Why We Are Stronger.

The old Greeks and Romans were
great admirers of health and strength;
their pictures and statuary made the
muscles of the men stand out like
cords
AS a matter of fact we have ath-
letes and strong men-men fed on
fine strength making food such as
Quaker Oats-that would win in any
contest with the old Roman or Greek
champions.
It's a matter of food. The finest food
for making strength of bone, muscle
and nerve is fine oatmeal. Quaker
Oats is the best because it is pure, no
husks or stems or black specks. Farm
ers' wives are finding that by feeding
the farm hands plentifully on Quaker
Oats they get the best results in work
and economy. If you are convenient
to the store, buy the regular size pack
ages; if not near the store buy the
large size family package.

Deeply Interested.

The play was one of Shakespeare's
tragedies. Mrs. Simmons and her little
boy, having been unable to secure
seats in the parquet. were well located
in the front row of the first balcony,
where they could see better and hear
almost as we'll as if they had been
farther forward on the main floor.
Mrs. Simmons was agreeably surpris-
ed at the interest that Bobby appeared
to take in the somber drama. He sat
leaning forward. with his elbows on
the cushioned railing in front of him,
resting his head on his hands, deeply
absorbed. AS the curtain went down
on the first act he Strengthened up.

the following account of the death of
her uncle:
Alexander Fea, ST., for many years a
manufacturer of musical instruments in

the advanced age of 81 years. Mr.. Fea
was born in Falkirk, Scotland, which
place he left at the age of 16 to follow a
seafaring life on merchant vessel sail

He was shipwrecked in the Bay of
Biscay on the coast of Spain in 1885,
returned to England and came to this

COUNTY ELECTION NOV. 9TH
Indications Are County Unit Will
Go Dry.
No Regulation for Country Saloons

The time for filing objections to the
comfy unit local option petition having
expired. the election will be ordered by
the county auditor and held on Nov. 9.
That the county unit will vote dry
seems generally conceded. The ranch
ers, as a rule, favor the closing of the
saloons in the smaller towns, because of
the fact that it is difficult to regulate and
control the saloon traffic where there
are no municipal governments to handle
\ the saloons at close range and to make
proper regulations for their government.
The county local option organization,
headed by A. E. Veatch, of Colville, is
keeping in close touch with the work,
and will see that the vote is gotten out
and every effort made to carry the day.
There will be no let-up in the campaign
until the saloons are voted out.
Whatever argument there may have
been for'licensing of saloons in the in
corporated towns of the county cannot
apply to the smaller towns. This point
is generally recognized by ranchers, and
it is safe to predict that the local option
forces will be successful in their fight.
With the spread of the "dry" move
ment it is evident that the matter of
state wide prohibition will come up at
the next session of the legislature. By
the time the next legislature assemblies
large majority of the small towns OF
the small towns of the state and the
county units will have been voted dry,
and the rural districts and small towns
will combine to dry up the larger cities

UNLESS SHE sWoRE HUSBAND
LIED ON STAND.

Union City, Tenn, Jan. "a sensar
ton was sprung in the trial OF the
eight alleged night riders today when
Attorney General Caldwell recalled
Mrs. Wad Morris, the wife of Wad
Morris. a self confessed night rider
who turned states evidence Mrs.
Morris first testimony was fiat con-
tradiction of her husbands confession.
Wad Morris had sworn that he was a
member Of the night riders and that he
was with the band on the night that
Captain Rankin was killed, but his
wife swore he had not left home that
might and that he was not a member
of the organization. Today Mrs. Nor
ris admitted that she was guilty OF
perjury and that her husbands confess
sion was true one. She declared
that unknown parties threatened to
hang her husband and herself unless
she swore on the stand that Wad Nor
ris had not left home the night OF the
raid.
The woman's confession created
great excitement in the court room
and apparently threw the defense into
. panic.

Cleared His Doubts.

A we'll known English gentleman
engaged q tall and powerful high
lander to act as gamekeeper on his es-
tate. Having been considerable time
ut his post and not having caught
any poachers. the gentleman suspect
ed his gamekeeper Of carelessness.
So one dark night he disguised him
self and went out with gun to poach
on his own ground. He had fired only
one or two shots when he was sud
denly bounced upon from behind and
his gun wrenched away. Then kicks
and blows were showered upon him
until he fell down half insensible.
The highlander then walked away
quietly. and when the gentleman re-
covered sufficiently he crawled home
and took to his bed for two weeks.
He has now no doubts as to whether
tha man can perform his duty or not.
