HOW HANLY SEES IT

Indianapolis, Nov. 11.-As a
valuable light upon the campaign
and the things that are to follow
the campaign, the Prohibition
public should read two things
which appear this week in the
National Enquirer, the paper of
which the Hon. J. Frank Hanly
lis editor-in-chief. The first is a
telegram sent by Mr.. Hanly to the
New York World on Wednesday
morning. It reads as follows:
"Michian, Nebraska, South Da-
kota, Montana and Utah have
steppeS out of the column of the
damned into the column of the
redeem( !, the first four by con-
stitutiohal amendments, the last
by the election Of a legislature
pledged to enact a statewide law
at its session in January. It's
a great victory and l am rejoic-
ing.
Wherever DR.. Landrith, my
great associate, and | spoke in
our trip through these states we
said to the people: "You may do
what you will with us. Vote us
up or vote us down, if you will
only save the Prohibition
amendment.
"These victories raise the dry
states to twenty-three. Thirty
six will do the business. We
mean to have the thirty-six."
The second is the leading edi-
torial of that paper, signed by
Mr.. Hanly, in which, under the
editorial heading, Prohibition
Triumphant" he says:
"Six states Michian, Mon
tana, Nebraska, South Dakota,
Florida and Utah-on Tuesday
stepped out of the column of the
damned into the column of the
redeemed on the Prohibition is
sue, the first four by direct con-
stitutional amendments, the last
two by the election of a COVER
nor and legislature pledged to a
statewide enactment at the ses-
sion of the general assembly to
convene next January.
Missouri was lost and prob
ably California.
''The winning of these six
states is a matter of profound
qualification to both DIR. Land
rith and myself. Through our
special train campaign, we had
a fine part in five of them in the
fight for their redemption speak
: ing to thousands of people in
each of them.
wherever we spoke we gave
first consideration to the dry is
sue, telling the people, without
qualification, that they might
vote US up or vote US down, if
they would only redeem their
state by making it dry. No 9TH

party uttered word in any one
of them in support of the peo-
pie in the fights theyawere MAX

tongues were dumb. Their lips
were sealed. If they could OBJ

CLEANING SILVERWARE

CLEANING SILVERWARE
Washington, Nov. 15th.-An
easy and effective method of
cleaning furnished silverware
by boiling in a soda and salt
solutionin contact with a clean
piece of aluminium or zinc is
recommended to housewives by
the Agriculture department as
result of studies made by its
specialists in home economics.
The necessary procedure is so
simple that it may be followed
successfully in practically any
home.
The cleaning system known as
the electrolytic method has been
well recognized for several
years.
What the Electrodytic Method Is
The tarnish which occurs on
silver is not due to oxidation,
but is dependent entirely upon
the action of sulphur. In most
cases the source of the sulphur
causing tarnish is rubber, wool,
foods like eggs, and the sulphur
in the air due to burning illu-
minating gas and coal. The
electrolytic cleaning method de-
ponds on the facts that this tar
nish of silver sulphid is slightly
soluble in the hot solution en-
ployed, and that it is broken
down chemically and its silver
content redeposited on the ware
when the proper electrical con-
ditions prevail. The presence of
both the silver and the alumni
mum or zinc in the hot solution
provides the necessary electrical
conditions. Under this method,
therefore, practically all the sill
yer in the tarnish is returned to
the object being cleaned. When
silver polishes are used on the
other hand, all the silver in COM
bination in the rarnish is re-
moved.
Methods Recommended.
In the cleaning method recon-
commended by the department
the necessary materials are a
ganiteware cooking utensil deep
enough to allow the silverware
to be covered by the solution; a
clean piece Of aluminium or zinc,
preferably the former; and bak-
ing or washing soda. The solu-
ton, consisting of teaspoonful
Of baking or washing soda and
a like amount of table salt toll
each quart of water, is brought
to boil in a graniteWare or en-
ameled utensil. A sheet of al
minimum or clean zinc is dropped
in. The furnished silverware is
then immersed in the solution so
that it is in contact with the
sheet of aluminium or zinc. The
tarnish should disappear in q |
few seconds. The silver object
should then be removed from
the solution rinsed and dried
with a soft cloth.
Aluminium is much more SAT-
than zinc for use in
his cleaning process, since it !
does not become coated with a
aver of carbonates which would !
with the chemical re-
2ction. Zinc does form carbon
ates and, if used, must be clean
ID frequently IN dilute hydroch-
Ioric acid. A small sheet of al
minimum may be purchased, e.
specially for silver cleaning pur-
poses, or a piece of an old alum
mum utensil we'll cleaned may
De used. Utensils which would
alter be used in cooking opera
ions, should never be employed
n cleaning silverware by the
slectrolytic method. If very large
pieces of silver are to be cleaned
and a container is required larg-
n than can be placed conven-

NEW STATE "PIPE DREAM"

Of all the interesting political "pipc
dreams" the one had by delegate to
the Democratic State convention held
recently is the best that SO far has
slipped into print, says the Pocatello
Tribune. After he had returned home
this delegate gave his local paper an
interview in which he says in part:
Some time, not many years in the
future let us hope, north Idaho may be
annexed to eastern Washington and q
new State created out Of the TERRITORY
now comprising both. The people of
such State would have interests in
common, they would come to know each
other, and would not have to travel a
day and half to get from one end of
it to the other. Then PocatellO would
become the capital of the section Topped
off to the south and Coeur d'Alene the
capital of the new commonwealth. Such
an arrangement would be great i'm
prOvement over present conditions. We
may talk and talk about north and
south railroad in Idaho, but to all ap-
pearances we are no nearer the consurn-
nation Of this fact than we were 20
years ago.

POCATELLO CHRONICLE
SALE FALLS THROUGH

The reported sale Of the Pocatello
Chronicle to Wood D. Parker, Of st.
Anthony, has fallen through, owing, it
is stated, to the failure of the present
owner of the plant to agree to pay the
outstanding debts, which amount to
several thousand dollars.
One issue of the paper was gotten out
under the management Of Mr.. Parker,
but when the deal was about to be
closed and the amount Of debts deter
mined, Parker refused to take it over
under the conditions imposed. 1t is
rumored that prominent Democrats of
Pocatello and other parts of the State
are seriously considering purchasing the
plant, as the need of Democratic pa
per in that part Of the State is thought
to be imperative by prominent members
of that party.
1t is said that Governor Moses Alex
ander has been requested by Pocatello
Democrats to help put the paper on its
feet again by subscribing for substan-
tial block of stock in the contemplated
corporation.
The Blackfoot optimist., 1916-06-15

been sent there by the sugar company
and advences of money and material
have been made.
Mr.. Cutler said the Russians are prov.
ing to be the best sugar beet growers
in the west and that more colonies
will be placed on beet lands in the
intermOuntain country.
The scarcity Of labor in Nevada in
the vicinity of Fallon, where number
of sugar men connected with the Utah
Idaho Sugar company will have charge
of the rejuvenation of the Nevada
Sugar company, is causing some worry
Mr. Cutler announced that japanese
agent would be placed in charge of the
work in Nevada and that all the labor
necessary would be supplied for sowing
and reaping
A little replanting in Idaho made
necessary by the heavy frosts of the
past three weeks had been completed
In Utah the frost did not affect the
beets to any great extent.

BIG. SUGAR CROP NOW ASSURED

The greatest sugar crop ever pre-.
duced by the states of Utah and Idaho
is predicted by T. R. Cutler, vice presi-
dent and general manager of the Utah
Idaho Sugar company, provided no fur
ther cold snaps retard the growth of
the beets, says the Salt Lake Herald
Republican. Reports received from all
beet growing sections of the two states
Saturday were to the effect that the
heavy rains in Idaho and northern
Utah had given the right touch of
moisture. Investigation disclosed that
the roots of the beets had gone far into
the ground in search of moisture during
the dry season and Mr.. Cutler said this
predicted a quick maturing.
The company is interested in the
work being done by the Russian colon
lists who are working part Of the sugar
fields for the company i'll the Bear river
valley. Two colonies Of Russians have
