Political GOSSIP

With the Henry A Barnhart
candidacy somewhat up in the air,
"a number of local men are being
mentioned as possible aspirants for
the 18th district nomination, and a
few of them are lending a receptive
ear. William A. McInerny is not
one of them, emphatically, he says,
and adds that he is too busy prac-
ticing law to consider the place.
Chester r. Montgomery is busy do
ing something. but whether or not
it is feeling out along congressional
lines is not known. The only two
South Bend men mentioned who
seem at all inclined toward the race
are Frank r. Herring and @. A Fara-
baugh. Both, however, are watch
fully-waiting, and Herring declares
he has been too busy to even read
up on the proposition. John b.
Faulkner of Michigan City is men
toned by a South Bend correspond
ent in a dispatch 10 one Of the state
papers, but from Michigan City
comes p decided nix and a sug-
gestiye index finger is pointed at the
state prison. But Barnhart hasn't
made up his mind vet, and won't for
a few days at least.
Regarding Rep. Barnhart's atti-
tude on the coming race, the Starke
County Democrat says: For the
good Of the people we hope to see
him returned to congress next fall, -
and the North Judson News says,
regarding a withdrawal, "A state
ment of this kind Will be disappoint-
ing TO the congressman many
friends over the district, who are
hopeful that he will reconsider his
decision" These are but two of the
many comments favorable to the
Rochester man.
Regarding Faulkner. the Indiana
Times says:

Some Troubles Bill Had.

Bill Turner, was a farmer, who
laboTed all his life. He didn't have
no schooling, and neither had his
wife. But Bill was built for bust
ness and made the wheels go round,
and left healthy fortune when they
put. him under ground He was al
ways taking chances, paid a hundred
for bull. His neighbors called him
crazy, but he left stable full of
COWS that broke the record, making
butter by the ton, an Bill had Lis
picture printed in the Squeedunk
Weekly Sun He had newfanglGl
notions of making farming pay. He
even bought a fool machine to help
him load his hay. The neighbors
fairly snorted when they saw the
bloomin' thing; said Bill would new
er make it work. 1t vast worth A
ding Bill didn't say single word,
and didn't care darn bout what
they said, for slick as grease, his
hay went in the barn an hour be-
fore a thunder storm came sailin'
out that way and caught his neigh
bors in a pinch and spoiled tn cir
new mown hay. Bills neighbors put
their milk in cans, and set 'em in a
tank. Bill skinned his milk with
a machine and turned it with a
crank. Smith chops his firewooG
with an AK. Bill used some gasoline
and saws a hundred cords day with
another blamed machine. To-Day
Bills wife rides in car and dresses
up in silk. Smiths wife rides in a
wagon and keeps on skimming milk.

THE COFFIN NAIL HABIT.

If there is anything that will
make a mans anger rise to the
point where snow lies all the year
round, it is to see some little shaw
er, who ought to be home in his mo-
theirs lap listening to lullabys, go
ing arc nd the town sucking snipe,
or in other words to see him smok-
ing a cigaret This is one of the
most vicious practices that a young
fellow can get into, and unless some
body gives him good, hard kick
in the caboose end of his trousers
and wakes him Up to the fact, he will
grow up so close to the ground that
somebody will step on him.
The idea that smoking pill is
cute, should be unloaded off that be-
fuddled individuals brain, or what
there is left of it, like breakfast foods
shot out of gun, and then after
this operation has been completed
he will be in better position to han
die the work that may fall to him to
do, for it is a dead cinch that a pill
roller is not as efficient as a man
who abstains from their use.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

Every housekeeper should know:
That salt should be kept in dry
place.
That melted butter will not make
good cake.
That mutton should be deep red
and close-grained.
That veal should be white, dry
and close-grained.
That good management is better
than a good income.
That the colder eggs are the
quicker they will froth.
That nutmegs should be grated at
the blossom end first.
That the best poultry has firm
flesh, yellow skin and legs.
That lemons will keep for weeks
if covered with cold water.
That to make good pastry the in
gradients must be very cold.
That 60 degrees is not too low
for the temperature of a dining
room.
That the best beef is moderately
fat, and the flesh of bright red
color.
That pork should be fine, close
grained, and the rind smooth and
thin.
That soap and chalk mixed and
rubbed on widowed spots will re-
move them
That brush dipped in salt water
furniture.
That a spoonful of vinegar added
to the water in which meat or fowls
are boiled makes them tender.
If a rug curls, moisten it and
wrap it around a broomstick, in the
opposite way from its desires, then
tie and let it dry.
That good macaroni is of a yell
lowish tint does not break readily in
cooking, and swells to three or four
times it's bulk.
Rub the hands on celery after US
ing onions, and the smell will in
stantly disappear. The outer leaves
may be saved for this purpose.
Have tablet, with pencil attach
ed, fastened to a nail in the pantry,
on which to make note of groceries
needed. Jot it down as soon as you
discover you are out of anything,
then when you send to the grocer S
the list is ready and nothing is for
gotten.
An excellent way to fricasee fowl
is first to cut it up. Then fry salt
pork in a kettle with hot water and
pepper. Fill kettle two-thirds full
of cold water into which place the
meat, and portions as desired of on
ion, carrot, parsnip and turnip. Gov
er with cabbage, pepper and butter
and little sage. Simmer an hour
to the pound for a small quantity.
The meat can be fried in buttered
spider to brown if desired. Salt
only at finish.

TOWN PROMOTION. NO. 3.

| The previous editorial in this SER
les suggested that the first thing to
make town grow, is to get the
townspeople to work to spread the
good reputation of the town, as a
business and residence center. This
is fundamental, but it takes time to
bring about results which come 50
largely through mental attitude.
Meanwhile towns that are ambitious
for speedy advancement usually get
out and hustle for new manufacture
ing industries.
1t is the feeling of men with ex-
perience in board of trade work, that
almost any town having reasonably
, good transportation facilities can set
new industries, if it is willing to
work for them. But many efforts of
this kind are i'll judged
Factories frequently move out in
to country towns to get cheap labor.
If they do not require highly skilled
help, the results may be good. If
they do need skilled work people,
the experiment is dubious. If con-
Germ is not adapted to the locality
and has to move on, it hurts the re-
putation of the town as a business
center. The place is worse off than
it was before the industry came.
Boards of trade commonly sub
scribe to press clipping bureaus, CIV
ing news Of concerns that contem-
plate expansion. They follow lists
of incorporation of new companies,
and they send letters and circulars
to all such openings. They find plen-
ty of companies that would like a
new location, but many of them mere
tramps that stay only while they get
favors.
means business will usually pay its
own way If it wants a factory, it
should either pay moderate rental,
or pay installments on the value of
the building so as to acquire it in
time.
If committee of business men
will make a systematic effort to find
industries worth securing, the thing
can usually be done. Hundreds of
letters may have to be written, to all
kinds of possible chances, before one
reply is received worth considering.
But clerk hire is not costly, and per-
sistence wins out in the end.
New industries might come here ii
our business men had the persever-
ance to follow up the matter to con-
clusion. Too often, after circulars
are sent out and few letters writ
ten, a committee becomes discourag-
ed and allows the matter to drift. la
that case, the town that hangs on af-
ter others become disheartened is
the one that gets the new business.

That youth and courage are prac-
tically synonymous terms is simply
demonstrated in the person OF Art"
Smith, the young man that is startl-
ing the civilized world by his fear
less and extraordinary work in the
world of aerial navigation. There
have been some remarkable men be-
fore the public of recent years, but
none to compare with young Smith.
He is the wonder of the times. Last
year visitors to the Iowa State Fair
and Exposition were thrilled and de-
lighted beyond expression by the work
of the late Lincoln Beachey. and
while his evolutions high in air were
of the most signal and unusual char
acter they were almost tame along
side the stunts that Smith is turning.
He does all that have ever been done
by other men and then contributes a
few extras by way Of good measure.
He will be seen at his best at the
Iowa State Fair and Exposition. That
portion of humanity that loves the

WHAT is A DUDE.

A dude is parsonage which per-
sists in wearing a monocle cooked
in his right eye, hangs on to the
use of the words "cawn't" and don't
cherknow" and wears a balmacaan
in the warm and balmy days that
are now upon us. To see one OF
these specimens of high society dain-
tily tripping along in a pair of foot
binders with a cane hooked over his
left arm, or the other one as the
case may be, will make the ordinary
mortal sick and faint at heart and
these people to the rest of us? None
whatsoever. They continue to think
that we are all right but that if we
ventured up to the ethereal realm
where they are wont to make their
abode we would be sadly out of line
and we might get into somebody's
way.
Those geeks who never get out of
the flax until the sun has passed the
half way post are about as much
benefit to this world as some other
things we can easily mention. To
encourage these classes of people
would be to establish caste system
in this fair land where all men are
rope around the necks of all who
were not born with a silver spoon
rammed into their face.

sensational in show stunts-which
takes in the most of us-will certain
ly be able to get their FILL for a time
at least, of the unusual. For Smiths
contract with the fair management
calls for a long list Of sensational
performances that no other aviator
before the public today dares to even
attempt. For instance, he agrees to
fly straight up to the height of 2,5OO
feet, looping the loop ten times in
succession on the way up; he agrees
to do what he calls roll over loop,
finishing within 800 feet OF the ground.
In this act the machine is turned
over sidewise, sort OF sidewise sum-
mersault. He will do a vertical drop
of anywhere from 1000 to 5000 feet;
he will fly with the machine upside
down, hands free Of the steering
wheel and arms outstretched; he is
10 ay at night, looping the loop not
less than three times in succession
with fireworks display of fifty pieces
attached to the aeroplane.
