SITKA INDIANS MOST WARLIKE.

and everything about them had it's own
particular ruling spirit. The relics OF
their worship still stand-their totem

strangely carved figures. The Eskimos,
we know are a far different sort, given
to the pursuit of their existence by sim

Keen the Road Drag Going.

Bad roads are an extravaganza that
no farming community can afford.
Just what they cost in unnecessary
expenses it takes but moment to de-
termine.
A team and driver are reasonably
worth So a day, and by the use of
these it is possible to deliver to mar
ket fvom your horne 100 bushels of
corn. Hauling over good roads, the
cost of delivery is cents per bushel.
But If, in consequence Of bad roads,
but fifty bushels can be delivered, the
cost Is doubled and the difference is
what the impossible roads cost you.
Continue this calculation, applying it
to the hauling Of all your crops, and
it quickly becomes apparent that it
amounts to very burdensome tax.
Good roads help in every way; they
promote sociability by making friends
and relatives accessible, and by means
Of them it Is easier to reach the
schools and churches and to generally
co and enjoy the things which make
life really worth living.
Look out for the head lice upon
the chicks. They will soon suck their
lives away II not gotten rid of by
rubbing little coal oil upon the
feathers.
It looks like waste when thinning
the fruit on the trees, but the harvest
time OF larger and better fruit proves
the wisdom Of the course.

.M0GADORE SALOONIST
CONTESTS ELECTION

Akron, Jan. 10.-To contest the re-
cent local option election In the viii
lage of Mogadore in which the "drys"
won out by vote of 6S to So, William
Swope, the only saloonist in the vii.
lage and qualified elector of the
community began proceedings in the
probate court
Swope is represented by the firm
of Rogers e Rowley. He asks the
court to notify the mayor of the viii
lage of his action in contesting and
also require him to put in an ap-
pearance in the court to represent the
municipality not later than 20 days
after January when the election
was held.
In his petition Swope raised an in
teresting question which local lawyers
declare to be the first of it's kind
growing out of the attempt to hold
local option elections.
Swope alleges in his petition that
an election was held in the village

Portage counties. Swope claims the
electors who voted at the Portage
county election also voted at the vii
lage election and that more than one
half of the total votes cast at the
Mogadore election were cast by Por-
tage county residents while the cleo
ton was held under the direction of
the Summit county board of election
supervisors.
Notice of the proposed election was
not posted 10 days prior to the hold
ing of the election, he alleges, in vio-
lation of the law and the election
was not held at the regular place
where municipal elections are held.
He also bases his protest upon
another ground claiming that 40 per
cent of the electors of the village had
not petitioned the council for the priv
ilege of determining whether or not it
should be declared illegal to sell or
dispose of intoxicants in the village.
Affidavit was also made with the
filing of the suit of the intention of
the petitioner to pay all costs Of de-
termining the right to protest.

LOOK FOR A BITTER
FIGHT OVER SALOON

Columbus, Jan. 10.--If the liquor
forces and the Anti-Saloon league line
up in active warfare, as now seems
probable, there is little hope of a
short session of the legislature.
The fight will be very bitter. Al
ready threats are made that detectives
will be on hand to watch doubtful
members of the legislature.
1t is recognized that the liquor in
terests are desperate, and determined
to block any further progress of the
temperance movement. They are very
desirous, also, of a bill that will ex-
clude municipalities from the county
option law. This, especially, the Anti
Saloon league will oppose with all its
influence.
The legislative committee of the
league will meet here on Wednesday
to outline the policy for the session.
This will include greater powers for
county officials in enforcing temper
ance legislation, forbidding the soli-
Nciting of liquor orders in dry" terri
tory, and other Strengthening of ex.
listing legislation.
The liquor men have under con-
sideration a license law providing for
a license commission in each county,
which may not grant licenses where
popular protest is made, and must alb
rogate dicense where misconduct is
shown.

FALSE GIFT Of TONGUES"

One member of the band who went

A year or more ago the movement so

well, they just vanished. We didn't
complain to the authorities, because
we knew pretty well where they had
gone. They are now In harems and

have the real gift, and life was far
more terrible than / can tell you.
Again we went north to Lucknow.
Another girl, Mabel Charles, of New

after we had camped for the night.
There were some wild hill men who
rode down and stopped at our camp.
