Naval Code Deeka.

On every ship in the American navJ
the commanding officer and the second
in command are each furnished with
copy OF the secret naval code of the
government. These books are bound
not as ordinary books, in cloth covers
but in heavy metal backs. The objec'
is to prevent them from falling in the
hands of the enemy, for their weight Is
so great that, when thrown into the
water, they sink Immediately. where
as, II bound in the usual manner, the
spreading of the leaves might keel
them atloat long enough to permit
vigilant enemy to pick them up.
These officers are commanded first
of all things to throw these book over
board before surrendering their YES
sells or whenever there is danger Of al
enemy getting aboard. The capture OF
one of these books. 1t is considered by
the naval authorities. would be more
disastrous in time of war than the
loss OF a battleship.

DEATH OF MRS. RYDELL

Mrs. Mary f. Rydell died Thurs
day, Dec. 10, of heart disease at
Riverside, California, where she
and her children had gone about
four weeks ago for the benefit of
her health.
Mrs Rydell was one of our
pioneer citizens, having come to
the valley with her parents from
Sweden in 1882. She received
her education in our public schools
and nine years ago was married to
Chas. o. Rydell, who died three
years ago, his death being caused
by exposure during the flood of
October, 1911, when he was COM
PEELED to work for many hours in
the water to save his stock from
drowning. Besides her two chill
dren, aged six and eight, Mrs. Ry-
dell leaves her mother, Mrs. Q. j.
Nelson, and two brothers, John
and Gust, residing here, and one
brother, Malcolm, who resides in
Denver, to mourn her untimely de-
mise. She was only SO years of
age. Her circle of friends WAS
large one.
Last March her condition be-
came alarming, and although she
stayed here about nine months be-
fore seeking the lower altitude Of
California, her health was so much
better on reaching that place that
her friends held out every hope for
her ultimate recovery.

most absolutely opposite to hers and
the jury evidently believed the man

DEFECTS in REVENUE
BILLS SHOWN BY s.
REP. FORDNEY

Washington, Sept. 25.-Congress-
man Joseph w. Fordney, of Saginaw,
had the honor Of suggesting the only
amendment allowed by the Demo-
Gratis to their emergency war revenue
bill. The majority members Of the
House, led by Mr.. Underwood, pur-
sued the same tactics in the construc-
tion of this bill as they did the tariff
bill passed at the special session in
1913. This means that the Demo-
Gratis members of the ways and
means committee framed the bill and
on the day it was introduced in the
House called in the Republican men,
bers for the first time.
1t was not the intention to allow
Republicans to have any voice in the
construction of the measure, but Mr..
Fordney called attention to the fact
that a serious omission had been
made. This was the leaving out of
the word "motor spirits" from the
list of oil products that were TO be
taxed. Motor spirits is the CONNER
cial name of a certain fine grade Of
gasoline manufactured by the Stand
ard Oil Company and used largely by
automobile owners. The omission OF
this word might have resulted in large
quantities of gasoline escaping taxa.

BLOCKS EXTENSION OF PARCEL
TO CUBA.

Fordney Sees Menace to American
Cigar Industry in Allowing Small
Shipments.
Washington, Sept. "a. "A bill which
might have brought hundreds Of small
manufacturers and cigar dealers into
sharp, sompetition with the Cuban pro-
duct was blocked by Congressman Ford
ney in the ways and means committee
Under the present tariff law Cuban
cigars can be imported at 90 per cent
less duty than those from other coun-
tries, but they cannot be imported in
quantities less than 5000. Members of
the cammitee had proposed billto
allow these cigars to come in in lots as
small as 500.
Such aabill would make II possible for
the Cuban manufacturer to send his
cigars 10 this country by parcel post as
500 cigar package would come within
the size limit. The postmaster general
is anxious to make parcel post agree
ment with Cuba. but representatives of
that country insist that the law be
changed SO that cigars may be sent in
smaller packages, .Coner ssman Ford.
ney pointeI out that this arrangement
would be very unfair to the American
manufacturer. II would enable the
Cuban under the low duty to carry his
business directly to the American con-
surner Of cigars. Snch law would be
. serious menace to the small dealer
and manufacturer Of cigars Through
Congressman Fordney's influence con.
alteration Of the bill has been postponed
indefinitely. .s

Fall In> !uding Several Impo T.
ant Offices.
If Governor Ferris is reelected for
another term of two years the pat
ronage at the disposal of the chief
executive will enable the democrats
to gain control of practically every
appointive Office in the state and near
ly all of the state boards.
Should Chase s. Osborn poll the
most votes at the November election,
several of the state offices now under
democratic control will again be un-
der the jurisdiction of the republi-
cans and the new appointments will
come from the ranks of the G. O. p.
There will be more patronage at
stake this fall than in the election of
two years ago. A banking cimmis-
sioner is appointed every four years
and the term of the present commits
sioner, f. H. Doyle, expires in Janu-
AIRY. He was appointed four years
ago by Osborn. This is a particular
ly juicy plum and is much sought af-
ter.
Another important appointment
will be the selection of a state game
warden. The term of William r.
Oates as state game and forestry war
den will expire July l, 1915. This
appointment is good for four years,
and as the game warden has the APP
pointment of several hundred depu-
ties, it gives the administration in
power considerable political strength.
If Osborn wins he will have the
opportunity to make two appoint
ments on the state railroad commits
sion. The term of G. L. Glasgow,
who has been on the commission near
ly six years, will expire in January
and Commissioner Charles Cunning
ham, who was selected to fill the va
cancy caused by the death of James
Scully, must be confirmed by the SEN
ate. This will give Osborn the pow
er to pick two men on the railroad
commission and he can select two re.

Mr.. Smith in the head.
The stories OF the affair differ Smith
claiming that while his son was driving
from the field Pease and Horton began
bothering the boy and said something
Horton did not like and Horton at
tackled him and the father came to his
aid and he and Horton rolled into the
ditch and while in that position Pease
took up stone and hit the man on the
head. Pease then ran away but Hor.
ton remained and assisted in getting
Mr.. SIN ith to the road Horton claims
that he took young Smith to task for
something he had said and Smith re-.
piled by calling him names. He then
slapped the boy and the father came
and urged his son to whip Horton, fin
ally deciding to do it himself and while
they were fighting Pease threw the
store
Horton is son of John Horton team
