ventions that bears no relation to population.
 The outlook is brighter than may appear to q stranger.
 A legislative commission reported in 1909 direct primary law, which re- ceived the approval of the senate in 1911, and is sure to be adopted under pres ure of public demand within a short time. Connecticut has a cor rupt practices act, less drastic than it should be, but much better than nothing. The statute was adopted by the last General Assembly Slowly the people are learning that a pro- gressive state must have the best inn proved machinery of government, ev- en as it must have the latest inven- tions to facilitate communication aud industry.

one place to another; mysterious methods and roundabout ways were employed: original records were de- stroyed; items and amounts were grouped in such a way as to give no knowledge to the public except the amount of each class of expenditures; a banker acted as treasurer; no ac- count was opened as is usually done by depositors; remittances were re- ceived, private memoranda kept, cash disbursements of funds made, but no record was kept on the banks books, and when the committee of the gen eral assembly started to investigate Heal counsel for MT. Stephenson had such records and correspondence as had not already been destroyed moved out of the State for the purpose of keeping them beyond the Jurisdiction of the general assembly.
 The description of these methods bears a striking resemblance to those practiced by certain gubernatorial candidates in this state. The sum spent by Senator Stephenson is con siderably larger than any sum ever reported by a gubernatoriaI candidate here, but the cost per primary vote to him is undoubtedly less than the Con necticut record would show, if Con Iy scrutinized.
 The expenditure of such sums of money in behalf of any one candi- date appals the judgment of honest men.
 Says the Senate minority:
 All this is admitted, and we feel that we have a right to assume from these admitted facts and actions that corrupt methods and practices were used in connection with said primary election. To ho otherwise is to eS- tablish a precedent that would au- tho orize an expenditure of hundreds of thousands of dollars to debauch the this body. To do this is to notify the world that we are careless as to whether or not seats in this body are to be bought and sold as so much largest purse. To do so is to say to the man of millions eager for place, power, and honor, Spend as much of your mi lions as you please to secure seat here and no question will be made if you claim it was expended within the law" As was said by regard to the facts before them in the Payne case, t'No more fatal blow can be stru~h at the Senate or at the pur- ity and permanence of the republican Government itself than the establish Inent of this precedent"
 The expenditure of such a sum of money at a primary election on be- half of one candidate in itself shocks the Judgment and conscience of hon est men general y, and disbursed as disclosed by the record in this case is conclusive proof of corrupt methods and practices.
 Every word above used has it's es- peciaI application in this state. It should be read and pondered by those wealthy men whose purses have exceeded their morals and whose po- Iitical ambition has outrun their con- sciences.

DEAFNESS,

New Book on New MGthOd- Hoy to Recover Hearing Without Drugs or
 Electric Devices
Message of Hope and Joy tO
 All Afflicted Persons

There Is hope of a weII-based kind which should bring joy and ultimate contentment to multitudes of persons who have been troubled for years with deafness or head noises.
 Dr. Coutant, an able specialist, has evolved a newly perfected method for treating cases where the hearing Is not perfect or where the sufferer is haraSs- ed by ringing. roaring. buzzing or other disagreeable noises in the head. Et aP- pears that about 95 out of every hun dred cases are from causes amenablG to proper treatment
 Dr. Coutant does not advocate the use of drugs or electricity. Re Felte1 chiefly upon cooperating with NatuD in bringing about speedy and effectu- al cure of morbid auraI conditions. Re markabI cures are reported. many Of them being in the cases of deAfBeN8 that had existed for about 20 to % years. With the description given iR his newly published book. the learned docto provides a long series of letterG, written by per~OnS WI had been given up as hopeless. and who were speedily cured st home without loss of time and without inconvenience by Dr. Coutant'G natural home method.
 Anyone who is interested can write to a dozen or a hundred of the persons who. not long ago, were victims of deafness or head-noises tor bothl and who are now delighted to proclaim themselves as marvellousiy benefited or completely cured.
 pr. COutant is not one of the ire spOnsibIe quacks. of which there is such a large number. but is a reput- able. responsible, irPntiate. practising physician with a third of a centuFy'g active experience.
 The doctor believes there are many who are troubled with deafness. etc. who might be permanently freea Iru-a their ina bilitv to hear and from t4&- nitus (noisesI if they would GO as Usel- CTS have successfully done, merely fol- lowing the advice given.
 The book. which any reader can ob- tain from the author. Dr. George E. Coutant. 2G9 D. Station B, New York. N Y. has been declared by many to be worth it's weight in gold. One needs only to write for it and the treatise will promptly come in a plain wrapper.

GALE DRIVES WATER OUT.
Cos Cob Power Station in Danger of
 Shutdown For About Two Hours.

Stamford. Feb. 24.-One of the ef- fleets of the gale of Thursday was a threatened lack of water for the New Haven roads power house at Cos Cob. cided scarcity of water for condensing purposes. The railroad company gets it's water for condensing from the Mianus river. The gale blew the wa ter out of the river into the sound and there was next to none to draw on. To relieve things one of the four generators was shut down and the three others were run on high pres sure. By and by the wind fell and shifted, and the river began to rise again. It was not necessary to take the power off the electric zone wires, but it was deemed wise to send along a few treins in both directions under steam power to relieve the load the three gen orators were carrying.

''Oh wad some power the Giftie gie us

 How wonderfully analogous this Is to the action of the President of the Red Cross Society, Greatest of all Peace Advoca tes, and Whirling Dervish of International Arbitration-"even in matters concerning honor''-known as saving the air and uttering an inter minabIe deal of nothing, thus deliver ed himself:
 ''we have an army of mobile troops of not more than one to a thousand of our population, and now 1t is pro- Congress to reduce that army by eIim- mating ope-third of our cavaIr They would cut out some of the best caval- ry in the world, five regiments of which are needed for a nucleus of larger army should we ever be sudden son they propose to depart from the time-honoIed practice of adding to our navy each year two hattIeships by cutting them off altogether this year.
 Now wouldn't this PhiIipic be caIcu- lated to cause the white-pIumaged wil6 abandon in order to avoid being killed and eaten?
 And Taft claims to be consistent also to possess sense of humor?
 His constituency is visible only to the bat-blind hero worshfppers for whom the king can do no wrong

TAFT, "THE PEACE ADVOCATE

Do you recall that ingenious little poem of Burns. wherein he quaintly depicts the air of supercilious self satisfaction of a lady sitting directly in front of him in churcil-blissfully ignorant of the fact that upon her bon net craw ed a great grey Iouse?
 It is charming in it's homely humor and sarewd philosophy. Burns apos- trophises the lady thus:

SHORT AND TO
THE POINT
Follow Example of Woman S
Institution In Compiling Knowl-
edge Compactly.

Dr. Graham Taylor. the noted Chi
cago sociologst. has said that there is
nothing like a womans intuition for
going directly to the point by the short
est cut possible Mr. Taylor believes
that there is something almost uncan-
ny about the high average of correct
ness in the apparent guesswork of
womankind and perhaps various men
who have tried to deceive their wives
agree with him
The last of just the quality that this
student notes in woman is what has
long blocked the progress of giving to
the public a compact. commonsense
reference work that would place the his
tory of the worlds great events upon
any ones desk without occupying a
space greater than an ordinary novel
would take up. That is the Standard
Atlas and Chronological History Of the
World. which The Georgian is offering
to its readers.
Graham Taylor was crossing on a
New York ferry boat and received one
of his first impressions OF womanlv di-
rectness when his mother cried out that
her pocketbook had been stolen. and.
directly TO the man who stood
next to her. cried; THAT man took it"
Her son feared a scene is he claimed
that no man would have dared accuse
another without evidence; but. much
to his surprise, the man proved to he
the guilty party.
In the past experts in compiling
knowledge have lacked the ability TO
pack it in volume so that not an
inch of space is lost and the possessor
OF the book can place his finger on
a fact ike Mrs Taylor did on the
pickpocket without moments delay.
But the publishers Of this Atlas have
accomplished this task. and it is the
book you can not afford to be with
out.

The cheesecloth until the jelly

The cheesecloth until the jelly
has set.
Large fruits, such as the APP
pie, must be boiled in water un-
til soft. and the liquid strained
from the pulp before making the
jelly. The heating of the fruit
juice and sugar TO the boiling
point serves three purposes; to
sterilize the material completely;
to concentrate it to the proper
consistency; and to invert, by the
combined action of temperature
and free acids, a large quantity
of cane sugar, preventing the
Jelly from granulating.s
Precautions to be observed
in jelly making are: Do not use
iron or tin utensils; the fruit
acids attack these metals and
give a bad color to the finished
product, and affect the taste; the
kettle should be porcelain lined
or enameled, or of aluminium.
Do not cook the fruit juice and
sugar too long or the pectin will
lose its gelatinizing power. Do
not add too great u portion OF
sugar or the jelly will crystalline.
Hard boiling may also cause
crystallization.
"Jellies should be covered as
soon as they have set to prevent
the growth of molds and bacteria
and to prevent evaporation. They
may be covered by quarter-inch
coat of sterilized paratiin, When
removed from the glass the jelly
should be firm but not tough.
1t should preserve its angles when
cut, and should have a good color
and n distinctive flavor of the
juice used" "

PACIFIC NORTHWEST WILL SHOW
PRODUCTS OF The SOIL

Instead of an apple show,
Portland will hold a land pro
ducts show this winter that will
be the first of its kind in the
Pacific Northwest. 1t is hoped
to make it an annual event rival
ing in interest the big land shows
of the East and middle West.
November or December will
probably be the time of holding
the show and it is planned to
have it last two weeks. In scope
it will cover the entire Pacific
Northwest and all the states in
cluded in this territory will be
asked to cooperate and send ex-
hibits.
1t is desired to have every pro-
duct of the soil assembled here
at that time. Commercial bodies
will be interested and it is hoped
to develop this event into an an
nual attraction that will appeal
to people throughout the whole
country who may be attracted to
the vacant lands Of the North
west states. The land show pro-
ject has the support of the Ore
gon Development League and the
chef organizations of Portland
and the state.
A thorough survey of the agri-
cultural districts of the state is
now being made under the dire =
ton of the Oregon Statistical
Bureau of the State immigration
Commission and the Oregon Agri-
cultural College. Representa-
tive farms in each locality will
be investigated and careful stas
tistics collected showing produc-
ton, cost of raising crops, social
conditions, etc. The results of
the inquiry will be used in at
tracing immigrants and it is ex-
pected the survey will be useful
in giving valuable information
to settlers and in helping to
solve many problems Of the
farm.

The comedy drama, "Burley S
Ranch" was played at Tonawa-
ma on the evening of the 3rd
and the house was packed. 1t
was under the directorship Of
Carl Welker and the cast was all
local talent. The players did
well in their respective parts and
the play was thoroughly enjoyed.
One unfortunate incident that
put those taking part out was
the lights went out during the
performance. A gas light was
burning which saved the house
from being entirely dark, there
fore the play went right. The
batteries attached to the power
on the Tonawama light plant
gave out and it took some time
to get new ones. This was done
finally and the lights turned on
again. This will be remedied at
once, the theater is going to in
stall good lights, with sufficient
power to run its picture machine.
