Roosevelt is undoubtedly the strongest man that the republicans have to nominate and he has far better chances than Tatt to obtain tie republican nomination.
 Tt seems to me that the democratic results depend largely upon who is nomi- hated at Chicago, though Underwood IS, in my upinion, more than any other cail- didato Inc best democrat to oppose A re- publican nominee.
 James Bowron: T think that MT. Taft would make good President and have respect for his administration. but if Mr. Roosevelt receives the nomination at Chi cago. I am a republican and would sup port him. I am not politician and really have no idea how the convention will come out"
 Joseph B. Babb: .T would prefer to see two conventions at Chicago with Taft the nominee of one and Roosevelt the nominee of the other This would give the rival factions an opportunity to dem- onstrate concluslvely their relative strength with the people. It would also insure the election of the democratic nominee. who I hope will be the man from Birmingham"
 Sydney J. Bowie: q think the steam roller is going to work the nomination of Taft at the Chicago convention, and also believe that We will have two republican tickets and an easy democratic victory in November"
 R. D. Burnett; T have not studied the matter at all, but I would like to have Roosevelt receive the nomination at Chi cago and I sincerely hope that he will get 1t. I believe that being on the ground himself is great point in his favor."
 Borden Burr; 'I want Taft to get the nomination and it looks like he is goingto come out all right. 1 don't believe Roose- velt's presence will make any difference. l want to see Taft receive the nomlna- ton because l believe we can beat him easier than we can beat Roosevelt"

Lose Benefit of Reduction

By MT. Wards proposed extension be- yond July the people would probably lose the benefit of the reduced rates for the quarter beginning April l, it being stipu- lated that the difference between the bills based on the old rates and the new is to be credited on bills for next quarter, and this whether the consumer is paying by the month or by the quarter.
 Some people in the central city may be quite complacent in suggesting further delays, but citizens living in the various suburbs will noturally be impatient to have some of the 32 miles of new water mains laid in their respective localities that they may enjoy the comforts of water and the protection of their homes from destruction by fire"

month old layer of scales or scabs
began to form on the top of his head.
The trouble began as a rash. The
scales increased until several layers
thick. The crust was thick and yellow

came of in large scales. His hair
came out in bunches and baby became
almost bald. His scalp itched and
burned SO badly as to make him cross
and fretful.

Soap and then applying the Cuticura
Ointment. Before they were used up
We could see an improvement in his

scales loosened and came of easily.

to use Cuticura Soap and Ointment
the scales had entirely disappeared

Baking Made Almost Automatic

Science has done many wonderful things
but possibly the most S Welcome e of + u it's is
many achievements is the PREPARATION of a
baking powder that makes baking almost
automatic.
This wonderful baking powder is known
as Calumet Baking Powder
AS you perhaps know from your own
eXperience-baking is largely a matter of
luck. If your baking. powder happens
to be Just right, your baking will be good
But If it varies in quality or in strength
as SO many baking powders do, your bak-
ings are more than likely to be ruined.
Calumet Baking Powder puts a stop to
the dependence on luck" With it. all
quickly raised foods can be made without
the slightest trouble-made pure and
wholesome and tasty. For Calumet itself
IS pure in the can and in the baking-and
so uniform in quality. SO carefully pre-

Records Are Made.
The elevator men have worked con.
tlnuously to handle this vast amount
OF grain and the railroads have given
excellent service. No farmer has been
orced to wait more than two hours
to have his grain taken care of. The
Columbia elevator made a record by
handling 112 loads of grain in "a
hours.
December is the big grain shipping
month at New England. While SS2
carloads of 1912 grain had been
shipped up to the first of the
month. the shipments for December
will probably exceed that amount,
slxty'seven carloads of grain was one
days shipment last week.
Figures given out several days ago
by the elevator managers show that
565,2OO bushels of grain have already
been shipped this fall. The five ele-
vators have about 100000 bushels of
grain on hand, bringing the total
marketed up to 715,OOO bushels. If
he weather continues favorable, the
million bushel mark will have been
passed before the holidays are over
Not more than one-third of the
grain in this territory has been
marketed. Hundreds of farmers have
only finished threshing recently and
are just beginning to market their
grain. The farmers will average from
thirty to sixty trips to market this
winter. Not one farmer in ten has
marketed half his grain.
Special trains have been put on the
Cannonball branch to handle the
grain from New England and a train
load a day will just about take care
OF the grain as it comes in. The Mil
waukee road had two grain trains here
early this week and special grain
train every day since.
The elevator men say that in the
event OF tie-up they will continue
to buy grain and store it in bins out
side of the elevator until the rush
season is over. The early prediction
that 100000 bushels of the 1912
grain crop would be marketed at New
England will probably be fulfilled and
it is believed this village will retain
its claim to being the greatest pri-
mary grain market in the United
States.

only explore about two thousand years

extended to the southwest OF Lands

q matter Of geology the tradition has
no satisfactory basis. though there
are traces of submerged forests in

that in its relation to the great sub

sidered structurally attached to Brit

Some portion of the vanished region
may have survived, adjoining the

1899, when, according to the Saxon
chronicle, Lyonesse was destroyed in
