Friendship warns the heart
of man," No ray of light falls
upon the complicated path of life
with such satisfying brilliancy as
the manifestation of true friend
ship and the frank expression of
appreciation and recognition of
honest effort. Even in the news
paper business there is an occa-
sional oasis in the desert and
while an editor is frequently
found fault with for his many
sins of commission and omission,
there are those who appreciate
his good intentions. An instance
of the kind came to us a day or
two ago. It made the response
bilities lighter, the constant grind
did not seem quite so burden
some; in fact the old conviction
that life is worth living came
back again.

Not a house to rent in Delta
and people clamoring Cor them,
all rooms fitted for light house,
keeping are filled, hotels are
scarcely able to accommodate
their guests; such is the crowded
condition of our little city and
the immigration to this country
has scarcely commenced. One
landlord says his properties do
not pay at present rentals and
that is probably the reason there
is not more activity in providing
additional houses. If such is the
case rents should be increased so
that a reasonable return on the
investment can be realized and
the capitalist thus encouraged to
provide that which we are need
ing so badly. This question is
becoming more and more press
ing each month. Only a small
proportion Of those who come to
US as new citizens are able to
purchase property and the new
conner is reluctant to do this even
if able, as he wishes to get his
bearings and decide if his resi-
dence shall be permanent before
investing his means in this way.
With the active demand that ex-
lists and which is sure to continue
to exist with increasing pressure,
we ought to at least make an ef-
fort to induce those who have
the means to do something to re-
lieve the situation. Delta has
only commenced to grow. We
want citizens, are advertising for
them and doing everything in our
power to get them and yet we
have no place to put them when
they do come.

The Roosevelt Third Term Ma
tional league has been formed in
Chicago and an application for a
charter was made at Springfield.
Edward A. Horner, formerly OF
Leadville, Colo, is the organizer
and president of the league. The
national headquarters will be in
Chicago. Clubs will be organ
lied in every county and city OF
the United States. I'VE aim to
get 5, 900, 900 members, - said MIR.
Horner. 1T is not our purpose
to appeal to politicians. In fact,
we do not want them. 1t is to be
a matter which is to come direct
ly from the people and for myself
l don't care whether President
Roosevelt likes it or not. To my
mind he has nothing to say about
it. The people have absolute and
implicit confidence in him and we
are going to see that they elect
him to a third term.

The Booster Spirit.

When you meet your neighbor
on the street Christmas morning
he will be filled with the Christ
mas spirit. The glow on his face
will bespeak the pleasure he is
taking in the great gift giving
holiday. His hello! Merry
Christmas to you," will be filled
with a warmth Of expression that
will indicate his feeling Of joy and
sladness. The spirit of the day
will be in the ring of his voice,
the clasp of his hand, the smile
on his face. He is at peace with
all mankind; he feels good toward
his neigkbor; he loves his family
with a more intense love; he for
gives his enemies and praises his
friends. He is filled with the
Christmas spirit.

put forth by its citizens toward
acquiring additional population
and wealth to join in the develop
ment of it's resources. There is
not a citizen of Delta but what
will agree to the proposition that
we need more people to take up
and put into use the unoccupied
land. Yes, this is what we want.
No one denies it.
The next question is how to get
them. We have Business Mems
Assn. in Delta. A very large
majority of the business men of
the town are members of this
organization. Each one has a
sincere desire to do something
for the town. Some are willing
to attend the meetings of the
Association and take part in the
proceedings, to offer their opin-
ions about this, that and the
other thing. Others are willing
to attend but are unwilling to
participate. Others do not at
tend at all and leave the work to
the willing ones.
Now, what we want to get in
this organization of business men
is booster spirit. That is the
feel good spirit, the willingness
to take part spirit, the alto
gether" spirit, the give a fellow
credit for doing the best he can
spirit, the whoop-up spirit. The
champion booster is not always
as dignified as he might be, his
grammar may be a little off COL
or, his ideas may need straight
ening out in places, but his heart
is in the right place.
II every one OF the hundred or
more members of the Business
Mems Assn. would get brim full
of the booster spirit. what a work
could be done within the next
twelve months. The shout of a
hundred men can be heard a
greater distance than that of six.
A hundred men, all united, with
one purpose, working systemat-
ically, constitutes a mighty force
for any cause they may cham
pion.
Such an organization we will
have in Delta. We have the num-
bers already, but we lack the
booster spirit to a large degree.
We are going to acquire it and
that right soon. Put it in your
pipe and smoke it.
Help to boost the booster spirit.

The Pure Food Roll Of Honor

GOOD housekeeping, we'll
known household national magazine
voluntarily made thorough exanaina-
ton and test of None-Such Mince
Meat, and placed it without reserva-
ton upon its roll of honor.
In the March number of Good
Housekeeping, in the department of
"Pure Food Assurance, we find:
'None-Such Mince Meat, Merrill.
Soule Co., Syracuse, a semi-moist

This guarantee, which could not be
bought at any price, ought to satisfy
the most particular housewife. The
sale of one million packages a mouth

true. Your grocer sells None-Such.
Try It, and satisfy yourself. You are

Candidate for Nomination for
Lieutenant Governor Has the
Largest Majority
DAHL WINS OUT OVER kEMPF
Final Returns ofthe State Count Shows
Many Surprises Houser is Badly
Defeated by Frear for secre-
tary ofState

Despite the fact that Senator La
Toilette and a portion of his machine
made a determined effort to defeat
the nomination of James O. Davidson
for governor and w. D. Conner for
lieutenant governor, the two candi-
dates swept the state, receiving
larger najorities than did the candi-
dates favored by Senator La Toilette
for other state Offices.
A determined fight, lacking in spirit
and support, it appears, was made
against w. d. Conner, who as chair
man of the Republican state central
committee, sought the nomination for
lieutenant governor. Mr.. Conner re-
ceived larger majority than did Gov.
Davidson, although the vote cast for
the gubernatoria1 candidates was over
$1,000 more than cast for the candi-
dates for lieutenant governor.
1t is now believed because of the
vote Mr.. Conner received in the state
that he will become prominent as a
candidate to succeed Senator Spooner
and if Mr.. Spooner is returned to the
United States senate, then Mr.. Conner
may be candidate to succeed Sena-
tor La Toilette, although the two
until the campaign previous to the
primary election were intimate POI
litical friends, but because of La
Follette's opposition to Davidson and
Connor the relationship may have
changed.
A great deal depends on the atti-
tude which Gov. La Toilette will
take when the state platform is TO be
framed as to how the successful can
didates on the Republican state ticket
will feel towards the junior senator.
Official returns from the state show
the following vote for the candidates
on the Republican state ticket:
Governor Davidson, 1O7, 1884; Len
root, 57,8O1. Davidson's majority,
40, 533.
Lieutenant governor -Connor, 100,-
799; Strange, 1888. Connor's aior-
ity, 1901.
Secretary of State Frear, 5000;
Froehlich, 46,683; Houser, 46,o19.
Frear's plurality, 4,o73.
State Treasurer -Dah1, 43, 1872; How.
land, 10000; James, 1878; Kempf
1,621; Thomas, 2,671. Dahl's plural

Don't Worry; Smile.

Centenarians give various reasons to
which they ascribe their longevity, but
it is significant that they all agree on
the advantage of plenty of work and
little worry in aiding length of life.
The advice lately given by a woman
over a hundred is worth considering,
as she advises one to eat when hungry
sleep when sleepy, with plenty of
sleep, to work constantly, keep cheer
full and avoid worry. This puts in a
few words the doctrine Of the simple
life, and her conclusion is worthy Of
an ancient sage when she says that if
these rules will not produce health and
long life there is bad blood in the
family and it had better die out
Baltimore American.

WEDs IN CHICAGO
Captain W. E. Hill of This City Weds
Miss Ella Hill in Chicago

A quiet little wedding was enacted
last Monday night, when Miss Ella
Hill, Of this city was united in mar
rage to Capt. w. r. Hill, of Kenosha,
the ceremony occurring in Chicago.
The marriage has been kept very
secret and nothing was known of It
until the facts leaked out through a
friend today. Both are we'll known in
this city, Miss Hill up to this year,
having been student in the High
school.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hill LEFT Tuesday
morning for Oregon, and other places
along the sea coast, where they will
spend their honeymoon. They will
return about the first of October, aud
will reside ia this city for the
present.

GET MANY NEW NAMES
Registration in the Wards of ke.
nosha Show That Many New
Voters are in Kenosha
TWO MORE DAYS TO REGISTER

The election officials of the various
wards Of the city have turned in to
the city clerk the lists of voters who
we're registered at the primary cleo
ton, and these lists show that the
voting population of Kenosha is
changing very rapidly. In many of
the wards it is shown that none Of the
old time party men turned out to vote
at the primary and large number of
new names were added to the poll
lists. Many of these people were I'M
known to the election officials, as
they had moved into the wards since
the last city election. The registra-
ton in the different wards on primary
day was exceedingly small, and the
election officials were so busy attend
ing to the red tape of the primary that
they had no time to copy the names
which were on the former lists, and
for this reason few names are on the
lists.
The city has arranged for two more
registration days. One will be four
weeks before the general election,
and the other week before election.
There is some doubt as to the right of
the election officials to copy the old
lists, but as this has been done ia past
years, it will be done again this year,
and all names which formerly ap-
peared on the poll lists will be placed
on the lists again this year. Attor-
ney General Sturdevant has held that
this is not in keeping with the law,
and it is possible that some serious
tang1e may result when the general
election is held.
During the past two years a large
number of foreigners have been
natnralized in this city and county
and most of these men have been
voted with an affaidavit at the city
elections. These names will be placed
on the poll lists by the officials and it
will not be necessary to swear these
votes in atthe general election. The
foreign vote is not expected to be
large at the coming election, as under
the new law foreigners can not be
naturalized within a month Of any
general election and it is thought
that this will make it difficult for
politicians to run in any large number
of this class of voters at the November
election.

FOR POULTRY SHOW
Racine and Kenosha Co. Fanciers Con-
sidering Plans for Joint Exhibition

A movement is being started among
chicken fanciers in Racine and Ken
osha county for the formation of an
association which will have for its
purpose the holding of a joint poultry
show for the two counties. Since the
Kenosha association died a natural
death three years ago, no shows have
been held in this city, but It's thought
that with a union of the two counties
a very successful show could be ar
ranged. The promoters of the scheme
plan to hold shows in Racine and
Kenosha in alternative years. This
plan has been brought up before and
at that time the poultry raisers of this
county did not take kindly to IL At
this time these men seem to be desir-
Gus OF finding some way to show the
fair stock and they are willing to go
down into their pockets and put up
the money to insure the success of a
show. It is probable that a meeting
will be called in the near future at
which time the plan will be taken up
and decided upon.

Sons company are making every pos

out and dredged, but the work has
been found almost impossible on ac-
count of the fact that it is impossible
to get dredges to come to Kenosha.
The correspondence between the

pany has been turned over to the

states that the Kenosha company
should be held blameless from the de-
lay. The company has the promise of

as soon as the work now under con-
tract IN Milwaukee is completed. In
the meantime the people will have to
bear the smell of the dirty river.
