A young matron in Oyster Bay has
maid who is as original an adept in
matters Of domestic emergency as any
Japanese. A few days ago a. trio of
college girl friends arrived unexpect-
edly to luncheon. The young, house
keeper was in despair.

into the kitchen.
"Oh, don't bother at ALL" said the
quick-witted maid. "Just you 60 sit

You Can Not Get Something fl

Did you ever see one of those dar-
kies who when he went to do hard
job would play little on one side of

side, doing this and that and the
other, and concerned chiefly with
keeping out of the real work just as
long as possible? If you have, you
know how much he Is really worth
when downright hard labor is de-
manded.
Well, we have often seen farmers
who seemed to us to think just like
such delrkies work. They would Won
der and debate over and plan for a
peanut or potato patch, but they
never did a good half-hour's really
horest, concentrated thinking about
their farming as a whole--never con-
sidered the various lines Of work in
relation to each other or to their own
substantial and permanent welfare.
They farmed without plan or system,
with no definite goal in view and,
therefore, no certain course in any
direction.
To succeed at farming a farmer
has got to think, honestly, earnestly,
persistently and bravely. He must,
when he finds a problem that needs
solving, put his mind to work on it
and keep it there until he has master

VARDANiAN DEFEATED.
Greenville, Miss, Man Elected e
Senate.

Jackson, Miss. Feb. 22.-Leroy
Percy, of Greenville. was chosen
United States Senator from Mississip-
pi tonight I'M the 5Sth ballot of the
Democratic caucus, by a majority Of
five votes over Former Gov. James X.
Vardaman. When balloting was re-
sumed today all of the candidates
withdrew with the exception Of Percy
and Vardaman, the vote showing
Percy 81 and Vardaman 50. The
nomination Is equivalent to election.
When the caucus met tonight 1t
was after recess since last Friday,
following announcement by Gov.
Noel that should no election be made
during the present legislative session
he would appoint Gen. James Cor
den, the present temporary appoin-
tee, to serve during the unexpired
term. Withdrawals of the several
candidates having the lesser votes
came fast, Congressman Adam
Burd. John Kyle. and H. H. Street
following In turn, and the fight mar
rowed to the two leading candidates.
The votes controlled by these candi-
dates who withdrew went almost
solidly to Percy, giving him 81
votes to 80 for Vardaman on the first
ballot.
In several respects the fight in
caucus has been one Of the most re-
markable political contests ever held
In the South. From the start parti-
zan feeling has been intense and the
contest early resolved itself into q
factional struggle between the ad-
herents and opponents of the former
governor. Throughout Vardaman
has maintained his original vote, at
times gaining enough to bring him
within few votes Of the goal. How
ever, the majority was always distri-
buted among the other several can
didates. Mr.. Percy retained second
pace also throughout the contest.
When announcement was made of
the result pandemonium broke out
among the large crowds in represent
tative hall a pent up enthusiasm of
weeks was given vent and it was with
difficulty that brief addresses by the
victor and vanished could be heard
above the cheerinp Mr. PERCY DrOm -
ished faithful service, while Mr..
Vardaman formally served notice
that he would be a candidate for the
office at the election two years hence.
The action Of the caucus will be
ratified at tomorrow's session of the
two branches Of the legislature.

IDAHO VALLEYS ARE
SWEPT BY RIVERS
Irrigation Dams and Bridges Being
Carried Away-Train Traffic
Tied Up-To Deaths
Reported

BOISE, Idaho, March 2.-The valleys
of Idaho from the head waters of the
Snake river to the Oregon line and
from the Owyhee to the stricken Occur
d'Alene district, are being swept to-
day by the most disastrous floods in
the history of the state.
All tributaries of the Snake are tor
rents and the river itself is higher
than ever before. Fear is expressed
for the safety of the large irrigation
dams at Minidoka and Miner.
All railroad traffic is at a standstill
and the passengers of six transcon-
tinental trains are marooned at va
rious points along the Oregon Short
Line. Large sections of track have
been washed out, and it may be sew
eral days before trains can be moved.
Meanwhile Boise and other cities of
Western Idaho will be without mail
service.
Two laborers weer drowned at King
hill last night while attempting to save
a suspension bridge over the Snake
river.
The situation at Caldwell and Nam
pa today is much improved, the
waters of Indian creek having receded.
However. both towns are in a sorry
plight. The greatest damage in south
ern Idaho has been to irrigation works,
especially those under construction.

SNOW IN CASCADES
MELTS INTO DELUGE
River Banks Unable to Contain Water
and Valleys Are Flooded-one
Line of Communication
Open to Seattle

SEATTLE, March 2.-Eighteen feet
of snow on the west slope Of the Cas-
cades and eight feet on the east slope
is being changed into water by
warm wind from the sea, and the
rivers lack capacity to carry away the
deluge, with the result that the Wash
ington valleys are overlooked, rail-
roads compelled to suspend business
and bridges washed away by the most
widespread flood in twenty years.
With railroad communication to
Portland cut off by washouts Seattle
today had only one direct railroad out
let to the east, by the Northern Pa
cific main line That outlet, however,
may be closed at any time by the tur-
bulent Green river which is already
threatening to wash away the track.
Thus far the financial loss by the
flood has been small, and the discom-
fort of the evicted dwellers along the
gorged streams is less than during
former overflows. because the rainfall
is light.
There is no storm in sight, and con-
tinuance of the present mild, cloudy
weather, with occasional showers and
high temperature in the mountains is
predicted. A change to freezing in
the Cascades would soon end the
flood. The water will continue to rise
tonight and tomorrow, the weather
bureau expects.
The county engineer estimates the
damage to roads in King county by
the recent storms at $50000. Lake
Washington is very high and all its
low shorelands are covered by water,
notably the suburban town of Atlantic
City, where the people are going about
in boats.
A special from Centralia, Wash.
says: All the business section of this
city is inundated by about three feet
of water, caused by the overflow of
China creek The floods are the worst
experienced in this vicinity for twenty
years.
A landslide on each side Of Cen
tralia has blocked trains in both di-
rections. All the country between
here and Chehalis is covered by a
sheet of water.
Danger of floods in the Walla Walla
valley is believed to be over, as the
streams have been receding since
midnight. The railroad situation re-
mains about the same. The companies
have large crews at work, and traffic
conditions are expected to improve
considerably within the next few days.

FLOODS IN NEVADA
WORST IN HISTORY
Bridges Destroyed and Farms lnundata
ed by Humboldt and Reese
Rivers-8oth Swollen
Beyond Bounds

RENO, New, March Central and
eastern Nevada is experiencing the
worst flood in the history of the state
and reports reaching this city from
Carlin, Battle Mountain and Elko are
to the effect that the Humboldt and
Reese rivers have gone beyond all
bounds, washing away bridges and in
undating the valleys and low ground
from Deeth to Winnemucca.
The Humboldt river at Carlin is the
highest in it's history and is one mile
wide, with the crest of the flood not
yet reached. Five railroad bridges at
Beowawe and Battle Mountain have
been condemned. The steel railroad
bridge at Palisades is in danger.
Western Pacific men at Carlin have
dynamited the ice in an effort to save
the bridge. Reservoirs north Of Elko
have broken and ten feet of water is
rushing down the canyon near that
place.
All ranches on the Humboldt river
are flooded and the cattle are being
driven to the high ground.
Vice President and General Manager
e. f. Calvin of the Southern Pacific,
on his way home from New York, is
on one of the trains tied up at Elko,
and has assumed personal directions of
the forces which are clearing the way.
Mr.. Calvin abandoned the plan to
route the overland trains over the
Shasta line, via Portland, Ore.
Assistant General Manager w r.
Scott maintains that the Nevada line
will be cleared in such a short time
that the rerouting of trains will be
unnecessary. Should such a step prove
advisable, however, the Shasta route
will continue to be available, as there
is little or no snow along that line.
These are small stations on the
desert and the passengers are amusing
themselves with impromptu dances and
other pastimes.
The overland limited train and the
regular overland passenger train on
the Southern Pacific direct route to the
east were detoured tonight by way of
Portland, and over the Oregon Short
Line through Ogden to Chicago.
