entomologfst
Smith. Professor Smith has spent
more than three years investigating
and experimenting with the Jersey
mosquito problem. and now believes
that he has secured information which
will enable him to rid the state of the
insect pest which has so long been a
source of annoyance and discomfort.
One important point made in the
reports is that the breeding places of
the insect are not widely scattered,
as has long been supposed, but are
massed. so that work in one locality
will often produce results for miles
around. All of the natural conditions
ton are carefully considered. The
claim that the dragon flies are VAL
liable mosquito checks is not highly
rated, but it is admitted that there are
other insect inhabitants of the pools
and marshes that do much in killing
off the pest. 1t is contended in the
report that little fish. commonly
known as minnows. are natures most
effective check against the mosquito
hordes.
In dealing with artificial methods
of control it is shown how It IS often
possible to take advantage Of the
limitations imposed by nature. The
aim should be to destroy mosquito
breeding places rather than the mos
quitoes that breed in them. Draining
and filling of marshes are the chief
of the permanent measures advocated,
but there are others which are con-
sidered important when these are not
| available or practical.
Nearly the entire Atlantic coast
line, the Delaware Bay shore and
long stretch of the Delaware river
shore have been surveyed, the mos
quito breeding places have been To-
Gated and the measures necessary to
clean them out have been determined.
1t is shown that much progress has
been made and at little expense in
mastering the mosquito problem, and
there is great promise that the day
is not far distant when the state VIII
be almost entirely free from this an
noying and distressing pest.

OLD CHAMPIONS WERE FAST.
Doubtful If Present Day Flyers Are
More Speedy.

CLEVELAND, O., Dec. 14.-Much
has been written of late years about
the great improvement in the speed Of
light harness horses, and it is I'M
questionably true that there is a far
greater number of fast horses today
than there ever was before, but there
is room for doubt whether Major Del
mar and Dan Patch, the present
champions are any faster than the
champions of other days.
The performance of Major Delmar
when he covered mile to a high
wheeled sulky in 2:O7, reducing the
record held by Maud S. by ~ seconds,
offers an excellent opportunity for
comparison.
Without dwelling upon the improve
ment in training and handling, it may
be said that Maud S. made her rec
ord in Cleveland, O., over a track that
was much slower than the Memphis
course where Major Delmar made his,
and in the nineteen years that have
elapsed since Maud S. won her laurels
much improvement is supposed to
have been made in shoeing, balancing
and booting record breakers, and the
harness now used is much lighter than
it was in those days.
In yioyv Of ;,,I; Co.
is it not fair to assume that if Alta
Mcdonald had handled Maud S. when
she was in the zenith of her powers,
with the advantage Of modern day i'm
provements, he could have driven her
mile over the Memphis track as fast,
or faster, than he drove Major Del
mar?
The same may be said of PAGERS.
Star Pointer, in 1897, paced a mile
with the pacemaker at his side in
1:59A, and in the seven years that this
record has stood nearly every aspi-
rant for pacing championship honors
has attempted to wrest the crown
from the great son of Brown Hal, but
as yet none has succeeded
The superior speed qualities of Star
Pointer do not however, rest alone
upon this performance. In Septem-
Der, 1897, in a race with Joe Patchen
at Springfield, ILL.,, he won the third
heat in 2:O0k, which is worlds rec
ord for mile in a race and it will
be time to conclude that there has
been an Improvement in racing speed
when some horse appears with a de-
monstrated ability to surpass these
records.
But as long as they stand it will be
exceedingly difficult to establish the
proposition that We are making great
progress in improving the natural
speed Of the light harness horse.

Man Driven Into Retirement by News.
papers Is Back In the House.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 1.-THE
return to congress of J. Warren Keifer
of Ohio brings again into the lime
light, Of publicity one of the unique
characters in American public life.
He has been in retirement for some-
thing more than twenty years, and
that retirement was brought about by
the newspaper men of the country.
While speaker of the house, he took
the control of the press gallery away
from the standing committee of corre-
spondents, and on important and in
terestng occasions would fill it with
his particular friends. excluding the
newspaper men entirely from watch
ing the proceedings Of the house. The
press committee, of which General
Henry V. Boynton was chairman, took
the matter in it's own hands, locked
the press gallery doors and excluded
those holding cards from the speaker.
This brought on a clash, of course,
and in the next congress Keifer was
rash enough to charge on the floor OF
the house that General Boynton was
engaged in lobbying for a certain
claim and had attempted to bride
him.
General ZoytOn did not rest a
moment under such an accusation,
but secured a resolution of inquiry.
which was adopted over the protest
of Keifer committee was appointed
and Keifer invited to sustain his
charges. which he was unable to do.
General Boynton was completely ex-
onerated, and for having made un-
founded and unsupported charges the
newspapers turned on General Keifer
and drove him out of public life.
Unless he abandons the custom OF
life time, he will appear dressed in
the old time swallowtail coat. relic
of fifty years ago and more. He has
always worn such a coat in public.

VALUE OF COLD WATER.
This Should Always be Taken While
the Stomach Is Still Empty.

One of the most interesting develop
ments in modern medical science is the
certain proof of the immense import
ance of cold water to health, both as
a remedy for and prevention of dis
ease.
But cold water should not be con-
founded with ice water, that is almost
as disastrous to stomach, heart and
liver as a liquor or drug habit. Cold
water of an October morning, just a
crispy freshness about it. but no
shock For drinking purposes water
should be cooled in an icebox, just
bottled or canned, but never with ice
in it, which is unhygienic as well as
unesthetic.
Physicians declare that very few
Americans drink enough water; that
the bad digestions, bad compilations,
bad nerves of our town and city people
are largely due to the result of not
drinking sufficient cold water.
The system demands it's full allow
ance of clear, cool, natural fluid IN
order to do it's work properly, and
breakfast coffee, luncheon chocolate
and dinner cocktails are not only
bad substitute, but worse than none.
When the body is thirsty it is call
ing for water; at least half a pint be-
fore breakfast, another before going
to bed and three half pints during the
day, preferably not at meals.
1t is an excellent plan every morn
ing and night before drinking the
water to rinse the mouth with solu-
ton of warm water and borax. Just
a pinch of powder in a half a tumbler
of water 1t gives the water a de-
licious fresh taste besides sweetening
the mouth, hardening the gums and
cleansing the teeth.
Gives a Hearty Appetite.
A course of this cold water treat
ment is worth trying if just for the
sake of a hearty appetite and rosy
cheeks.
To get the best value of your ef-
fort you should accompany the colo
water drinking with daily cold bath.
The bath should be taken before
the drink, so that there is not the
faintest chance of arresting even the

aiding Wilson in every possible man
ner.
Mead has given out several autho-
rized statements that he will not mix
in the senatorial fight. Despite this
assurance, politicians recall the sup
mort given Mead by Wilson during
the campaign, and those in politics
know that Wilson does not offer his
support unless there is something to
he given, in return. The influence of
Palmer with both Wilson and Mead
is another factor that makes politi-
clans skeptical about the value; of
Wilson's pledges.
Makes Other Overtures.
From the southwest comes a story
that Wilson has made overtures to
George Dysart of Lewis county, offer
ing him a place on a railroad commits
sion if Dysart delivered Wilson the
Lewis county votes. Dysart is an old
member of the Ankeny organization
and has long been close to George
Stevenson There has been some dis
position to splace Dysart with the
Sweeny support during the coming
fight. Whether Wilson could win him
over with a state appointment is
question.
Davies Is out working openly for
Wilson. He wants the place on the
state board of control and became a
candidate for that Office Immediately
after the election The Wilson promise
has made a strong Wilson supporter of
him.
The Lincoln county members of the
legislature were nominated on inStruc-
tions not to vote for any candidate
who was responsible for the defeat
of the last state commission plank be-
fore the last state convention. Davies
explains his support of Wilson on the
ground that the perennial candidate
has since endorsed the ISSUE, and
convention pledges no longer bind the
delegates.

Preparatory Courses Provided.

Pocatello, Idaho, Dec. 5--There is a
large class of young men and young
women in the state who would attend
the Academy if the entrance require
ments did not prevent it. Their oppor-
tunities for acquiring grammar school
education have been limited, and they
feel that they could not pass technical
examination for eighth grade standing.
Many of them, however, of mature age,
have ability to do work of high order
if they could once get started. Owing
to their age and size they will not enter
the public schools to do the preparatory
work which is now required before stu
dents will be admitted to the Academy.
The entrance requirements have been
held rigidly to eighth grade standing,
and many have been turned away who
applied, and very great many more
have not applied for admission. well
knowing that their educational qualifi-
cations would not enable them to pass
the entrance examinations required of
students not possessing eighth grade
certificates
Montpelier examiner. [volume] (Montpelier, Idaho) 1895-1937, 1904-12-09

Largely as a result of these conditions
more than two hundred young people
OF Idaho are attending the schools of
Utah, all of which offer preparatory
courses. Once enrolled and started in
their courses. many of this class of stu
dents remain and complete the work of
the schools with high hCnors.
These young people should have
chance to attend our own schools. To
meet this condition and demand. it
has been decided to offer a preparatory
course in the Academy.
The preparatory work will embrace
grammar, arithmetic, geography, PEN
manship, spelling. and domestic science
for the young women and mechanic
arts for the young men. Entrance ex-
aminations will not be required. The
only provision is that students entering
the course must have attained the age
of sixteen years.
