THAT SECOND CHOICE VOTE

When there were two primaries
the two candidates receiving the
largest number of votes ran again
in the second primary. One Of the
two had to be nominated. The voter
who voted for the candidates that
were eliminated, voted in the second
primary their second choice vote for
one of the two high candidates, they
having cast their first choice vote
in the first primary.
The second choice vote now takes
the place of the second primary.
One of the two candidates receiving
the highest number of first choice
votes will be nominated. To the
first choice votes of these two high
men will be added the second choice
vote of those who voted for the can
didates that are eliminated.
No one can injure his first choice
vote by casting second choice vote.
Failure to vote a second choice is
equivalent to failing to vote in the
second primary. $3.50

UNIVERSAL MILITARY
TRAINING ADVOCATED
SECRETARY BAKER WILL PROB
ABLY RECOMMEND SUCH A
COURSE-HIGH COST OF LIV-
ING INVESTIGATION

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE at
tention of congress has been direct
ed sharply to matters relating to the
army and navy, which are expected
to produce even more drastic
measures of national defense than
before and be seriously considered.
Secretary Daniels, before the house
naval committee, advocated legisla-
tion compelling steel companies and
other private concerns to give gov
ernment orders preference. Secre-
tary Baker wrote Speaker Clark that
a little over half of the national
guardsmen had been brought into the
federal service up to August 81
without previous military training.
Army officers, he says, who have
been studying the European war have
reached the conclusion, it is report
ed. that the British cabinet crisi.
was due to the volunteer enlistment
system before conscription was adopt
ed It is understood he will recon-
mend universal military training.

POLITICAL ADVERTISING

Publishers Auxinary. The nation
al committees spent a lot of money
with the newspapers during the re-
Gently closed campaigns, and why
shouldn't they?
Why, also, shonld any newspaper
refuse to take the money that was
offered for advertising space, so long
as the advertising was clean and legi-
innate, and regardless of the politics
of the paper carrying it?
Some editors have been inclined to
criticize Republican papers for car
rylng Democratic advertising, or
Democratic papers for carrying Re-
publican advertising, but the fact ia
they could not very well have refus-
ed advertising from one committee
and accepted it fro mthe other and
still have computed with the postal
rulings as they apply to newspapers.
ANY newspaper can refuse to carry
any political advertising, or anv
other kind of advertising. but when
Il carries political or any other kind
OF advertising for one party or one
concern it must carry, if offered at
ITS rates, other advertising of a sim
llar character so long as it is clean
and legitimate.

A BREEZE FROM THE WEST
(By e. Nj. Woodley)


How still and calm and peaceful
the evening world seemed to the old
man who sat ON the low, warped step
of his home, drawing slow, comfort
able puffs of smoke from his old
pipe. He watched the stars come
out, the silver slice of the new moon
hanging over tie mountains. Then
little breeze from the west famed
his face and changed his visions.
The old man saw himself on an
evening like this nearly fifty years
ago-he could feel his restless little
cowpony under him as he checked
her on the hill to enjoy view of
the valley below, bathed in moon
light and peace. The great West was
young then. The prairies were dot
ted here and there with ungainly
looking shacks. herds of cattle and
horses, an occasional fortified settle
ment of white men and Indian viii
lagos.
The old man lived again the splen-
did upbuilding life of the West; he
could hear and feel the old life about
him. How he had loved it, how he
loved now the little western brooze
which brought back TO him all the
old memories

Then there were saddle horses and
tandem ponies that brought cheer af-

game that was mighty interesting.
One California steer sold for $1.7 5

FROM THE VIEWPOINT
OF A WESTERN MAN

A pithy story or a pointed parable,
told in the language of the humorist,
has frequently won cases in court and
shattered the efforts of elquent or
ators. The effectiveness of the par
able was aptly illustrated recently
at the meeting of the American Min
ing Congress at Chicago when the
Governments conservation policy was
under discussion. Judge Frank ii.
Short of Fresno, California, express
sed the western view of situation as
follows:
1.-The Sam family was one OF
wealth. The father, Uncle Sam, dl-
vided the property equally between
his sons. North, East, South and
West. The portions which fell to
the three older ones were awarded
them and placed at their disposal at
once. The youngest son, West, as
signed his portion of the estate so
early in life. was unable to take ad-
vantage of II as had his brothers. Al
ter having had full benefit of their
part OF the estate and seeing the
great value of their brothers estate
North, East and South came to the
conclusion that Vests estate should
be handled so that the profit accru-
ing from it would be divided equally
among them all"
In this parable Judge Short con-
densed the entire question into nut
she'll and clearly showed the justice
of western contentious, that the pres
ent conservation policy Of the gov
ernment is unfair to the West.

ACCIDENT CAUSES DEATH
OF A ST. ONCE WOMAN

Friday morning an accident caused
tho death of Dora, wife of Joseph
Lamy, at their farm two miles north
of st. Onge. From what can be learn
ed of the accident it appears that ear
lv in the morning Mrs. Lamy was de-
scending a short flight of stairs,
leading from the house to the back
porch, when she stepped on a little
riece of coal which was on one OF the
steps and fell. She fell very heavily
and in alighting struck on her side on
an iron scraper fastened to the porch.
At first it was not believed that her
hurts were serious, but in a very
short time she began to suffer great
ly. and medical assistance was sum-
moned. Despite the best OF attention
she passed away a few hours after
the accident, her fall having peen
fatal. Besides her husband she leaves
two small children and her mother
TO mourn for her. Her death is pc
culiarly sad one, as she had been mar
ried but few years, and at the time
of her death was % years of age, In
the full bloom of womanhood. She
was kind of heart and charitable and
beloved of all who knew her. Ar
rangements for the funeral have not
vet been made, but will probably take
place on Monday from the Catholic
church at st. Onge.

SCARCITY OF PULPWOOD

Pulpwood seems to becoming for
est product difficult to obtain, and
as a result various expedients are
being tried to overcome the short
age
Up TO the present time it has not
been found commercially possible to
ship for great distances the woods
used. Wood for pulp use is ordinar-
ily cut in cordwood lengths ayerag-
ing four feet, although in some re-
gians logs up to eight feet are ship
ped
The latest experiment along this
line is the chipping of the wood by
means of machinery or hog as it
is termed in the trade. The advant-
age of having the material in this
form is that it permits loading of the
material in box cars by the blower
system. The chips pack very compact
". and also makes possible of the use
of the smallest material, which or
dinarily would be waste on account
of the expense in handling.
The Black Hills region has a con-
siderable supply of spruce suitable
for pulp wood and if these expert
ments demonstrate the feasibility Of
the scheme there may be created a
market for the local product, provid-
ed satisfactory freight rates are OBJ
tainable. At the present time there
is considerable spruce being cut and
converted into mine props for the
mines at Cambria, but as this utiliz-
alton is not complete there is suffi-
cient material available for other
uses.
