Count With You?

Did you ever
Hear of a mechanical
Breakage on a
Dodge Brothers Car?
No.
Neither did we.
If a Gear, a Spring,
Or a Shaft
On Dodge Brothers
Car has ever broken
In our territory
(Thurston and Mason
Counties) it is likely
We would know of it,
But no such case
Has been reported
To us.
AND YET,
We are compelled
By Dodge Brothers
To carry
fright here in Olympia)
A stock of parts
Including every
Important part of
The car.
Because,
Some day
Something is bound to
Break, even on q
Dodge Brothers car.
And when it does
Dodge Brothers
Take the stand
That the owner
Should be able to get
Inc pdrC
Where he got the car.
And remember that
Dodge Brothers parts
Are the best
That can be made,
And the prices are
At least 40 per cent lower
Than those on
Other cars.
Think these things over.

CATCH THEM AND KILL THEM.
Don't Keep Fish Alive After You Get
Them Out Of the Water.

!
Them Out Of the Water.
Probably nine-tenths of the fisher
men hereabouts make the mistake Of
trying to keep their fish alive after they
are caught on the theory that the flesh
will taste better after they get home
and prepare them for the pan for cook
ing. They string them and keep them
In the water or let them die in the
creel.
The custom is mistake, according
to the experts. They declare the best
way is to kill the fish the moment it is
landed by pushing its head back and
thus breaking the neck or giving it a
hard blow on the head. Then take q
knife and "bleed" them by running the
knife blade around the bottom of the
gills.
"In order to get your fish home with
out any discoloration," declares a vet
eran angler, take along a yard or two
of white cheescloth, and as soon as the
fish is caught kill it and bleed it. Then
dampen the cloth and wxap up each
fish separately. taking care that no two
fish touch each other.
by doing this you will find that the
fish will retain all tpe color marking
just as clear and bright as when 1t was
first taken from the water and the fish
will be sweet and palatable. "-Phila-
delphia Ledger.

DELAYED INAUGURATION.
Why Washington Had to Wait Until
April 80 In 1889.

why Warrington 1ao TO wait OnSo
April 80 In 1889.
Although March is the date set by
law for the Inauguration of our presf-
dents, there was one occasion when the
rule was not observed, for George
Washington was inaugurated on April
80, 1889, instead Of March 4.
When the constitution had been rati-
fed by the requisite number Of states
the Continental congress by resolution
Of Sept. ID, 17SS, set the first Wednes-
day Of the following March (March 4,
1880 as the time for commencing pro-
ceedings'' under the new form of gov
eminent
Owing to delays of various kinds.
such as difficulties of travel, etc., mem
bers of the first congress were very
slow to assemble in New York, and a
quorum of both houses was not OBJ
tanned until April 6. The counting Of
the electoral vote, the notification of
Washington and his journey from
Mount Vernon to New York took until
April %. and his inauguration was set
for April 80
His term of office was, however, con-
strued as having commenced on March
4, the date set by the Continental con-
gress for the inauguration of the new
government, and so it came to an end
on March 4. 1893, although it lacked
nearly two months of the four years
provided for by the constitution.-New

Auction is Cash Register
Of Fruit Marketing

It would be well for the grower Of
apples to remember that the auction
system of selling fruit, as found in
the large population centers, enables
him to get prompt returns, low
selling expense, and those prices which
can only be produced by active con.
centrated competition where all the
buyers have an opportunity to view
the offerings.
Also, because of the glare Of pub.
Lefty that plays upon every move
under the auction system the shipper
need not worry about the honesty
of the agent with whom he deals
The auction works equally hard fol
every shipper and renders accurate
returns like cash register.
The auction companies belonging ia
the American Fruit and Produce Auc.
ton Association, excepting the Kansas
City Auction, will not accept consign.
ments direct. The fruit must come
through the representatives of the CO.
operative associations or through re.
ceivers who serve as agents Of in.
dividual shippers. The grower is rep.
resented at the auction sales and thus
the system Of checks and balances ID
made complete.-No. 8.

SISTER OF HOGAN
MURDERED BY SON
Nephew of Local Dairyman Kills
Mother and Brother in
Fit of Insanity

Claude Tinker, who killed his moth
er and brother on their place at Pearl,
near Bridgeport last Thursday, and
sought to make way with his father,
is nephew of j. c. Hogan, the MUIR
dered woman being his sister.
Mr.. Hogan is in receipt of letter
from relatives giving the details of
the tragedy as follows: "Claude was
released from the asylum at Medical
Lake about month ago, to which he
was committed, his insanity having
been caused by a fractured skull re-
ceived about four years ago. While in
the asylum he was a model patient
and had been apparently sane since
returning home.
"Last Thursday he loaded shotgun
and shot his mother in the head as she
was returning from the garden and
then went into the field and killed his
brother Frank who was riding horse
behind harrow. Later he opened
fire on his father but wounded him but
slightly. After that he went to the
barn and cared for his brothers team
which had come from the field and re-
turned and sought to attack his father
who had taken refuge in the house.
Returning to the field he cut the throat
of his dead brother with pocket
knife and put an umbrella over the
body of his mother to protect it from
the rain which had begun to fall. He
was sitting in the barn door when Of
ficers arrived and made no resistance
when taken into custody"

Napoleon's Custodian at St. Helena.

Napoleon's Custodian at st. Helena.
Sir Hudson Lowe, the man appointed
by England to be the custodian of the
emperor, arrived at st. Helena on
April IA, 1916. His appearance was
not prepossessing.. He was extraordi-
narily thin. with stiff carriage. He
had long, bony face. blOtched with
red and scanty hair Of dirty yellow
color. His hollow eyes cleaned un-
der thick. reddish eyebrows. but were
furtive and restless. never looking
straight at any one save by stealth.
THAT is bad man." declared Ma
poleon, when he had seen him. His
eye as he examined me was like a
hyena's caught in trap"
He really resembled this horrid, sly
animal in its walk as well as in hair
and eyes He never sat down when he
was talking, but swung about hesitat-
ingly and with abrupt jerks.-"With

Lucius Emilius Paulus, a Roman
consul, being about to divorce his wife
suffered the remonstrances and re-
proaches of his followers, who asked:
"Is she not chaste? Is she not beau

For answer Lucius took off his shoe
saying, "See this shoe? It is well
formed, is it not? It is handsome, is
it not? My friends, no one knows
where that shoe pinches save he who
wears it."
