Congressman Keating'S Letter

The strength of the Wilson ad-
ministration was never better ex-
emplified than by the actions of
certain republican congressman
in Illinois and other central wes-
tern states who are seeking re-
election on the ground that they
voted and worked for the prin-
cipal measures enacted during
the last four years.
In a page adver tisement in his
home paper congressman Copley
of Illinois says he is completing
his third term in the house, and
says:
During this time more legis-
lation of con structive character
has been enacted into law than
in any other like period in the
history of the country"
Mr.. Copley furnishes a detail
ed list of the good things given
to the country by the democratic
administration, as follows:
Democratic Achievements
The Clayton antitrust act.
"The bill to create the depart
ment of Labor.
"The rural credits act.
"a Anonpartisan tariff commits
sion.
THE election of United Sta les
senators dy direct vote.
''The inheritance tax, viii ch
will yield $50, 100000 annually.
The income tax law in its
present form, by which S15O.COO.
900 annually will be raised.
THE federal reserve act, whic /
makesitimpossible for Wall steet ,
bankers to create money panics.
"The trade commission which
gives the government regulation
and control of the large indus
trial corporations.

man Foss and Mckenzie of Hi.
nois, both republicans, are a
mong those who have adopted
Congressman Copley's tactics
and are endeavering to ride into
office on democratic pianks.
1t is an ordinary spectacle and
has probably never been dupli-
Gated in the political history of
this country. 1t may be taken
as proof positive that, in. the
opinion of astute republicans,
the people are with Woodrow

Dear Tom:
| am writing to assure you that
all Of your friends in Schley county
are heartily i'll sympathy with you
relative to your present sickness and
TO doubly assure you that your cause
in this county is being zealously
guarded during your illness.
Touching the various unscrupulous
issues that have been injected into
abe campaign by your opponent and
his friends | feel that it would not
be out Of place for me in my feeble
way to give You my ideas Of just
how the people of your old home
county are receiving Mr.. Crisp's I'M
thought-of TRADES on your past con-
duct and record.
In the first place, the voters of
Schley county are too intelligent to
give consideration to a charge based
upon q Legislative vote conscicntiously
cast eighteen years ago, even if such
vote might not be in accord with
present-day opinion. The people Of
Schiey County are not seeking a
Congressman who displays no greater
ability than to plant his claims for
election on the questionable mistake
of his opponent, claimed by him to
Nave been made nearly a quarter of
q century ago. Such denagOguery
would disqualify President Wilson
for the humble office of Coroner.
Besides, it is an easy matter for any
of us to look back and grow wise,
but it is not the man who can only
see things in the past that we need
liz Congress, it is the man that, to
some extent. can see into the future !;
and Judging the future by the past,
we feel that you are the man to pro-
auce results along this line. IT'S
RESULTS BROUGHT CLOSE TO
OUR DOOR, that the people of
sSchley County want; they have since
Aecome tired of the "baCk traCker,''
who comes around every two years,
GUST BEFORE ELECTION TIME.
and offers them nothing more than
"a list Of MIGHTY DEEDS the
administration has accomplished
through his direct influence, when in
SUCH MIGHTY DEEDS are SO
foreign to local needs and immediate
interests that they absolutely fail to
sappease the appetite or quench the
thirst.
All manner Of ugly things have
been circulated against you in SChley
coming direct from Mr.. Crisp and
his followers.
They report here that you have
F"took up with the Catholics. OF
course, this needs no denial on your
part; you have grown stronger by
cause of this dirty, filthy, little stink
lag unfounded and INSCRIPTIONS tact
Everybody in Schley knows that your
sshurch membership is, and has been
for years, with the congregation OF
the Andrew Chappell Church, in this
county, which can be verified by ref
eEence to your Pastor, Rev. S. A
lBearn, Of Ellaville, Ga.
Mr. Crisp, I am reliably informed
has seen fit to attack your record as
Commissioner of Agriculture, charg-
Ing that you were inefficient and
sBSaandered large sums of money by
reason of your inefficiency; this he
rants at length upon in a LOUD AND
DRAMATIC TONE cries INVEST:
GATION OF YOUR DEPARTMENT.
Now, I was in the legislature at the
Nine this investigation was Matched
aGg against you, and every member Of
zAat Legislature knew then, and
Hca0w now, that the whole thing was
Isaached-up by Jack Slaton to head
5Na off from running for Governor

Odd Water Cooler.

When native woman of one OF the
broiling hot little villages of interior
Nicaragua wants to cool some water
she sets about it in way little calcu,
lated to cool herself. The average ma
tive woman looks frail and listless, but
there is no suspicion of iistlessness
about her process Of water cooling.
She fills a half gallon earthenware jar
about two-thirds full The jar is made
Of baked clay and. not being glazed, is
partially porous, so that 1t soon be,
comes moist on the outside.
BY means of two. leathern straps
firmly attached to the neck of the, jar
the woman causes the same to rotate
swiftly in the air. The mouth is wide
open. but centrifugal action keeps the
water from flying out. The endurance
exhibited by the native women is mar
velOus.
When the operator thinks the water
Is sufficiently cooled she stops the
movement by dexterous twist of her
who has been waiting to quench his
thirst.
Usually he takes a mouthful. gulps II
down and growls, MOCHA calora,'
which is a native patois for wretch
eddy hot" and she patiently resumes
her task of describing pinwheels. 1t is
said by this process tepid water can be
reduced to the temperature Of cool
mountain spring.

GEO. ". MILHAM FOR
COUNTY COMMISSIONER
Served Twelve Years as Supervisor of
the CheIan National forest
at Chelan

Mr.. Milham is spending some time
among the voters Of the western part
OF the county this week and says he
hopes to meet as many Of the voters as
possible. He thinks his long residence
in the county and familiarity with the
wants OF the taxpayers, together with
a knowledgs of land values and ex-
perience in road building and the cost
Of the same, acquired while acting as
Supervisor OF the Chelan National
Forest for the past twelve years fits him
for county commissioner. Many roads
have been built in this county under
the supervision Of the forestry depart
ment and their cost is one OF the things
that is closely and carefully calculated
by the department.
Mr.. Milham says the report that he
is not a taxpayer in the county is
wholly false. He pays taxes in both
Chelan and Okanogan counties, as the
records show. He hopes to be elected
purely on his merits. because he is
qualified by his past occupation and
long residence in the county.

STATES WILL COOPERATE
WITH FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
To Promote Success in Marketing Fruit
Of the Three Great Apple States
of the Northwest

State cooperation with both the fed
eral government and the fruit growers
agency is the result OF the conference
Of governors of the three northwestern
states which was held at North Yakima
last month. Governor Withycombe oil
Oregon, Governor Alexander Of Idaho,
and Governor Lister of Washington, en-
dorsed the agency and agreed to ap-
point an advisory board to consist Of
nine members. three to be appointed
by the governor OF each state. The
function of this board is the sugges-
ton OF means whereby the state gov
ernments can best work with the fed
eral government and the agency for
benefit Of the fruit industry Of the
northwest.
Governor Lister conferred with Pres
ident Weyrauch last week over the ap-
pointments to be made. and the ap
pointments will probably be announced
just as soon as all three state executives
can make their selections.
