Rufus Woods May Be Candidate for
Congress

IUhSlCSo
The Wenatchee World OF Tuesday
states that Mr.. Woods has not fully de-
termined if he will become candidate
for nomination to congress in the pri-
mary election on the republican ticket.
1t further states that thirteen newspa-
pers in the fifth district have indicated
their support Of Mr.. Woods candidacy.
Our friend Rufus has daily newspaper
on his bands, and for town the size
of Wenatchee we know OF no town that
has anything on the World. Loyal
support by the people Of Wenatchee
has been a valuable asset in the making
of newspaper OF the World, but with
out sufficient push and we'll directed
energy coupled with local support the
World could not have made the sue
cess it unquestionably has made in the
newspaper arena. Being the general
manager and directing genius Of the
World he Is entitled to the palm Of
victory. or whatever honors attach to
making newspaper success desid-
eratum realized about one time in fifty
BY those who are reckless enough to
engage in the occupation. Whether
dividing his time and attention between
his newspaper and the quest of con-
gressional honors might result in disas-
ter he must himself decide. Should he
determine to cast his chapeau in the
political circus ring he may count on
such help in garnering votes as The
Echo can give.
This is not an Inappropriate time or
place to tell THE Tale Of Two Tails"
since Rufus is considering anexing an
other to his kite.
Once upon time (That's the way
all dog tales begin) there was a man
who owned a dog that developed two
tails where most dogs have but one.
His owner thought it would be both
interesting and unusual to have his
home coming welcomed by the wag
of two tails in place Of one. 1t would
add to the heartiness to see two
tails wag where only one usually
wags, and he reared him with solic-
itous care. AS the dog and the
tails grew to full doghood he developed
peculiar and disappointing symptoms.
The two tails never would wag in har-
mony, as if only half OF him was pleased.
Sometimes one tail would wag his
pleasure and contentment while the
other stood straight out and refused to
move. Then again the other tail would
wiggle freely and cheerfully over some
incident in his dog life, but his two
tails refused to wag in synchronous
harmony, as a musician would say.
Sympathy and sentiment between the
two tails was out OF joint. Sym
pathetic unison was lacking. AS
much so as if the two tails belonged
to two dogs and two masters instead Of
being attached to one and the same
dog and one owner. His master mar
veled much at this canine anomaly.
On rare occasions the two tails would
move, but never like two tails with but
a single thought. Always out OF tune.
Never in unison One would wag
furiously. so to speak, while the other
would have a weak and lifeless wiggle.
Only one thing would produce anything
like a harmonious wagging in both tails
at one and the same time. That was
the sight and smell OF pork. This
would start both tails off on continu-
Gus, lively and to all appearances a
harmonious wiggle. Harmony may
not be the best word in the English
language in connection with a dogs
tail. There is no sound in the wiggle
Of a dogs tail, but there is a lot Of
meaning. The pleased dog all but
talks with his tail. The owner Of the
tailed dog declared he could hear
a sound when the two tails wagged
harmouiously at the prospect Of square
meal of nork. On these occasions there
