enonded as he reiterated his statements.
THE south is the best place in the
world in which to make speech, MI.
Shaw said, because the people are 50
ignorant of political questions III Is not
their fault, the burden of the great strug-
gle is still upon them. But Tor all that
nowhere is there greater ignorance nor
greater eagerness to know.
Championing "standpat' methods OF

BEWARE OF STRAW MITE
PHYSICIANS DISCOVER NEW IN
SECT THAT BITES HARD.
Found in Mattresses and Is So
Small as to Be Hardly
Discernible.

Straw itch and the mite that makes it
are publicly in the reports of the marine
hospital service.
This itch is said to be new to American
physicians. It's prevention is a diff
cult problem for those who use straw
mattresses made of straw that is infest-
ed. Not all straw contains these mites,
but when it does, and farm laborers and
city people sleep upon it, there will fol-
low an eruption that is sometimes serious
The marine hospital service gravely de-
clares that the we'll known chigger must
not be confused with the straw mite.
They are of different color and perform
their duties differently. The chigger is a
red insect which bores into the body and
proceeds to chew Justify upon human
flesh until rousted out with a coating of
lard or some grease, which he cannot
stand. The straw mite does not bore into
it's victims, and when discovered on the
body is easily brushed off. 1t is so small,
however as TO be difficult to see

In addition to these games, there will be relay race by cowboys; broncho bust ing, a shinney game by the In dians and the whole affair will be wound up by a grand ball with music furnished by Schone- man and Blanchard's orchestra, of Los Angeles.
 The railroad company is help ing the affair along by making q round trip rate of a fare and one third from points on the Coast Lines.

Unconscious Advertising
Every Merchant and Business Man Does In Some Form
 Or Another Says Mr. Van Camp

Writing in the New York Commercial, Frank Van Camp, of baked bean fame, says:
 'When advertses he is generally supposed to newspapers, magazines street signs blboards, wall signs circulars, to demonstrate samples.
 'In my opinion, every business man, either retailer, obber manufacturer, advertses, but many of them apparently unconscious of the fact.
 "A retailer could rent by having his store in back alley, but wishing to attract the attention of greater number of people, he locates prominent street and charges the general expenses rather than his advertising account where it proper ly belongs When a merchant from a side street to prominent thoroughfare it is because he wants to advertise. When merchant puts sign his door a show window to display his wares, he is advertising When the clerk behind the displays goods that have not been asked for by the prospective customer he is advertising The merchant who removes his business from the country village to the county seat, the who moves from the county seat to the city, the manufacturer who increases his sales force from to ten, the man who extends his business from the local field his state, rom state to the national market has n mind the extension of his field of operation tue seeing and talking with more people-in other words, advertising
 Il say again, every merchant and manufacturer ad- vert1ses and believes Ill advertising, without 1t in some form no business could survive for year.
 Any kind of all announcement by merchant or a manufacturer that he has merchandise for sale trade or indifferent and may be profitable or improbable.

Jap King of Potato Growers.

The biggest grower of potatoes in the world is a Japanese, of Stockton, California. He is known popularly as the potato king. This Japanese, whose name ls|Shima, cultivates as much as 1 1000 acres of the rich tule lands along the Sacramento River in one year. The potatoes there are more or less afflicted with a di- sease known as aspotato scab. The Department of Agriculture made an investigation of this disease through it's experts, and came to the conclusion that the disease could be treated successfully by Immigration of the seed potatoes with formaldehyde. Shima took a great deal of interest in the in vestigation by the agents of the Department, and last season he sent word that he would like to fumigate his seed potatoes. In- quiry being made regarding the quantity he would plant, he re piled, 45,0OO bushels. The De partment sent man to superin- tend the work of Immigration, in order that it might be thorough ly accomplished.

 Now that the league has pass ed the formation stage 1t is ex- pected that the business meu of the various towns named will come forward literally in the support of their clubs realizing that each town will receive liberal amount of advertising out of the games played as well as numerous visitors during the playing season as it is Mir. AL worlds intention to run excur- sions each week to go along with the club thereby giving each town at least two excur- sions month during the scheduled season.

"A Post Card"
Maria Walker Lumbar, Winslow, Ari,

Today 1 received a post card;
 From the Southland far away, A picture of a dear old church
 With it's steeple tall and grey It brought to mind my childhood This quit, peaceful scene As 1t nestled there among the
 trees,
 With their stately branches I heard the sweet toned bell ring
 out,
 On the Sabbath morning air, And saw again, the loved ones Gathering to worship there, 1 looked within, the minister
 Was kneeling down to pray And all the congregation too,
 In the good old fashioned way l heard that grandeSt Ot all hymS, Jesus, Lover-of My Soul, And grandpa's rich and mellow
 bass,
 Above the organ roll. It seemed the veil was lifted,
 From the many, many years, But ah, 1 can write no more
