laporte County Surprised Ev-
en- the Most Enthusiast
tic Liberal.
FLOYD DID NOT SURPRISE
IT WAS EXPECTED THAT THE
COUNTY WOULD GIVE VETS
ABOUT THE SAME MAJORITY
AS RESULT SHOWS,

Indianapolis, May 2S-Although it
was generally conceded that Laporte
county would go wet at yesterdays To-
cal option election. no one. not even
the most enthusiastic wet, was prepar-
ed to hear that the vets had carried
the county by the enormous majority
of 4,427. When the word reached this
city that this was the figure 1t stagger-
ed those who were listening for re-
turns. It had been estimated that the
county would go wet by probably
1000, but it looks like nearly everyone
voted one way. The total vote cast in
Laporte county at the election last fall
was II. $50. OF this number. Cox,
democrat, for secretary of state, got
5.765. and Sims. republican. 5.615.
This made a democratic majority of
$50. In view of the fact that the vets
carried the county yesterday by 4.427.
It seems that party lines did not cut
much figure, and that republicans and
democrats alike, voted wet.
Successful Argument.
The argument that carried the day
for the vets in Laporte county was
that if the saloons were driven out of
the county no more Sunday excursions
would be run into Michigan City by
the steamboat companies in the sum-
mertime, and the city would lose the
$3.50. 600 a year of business that the ex-
cursionists bring to that place. This
is what did it.
Floyd county was expected to go wet
by about the majority it gave, 100.
New Albany held the key to the situa-
ton. Harrison county did as expect
ed, and went dry. thus forcing out of
business. four saloons.
The results Of the local option cleo
lions all over the state thus far prove
that people do not pay any attention
to party lines when it comes to voting
on the liquor question.
Drys in the Lead.
Picking out the counties in which
there have been hard fights at local
option elections. and leaving out those
that were already dry by remonstranc-
es. 1t is found that the drys have been
victorious in Is fights and the vets
have won in 9 of them. OF the 10 that
have gone dry II are democratic coun-
ties and seven are republican. OF the
nine wet counties six are democratic
and three republican. This does not
look much like it is either a republi-
can or a democratic question.

Why THEY SUCCEED.

There Is a disposition on the part Of
many who live in central and eastern
states when they read Of the marvel.
Gus returns secured in the growing Of
fruit in the mountain and Pacific coast
states to attribute them almost en-
tirely to meteorological conditions-tos
sort Of marvellous alchemy Of air and
soil that brings luscious fruit to a per-
feet maturity with little or no effort
on the part Of the grower. There is
no denying that in the territory refer
red to climatic conditions are remarka-
bly, favorable to fruit growing. But
coupled with this favorable environ
ment is given degree Of painstakine
care In the matter Of the pruning and
cultivation Of the orchard and the
spraying and harvesting Of the fruit
that Is an eye opener to any one who
is only familiar with orchard condi-
tons which are to be found In Sec
lions OF many central and eastern
states. The western fruit grower is
largely relieved Of the anxiety Of kill
ing freezes at blossom time, entirely
30 Of hail damage at picking time and
Of the killing OF his trees during cold
winters. and In 80 far fortune favors
him. but his success both as to guam
tity and quality Of fruit Is by no means
q matter Of chance. He makes bust
ness OF fruit growing. attends to his
business inteliigently and carefully
and succeeds. Were the methods he
follows adopted by eastern orchard
lists their apple growing business
would Be revolutionixed.

A Discovery by Chance,

Kindness. One day Il washer,vonan

which Il needle had been careiessly left
had the misfortune To run it into her
hand. The needle broke, and more
than half of it was LETT Undecided in
the tesh. 1t gave her much pain, and
as soon as she could she went to Fini-
guerra'S studio. put down the bundle
OF damp clothes that she was carving
to their owner and asked the artist to
help her. After much patient. careful
manipulation with his fine tools he. sue
The woman thanked him, and as she
lifted her damp bundle to leave the

had received an excellent impression
from 1t. The engraving, like all 9TH
ers OF that time, was q metal plate

as single picture The impression
made upon the damp cloth suggested
to the alert mind of Finiguerra the
possibility OF producing an indefinite

FETCHING EFFECTS IN HAIR.

Beware of Curling Irons if You Wish
Locks to Wave.
American women don't know how to
do their hair" a foreign gentleman re-
marked to me recently when we We're
at the theatcr together.
What makes you say that? Look
at the beautifully dressed heads in

am afraid he is right. The average
girl or young woman. makes IL frantic
attempt to fix her own hair and does
it very badly.
Let me give you Il few hints. In the
first place there is an old fashioned no

that the hair should not be washed
oftener than once in two weeks and
that even this was too much il one

Nothing; is more absurd. The hair
should be washed as often as needed

Is where the emphasis comes in--cvcry
particle Of soap should be washed out.
IAeEc Is only one way i'll which this
can be done thoroughly-by kneeling
in the bathtub and putting the head di-
rectly under the faucet.
1t is the soap that remains in the
hair that injuries it. The washing can
not possibly do it any harm.

curling irons. They destroy the lustcr
of the hair and break it beyond repair.
If you want wavy locks, use one of
the many crilnping pins now on the
market If YOU don't want To wear
them at night, there are some which
will wave the hair in twenty minutes
while you are dressing. You daIuIen
the hair Or, better still, use u little
brilliantine before putting it up on
these curriers'. The whole effect is soft
and pretty.
Now, as to the present fashion of ar
