POLITICS UP IN CUNNING COUNTY
Filings for County offices Have
Largely Been Made.

Filings for County offices Have
Largely been Made.
WEST POINT. Neb., July 5.-(Special.) >
Political matters in Cunning county are as
Stunning definite shape for the coming cam
paign. The filings for county officers are
as follows: For sheriff, Matthew Feehan
(dem.). The present incumbent, Sheriff
William Malchow. jr. tdem.), is expected
to contest the nomination. No republican
has as yet filed. The greatest interest
centers in the office of county treasurer.
which will be filled by a new man, the
present county treasurer, Fred Thietje,
having served the statutory two terms. The
filings for this office are: Conrad Gerken
Cdem.), Paul Kase, the present deputy
treasurer (dem.). and Herman Zeplin,
former mayor of West Point (rep.). The
present incumbents of the offices Of county
clerk and county judge are expected to
stand for reelection, and 1t is confidently
believed that Miss Emma r.. Miller, the
present county superintendent Gep), will
have no opposition for a second term, she
being deservedly popular with both parties,
and is conducting her office in an emil
nently satisfactory manner.
Independence day festivities at West
Point were somewhat marred by the cold,
drizzling rain which set in at daybreak
and continued with only slight intermis-
sions until noon. The proposed festivities
at the Riverside park were abandoned and
the celebration was held principally on the
business streets of the city. Hon. William
v. Allen of Madison was the orator of the
day. Judge s. S. Krake presided at the
exercises and A. Ralph Rich read the Dec
laration of Independence.

HARVARD, Neb., July 5.-(Special.)-
Wheat cutting began last Thursday and
Friday by many Of our farmers, and today
would AVE been generally given to the
fields but for a heavy rain amounting to
over two inches that came last night and
yesterday afternoon. The crop is in fine
condition, much above that of last year.
The day is being quietly spent by our
people, as 1t is too wet to farm, celebrate
or go visiting, and stores and business
houses are generally closed.

STROMSBURG, Neb., July 5-(Special.)-
A roOsing celebration OF the national
birthday was held here Saturday. The
crowd was conservatively estimated at
from seven to eight thousand people, and
a program of superior excellence was given.

The amusements consisted of two ball
games, one in the forenoon between teams
from Hordville and McCool, and one in
the afternoon between York and Polk.
A sham battle between Company A, N. N.
G. of York, and a motley array of Indians

ally attractive. Band and chorus concerts,
together with a fine display Of fireworks,
closed the celebration.

votion which has grown in fervor

Woman's Home Companion fol
July.

Woman's Home Companion for July
is a summer fiction number. There are
eight stories in this issue. by Cyrus
Townsend Brady, Marie Van Worst,
Alice Brown. Mary Heaton Worse and
Albert White Worse. Annie Hamilton
Donnell, Annie Warner, and Euphemia
Holden Most OF these are love stories
of the kind the world and his wife like to
read at this time Of year. One OF the
most charming OF them, however, is q tale
of poor Little Helpless Thing, Tin which
a wee baby proves itself the strongest
member of the family. The story strikes
an answering chord in the experience OF
many long suffering parent.
Especially timely are the articles in
this issue on ''July in the Poultry Yard,
by Kate Y. Saint -Maur. The Woman
Camper" "a Charity Cafe Chantant"
and 'The Picnic. Basket"
Kate Douglas Wiggin has a winning
personality, and it never seems 80 evil
dent as when she is at home at "Quill-
cote-on-Saco." A writer in this issue
had the good fortune to see her there
and tell about it in a most interesting
story.
Ideas for summer pillows, crocheting
ideas and new summer recipes. all are
opportune in this issue. An article on
the making of long sleeves from ehort
will be welcomen by many a woman.
In addition to all this, there are the
regular departments: The Fashion De-
partment, the Entertainment Page,
Margaret Sangster's Home Page, Sam
Loyd's Page of Puzzles, advice to the
girl who earns her own living. many
suggestions for fancy-work and cook
cry, and several pages especially for the

"Everybody's"

Everybody remembers the spectacular
visit OF the Kaiser to his ex-Majesty
"Abdul the Damned, as Mr.. Gladstone
once called the Sultan. But it has re-
mained for f. Alexander Powell, recently
an American consul in Turkey, to show
just what the emperors little game
really was. and what came of it. The

EVervbody's Mr.. Powell very entertaining
ly describes how William of Germany,
with an eye to the future, secured a con-
cession that made him ruler OF 1S.6OO
square miles ofTurkish territory. This is
an empire in itself, and it has much to do
with the European feeling that war be-
tween England and Germany is inevita-
ble The Fatherland appears to be en-
croaching upon the patent land-grab-
bing rights of the Motherland. Other
timely topics in this number are Forrest
Crissey's description of the evolution of
the old-time Drummer" ITO the modern
high salared travelling Salesman;
How Thieves Live" a study in the
social side of criminals, by Charles
Somerville. and two remarkable photo
graphic articles. The first of these lat
ter, by J. B. kerfoot, the literary re-
viewer of Life and Everybod.y's, describes
the excitement of going for wild game
with cameras instead of guns. The H.
lustrations thus secured are a valuable
contribution to our knowledge of animal
life, and Mr.. kerfoot's own clean. de-
lightful style makes the whole work
an Illuminating production. The other
Photographic article is a collection of
pictures of children who work, a brief in
troductory paragraph by Charles Ed
ward Russell. How any manufacturer
who sees these pitiful baby faces, aged
by unnatural toll. can continue to profit
from child labor is one of the puzzles of
a commercial age.

She can come to a decision with
out the slightest trouble of reason
ing in it: and no sane man can do
that
Six of them can talk at once and
get along first rate. and no two men
cau do that.
She can safely stick fifty pins in her
dress while man is getting one
under his thumb nail.
She can talk as sweet as peaches
and cream to the woman she hates,
while two men would be punching
each others heads before they had
spoken ten words to each other.
She is as cool as a cucumber in a
half-dOZen tight dresses, while a man
would fret and growl in one loose
shirt.
She can appreciate a kiss from her
husband seventy-tive years after the
marriage has been performed.
She can 90 to church and afterward
tell you what every woman had on,
and in Il few cases can give YOU some
faint idea of the text.
She can walk half the night with a
colicky baby in her arms without
once expressing a desire to murder
the infant.
She can drive a man crazy for
twenty-four hours and then bring
him to paradise in two seconds by
simply tickling him under the chin.

son OF Adam that can do likewise
with her.

The far-reaching Importance OF DR..
Charles W. Stiles discovery OF the

lv recognized. To the South 1T Is a
matter OF supreme signification, and
it is gratifying to see that the press
and our educational leaders are now
no less thoroughly aroused to it's
Importance than our physicians
themselves.
There is indeed great hope for our
Southern country in this discovery.
For generations we have had class
OF people Of the best stock that the
world knows, 'the purest Anglo-SaX-
on blood in America as we have
proudly claimed, and yet strangely
marked by such inertia and un-
prOgressiveness as to excite the com
ment Of all travellers and students OF
society. Travellers from other sec
tions observing them have always
explained the trouble upon either
one or the other OF two theories, both
alike hurtful and discreditablc to the
South. The first theory has been
that these people were hopeless de-
generates, and the second has been
that the climate OF the South was
hopelesslv unhealthy.
DR.. StIes's discovery shows that
neither one Of these assumptions IS
correct. The trouble is not the fauls
either OF our climate in itself or OF
4 - 81, al or f,f n
people. The trouble is Il physical
one caused by n parasite probably
brought over from Africa by the ne
grOea, and which can live only in Il
warm climate.
There is nothing discreditable
about having hOOk-wOrm disease.
The parasite exists i'm the soil and
any person going barefOOted may
become infested. Children Of all
classes are likely therefore to develop
the trouble. and wherever II boy or
girl becomes salIOW-faced, cOlOrIess

simple treatment advised may not

AS soon as the leaders OF the Demo-

one political fight they are ready to
begin another. The talk is that As

appointed by Governor kitchin to
succeed Judge Connor, will be opposed

The Charlotte News says that the
politicians think that with Allen they
can defeat Manning for the Supreme

The signs are multiplying that we
will not always have the paper trust
with us, not because it. is going to be
legislated out of existence, but be-
cause with the possibility of convert
ing cotton stalks and corn stalks into
paper the supply of paper making
material will become so great and
SO inexhaustable, reproducing itself
every year as to render any monopo-
ly of it well-nigh impossible. Expert
ments with both plants are proving
highly successful and it seems that
the time is not far distant when both
these by products will be utilized in
paper making and become valuable
adjunct to the resources of the
country. And one of the good things
about it is that it looks like such use
of them would side-step the pulp and
paper trust. The government will
locate an experimental plant in
Kentucky to show the Industrial

Mt. Olive Tribune.
The great drain made upon our
State for home supplies brought into
North Carolina from other States
should cause our farmers to stop and
consider if there is not a better way
of farming than the one which we are
now following. Several hundred
thousand dollars worth of corn, hay,
meat, flour, wheat and other farm
products brought annually into some
OF our counties and most of it sold
to farmers is the strongest possible
argument that can be made in favor
OF a change of farming methods.
