Reno County Shouse Club

Hutchinson, Oct. 25.-The lat
est adjunct in Reno county to
the forces behind the reelection
of Jouett Shouse to congress, is
the organization of Shouse-for-
Congress club in Hutchinson.
The advisability of locating this
club here is apparent from the
fact that Reno county polls ap-
proXimately one-sixth of the
votes of the district.
Another thing operating in
favor Of an organization of this
character is the fact that this
county normally is Republican
and it is recognized by the work.
ers that extra effort is necessary
in order to carry it for the Dem
ocratic nominee.
Charles w. Oswald, one of the
local party leaders, was chosen
president and l. E. French, sec
retary-treasurer. Mr.. French
also is secretary of the Demo
cratic congressional district
committee. The selection of
these men was unanimous and
they are regarded as strong as
could be chosen, for their re-
spective places.
While the Shouse-for- Congress
club is a new organization, the
membership is growing by the
hundreds and before the end of
next week, it is expected that a
majority of all the voters OF
Reno county will have affixed
their signatures to the member
ship rolls.
1t also will be the object of the
Shouse club to work for the ma
tional, state and county tickets
wherever there is opportunity tt
do good.
"There no longer is any doubt
about the reelection of Mr.
J Shouse," said President OSWALD
of the club, "but rather for thC
majority that viii be polled FOL
him. We have got the opposi
tion on The run and will keep i
going"
Regarding the PERSONAL o
the club members, Secretary
Treasurer French said:
'"The encouraging feature o
our efforts so far, is the fact tina
scores Of good, substantial Re
publicans have become mem
bers. We are going to carry
Reno county for Shouse, in spit'
Of everything"
That the Shouse-for- Congress
club is destined to do effective
work, is evidenced by the fac
that men and women of all par
ties are seeking admission ant
asking for opportunities to dc
something in the interests of the
present congressman.

Notice
To The voters of the
Second District:

matters as your Commissioner
make it impossible for me 10 sec
many of you sonally, employ
this means of saying few words
regarding my candidacy for
County Commissioner from the
Second District.
l have endeavored to serve
you we'll and impartially during
my first term, and upon my rec.
ord an asking for second.
1t is but fair to you, as taXpay-
ers, and to me, as member of
the county board, that give you
a brief review of what has been
done in the past two years.
Good roads appeal to you all
alike, and since that question
has occupied the greatest part
of the Boards attention for the
past two years, little iuforma'
ton as to what has been done
will not be out of order.
The new board was hardly
organized when petitions for bet
ter roads and more bridges
poured in. We we're handicap
ped in two ways. First, we had
a limited mount of money
to expend, and, second, the coun
ty had no suita BILE machinery
with which to build roads. Our
duty was therefore a hard on;
we had machinery to buy, and
the remainder of our road mon
ey had to be spent in such a way
as to be Of the greatest good to
the greatest number.
In designating roads it was
our aim to give 70 each district
as nearly an equal mileage as
conditions would permit. In the
three districts, we have planned
$50 miles, which includes di
rect route, north and sou b tc
the county line, through Plains
Fowler, and Meade, and also ar
east and west road through the
county. In the third district the
81 miles of Rad designated are
completed, and the machinery
has been moved to the second
district, and the work on the
road from Meade to Englewood
is about finished. According
to present plans the next to be
graded will be the road south
from Meade to the county line,
then the road north to the line,
and next the road east; so that
when the work in my district is
completed it will equal that of
either Of the other districts, not
withs tanding that those oppos-
my my re election would have
YOU believe that | have done moth
ing for you in the way of better
roads. In addition to an equal
amount of roads, there has been
expended in my district nine
thousand dollars for bridges.
This, l think, will make 1t clear
that the second district has had
an equal share of the road mon
ey.
In the first district bridges to
the amount.of six thousand dol
lars have been built. and roads
equal to those of the other dist
riots designated.
In all other county affairs, as
a mem ber of the board, l have
always had the best interests of
the tax payers at heart, and have
served you to the beet of my
ability, and if reelected my poll
icy will be unchanged. "Exper-
ience is a wise teacher, and hav-
ing thoroughly famillarized my.
self with the work, l feel that l
can be of greater service to you
throughout a second term than
it was possible to give In my first.

After the River Salmon.

There is just one way to fish for
river salmon when il is possible; that
is, wading With waist waders on you
advance into the water at the head of
the pool and cast your fly over the
deep water below. Your guide will
probably sit on the bank and watch
you, ready TO come to your aid with
the gam at the proper time-provided
you will take such measures that the
proper time arrives.
For all his presence, you will do
well not to get in over the tops of
your waders, particularly in heavy"
water. If IL be so heavy that you can
not negotiate it properly by wading,
you will, of course, have recourse to

AS long as Candidate Hughes had
his mouth sealed by reason OF his po-
sition on the supreme court ne was
regarded as man of brains and parts.
But like Peters when he attempted
TO deny the Savior, the moment he
opened his mouth his speech betray-
ed him and showed him a small bore
politician, nothing more, nothing less.
If he has convictions he has not the
courage of them and when he
assays his teasing criticisms OF the
man whose shoes he is unworthy to
unloose, he further emphasizes his
real nature. Vote for the man who is
not afraid of the whole world
and will stand up against it when sat-
isfied that he is right.

SMOKERS IN DICKENS WORKS
Great Novelist Had Many Of His Char
acters Use Tobacco in One
Form or Another.

The cigarettes" mentioned by Dick
ems in 1857 were "brown paper cigars"
an informant writes to the London
Chronicle, and were evidently rolled by
hand in the fashion not unknown to-
day, though rapidly being superseded
by the machine-maGe article.
In the first chapter of Little Dor
rit," written in 1857, the villain Riguad
in his Jail at Marseilles has tobacco
brought to him with his rations and he
rolls it into cigarettes by the aid of
little squares of paper which had been
brought in with it," The scene, by the
way, is dated by Dickens thirty years
ago" Whether the paper was white or
brown does not appear, but it seems
clear enough that the smokes in cues
ton. thus rolled in a prison cell, had
more likeness to the modern cigarette
than to cigar, although the novelist
sometimes calls them little paper
cigars.
Little Dorrit" think, adds the cor
respondent, is the first of the novels in
which the word cigarette" appears,
although pipes and cigars are frequent
ly mentioned, usually in the mouths of
the morally less admirable characters.
Montague Tigg and Chevy Slyme both
move in an atmosphere in which tobac-
co is added to frowsiness. Rogue
Riderhood's rascality is heightened by
MS use of a pipe, and the depth of
Quilps inhumanity is emphasized by
his abilities in the way of what is now
called "chain smoking" with cigars,
while he swallows boiling rum from a
pannikin kept on the fire. Eugene
Wrayburn's languid idleness is solaced
by cigars, but correct characters, such
as John Harmon, never touch what
Tony Weller calls 'the fragrant weed"

COVER MORE ACRES.

The tractor, the great, powerful
gasoline horse that can do the work
Of five or ten struggling equines, is
increasing the acreage which can be
farmed by one man. approximately
70 per cent of tractor owners in Hi
nois state that the tractor has proved
q profitable investment to them. Of
this number about one-third, after
the purchase Of the outfit, increased
the acreage which they were farm
ing, the increase averaging about
100 acres per farm. On the other
hand, of the men who found the
tractor improbable, only one-twen-
tieth increased their acreage after

TASTE OF AHoME COOKING"
Woman who Lives in Apartment Can
Have " " She VIII DO . Lit
tie Planning.

Many a woman living in two-room'
and.bath apartment and taking her
meals in an adjoining public dining
room yearns at times for something
homemade" and delicious; chocolate
layer cake, for instance; or scalloped
oysters, OF old-fashioned molasses
cake. or soda biscuit. tender and pip
ing hot, and made rich with a little
shortening. One woman condemned
as she expresses ito 1--we in lux
urious hotel apartment most Of the
year. satisfies her hossewifely in
stincts by getting Sunday-night tea in
her own apartment by aid OF o chafing
dish, q coffee percoiator and a one
burner sas stove with q little oven
about as big as d baby's hatbox.
II is surprising how many delectable
things can be baked in this absurd lit
lie oven. - Out of II come small layer
cakes, pans OF light biscuit, toothsome
little drop cakes, small pans OF piping
hot Sally Lunn and rich gingerbread
for the Sunday night supper. The Ut
tie oven bakes only small quantity
enough biscuit for four persons, twice
around, and layer cake which makes
six good-sized slices; but the Sunday
night opportunities to have a taste of
real home cooking are much appreci-
ated by privileged guests who also
dwell in boarding places.
No woman with fastidious taste
and thought for her neighbors-would
venture to cook steak or fry potatoes
in an apartment house, where odors of
cooking are not supposed to permeate;
but creamed entrees, salads, baking of
the sort referred to and various appe-
tizing scalloped entrees may be pre-
pared by aid of chatting dish and lit
tie oven of the sort. The small ovens
may be used on electric grills also,
and rare is the woman who does not
enjoy an occasional cooking fest to
keep her hand in at housekeeping

The progress Of English rs the
Second language" in Japan proceeds
with gathering force. Recently the
third conference of teachers of Eng
lish in all the leading middle schools
throughout the country to the num-
Der of several hundred was held dur
ing an entire week at Osaka, the pro-
ceedings being opened by Baron
Kanda with an address, followed BY
Baron Kikuchi, who suggested the
improvement of the reading matter
in school text books.
The annual exercises of the Eng
disappearing society Of Waseda uni
yersity we're given in the auditorium,

large number of students there were
many prominent educationists pres
snt and 9 number Of foreign resi-
dents. The meeting was opened by.
Prof. T. Takasugi as usual, with q
forceful address, in which he eulo-
gized the wonderful work accom-
plished by the founder of Waseda,
Count Okuma, as an educator and a
statesman.
The short plays and speeches, all
rendered in English by prominent
young students, we're upon the whole
well done, rejecting credit upon the
foreign teachers, who have been
training them almost day and night

entitled "Man About the Town"

CARE IN TABLE DECORATION
People as a Rule Don't Like to Play
Peek-a-Roo at Dinner, Says
Miss Holman.

A few flowers are in good taste and
add charm to the dining table but the
whole greenhouse or garden should
not be used. They shouldn't fairly
scream out for attention, asserts Miss
Araminta Holman, instructor in home
art.
Decorations should always add
beauty to the article which they deco
rate" says Miss Holman. THE flow
ers that are dainty, delicate and spar
ingly used are attractive on the table
in the dining room. A small fern is
appropriate. The flowers are of less
importance than the food, the dishes
and the silver. One or two flowers are
usually enough, properly arranged.
Their tops should not be higher
than the tallest dish on the table.
Persons seated for the dinner should
not have to play peek-a-boo around o
tall vase of flowers"

DEAD MANS HILL.
n an ant hill.

How did the little mountain or
great hill in the Verdun battle
ground come to have its strange, I'M
oanny name of "le Mort Homme" or
the Dead Man ?" Discussing this
question, lie Cri de Paris says that
the forest people are by no means
exact in their pronunciation of
words, and that it is quite likely that
Mort Homme was intended for "le
Mort Orme," ''the Dead Elm" and
that the hill of 295 meters has at one
time been distinguished by remark
able elm. There are several hills
on the Meuse and in Champagne
called "le Mort Homme," "the Dead
Man," and on these are vestiges of
ancient Gallo cemeteries, so that the
of the Dead Mans hill
may be the proper one after all.

Furnishing Small Rooms.

In furnishing a small room two nee
essary points must be considered:
First, that space is gained by making
things as fiat as possible against the
wall; and, second, that stiffness is
prevented then by introducing plant
or two, if the room is a living room
or a dining room, and breaking the
lines of the furniture by pulling out
a table little or turning a chair.
A low seat 16 inches in height, run.
ming around a corner and along one
side of the room to some break of door
or window, saves space and furniture,
and adds a charming effect. 1t should
be upholstered, and have only an oc-
casional rather small and carefully
selected pillow. Low book shelves,
too, built against the wall, furnish
without furniture, but care must be
taken that they are not extended in
too continuous a straight line. A car
pet or rug of solid color also in
creases the effect of space.

SMALL MARVEL Of 1AE. sea-
Worms Work Seems Almost TO Prove
II Is Equipped With Something
Like intelligence.

The question OF where intelligence
begins TO manifest itself In the scale
Of animal life has often been asked.
II seems to exist even in the lowest
forms. A peculiar specimen of the in
verterbrates Of the ocean, an exceed
lngly small worm--so small that II
measures less than four millImeters In
length-exhibits movements that can
not be explained by anything but in
telllgcnt will.
This midget seaworm Is construct
or; he builds rampant in the shape
Of a tube, composed Of grains OF sand.
His form shows a hanging double lip
jutting like a feshy precipice over q
great mouth, four black eyes set in the
front Of his head and two tentacles
which work necessarily, wringing and
flashing whatever they can reach. 1t is
with the same apparently nervous ten
tacles that the little monster of the
deep seizes his material, the glisten-
ing sand, Of which he constructs his
rampant,
He catches a grain Of sand in his
tentacles and Immediately carries II TO
his mouth. In his mouth nature Sc
cretes n strong cement. One grain
after another is covered with cement
and rapidly accumulated in the form
Of a tube. Naturally enough, when
the builder works so fast, there must
be breaches in the walls. These
breaches are carefully scrutinized by
the worm, filed with grains Of sand
and covered with cement. When fin
ished, the tube is a very practical and
creditable piece Of work.
Nothing could be more interesting
than the little workman's management
of his tentacles. Again and again he
tests the solidity of his work by tap
ping the walls in every direction. To
observe the work of this peculiar sea-
pigmy is to be convinced that the tube
like rampant is not built by accident.
In such work there must be- the par
ticipation of some sort of mentality.

Habit Of Being Happy.

Keeping oneself reasonably happy Ia
q duty that ought not to be shirked.
Science is telling us these days that to
get out of the habit of enjoyment is to
get depressed hi vitality and vigor, to
weaken in efficiency, and grow old be-
fore ones time. There is nothing like
laughter-not empty-headed laughter,
but the intelligent, wholesome, kindly
hearted kind-to keep people young
and fresh and fit for business and the
obligation of living. OF course, this is
prescription not easy to live up to
always, but there is no reasonable ex-
cuse for not trying to do it. Sometimes
it is just about as easy to be happy
as to be miserable if one makes up his
mind to ii, and there is no doubt at
all as to which pays the best.-Op-
