NEARLY 200 VISITS TO DELAWARE
COUNTY.

DR.. Wilbert Shallenberger, the Chi
cago Specialist, has visited Delaware
County for the last fifteen years, MAX
ing total Of nearly 200 visits. Not
another such a record west Of the
Mississippi river. This proves beyond
doubt that he has made good and help
ed back to health those who have gone
to him with the worst forms of
chronic diseases of all kinds, who have
failed to get relief from other doc
tors. His rare experience and OPP
portunity with so many cases of all
kinds in 16 years practice have
taught him many things he must
know to get good results. If you are
in need of physician, consult him
at Hotel Clarence, Manchester, Fri
day, December 1st ADV.

Arrived, Anyway.

We were all out to summer cot
tage for a days outing. The house
stood on hill with the front porch
high up from the ground. We would
all step off at one corner, and even
there found it quite high. Little SON
ME followed us, stepping off at the
same corner, but fell. and rolled over
on the ground. He got up immedi-
ately, without crying although MS
face was covered with dirt, and said:
That's a funny steps, but me got down
anyway.''-Chicago Tribune.

How Nature Protects Orchids.

Orchids are the most skilled of all
plants in the art of stimulation. They
choose for imitation some insect, bird
or animal free from danger. Some or
chids initiate poisonous spiders. The
fly orchid and the bee orchid are ex-.
amples which initiate so skillfully that
trained scientists are often at fault
in detecting the deception. These or
chids resemble clusters Of bees or flies
resting on dry twig.

Removing Old Paint.

Old paint may be quickly and easily
removed from any surface by scrub
bling with the following mixture: Dis
solve q quart of baking soda in a gal
Ion of water and add a quart of quick
lime. Apply to the surface with a
brush and in a few minutes all traces
of the old paint may be washed off in
warm water. The wood should then be
washed with vinegar before new paint
Is applied to remove all the alkali.

Why a Ship Floats,

No ship should stay on top of the
water unless that part Of it beneath
the surface displaced as much water
as the ship weighed. If the volume Of
water so displaced was lighter than
the ship, the latter would sink. It Is
principle Of nature that lighter things
pass above those of greater weight.

Queer Ereak Of Peanuts.

It has been noticed that the common
peanut grows in peculiar way that Is
distinctly original. The little plant
sends up Its shoots, with the fruit on
the end Of a somewhat stiff stalk, and
then before it ripens the stem bends
over and carefully pushes the fruit un-

K. H. S. Team Defeated

The Kendrick High School basket
ball went to Lewiston Saturday to
play the Lewiston State Normal.
The game was played on the normal
gymnasium floor and our boys were
defeated by a score of 40 to 16.
Coach McConaughy didn't expect to
win as the high school team has not
begun practice. He believed it
would be good incentive for the
boys, whether they won or lost, to
get them out to practice.
The high school has some good
material this year and with con-
sistent practice a fast team can be
turned out. The next game played
will result in a more favorable
score.
The lineup of the two teams was
as follows:
Kendrick-Davis, center; Flor
ance and Meyers. forwards; Guy
and McKeever, guards.
Normal-Crum, center; Jordan
and Sartain, forwards; Crouk anc

Governorship Still Unsettled

Boise, Nov. 15.-The legislature
elect of this state may finally be
called upon to settle the election
controversy rapidly reaching a eli
max over the governorship. Both
sides are making claims. w. c.
Gregory, secretary of the republi-
can state central committee, issued
statement declaring Governor
Alexander's plurality had been cut
down to 159 and that when the re-
count is completed in Franklin,
Bear Lake, Oneida and Cassia coun-
ties it will disappear altogether and
in its place will grow plurality
for D. w. Davis, the republican
gubernatorial candidate. C. O.
Broxon. secretary to Governor
Alexander, makes a counter claim
that Governor Alexander's plurality
has only been cut to 513. The re-
count in Bonneville county precincts
cut Governor Alexander's plurality
from Is to 3 so that he lost 72 votes.
Both sides are watching the re-
count carefully. Party leaders ad-
nit that contests in the courts may
finally be sent to the legislature
which has alone authority to re-
count the entire vote cast in the
state. Both branches of the legis-
lature are democratic. A ruling
will probably be secured from the
courts to determine how scratched
ballots should be counted. Attorney
General Peterson has issued instruc-
tions to all county attorneys to make
an investigation of the swearing in
of votes on election day. He says
his office is in receipt of reports to
the effect there was widespread a.
buse of this privilege together with
fraudulent registration and viola
tion of the election laws.
''We are not claiming fraud of
any kind" said Secretary Gregory,
1--WE are standing on the broad
ground that Mr.. Davis was counted
out and that on a fair count he will
be counted in by 1000 plurality"
"There is no material change in
the gubernatorial situation" said
Secretary BroXon. Governor
Alexander is elected by plurality
of something over 500. Pluralities
by counties give the governor 4,782
and Davis 4,269."
Discovery of 35 irregularly sworn
in votes was the first fruit of the
investigation ordered by Attorney
General Peterson into suspected
frauds.
The prosecuting attorney o1
, Washington county declared these
35 votes to have been irregularly
, sworn in on election dav and added
that 35 additional votes probably
, had been irregular. These 70 vote
were among the 769 sworn in vote
on which the commissioners passed
= on their first day of canvassing il
that county.
oI The attorney general expects tha
, it may be several days before tn
prosecuting attorneys of the severa
counties will begin generally t.
send in reports of their investiga
!. tions.

The most serious defect is that
we have some people that pretend
to be something that they really
are not. This applies to spiritual,
business and social affairs. But on
the whole Kendrick is all right.
A little better all round than the
average small town, and the man
that refuses to recognize the many
good things about Kendrick ought
to have the scaley allegations of
remorse gallop up and down with
in the internal principles of his
animal viscera until the spinal
column of his anatomical constitu-
ton becomes the railroad for the
grim and CORY goblins of despair.
