Some of the Winners.

In Weber county the judicial ticket will
probably lead, carrying the county by 100
to 600 votes. Knight viii probably run
ahead Of Bryan. although the latter viii
carry the county by a safe margin. OF
the Democratic county ticket. Sherman S
Smith is sure TO be elected senator over
Rudolph Kuchier. while John l. Herrick,
candidate for long term commissioner. has
things all his own way. The vote on the
other county offices is sure to be very
close.
The candidates on the Democratic judi
cial ticket have the advantage. not only
Of being very strong, themselves, but OF
having opponents who are very weak
Judge Howell next to Judge J. E Booth
of Provo. has the reputation of having
made the poorest district judge in the
history of Utah. People do not believe
that he has the judicial qualifications
from standpoint of ability. learning or
judgment. and his reelection will be op-
posed by many of the leading attorneys
of the district. irrespective of party IL
is said that prior to his election to the
bench Judge Howell had never appeared
before the districs court as an attorney.
On the other hand Judge Richards is one
of the most successful attorneys of Ogden
and fas reputation throughout the state
as lawyer of ability and man of spot
less integrity.

Politics in Decisions.

A factor in the campaign that initiates
against Howell is the charge that he has
constantly allowed his decisions to be in
fluenced by politics The famous confer
ence between William Spry. then state
chairman of the Republican party: AttOr
neg General NJ. A. Breeder and Judge
Howell over the disposition of case
pending in Judge Howells court two years
ago is recalled by the voters of the dis

but also of Spry, now candidate for gov

Two years ago Councilman Fred Cham

ance in office in Judge HQWells court.
The attorneys for Chambers moved for a
new trial and while Judge Howell had

party and Attorney General VI. A Bree-

In reply TO the question Judge Howell
asked the reporter TO go with him TO
club in Ogden. There Judge Howell told
the newspaper man that Spry and Bree-
get him to withhold the decs on in the
case until after election or to decide the
question in the defendants favor. He
said they told him that since Chambers
was a Republican. an adverse decision
might have a bad effect on the Republican
ticket throughout the state Judge Howell
said he was very displeased at the action
and declared he was going to have them
cited for contempt of court.

APPLE SLUMP AN OLD RECIPE.
Dish That Figured often on the

Apple slump is an old-fashioned

TAKES FIRM STAND
General Conference Endors"s Anti

General Conference Endorses Anti
saloon League ana Local option
No stronger statement has ever been
made by the General Conference of the
Methodist Episcopal church on temper
anoe and the prohibition OF the liquor traf-
fic than the one recently adopted by that
body in its quadrennial session at Balti-
more, Md The majority report on tenn
perance, signed by Governor j. Frank
Hanly, chairman. and William n. Ander-
son. secretary, endorsed the Anti-Saloon
League as safe and effective agency.
and urged the support Of local option as
step toward statewide prohibition.
A minority report. signed by number
Of radical Third Party Prohibtionists,
recommended that the endorsement of the
Anti League be eliminated and
that no sanction whatever be given to To-
Cal option. After a stirring debate in
open conference, the majority report, en-
dorsng the Anti-Saloon League and the
local option principle as a means to the
desired end, was adopted by the over
whelming vote OF 200 to 20. The follow
ing sections were included in the general
statement which was adopted:
I'VE stand for the speedest possible
suppression Of the beverage liquor traffic
Under that divine law of absolute right
which is the source of all human law, the
only proper attitude of all civil government
toward anything so harmful as the liquor
traffic is that of absolute prohibition.
1--WE are in favor OF retaining, never
to be surrendered, every foot of territory
which can be wrested from the liquor
traffic as an additional base of operations
for further aggression, which shall not
cease until the world shall know no more
this rime-breeding traffic To this end,
in the light of recent experience, and the
practical results where, according to the
Episcopal Address, States which have
been VIGOROUSLY unfriendly to any tenn
perance legislation, except general license,
have passed local option laws. which have
been accepted by county after county,
until almost the whole state has abolished
the saloon we recommend that our peo-
pie participate in every wise movement
for local prohibition, commonly known as
local option, and then for state prohibition
as preparation for that national victory
which, in the fullness of time, is inevitable
in the final triumph Of right

China in the DINING Room.

In tall dining room, If the plate
rack is filled with bits of china, make
picturesque effect with fancy shaped
jugs or any quaintshaped pieces of
pottery, placed above the doorway
and stain the wood to match other
woodwork of the room. This relieves
the barren aspect of room which is
very high. A low room will appear
neatest If these decorations follow GER
tain lines around the wall and are
not placed haphazard at any con-
venient place 1t is feared that the
dining room will soon have the aspect
of the old-fashioned kitchen, where it
used to be the pride of most women
to have one article of every kind of
tinware hung around the wall. If the
china is to be hung round the wall, 1t
is going to detract a great deal from
the coy apartment. The plate rack
is pretty and the bits of china for the
shelves above the door are not amiss,
but use some judgment in arranging
an artistic effect and not china-shop
display.

Obituary

Frank Guile died at the home OF his
foster daughter in Lakeview Monday.
June g. and his remains were brought to
this city for interment in River Ridge
cemetery by Masonic order.
The deceased was born April 80. 1918.
in Holland, and at the age Of % was
married to Jane Kousemaker, whom he
survived 4 years. | month. 8 days. To-
gether they emgrated to tie United States
in September Of l84Z. after a voyage Of
AZ days on the ocean. Landing at New
York, they settled in Grand Rapids and
after three years moved into Kent county.
where they resided for thirty-one years.
In 856 he joined the Masonic order, be-
ing made Master Mason with several
others in the city Of Detroit and serving
the Lowell order as Tyler for many years.
In 883 moved to Belding united with
the order and was ever worthy member.
serving as Tyler until old age, with its in
firmities, made him unable for the work.
Early in life they belonged to the Dutch
Reform church. Christian principles and
love and charity to all has ever been their
motto, always acting and living it.
No children were born to them, bat they
took to their hearts and home two mother
less ones, one who died Jan. 9, 1898, and
the other one still survives and cared for
him in his declining years. After the
death of his wife, May 80, 1904, he felt
alone in the world, and Feb. | 9, 1905, he
was taken to the Masonic home to be
cared for. but always living more quiet
and palmer life, did not feel satisfied there
and wrote to his daughter, Mrs Johnson,
asking him to come and get him. as he
was so homeslck and wanted to see her.
On July she went after him, where he
has since lived, eyer happy and contented,
receiving all the care and love an own

In February of this year he fell from
his chair and so disabled him that he has
never walked without help since nor used
his right arm, becoming so helpless in
body and mind that he had to be cared
for like baby. But his love for us has
been our reward. never complaining nor
murmuring and always smiling face
greeting us. We can but feel that our
Father, in removing him from US, has only
taken faded flower to shine brighter in
another and better world.
His age was go years, | month, 8 days.

Disagreeabie Women to be pitied
Mrs. J. A Baynton.

D1sagreeable w omen To be Pftted
There is a world OF helpful thought ir
the following, taken from the July issue
of The Designer:
The woman who goes out into a WORLD
full Of wonderful sights and of many
people and, not knowing how to look
comes back with just as little knowledge
as when she first started
The one who complains of being awk-
ward, and yet has never looked out for
the graceful people, that she may initiate
them
The one who talks of seeing disagree
able faces, rude people and unhappness
because she has not looked out for the
pleasant people, the goodness and kind
ness Of the world.
If she would only learn to look, not only
with the eyes of her head, but with the
eyes Of her heart, at the world, she would
find that there is a. blue sky over her
head; that the sun is shining. Then with
the eyes Of her heart look at the worries
and troubles Of other people, and, by
comparison with them, she would find her
own burden so light, and her own back
so well suited to carry it, that satisfac-
ton would come.

The Black Rot of the Grape
BY L. r. Taft

During the last three or four years the
seasons have been very favorable for the
development of the disease known as
BLACK Rot of the grape and in some
sections the losses from this and other
fungous diseases have been very serious.
While the climatic conditions have much
to do with its development, which is very
rapid during warm, muggy weather in
July and August, what is called BLACK
Rot is really caused by the growth with
in the fruit and foliage of a microscopic
fungus, which develops from spores, a
form of seed, for whose termination the
presence of moisture on the grapes or
leaves is required. A certain degree Of
heat is also necessary and the develop
ment will be more rapid if it is seventy
degrees or more.
When the conditions are in any way
favorable, there is always danger of seri-
Gus, If not entire loss of the crop in sec
tons where the disease has prevailed,
even to slight extent, as it has wonder
full reproductive powers. Fortunately,
however, the spores are very delicate and
are readily destroyed Among the most
effectual remedies are various salts of
copper and in actual practice it has been
found that if the vines are kept covered
with compound of lime and copper sui
phate, commonly known as Bordeaux
mixture, the spores will be destroyed and
there will be no chance of loss from this
disease. To be effectual, the treatment
must begin before the grapes have been
attacked, as once inside, the spread can
not be checked. For this reason also, it
is very important that the treatment be
so thorough as to reach every part of
every grape and leaf. After the vines
are in full foliage it is no easy matter to
do this; hence. care must be taken to
avoid rank growth OF the vines, and the
pruning in the spring should be as thorough
as possible without reducing their pro-
ductive capacity. 1t is also necessary to
have the vines well spread out on the
trellises and il the leaves become so thick
as to make thorough spraying difficult or
impossible, some Of the leaves or surplus
shoots can be removed or the latter can
be tied back so that the spray can reach
the grapes. Care should also be taken
when pruning that all rotten grapes be
removed.
Owing TO the variations in seasons and
the extent to which this disease prevails,
no definite rule regarding the dates when
grapes should be sprayed can be given.
II the spray is washed off by rains, it
should be replaced at once and il the con-
ditions during the latter part Of July and
August favor the development of the
disease, it will often pay to give two or
three more sprayings than when it is dry
and there is little rot.
A bulletin giving complete directions
for spraying for this and other diseases
can be obtained by applying to L. r. Taft,

Afternoon costumes are a new de-
parture in picturesque and superlative
chic styles. They are specially de-
signed for the wearer on the same
principle that great portrait painters
insist on choosing the character OF
gown to be worn by the sitter. These
costumes have long trailing skirts,
long tunics, or long skirted coats that
take tunic lines. They fly open from
the shoulders. For the present sea
son they have been of chiffon cloths
and liberty satins. mingled with Greek
nets, while later the same modish nets
and linen or fine duck may be com
bined. For their trimming are used
white passementeries and heavy
braiding, with touches Of raised EN-
broidery in places.-Vogue.
