CLEAN ELECTION BILL DEFEATED

Corrupt Practices Bill Held Up BY
Senate During Closing Hours
Just before adjournment of the Leg
islature blow at clean elections was
delivered by the senate in defeating
the corrupt practices bill which has
been before the legislature since very
early in the session, and the excuse
given by the exponents Of Republican
machine politics was that il was a
Democratic party measure. The bill
was patterned after the Pennsylvania
law. and its provisions were stringent,
requiring candidates for Office to file
statements Of ell expenses incurred at
the primaries Of the parties. All the
political expenditures under the Law
would have TO be made through tbs
committees Of the parties.

Mu.kra,s Pay rrappsrs Over 900

TheImuskrat season closed in Della
ware March 10. and although the
catch has been very small this year
on account Of the warm winter, the
high price paid for fur has more than
made up for the lack of quantity. II
is estimated that the farmers in
Kent and Sussex counties realized
SIS. 600 from muskrats this year.

To Grow Hair on
a Bald Head
BY A SPECIALIST.


Thousands of people suffer from
badness and falling hair who. having
tried nearly every advertised hair
tcnic and hair-grower without results.
have resigned themselves to badness
and its attendant discomfort, Yet their
case is not hopeless: the following
simple home prescription has made
hair grow after years of badness, and
is also unequalled for restoring gray
hair to its original color. stopping hair
from falling out. and destroying the
dandruff germ. K will not make the
hair greasy. and can be put up by any
druggist: Bay Rum. 6 ounces: Ia
vona de Compose. ounces; Menthol
Crystals. one-half drachm. II you wish
it perfumed. add half 10 one teaspoon
full of To-Kalon Perfume. which unites
perfectly with the other ingredients.
This preparation is highly recommend
ed by physicians and specialists. and
is absolutely harmless. as il contains
meme of the poisonous wood alcohol
so frequently found in hair tonics. DO
not apply to the face or where hair
Is not desired.

ABOUT SEEDS.

Il was interested when shown a
days business on senator's desk,
says a writer in a magazine, land
there | noticed an invoice for seeds as
follows:
"One hundred and two packages
vegetable seeds.
Twenty grapevines.
Ninety strawberry vines"
Well, if that is the daily record of
one senator, he ought to be proud OF
it. 1t is difficult to imagine any great
.er real benefit he could bestow upon
his constituents and his country.
Of course, there are people who OBJ
ject. They ask why not send boots
and shoes as well as peas and beans
and why not send groceries on the
same plan?
The answer is that a seed stands in
a class by itself. 1t calls for industry
1t arouses hope. 1t stimulates am
bition. For between the seed and
human qualification there lies labor
which makes manhood.
Seed is like education, not a thing
in itself, for it's own sake, but possess
ing possibilities that can come through
no other means. To give man q
seed is to appeal to the best there is
in him. God gives us soil, mankind

COLDS"
Caused by Lowered Vital Resistance
What To Do For This.

1t is a we'll known fact that when
a person is rundown, stomach out of
order, or the system overloaded with
waste matter, vital resistance is low
cred and colds and coughs are easily
contracted.
The safest and surest method We
know to overcome this condition is
by taking our delicious cod liver and
iron tonic, Vinol. In the most natural
manner Vinol tones up the digestive
organs, promotes a hearty appetite,
enriches the blood and creates
strength for every organ in the body
and as a specific for chronic coughs,
colds and bronchial troubles Vinol is
unexcelled
Mr. Albert Porter of Richmond Hill.
l.. l., says: "All winter l had a bad
cold and a cough which | could not get
rid of, and was badly rundown be-
sides Vinol was the one remedy which
cured my cough and made me we'll in
every way"
Try a bottle of Vinol on our offer
to return your money if it fails to help
you. Leo. H. Fihe, druggist, Richmond,
Ind.
P. S. For rough, scaly skin, try our
Saxo Salve. We guarantee it.

INDUSTRIAL SPIES
NOW IN DISREPUTE
(National News Association


CHICAGO, April 1.-THE industrial
and commercial spy is getting into
disrepute in Chicago, where the neces-
sity of watching the spies made so
many complicated situations that
many houses are going back to a ba-
sis of common honesty, refusing lon
ger to spend money to steal the Sc
crets of their competitors. The spy
system has flourished, however, and
intrigue has regarded as business nee
essity because the other people in the
same business might be using it. One
concern recently found that compe-
titor had nearly half of it's executive
staff under pay to get information and
to upset the cordial relations with
customars so that they might be won
away. Quite by chance telephone
conversation was overheard which dis
closed the facts, one of the tfeacher-
Gus employees being heard to promise
to furnish certain information to the
head of the rival house. On this clue
discoveries were made which caused
the abrupt dismissal of half the office
force. The directors now are hesitat-
ing whether to bring action for con-
spiracy which will reveal to the pub
lie the business methods of the COM
spiracy which will reveal to the public
the business methods of the compost
tor or drop the matter. The intrigue
was calculated to rain the credit and
standingy of the house in a might
d. h. or ho1
made that it would be out of business
in thirty days. Only by keeping watch
day and night was the manager able
to prevent the files and correspond
ence being distracted by the spies and
appropriated to the use of the intri-
guing concern.

RATLIFF HAS LARGE
BIRD COLLECTION

The bird collection of Walter Ratliff,
representing the u. S. survey in East

the audience of several water birds,
shot northwest of the city. A hooded
Merganser. a large duck of the fish
hunting species, migratory bird, very
seldom seen in this locality was noun
ted by Mr.. Ratliff, with several small
er water birds Wilson's snipe was al
so shot and mounted.
Ratliff's collection is quite extensive
at this time, and he is constantly add
ing to it. Richmond is directly in one
of the three great routes chosen by
migratory water birds in their north
ern and southern flights, and several
rare species have been secured and
placed in this collection.

few millions spent for seeds bring

eral, has been quite frequently
mentioned to succeed Attorney
General Miller. 1t is probable
that there will be a multitude OF
candidates for this office.
State Auditor Carlo o. Jorgen
son is said to be even more UNI
popular than Governor Hanna
throughout the state and there
is no question but that he will
have the fight Of his life for re-
election. He will be bitterly
fought by the progressives gener-
ally and by many stalwarts as
we'll. Secretary Of State Hall will
probably have interesting opposi-
ton.
Bernt Anderson Of Ramsey coun-
ty has been frequently mentioned
for commissioner Of agriculture
and labor. It is understood
that Gilbreath will not be a can
didate for reelection.
It is not known whether State
Superintendent Taylor will be a
to succeed himself or
not. Miss Minnie j. Nelson Of
Valley City will probably be a
candidate, and will probably be
if she makes the race.
