In The CID Fashion Way.

While travelling in the western
part Of the county last Friday we
found an old negro woman weaving
blankets in the OLD fashioned way.
We had never seen anything of the
kind and it was quite curiosity.
In weaving the blanket then in the
loom only two treadles were used,
while in jeans there are three re-
quired and in maxim. serge four are
necessary, The thread is wrapped
around beam, then passed through
the harness e::,3 re2.t the reeds and
then comes another trick and the
threads are crossed in the reeds and
lust behind these is where the shuttle
works. This shuttle is thrown from
right to left and left to right be-
tween the crossed and d;stended
threads and after it is thrown
the reels are pulled towards the
weaver and one treadle pressed
down and so on. From looking at
this and the throwing Of the shuttle
we understood better the comparison
by the inspired writer of this with
the fight of time, How faster than
the weaver's siluttle?" The price
per yard for weaving charged by
the cd woman when all things are
furnished is blankets, 5 cents; jeans,
5 cents; serge, 10 cents. She says
she can make ten yards Of blankets
per day. The grade was good and
the red border looked very much
like blankets bought at stores. Ii
you ever have an opportunity to see
such thing you will find the time
we'll spent in watching a weaver
weave. Carthage News.

zane Philosophy.

About the sanest philosophy any
rcr,an can have is to aim to make the
mast of each day as it comes aiols
and not borrow trouble from the Iu-
ture or bemoan the regretfnl past 20
through each day with determination
to make it Just as useful, cheerful ana
helpful as possible. If you i've out
this belief your life cannot help but Do
successful.

SHALL WE DESTROY THE PARTY?

The following is from the Manches
ter Press, Manchester, Iowa:
There is one prominent and una
voidable fact in this campaign which
every Republican voter ought to keeE
plainly in view. The fact IS this:
Every vote cast for Theodore Roos-
evelt is a vote to disrupt ana destroy
the Republican party.
This is plain statement OF fact
and cannot be controyerted.
Roosevelt does not expect to bt
elected president this fall. he knows
that he cannot be. He is looking for
ward to 1916. His plan is to destroy
the Republican patty in this campaign
and upon its ruins build up a personal
party which shall entrench him IN the
white house for long term of years.
What have the Republicans to gain
by destroying the party which has
been such tremendous force for good
IN the affairs of the government?
How will they profit by the substitu-
tion OF a Roosevelt dictatorship, H.
nanced by the trusts ard combines and
otflcered by disgruntled politicians and
disappointed office seekers?
The Roosevelt purpose is plain.
Enraged because he was not nominated
at Chicago, he now seeks the destruc-
tion of the party to which he owes ev-
cry preferment which has come to him.
he makes no secret of his intentions.
With this purpose in view, he is insist
ing upon third tickets in Republican
states, knowing full well that the logi-
cal effect of such move can only be
Democratic success. He hopes thus to
SO discredit and demoraize the RepuD-
ican party that he can step in and
take control with his Bull Moose or
ganization four years hence. And
thousands of Republicans blinded by
his personality and deceived by his
hlghsounding pretensions, stand ready
to aid him in his enterprise.
IF Republicans who are attracted
to Roosevelt because of his past attila-
tion with the Republican party wish
to destroy that party, their most effec-
tive weapon is the Bull Moose move
ment. There is this difference be-
tween Roosevelt and Wilson. Wilson
seeks to remove the Republican party
from power in the government. Roos-
evelt seeks to destroy it. Nothing less
will satisfy him or accomplish his pur-
pose. He must wipe out the Repubi-
can party and erect a new temple upon
its ruins. That is why he is demand
ing the political assassination of every
Republican who will not desert his
party and surrender to the Bull Mosse.
"If there is any red blood in the Re-
publicans of this country they will
stand up and fight to the last ditch to
preserve the party they have made. 1t
is a fight worth making-a fight for
honest government. a fight against
bossism, a fight for the perpetuity of
Republican principles. 1t is a fight
just as vital to the highest and best
interests Of the nation as was the
struggle of l86l-65. Every Republican
ought to get on the firing line and stay
there, with his colors unfurled, until
the last vote is cast on November 5. "

OREGON STUDENTS
CUT COST OF LIVING

Among the many young men az the
TInivsrsity Of Oregon who are maklng Z
a successful fight against the high
cost of living by cooking ana mousse
keeping for themselves are fouI ah-
hin county boys-Clark and A. u. os,
tsr two brothers from Dayton, and
Niiie Steiner and Wayne Lorett,
,gbose homes are On neighborlng
ranchss. By working during the hay,
grsin and hop harvests, the boys eaaeh
ssved during the summer months, be-
tween $50 and FOO Determined 70
make their funds last throughout the
wear. when they entered the university
ss freshmen last month tney rented a
little cottage at ten dollars mohth
and became bachelors in every sense OF
the word. Clark Foster IS the COOK,
bnt il is the duty Of the other boys to
hiring everything within easy reach and
TO wash the dishes.
Figuring from the statistics which
they gathered during September, the
total monthly expenses OF the four
bows, including rent are $40, ten doi,
lars apiece. At this rate the boye VIII
have about ten dollars month 70
spend upon books, clothes, and the
pleasures Of life.
However, the boys from Yamhill are
not the kind to forget that next sum
