care of Capt. Hasty since coming to

Monday morning he was securely tied
up at Capt Hasty's residence. He
was allowed his liberty Tuesday morn
ing and Immediately proceeded to the
Armory at town hall where he imme-
diately annexed himself to the. re-
cruiting party. The little dog is quick
to recognize any part of the soldiers
uniform and is never so much at ease
as when in the company Of the uni
formed men. Dexter has a habit of
belligerency which has caused him to
be the under dog in many combats
here recently as he instantly takes Of
fence if any other dog approaches the
soldiers. For this and other reasons
Capt. Hasty decided that he should re-
main at home but as he is prime
favorite with the boys of the company
it wouldn't be surprising If he showed
up at Kennebunk before many moons.

Here are few questions that suf-
fragists will be glad to have the people
think over:
II a widow or an unmarried woman
fails to pay her taxes, is the property
OF a male relative or Of the man next
door sold to satisfy the debt of the
State?
If woman steals from her employ-
er, does her father, husband, brother
or son serve out her term in prison?
II a woman FORCES check, does her
father, her husband, her employer. go
to Jail for felony?
IL woman is responsible for an ac

tracts, If she ISLANDERS hep neighbors.
Is any man arrested, sued bound over
to keep the peace?
If woman kills somebody what
man represents her at the prisoners
dock during the trial? What man rem.
resents her in the electric chair If she
is convicted?
Why IS it tEat the only place in the
world where man wants to represent
woman Is at the ballot box?
Dix reasons that Amelia Macdonald
cutter gives why farmers wives
should vote are these:
Because the farmers wife IL the

Because she is vitality affected nv the

city can investigate farm produce and
drastically enforce farm laws.
Because she is deeply concerned IN

farmers wife who suffers.
Because by her work on the farm,
she helps to pay road taxes, and she
should be allowed to vote on where

Because experience in the granpes

interests.
Because the votes Of the farm WON

Delco-Light
Expert Arrives

F. j.. .Winkler who has secured
the Dawson County agency for the
Delco Lighting System, has engag-
ed the services of an expert cleo
trician and salesman, Mr.. W. B.
Larmore, who arrived here this
week from Denver, Colo.
Mr.. Larmore has been employed
by the Delco people for a number
of years, being connected with the
factory distributing agency at
Denver, Colo. A demonstration
machine will be here pretty soon.
The Delco Lighting system is a
small electric light plant which
consists of an engine, generator,
switchboard and set of batteries.
They have proven to be fine
thing for lighting stores n d
homes. Out on the farm or ranch
they are very useful as these
plants can furnish power to pump
water, churn, run the separator
and all kinds of light work. See
ad elsewhere.

Marvin LimeSand
Has Close Call
80 Caliber Revolver Accidently Dis
charged. Bullet Enters Right
Arm At Elbow Lodges In Shoulder

Marvin Limesand, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. L. A. Limmesand residing
east of town, had a close call last
Monday when a 38 caliber revolver
was accidently discharged, the
bullet entering his right arm at
the elbow and following the entire
length of his arm lodged next to
the skin at the shoulder, not touch
ing a bone.
Albert Harms and Mr.. Limme-
sand had driven up to the old Dick
Kerr ranch and Mr.. Harms had
taken his revolver along. On the
way over Harms had stuck tn e
gun into a coat belonging to Mar
vim that was lying in the wagon
box. Arriving at the ranch Mar
vim pulled the coat out of the
wagon, the revolver dropped out
on the ground and being loaded
went off with the above results.
When Mr.. Harms heard the re-
port of the shot he asked Marvin
what he was shooting at and he
replied that the revolver had dis
charged accidently, and not until
a few minutes later when he no
ticed blood coming down his arm
did he realize that the bullet had
struck him,as he neverfelt a thing.
He was brought to Circle imme-
diately and the bullet was remov-
ed by DR.. Koehler. 1t was thought
necessary to send him to a hospi-
tai at first, but he is now progress
ing as nicely as can be expected.

that you do will be watched with
the deepest interest and with the
deepest solicitude, not only by
those who are near and dear to
you, but by the whole nation be-

Americans felt themselves to be
when we first made good our ma

all the world will be upon you, be-
cause you are in some special
sense the soldiers of freedom. Let
it be your pride, therefore, to show
all men everywhere not only what
good soldiers you are but also what
good men you are, keeping your
self fit and straight in everything
and pure and clean thru and thru.
Let us set for ourselves a standard
so high that it will be a glory to
live up to it and then let us live
up to it and add a new laurel to
the crown of America. My affec-

Hold Your Wheat

All farmers having wheat to sell
should try and hold it, so as to
sell it at the Circle flour mill.
The mill will be in a position to
buy wheat by the latter part of
October and it will pay you to
wait until then so as to save the
long hauls. The price no doubt
will be so high that it will be to
your advantage to sell here.
The mill wants hard wheat for
grinding purposes, so if you haul
any wheat to the railroad markets
sell your durum first.
