HIS DAUGHTERS ESCORT

Clyde Scott, of Wapello, took a
young lady to a dance. The young
lady lived with her sister and father
in a camping wagon. Returning from
the dance the couple were startled by
being made the evident general mark
of somebody's six-shooter. Five
shots were fired ct them out of the
darkness, one piercing the dash
board and one smashing the shaft.

the gun was s.. E. Kingrey, the girls

MIGHT HAVE BEEN
ELECTED

The member from Bingham" who
paid such a fine compliment to the
darkey in the senatorial contest at
Boise of 1918, proved a very en-
barrassed "%pusson" in the campaign
of 1914. The public gave him a big
vote at the primaries and then threw
out the S. o. S. call, which, being
interpreted politically means, "See
Other side" The call was put out
thru The Idaho Republican and thru
the smiles of the jokesmiths who ap-
preciate a really good job. The voters
reflected on all the acts of the said
apostle and when the returns were
being recorded he didn't need a flock
of jitneys to carry his band. Fact
is he needed the jitneys to carry his
embarrassment.

him. When it came to the voting,
both of them were beaten, and the
distinguished one received the fewest
votes of anyone. The man who hob
nobbed with him received the fewest
votes Of anyone besides himself.
People are asking who filed his
nomination in the present campaign.

His Political Announcement

lTdu0m SLT06C.
His Political Announcement
There isn't so much Of the balder-
dash in political announcements now
days as there was 10 or 20 years ago.
Men used to say altogether that they
had been persuaded to run, but now
days they admit that they gladly re-
sponded to the invitations of friends.
One of our Bingham county near
lawyers is long on securing nomina-
lions, and he always swells up some
what when he gets that far. You
would think to hear him talk that
he was the author of "Eighty-seven
short cuts for forty-three executives,
and that everybody was trying to
borrow a copy.
Some of the jokers who have
figured out just why he wants to
be in the race this year have framed
I'D the announcement which he
should have made and published in
order to be perfectly square and
frank with the people. 1t would rea
this way:
"My purpose in running for a place
in the legislature is not eleemosynary
in it's nature. l do not offer myself
as aIsacrifice for public benefit. I
am running primarily because I be-
lieve that if j should be elected it
would help me. I believe that 1t
would give me some recognition and
some prestige that I cannot achieve
in my office nor in the court room.
True, the salary is not very large
but I have always been quick to &C"
cuse other men of being mixed up
in bribery when they held such posi-
lions, and since I know my own mind
I am not worrying about financial
matters. I am a person of very
meager ideas, and the region of my
stomach looks like an inverted Ques-
ton mark, and I believe | could live
on the salary of the office even If
I didn't see any other money at all,
besides, there is distinction in it
when I make my fool breaks. I like
men of high honor but those | run
with don't exhibit much of it, there
fore | think honorable men are
scarce. I am about as good as most
of them look to me-"
In framing the foregoing statement
the committee of jokers overlooked
putting it in his vernacular. If he
were expressing the same thoughts it
would read this way:
II approach this matter with a
good deal of hesitation, because I
know that when a man goes after
anything purely for selfish purposes
he is very apt to be found out and
headed off, like the Niger looking
to the chicken roost. The best he
can say is to claim that he was get
ting a fat pullet to make soup for
a friend who was sick, and naturally
the meat itself goes to the friend
of the sick man which is ne. Any
man in office can win distinction
whether he wins honors or not, so
I want to get elected in some way.
If they accuse me of as many things
as l have accused other men of when
I was peeved at them, there will be
plenty of distinction such as it is,
and there might be truth in the
charges. I think I am about as good
as some others, or at least while the
public are in some little doubt I will
display as much cheek as possible and
maybe I can get by"

SALTS IN HOT WATER
CLEARS P|MPLY SKIN
Says we must make kidneys clea-
the blood and pirnplcs
disappear.

Pimplcs, sores and boils usually re-
suit from toxins, poisons and impurities
which are generated in the bowels and
then absorbed into the blood through
the very ducts which should absorb only
nourishment to sustain the body.
1t is the function of the kidneys to
filter impurities from the blood and
cast them out in the form of urine, but
in many instances the bowels create
more toxins and impurities than the
kidneys can eliminate, then the blood
uses the skin pores as the next best
means of getting rid of these impurities
which often break out all over the skin
in the form of pimples.
The surest way to clear the skin of
these eruptions, says noted authority,
is to get from any pharmacy about
four ounces of Jad Salts and take a
tablespoonful in glass of hot water
each morning before breakfast for one
week. This will prevent the formation
of toxins in the bowels. 1t also stiniu-
lates the kidneys to normal activity,
thus coaxing them to filter the blood Of
impurities and clearing the skin Of
pinples.
Jad Salts Is Inexpensive, harmless and
is made from the acid of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with lithia. Here
you have a pleasant, effervescent drink
which usually makes pimplcs disappear ;
cleanses the blood and is excellent for
the kidneys 81 well.

THE CASE OF McINNIs-BEcHGARD
AGAINST NORTHEASTERN,
ATTRACTING ATTENTION.

A record, SO far as the volume of cor
respondence, contracts, documents,
and other papers submitted, is con-
oerned, is being made in the Forrest
County circuit court this week in the
case of A. X McInnis and P. Bech-
gard, owners of the late Southern
Cement Building Material Company,
against the New Orleans G. Northeast
ern Railroad Company, in which DAM
ages amounting to more than $4,000
are asked.
A small mountain of documents al
ready has been submitted to the court
and the end is not yet. 1t is thought
that it will require the remaining part
of the week, at least, to hear all the
testimony and the arguments in the
case.
John R. Tally is presiding in the
case, Judge Johnson having recused
himself. Mr.. Tally said today that he
never had seen so many different ex-
hibits in case before Forrest coun-

Bolivar county, Miss, owned by the
Mississippi Delta Company. into small
improved farms of 20 acres each, to
be sold upon easy terms to white farm
ers, have been worked out by the
British-American syndicate which
owns the property.
Preliminary surveys of the large
farming tract already have been made.
it is understood, with a view to estab-
fishing farming plots, roads, drainage
and other improvements to be made
by the syndicate
These 30-acre farms will front on
wide gravelled roads intersecting the
entire property at right angles. On
each side of the highways will be re.
served a strip of land one-half acre
wide, upon which will be set out Pc
can trees, clovers and grass. The hay
grown on the strip will be sold for the
upkeep Of the highway, but the flow
ers and trees will be cultivated by the
farmers themselves.
Cottages with bathrooms, modern
kitchens; and architectural features
that will make them attractive and
comfortable will be built on the farms
by the syndicate. Especial attention
will be given to sanitation, and the
houses will not be built until COM
plete drainage assures this feature
Artesian wells will be sunk at con.
venient points SO that pure water can
be piped to the farms.
These farms, it is understood, will
be sold to white farmers and native
citizens so far as possible, on small
cash payments, with long time fol
the balance, at low rate of interest
The purchaser will have the privilege
of paying in full at any time after five
years. With each place will be sold
a team of mares, a COW, SOW, barn
yard fowls and few necessary imple
ments. G Ol
A tract OF 500 acres of especially
selected land will be set apart as al
experimental farm in charge of skill
ed agriculturalists. Prof. ]. w. Fo,

Next in Importance is the injunc-
ton against drinking. Now is the
time to get on the water wagon and
to stay there. Whiskey and every
other form of alcoholic drink is a pneu-

fighting defenses of the human body
against all forms of disease, tut espe-
cially against pneumonia. This has
been proven by careful scientific tests.
1t is a universally recognized clinical
fact This is one of the points on
which the laboratory men and the
practicing physicians are in full ac-
