A few days ago the editor heard
a prominent citizen express the hope
that all candidates for office and
their friends would so conduct their
campaigns that if they lost out at
the primary they could give the sue
eessful candidate of their respective
parties whole-heSrted support at the
general election. This was for all
parties, and it is certainly good senti-
ment.

The State of Idaho has been gov.
erned during the past ten days by
a corps of deputies and clerks, all Of
the duly elected heads of the various
departments have been away from
the state house looking after their
political interests Some of them
may have dropped back in 10 see
how things were going, bpr speaking
In a general way the state govern.
ment has been in the hands Of sub.
ordinates. Few people, if any, have
noticed anythtag out of the ordinary
in connection with the state govern.
ment, and it has even been limited
that everything would move along as
usual If the chiefs Stayed away all
the time. And this, gives rise to the
question: Why all the fuss and Juror
about selecting men to fill the state
offices?

On the fourteenth of June the
various National Guard organizations
OF the United States We're called for
service on the Mexican border. It
was twenty-five days before the first
of these organizations were in camp,
and the total number at this time is
less than 100000 men. 1t is stated
by military authorities that the Japa-
nese government could have mobil.
lied an army of 300, 1000 trained
men, moved them across the Pacific
ocean and had them in camp on the
Mexican border in twenty-five DAYS
And still there are a lot Of people
who are opposed to the preparedness

Furniture Men
Buy Goods to
Satisfy All

"Few persons realize the time and
attention that goes into piece OF
furniture" remarked furniture deal
er as he waved his hand over scores
Of pieces that filled his show room.
Before any Of these pieces were
made, artists had to design the models.
Hours were devoted to a discussion
of the lines that you see. When these
details were completed. plans had to
be drawn. Then the work of getting
out sample began. After the sample
was completed, the heads Of the con-
Germ. acting rs jury. looked it over
from all angles. Only when they were
convinced that the piece was worth
while was the order given for the
output"
There are furniture factories that
turn out nothing but beds. They have
specialized on this phase Of the bust.
ness and devote their whole time to
it. Other concerns are specialists on
the manufacture of porch furniture,
while others make nothing but chairs.
That's the reason furniture nowadays
is so beautiful, and produced at such
low prices.
Many people buy lifetime" furni-
ture these days. That is. they do not
buy haphazard here and there, but
they go to the dealers and tell them
frankly, for instance, that they want
to buy a dining room outfit that will
last as long as they live. Dealers
know that these people want quality
incorporated in the furniture they buy,
and consequently all the furniture
houses keep on hand good supply of
pieces for such customers.
Others again believe that they
would rather buy medium grade pieces
and supplant them every so often, so
that their homes will always be fur
nished with the furniture that is in
vogue. All the local stores lay in
large stocks for this class. They will
find scores Of pieces to select from.

TURNING POINT IN
 UNITED STATES SHIPPING

Washington, Sept. 21.-The turning point in the fortunes of American shipping on the Pacific was marked by the recent purchase of three large ships by the Pacific Mail Steamship Company, and there is no further danger of the American flag disap- bearing on the Pacific, a department of commerce report said today. It also pointed out that the European war has cut down the total shipping of all nations engaged in trans-Pa- cific trade from 3SO,O00 gross tons to 2SO,000.
 The Pacific Mail Company's ships. the report says, add 17,100-gross tons to the 5000 tons that remained of American shipping on the Pacific.
 The total American tonnage in this trade was S0,000 gross tons, or 21 per cent of the total, as against British shipping's 80 per cent, and Japanese S3 per cent. Up to the Pacific Mall purchases, American shipping had fal- len off to ? per cent, British to 30, while Japanese tonnage had jumped to 55 per cent of the total. and Dutch shipping, formerly practically nothing to 13 per cent.

FIGHT RATS
TO THE DEATH
Rats Now Suspected 40 the
Real Carriers of In.
fantile Paralysis.
Rats and Mice More destructive
Than War,

Whether or not the practical researches
which are now being conducted by the
authorities will positively prove that rats do
carry around In their fur a parasite that
spreads Coliomyelitis ,infantile paralysis
from house to house. as IL was reported
in the City papers a few days ago they
are suspected OF by Health Commissioner
Emerson. IL IL fully established that they
have carried disease epidemics from
country TO country. resulting In the death
Of countless thousands OF m beings.
Not only IL the loss Of life attributable
10 these dangerous pests appalling. but
the destruction OF property IL tremendous.
Every year. in the United states alone.
they destroy millions of dollars Of food
products OF all sorts.
Thousands OF factory and home fires
are annually caused by rats and mice.
resulting in loss OF life and property un-
told.
There II only one certain. safe. and
enectire way to get rid of rats and mice.
that is to fight them scientifically with
Danysz Virus.
No rat can live where Danysz Virus liz
used.
A special point that recommends
Danysz Virus 80 strongly to manufac-
turers, ship owners, store-keepers. mar
ketmen. householders. farmers and poul-
rymen IL the fact that. while panysZ
Virus is positive death TO rats n mice.
u II absolutely harmless TO human
beings, birds, pets and all other animals,
Kill the rats now when the cooler
weather Is driving them INTO houses and
outbuildings. before they breed again.
