ian would support Bourne, his election
would be certain, and all chance Of
electing democrat would be eliminat-
ed. It is also interesting to note that
no other candidate 8 name inspires CON
fidence that he can beat democratic
nominee.
For the governorship Ben w. Olcott
is more discussed than any other, and
it is conceded universally that it will
be hard to beat him if he permits the
use of his name If Governor Witty
combe is provoked into running for re-
election, he will give any of them a
merry race, for his administration has
won the hearts of republicans, in spite
of mistakes which are attributed to
his loyalty to friends rather than to
any selfish desire to build up personal
machine.
Treasurer Thomas B. Kay is talked Of
as the principal rival to Olcott. Walter
Evans, prosecuting attorney of Portland
is looked to as favorite at home and

Congressman Sinnott is also mention
ed. but not SO much so as Hawley. He
and Macarthur are looked to as possi-
BILE aspirants for Senator Chamberlain 's
seat in 1920.
Other senatorial aspirations some
what discussed are those supposed to
animate the breasts of s. B. Hurson of
Portland and j.. r. Bean Of Eugene.
Speaker Stanfield is mentioned as sena-
torial or governorship material. Charles
L. McNary of Salem is said to be VIII
ing to stand if it will harmonize the
party, although his interests are Tor
the ennine.
Then there is talk of A. e. Clark.
Mysterious rumors come in of newspa-
pers out in the state, said to have been
acquired by him to sound his praises
when the time comes.
w. Lair Thompson is mentioned for
senator and governor. In spite Of ms
defeat by one vote at the last election,
he is regarded as looming big as pos
sibility for higher office.
Talk Of John B. Yeon and $. Benson
will not down They are the idol Of the
road enthusiasts, who would enjoy boost
ing them into political honors. No one
seems to know whether they are repub-
licans or democrats, or even to care II
these days when party standing is more
of handicap than help.
1t is interesting to note that Jona-
than Bourne s name is much discussed,
and usually coupled with the wish that
he had not abandoned his residence
in Oregon. An opinion almost uniyer-
sally expressed is that if the Oregon

Edgar B. Piper is also much men
toned. He is much respected and also
hated. His assumption of responsible
ty for whatever the republican party
does in Oregon has won him many ad-
herents, and flock of enemies within
party ranks. His is about the only in
stance Of all inclusive responsibility
that has been manifest since the CON
vention system has rotted into ruin.
He is looked to as one man who tries to
keep his party straight, and as under,
standing present day conditions-a sort
of combination of diseiplinarian and
humanitarian. His dignity, intellectual
ity and capacity as public speaker
are commented upon as being of sena-
torial caliber. Opinion is divided as to
whether he would stand any chance of
nomination, but undivided as to what
would be the attitude of Journal re-
publicans.

Among the republicans there is no
shortage of candidates.
Looming most formidable among
them ali is ex-senator Charles w. Full
ton, who has been playing to get the
labor union vote. That able and dis
tinguished gentleman understands the
aspirations and hopes of the present
generation better than does the mum
my Rameses, but the aforesaid present
generation does not give him credit
for that wealth of knowledge. They
have him tagged as belonging to the
stone age of Oregon politics. General
opinion around the state house is that
he has little chance for the nomination.

"The day had been quiet so far as

than usual. Finally, late in the after
noon a dapper young man, faultlessly
dressed and carrying a cane, walked
up to the desk and asked: IF |

w stward!

In the Technology of the trenches ''He
went West" means He died.')
Crimson the trail that westward runs
From the shot swept sky and the flaming
guns,
From the haunts where death keeps vigil
still
With fiery breath and steefs hot will.
Crimson the trail to the sunset far.
Countless the feet on the pathway are;
Westward is peace beyond the din:
Where the gray ranks met in the dawn
mist thin.
Crimson the trail to the quiet skies
Where the great guns threat into silence
dies
Where wounds are healed with a holy
balm
And the fevered rest in a slumber calm.
Glorious the trail that the brave heart
takes
Though love behind knows the old heart
aches
Over the hills where the sun goes down
To wales eternal OF bright renown'

is being used for relief work in con-
nection with the war.
In Lynden each year, local lodges
are spending no little money each
year for tons of coffee, chicken, cake,
CLAIMS, cookies and condiments that
are consumed at midnight meals.
Also cigars.
This money could be used to far
better advantage If it were assigned
to some worthy cause. such as that
of the Red Cross. And the lodge
members would be far better off
unstuffed and undrugged by husky
coffee, they would gain many hours

Remember your first street car ride,

REEoREsrINe WORK.

In view of the heavy drain that is being made upon the timber resources of this country and the frequency with which advice is being offered in be- half of reforesting in order to provide for a supply for the future in keeping with the demands, 1t is impossible to made in Michigan to this very end.
 That state now owns about 540,o00 acres of land and on this it is pro- posed to plant trees at the rate of 4500 acres a year, and in what is known as a period of rotation consisting of 60 years all of 270,000 acres can be planted and by 1947 it will be possi- ble to cut at the rate of 450o acres a. year, which land could be replanted at the same rate and the state would be getting valuable return from the ef- forts expended to say nothing of the important contribution that would be made to the lumber supply.
 The success of this plan depends upon the willingness of the legisla- ture to increase its annual appropria- tion for such work to s159.000. It is an ambitious plan of utilizing the land which is now producing little or no return to meet important needs from which the state should receive a hand some return, but over and above that 1t is setting an example of great value to the land owners inside and outside of the state who are allowing land to go to waste or bring in no return when the opportunity to do this very thing ought to be embraced

THE ARMY BILL.

Big appropriation bills are being faced by congress at the present time, but it must be realized that some of the largest, especially those for na- tiona1 defense, are no larger than they ought to be under existing circum- stances Too little consideration has been given to these matters in the past, due to.the belief that there was -441 danger of war, and the result is that greater efforts must be made now in order to put the nation in a proper position to defend itself should war actually come.
 The passage Of the bill calling for a quarter of a billion for the army is a large sum but it is no more than that branch of the government service needs. Its shortcomings have been brought to light time and again during the past two years. Greater emphasis was placed upon it as the result of the trouble with Mexico and the call ing out of the state militia in addition to the regulars. Fortunate indeed, &C., cording to officials who are in close touch with the situation that the trou- ble was no worse than it was and that we were able to recall the troops with out doing any more fighting than took place. The weakness of the federal fixed militia was a lesson which can- not be overlooked Admiral Peary is now calling attention to the inadequate measures which have been taken to build up a proper defense in the way of airships. and the need of putting more thought upon this branch of the service.
 Thus in the light of present day revelations the army appropriation is none too large and that it is to be re- membered is but one of the branches of the nations defense.

WORTH KNOWING.

Enquirer" asks how to wash co1- ored voile dress to prevent it shrink ing or the color running.
 There is, no means at all of prevent
 ing voile from shrinking. Some voiles shrink badly, others not at all, and, fortunately, the patterned colored voiIes seem less inclined to shrink than the white ones. Have the wash ing and rinsing waters both of the same temperature. Tepid water is the best to use, as washing in warm water and rinsing in cold is apt to cause shrinkage ,and cold water does not usually get rid of all spots. Be careful not to rub soap on the voile. Melt the soap, and mix it with the water in which the dress is washed Before washing the dress soak it for couple of hours in tepid water to which a good handful of salt has been added. After washing rinse in clear tepid water. and finally in a water to which salt has again been added. If the prevailing color of the dress is blue make this Last rinsing water fairly blue, as one would blue white clothes. If the colors are greens. pinks, or reds, ad little vinegar to the last rinsing water. Even with all these precautions, however, it is im- possible to guarantee that the color will not run to some extent, because the dyes now in use are not reiiaS.e.

sea merchantmen which Germany has
 built and put into service. There is
 now much mystery as to what has be-
 come of the Deutschland and the Bre-
 men. It Is even claimed that there was no such submarine as the Bremen. That the impression or even the story was allowed to get abroad for the pur- aaJse of clouding the situation. On tGe other hand there are claims to the effect that it was lost during the storms in the Atlantic at the time it was started for this country. But while the report that it was lost on the initial trip is generally credited there is nothing upon which to base the fact that it is lost any more than there is to substantiate the British claim that it was caught and is now in a British harbor.
 The situation is much the same with the Deutschland. To offset the asser- ton of captain returning from Eng land that he had seen it tied up in port with other underwater boats is the German claim that 1t has never left Bremen. and still an- other that it is serving as a tender to the U-boats. but with such contradictory statements it is quite evident that the real facts will not be known for some time, possibly until the end of the war.

I had shooting pains through my back and shoulders and my knees used to swell. would be 90 stin in the morning that I would be unable to bend over when dressing. Of course got run down, lost my appe- tite, had poor digestion, and became nervous. Who wouldn't?
 You can bet that I tried all the medicines I could lay my hands on, but with the same discouraging re- suit all the time. Nothing helped me at all until, on friends advice. l started using Tanlac. That medicine is all right. It soon took away my rheumatism, and with that gone I began to improve in every way, and now I am healthy once more. I eat well, sleep well, have more strength and energy and I am able to do more and better work. Tanlac has certain 1y been good friend to me"
 Tanlac is being now introduced at Smiths Rx. Store, POS Main Street. Tanniac may also be obtained in Jewett City at Germans Drug Store, Col chester as Otis Pharmacy.

LETTERS TO THE EcITOR
Irresponsible Solicitors.

MT. Editor:-yyilI you permit me through the columns of your paper to warn the people of Norwich against giving to irresponsible individuals for the starving people of Turkey. There is need enough of giving, as many poor creatures are dying daily for want of food; but do not give to any stranger who asks you to entr5st your gifts to him. No matter what papers he may show you, CT by whom given. You may make up your mind without the slightest hesitation that the solic- itor is a fraud. Money given to him will never go where you wish to have it go.

Tbey contrive to get an introductory paper from their Metropolitan, or from some high official of their church and on the strength of that, the names of men of standing in church and state in this country.

STORIES OF THE WAR
Bulgaria Has a Bread Line, Too.

That the food problem in Bulgaria is a very serious one is declared by Dr. E. E. Count, Superintendent of the Methodist work for BnlgarianS, with headquarters at Sofia. He has just come to the United States on leave of absence.
 "Ticles for bread, sugar, rice and various other articles are issued to the people," says Dr. Count. When it was announced that certain food would be distributed on a certain day, I have known people to get up at 2 o'clock in the morning to secure the supply allotted to them. They stand in long line, three, four, or even five hours, so that they may receive their small measure of food before the quantity is exhausted. Sometimes go home empty handed.
 Prices are steadily rising in sn.te of the governments attempt to 1t,- trol them. When the government price of sugar was eighteen cents a pound, have known 1t to be sold by interruptions persons at the rate of eighty cents or a dollar a pound. war, for s1.2o to $f{6 per yard. is now as high as ss.4o to ss.se a yard
