WILSON'S PRoCRESslvlsM.i

President Wilson's progressive ideas
proven in legislation urged by him
and materialized into law should ap-
peal to the good sense OF the true pro
grcSsiycS who were of that party
because OF the faith that was in them,
Equally do some of the Wilson ap-
pUintments show his progressive ten
dcncies. Notable among these are
the appointments OF Brandeis to the
supreme court and Parry and Rnblee
to the federal trade commission.
Let il be remembered, too, that these
appointments were not forced OF made
for political reasons, but for merit
and on principle. Rublcc's coniirma

tered shorthorn heifers brought here
=, by Mr.. J. Fl. Patrick, of llderton
Canada.
To have this fine bunch of stock
bought and placed on Fergus county
farms, bids fair for the future of this
breed of cattle here. Mr.. Patrick. who
is one Of the best judges Of good
stock that has come here with stock
to sell was encouraged by the Cham

here and he states that the future
of this county is certain if the buyers
continue to stick to the heading Of
their herds with high class registered
animals, and now and then place a
good string of young heifers in their
fields.
Mr.. Miricle, who purchased this
small herd, will no doubt find in them
the nucleus of an investment that will
in time make him both well to do and
at the same time bring him excellent
advertising as the breeder of the best

G. 0. P. NOMINATES
COUNTY CANDIDATES
AT A CONVENTION
HELD IN DERING
Nominate a Ticket for all COun-
ty Offices With Exception of
County Clerk-PenningtOn to
Oppose Stump for Assessor.

At the republican county con-
vention held in Dcming Satur-
day a ticket was nominated
to oppose the democratic can
didates for the county Offices.
No one seemed to care to make
the race for clerk against c. r.
Hughes for County Clerk. The
delegates from Columbus sue
ceeded in getting two men on
the ticket from this end of the
county. S. c. Pierce of Sunnyside
stands at the head of the county
ticket. having been unanimously
nominated for the Office of. rep
resentative to the legislature.
+. Engendorf was also unani-
mously nominated for the Office
of commissioner from the second
district. Both these men are
well known in this section and
will no doubt greatly strengthen
the republican ticket in the fall
election.
The delegates from Columbus
who attended the convention in
Deming were j. R. Blair, E. En-
gendorf, Henry Burton and P.
K. Lemon. Jr. The republicans
seemed to be divided at first,
but the differences were finally
adjusted and all became very en-
thusiastic. The large number
of voters in Columbus who have
never voted in the county before
will cause the candidates some
worry at least, and it is possible
that the Columbus vote will af-
feet a change in the final result
in November.
The Republican ticket as nom
mated is as follows:

WARS THAT CREATED WORDS
"Forlorn Hope" 10 a Military Phrase
That Was Borrowed From
the Dutch.

"Kultur" is word which has
found its way into the English Ian
guage. Everybody seems to know
that there is a difference between
"culture" and "kultur"-and a diff
ference not merely of spelling.
Our sixteenth-century war with
Spain was responsible for several
new words being added to the Ian
guage. Embargo" and "contra-
band" are two of them, while to our
campaigns in the low countries we
are indebted for such words as free
booter," "furlough," Tcashier, -
leagues" drill" onslaught, "
"sconce" and "domineer."
"Forlorn hope" is military
phrase borrowed from the Dutch
"verloren hoop" hoop meaning
troop; and although "comrade" ID
q Spanish word, it came to us
through the soldiers who fought in
the low countries.
The word "khaki" was not used
| in the way it is today until tie BoeK

from the battle of Albuera in 1911
when Colonel lnglis, addressing hi
