American Sailor Tells Irishman Ship Decks
 Are Red From Speed Heat

Base American Flotilla in British Wa sers. October 30.-(By Mail)-When the American destroyers arrived at this Irish port the natives were puzzled by the ap- pearance of their steel decks which were painted bright red. So when the first American came ashore, an Irishman made bold to ask, What makes your decks so red?'
 'Why, they're red hot from the speed we made coming over,' was the quick reply. The story has become one of the pet yarns of this port.

The lots have been planned by d landscape gardener and the homes of the workmen are of con- crete, artistic in their design and con struction. Each house has it's own lawr and garden and it is equipped with all modern sanitary conveniences.
 The city of Duluth has now more than 100000 population. When I visited it generation ago I saw real estate signs far out in the water, offering the space about as valuable lots. The people seemed to me to be crazy, but today that water is covered with wharves and docks and the city has extended out over the flats. It has hundreds of acres covered with landing and shipping facilities for grain, coal and ore. It has great eleva- tors which will load a steamer within a few hours, and it's wharfage arrange ments are among the wonders of the in- dustrial world.

POLITICAL POT
 BEGINS TO BOIL
Many Aspirants for County Office, are Already Making Their Wants. Known and Healthy Crop of Can didates from This County Will No Doubt Be Forthcoming.

The Political Pot is beginning to boil in Hot Spring county, and every day one hears of some candidate for some office, although the primary does not take place until next May. However the old adage, that the early bird catches the worm, is good one, and evidently believed by many.
 As all officers with the exception of Circuit Clerk, are serving their second terms, there will be several contests for the different offices.
 While few have formerly announced yet many have announced the fact to their friends, and are threatening to make formal announcement at any time.
 During the past week, we have heard of many who will seek the Dem- oeratic nomination next Spring, aad among those whom their friends state are positive candidates, are the follow ing:
 For Sheriff: Walter Weaver, D. $. Bray, Fred Harkins, and E. E. (Billy) Nunn, of Malvern; Ex-Cireuit Clerk Joe Lucy, of Withersroon; Will Me Gowan, of Donaldson: Tom Fisher, of Friendship; Lee Baker of Malvern; Rs'bt. Parker, of Harrison township and Will Richardson, of Lone Hill.
 For County Judge: J. M Caldwell, of Malvern who has already announced County Clerk J. Bruce Collie and sher. if .E. Stanley, of Malvern and Ghar- lie Berry, of Donaldson.
 For County Clerk: County Assessor Hershael Smith, and County treasurer L. r. Gas'1. of Malvern; 9amesI Men gomery, of Upper Prairie; and Ira Carter, of Lower Prairie.
 For G;-cuit Clerk, ko.' R. Cham berlain, who is running TOT the sec .rd term, will lave no opposition.
 For Tax Assessor: WnI. (Bud) Johr- son of Malvern. It k vesy probable that MT. Johnson will nave no opposi l tion, at feast we have been unable 10 learn of any other candidate for this position.
 For County Treasurer: Wm. Murry, E. E. Blakely, Louis Collie of Malvern; and Lester Knight of Friendship.
 For Representative J. c. Belote, of Malvern; Felix Smith of DeRoche.
 We have heard of no candidates so far for Coroner, but there will be plen- ty, no doubt.
 For Justice of the Peace: D. M. No ble and Prof. s. E. Sterling will be candidates to succeed themselves, and we have heard of no opposition.
 Not only will the County races be interesting but we have heard of some interesting District races to be staged  also.
 In the race of Circuit Judge, Prose cutting Attorney D. D. Glover of this city has already formerly announced in all papers in the District, and Hon. J. c. Ross, of this city is an avowed candidate. Friends of Judge w. H. Evans, say he has not made up his mind whether he will be a candidate for reelection or not.
 For Prosecuting Attorney; Jabez Smith and Oscar Barnett, of Malvern are being mentioned as candidates, and W. A. Utley, of Benton, has an- nounced for the position.

FURNISH ONE HUNDRED
Villas County's Allotment
for Draft-Several Coun-
ties Have Excess.

Villas county must furnish one
hundred additional recruits
according to late announcement:
The following has been issued
from Madison:
Madison, Wis, June 19.-
Counties already having an en-
listment in the regular army
since April 1 in excess of the al
Iotment under the draft, will not
be compelled to furnish addition
al recruits under the draft. This
was the statement OF AdJutant
General Orlando Holway today.
There are a number of counties
in the state, which already have
furnished more men than would
be required under the draft.
Wisconsin's quota under the
draft is 1920. This is the
quota to fill up the army, the
national guard and the first
draft of 100000 men. The first
draft to be made by the national
government will be to fill up the
army and the national guard.
1t is not expected this draft will
hit Wisconsin as this state will
already have subscribed a full
quota under the national guard
when completed. When the ma
tional guard enlistment is COM
pleted, Wisconsin will have
21,5OO men which includes the
six regiments, cavalry and other
organizations. When you add
to Wisconsin's quota of 81, 500
national guard. the men who
have enlisted in the regular
army since April 1, the total
will be about $4,000. Wiscon-
sins quota under the proposed
draft of 100000 men will make
it 33, 29O. This will leave Wis
consin to furnish about 5000
men under the second draft.
The first draft is to fill up the
national guard and the regular
army. The navy is not consid-
cred in this call at all. The coun-
ties that will not have to furnish
men under the first draft, accord
ing to Adjutant General Hol-
way, because these counties have
already furnished sufficient men
for their military organization
to make up the number required
under the first draft, are: Ash
land, Forest, Green, Pepin and
Sawyer.
The following additional men
to those already enlisted must
be furnished in the following
counties:
