to get the full benefit of all tnal >
coming, the bugs must needs be in the
grandstand not later than 4:30 O'Clock
ON Friday to enjoy the guaranteed at
traction TO the limit. There is uv
doubt about the quality of the show
that will be staged. In proof of this
assertion, simply take INTO considera-
ton the fact that not member Of
either team has had an intimate ac-
qnaintance with baseball, at least
since last season, and that was mercy
passing word. There is also not a
man on either team who cannot enter
tain one hour with thrilling stories of
how he used to wallop 'em to the un-
trimmed cedars with the bases load
ed, climb over centerfield fence and
save a game by pulling down long
drive or strike out at least 27 men in
a single contest.

Where two lines of steamers one on

Wabash, Ind May 5.--Whether the
vets can come back was the issue
here today when the vets and drys
met at the polls following a wordy
canlpaign Of nearly month. This
ciSy has been without saloons for two
years. A feature of the campaign was
the charge OF the drys that the vets
scattered beer bottles in the stairways
and alleys to give false impression
that the city did a thriving blind tiger
business.

When Glands Swell

Even a Sweat Gland May
Result in Severe
Consequence

In our intricate body the use of S. s.
S. for the blood has most remarkable
influence. We little realize our gland
ular system. 1t may be tiny bulb no
bigger than a pin point, and yet IL a
disease germ gets into It. there is a
tremendous swelling. 1t becomes a
boil, carbuncle, it may be blood
rising" and 1t is often source of con-
tinuous misery If not checked. Many
of the most excruciatins forms of tor
ture begin with the swelling of a tiny
gland, caused by a disease germ. And
it is S. S. S, that spreads throughout
the blood circulation to prevent just
such conditions. Or If they have al
ready started. S. S. S, will soon put the
blood in such a state of health as to
overcome the tendency to giandular
swellings. 1t is natural medicine for
the blood. Just as essential to health il
the blood be impure, as are the meats,
fats, grains and sugars of our daily
food.

purpose of which is to stimulate the

Washington, d. c. - Employers
throughout the United States-corpor-
ations, manufacturers, professional
men, tradesmen and business men Of
all classes--are to be asked to contrib
ute as their share in the national de-
fense permission for their employees
to engage. without serious financial
loss, in two months military training
during each OF three years.
This Is an essential part of the ad-
ministration's plan for raising a citi-
zen army Of SOC, 900 men In six years.
which, with the regular army OF 140,-
900 men and 100000 reserves, would
give trained force. exclusive OF state
militia. OF about / 200 900 in the event
OF war.
The success of the plan, officials ad-
NIT, depends not on the appropriation
OF congress. for its cost will be com
paratively small, but on the patriotic
response Of employers to whom an ap
peal will be made to furlough as many
men each year, at different seasons
as they can spare and who wish tc
join the proposed continental army.
Administration officials are conf
dent that, even though it is proposed
to enlist only 1890 men In the yeal
in the continentals, or a total Of near
ly 100000 In the first six-year period,
more than that number would be at
tracted by the outdoor life of a mill
tary camp IL they could be assured BY
their employers that their positions
would not be lost and their earnings
seriously decreased
The proposed enlistment requires
two months service for each of thres
years and liability for service during
the remaining three years only in
event of war.
The army plans for more than 1000.
900 trained men in six years, and thu
navy program of ten dreadnoughti
and six battle cruisers within fiv'
years, both of which will be presented
to congress with the Endorsement o
President Wilson, were the absorbing
topics OF interest here.

Out in Kansas where they strive to
please, the women ought to have small
cause for complaint il II is possible to
deprive the sex OF that inaIienable
right
Here are some OF the things a wo-
man OF the Sunflower state may legal
1y do:
Can take back her maiden name af-
ter her husband Is dead. without any
legal process or legislative act
Can keep her own name when she
is married
Can persuade her husband to take
her name and give up his family name
II she does not like it,
Can keep her maiden name and her
husband can keep his
Can retain her maiden name for bus
iness transactions and Use her hus-
bands name for social affairs
If wife does not like either her own
or husbands family name they can
change to a name that does suit
A woman can wear mems clothing
without any restriction except that she
must not pose as a man.
She can vote at every election
She can hold any office in the state
and run for congress

Wheat Farmers Holding Firmly.

Portland-The Merchants Exchange
was closed Tuesday on account OF the
holiday The country wheat markets
were also quiet
Grain farmers in the interior are
holding their wheat firmly in antici-
patton of higher prices. They have
followed this policy for the first two
months of the season and are well sat
isfied with the results. AS most OF
them are independent they are not
likely to upset values by general
selling movement AS an indication
of the way supplies are being held
back in the country IT is cited that on
the lines of the Spokane & Inland rail
way there are now 1,366,676 bags of
wheat, against 100000 bags at this
time last year
Broomhall in his weekly information
al review says
1.-The general position of the market
is about unchanged with the under
tone strong and an advancing tenden-
cy.
THE evidence is becoming increas-
ingly plain that the worlds supply OF
wheat will be abundant for the season,
and the abnormally large receipts in
both the United States and Winnipeg
of spring wheat indicate that the per.
iod of scarcity is about ending and re
cent large purchases, in a quiet way
indicate that a good share of these
supplies will eventually reach the Uni
ted Kingdom
THE urgent demand, which is be
coming pronounced, from Mediterran
can countries. and the extraordinary
strength in freights. may prevent any
immediate decline.
