the mother helps out by taking in
washing or now and then or going
out for a days work. She cannot
send her boy to a sanatorium where
she must pay for his care. so his
name has been put on the "waitins

As the days pass his health and
strength arc ebbing. But there Is
nothing for him to do but to wait.
Perhaps some one will die in the ov-

will be. discharged, then his name

But will he be submitted in time?

Democrats have promised to vote
for him. With this sort of backing,
the Martin men say they consider
| it foolish for any man to even con-
slider running against him.
Another object in the earlier op-
ening nk fha Third District campaign

have returned Judge Martin to Con-

Orleans need the ! saddle, and it
seems that the ! ambitious ones in
Judge Martins. district are anxious
to get the start in order to prepare
to make winning finish. No par
ticular candidate for governor. has
been suggested in the recent talk
that is going the rounds, but it is ap-
parent that some people think that
a Third District man would make
the best run, especially one that can
take the Progressives back to the
Democratic party with him.
The primary election law will be
made an important issue in the state
campaign, which will follow the op-
ening of the Third District fight.
That is as certain as anything can
possibly be in politics.. In fact, it is
already an issue, and it will be the
most serious charge made against
the organization Democrats.
The principal objection to the
primary election law is its coercive
features-that is, it is claimed that
the law was passed to force the Pro-
gressives to either go into the old
Republican party or sit on the anx-
ious seat and cool their heels in the
regular organization, while one
section Of the state fattens and
battens in its almost exclusive polit-
ical power.
Just where the responsibility for
the Objectionable primary law will
be placed is something to be develop
ed later, but that it will be placed
and will be a lively campaign issue is
certain.

Knitting Situation Set Forth
By General Manager Gibson

A great number of inquiries are
being received by the Red Cross
from women knitters throughout
the United States as to whether. they
should discontinue knitting.
The Red Gross, .thersforex desires
to place before the orlelf sof this
country its conception 81 the knit
ting situation. AS is we'll known it
is the policy of the Red Cross to
S Supplement-, so far as it has the pow
er, the efforts Of the Army and Ma
Wy in conserving the health and
comfort of our soldiers and sailors,
either in this country or abroad.
Sweaters and other knitted artI-
cles are designed primarily for
warmth. They certainly are not
ornamental Therefore it mus. fol-
low that when there is an almost
universal demand and other knitted
articles, the demand is a real one.
Such articles, therefore, can only be
classed as equipment, ,suppleemn-
tary though they may be, to that
furnished by the Army and Navy
And they undoubtedly constitute
equipment that will add greatly to
the health and comfort of our men
under conditions generally met with.
The Red Cross knows that the
soldiers and sailors want sweaters
and other knitted articles. These
goods can be obtained from the Red
Cross in single garments only upon
individual request or if in bulk, then
upon the request Of q commanding
officer. How great the need is, is
best evidenced by the fact that in
addition to the hundreds Of thou
sands Of knitted articles produced
by our Red Gross chapters in the
last few months We have been COM
PEELED to purchase $4,000 extra
sweaters alone to meet the interest
demand made upon " by our men
for them. We are sorry that we had
to do any purchasing at all because
we know how much the soldiers and
sailors of this country prefer the
sweaters and other articles knitted
by the women Of this country.
1t may be understood further that
in addition to the demands Of our
Army and Navy we have very urgent
demands from Commission abroad
for like articles for destitute civilian
men, women and chill
dren who, if not actually homeless,
are very scantily clad and usu-
ally without fuel, in this cold wea-
her, to warm their houses

MAYOR NAMES WOMAN
 FOR THE CITY BOARD

Another woman trustee was added to the Woodland (Cal.) Board at recent meeting of that body. She is Mrs. s. A. Huston, and was nominated by the mayor, Mrs. Lydia Law head filling the chair while the mayor made the nomination.
 For twenty-five years Mrs. Huston has been the editor of the Home Alliance, and during this time she has devoted her self to prohibition and equal suffrage. She is the second wo- man trustee on this board.
 In nominating her Mayor Wilcoxon paid her a fine trib- ute.
 q desire tonight to place in nomination as a city trustee, to fill the vacancy, one who for the past quarter of a century has labored assiduously, in sea- son and out of season for the moral betterment of our city" he said.
 "One who took a stand for right principles when to take such a stand meant to be jeered at and scorned by many of our citizens. Notwithstanding all this, the one I am to name had the fortitude to stand firm until victory was won.
 Madam President, about two years ago the voters of Woodland tried the experiment of placeing a woman on this board. Such an excellent and efficient officer has she made that it is no longer an experi- ment. Madam President, I be- lieve it is up to this board to go the voters one better. 1 take pleasure in nominating Mrs. s. A. Huston for the vacancy, and move her election. n."-Woman's Journal

MT. Oliver Gardner is yet quite busy delivering hay to the mill camps.
 The people on the Prairie, who depend on melting snow for their water supply, need not worry now for quite awhile at least.
 MT. J. D. Tannehill has a fine barn almost completed.
 Some of the homesteaders have tried in vain to break a road through the snow from the Prairie to Parks. Travel ing in any form has been inn possible since the recent snow storm.
 Several persons have waited until the snow fell to get in their supply of wood for the winter.
 Mrs. Jesse Shelby spent We'd nesday afternoon with Mrs. Eva B. Spofford.
 MT. P. M. Gilmore, who farmed the Hosteter place last year, expects to return to Gar land Prairie with a big farm tractor in the spring. MT. Gil more, working in the modern way, with modern machinery, is the kind of man we need to convert the raw land into beau tiful fields of grain and other produce.
 Miss Asa I. Spofford, the broncho rider of the Prairie, must feel a little shut in since the snow has stopped her ca reer as modern carnival rider.
 Miss Stella Perry finds home stealing quite a lonely under taking these winter days. k MT. Irvan Barnes expects to return to his mountain home in the spring with a farm trac- tor. People are wondering what will be the fate of his faithful burro team. But let us

HAS THE OATS BUT
 CAN'T GET THRESHER

MT. John Baumgartner of Spring Valley was in Williams Saturday and called at the News office to renew his sub- scription to the most progress i've and up-to-date paper in Co., conino county.
 MT. Baumgartner is one of the enthusiastic farmers in our county. He has more to base his enthusiasm on than most but the News cannot say that he is more enthusiastic. A number of men in this county who have not gotten very large results yet from agriculture are chock full of enthusiasm and have faith that the future will reward industry in the appli- cation of scientific farm meth OdS.
 MT. Baumgartner has what he believes is one of the best quarter sections of land in Co., conino county. About 13O acres of it is good blow land and the remaining 30 acres is rough pasture. MT. Baumgartner's farm has rich black soil which does not bake as some land does.
 He raises good crops of oats and barley and has now 2,000 bushels of oats in stack. The problem with him at present is to get it threshed and onto a high market. The market is here all right, but the thresh- ing machine must be gotten on- to the ground and that, MT. Baumgartner finds, is not so easily accomplished.
 In this matter of threshing there will have to be more CO., operation among the farmers than now exists. There will doubtless be much more grain threshed when threshing facil- ities become very much improv- ed and this can be done thru cooperation.
 One of MT. Baumgartner's neighbors has 4,0OO bushels of oats in stack and the News would very much like an ac- count of his farming opera tions.

 The farmers of the Prairie are delighted with the pros poets of abundant moisture to insure good crops for the coming year.
 MT. H. s. Perry assures us that he is going to make quite a truck farm of his lease on the canyon. He expects to raise many vegetables there that will not grow at this altitude.
 Quite a number of persons on the Prairie have been sick with colds.
 MT. Charlie Dornan, his dogs and pig are enjoying the winter days together around a roar ing fire.
 Since the snow has crusted, many persons will doubtless find pair of skis very useful in travelling.

 Austin, Tex, Jan. 29.-A bill which would permit women to vote in all Texas primaries was introduced in the senate today by Senator O. s. Lattimore, of Fort Worth.
 As the state constitution leaves to the legislature the de- cision as to how elections shall be held, the measure will need only a majority vote and it's sponsor says he believes it will carry.
