ion of Judge Robert, E. 'Lewis In the
Federal Courtsin the Denver City

field was the first man of weight to
take it up seriously and Eton the first
public school. In those days scores
were notched upon tally sticks, the
ball had heavy cross seams, the bats
were curved and the fielders stood al
most in Indian file. The early laws of
the game had their inception at the
Star and Garter Inn, Pail Mall, and
one of the few of these original laws
which obtains to-day is that Of the
toss-up. The wickets were 20 inches
high and the bail six inches in length.

CLERK OF BOULDER COUNTY EN-.
JOINED FROM CERTIFYING
ELECTION RESULTS.
DAY SET FOR HEARING
LIQUOR MEN CLAIM LAW is UN
CONSTITUTIONAL BECAUSE I
.--.oF scRiMINATioN.

Denver.-By supersedeas issued
by the Supreme Court Thursday after
noon the county clerk OF Boulder coun-
ty is enjoined from certifying the re-
suits of the local option election held
in North Longmont, precinct "a of
Boulder county, Tuesday the 3rd inst.
The decision emanated from petition
presented by attorneys representing
the liquor interests of Longmont. 1t
Is the intention of the petition to pre-
vent the result of the vote on the To-
cal option question from, being an
nounced until after'the Supreme Court
has had opportunity to decide the dis
puted section of the local option law
which prohibits saloon interests from
calling an election for two years after
decisive vote on local option has
been taken and does not prescribe q
time limit for the opposition.
A few days prior to the election a
petition was filed in the Supreme
Court asking that the county clerk Of
Boulder county be enjoined from pre-
senting the local option question on
the regular ballot, 1t being. argued that
1t was unfair because the vets had
won in an election held last fspring.
The justices decided that the question
involved too many technical points to
be decided definitely at the time and
allowed the election to be held, prom
Using thorough examination. Of the
law and authorities after the election.
The attorneys are given twenty days
to file abstracts and briefs, and at the
end of that time the court will decide
upon the question of granting a perma-
nent injunction against the certifying
Of the election results. Attorneys for
the liquor interests contend that the
local option provision Is 'unconstitu-
tional because both sides are not given
equal rights to call elections. II the
court should sustain this contention,
the decision will probably. ,nullify the
present local option law. i, !.

lively few years ago practically all Of
our home crop of rice was grown on
the Atlantic coast; the methods Of
handling 1t were more or less primi.
tive. tho production small, and the
country was large importer Of rice.
Twenty or twenty five years ago, the
coastal plains lands of Louisiana and
Texas were pointed out as a region for
successful rice culture. They were
used largely as cattle ranges and were
selling at from one to two dollars per
acre. With the Introduction and sue.

Many were pioneers from the great
wheat-growing states due north-Iowa,
Kansas. Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois
and Indiana. They brought south
with them the implements they had
used in growing wheat-the gang
plow, drill. seif-binder, header and
other modern implements-and meth
eds and ideas never before applied to
rice culture, making 1t possible to pro-
duce much larger quantity Of rice

MAINE DEER HOLD THEIR OWN.

James W. Bracket, one of the fish and
game commissioners of Maine, whose
home is in Phillips, recently sent out
from his paper, The Maine Woods, a
query to guides and sportsmen as to
whether or not deer were on the increase.
There has been more or less said on the
subject for several years, many contend
ing that the deer were not holding their
own in the devastating battle waged by
their natural enemies, the wildcats, the
bears and the gunners.
In all, 200 signed statements We're re-
ceived in reply to Mr.. Brackets query.
Of these 101 said deer were not decreas-
ing. That the deer were not holding
their own was the belief of IS, and q
were not convinced one way or the
other. Many guides name the bobcat as
the greatest enemy of the deer. These
fierce providers are about during the sea-
son of fawns, and according to guides
who study all phases of their calling the
yearly slaughter of the little ones is
great. That is one reason given by some
close observers for the noticeable IN
crease of deer around settlement places,
where bobcats are not in evidence.

THE NO-LICENSE CAMPAIGN.

Rev. Frank S. Forbes, or now attorney
F. s. Forbes, has been invited to take
charge of the NoLicense campaign in
Los Angeles county, and has accepted
the call as mentioned in our last issue.
Every precinct in the county, under the
law, is required to vote on the question
of liquor license every two years.
Mr.. Forbes is doubly fitted for the
work, first, by his work in the cause
while minister, and, second, by his
more recent experience as lawyer and
campaigner.
During the past six months Mr.. Forbes
was the organizer of the Lincoln-Roose-
welt campaign and organized over 100
clubs in the county. As is known, they
did not get control of the Republican
State Convention, but they got four out
of five of their planks in the platform.
Mr.. Forbes was for four years the
pastor of the Congregational Church on
the East Side. He resigned his pastor
ate to take up the law and reform work.
He graduated from the law school of the
S. c. University last June and was adj
mitted to practice in the State and Fed
eral courts.
He has opened law Office in the Brad
bury Block with Croft & Spangler.

EASY TO NIX THIS.
Prepare at Home by Shaking Ingredients
Well in a Bottle,

What will appear very interesting to many
people here is the article taken from a New
York daily paper, giving simple prescription,
which is said to be positive remedy for back
ache or kidney or bladder arrangement, if taken
before the stage of Brights disease:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce
Compound Kargon, one ounce; Compound Syrup
Sarsaparilla, three ounces. Shake well in bot
tie and take in teaspoonful doses after each
meal and again at bedtime.
A well-known druggist here at home, when
asked regarding this prescription, stated that
the ingredients are all harmless, and can be OBJ
tanned at small cost from any good prescrip-
ton pharmacy, or the mixture would be put up
if asked to do so. He further stated that while
this prescription is often prescribed in rheu-
matte Affections with splendid results, he could
see no reason why it would not be a splendid
remedy for kidney and urinary troubles and
backache as it has peculiar action upon the
kidney structure, cleansing these most impor-
tant organs and helping them to sift and filter
from the blood the foul acids and waste matter
which cause sickness and suffering. Those of
our readers who suffer can make no mistake in
giving it a trial Al

'No, sir! He never turned hair-Just
