NEW KIND OF CONVEYANCE
Shallow Streams Can Be Navigated
With Good Results With Hydro
plane Boats.

The public has not yet begun to
realize that the world is about to
have added to it a great system Of
water transportation upon shallow
streams that undoubtedly will bring
producers and consumers closer to-
gether, remarks the Detroit Journal.
Hydroaeroplane boats are being built
capable Of skimming over the surface
of shallow rivers and being really
able to carry a considerable amount
Of freight.
One of these air-water boats has
made a successful trip on the Hud-
son, attaining a speed Of twenty
eight miles an hour.
1t consists of three sets Of pom
toons, each independently removable
in case of puncture, and each filed
with Understanding material. The
boat has two propellers, driven in air
like those Of a hydroaeropIane, and
is easily steered and controlled. Its
middle section has a motor car body
and cover, 50 that ten people can be
comfortably seated. And there is
space for freight.
While this particular boat was
built for use on a Colombia river.
there is no reason why it should
not be found on the many nayigable
streams in the United States and
Canada that are shallow and long.
and flowing through cultivated areas
lacking transportation facilities. Per-
sons who have travelled can recall
such streams where better transpor-
tation facilities would greatly in
crease the joy Of living for that par
ticular locality.

Houston the Logical Man for
State Senator.

State Senator.
The time has come for Cass
County to name the candidate
for State Senator from this, the
Seventeenth Senatorial district
of Missouri.
Lafayette and Johnson have
each had their turn, and now it
is up to Cass County to name
the man for the Democratic
party.
w. P. Houston, Mayor of Bel
ton, now serving his third term
in that capacity, has also served
two terms in the Legislature
from Cass County, and few there
are who can show a better
record for efficiency and square
dealing in public business as well
as in every day life.
The MAYHEM Era, speaking
for Lafayette County, states,
Houston is the Logical Man."
and the Warrensburg Star-Jour-
nal speaking for Johnson
County, states, "That from the
best Information available Hous-
ton seems to be the favorite in
Cass County"
Mr.. Houston has thoroughly
canvassed the towns and villa
ges in the three counties and has
his campaign well advanced.
There is yet nearly one month
before the Democratic primary
which will be held August LIST,
but if present reports are to be
taken as a true index Of results
on that day, it is safe to pre-
dict that the Bolton man will win
this race on his merits as he has
won races on merit in the past.

PENNIES FOR "DANDY"
Its Breed Is a Question, But Dogcateh-
er Can't Harm These Chill
dren's Pet.

Dandy, the household dog at the
Burkhart home, viii not be taken by
any old dog-catcher nan this year.
Dandy is not much on pedigree, but
it can wag its tail with nonchalance
and hold up its head, because Elm
ore and Marion Burkhart, seven and
nine years old, respectively, walked
into the Omaha city clerks Office and
handed over 80 pennies each, in re-
turn for which they received dog
license tag No. 257 and a receipt
showing they had paid the money,
says the Bee Of that city.
These children saved their pennies
for some time and now they may
sleep without having bad dreams of
the dog-catchers getting Dandy. The
dog is white, with black spots, and
when the dog license man asked for
Dandy's breed they looked at each
other in bewilderment, as if they
had forgotten to bring some impor-
tant facts regarding the past life Of
Dandy.
There is a blank space on the rec
ords where the breed should be re-
corded, but that did not make any
difference when the clerk handed over
the tag and the youngsters proudly
fastened it on Dandy's neck.

take So seriously now, recon-
mended a man for the place
whom the Congressman hardly
gave consideration.
There is really no explanation
necessary as to why anyone
should not favor MI. Hamlin.
He is serving on his twelfth year
in Congress. He wants fourteen
years and if he gets that he viii
want another term, and SO on
through life. His argument for
denomination is that he has held
the Office SO long that to make a
change now void endanger the
safety Of the country. 1t is
dreadful to contemplate what
would happen if he should die.
He draws about $4,000 a year
from the government, and with
that sum it would seem that
another man might be hired who
could possibly steer the ship of
state through all dangers with
the assistance of President Will
son.

The new revenue bill passed
10y the lower House of Congress
repeats the stamp tax on notes
and deeds. This is right. It
doubles the income tax rate, inn
poses a tax on large inheritances
and taxes the profits Of munition
plants. It is estimated that it
will bring in $780, OO,O adj
ditional revenue. It also pro-
vides a protective duty on the
manufacture Of d~ye-stuffs, pro-
hibits the dumping Of foreign
goods on the American market
following the close of the war
and provides for a tariff com
mission. It's another piece of
high class, progressive legisla-
ton for which the Wilson adj
ministration has become famous
