Dear Mrs. Editor:

Dear Mrs. Editor:
as the REGULAR candidate of the
Democracy of the Eighth Con-
greSs,onal District / feel confident
of receiving a majority of the
votes cast on November Bird and
being elected. but inasmuch as a
socialist candidate is in the field
l beg, through the columns of
your valuable PAPER, to express
the hope that every Democrat in
the Eighth District will make a
special effort to cast his vote on
this date, and make the Dem =
cratic majority as large as posi-
BILE.
Gratefully yours.

presided at last nights meeting. Plans
were also made for holding a flower
show in Washington next fall. Many
local florists have been attaching prizes
with gay abandon at out-of-town shows,
and they have about decided that II their
flowers look so good to outsiders. they
may as well have a little show Of their
own.
Full plans OF the enterprise will be de-

There's a famine in the white carna-
ton market this spring, but that's the
very least OF the matter from the florists
standpoint.
Sunday will be Mothers Day." and on
Mothers Day a goodly portion Of
the more than 10000 inhabitants Of
Washington are expecting to wear white
carnations in their buttonholes. Accord
ing to the florists. there will be a large
percentage of the 10000 disappointed.
because they don't believe there's 30, 200
carnations in town.
The matter Is so serious that the
members of the Washington Florists
Club. meeting at their headquarters at
1874 F street northwest last night, made
plans for a strenuous campaign within
the next four days to change the sym
bol of Mothers Day" from a white
carnation to a white flower Of any de-
scription.
There's a good reason for this, the
florists say. because the carnations are
going out OF sight in price. owing to their
scarcity. II they can get the symbol
changed, there will be just about enough
real tony folks left In town to pay the
high price for white carnations, while

HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING
HEATED BY ELECTRICITY
In Rupert. Idaho. Current Is Found to
Be Practical for All Branches
of Work

The first large building in the world
to be heated by electricity is a high
school located in Rupert. Idaho. The
installation OF this particular system of
electric heat is reported to he a complete
success. Electricity is also being used
in this building for an elaborate system
Of lighting. for power. cooking. ironing.
for shower baths. and lavatories.
The cooking room and science room for
evaporation purposes in the chemical
hood. for lanterns. and now apparatus
is being prepared for taking the place of
Runsen burners. In case the odorS from
the cooking become offensive the eleCtri-
cal engineers are prepared to install an
electric ozoniZer to destroy the odors.
Although the work began in the dead
Of winter. with bitter cold heavy winds
and a new and thoroughly cold building
II has never used more than two-thirds
of the estimated amount OF current re-
quired. This building is said to he the
second installation OF its kind in the
world.

silver Prices Advance.
One effect of the trouble with Mexico
which has escaped general observation
has been the gradual advance In the
price OF bar silver. AT yesterdays price
OF q 3-l6d the white metal was just
| about Id. or cents higher than IL was
at the beginning OF the year. Quoted IN
American currency il was worth yester-
day SO l-2 cents an ounce. This advance
is quite justifiabIe in view of the dis
turbance below The Rio Grande. Mexico
in normal times produces about half the
annual output of silver.
The Presidents Appointments.
The Federal Reserve Board selected by
the President is not causing that en-
thusiasm which it was hoped would fol-
low the announcement This especially
is true since Mr.. Olney has declined TO
serve.
The criticism is not aimed so much at
the men appointed as at the Presidents
