]. n. BLAKE CLAIMS
MISREPRESENTATION
u Against a Third State Ticket now
as He Has Been From the
First.

A dispatch sent out from Des
Moines misrepresents the attitude of
J, M. Blake of this city. candidate
for presidential elector upon the
progressive ticket. The dispatch
says:
"Disapproval of the Kenyon letter
was practically unanimous among
the committeeman. j. H. Wylie, of
the Sixth district, believes that
state and congressional tickets must
be named as a result of the Kenyon
announcement. c. E. Hampton, of
Mt. Pleasant, and j. M. Blake, of
Webster City, who were yesterday
quoted as opposing a third ticket.

that Cummins and Kenyon would
take a neutral stand and that as
Kenyon had failed to do SO they

The Poor Farm.

Ellsworth News: We passed the
Hamilton county o farm the 9TH
err day for the first time. Our first
impression Of the place was, that IL
we were compelled to make an ap-
~plication for membership, we'd APP
ply for a stall in one Of the barns.
ITS no crime to be poor, but it's
DANCED inconvenient," would be
proven TO any one who ever took a
glance in that direction. We want
to advise our readers-in this coun-
ty-that If they ever expect to be-
come poor, that they commit a crime
and be sent to the p~enitentiary.
While we have never had the honor
of adorning a cell in FIT. Madison or
Anamosa. we have read a few para
graphs concerning these institu-
tions, and have seen the pictures,
and would say either of them would
be a paradise compared with the
Hamilton county poor house. The
barns, however. are IN fairly good
shape. so the officials cannot be ar
rested for cruelty to animals.

STEEL AND CAST RANGES

There isn't another range made
anywhere, at any price, that will do
such good even baking Is the CLER-
MONT. All the bother and fussing,
all the moving of the tins from
one side Of the oven to the other,
and turning the bread over to make
it bake on the bottom,-all that USE
less nuisance is done away with.
The fues in the CLERMONT dis
tribute the heat evenly to all parts
of the oven. The perfectly proper
toned fire-box meal perfect COM
bustion. All the burnable parts of
the fuel are burned at a high tenn
perature.
People say after they have used a
CLERMONT for awhile that it uses
a third less fuel than other ranges
they have tried.

Mr.. Blake declares he is still OPP
posed to a third state. district or
county ticket and that he win fight
against it until the state convention
at Des Moines on the fourth of mex,
month settles the question. He be-
lieves it a serious mistake and feels
that such a course would cost Roose-
welt thousands of votes in the state.

Notice the CLERMONT range in
the picture. See the windows in the
oven door. Your baking is always in
! sight, and you'll find that a wonder
full convenience. s4
The drop oven door has the strong
est spring Eel put into a range.
You could break it in a dozen pieces.
and still it would work. But it won't
break because it never gets heated
like other springs.
And the big reservoir that never
gets any SCOT on, and that heats
water in less time than you ever saw
it done!
What's the use of fretting your
self away with a poor range? Life's
too short. You'll want a CLERMONT
the minute you've seen it and had
its construction explained to you.

BASE BURNER

Who said it wasn't possible. We
did when a travelling mar first told
us about the CLERMONT. We said
1t couldn't possibly produce as much
heat as he claimed, but he proved it
would and showed why.
The CLERMONT base burner is
the first n we ever saw that was
really different-inside where it
counts.
The experts who will be here dur
ing this Special Sale will literally
take a CLERMoNT base burner all
apart, and show you just as they
showed us, how and why the CLER-
MONT is the most wonderful base
burner made.

MANY MATTERS OF INTEREST DISCUSSED AT MEETING LAST NIeHT--commITrEEs APPOINTED LOOK AFTER In-
 TEREsTs TOWN LEGISLATIVE MATTERS

The chamber of commerce mccting last evening was well al tended and several matters of im- pOriancc to this district were dis cusScd. President Frame was in the chair and Attorney Foster was appointed secretary owing to inc abscnc" of Mr. Slamni.

Eos fer and James Fish were appoint cd by the chair.
 | The statement of Dr. Foster as received over the cable in press idispatchrs lo the effect that one half of the population of Alaska were suffering from tuberculosis was discussed.

The ciIi- zcns. of Valdez believe inc route iO the interior from Valdez pre- Scnis many advantages over all OIhcrS and believe the government different routes to bc made.

The cOmimiicc will work for the routes being surveyed and the adoption of the most practical route by the govern Incni.

SECOND ANNIVERSARY
Observation-Disclosures
FINE PROGRAM BEING ARRANGED FOR
AND REcORD-BREAKING ATTEND.
ANCE EXPECTED.

nose VINO favored the first an
niversary celebration which was
held on the 18th and 10th of last
August, recognized that it was a
big undertaking but the successful
result fully justified the expense
and effort. If we could have such
a celebration as we did last year
in the face of such adverse con-
ditions, surely this year it will be
bigger and better from every stand
point.
The object to be accomplished
by this celebration is not simply
to arrange for three days of roll
licking fun. although there will be
plenty Of amusement, but to .ac-
complish something for the town,
county and western South Dakota.
One CT the attractions for the pros
pective investor will be the display
of agricultural products. The To-
cal real estate men have formed an
association and will erect tenn
porary building for this purpose
alone. The fine display Of agri
cultural products that will be on
exhibition in this building will
speak volumes for the reservation
country.
i The program of sports will be
one of the very best. 1t will in
clude, in addition to the usual
athletic contests. rough riding
roping and other western sports OF
the plains. One Of the features oi
the sport program will be the novel
Indian games participated in by
\ Indians alone and never witnessed
before by the great majority of
whites who will be present. A
good ball game will be a part of
each afternoons attractions. The
game in which the greatest interest
is being taken at present is that
scheduled for the last day between
the Standing Rock and Cheyenne
River reservation teams. There
will also be some good horse rae
ing on the new track which has
just been completed and is already
in fine condition.
i Speakers of statewide promi-
nence will be heard each day and a
band of twenty pieces will give
forenoon and evening concerts and
be very much in evidence at all
other times during the day.
Special attention this year will
be given to the street parade
which will take place each FORE
noon. Just to witness the Indian
riders, arrayed in all their old-tilne
fnery. is sight worth going miles
to see.
