On Monday we quietly watched
the thlckening of rain prospects in
the west and we dared to hope for
a soaking rain. As night ell ID

electrical disturbance and later the
wind came in considerable force and
some time during the night there

some about Dunn. Heavy rains fell

TWEEDY FIGHTS A RUMOR

Benjamin F. Tweedy of Lewiston
candidate for the nomination for gov.
ernor, has issued a statement to the
people of the state saying there is a
rumor that combination has been
formed to bar him out of the race,
and then, assuming that the rumor is
true, he proceeds to lambast his OBJ
ponents or whoever formed the COM
bination, calls them slate-makers,
dirty politicians, designing frame
up to disfranchise the people and
"drive them like cattle"
He says nothing but death can
keep him out of the race now, and
but he is man who will not go in
to any frame-up with anybody, etc.
The rumor he speaks of was never
well founded, and was emphatically
denied long ago. Mr.. Tweedy's ef-
fort reminds us of Jeff and Mutt in
the base ball cartoon of May 2sth,
jeff constituting the rumor and Mutt
Mr.. Twecdy.

IF You USE THE HIGHWAYS

| II you use the highways you mus
expect to observe two sets of laws
the written laws that give the stat,
jurisdiction over your acts. and tn,
unwritten laws commonly called cour
tesies, by which you place yourself
on record as well-disposed person
or otherwise.
II everybody observed the courte-
sizes of the road, if they would do the
things dictated by a desire to make
1t safe and easy for the other fellow
as well as for themselves, there
would be no occasion for laws on the
subject. The laws are still necessary
IN order that unruly people may be
handled when necessary. The man
who spends his time talking about
the lay OF the case shows that he is
dealing with somebody who is unruly
or, ne is planning how to be unrulv
himself and still escape punishment.
A mutual understanding of the needs
OF both parties, meeting or passing in
the road, and common desire to
avoid trouble and accidents, is the
thing most needed, and the changes
OF time and the introduction of new
means of travel, bring up new prob
lens that require study.

mobile have the same rights in the
'oad as any other conveyance, and

There Is no reason why the public

vacations he passed to short illness
and the climax. Preceded only a few
months by his brother, his demise
leaves another vacant chair in the
Kinney homes.
Nor will the relative be the only
ones to feel the pang of loss. Those
who have known him in business will
want to seek his council and will miss
him. Men who have enjoyed a COM
radeship with him will feel drawn to
him to have quiet chat and will feel
the pang and wish that his passing
might prove only a dream
Some men are quiet and thoughtful
In their ways and not many people
get to know them closely until cir
cumstances force their feelings to the
surface. Some men so easily express
their feelings that they always seem
to bubble over with full round ex-
preston of what is uppermost at the
moment, while others who have not
cultivated this power feel more than
they ever express. Such a man is at
a disadvantage with those who have
no way of reading the heart except
by what is expressed in word, and
only those who are close to his daily
life know his real worth.

is the principal reason why there +,
such demand for the annual flowo,
seeds at this time of year. Some per
sons depend entirely upon the flower,
which are grown from seed each wear
rather than upon those which are Of
more permanent nature. The aver
age person does not realize that there
is difference between cultivating q
plant which must make its growth
bloom and seed in one short summer
season, and one which gathers it's
strength one season to expend il in
the next. The former are the condi-
tons governing the ANIMALS; and the
latter, the biennials.

flowers require great deal of water
