ing TO farmers being busy and many not
understanding nor caring about the new
primary election law. which was given
its first test. One of the surprises of the
election was the strength of W. Il. Conner
OF Marshfield for lieutenant governor.
He ran on the Davidson ticket, and from
returns leads Davidson. Conner is a
millionaire lumberman. who two years
ago was chairman of the Republican state
central committee. He was opposed by

manufacturer. Davidson is serving out
the unexpired term of Gov. La Toilette,
who resigned to become United States

of Speaker Lenroot on the grounds that
Lenroot was an ADLER and stronger man
than Davidson, and would serve and adj

campaign for Lenroot, making many
speeches day.

Pussy Housewives.

The best houSekeeper is not she who
passes the whole day shaving in the
house-'doing the work." she terms it +;
muddling is the correct expression. A
woman with method gets through her
domestic duties, even without the aid
| of a servant, by midday or soon after
and is ready to take a walk, make a
call or two Or rest, comfortably with
a book or her needlework. Her home is
tidy AID she is always neatly and con-
sistently dressed. Meals are prepared
tastefully and economically and are al
ways punctually served.
Although no one enjoys a pleasant
chat more than she does, she avoids
anything like idle gossip, and no one
can tempt her to waste the early morn
ing hours in talking over her neighbors'
affairs.
A good housekeeper also avoids debt.
She insists upon paying for everything
as she gets it and sees that she gets
good value for her money.
A fussy woman may be prim old

For a Cheery Corner.

Hang a wicker basket or china orna-
ment in basket effect against the side
of the house on your piazza, sheltered
from any sudden gust of wind that
might demolish it or scatter the con-
tents. Keep this filled with whatever
hardy garden flowers are in season, and
note how CHEEKY and homelike that
corner seems. Zinias, in their lovely
shades of tan, orange and lemon, with
some of the other indescribable colors
deity introduced for contrast, will give
charming effects, and besides, will last
for day or so without shedding petals.

To Make n Happy Home.

An American writer says You want
to help the man you marry to be fine
and strong and true. Show him that
you believe he has all those qualities.
You will raise his own self-respect and
bring him to the level you tell him he
occupies. Believe in him; be gentle
with him; don't contradict him when
he is tired; let him think he is having
his own way in his own house; feed
him with what he likes and laugh at
his jokes. Herein lies the secret of a
