Yes, When the Sun Goes Down

Kissing has got to stop. Dr. George W. Bowling
of Oklahoma says so, and he has conclusive reasons
for taking this determined stand. Hear him:
"Homes have been wrecked, nations destroyed,
thrones overturned all because of that one thing;
still that is not my reason am enthusiastic on the
subject simply from sanitary hygienic stand
point and believe the legislature should pass law
making it compulsory to teach moral hygiene in the
public schools"
Can you dispute the doctors facts? Can you re-
flute his arguments? Probably not, and yet you
would be mighty rash to predict the early of
his crusade.
The doctor has tackled something bigger than
homes, nations and thrones He has attacked "the
cosms urge''the power that holds the stars in the
Skies moves the tides, leads the procession of the
He will find it quite considerable chore
to repeal the laws of the universe.
Kissing may be done away WITH in time, but it
will be after the has gone out and the has
had time to reach the inhabitants of the earth.

soldiers ill-treat him, SO that his
one desire is for vengeance on
them.
There is an epidemic of small
pox, and 1t Is decided that the
soldiers must be vaccinated. When
the tubes of vaccine are delivered,
the Russian receives them. He
knows the surgeon has also some
tubes of hydrophobia bacteria,
with which he has been expert
menting on rabbits. A horrible
idea comes to the anarchist. He
substitutes the hydrophobia bac-
terra for the vaccine, and the sol
diers are yaccinated with the
former.
I'm the second act the virus has
taken effect. A soldier is brought
in, in the last agonies of hydro
phobia. His makeup is awful be-
yond description, his acting per-
feet. He suffocates, screams, begs
for death. His case Is hopeless,
and the doctor advises that he be
shot.
''The doctor and the regimental
oillcerb CONFER. many soldiers are
raving in hydrophobia. others are
In the first stages. The doctor
has found out what has happen
ed, and knows that all who were
vaccinated are doomed. Fearing
that 1t may be impossible to re-
strain all the victims, it is decided
to shoot each one as fast as the
symptoms appear. You hear the
shots, as the men are killed.
THE Russians guilt is discov-
cred. He is forced to confess. +.
Death being considered too
mild fate for him, he is carried
into the experiment room, and as
the play closes, he is being inocu-
lated with the hydrophobia germs,
struggling and yelling-as the
doctor works over him.
And this, / must say, that the
play Is perfectly written and spien-
didly acted: It Is SO marvelousIy
well done that you cannot help adj
miring It. In spite Of its hideous-
ness"

Above The Frenzied Hour

Politics, nothing but politics! And yet the cattle
Craze thousand hills the crops rpen in the
shine, the boys dive and splash in the old swimmn'
hole, the toiling millions of men and women go to
work in the morning and return to their humble
homes at night, and everything moves on precisely
as it would do If there were no such thing as the
quadrennial frenzy of presidential politics.
The universe grinds its grist Men and parties are
but chips the tide that flows steadily onward
toward the shores of the future.

Marlborough is due to her great
activity in these and other chart
ties and to the fact that although
American born, she has always
been a great favorite of Queen
Alexandra; has been admitted to
her intimate friendship.
1t is expected that about 10000
women will act as flower sellers,
and so extensive are the arrange
ments that the grand council of
women organizing the affair now
includes 1900 Of the best known
names in England. Some little
trouble has arisen over the shy
ness of some of the society girls,
and 1t has been decided that each
flower seller is to be accompanied
by woman or man friend to pro-
tect her from the waggishness of
the masses.
All the flower sellers will be
gowned alike In white, and will
wear wild roses In their hats.

Where the gay mosquito

Where the coffee's muddy,
Where the lemons warm.

Where the drinking water

Yours very truy,
w. L. SHATTUCK.
Idaho Falls, Idaho, Aug. %, 1912.
Idaho National Harvester Co., Mos
cow, Idaho.-Gentlemen We hand you
herewith a copy of w. l.. Shattuck 8
order for combine, for delivery next
year, together with his letter, every
word of which we know to be absolu-
tely true, and what he says about your
machine is no exaggeration as it GER
tainly is dandy and does the work
to perfection.
Mr.. John Burnctte of Darlington,
the party to who Mr.. Shattuck sold
his machine for delivery after he had
cut his own $50 acres, called on us some
time ago and tried to buy a harvester
but you know we had already sold our
allotment and it was impossible for us
to take care of him. He informed us
that he was going to get one of your
machines this year through some means
and strarted out to make a deal after
we had given him the names If parties
who had bought.
Tho Lost River country, in which
Darlington is located on the Mackay
branch line, will produce great deal
of grain hereafter, and we consider
that it is worth great deal to us to
have one of the machines in the valley
this year.
Mr.. Shattuck has given us the priv
ilege to use his letter as we choose
and it is our intention to make good
use Of it in connection with next year 8
business and no doubt you will do the
same. Mr.. Shattuck would not have
sold his machine under any circum-
stances without our assurance that we
would furnish him another one next
year so to make him absolutely safe
we booked his order and told him we
would get machine without fail.
We have sold great deal of farm
implements and machinery during the
past seven years, but never before have
we seen the purchaser come out quite
so good ON one deal. 1t seems to us
for man to sell harvester for which
he paid $3.50 and freight for the same
money, after he harvested his own crop
of $50 acres, speaks extremely well
for the harvester, and we are safe in
saying that there is not another piece
of harvesting machinery on the market
today that would let the purchaser
quit so easy.
Galley
Trusting that you are as well pleased
with the deal as we are, and assuring
you a good business for next season, we
are. Very respectfully,
Sims Coal & Commission Co.
Twenty-Five of the above machines
have been placed on the prairie this
year. Twenty-three are now set up
and in operation giving service SINH
lar to the above. There is no doubt
as to this being the most economical
way for the rancher with the average
acreage to harvest his crop.

Gentlemen: About year ago l be-
came interested in the Idaho Ma
cow, Idaho. Previous to that time /
have been operating one of the large
combined harvester manufactured by
the best manufacturing companies and
was pleased with the work done by this
machine.
In order that | might get reliable
information about the Idaho machine,
] wrote over twenty letters to parties
who were operating the Idaho, asking
many questions about the machine
After summing up all the answers to
these letters / made up my mind it
was the machine | wanted and placed
an order for one the first of March
this year. The machine arrived, took
it on my farm and put two experienced
men on the machine to which was
hitched eight ordinary farm horses.
The weather had been rainy and
very bad for harvesting, the grain
which was cutting was on dry land
and would make about twenty bushels
per acre. The grain contained consi-
derable mustard which was perfectly
green while we were harvesting, but
this little machine handle! it in first
class shape and has given ne nc trou-
BILE whatever.
After | had been operating the ma
chine for several DAYS NJ lohn II.
Burnette of Darlington, Idaho, visited
my field, watched the machine work
and said he had ordered one in the
spring but got his order in too late
to secure a machine. He stated that
his grain was quite late and would not
be ready to cut until l would be
through with my crop of $50 acres.
He told me if | would ship him the ma
chine when l had finished my crop,
he would pay me just what the mach
inc cost me; consequently | sold the
machine to him.

an s-foot Idaho machine, to be de-
livered to me for the season of 1913.
