Hood MacFaTlane, owner or a large
ostrich ranch near here, is conduct
ing his political campaign along unique
lines. He is travelling through the
country in a light sulky drawn by
huge bird.
While MacFarlane is winning votes
the experiment is proving costly. and
the worst of it is he dare not let up on
his canvass.
The candidate had not been on the
road a day when he came upon
ranchman whose wife was opposed TO
him. She said he was not good look
ing enough to hold Office.
MIR. Mcfarland pleaded with the
farmer, but he replied:
you've got TO win the old woman"
The candidate had noticed that the
better half was casting wistful glanccs
uDon the magnificent piumes which
hung from the ostrich's wings. Lean
ing over the sulhy he plucked the finest
one, and with a graceful bow presented
it to the woman She accepted it, ana
turning to her husband, directed him
to vote for "the most polite Mr.. Mac
Farlane.
Now every woman in the district is
watching for MacFarlane and mis- out
fit, and the candidate says he will be
elected if his supply of ostriches will
hold out.
Upon the size and beauty of wo-
mems hats depends the result of an
election for school director in this city.
Friends of Mrs. Myron Edmonds are
certain she will win, while the adher-
ents of Mrs Flora Jennings declare
Mrs. Jennings cannot lose.
Mrs. Jennings is considered one of
the best dressed women in the state,
and when she appeared at a political
mass meeting with a picture hat it was
agreed that it meant, at least, fifteen
votes. Mrs. Edmonds said nothing. but
on the following Sunday she swept into
church with a lavender hat carrying
plume twenty inches long, That it
was good for twenty-three votes every
body felt confident.
There was no decided change in the
political situation until Monday last
There was a lecture at the opera house
and Mrs. Jennings stood pat on the
picture hat Not so her opponent
Flushed by her victory with the laven-
der creation Mrs. Edmonds had ordered
from Chicago the daintiest little hat
imaginable, in which fall leaves formed
the chief ornamentation. Tally nine
more votes
1t is now talked about on the quiet
that Mrs. Jennings will on this final
week of the campaign wear a differ
ent hat each day. And, considering the
