The man who finds it difficult to
keep a curb on his tongue also will
find it difficult to keep out of the
clutches of the law in Virginia, for
the "anti-cussin' bill, passed at the
last session of the general assembly,
has become an effective law. The
bill is brief, but Enthusiastically clear,
for it says:
IF any person shall, in the pres
ence or hearing of another, curse or
abuse another person or use any vio-
lently abusive language to such per-
son concerning himself or his rela-
tives, under circumstances reasona-
bly, calculated to provoke a breach
of the peace, he shall be guilty of a
misdemeanor, and on conviction
shall be fined not less TINA $3.50 nor
more than $500"

NOT FROM PANAMA.
Ecuador the Home of Popular Straw
Lid Bearing the Former Name.

AAlu NAIC
1t is now generally known that the
Panama hat does not come from PAN
ANA. 1t secured its name through
the fact that Panama used to be the
distributing center of the business.
Ecuador claims the honor of being
the home of the hat, and it is said
that the first one was made some
275 years ago, in the province of
Manavi, by one Francisco Delgado,
writes Frederick ]. Haskin. From
the home of it's origin the hat got
its name as the Manavi hat, name
by which it is still best known in the
regions where it is produced. Peru
and several other South American
countries now make the Panama hat.
The grass from which it is made is
grown in the rainy season in rows,
set in low, wet ground. 1t attains
to height of from five to seven feet,
and is cut before it is ripe.
1t is then boiled in water and
afterward sun dried. After assort-
ment it is ready for use. The best
ibers are selected for the high-grade
hats, and by peculiar manual pro-
cess the fiat blades are made to ap-
pear round like shoestring. Most
of the work on the Panama hat must
be done during humid weather, the
best results being obtained between
midnight and sunrise. From three
to five months are required to make
some of the finest hats. After the
weaving is completed the hats are
washed in cold water, coated with a
solution of gum, and then polished
with dry powdered sulphur.
Most of the braids from which the
ordinary straw hats for men are
made are imported from Japan, Chi
ma and other countries across the
Pacific

That Nothing Can Alter His De-
cision, and Smith Says So, Too.
ATLANTA, Ga.-There was moth
ing to ito those wild political ru-
mors that swept over Georgia follow
ins the announcement of Attorney
General John G. Hart as a candidate
for governor.
Governor Joseph Brown is in the
race to the finish, Ex-Governor Hoke
Smith is in the race to the finish, and
Judge Hart is there for the finish
also.
Those very interesting rumors of
inside political deals whereby it was
stated at one time that there had
been a frame-up for Smith to retire
from the race in favor of Judge Hart,
and at another time that Brown
would withdraw and leave the field
to Smith and Hart-all such rumors
have been effectually laid to rest.
Both Smith and Brown state that
they are in the running until the
end.
In reply to a telegram from The
Douglas Enterprise to Governor
Brown, asking him to wire them that
he was still in the race. Governor
Brown sent the following:
Douglas Enterprise, Douglas, Ca:
Naturally l should have preferred to
make the race without opposition,
but the fact that l am to have three,
or even more, opponents can in no
way affect my duty in the premises,
which is the same now as it was
when l answered the peoples call
two years ago. Of course nothing
has altered or can alter my decision
to make the race again, nor have
any reason whatever to fear the re-
suit of the peoples verdict
JOSEPH M. BROWN"
A Lively Campaign.
With three leading candidates in
the race the campaign assumes added
interest, and from present indications
a lively race is to result, but it will
be without much whoop and crash.
No speaking from Brown, but lit
tie from Smith and not much talk
ing by Judge Hart-that's the an
nouncement so far.
Judge Hart states his chief issue is
peace, and therefore he doesn't eX-
pect to run the risk of stirring up
dissension and strife by overly much
campaigning.

But what was Midas surprise when
all the food he touched turned to
gold, and although he had a valuable
breakfast, as you may suppose, he
couldn't eat a thing! Then when
to comfort him he stopped to kiss her

Western States are linked by electric
railways. These cities have excellent
local transportation facilities, which
have been largely instrumental in the
rapid urban expansion characteristic
of the Far West, and scarcely one of
these electric railway systems stood
still during the recent lean period" :"
Doubtless the great advantage of
the west as a field for investments in
electric roads is the certainty that
population will increase. People do
not want to build roads in communi-
ties where the population has already
reached the maximum. Investors
want to get into regions where the
population will increase, for increased
means enhancement of the
value of their property. Taking this
into consideration Umatilla county
seems a splendid field for electric
road men to enter. The county's pop
ulatlon is certainly sparse at present.

and power plants installed on farms
were very few and far between. A
few adventurous farmers had dared
to harness their mountain pasture
streams and turn their water energy
into electricity for use about the
house and barns; n few more had in
stalled gasoline engines for the same
purpose, These early installations
proved a success from the first and it
was not long before their worth had
been talked and written about until
almost every well to do farmer was
considering the question of a similar
installation.
Aside from the many benefits and
economies of electricity for lighting,
heating and cooking in the farm house
1t readily assumes most of the hard
work about the farm which in the
past has been most discouraging
factor in securing farm labor. Flee
tricity easily does the milking, separ-
ating and churning as well as turn
ing the washing. machine and the
wringer. In the barn it is applied to
feed cutters, corn shelters. feed grind
ers and to all other small machinery,
such as the grindstone. lathe and a
small buzz saw for cutting fire wood
The threshing machine and tanning
mill are very easily belted onto the
portable motor. In Germany and a
few other foreign countries electricity
is also used to advantage to pull the
plows, harrows, rakes. cultivators,
binders, mowers and other outdoor
machinery.
In the house the farmers wife can
have her electric cooking devices
and electric flatlron as we'll as her
city sister.
The number of electrical plants on
farms is increasing with marked ra-
pidity. A few of these plants run by
small water powers, but the majority
use gasoline engines and storage bat
teries. The time Is surely coming
when the majority of farmers will
consider electricity a necessity and
no matter how far they are located
from electric power stations. or power
transmission lines, they will find
means to secure plenty of cheap cleo
tricity. Many OF the electrical engi-
neers of the General Electric COM
pany predict that in a few more
years the electric power lines will ex-
tend out from the cities and large
towns into the highways and byways
of the country where every farmer
can tap the line and purchase at a
very reasonable figure all the power
he requires fer his farm work.

1T is WORTH 1T.

According to the annual report of
the county clerk, published today,
this county has paid out in coyote
bounties during the past year the
sum of s70S. However the county
has received half of this amount
back from the state, as under the
present law the state and counties
bear the expense equally. Therefore
it has cost Umatllla county but 1854
TO fight the pestiferous coyote during
the past year. This money has been
well spent. The coyote is the enemy
not only of the sheepman but also OF
the small farmer. To exterminate the
coyote will not only work for the
protection of the sheep industry but
it will also serve to promote poultry
raising and small farming in general
