of the water is the hardest of all
household tasks.
If the well or other source of water
supply is only few feet from the
kitchen door, the housewife tramps
many, many weary miles as she goes
back and forth, back and forth, car
rying the water necessary for drink
ing, cooking, cleaning, scrubbing,
washing, bathing, and so forth. If,
as is often the case, the we'll or spring
is some distance away, and it is nee
essary to carry the water up more or
less of an incline, with steps to the
kitchen door, the work is increased,
and the task is one which no woman
or child should be called on to per-
form. The hard work of procuring
the family water supply, is. in some
sections of the country, responsible
for more broken-down women and
tired. old-looking children, than any
one other thing.
The farm home. more than any
other, should have n system of water
works. and that 1t has not is more

taken notion that 1t is too expensive,

A MAN WHO KNOWS HIS BUSINESS
ASKS TO Be COUNTY WE|GHER

W. |. Smith, the man who is better
known as Bill Smith, the old cotton
weigher' is in the race this year to
ucceed himself as county weigher
and his name will appear on the dem
ocratic ticket on the md OF August.
Bill Smith has had but one business
for number of years and that one
business has bedn weighing cotton
and other products. He has made a
special study Of his work and there is
not more competent weigher of cot
ton between Oklahoma City and Gal
weston. He has plenty OF opposing
candidates, but their most ardent
friends and supporters say Of Smith
hat he knows his business.
Mr.. Smith is a worker in the Bap-
list church, he is sober and indus
trious, he is pansraking and compe.
tent and his friends urge the farmer
to forget whatever prejudice may eX-
ist against him merely because he
lives in AIdmore and vote for a man
who is competent to attend to their
weighing, who does the weighing him
self and does it at the least expense
to the producer, a man who is on ms
job every minute of the day and who
has given perfect satisfaction since
statehood in that capacity. The busi-
ness of being a weigher is just as diff
ficult to learn as many other callings
and professions. Mr.. Smith has had
twelve years experience and the vot-
er can employ a man with this ex-
perimce az the same price they would |
have TO pay a new man who has it |
all to learn and who will naturally |
make many mistakes while he is ,
learning. The position pays merely a !
living salary and is not so rich a |
plum as to prove such an attraction
to the people.

is a good weigher that he knows his
business thoroughly, that have unlim-

ARE DRIVEN FROM WATER by
SLIME BUT FIND THEM
SELVES UNABLE TO FLY.

The wild ducks of upper Puget
Sound are being oiled to deach
in Orc bay according to the re-
port brought back by John LON
asney of the local weather bureau.
who was cruising there Sunday in
a launch.
This bay is a sort of rendezv-
GUS for the ducks on the Sound
and always thousands can be
found there. Sunday there was
not a duck on the water apparent
ly. On the beach, however, they
were piled up according to Lom-
asney at least half a millioa
strong.
The water in the bay was COW
cred with thick scum of what
seemed to be crude oil of a very
sticky kind.
The ducks flew into this and
got their feathers stuck up 50
they could not fly and then had
to go ashore and waddle abount
until exhausted.
The ground was literally black
with the birds, some dying, some
so frantic that they attacked
everything that came near and all
perfectly helpless.
Where the oil came from Is a
mystery, but it probably ran out
from some big tank near the
Sound.

TIP WR|GHTS' COLuMN /
By Tip Wright

Remember some time ago when
Chas. w. Murphy, noisemaker of
the Chicago Cubs, gave vent to
this statement: Baseball exist
ed before the newspapers sup
ported it, and 1t can get along
without them now. Baseball writ
ers aren't running the National
league"
Just like that.
Now listen to what Thos. j..
Lynch, president of the National
league has to say: when I saw
the baseball writer's around John
Heydler and noted how the boys
liked, admired and respected him,
l said to myself, Tom, here is the
man for you to pattern after
zone reason why, in my opin-
ion, the greatest consideration
should be extended baseball writ
ers is this: they have made the
game. The clever word painters
have kindled public interest and
kept it warm.
Reduce baseball writing to a
dry and businesslike basis, and
nothing but bare description and
bald scores-where would the
crowds be? Cut down to a few
| dyed-in-the-wool fans.
Changes for the better,
wrought through the good work
of the baseball writer's, mark all
departments of the game. The
crowds are fairer, less biased, less
partisan than 90 years ago. Gond
writer's have taught them other
teams than the home club contain
players worth admiring, and to be
more considerate of umpires.

Holder of Marathon Record
Learned to Run From Book

Most athletes forge ahead be-
cause they are well coached and
trained; some jump up suddenly,
because they possess natural abil-
ity. but they are the exceptions.
OF the men who have gained
fame with nothing but ability to
rely upon. Hans Holmer, holder of
the worlds record of 2:32:40 for
the full distance, is the most strik-
ing example before the public.
Holmer has never been system
aticlly trained or coached. He
runs Hike a hydrant, because he
can't help 1t. Two years ago
while in the Canadian army he
CHANGED upon a treatise on run
ming by Geo. Orion, the old Penn
star, who in 1886 won the French
steeplechase championship and IT
more before he was beaten in 1903
by Newton.
This book is the only help Hol-
mer has had. He says he learned
he could run one day when chas-
ing a couple of buck privates in
the gym. They went upstairs and
down, and when they saw Holmer
gaining they took to the open
where the going was bit rough,
|y'know. 1t suited the big fellow
and he collared both.
This gave Homer a bunch he
could outfoot the men who were
harvesting medals at the regi-
mental meets, so he tackled the
best quarter-miler in the barracks
and beat his head off. He had a
bunch then that big men should
keep off the distances.
81 always could run as fast as
can now" he says, land as I never
had any bloomin' coaching,
don't see why l should have any
now"
Holmer is proud of his Tom
Sharkey-like chest and his power
full legs. When he won the At
lantis City marathon he grew
tired of the scenery and enliven-
ed the race by whistling as he
logged along.
Holmer's style looks awkward.
His large feet slap the earth with
a whack. his body keeps an al
most perpendicular position; his
