TO SUCCEED LAMAR
NOMINATION GREAT SURPRISE,
AND WILL BE "THE BIGGEST
KIND OF A FIGHT"

WASHINGTON. - President Will
SON today selected Louis D. Brandeis
of Boston, to be associate justice OF
the supreme court to succeed the late
Justice Lamar.
Mr.. Brandeis' nomination went to
the senate today. 1t was a surprise
everywhere in official circles. Mr.
Brandies had not even been men
toned for the vacancy.
Within an hour after the arrival
of the nomination in the senate there
were indications that a vigorous
fight would be made against contir-
NATION. Some democratic senators
said they would inquire into Mr..
Brandeis' politics in view of the fact
that the court is now classed as con-
sisting of two democrats and six re-
publicans. A member of the judi
ciary committee, to which the nomi-
nation will be referred, said there
would be the biggest kind of fight"
against confirmation.
Brandies Is a Hebrew.
Brandies is the first man of Jew
ish nationality to be appointed to the
United States supreme court.
Mr.. Brandeis is lawyer who has
been much in public life during the
last three years, not only in legal
work. but in various movements for
social betterment. He is Kentuck-
ian and is so years old. He was born
and educated in Louisville and later
at Harvard university, and in 1873
began practice of law in Boston.
Mr.. Brandeis always has been
known as an independent in politics,
with leanings toward the democratic
party.
Smith Will Aid in Fight.
According to present indications
the fight against confirmation, on be-
half of the democrats, will be led by
Senator Reed, of Missouri, who led
the fight against the confirmation of
Thomas D. Jones, of Chicago, to be
member of the federal reserve board,
and which eventually was withdrawn
by the president. Senators Smith, of
Georgia, and Shields, of Tennessee,
are expected to aid Senator Reed.

of a. Good Woman.

Mrs. Matte Scott fell asleep on

a large circle of acquaintance, and
was loved by all. 1t was hard to
give her up, but it was Gods will,
and we bow in humble submission.

and w. S. Scott, and two daughters,
Mrs. Nettie Daniel and Mrs. Lear

of Prospect and High streets, known
as Ross O'Loughlin property. and that
the selectmen are authorized to dis
pose OF the building. otherwise than by
sale, if in their opinion it is for the
best intereSts of the town. Attorney
2. ]. Dandhey offered an amendment
that no action be taken in regard to
the clause.
He sgid that the matter had been
thoroughly discussed at the previous
meeting and it was voted down at
that time
He says the town receives 4 or 5
per cent. on the investment and he
considers that a good investment on
the money invested in the property.
The town expenses are increasing and
the town is in need Of money, and he
did not think it was wise to sacrifice
the investment
Fl. C. Lathrop said that the school
board favored the disposing of the
property That the space could be
used for high School Fairgrounds.
He considered it a poor investment
for the town.
Mr.. Chesbro said that the reason
TINS matter was brought up was that
when the selectmen got together they
round that II was going to cost SO
much they thought best to bring II
before the people. He said that he

cost $500 at least to put them in. san

This caused much discussion. First
Selectman E, B: Chesebre told of the

WIVES AND MOTHERS

Have you ever stopped to realize
how much the health of your family
depends upon you. For instance,
diet is a great factor in health and
you are responsible for it, then again
when any member of your family
gets into a run down condition, when
the children are delicate, cross and
ailing, When somebody takes cold and
develops a cough, they look to you for
help. Do you know that our local
druggist, G. G. Engler, Proprietor of
the Broadway Pharmacy, has a nom
secret constitutional remedy known as
Vinol which he guarantees for just
such. conditions. Many families in
this vicinity have found it so reliable
they are never without it.

Remedy Prescribed
BY Many Doctors
Compound Of Simple Laxative
Herbs Proves Most
Efficient

DR.. w. A. Evans, writing for the
Chicago Tribune makes the assertion
that practically everyone, at some time
or other. suffers from constipation.
This applies regardless Of age or con-
dition in life
The congestion of stomach waste in
the bowels is evidenced in various
ways; bloat, eructation of foul stomach
gases, sick headache, langour, all indi-
cate constipation. and call for prompt
attention, not only to relieve the pres
ent discomfort but also to avoid possi-
BILE disease that follows neglect of this
important function.
Harsh cathartics and violent purga-
tives should not be employed, as these
afford only temporary relief, while they
serve to shock the entire system. A
mild laxative such as DR.. Caldwell's
Syrup Pepsin is far preferable and is
now the remedy generally used and
prescribed by many doctors. 1t is free
from opiate or narcotic drugs, acts
easily and pleasantly, without gripping
or other pain and is a safe, effective
family remedy
Mr.. Chas ScheIl 1872 Church St,

relief himself by using DR.. Caldwells

Recalled Brave Deeds.
Comrade George T. Mech of Mid

Wilson's ProGressivism

President Wilson's progressive
ideas proven in legislation urged
by him and matorialiled into law
should appeal to the good sense
Of the true Progrcssiycs who were
of that party because Of the faith
that was in them.
Equally do some Of the v ilson
appointments show his progress
sive tendencies. Notable among
these are the appointments OF
Brandeis to the Supreme court
and Parry and Rublec to the Fed.
eral Trade Commission.
Let it be remembered too that
these appointments were not
forced or made for political rca-
sons, but for merit and on princi
pie. Rublee's confirmation was
prcJented in the senate by Senator
Gallinger, leader Of the Republi
can cold Guard
Difficult will be the way of any
Progressive applicant for office,
even a Progressive Republican, il
Hughes is elected; he will have tt
run the gauntlet Of the "Old

will bcset progressive legislation.

When Fall Flowing is Advisable

Indiscriminate and general ad-
vice to break land in the fall is
bad, because fall blowing, while
it may be a good thing in the
right place, may be a very bad
thing under certain conditions.
We must not forget, too, that
where a choice must be made
between fall blowing and cover
crops, the wise farmer will usual
ly choose the latter.
Generally, level or nearly level
lands not subject to washing and
on which there is a great deal of
vegetable matter may be safely
plowed in the fall. Of course, if
this breaking can be done early
enough to admit Of the planting
Of q cover crop of clover, vetch,
rye or oats, SO much the better.
On our rolling lands that are
likely to wash, we doubt the adj
visibility of fall blowing under
any circumstances unless fol-
lowed by a winter cover crop.
The trouble here is that by the
time our summer-growing crops
are off the land and it is broken,
it is usually too late to put in a
cover crop. Where this is the
case, we would much prefer to
plurt clover, rye or oats between
the cotton or corn rows, merely
scratching the seed in, instead
Of attempting to fall break.
rs a means of preventing in
sect injury fall blowing IS GER
taihly helpful, and it may also
have value in making stiff, tight
lands more easily tillabIe; but on
the rolling lands let's never for
get that on lands broken and
left bare all winter the losses
from washing will probably far
outweigh any benefits obtained.
