dover News)

There must be something In the
occupation Of n Sheriff that tends to
prolong life. Considering that sher-
lffs, when elected, are usually about
middle life, It Is remarkable that Ma
son county has, including the pres
ent sheriff, nine ex-High sheriffs still
living. With the exception of ex-
sheriff Perry Jefferson, who lives In
Carlisle, they are all still residents
OF Mason county.
Following Is a list Of ex-sheriifs of
Mason county still living: Perry
Jefferson, J. G. Pickett, Dan Perrine,
Chan Jefferson, Sam Perrine, James
Robertson, James Mackey, W. H. Mack
oy, and the present sheriff, John
Clarke. Some one has suggested the
quotation, "the good die young" but
this cannot be the case as every man
Of them ranks with the very best citi-
zens Of the county and state.

MRS. YELLMAN PUTS 100000
BONDS IN HANDS OF ONE MAN

From the Rock Island, ILL.,, Argus OF
Juno 9th:
Mrs. W. l.. Yellman, 3S1 Twent-third
street, started out today to do her bit
in promoting the sale of Liberty bonds
in Rock Island. She is a member OF
the Woman's Club civic department
committee on the sale of the bonds.
She wants to see the city come to the
scratch and more than make good on
its $1,OOO,OOO allotment.
Among the business men she called
upon this afternoon is Frank P. Welch,
president of the Illinois Oil company.
At first Mr.. WEIGH wrote down $1O,-
900.
1.-THE Liberty bond is a pretty good
investment Mr.. WEIGH said. "Be-
sides it gives one good and safe re-
turn on his money; in the bargain It
affords us fellows who are unavailable
for the fighting line an opportunity to
do something that will be equally as
effective in winning the war. Give me
a new blank. believe I'll raise that
amount"
Whereupon Mr.. WEIGH applied for
100000 of the Liberty bonds.
Mrs. Yellman feels that she put in
a pretty good day.

FELL OVER BANK

A team of horses fell over the bank
into the ravine which forms part of
the lots belonging to the Cochran es-
tate below Commerce street about $3.50
o'clock this morning. We could not
learn the name of the driver. A load
of dirt had just been dumped into the
ravine when the horses began to slide.
They were unable to keep their feet
and rolled over several time before
triking the foot of the incline. No one
hurt.

BUSINESSMEN

WASHINGTON, ID. c., July IL.
Big business, struck by Presi-
dent Wilson's patriotism and pro-
fits pronunciamenot, countered to-
day with the plea of high cost Of
labor.
Some of these men are on COM
mittees of the council Of national
defense.
President Wilson dashed those
who take blood money out OF the
war and castigated those who
plead for unusual profit margins
to stimulate production.
He pointed out ship owners OF
the nation, who, he said, are do
ing their utmost thru exorbitant
rates to make success against Ger
many almost a failure.
To all of which big business to-
day complained that labor is get
ting such a tremendous share of
money nowadays that more profits
are required to meet that drain, as
we'll as others.
The big business folk immedi-
ately declared taht a maximum
price for labor must be set up il
the price of other commodities.
This will insure reasonable pro-
fits and will be based on the ex-
panding needs of this vital and
fundamental industry.

a statement like that becomes
personal plea with these fellow

(rhis Ii the second install
ment OF n review Of the
statement of 4. Hart Mer-
graphical board May ~, en-
titled "Shall the Name of
Mount Rainier BE Chang
ed?")
In Dr. G. Hart Merriam's state
ment of facts concerning the
mountain name controversy is de-
voted to the citation of books, at
Eases. etc, that. published In this
state, give the mountain the name
Rainier, and much is made of the
fact that they do so.
At Washington we cited scores
of books, maps, aliases NOT pub
lished in this state--published the
world arouad. the most authorti-
tative in England which give the
mountain the name Tacoma. In
DR.. Merriam's Statement" no ref
erence is made to this well known
fact.
Ii was q years ago that the
u. S. board of geographic names
made the name Rainier official
and since then no other name has
been permitted on any u. S. gov
ernmentisgued map.
That the name Tacoma"
should persist, in spite of THAT
great fact, In the Encyclopedia
Britannica, the Century, Rand Me-
Nally (tS90D and the scores of
publications cited-is II not more
remarkable than that the off
cial" name should he accepted in
many cases in this state?
"Gencric Term"
Pages 6 and Z are devoted to
an argument of the old generic
term" bubble and If thought
It worth while or that it had any
thing to do with the fundamental
proposition-to take down the
name Rainier and substitute for II
another from proposals made at
the open hearing could show
you that the authorities here
quoted-taking them alone and
regardless of the able argument
made at the hearing by Judge
Wickersham-do by no means dis
pose of 1.-THE fa!!acy that Tacoma
is specific name" as DR.. Merriam
says it does.
4 And now DR.. Merriam makes a
personal plea to his associates on
the board
Lest | be accused of hostility
to aboriginal nomenclature" he
says, II beg permission to refer to
my personal record in the archives
of this board. Is it not well
known to every member of the
board that In cases of competitive
names of essentially equal claim
one aboriginal, the other mod
ern-the Indian name unless too
long or too hard to pronounce has
invariably received my support?'
Personal Plea.
In executive session with his
fellows of the board this would
appeal of course and-careless of
the whole matter as they (the
others) might be-they would
rather offend the remote people
of the state of Washington than
DR.. Merriam in their midst. Thus

Specialists in the u. S. Department

ing being possible until the first Of
August in the lower South. This
system, now widely used in the South
enables the utilization of land from
which early potatoes, cabbage, and
other crops have been taken.
Sweet potatoes are not expensive to
grow. The main limiting factor to the
production of vast quantities by this
plan IS labor Yields from fields set
with vine cuttings arc as large as
from plants grown from slips. This
method has the further advantage Of
preventing the transfer of diseases
which are carried on the tubers.
Inc South doesn't need to learn
how to grow sweet potatoes, the
specialists point out armers know
how to produce large yields of this
crop. But the farmer must be i'm
pressed with the necessity of increas-
ing his acreage of this crop, and then.
when harvest comes, to prevent the
enormous loss from improper hand
ling and storing. The best way to
keep sweet potatoes is to store them
IN well-ventilated storage houses, not
"dugouts." Storage houses should be
made ready as soon as possible. In
Farmers Bulletin 548, Storing and
marketing Sweet Potatoes instruct
ions for building such houses and for
converting old and unoccupied build
