Why Do So Many People Spend FooliShly?

Why do people buy things they do not actually need, or spend money for pleas ures that they could as well-and often bet ter forego7 Certainly in the great majority of cases, it must be for the lack of thought fitness and the force of wasteful habits

the primary there ls put AtSAS NAotS i' terest shown in the various contests In the state and county than was obsery- able week ago. Dr. R. M. Cunningham and B. B. Conner, candidates for governor, are on the home run, and each Is making hard light. They have led strenuous lives for the past two months and have spoken in almost every county of the state. MT. comer's supporters are making claims of large majoritles pr. Cunning hams friends are more conservative in their claims and would be satisfied, ap- parently, with from 10000 to 15,oOo ma- jority.
 There seems to be a wide difference or opinion as to the vote in many counties of the state and an unusual number are being placed In the doubtful column by both sides. All this leads the conserya- tive observer to the conclusion that the vote will be close.
 Lieutenant Governor. The race for lieutenant governor Is also offering some little interest and the three sided fight lends a condition of uncer- tainty. The three candidates for this place are all popular in the state and all are making a strong fight. The candidates for this office are Henry B. Gray, D. J. Meadow and Emmett O'Neal. The race offering the greatest interest in the state outside the race for gov ernor. perhaps, is that for alternate sell ator Two are to be elected, with seven in the field.

deputy, at Its head
The selection of General Picquart
for the portfolio OF war minister Is
regarded as an audacious stroke on
