Is this the hope held out by
the poet, Robert Browning
when he wrote
Grow old along with me;
The best is yet to be

Sure. It's enough reward for
Joseph lie Gard to know that
he has completed 1913 good
years of accomplishment with
body and brain that 1913

It's enough reward to be
sure that natures laws never

to waste, but conserve them
-somewhere-as strong as
the day they were put forth.
It's enough for Joseph lie
Gard to know that he has

And certainly, after 1913
years of strenuous American
life man is entitled to have
someone take care of him.
He's got it coming to him.

MISSOULA, Mont, Nov. 29.-
What's to become of congress with
a woman in its ranks?
While the nation was still rub
bling its eyes over the novelty of a
woman's winning a place in the
national body of lawmakers, the
woman herself, Miss jeanette
Rankin, is at home here with her
family, soberly preparing for her
invasion of Washington.
First of her sex to win these ma
tional honors, she is saying moth
ing as to what she proposes doing
when she gets to the capitol, IN
the meanwhile the nation is doing
its utmost to make her a curios-
lily.
Wide Experience
Newspaper men and movie men
are besieging her home by night
and by day, but with gentle re-
Bluffs Miss Rankin is consistently
denying them a peep into her po-
litical plans.
For eight years she has worked
for suffrage. She has sacrificed
her time and money. Through her
campaigns to place her sex on a
par with men at the polls she has
achieved national prominence.
A young, western woman is
Miss Rankin. Her life was begun
on a Montana ranch.
Did Settlement Work
nprtpo hAr anIIA.a ao,ao.. Mia
Rankin paid frequent visits to the
east. The swarming tenement dis
|tricts, with their neglected, half
starved children aroused her SYM
pathies. She plunged into a deep
study of social conditions. And
this led to social settlement work
In the great eastern metropolis
and San Francisco.
Miss Rankin generated the COM
paign for the suffrage amendment
in Montana's legislature In 1911
liz.
And she was chairman of the
Montana Suffrage ASST, which
waged a statewide campaign In
this winning fight of 1914.
Went to New Zealand
During that time, too, she car
ried on the fight elsewhere. In
|1911-12, she lobbied in the New
York legislature for suffrage as
field secretary Of the National
Suffrage Assn. To her was en-
trusted the suffrage bills that
went before the legislatures of
Delaware, Florida, North Dakota
land New Hampshire.

BURTON HOME DYNAM|TEO

Louis LOffgren, rancher
living onc-half mile west of
Burton on VashOn island, was
possibly fatally injured, and
Young daughter was Sc
riOusly hurt at 1880 o'clock
Wednesday morning when a
big charge of dynamite ex-
plOded under the Loffgren
home, completely wrecking it.
Mrs. Loffgren and five other
children escaped with bruises and
decorations, although the ranch
house, two-story structure, col
lapsed like a house of cards,
burying the entire family be-
meath 1t.
King county sheriff's officers
are investigating the explosion.
Family All Asleep.
There was no dynamite in the
Loffgren home, and no one is
known to have had grudge
against the rancher or bis family.
The charge was large enough
to have killed the entire family, it
is believed, had it been placed in
a different part of the house.
Mr.. and Mrs. Loffgren and their
six children were asleep when the
explosion occurred. The powder
was in the very center of the
house, either laying on the sitting
room floor or on the ground I'M
der the house.
A great hole was blown through
the house. and the roof and side
walls tumbled into 1t.
The explosion awakened every
one on Vashon island, and inside
of 10 minutes there were so res
cuers at the Loffgren home to
pull the injured family from the
debris.
Officers Investigate.
DR.. G.. o. Ireland, formerly of
Tacoma, who is now operating a
sanitarium at Burton, was sum-
moned to the scene and spent the
remainder of the night and most
of Wednesday morning caring for
the injured. Deputy Sheriff Stone
summoned aid from Seattle to in
vestigate the crime.
A son of the injured rancher
came to Tacoma early Wednesday
and notified the police of the dy-

A WARNING!

Some signers of initiative %, the nonpartisan
bill, are wasting their ammunition. They are
FORGETTING their say-so on this important meas
ure. They are doing it by careless signing.
Each copy of the petition has spaces for just
20 names few well-meaning citizens, after
filling these blanks, have gone ON and generously
tackled to the bottom of the sheet a blank page
and thereon gathered other names. Such sigma
lures are illegal.
If you signed in that manner, the best thing
you can do is to go to the office of Homer Z.
Bone, fifth floor Provident building, and rectify
the mistake.
And if you are circulating petitions, get out
new one when the first is filled
If you aren't circulating one, why not?

Hyde Plays Golf In
Mighty Queer Places

One of Charles H. Hyde's favor
lite golf courses is ON top of the
highest city in the world.
Another is on top of the Gatun
dam down there on the Panama
canal.
What's yours?
Mr.. Hyde, back from a four
months trip in South America
last night told the Mems Sunday
Night club of the First Presby-
terrain church how he played four
holes in the rarified atmosphere
of La Paz, Bolivia, 10000 feet
above sea level.
Like U. s. Better Now.
He didn't say what happened
to the rest of the holes. Probably
he blew Up.
Hyde ID president of the West
Coast Grocery Co. He's also strong
for golf and South America.
The people of South America
like United States business men
a lot better than they used to, he
told the members of the club after
they had finished a banquet.
But the thing that United States
business men want to be careful
of is 10 pack the goods they send
to South America In way that
will stand wear and tear. Espe-
cially II II is in bottles.

men, he said, like to play baseball
with the cargoes. They enjoy

the service reported by Edgar c.
Wheeler of The Times last Sun

one in 10 years, or even 10
weeks; for most emphatically ]

"The threat of an awful judg-
ment for using unusual topics

by a member of my congregation,
