WORK WANTED FOR STUDENTS

Everyone who has work during the
college year, or during the fall and
winter, steady jobs, or short jobs, will
confer a favor. if they will make their
wants known to President II. M.
Crooks of Alma college, who has num-
erous applications from students who
will want work during the college
year. Here is a good chance to ex-
press that spirit Of cooperation, as
well as aid some deserving person
who is seeking an education and
working hard to obtain one. The
sooner the information is given the
college, the better, as many will wan,
to start work at once.

WHY is A BOOTLEGGER?

The Idaho Republican, discussing
the bootlegger, an individual with
which the northwest has become more
or less familiar during the past few
years, although his star, under more
strict laws. and stronger public SEN
timent against his work, is on the
wane, says:
"He faces a heavy fine, prison
sentence, the scorn of society, and a
bad name to live down. To be a
saloon keeper in this county 20 years
ago was quite the thing. A saloon
keeper 10 years ago was not so popu.
lar. Now bootlegger is about as
popular as a pirate or dealer in
native African slaves was before the

nomination come to him after a fight
for it, it would be worthless. The
republican leaders unfriendly to Roos-
evelt recognize the fact that they
probably cannot elect their candidate
if they down the colonel after a bit
ter struggle. They are in accord in
the determination to defeat President
Wilson if that can be done by a unit
ed republican party. United on the
main point, it is understood all round
that where the wishes of either pre-
vail there shall be an uninstructed
delegation, bound only to go to Chi
cago and work out satisfactory solu-
tion of the republican problem. The
Oregonian says:
with New York and New England
free from it's ties to any candidate, a
nucleous of 100 unpledged delegates
would enter the convention. This
would be about one-fifth of the total
number. With several populous nor
thern states neutralizing each other
by pledging their delegates to favor
tie sons, these 100 delegates and the
many they may be able to draw to
them they would be able to dictate
the nomination. Should decided
majority of the instructed delegates
prove to be for Hughes or any other
candidate, the unpledged may settle
the question on the first ballot ny
throwing their votes to the candidate.
In any event, they will be agreed on
one thing-to run no risk of defeat at
the election by putting up one man in
order to down another; but to name
that man who can defeat Wilson by
uniting the anti Wilson forces. ii

civil war. At the present rate of
change in popular esteem, man with
an old record for bootlegging will be
held in about the same regard in a
couple Of years as a white SLAYER is
now and SO unjust is the public that
in five or ten years from now, the
children of such man may have to
hear the INSULT, Your father was a
bootlegger!' Yet with all these
handicaps men will try it. Only last
week a man was brought a second
time before our district judge, after
having been permitted to go free with
fine in November on the plea that
his family suffered, and it has since
been learned that he has no family.
But he may yet marry and live to see
son or daughter insulted with a
taunt about the fathers record. Why
does he bootleg anyway"

There will be no slip in the Repub-
lican party, locally or nationally,
this year. Ex-president Roosevelt
has made it plain that he wants Will
son and the democrats licked, and
will do all he can to bring about that
thing. This is the sentiment among
all factions of republican, and means
republican victory next November.
There will be no divided republican
party this year.

Those Who Are About 90 Occupy

WASHINGTON, april Those
contemplating moving INTO a new

min would do well, berore they actu-
ally occupy these HOUSES, to consider
fumigating with hydrocyanic-aeid
gas to eradicate bedbugs n other
pests. This gas, as well as the st
UNI cyanid from which it is made,
however, is one of the most poisonous
substances known ana the inhalation
of a few breaths of the gas will re-
suit in death unless the victim be
promptly rescued.
For this reason those contemplating
its use should first read carefully
Farmers Bulletin 500, H~ydrocyanic-
Acid Gas Against Household Insects.
recently issued by the department
This bulletin, by l. o. Howard and
c. H. Popence, describes in detail
the manner in which the gas is ma,
ufactured and used and the precau-
tons which must be taken to avoid
accident
Hydrocyanic-acid gas, however, Is
n of the most ~efficacious agents in
Kidding households or such pests as
bedbugs, fleas, c~ockroaches. ants,
clothes moths, etc. Rats and mice,
when exposed to its fumes, run out
of their holes into the open and die
there. There is thus no subsequent
annoyance from dead rodents in tn
walls and under flooring.
Even when only one room Of a
house is to be fumigated, the bulletin
says, the entire house must be vaca-
ted and SC closed and marked with
signs that everyone is kept out. The
windows in such a house must be
equipped with ropes so that they can
be opened from the outside when the
fumigation Is done. If the house
close to another, especially If it's win.
dows are below those in an adjoining
house, care must be taken to protect
neighbors. This is especially neces-
sary in the case of a house in a row,
particularly if the petitions separating
houses are not tighs, or If it's attic
or roof air space communicates with
those in the neighboring houses. For
these reasons. in the case of summer
cottages at beaches, 1t rs safest and
easiest to fumigate before the family
or neighbors have moved in, when
there is plenty of time to air the
house completely after it has been
treated.

A well known girl who lives on

while she was home alone, by some

was told to get her revolver and shoot
at the fellow but the lazy doubted her
ability TO pull the trigger. However
she adopted the suggestion. Boldly
aiming the weapon at the fellows
head, she shouted through the part
ly opened window, warning him TO
leave or she would fire. The fellow
remained in his tracks.
She blazed away, and the fact that
she sent the bullet through the aper-
ture in the window, leaving a marx
