on and fought for by him and all his
followers long before Warburton en-
tered the field, and the fact Is we'll
known throughout every county of
the district. In every speech Drury
makes, in every letter sent out in his
support and in every campaign effort
made in his behalf, the one and su-
preme issue is the support of Presi-
dent Wilson and the Wilson peace
policies and legislation. Knowing
this Bull Moosers claim Warburton's
conduct of his campaign is simply
making votes for Drury.
Wanted Him to Resign.
Following Warburton's nomination
the word was passed quietly around
that pressure would be brought by
leading Bull Moosers to have him re-
sign. Warburton deprecatingly wav-
ed all such overtures aside as lightly
as he would blow the foam from
But to stick to things entirely rele-
want, when once Warburton had his
head sufficiently far in the political
trough to get the nomination he
promptly planted both feet in and is
now climbing in bodily and roofing
the best element of the party out in
the cold, cold world.

which is sad" in the words of the

TACOMA, October 9.-"All OF

sad"
That's the pithy way in which q
prominent Bull Mooser here epito-
mizes the facts leading up to Stanton
Warburton's entrance into the con-
gressional race in Southwestern
Washington. The salient fact OF
Warburton's candidacy Is the strong
feeling against him in his own party.
The clean. constructive, progress
sive element of the Progrcssives
wanted Warburton to keep out OF
the fight. He refused to do it. Now
they are letting him make his fight
alone, and he is going at 1t hammer
and tongs. The Bull Moosers have
made friends by the stand they have
taken.

The method Of his madness" Is
such, however, Bull Moosers claim,
that he is boosting Charles Drury, the
Democratic candidate, more than
himself. Through advertising space
he has bought in practically every
newspaper in Southwestern Washing

congressman who will uphold Presi-

Something Funny About Alfships

There is something funny abont
airship business. The public was
just about ready to label the airship
as prctially worthless and put it a.
way in the garret. But there is
good reason for suspicion it is con-
siderably better than reputed. In
fact it is evidently so good that gov
erments have kept all their develop
ment in regard to it close secrets
for military reasons. The Germans
are said to have made revolutionary
changes in design and equipment
and are expected to illustrate these
at the allies expense very soon. 1t
is now known that any good type OF
airship can carry several scores OF
passengers and many tons of freight
and has the further good point OF
being able to remain long time
over given point. A gratifying de-
gree of salty has been attained and
when the war is called off and fuller
possibilities Of the airship have been
put in. evidence, it is hoped that i
can be used to better advantage II

Invisible Aeroplanes.

An invisible aeroplane that may
play no inconsiderable part in the
European war was invented by a
German engineer, and demonstrated
shortly before the great conflict
opened. Instead of having cloth
fabric covering the planes, this aero
plane is constructed Of a sort of
transparent celluloid that is also
fireproof. These celluloid wings let
the light through, leaving only the
framework of the machine apparent
and when at a hight of 5000 feet it
is practically impossible to detect
the aerop!ane at all. The machine
is fitted with a silent motor. which
is also valuable in enabling the air
man scouting over an enemy's posi-
ton to escape detection. A further
advantage is that the aviator's view
is not cut off by the planes.-Ameri-
can Boy.

How to Free Hogs Of Lice.

Lice are one of the worst enemies
of hogs at the present time. In
fermer years hogs we're in the open
more and were able to rid themselv-
es of lice. Moreover it is a matter
that is very easy for us as farmers
to neglect. Lice on hogs are usual
ly behind the ears and on the
shoulders, and when allowed to be-
come great in number they seem to
take all the strength of the hog. 1t
is more easily noticed in the grow
ing animal. The sleeping quarters
Of the hogs should be clean and
sprayed with good disinfectant
about every three weeks. We have
used lime-sulphur spray solution
such as is used in spraying fruit
trees for such purpose and have had
good results. A very strong spray
should be used for this purpose.
The feeding pens should also be dis
infected.
In using the dipping tank care
should be taken that the mixture
used will not injure the animal;
Many farmers do not have a dip.
ping tank but they can free their
hogs of lice to a great extent by
spraying the animals. The hog
should be penned in a small space
when being sprayed, then a man
with sprinkler containing the spray
cln spray the hog fairly well
Though this is not as good as dip
ping method, it should be practiceG
by those who do not have tank

Rritain,a Field Marshala.

A. British field marshal never retires
from the army, London Answers
states. He may be placed on half pay,
but is still borne on the active list.
By the regulations there must not
be more than eight field marshals re-
ceiving pay as such; that is, exclusive
of honorary field marshals, in our
army; such as foreign kings, emperors
and princes. OF the eight regular field
marshals two must be selected from
the Indian army.
To become field marshal an officer
must be a general officer.
AS has been mentioned, field mar
shall never retires; but, on the other
hand, retired general officer may be
promo ted field marshal. The fact that
an officer Is top of the general list
does not necessarily mean that he will
get the first vacant field marshaPs q
baton. for selection Is made irrespec-
tive Of seniority.
The field marshal commanding in the
Mediterranean gets $4,000 a year.
Probably field marshal actively EN-.
ployed will get at least $4,000 year
This is better than the pay of an ad.
miral Of the fleet, who may be said
to be a naval field marshal, and gets
cnly little more than $4,000 a year
exclusive of allowances.

Warship Terms.

The term Tight cruiser" frequently
occurring in war dispatches, is new
and is liable to mislead the casual
reader. It suggests a small vessel.
one employed in skirmishing and in
similar service, whereas 1t may be ap-
piled to cruisers of large displace-
ment and heavy armament. The ORR
gin of the term may be traced back
to the desire of the British admiralty
to coin a designation for vessels not
heavily armored, and yet in some
measure protected against the enemy's
fire by their construction. It desig-
mates vessels that have only deck
armor and those that are without even
this shield. Among the light
cruisers In the British navy are many
which displace more than $500 tons
each, and one tremendous vessel, the
Eclipse, which has the dimensions OF
a dreadnaught.-Bost Transcript.

Called Shoulders

When fall work is first begun
the shoulder Of the horses are apt to
get sore, and when horse has sore
shoulders his usefulness is impaired
in proportion to the severity of the
injury. The first thing to be deter
mined is that the collars shall be of
good, substantial make and that
they fit right. If a collar pinches it
will gall the flesh and skin wher-
ever it nips. If it is too loose the
draft will come on the wrong place,
some place not designed to accept
pressure, and sores will soon make
their appearance. If the collar does
not fit at the top, that is, if it is too
tight or so wide that it warbles, the
horse will be subject to much suf-
fering.
We doubt if it pays to use sweat
pads, though all know that their use
i, almost universal. If horse loses
flesh very readily it is we'll enough
then to fill out his collar, so to speak
with the pads, but if a good fitting
leather collar is kept clean aid
smooth there is no reas n why it
should be numbered with pads.
The collar should at all times be
kept smooth and hard on the side
which touhces the neck. If scurf,
sweat and dirt is allowed to collect
on the be ea,ing surface it will surely
gall the neck.
1t is often well to wash the neck
thoroughly in in strong brine On
coming home from work. Some
goodsfarmers use water, hot or cold,
the idea being to get the neck clean
and free of foreign matter of al
sort.-Indiana Farmer.

political preoccupations to face an
unanticipated fate.
