GERS for the ensuing year in the fore

Both Mills and Ward were elected

these two officers was all the bust

then decided to continue the ballot
ing into the afternoon, completing
the election of officers before select
ing city in which to hold the 1913
convention.
Edward Leach Of New York City,
was reelected grand treasurer by
acclamation.
The claims Of three cities contend
ing for the 1913 convention Of the
Elks were urged before the grand

Ky. It was announced that these
cities would be voted on during the
afternoon as would the remaining Of
ficers, 1t was stated that the results
would not be given out till late this

Following the election of Mills,
Ward and Leach this afternoon, the

Right Time to Cut Glover.

When one-third of the heads have
turned brown, cut the clover. 1t
would make better quality of hay
to cut it sooner, but then there is
greater difficulty in curing it, so
what would be gained by earlier cut
ting, so far as digestble nutrients
are concerned, would likely be lost
in curing Many farmers make the
mistake Of allowing their clover to
stand too long, says James B. Hol-
comb in Farm and Home Some
times this cannot be avoided on ac-
count Of other work or weather con-
ditions. Where this is the case we
have nothing to say, but we want to
urge farmers to make strong effort
to begin cutting their clover in time.
When clover is in full bloom-when
one-third of the heads have turned
brown--it has taken up all the plant
food from the soil and the atmos-
phere that it is going to take up; 1t
contains all Of the nutrients It ever
will contain
Changes take place within the
plant after the period of full bloom,
and part Of the protein, fats and the
carbohydrates are transported from
the stems and leaves to the heads for
developing the seed. The total
amount of protein, fats and carbohy-
drates is not thereby changed but
they are changed in form and when
stored up in the seed become lost so
far as cattle food is concerned. II
the clover is allowed to get too near
ripe the forage loses food value Not
only does the protein in the stems
and leaves decrease during the seed
formation period but the crude fiber
increases correspondingly and this,
to certain extent interferes with
the digestion of protein and car
bohydrates,

THE CURE FOR INSOMNIA.
Don't Be Afraid; Make Up Your
Mind You Don't Care.

Nt%%NN
Insomnia is almost invariably the
result of some nervous tension or ex-
oitement that forbids mind and body
to relax in slumber. In it's mild
forms l believe 1t is largely a matter
of habit, which people form by lying
awake and thinking after they get
into bed Their cure is that of the
Irishman who said that when he
started to go to sleep he paid atten-
tion to It,"
Too much mental exertion and too
little physical exercise will often
cause sleeplessness A person who
has tendency to insomnia for this
reason should always try to get a
good long, brisk walk in the even
ing. If this is impossible, some Wig
orous physical culture exercise-In-
dian clubs or dumbbells are good
just before retiring will often work
wonders. OF course, we'll ventilat-
ed sleeping room is absolutely nee
cssary for restful slumber
But after all, the most common and
fundamental cause for insomnia is
fear-the dread that we are not 60
Ing to sleep. If tho idea occurs to
you or forces itself upon you that
you are going to lie awake, contra
dict the notion fatty. Assure your
self that of course you are going ia
sleep-that sleep is natural and de-
sirable and that you have right ia
lit.
When you get into bed, relax physi-
cally and mentally Get into a COM
Portable position and lie stlll-don't
toss and tumble about. Keep the
mind quiet-don't allow It to 20 of
on some interesting or exciting train
of thought; simply lie quiet and wait
for sleep.
But, of course, there are cases
where the nervous tension is so In
tense that mind and body absolutely
refuse to be soothed into this SLEEP
inviting attitude.
If you find yourself in this condi-
tion, don't try counting sheep or re.
citing poetry; such expedlents only
increase the malady by keeping the
mind on the thought of sleeplessness
The grand remedy for sleepless.

MILAGE BOOKS
ARE GOOD ON
ALL The ROADS

Railroad companies operating in
this state have filed with the railroad
commission the tariffs for the inter
changeable mileage books which
will go into effect August 10.
Some time ago officials represent
ing railroad and transportation lines
in this state, Washington and Idaho,
conferred with the members of the
railroad commission and agreed to
recognize the mileage books of each
other, and the filing Of the tariff is
the result of that conference. Mil
cage books issued by the railroads
will as result be recognized by all
roads operating in the states in ques-
ton, and also in certain portions of
British Columbia.

ness is to give up trying to sleep,
1t won't hurt you to stay awake all
night if you must; you will be sure
to sleep all the better the next night.
AT any rate you can lie and rest.
Get up If you feel like it, get drink
Of water, rearrange your bedclothing.
Make yourself as comfortable as pos
sible.
Now calmly and deliberately make
up your mind to wait for morning.
Let your thoughts wander idly as
they please, only keep the idea Of
rest in your mind as much as possi-
bic There isn't more than one
chance in hundred that you won't
fall off to sleep within Is minutes.

To aid all these harried people in
their effort to escape from the Mos

actions Of the allied Balkan powers.
Their motives are, it is asserted,

have never been the field of much al

asking themselves what in the event
Of this war being successful, they are

eulsaria's Dream.
Bulgaria's dream is very naturally
for an extension of the borders of her
own kingdom, so that they would in
clude about the same territory that
was granted to her by the treaty Of
San Stefano. This would include a
great bulk of the Bulgar speaking
people Of Macedonia and would make
her unQuestionably the dominant
power of the Balkans.
The Hellenic aspirations would ia
clude the annexation Of Crete and
many of the islands of Aegean with
strong Grecian sympathies which
have recently fallen to the Italians.
She might too demand some territor-
ial extension on her northern border

while Turkey has . force estimated
at 1000, 000 She has the great Asiat-
ic province to draw from, and the
Turkish soldier, it has always been

internal conditions that she has never

certain that these would be 10 her dis
advantage. The war with Italy has
given no clue to Turkeys real military
resources. and il is, certain that a war

one just concluded in Tripoli.
