Hiection Day iu pu'usm.

The election in Putnam passed oil quietly. without the least excitement. The Democrats did nothing publicly towards setting out their vote. The Republicans established fheis head quarters in the German building where they instructed, all who desited, In the use of the ballot. Four automobiles wers employed ey them in getting yo. CTS te the polls.
 Up to one o'clock less than 2so votes had been cast, and IL was expected that the vote would be extremely light but . steady stream ef voters eame pouring in during the remaining hours until the polls closed at Ave o'clock, when it was found that the normal number of votes had been cast--a total of S25 votes.
 Nfly votes were thrown out for He gallor. This Is . reduction of 5o per oene ever that at the rcccnt,tcwn cleo ton. Straight tickets cast:

 with reduced majofilics In some in- stances.
 Our thoughtful citizens are not talk ing the general defeat al heart. The election of Judge tsimeon k. Baldwin, head of the Bar Association. guarantees better order of things In the party management, as nothing will be allow ed that is not intended 10 benefit the entire people. Ills influence will be paramount in the councils of his party and is like to induce other able men in the party to join with him in putting 1t on a basis that will deserve the res-
 pect of all classes Of people. A Re- public, io keep wholesome government,
 must have two parties, and If these compete to each show that it Is most
 deserving the esteem and confidence of
 all good citizens, the management of public affairs will be carried on to win

 The same view will be taken by the thoughtful citizens of other Republican l States, where defeat was met. Some
 good will result In this temporary de
 feat of the great party Of the country which has accomplished so much val.

City oourt-Fuller Judge.

Cfty Oourt-Fuitef Judge.
 Walter Smith of Canterbury paid
 the court 8 Saturday morning for eel
 ebrating the day before. He came to
 town 10 buy "some things and got ! something besides the things he came
 to buy. In fact, he forgot all about
 them and did not remember much
 about what happened. He attracted considerable attention about the street,
 got mud all over Lyneh's bright plate
 glass windows by rolling up against them and then grabbed an apron oil
 of woman on N ater street and put
 it over his head to keep his bonnet
 dry. He did not take kindly to being
 arrested and the officer had to have
 the assistance of couple Of young
 men. As he was young man and
 not in the habit of getting drunk, the
 more serious charges were not brought
 against him in the hope that his little experience would be 6 lesson to him. Joe Anton got drunk Sunday and in
 consequence paid the court s Monday
 morning. Joe has appeared at various
 times before the court, and in different roles, sometimes as spectator, some times as a Polish interpreter, and at others as defendant, the last always for getting drunk.
 Patrick QuigIey, who halls from
 New Hampshire, thought that the ss.09 costs should not be added to the
 go days sentence imposed by deputy Judge Geissler, after finding him gull ty on count for drunkenness Tues day afternoon. The reason Quigley gave was because he could not get a drink of water in the lookup. He said
 he had been there all night and all day
 without drink of water. As mat ter of fact he was locked up the same morning ,and appeared in court as though an hour or two more of sleep
 would help him to see things nearer as they were. He will have chance to sleep, and drink nothing but water, until well on towards Christmas.

Tarred Paper on Fruit Trees.

One of the readers of Green's Fruit
Grower wrote Editor Green that he
wrapped the trunks of his orchard
trees with tarred paper to keep
away the mice He left the tarred
paper on all summer, and it kept the
curculin away from the apple, plum
and peach, as he supposed. Two
peach trees not wrapped with tarred
paper were attacked with curculio.
The bark of all the trees is now
bright and healthy after having been
wrapped over year with tarred
paper. He thinks the tarred paper
is a remedy for curculio, for scale
and scorching sun. He asks if it is
safe to continue the use of tarred
paper on his fruit trees.
In his reply, Mr. Green gave a
few points that some of the Western
Farmer readers might profit by. He
said:
There are different grades of
tarred paper. If there is not enough
tar on the paper to cling to the bark
of the trees, l do not think there
would be any danger in wrapping the
trunks of fruit trees with this tarred
paper. but ! would take the precau-
ton of not binding the tarred paper
too closely to the bark of the tree.
1t is dangerous to apply tar, paint
or grease to the TRUNKS of fruit
trees. but what little tar there is
in tarred paper is generally so far
absorbed in the paper as to do the
bark and the trees no injury. There
will be less danger in applying the
tarred paper to trees that have been
planted two or three years than to
trees more recently planted"

The Bright Side Of Apple Growing

The magnificent displays Of west
ern apples and pears at eastern ex-
hibitions or on the eastern markets,
together with glowing accounts Of
large and unfailing crops and sales
at high prices impart to some men
the idea that it is all very easy; that
bountiful crops and high prices fol-
low the planting of our trees in ma
tural sequence. Their point of view
shows no dark side; they are sure
that nothing but perfect fruit is pro-
duced, because they see only perfect
fruits in the markets. They think
insects and diseases are unknown
factors; that the weather is always
ideal and that certain fortune awaits
any one who will plan an orchard
on irrigated ground in the land of
the golden sunshine Our western
fruit, as shown at the big apple
shows. is certainly handsome; it's uni
formity and freedom from blemish
make It attractive and foster the cur
rent notion that nothing but perfect
fruit is produced here in the west.
None but perfect fruit is seen in the
markets for the simple reason that
western growers have thoroughly
learned the lessons through the ex-
pensive school of experience that only
perfect fruit can stand pounding
across 1000 miles of mountain and
plain and arrive at destination in a
presentablc condition They have
learned to keep defective fruit at
home for local consumption or for
manufacture into various fruit pro-
ducts. But the Gull pile is quite as
much in evidence here as elsewhere.
Some growers have but few culls
others many. There is no better in
dex to the care bestowed upon an
orchard than the Gull pile. 1t is
possible to reduce it to very small
factor but quite impossible to abolish
it altogether Fruit Grower.

YOUR SUBSCRIPTION.

We were asked this week by
delinquent subscriber why we kept
on sending the paper after the sub
scription date had expired. Every
weekly newspaper in towns of this
size are forced to do this Should
we stop subscriptions when time ex-
pires. nine times out of ten the
subscriber would give us a calling
down" for insinuating that his credit
was not good. Rather than to cast
reflection against the honesty of a
subscriber to pay a small debt, it is
next to a necessity for a home paper
to continue sending the paper after
the time has expired. It is not nee
essary for the city dailies or weeklies
to follow this rule as their subscrib-
ers live at a distance and are not
personal friends as in the case with
majority of our subscribers. Our
subscribers should deem it an honor
to know that we do not doubt their
integrity and continue to send them
the paper after their time has ex-
pired.

of her experiences she exclaimed;
g I've seen women murdered just as
much as If their Threats had been
cut. I've seen them suffer knowing
that there is no turning back AMI
that there is no one to lean upon.
That is the sad story Of a once
beautiful girl reared amidst the re-
fnements of a southern home, and
whose brief career has been tragic
failure because of her craving for
excitement and her distorted views
of life. In this story. which differs
from many others only because OF
the once social prominence of the
young woman. there is that which
should prove a sufficient warning to
many a girl, whose impressibleness
is liable to lead her to form wrong
views of life and to become the
victim of a stronger will.

Halley's Comet Is Not Dangerous.

SPOKANE. Feb. Forecasts
by so-called scientists in various
parts of the country that the gases
in the tail of Halley's comet will
presently poison mankind or cause
other calamities may properly be
termed high pesssure hot air cur
Father Adams, S. j., professor Of
astronomy at Gonzaga college of Spo-
kane, made the foregoing observation
in referring to statement attributed
to observations in California and
elsewhere.
"Haley's comet has been sizzling
around its ordained orbit century
after century. just as its creator de-
signed it to be- said Father Adams,
adding Were there any devasta-
ting elements in the appendage Of
the visitor, humanity would have been
exterminated regularly every rs
years.
1T seems that such incidents in
earthly affairs would naturally attract
some attention. They might even
have a slight tendency to affect the
increase of population and check the
progress of human events generally
Very little suspicion along this line
is sufficient antidote for sensational
predictions as to Halley's comet,
even though they are made by alleged
scientists"
Father Adams claims he has def
nitely located the comet. having seen
it through a telescope the night of
February %, saying:
1.-THE moon is so bright just now
that it is difficult to catch the light
from anything else, but the comet
showed fairly we'll There we're little
streaks out from the edges that

The comet may be visible to the
naked eye early in March at the
speed it is travelling, but not sooner
To locate it, take the line formed b,
the lower stars of the constellation
Orion and follow it north to poin
just above the planet Saturn. Oh
that line above and slightly west o
Saturn the comet should be found
but not without at least four-incl
glasses"

THE REASON OF IT.
(Nampa Herald)

One great reason why mail order
houses flourish and cut into the bust
ness of local merchants anywhere is
their lavish expenditure for adver-
Using. The amount they spend for
such a purpose is well nigh fabulous.
But it is true economy for the re-
sultant returns fully Justify the out
lay. large as it may be. The lesson
it teaches is that most home mer-
chants. if they want to successfully
meet the competition of mail order
houses, must take a leaf out of
their book and meet them on their
own ground by proportionate
amount of advertising The whole
secret is acquainting the public in
the most catching way with the quail
ity and variety of goods one has to
offer.

HASTINGS A GOOD MAN.


The Teller today prints announce
ment that Mr. c. A. Hastings is a
candidate for reelection as treasurer
of the state and has pleasure in
recommending this Lewiston citizen
to the good offices of the Republican
part. There is every. reason why he
should be reelected. The Office
that Mr.. Hastings has held with
credit to himself and the state is
not one that calls for brilliant poll
tician. 1t requires a man of sound
business principles and honorable
character. These qualifications Mr..
Hastings possesses, and the record
of his work is the best proof of his
ability. Like all men in public office
who do their duty, Mr.. Hastings has
won his enemies, but the hostile
criticism that has been aimed at him
is obviously of the factious sort and
lacks intelligence. The work of the
state treasurer calls for experience,
and in re-electing Mr. Hastings, the
people of Idaho will be assured that
a competent man has charge of the
office.
