of those who have entertained four in

They feel that the public should
know who have worked for this pub

publication for a week, in order to
give those who have not yet earned
their dollar, opportunity to do so,
before the names are published.

ONE COUNTY DETERMINES
THE RESULT IN MARYLAND.

THE RESULT IN MARYLAND.
Baltimore, Md.-The %closeness of
the struggle between President Taft
and Theodore Roosevelt for con-
trail of Maryland's 16 votes in the
national convention was emphasized
when complete returns from Mon
days primaries showed the result
depended upon one county which, on
the face of the returns gave Roose-
Welt a majority of out so votes. Put
ting this county CHoward) in the
Roosevelt column gave him &C dele
gates to the state convention, one"
more than a majority.
The three Howard county dele
gates if counted for Taft would give
him the primary victory by the same
margin.
Complete unofficial returns receiv-
ed by the state Roosevelt committee
and all the Baltimore newspapers
agree in giving Col. Roosevelt a ma
iority in Howard county of so odd
votes, but Taft leaders We're unwilling
to concedc that their opponents had
won.

A Herd Law for Poultry

Saratoga has a herd law that is
more or less observed by her citi-
zens when they have to, and every
one acknowledges it as a good
thing. From the reports that
come to the Sun office it would
seem that we are almost as much
in need of a law to curb the de-
predations of the predatory hen
and her ravenous brood. One
good, strong hen, warranted to be
in perfect health, followed by a
brood of quarter grown chickens,
not yet afflicted with rheumatic or
other troubles except a strong ap-
petite, can do more damage ia
ones garden in the short perioc
of an hour than a herd of cattle
There are not many people 30 de-
void of a sense of justice that they
would permit their poultry to de-
stroy a neighbours truck patch

The Flies

Now the flies begin their buzz
zin' by the gross and by the doz-
en- and they make our lives a bur-
ded with their gimlets and their
drills; they are riding on the
breezes and they scatter more d.
seases than the doc can ever
master with his sugar-coated pills.
Day by day the housefy hustles
for our red and white corpusclss,
shooting venom in our systems
with his hypodermic gun; hustl-
ing in all human regions, sending
to the boneyard legions who would
keep living in this world of work
and fun. Flies are vile and vul-
gar creatures; they have no re-
deeming features; they drive all
the world to anger as they WELD
their deadly tools; and they keep
US mad and fretting till we often
are forgetting all the SPLENDID
moral lessons that we learned in
Sunday school. When the flies
have all been driven from this
land the JOY of livin' will (the
scientists assure us) be increased
a hundred fold; let us therefore
rise and swst'em knock'em end
ways, top and bottom, till they
weary of their labors and their
sticky feet are cold. Swat'em
with our swatters swatty, though
the world may sap we're dotty,
kill them off with guns and poison,
tie some tinware to their tails;
tie them to the stake with tethers,
give them coats of tar and feat
hers; when we find them in our
village let us ride them out on
rails-Walt Mason.

Sage grouse, Chicken, are ripe

Game Warden Taylor is determiu-

kill them. Brother Sportsman,
when you strike a covey of those

but they will also live up to the

Benefited By the First Bath

Frank Myerly returned this
morning from Saratoga, where he
took his wife a few days ago for
treatment for a severe attack of
rheumatism. Mrs. Myerly was
was suffering 80 that her screams
when attacked with one of the
spasms of pain could be heard for
two blocks and was helped by the
first bath. She will remain for a
longer visit, taking the baths at
stated intervals, and Mr.. Myerly
expects her to be entirely cured
when she returns home.-Laramie
Republican.
The above clipping shows one
instance only of the great benefit
to be derived from bathing in the
hot waters of the thermal springs
here. While there is occasional
mention made of some one being
cured of rheumatism by the waters
here there are hundreds of cures
that never reach the public print.
1t is really a calamity to this COM
munity and the Southern part of
this state that the springs here
have no good accommodations for
bathers, but are permitted to
stump along with a small bath
house. A large hotel would be
filled with bathers every month in
the year if they could be accommo.
dated, but under the present cir
cumstances patients are driven to
other and less efficacous bathing
resorts, simply because they do
not find hotel room, plunge baths
and swimming pools here. They
know the curative properties of the
water and would gladly patronize
the place if they could.
