REPUBLICAN TICKET.
Sheriff:
MACK STUBBLEFIELD.
HERE WE ARE.

The local Democratic ticket has
severe handicap to overcome this
year.
The best way to bring about "a poll
tical house cleaning is to nominate
only good men for Office on any party
ticket.
The Democratic nominee who said
it would be good politics" to defeat
Brown may find ii bad politics. TO
have made such an utterance.
1t rather appears to US that the
Gossom case has left several of his
partisans in very bad ''muddle."
The people of the county are entitl-
ed To have honest. trustworthy Of
ciaIs, and, if they should fail to Sc
cure them, they are themselves chiefly
20 blame. OF course, If they are will
ling for the machine To nominate
their candidates, then they must take
the consequences of whatever happens.

WOULD IMPROVE
COTTON HANDLING
6OUTHERN PLANTERS WILL COOP.
ERATE WITH WILSON.
IS LACK OF ORGANIZATION
Growers Will Attempt to Produce Uni
form Variety of Cotton Which In
vestigations Show Best
Adapted to Conditions.

WashingtoG.-That the cotton plant
ers OF the South are anxious to coop
crate with the department of agriculture
in the efforts oi the government to intro
duce better methods OF handling and
marketing cotton Is the report brought
to Secretary Wilson by Charles j. Brand
and W. a. Sherman, who have just re-
turned from an extended reconnaissance
trip through the South and Southwest.
The great weakness OF the cotton
growing interests said Mr.. Brand, is
their lack OF organization in units OF
sufficient size to enable them to furnish
even running bales in commercial guam
titles. 1t is hoped to overcome this dill
icnlty through the organization Of cot
ton growers associations, all Of whose
members will grow a uniform variety o:
cotton, which investigations of the de-
partment have shown best adapted to
their condition. The department con.
templates actual demonstrations in han.
ding aud marketing in the most direct
and practical manner.
"The New England and Southern spin.
ming interests have expressed their in
tercst in the new work. In the Imperial
valley in California, where cotton has
been grown commercially for only three
years, the growers already have organ
lied. Similar organizations are getting
together in other states"

ALMOST FRANTIC WITH
ITCHING ECZEMA

Eight years ago I got eczema all
over my hands. My fingers fairly bled
and 1t itched until 1t almost drove me
frantic. The eruption began with
itching under the skin. It spread fast
from between the fingers around the
nails and all over the whole hands. I
got a pair of rubber gloves in order to
wash dishes. Then 1t spread all over
the left side Of my chest. A fine doc
tor treated the trouble two weeks, but
did me no good. I cried night and
day. Then / decided to try Cuticura
Soap and Ointment but without much
hope as I had gone so long. There
was a marked change the second day,
and SO on until l was entirely cured.
The Cuticura Soap we have always
kept in our home. and we. decided
after that lesson that 1t Is a cheap
soap in price and the very best in
quality. My husband will use no other
soap in his shaving mug" (Signed)
Mrs. G. A. Selby, Redonda Beach,
Cal. Jan. Is, 1911. Although Cuticura
Soap and Ointment are sold by drug
gists and dealers everywhere, a sam
pie of each, with 32-page book, will
be mailed free on application to

AERONAUT VANIMAN
AND CREW KILLED
FIVE MEN MEET INSTANT DEATH
IN MIDAIR.
BODIES BLOWN TO ATOMS
Vaniman, Who Built Airship With View
of Crossing Atlantic, Killed, His
Younger Brother and Three
Others Victims.

Atlantic City, N. J.-Sailing out over
the Atlantic ocean under perfect control,
the great airship Akron, in command OF
Melvin Vaniman, with a crew of four
men, exploded while more than 500 feet
in the air, and shot down into the water
a tangled mass. The daring navigator
and his companions were carried to in
slant death.
In all the tragic history OF aerial dis
asters probably none was as sensational
as that which destroyed the most costly
air craft ever constructed in the western
hemisphere. Built to withstand the
storms of the Atlantic and to carry at
least a dozen men across the ocean. the
Akron went to her doom in calm weather.
Those who went down with the big dirigi-
BILE, beside the intrepid and air-broken
Vaniman, were:
Calvin Vaniman, his younger brother.
Fred Elmer.
George Bourrillion, of Philadelpk
Walter c. Gest, a friend Of W. -
"""he'"' p"eNei'
of Brigantine Beach came they T.
aster. The thousands of spectators, Who
had been watching the ship, saw a burst
of flames outlined against the morning
sky. In a few seconds the onlookers
were Mortified to see the car Of tho bal
loon detach itself from the bag and shoot
downward into the water, followed by
the collapsed gas bag.
BY intuition everybody appeared to
have realized what had occurred. Fish
ermen and yachtsmen who were out IN
the little boats watching the ship imme-
diately started to the rescue. Soon a
hundred boats were beating their way
out over the rough waters of the inlet
bar. When the first boats reached the
wreck scene the rescuers found only the
collapsed gas bag, but after a search q
submerged body, which proved to be that
of the younger Vaniman, was recovered.
Divers went down to the wreck, but there
was little that could be done until low
tide, when Gest's body was disentangled
from the wreckage and brought to shore.
Mrs. Naniman saw the collapse of the
balloon and its drop into the ocean, car
rying with it her husband and brother
in-law. She swooned. Friends who were
with her sent for physicians, and when
she recovered consciousness she talked
of her husbands bravery. The wives If
Bourillion, Gest and Elmer who lived
nearby, also saw the airship fall. Neigh
bors t%endcrly cared for them and later
they went over to the Vaniman cottage,
where a distressing scene followed. Men
turned away as the four widows wept on
one another's shoulders.

500 LIVES LOST IN
TERRIBLE TORNADO
100000 PROPERTY DAMAGE Al
REGINA.
NEARLY THOUSAND INJURED.
Aid Arrives, but Great Confusion Pre-
walls, and II Is Impossible to
Estimate Full Damage Of
the Calamity.

Winnipeg.-It 10 estimated that from
400 to 500 persons were killed and prop
erty loss of $10,O00,OOO entailed by 1
tornado, which, after a day of thun Ter
storms and high winds, struck Regina
Saskatchewan, Sunday.
The local telephone office was wre ked
and it is feared that fifteen girls EN-
ployed there were killed.
The tornado first struck the new par
Lament building, just completed at a cost
of 81, 900 Ooo. The building is of steei
and concrete and while it still stands
is badly shaken.
Warehouses, banking institutions ant
retail stores were sent into heaps Of
ruins, while the air was filed with tn,
wreckage,
Six big grain elevators were toppled
over like tenpins, the timbers being piled
in heaps on the tracks.
The magnitude of the calamity which
Regina had suffered, while growing in
realization as the rescue work proceeded
could not be fully estimated at a late
hour. 1t seemed certain, however, that
the casualties would roll up to a total
of between 400 and 500, and that the
property loss would hardly be under
$4,000,0 900 at the lowest estimate.
Every ambulance in the city was
worked to its limit, carrying the bodies
of.the killed and the scores of injured
persons to the hospitals, which were
filled early In the evening, and to impro-
vised hospitals inJsome of the larger
buildings left standing. Crowds of vol.
unteers all over the city are assisting in
the work of searching the wreckage, and
for hours hardly a minute went by that
o dead body or the mangled form Of
some living victim was not uncovered.

CHASE OVER HOUEETOPS
Two Countrymen, Fleeing Police, Receive
Mortal Injuries.

Louisville, Ky.-At the end of their
p%erilous flight over a block of housetops,
police in hazardous pursuit, Alva and
Goold Bishop, co%untrymen, blood flowing
from numerous cuts they sustained in a
fight, toppled over a raised cornice and
pitched headlong toward the pavement,
two stories below. Goold fell to the
street with a crash, while Alva struck
a trolley guy wire in his descent and
was snapped across the street and upon
the roof of a sne-story building. Conrad

Lazy Expression.

Slang and rutted phrases may be
brilliantly used and SO pass current
legally. But for the most part they are
not brilliantly used. They serve chiefly
the lazy mind and r a bore. One
can, and very many one do. shirk the
thought process by the mode Of ready
made and ill-fftting expressions. It's
as easy as lying. More aptly, it's as
easy as swearing. And very much such
a slovenly habit as swearing. Very
many who might, as early, speak and
write English well groove their minds
with slang and bad usage Of the lam
guage until their thoughts can hardly
travel out except through the burrows.

WHO DOES WRITE THE JOKES7
Principally the Professional Funny
Man, Which Easily Explains Their
"Sad" Quality.

How are jokes made? The funny
bone Of the American people demands
q thousand new ~pleasantries every
day. The doctors say that our dia-
phragms must be tickled or we VIII
die. How can anybody sit down ana
deliberately make sup jokes that VIII
tickle US?
The main source of newspaper jokes
Is the professional funny man. The
funny man works in various ways. A
crude beginner at the joke trade usual
ly opens the dictionary at random and
begins to look for words to make puns
on. He comes to the word horse"
That reminds him of horse sense"
So he frames the following little John
ny and teacher anecdote:
Johnny" said the teacher, write
a sentence using the words horse
sense" Johnny wrote: "One night
pa forgot to lock the stable and he
hasn't seer his horse sense"
This joke is duly published in the
funny column Of the metropolitan pa
per. A magazine writer, seeing the
story in a country paper, thinks it
original and exclusive. He steals It
and sells 1t to a weekly magazine OF
national circulation. From this maya
zine London editors grab the little jest
and 1t is now afoat on the wide ocean
OF English language and 1t probably
will outlive the man who wrote 1t.
Most of the anecdotes that fill the
funny columns never happened in real
life. They are the brain children Of
some hired jester who dotes on anec-
dotes. There is a pun, right there.
The professional funny man would
ponder that a minute, then perhaps
produce a rhyme like this:
Artie chokes on artichokes
And writhes about in pain:
But Auntie dotes on antidotes.
And soon he's we'll again.

WOMAN DASHED
TO HER DEATH
WITH W. A. P. WILLARD, FELL A
THOUSAND FEET.
STRUCK IN SHALLOW WATER
Both Bodies Were Badly Crushed by the
Fall-Were Returning From Twen-
ty.Mile Flight Over Boston
Harb0r.

Boston.-Miss Harriet Quimby, 0
New York, the first woman to win al
aviator's license in America, and the
first woman to cross the English channel
IN an aeroplane, was instantly killed
with her passenger, w. A. P. Willard,
manager of the Boston aviation meet,
when her Bleriot monoplane fell into
Dorchester bay from a height of . thou
sand feet.
The accident happened when Miss
Quimby and Willard were returning from
a trip over Boston harbor to Boston
light, a distance of 20 miles in all. The
flight was made in 20 minutes. The
Bleriot, one of the latest models of mill
tary monoplanes, circled the aviation
field and scared out over the Savin Hill
Yacht Club, just outside the aviation
grounds.
Heading back into the eight-mile gusty
wind, Miss Quimby started to volplane.
The angle was too sharp and one of the
gusts caught the tail Of the monoplane,
IN owing the machine up perpendicular.
For an instant 1t poised there. Then,
sharply outlined against the setting sun,
Willard was thrown clear Of the chassis,
followed almost Immediately by Miss
Quimby. Hurting over and over, the
two figures shot downward, striking the
water 20 feet from shore. They splashed
out of sight a second before the mono
plane plunged down is feet away.
1t was low tide and the water was
only five feet deep.
Both bodies were badly crushed. Sew
eral of Miss Quimby's bones were broken
and there were many large bruises. Will
lard, who weighed 100 pounds, hit the
water face first and over one eye there
was a cash from which the blood was
flowing. He, too, sustained several frac-
lures and bruises.
