Nicholson Is Appointed.

A message to the Democrat from
Philbrook states that Thomas Nichol-
son of that place has been appointed
postmaster at the town Of New Phil
brook. This is the town about which
there has ragged controversy over a
name. The railroad company named
the place Hobson but the residents
around there have taken exceptions
to that name and insisted that it be
called Philbrook The protest of the
citizens was approved at Washington
and although the railway station may
be known as Hobson, the post office
will be Philbrook and it will so ap-
pear on government maps. Mr..
Nicholson's appointment is a popular
one over in the Judith valley and
much satisfaction is expressed at the
action of the post office department
in selecting the name desired by such
a large majority Of the people in that
section Of the county.

Times certainly do change.

Times certainly do change.
There was day in the not too dim
distant past, when the call for a re-
publican convention in Fergus coun-
ty was the signal for one grand rush
among the faithful for places on the
ticket. For each position, there
would be a half dozen or more as
pirants, clamoriously storming the
citiden Of power wherein Jack Waite
and his fellow advisors sat dealing
out words of advice and commands
to the proletariet of the party.
On the night before the convention
in those good old days, Jack would
take up the list Of would-be candi-
dates, pick out those who had been
steadfast in their fealty to the High
Chief, and the thing was settled.
There would be few disappoint-
ments and bit of ungentle slashing
at the polls, but so long as three
fourths Of the voters in the county
were sheep men or their herders, and
so long as the esteemed Fergus
County Argus was the only distributor
of political wisdom CD in the great
Judith Basin, these little defections
were treated lightly.
Good Old Days Are Gone.
But verify, we would reiterate,
times do change. The mutations Of
the passing years were demonstrated
last Friday evening and Saturday.
No longer is convention day the
signal for a rush by hordes Of the
faithful-and hungry. No longer are
the sacred precincts of Genial Jack
flooded by the thrush Of those who
would serve their country-at the pub
lie trough No longer, alas, no long
er.
"Find victim" is now the slogan
Stand not upon the order of your
finding, but find 'em, is now the word
This chase for a victim all of Friday
and Friday night and even up to the
time the convention was called te

that he was about due for a pass in
side the big tent. Inasmuch as no
one else wanted to run, Fred appeared
to have an open field.
Some day, Fred will sit down and
write a brochure on the subject of
"Frankness." Its tenor will be to the
effect that while frankness is an ad
mirable quality, theoretically speak
ing, it is something to be sedulous-
" avoided BY any patriot who is
about to start out on a political
career. 1t is all right for high
private, but for statesman or near
statesman, it is an unsurmountable
obstacle.
1t was while the caucus was in ses-
sion Friday evening that some men,
Der from the country who had not
been properly brought up, said some-
thing about the "ring." Without
stopping to note the effects of his
words, Fred sagely announced there

Der of it and proud of it." A most
painful silence greeted this remark
of Fred's. Likewise, it marked the
end Of the Utican's ambition to be OF
service to his nation by going to the
Legislature. What rum, romanism and
!, rebellion" were to Blaine, was that
one unfortunate sentence to Fred.
When the caucus adjourned well
along toward midnight, things were
in very chaotic condition. Rufus
Thompson was about the only man
they were sure Of and some were
afraid that even he might join the
stampede in the opposite direction
Special committees were appointed to
try, if possible, to locate candidates
and the caucus came to an unsatis-
| factory close.
McKoin Is Chairman.
The convention was called to order
almost an hour late Saturday morn
ing. After Secretary Croft, of the
| central committee, had read the call
a motion was carried that G. E. Nc

We could leave in the broken flakes that we

We could use the process that some others
use-from 8to 20 hours. The process we do use
requires Sc hours But that is what makes Mapl.
Flake what it is.
Our wheat is steam-cooked for six hours.
Then thoroughly cured. Then faxed SO thin
that the full heat of ovens gets to each atom.
Then it is toasted, for 80 minutes, in heat of

The object is to make the starch all digest.

Starch, to be digestible, must be made soluble.
The particles must be separated so the digestive
Juices can get to them. When wheat is half
cooked only half will digest.
That is why we spend the 96 hours. And
why Mapl-Flake costs Is cents.
