dwelt particularly on ''overappro.
priations" made by the last Leg
islature. He said the state cover
allowed" about $3,0OO,O00. and
that he vetoed about two millions
of this transportation.
He said the revenue of the state
was reduced about $500, 900 on ac-
count of decreases in the revenue
from the Penitentiary and the
liquor interests. He told of hav-
ing to pay about $4,000 in def
cheney bills created by the. admin
istration.
The conflagration at Warrens-
burg, when the State Normal
School was destroyed, caused an
additional expense of $250,000.
He showed that the revenue from
saloons had been cut $4,000
through the victories of the drys
in various counties.
He said that while the burdens
of the State had been increased
about $500, 900, despite this fact,
he said the obligations of the state
would be met and that there
would not be any increased taxa
tion. He reviewed the achieve
ments of the State administers

OF laughter when he stated he
was out on parole" He declared
he had earned the enmity of some
Republican politicians and of the
Republican press because he stood
by Democracy.
II never thought there was a
Republican good enough to hold
office" he said. I'm for our
Senators, Congressman, Governor,
Secretary of State, Attorney Gen.
eral, State Treasurer and every
Democrat who holds office.
"There has been lot Of talk
about salaries. During 19O7-0S
the pay roll of my predecessor
was $38, 8O7.4 40, the expenses of
my office during the biannual
period of 1894 was $70,256.89,
that is an increase. Consider the
fact that the previous Republic
can Auditor collected only 81 :
S7O.OS while in 1924 my collec-
tons were O8,O3O.93.
"There has been much criticism
over an expenditure of 5000 for
travelling expenses. Some Of our
Republican friends expended
from 5000 to 50, 900 for similar ex-
penses, and there was no howl !
"There has been much talk
about the school funds. You peo-
pie in Vernon County have not re-
ceived as much money this year
for your schools as you expected,
but you will get more than antic-
ipated. 1t has been my duty to-
make the apportionment Of the
school money. 1t is necessary for
us to get q ruling from the SUI.

OvERREACHED THEMSELVES.

The Republican politicians who
instigated the misdemeanor pro-
eeedings filed against State Aud
itor John p. Gordon oyerreached
themselves, and members Of their
own party who are big enough to
be outside the peanut class are
condemning the action.
Mr.. Gordon is charged with the
heinous offense of charging the
state with his expenses on a trip
to Salt Lake City to attend a ma
tional gathering Of state officials,
and in so doing followed a pre-
cedent which has been maintained
for many years by state officials.
Governor Hadley expended
$59O.65 on trips to various points
during his administration, and
his factory inspector. w. w. Will
iams, the Republican Insurance
Commissioners Frank Blake and
John Kennish, Adjutant General
Rumbold and other Republican
state officers followed ont this
precedent without criticism.

RURAL SOCIAL cENTERs

We need social centers where our
young people can be entertained,
amused and instructed under the di-
rection of cultured. clean and COM
petent leadership, where aesthetic
surroundings stir the love for the
beautiful, where art charges the at
mosphere with inspiration and power,
and innocent amusements instruct
and brighten their lives.
To hold our young people on the
farm we must make farm life more
attractive as we'll as the business of
farming more remunerative. The
school house should be the social unit,
properly equipped for nourishing and
building character, so that the lives of
our people can properly function
around it and become supplied with
the necessary elements of human
thought and activity.

CHILDREN LIVE bY JUMPING
Ancient and Remarkable Form of
Labor Persists in English
Pottery Region.

London.-From the Midlands comes
the report of a still existing and re-
markable form of child labor 1t is
mentioned by Dr. A. A. Hill of Tun-
stall, Staffordshire, in the report of
the chief Inspector of factories and
workshops for 1913. Describing the
work Of children who, working as
handle-maaers, earn a living in the
potteries by jumping, he says:
Small and understood boys and
girls are usually engaged as handle
makers; in fact many havel to reach
the workbench by standing on boxes
or stools. The strip Of clay for the
handle is placed in the hollow space
between the halves of the mold, which
is then put on the edge of the bench,
and the young worker, making a short
spring or jump, presses with the full
weight of his body upon the top Of
the mold, repeating this process $50
to 200 times per hour
Great pain and tenderness" Doctor
Hill adds, ARE thus induce and
many young workers have to give up
the occupation on account of their
suffering, which could easily be pre-
vented by little thought"

ALL TO SAVE A DOGS LIFE
= Their Courses to Rescue Drown
Ing Bull Terrier.

Duluth, Minn.-The story of how
three lake steamers turned out of their
courses in order that the life of a dog
might be saved was told when the
W. H. Bixby of Detroit docked here
Scott Worden, master of the Bixby,
took his pedigreed bull terrier Tige on
the trip up the lakes. Tige became a
great favorite, particularly with Mau-
rice Mcmillan, owner of the vessel,
and Mrs. Mcmillan, who made the voy-
age. When in White Fish bay the
dog fell overheard, there was conster-
nation.
The Bixby forged far ahead before
she could turn and put back. Then
Captain Worden signaled the steamer
T. F. Cole, which had been following,
and passenger steamer of the North
ern Navigation company to look out
for the dog. The Bixby lowered boat
and Tige, swimming bravely but al.
most exhausted, was picked up.

CUTS OUT FLICKER
New Invention May RevoIutionize
Moving Picture Business.
Demonstration Recently Made in Lon.
don Seems to Prove That Long
Sought-For Machine Has Made
Its Appearance.

Last week there was demonstrated
in London new protector which will
in all proba bility revolutionize certain
departments of the moving picture
trade. The Vanascope, which is the
name of the new machine, is so con-
structed that the continual flicker,
often so tiresome, Is entirely eliminat-
ed. The machine has no shutter, and
each picture, by means of rotary and
osclllatlng mirrors, is allowed to fade
into the next, there being no mask
line. Another advantage claimed for
the new invention is that where an or
binary protector throws upon the
screen minimum of 16 pictures sec.
ond, the Vanascope only projects four.
BY this means only 300 feet of film
is required to do the work that now
requires a thousand, thus making the
cost Of production considerably less.
The cost of lighting will also be con-
slderably reduced, saving of 25 per
cent amperage being possible In
America orders for Vanascopes are
pouring in thick and fast, and so high
ly do the critics on this side think of
It that it is expected that the machine
will shortly be installed in all the prin-
cipal theaters in Great Britain and on
the continent

FARMER RADFORD ON
WOMAN SUFFRAGE

The home is the greatest contribu-
ton of women to the world, and the
hearthstone is her throne Our So
cial structure is built around her, and
social righteousness is in her charge.
Her beautiful life lights the skies Of
hope and her refinement is the charm
of twentieth century civilization. Her
graces and her power are the cumu-
lative products of generations of
queenly conquest, and her crown of
exalted womanhood is jeweled with
the wisdom of sanity mothers. She
has been a great factor in the glory
of our country, and her noble achieve
ments should not be marred or her
hallowed influence blighted by the
coarser duties of citizenship. Ameri-
can chivalry should never permit her
to bear the burdens of defending and
maintaining government, but should
preserve her unsullied from the allied
Influences of politics, and protect her
from the weighty responsibilities of
the sordid affairs Of life that will
crush her ideals and lower her stand
ards. The motherhood of the farm
is our inspiration, she is the guardian
of our domestic welfare and Q guide
to higher life, but directing the af-
fairs of government is not within wo-
mans sphere, and political gossip
would cause her to neglect the home.

THE COUNTY FAIR
BY Peter Radford
Lecturer National Farmers Union


The farmer gets more out of the
fair than anyone else. The fair to a
city man is an entertainment to a
farmer it is education. Let us take a
stroll through the fair grounds and
linger a moment at a few OF the points
of greatest interest. We will first
visit the mechanical department and
hold communion with the worlds
greatest thinkers.
You are now attending congress of
the mental giants in mechanical sci
ence OF all ages. They are addressing
you in tongues of iron and steel and
in language mute and powerful tell an
eloquent story of the worlds progress,
The inventive geniuses are the most
valuable farm hands we have and
they perform an enduring service to
mankind We can all help others for
a brief period while we live, but it
takes master mind to tower into the
realm of science and light torch of
progress that will illuminate the path
way of civilization for future genera
tions. The men who gave us the
sickle, the binder, the cotton gin and
hundreds of other valuable inventions
work in every field on earth and will
continue their labors as long as time
Their bright intellects have conquered
death and they will live and serve
mankind on and on forever, without
money and without price. They have
shown us how grand and noble it is
to work for others; they have also
taught us lessons in economy and eff
cheney, how to make one hour do the
work of two or more; have length.
ened our lives, multiplied our
opportunities and taken toll off the
back of humanity.
They are the most practical men
the world ever produced. Their in
ventions have stood the acid test of
utility and efficiency. Like all useful
men, they do not seek publicity, yet
millions of machines sing their praises
from every harvest field on earth and
as many plows turn the soil in mute
applause Of their marvellous achieve
ments.

Supervisors Silent.

Constable John Roberts notified the
chairman of the board of supervisors
last Saturday that the county road
between Parker and Empire Flat was
so badly washed out in places that
1t was impossible and asked that an
expenditure of $25 be authorized for
repairs. The supervisors have not
replied to the message, but as the
work had to be done to make the
road passable Mr.. Roberts proceeded
to make the necessary repairs 1t
is hoped that the supervisors will
attend to the further repair of the
highway.
