ASKS
NEW DEAL

Here's another direct primary
law complication. Last evening re
publican candidates for the legisla
tive nomination from the Sixth dis
trict got together and drew lots for
place in the filing line July 10. The
result places them in the following
order: F. M. Curtis, j. o. Bailey
c. H. Merriam, j. l. Middlesworth
M. c. King.
Now comes r. E. Buchanan al.
leging that he is likewise a candi.
date from the Sixth and he inquiries
what they know about that. He
wasn't in on the drawing for the
reason that he did not choose to
announce himself until today. If
the others will call for another deal
and let him in on it he will draw
tor place. Otherwise he will do the
best he can against the field.
Those lowest on the list already
drawn might not be unwilling to
shuttle and cut again, but the man
at the top naturally looks with dis.
favor on any such development
Like the Indians he is In first place
and he wants to stay there. The
general opinion seems to be that
since the latest aspirant delayed
getting into the game he should be
left to take his chances.
Mr. Buchanan is an attorney and
resides at E321 Nora av. His main
plank Is that every other candidate
from the Sixth comes from west of

Mrs. Annie Lloyd Bond entertained
delightfully."- Wednesday morning In
honor Of her departing guest, Mrs.
Clifford Foster.
Guests were invited for ten, tables of
bridge whist, and all responded save
four. The tables were placed IN the
parlOr and on the cool, shaded Veranda,
and were filled with q happy throng
whose only regret for the moment was
the thought that IL was probably the
last time they would have the pleasure
Of Mrs. Fosters presence at one Of
their social gatherings.
After q number Of games had been
played, the guests were served with a
luncheon Of delicious chicken salad with
mayonaise, sandwiches, beaten biscuit
and olives. The plates were garnished
with nasturtiums, which gave an added
attraction to the appetizing appearance
of the dainty refreshments. Glasses of
iced tea, with lemon and sprigs of mint,
were also served, and bOn-bon dishes Of
fresh, homemade candies graced each
table.
Mrs. d. M. Lowry was the happy re.
cipient Of the head prize-an exquisite
centerpiece Of Mexican drawn work.
Mrs. b. A. Meginniss came next high
est, and was rewarded with a lovely
scent bottle mounted with a delicate
silver traeery through which the green
glass of the bottle cleaned like emer-
aids. The consolation prize was award
ed to Mrs. J. E. Yonge, who no longer
regretted her bad playing when she be-
came the possessor of beautiful little

For the past several months the
phosphate market has been very qui-
ct, and practically no sales made.
The manufacturers have been holding
off, expecting that prices would de-
cline, and the miners holding out for
better prices, rather than let their
product go at the figures offered. 1t
is scarcely consistent that the factor
les will wait indefinitely to cover their
requirements. This makes it more
than likely that sales favorable to
the producer will soon be made. On
account of the heavy shipments stocks
are not large, the operators being
pushed, in many instances, to fill or
ders already accepted.
One of the new plants of the Hold
er Phosphate Company, at Inverness,
will be ready to commence mining
during the next month or six weeks,
while the second one is expected TO
begin work in about ninety days.
Messrs. Williams and Clark now
calculate turning over their new
washer at Inverness some time this
month, when active mining operations
will at once be started.
In addition to the plants of the Mu'
tual Mining Company at Luraville

pany are now erecting two further

Insomnia is the not uncommon fate
OF the brain worker who after years of
continuous mental strain retires from
active life. The reason is that mental
activity demands a large supply of
blood for the brain, and the blood YES
sells gradually accommodate themselves
to this large supply. But when the
hard work is over the brain does not
always realize that it needs less nour-
shment, and hence the condition Of ex.
cessive mental activity which is what
insomnia is.-London Mail.
