FOR DELEGATES
To CONVENTION
EVANS FORCES EXPECT TO CON-

But the 6rownIow Faction win Not

Evans ltductS arc FfGR1S0 " S@k
ture the Republican convention Of this
the Seventh Congressional district and
to elect two Roosevelt delegates, who
win De instructed to vote for the re-
nomination Of the President nrst. last
and all the time. This district has
been controlled by the Brownlow fac
ton ever since the factional struggles
within the Republican party began
nearly twelve years ago. 1t was one
Of the three districts in the State
which the Brownlow forces controlled
in the last State convention.
But the Evans people are counting
on every district in the State next
year with the possible exception of the
First. the former Boss own district,
and they may make fight for 1t. They
claim that there is no doubt about
victory in this district where practi-
calIy all of the Brownlow Office hold
ers have been removed TO make places
FOR the followers of the Evansites.
But IL is certain that they will not win
without a struggle. The remains OF
the Brownlow machine in these parts
will exert every influence to prevent
the instructions for Roosevelt and VIII
probably insist on the election and
instruction Of Taft delegates.
The Evans slate is already made
I'D. In the eevnt that they control the
convention they will elect as delegates
from this district Edward T. Gregory
OF Mt. Pleasant and Flournoy Rivers,
of Pulaski Both are well known to
the people of the State. The former
was Republican elector for the state
at large in the last campaign and is
very gifted speaker His wife VIII, las
announced in The Herald Thursday,
be made the next postmaster Of Mt.
Pleasant.
Flournoy Rivers is one OF the most
UNIQUE characters in the politics OF
Tennessee today He was at one time
n leader OF the Democratic party in
his county and represented 1t In the
Senate. A few years ago, however, ne
openly espoused the cause Of Repnp-
iicanism and in the last State conven-
ton was the Seventh district member
Of the committee on platform. Al
though never a believer in "sumptuary
LEGISLATION" Mr.. Rivers signed the plat
form Of the convention which was the
most drastic temperance declaration
ever made by one OF the great parties
Of this state.
The Republicans OF this district are
going TO run Robert A. Haggard OF
wavDe county. for one Of the dele
gates from the state at large to the
National convention. Mr.. Haggard
has also been mentioned as candi-
date for Governor. He appears to be
slated for one Of the delegates by the
Evans faction and will doubtless be
elected:
IT IL understood that R. s. Hopkins
OF THIS county, Chairman Of the local
Republican executive committee, is
also 4 candidate for delegate to the
National convention. However Mr..
Hopkins is a Taft man and for that
reason will not be supported by the
Evans forces.

Gillette's Advice on Codling Moth.

In the apple orchards have visited
even upon the eastern slope in Colo
rado, where it was thought there would
not be an apple, there will be some
scattering fruit, due to late blossoms.
These apples are likely to be destroyed
by the worms of the codling moth,
which must feed upon them in order to
live over for another year. My sugges-
tion is that all having orchards should
collect and destroy all their apples and
pears before July 18th, if they have
only scattering fruit and those who
have too much fruit to think of de-
stroying it all, should spray very thor
oughly. and perhaps go to the expense
of gathering all wormy fruit and de-
stroying It as fast as it appears, in
order to bring the codling moth down
to minimum for next year; and then.
by good scraping, keep it down for all
the succeeding years.

how TO ENJOY OLD AGE.
EDITOR INDEPENDENT:

EDITOR INDEPENDENTS:
1t is now over three years since
have been laid up with nervous trouble
and for the past few months by doing
much work on the farm and trying to
let the other fellow do the worrying. |
find my health much improved.
1t is fact that we must all grow old
and we might as well make the best of
it and grow old gracefully.
AS my health improves and once
more take up the responsibilities of life
more along the mental lines it seems at
times as though have been asleep and
the great procession has gone on and
left me behind.
AS unpleasant as it is have to admit
that l am getting old, and while be-
lieve that l am good for much labor
along gospel lines, still believe
stronger and younger men will have to
take the hard work.
There is perhaps no one thing that is
more universally regretted than old
age. Many try hard to put off its ap-
pearance by the use of hair dyes and
the like, but old age creeps on just the
same.
Try as we may, no amount of decep-
tion will enable US to escape it. Old
age is sure to come and why not well
come it as friend and make the best
. of it? If our life has been filled up with
doing good to our fellow man and we
can feel that we have done some good
in the world. we ought not to be
ashamed of our years or gray hairs
that advertise them.
twenty-five years ago when | arrived
in Delta county, l was man in the
prime of life and since then have done
much pioneer work along gospel lines
in different parts of our state, in Utah.
Wyoming and Arizona, and have many
pleasant memories: have made the U.s.
ual mistakes. Still would not wish to
! forget the fact that the world has re-
ceived some noble impulses as result
of my living in it so many years.
! 1t is said by physicians that our phys
ical strength increases from birth until
the prime of life and then declines until
death. In some respects old age is
sort of second childhood and we all
know that in order to have well de-
veloped, healthy, good natured child. it
must sleep more than the adult. l be-
lieve in like manner those of US who
are imperceptibly growing old need
more sleep than when we were in the
prime of life.
AS our years increase we need more
and more sleep. 1t is now over two
years since my physicians advised me
to 60 to California and thus build up
my broken down nerves. | remained
there over a year. and while in some
respects my health improved. yet there
was the thought that was not doing
myself or any one else any good and so
that kept me in worry. Since my re-
turn about year ago, when l could,
have taken a nap in the middle of the
day and let the muscles relax and |
know it has done me world of good.
In proverbs 1918 we are told That
a merry heart maketh cheerful coun-
tenance: but by sorrow of heart the
spirit is broken
Back in Michigan years ago we had
neighbor that we children loved to visit
for he was so cheerful and would tell
simple stories to create laugh, and as
we sat around the old fireplace eating
popcorn and nuts, listening to the old
mans stories the time to return home
came too soon.

FITTING TIME.

We are rushing about now at our house,
as busy as busy can be;
For some of US head for the mountains.
and some of US head for the sea;
We have filled up the big Saratogas
for Molly and Amy and Lou.
They're stuffed to the brim with crea-
tions-and every one of 'em newt
Pa wanted to cut down expenses, but
Mother, dear Mother, said nit,
For the call of the summer is on US
we must fit, fit, fit!
The dressmaker's working her head off,
to get the last ruffles all done,
For without the glad clothes in mid
season, there's ne'er an engage
ment won;
We are fussing and fretting and fuming
the tradesmen are kept on the go
There's cutting and slashng and snip
ping, and trouble and worry and
woe;
Pa says it amt worth what it's costing
in fact doesn't like it a bit
But the call of the summer is on US
we must fit, fit, fit!
There's a mountain of baggage all
ready. and soon we'll be speeding
away:
It's something to show those old neigh
bors. when your trunks more than
fill up dray!
But the smile that Pa gives is quite
sickly, and think he just muttered
by Heck!'
When Mother said: "Now you be sure,
dear. to send US each day large
check.
He'll be toiling away in the city, meet
ing bills that will give him fit,
But the call of the summer is on US

how The NATIONAL FOR
tSJS SERVE The PUBLIC.

The Use of the National Forests,
a publication just printed by the De-
partment of Agriculture, is a brief,
clear manual for public information as
to the forest policy Of the National
Government.
1t is too true. as the short preface to
the public says, that many people do
not know what National Forests are.
Others may have heard much about
them. but have no idea of their true
purpose and use" 1t is the object of
this publication TO explain just what
the National Forests mean, what they
are for, and how to use them.
In the first place, it is explained how
the forests are created and how their
boundaries are drawn. Next, their di-
rect use and value are shown from the
point of view of the homeseeker. the
prospector and miner, the user of tim
Der. the user of the range, the user Of
water. and other users of forest re-
sources. Third, it is shown how the
forests are intended for use. for the
production of usable products, and for
the establishment and maintenance of
homes: how on all of them the timber r
is protected from fire, the water flow is
kept steady, the forage on the range is
increased and guarded from abuse; and
how. in addition. they serve as great
public Fairgrounds and as breeding
places and as refugees for game. Finally,
the management of the National For
ests is described.
Here it is that the great usefulness
of the forests is brought out most
clearly and strikingly; for the forests
are managed by the people in their
own interests, and every means is used
to meet the desires and wants of all
forest users half way by dealing with
them in the main directly on the ground
and in all cases with the utmost practi-
cable dispatch and freedom from red
tape.
In word, the special interest of this
manual lies in its showing that the for
est policy of the government, both in
principle and in practice, is for the ben
eft of the ordinary man, for the benefit
of every citizen equally. There is still
a tendency to think of the National
Forests as preserves" closed to use,
and to leave the public lands exposed
to unregulated individual exploitation.
Where these misapprehensions still
prevail The Use of the National For
ests" will go far to correct them.
The book is written by Mr.. Frederick
E. Olmsted. whose intimate knowledge
of conditions in the West and the policy
under which the National Forests are
managed fits him to deal with the
subject.

kshenfeitef Ranch Sale Report.

A report is current that the Ashen-
felter ranch near Montrose has been
sold for $2OO,0OO The deal was not
fully consummated first of this week
but negotiations had reached the stage
of making out papers If nothing has
happened to interfere it has probably
been completed by this time.
Negotiations were on last fall for the
sale of this splendid property and it
was reported as having been sold at
one time, but something happened.
Very often 1t requires time and much
fine work to get thru 500, 900 deal.

Boil Drinking Water When Camping.

Every summer thousands of cases of
typhoid fever originate in Colorado on
account of people who are camping in
the mountains drinking water from the
seemingly pure and sparkling streams.
The water has every appearance of
being free from disease, but it is the
source of a large per cent of typhoid
cases appearing during midsummer
and fall. By boiling the water before
using it for domestic purposes will
eliminate the possibility of disease. 1t
is simple and easy matter to boil
water and it is much better to go to the
trouble of doing so than to take chance
of long and serious illness.
Young man did you ever put your arm
around your dear old mother who has
loved and cared for you and tell her
that you love her and are grateful for
the tears she has shed and the prayers
she has offered up for you, asks an ex-
change. She may think that you love
her without assuring her that you do,
but it costs you little effort to tell her
and your words may bring more joy
and sunshine to her heart than you ever
dreamed Of. Some young men will pay
two dollars for a livery rig to ride three
hours with a seventy-tive cent girl and
tell her all the nice things they can
think of that are true, and more that
are not true, and don't spend five cents
or five minutes in a year to show their
old mother that they care anything for
her.

BASE BALL NOTES.

First Baseman Nealon of the Pitts
 burg Nationals has signed his con- tract for the coming season.
 Red Waller. the former Bridgeport pitcher. has signed with the Whining ton. Del. club of the Atlantic league. Niagara university has called oil the base ball game scheduled with Holy Cross in Worcester for April 24. The reason given by Niagara is that an opportunity offered for the addition of games with Yale and Pennsylvania.
 Some New London fans would like to see Jimmie Burns of the Spring. field ball team in the uniform of a Whaler. They aver that Dan O'Neil doesn't need Burns, as Curtiss has the knack of not missing more than half a dozen games in a year.
 Pitcher Cy Parkins, who was sold by the Hartford club to Jacksonville, Fla. last season, will probably play with the Charlerol team in the P. O. M. league this season. Parkins's re- lease will probably be purchased by that club from Jacksonville.
 Manager Harry Durant has sent contracts to the following pitchers. Farley, Treat. Rogers. Voorhees, and Hosarty. He has also signed Yerkes for his pitching stan. With Lachance on first base. Cooney Rice on second. Swander and Nichols in the outfield and McEnroe as a promising young ster, likely to play short. Mir Durant believes he has the nucleus for a strong team.
 Schreckengost. the Philadelphia Athletics catcher. has kicked because he has been paired oil with Rube Waddell. Schreck say that Rube takes crackers to bed with him nights and eats 'em. Not only is the crunch ing sound connected with the eating not conducive to sleeping, but the cracker crumbs do not make the bed a couch of roses exactly.
 Andy Coakley has signed a Cincin- natl contract and has assured the that the terms were sat isfaetory to him in every way. Coak- ley wrote to Manager HanIon that he is feeling better this winter than he has for several winters and felt con- fident that he would be able to de- liver the real goods bearing the same brand that he delivered to the PhiIa- delphia people season before last, when he vas pitching for the Ath- letics.

For team work the Parks have it appar- ently on the other teams. but as the players have been on skates only a few times they are not as fast as some of the other teams in the league. But they have the makings of a irst-class amateur team and their team work Is commendable. The lineup and summary:
