Mans Limitations.

Man has done wonders since he came
before the. public. He has navigated
the ocean, he has penetrated the mys-
teries Of the starry heavens, he has
harnessed the lightning and made it
light the great cities of the world.
But he can't find u spool of thread
in his wifes wOrkbasket; he can't dis
cover her pocket in a dress hanging in
the closet; he cannot hang out clothes
and get them on the line the right end
up. He cannot hold clOthespegs in his
mouth while he is doing it either. He
cannot be polite to somebody he hates.
In short, he cannot do a hundred
things that women do almost instinc-
lively.

Wilbur p. Graft
A Candidate

We take pleasure in making
the announcement that Wilbur
p. Graft has decided definitely
to enter the political arena as
an aspirant for the office of
State Senator. We do not know
anyone who would make a bet
ter representative for this Sena-
torial District. Mr.. Graft is
one of the best business men in
this section of the State, having
native ability and long years eX-
perience in the most active
business life. He has been con-
nected with the First National
Bank of this place ever since his
graduation from Lafayette Col
lege twenty-five years ago. He
has been cashier of the institu-
tion for upwards of thirteen
years and previous to that AS
sistant Cashier. He is largely
interested in farming and
knows the needs OF the farmer
and is ever interested in all that
concerns the welfare of the
Community, the County, the
State and Nation.
Mr.. Graft will support all leg
islation that tends to the moral
and material interests of the
district.
He is one of our best citizens
and stands right on all moral
questions. = Blairsville Enter

Nathan L. Strong

5ln the legislative halls. Too
much attention has been Civ
en- to such thoughts at the
following, viz, that a Con-
gressman should have at
least two terms, that if one
county elects the Congress-
man this term, another of the
counties in the District should
elect the Congressman for the
next term, etc. True it is that
there are many Congressman
who should be elected term
after term, because of their
recognized usefulness, their
extraordinary ability, their
forensic powers, or other rea--
sons. But, because there
have been such men as these,
that is no reason why, simply
because a Congressman has
had one term, he should be
returned to the position.
Other men are capable, other
men have ability, other men,
through their breadth of
knowledge in affairs in gen
eral, may be better than the
ones now occupying these po-
sitions. Surely, such a
thought should not deter any
one from voting for the can
didate, whether he be a form
er Congressman, the present
Congressman, or an aspirant
for the honor in the new, who
best embodies those charac-
teristics, those ideals which
should be controlling in the
selection Of the proper man
for the place. Mr.. StrOng's
well known powers in debate
or in argument, his ability to
speak not only f1uently but
with power and to the point
on subjects of general import,
his business training, his leg
al acumen and knowledge, all
of these faculties combine to
make him in a particular and
peculiar way wonderfully
we'll fitted to properly repre-
sent the 9th District and to
be an extremely useful mem
Der of Congress. In Arm
strong County where, for the
past fifteen years, Mr.. Strong
has been engaged in the de-
velopment Of one Of the great
as an exprt, and a man who
natural resources of the coun-
ty, his candidacy has met
with such popularity, because
of the fact that he has had
so much to do with the bring
ing of wealth and prosperity
to the people and with the
rapid advances made by the
county in recent years, that
long before nomination day it
will be very unpopular for
any citizen to be either open
ly or secretly against his NOM
ination. - Political Adv.

ment Of any candidate for po-
litical hOnOrs met with the ur-
animous approval and hearty
endorsement that have been
accorded n. L. Strong, Esq,
since it first became known
that he would be a candidate
for Congress in the 9th Con-
gressional District, composed
of Armstrong, Clarion, Jeffer-
son and Indiana Counties.
Wherever Mr.. Strong is ac-
quainted, he is we'll and fav-
orably known. His friends
have for a long time urged
him to become a candidate
for Congress, because Of the
fact that they recognized his
ability and knew that he
would be a useful representa-
tive, not alone to the District
which elected him, but, on ac-
count of his broad knowledge
of affairs, to the country in
general. There is, through
out the country today, a feel
ing that the best men should
respond to the call of duty,
that men who can think and
do should not be permitted
to hide their talents, but
should be at Washington in
the Legislative Halls aiding
and assisting in the success

Strong's opponents for the
honor sought by them, nor
to cast the slightest imputa-
ton upon them, but those
who know Mr.. Strong best
are of the firm belief that the
people of this District are to
be congratulated on the op-
portunity they have this
spring of naming as their
candidate for Congress a man
who has risen, by sheer force
Of character, straight from

keen and accurate judgment,
a gentleman who has for
years made a careful and crit

sources of the entire District
which he desires to represent,
and whose knowledge Of such
matters is so well known that
he has been and is recognized
as an expert, and a man who
has the universal respect Of

One of the Kenosha boys who went
to the front with the Jeffrey quads has
written the following letter back to
his home. As it gives a picture of
some of the intimate and picturesque
details of life in the army it will be
of interest to local readers. Naturally
the personal parts of the communica-

is withheld by his mother, but the
editor assures its authenticity.

it doesn t get cold in Mexico cause it

this is some job.
I wrote you from Casas Grande. Did
you get it? I wrote it from Camp

I have two suits OF clothes. One is
a khaki uniform and the other is an

All the Jeffrey boys are going home
in full uniform and will have a big
banquet in the Hotel haywood, given
by Martin Winters, the man that in

This town here has certainly been
booming ever since Pancho Villa s raid.
We are all learning to talk Spanish and
Mexican.
When we took an hours sentry duty
out at Casas Grande we were told to
halt or challenge all Mexicans coming
over the line.
We had to say "sperra Halta HON.

the boys see a pretty girl, instead of
saying "She's some chicken" they
say, GA mucho bonita senorita.''
The name Villa is pronounced Veea.

church made its first public appearance
at the evening service in the church
Sunday night before an appreciative
audience. The program included "God

careful training. Besides the quar-
tette parts, there were male and female
choruses. Mrs. Peter Fisher, Jr., was
the organist at the organ and very ably
and pleasingly handled the instrument
The Choral club has been under the

Former Mayor William M. Farr of
Kenosha Aids Cause of Munich
pal Water Plant There.

Albuquerque, New Mexico, is to
have a new municipal water plant and
it is to be patterned after the Kenosha
plant. At the election held on last
Tuesday to decide on the issuance of
bonds for the building of the plant
the bond issue won by a vote of bet
ter than three to one. Among the lead
ers of the fight for the municipal plant
was DR.. William M Farr, former
mayor of this city, and the mayor of
Kenosha at the time the Kenosha
municipal plant was built. DR.. Farr
leaped into the fight at Albuquerque
and used as his ammunition the story
of the success of the plant in Kenosha.
The papers from the New Mexico city
declare that the success of the Keno
sha plant had much to do with bring
ing favorable consideration for the
bond issue there.

MAY EXTEND PARK ST. PIPE
Engineer Figures That Cost of Exten-
sion of Outlet to End of Simmons Pier
Would C1st in Neighborhood of
10,0O0-Part of Ultimate Plan.

The big duty of the members of the
new sewer committee of the common
council is going to be the arrangement
of some plan to prevent the water
along the shore of the lake being
polluted by sewage. Members of the
council are now discussing plans for
the extension of the outlet of the
sewer on Park street and these men
have been advised by the city en-
gineer that the cost of the extension
from the proposed outlet to the end
of the Simmons pier will be in the
~neighborhood of ten thousand dollars.
This cost would have to be met by
the city and the money would be TAX
en- from the general fund as bond is
sues made to provide for the compile
tion of the sewer are not sufficient to
provide for extension of the outlet
eff the Simmons company are agree
able to the pipe being laid to the south
Of the pier,'' said Engineer Brennan
this morning, "I believe that the out
let could be extended into the lake at
a cost not to exceed ten thousand dol
lars. It would be necessary to pro-
vide some protection for the outlet on
the south side and this would involve
the driving Of another row of piles.
Such plan would meet the wishes of
the protesting properly owners and at
the same time it would be start
toward an ultimate plan for the
proper reduction Of sewage in Kenosha.
We have discussed this plan on sew
eral occasions and the plan would pro-
vide for the building Of a reduction
plant at the extreme south limits of
the city and the sewage from all sew
ers entering into the lake, including
the big trunk sewer near the south
limits would be picked up by sewer
running along the lake and carried to
the reduction plant. The cost of such
a plant has never been considered
by this department, but of course
it would be considerable. This ulti-
mate plan is one that must be met by
the city sooner or later if the city is
to prevent the pouring Of the sew
age into the lake"
Some Of the members of the new
council have already declared them
selves in favor of starting to work out
the plan with the Park street outlet.
The matter will probably be one of the
first matters to be taken up by the
new council. There will be plenty of
time for the new council to consider
the matter as the sewer now under con-
struction will not be completed until
some time in the early summer.

an alibi. Efforts have been made to
find out who it was that made the
complaint to the governor against the
failure of local officials to enforce the
law at Bassett. Every man connected
with the milk industry there declares
that he was not connected with the re-
ports to the governor. One of them
has sent letter to the governor ask

men all insist that there was no time
in the milk war that there was seri-
GUS trouble at the station and that the
local officials furnished all the protec-
ton necessary.
