OF 80 out of possible 100 points, won
the bread baking contest In Iowa
, against 1900 contestants. and made II
special prize loaf of bread for President
Taft, is a slight, blue-eycd little girl,

the Capital than to talk about her
prowess as a baker.

not gained at school. Her mother. Mrs.
M. b. Edmonds, who is with her An the
Capital, taught the little yirl how to
bake bread in the home Kitchen The

prize and the free trip to Washington,
was baked in the laboratory of the

won prizes Lester Finch, OF Fairbank,

Transparent effects and semi
transparencies are the vogue of the
moment, and in evening attire are
somewhat daring in style, particularly
when the ninon or chiffon bodice is
cut with Magyar sleeves and worn
over very low, sleeveless slip closely
fitted to the wearer.
A gown of flesh colored charmeuse
draped with chiffon arranged in this

Fully nine-tenths of the cruelty
in the world springs from ignor-
ance or thoughtlessness, in fact,
it is to be doubted whether so
much as one-tenth of the worlds
curelty is due to studied love of
pain. Take the case of the
aigrette, for instance. The laws
prohibiting the use of this fash
ionable ornament for the hat are
now receiving strict enforcement,
and on every hand we hear nice,
lovely women protesting against
what they conceive to be an out
rage and oppression. Who can
doubt that they do not know and
do not understand?

Scott has shown that he stands FOR
the people and AGAINST Special
Privilege. Throughout his six-year
term as supreme court justice, John
Campbell has shown that he is utterly
out of touch with the people and per-
fectly in touch with the oligarchic
spirit that hates democracy.
1t need only be mentioned that in
his opinion rejecting an Eight-Hour
law, he jeered at the great reform, in
sisting that if such molly-coddling
was carried to its ultimate, the state
would soon be demanding that "men
with torpid livers'' should be debarred
from accepting sedentary employment.
Than Tully Scott and John Campbell
no other candidates could have been
selected who so clearly defined the
issues of the present campaign in their
separate personalities. Campbell is

masses. The one believes in the rule

rule of the people.

a matter of course, is to split the Dem
ocratic vote and let Campbell creep in.
Not only should this intent be baked
by the people as q matter of self-pro-
lection, but as a rebuke to unfairness
and positive ill-faith. He went into
the Democratic primaries, submitting
his cause to the members of his party,
and was beaten honestly and decisively.
AS The News said in recent
editorial, the boss-ridden conventions
of other days gave excuse for an in
dependent candidacy. The sculdug-
geries practiced in these delegate
gatherings frequently made "bolts"
necessary in order that nominated
rascals might not benefit by treacheries
of their masters.
Such excuse is taken away by the
direct primary, and thecandidate who
now refuses to abide by the result of
the popular vote writes himself down
as dishonorabe. BY his ''bolt" Judge
Dixon insults his party and stamps
himself US unworthy of confidence.
Worse than this, he knowingly lends
himself to an attempt to defeat jurist
who champions the cause OF the people,
and to elect justice who has ever
conducted himself without regard to

It grows only during the mating
or nest building season. Hunters
all over the world spare the lives
of birds during that season but
rapacious and pitiless fashion
does not spare them. Bright
feathers must be procured at all
cost. -..
The poor herons gather in
flocks in the marshes. They
build their nests in willows and
other trees of the same nature,
and while they are occupied in
feeding their young birds, unable
to fly. the dealers come upon
them.
The massacre is easy; the
creatures are almost tame. They
never fly far from their nests
and they fall by hundreds, vic
Tins of the instinct which impels
them to protect their young.
At the close of the slaughter
the hunters go away happy in the
possession of the crests torn from
the heads of the unfortunate
birds whose bleeding little bodies
lie in heaps on the ground around
the tree. And the young herons,
after having called their parents
in vain, atlast die of jnanition. =

Prominent Democrats Here.

The court room was crowded
to its full capacity Wednesday
| night to listen to the distin-
guished democratic candidates
who are proclaiming from the
hustings their rights to the con-
fidence of the voters of the state.
County Chairman John M. Sta
ley had charge of the meeting
and introduced the democratic
candidate for the legislature in
this district, Louis Vogt. Mr..
Vogt made a rattling good speech
and his pledge to vote for the
peoples choice for United States
Senators, whether they be dem
ocrats or republicans, made him
many votes here.
H. H. Seldomridge, candidate
for congress from this, the End
district, was introduced, an d
showed the fallacy of the high
protective tariff and the gluttol :
GUS methods of the great monop-
olies of this country that have
fostered and fattened by reason
of the high tariff wall. How any
voter could be in sympathy with
the two republican factions after
listening to the arguments of Mr..
Seldcmridge is past all under
standing. His speech was one
of the most convincing ever heard
in Cheyenne Wells, couched in
language that was so earnest and
simple that the closest attention
of the big audience gave evidence
of the appreciation with which
his words were received.
Gov. Shafroth made the closing
address and attacked the former
republican administrations for
their extravaganza and for leav-
ling an Indebtedness upon the tax
