THOSE PICNIC AND SPEAKING DATES


There seems to be pretty well an I'M
amlmous conclusion reached since
that season is aboutoyer now. that
some better system should prevail in
another political year with reference
to the arrangements of plcnics at
which the candidates wcro supposed
70 be present and speak. AS it was
this year each community tanned
loose ard announced picnic without
much dnowledge of where and when
others were to De heli, watch brought
about several conflicting dates. TIE
Herald would suggest That in the late
Spring OF next campaign year Q9l5),
say about May. thasa County Conven-
ton he called, at which there be rep
resentatives from each hamlet IN the
county, and a6 which the candidates
also all be present (they will pretty
well all be announced by them and
that slate of picuics be arranged
for in which each community re.
presented be given date and the
dates left sufficient with so ne open
time between to allow for few more
hamlets who had not then determined
on such public day. Then that at
say some three or four central places
certain candidates be assigned time.
and the other places, thus dividing
up, SO as to moo have too long speak
ing programs at any one place and
yet provide opportunity for each Of
flee to be heard in each section of the
county but not necessarily in every
hamlet or community of the county.
Then let this slate be published in
tie Herald all in one bunch of dates.
stating what candidates and what
offices they We're for, would speak at
each place. If this plan commends
itself to the people and politicians,
the Herald will yield space free to
make the call for such a convention
when the proper year and season
shall have arrived. We notice that
IN q good many of the counties
OF the state u h IL D an or
someth n & k II to t, h s
prevailed for several campaign years
and seems to have met with satisfac.
tion. The candidates and commu
mites could enter into writter agree
ment to observe the order OF dates
and places to avoid any confusion or
bad faith, thus giving all an equal
chance and escaping the burden of
going hther and thither without
much previous certain expectancy
These are some points put to
gether into this article not in die
tatorial spirit but as suygest tory;
possibly they may serve as nucleus
from which to draft a complete plan,
and 10 none of it do we lay any
particular claims to originality, as
pretty well all of it is derived matter,
assembled by us in such shape as we
think may apply to this situation,
but tina Herald is not specially at
tached to any OF it nor inclined to
make hobby out of it. Let the
people in convention declare a pan
if they want any other than the
loose one ready in vogue.

HEALTH HINT FOR TODAY.
No Set Rule For Sleep.

The amount Of sleep required
varies so much with each indi-
vidual that no rule can be given.
Some persons find six hours
sleep enough to keep them in ex-
cellent condition physically and
mentally, and others need ten
hours to get the necessary rest.
One person can do the best work
Of the day during the early
morning hours, and the next per-
son can accomplish twice as
much by working from 6 to IL
o'clock at night. 1t is well to
accustom oneself to being in
control Of the brain action as far
as possible and to avoid con-
forming to set rules. but person
al idiosyncrasies are not always
easy to overcome, and each one
must be a law unto himself in
such matters. If you feel bright
er and more fit In the evening
and can accomplish better work
you had better arrange your af-
fairs so you can give your indi-
vidual attention to your duties
during the evening hours.
