Colonel II. A. Gardner, republican,
son in law of Senator Lodge. Colonel
Gardner retired from the house to
take his place in the army during the
war period. In the fourth Connecti-
cut a successor will be chosen to the
late Ebenezer Hill, who passed away
on the closing days of the special ses
sion. The vacancy in the twenty
eighth Pennsylvania has existed since
the resignation of Representative
elect Blakely last winter following
the discovery that he had spent more
money in his campaign than the law
permits.
There is, of course, interest in many
city elections which will be held, but
in only one. New York, has an effort
been made to inject national issues.
There, a four-cornered struggle is in
progress. Admittedly the great sur
prise in the developments to date has
been the strength displayed by the
socialist candidate Morris Hillquist.
Political experts here are watching
with deep interest developments in
Wisconsin, where the accidental
death of Senator Husting has created
a vacancy which the authorities say
must be filled by a special election.
| II is accepted here that the primaries
Will not be called for a month at least
and that the election will not take
place until winter. However, because
of the part which Senator Robert M.
LaF'ollette is taking in connection
with the criticism of the manner in
which the war is being conducted, it
is accepted here that national issues
will play real part in this fight. La
Toilette, his friends here say, will
have a candidate in the primaries and
he will be opposed by the element in
the Republican party which has
steadfastly supported the president in
every way. The Democrats will sup
port a candidate pledged TO uphold the
Wilson policies.

Election Attracts
Little Attention
National Issues Not Reflected In The
Contest On The Sixth OF November
Real Off Year.
BY John Edwin Nevin,
q. n. S. Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Oct. 24-National
issues will not be reflected in the
coming election this year. Local
questions only are involved. The big
war problems, in their relation to po-
litical parties still are in a formula
tive stage. Efforts to make them
part of the contest have failed utter
ly. The time since the entry of the
nation into the war and the compile
ton of the work of the special session
of the war program, has been too
short to allow candidates to take any
positive position on war matters. The
nation still rings with the slogan of
STAND by the president" and that
slogan expresses the position and the
sentiment of the people everywhere.
This is a real off year anyhow, so
far as elections are concerned. Gov
ernors are to be chosen in four
states, Virginia, Massachusetts, Texas
and Georgia. In the first two the
campaign is apathetic. In Georgia
and Texas it is even worse as the re-
suit is accepted as certain.
In Virginia the republicans have a
candidate for governor who is making
an energetic campaign for the first
time in the history of the party in the
Old Dominion and is trying to rally
/ to his banner the ultra-prohibition-
lists on the ground that Westmorelanc
Davis, the democratic candidate, al
| heart is wet" But the election o.
Davis by the usual plurality is GER
tain.
There will be three congressional
candidates elected, in the sixth Mas
sachusetts district, the fourth Con
necticut and the twenty-eighth Penn
| sylyania. In the Massachusetts th'
successful candidate will replac'

Y. M. C. A, NOTES

Payette's quoto in the Army Y.
NJ. c. a. Drive was 500, but the
liberal people sent the hand up to
$3.50 Payotte County was asked for
$1,000. Fruitland and New Plymouth
both exceeded their quote, bringing
the county Up close to $167O, and
some more to be reported. The state
was asked for s85,OOO and it went
to $115,0 600. Last report the nation
was asked fer S35 ,OOO, 600 and the
figures are over S49, 900 900.
The local Y was seemingly visit
ed by a thief. Money in small
amount was taken from basement
locker room, some Of the lockers
had the tops raised off by removing
bolts; tennis shoes belonging to
one of the ladies class, and ping
pong balls numbering two dozen were
taken. Doors had been opened which
were locked by the secretary, to
which ordinary latch keys do not
fit. 1t is thot that this could most
ly be accomplished after closing
time by some one who knew the
ropes, the building, and possibly en-.
tering thru basement windows.

WRITE TO
SOLDIER BOYS

A letter received from Edwin Perry
at Camp Mills, New York, states the
boys are all well and feeling fine
hut letters from home are not as
frequent as they should be. 1t is
quite likely that some 70 the let
tors sent to the boys are miss di-
rected or from some other reason
DE- not reach them. 1t is a small
matter to write a letter, and the
people at home should not over
lock the importance of writing Of
ten. If you do not have a relative
in camp, write to some enc whom
you know. Just remember that many
of these young men may never have
teen away from home for any length
of time and good cheerful letter
from a friend win be much appre-
ciated.

EAT APPLIES
A GOOD SLOGAN

Eat Apples" should be the slogan
for this community. They are so
common with the people here at
home that they are seldom on the
table. We are vitally interested in
advocating the use OF apples In
place of other food, and yet We
are not putting it in practice. The
fact should not be overlooked that
many transcients visit Payette every
day who would much appreciate a
good baked apple. All Hotel and
eating houses should have apples
on the table every day; not only TO
please the patrons, but it is a good
advertisement. A large percent OF
the hotel patrons are from the east.

an opportunity of showing the quality

see that the dining cars on the U
p. System are furnished with Pay

donated. Every merchant should keeF
his show window well decorated with
apples so that every visitor might

Mazalo Oil, new shortening, Is
now being advertised and highly
recommended by Mr.. Hoover, Food
Administrator. 1t is a product from
the germ of common field corn and
takes the place of animal fat in
every way and is much cheaper. A
demonstration of its use in every
way is being given at the Canyon
Commercial Co. this week. Drop In
and try a sample of doughnuts and
other eatables made from its use,

NOTES
Farm Machinery.

Farm Machinery.
Each month finds an increasing
amount of U. S. iron and steel be-
! ing shipped abroad for war pur-
poses. Many trainloads OF barbed
wire have been shipped from Pacific
coast ports in addition to Atlantic
Coast shipments. Hence all farm
machinery must continue to rise in
price and every man that plans to
! buy additional farm tco's or fenc-
ing had better get busy soon. And
| it may not be out of place to re-
mind you that paint and grease Will
help conserve your farm tools, -
paint for steel and wood work, axle
grease for mould boards and pow
shares. Cement and lumber viii be
needed for new siios next season.
And for that new apple storage
house you plan to build next sum-
mer-lumber is available now and
it may not be next summer.
Town Cows.
1t is estimated that the COW kept
in town will cat before spring, 2 IL
tons hay, at $500 per ton or $3.50,
one ton of straw at S. per ton, half
ton mangeIs at IS per ton or 81,
or food to the value of about S46.5O.
If mangeLs are net available rolled
oats or crushed barley will have to-
be substituted at increased expense.
Thus from $4,000 to $500 will be
needed for feed and COW owners
should be certain that the milk
contains enough butter fat to pay
the bill. Test your cows and know
what the milk contains.
WheatIess Eggs.
Various wheatless rationS have
been worked out by poultrymen in
an attempt to Hooverize the, farm !
yard hen. Oats and barley are the
principal substitutes. However two
will be found necessary in
whatever program one adopts hens
must have protein and they must
be made to exercise Get protein (the /
white of the egg is largely proteint /
from meat scrap, jack rabbits or
skim milk made into cottage cheese.
Max hens exercise by putting down
a thick carpet of straw in an open
shea in which the grain feeds are
scattered. The more scratching the
more feed and this exercise keeps
hens healthy and free from roup

Thursday night witnessed the
largest crowd at the Emma Thea

shown at that place. 1t was largely
due to a former Payette girl hay-
ing an active part in the play. Miss
Arma Jacobsen, who left Payette
less than year ago to take up
the work as a movie actress, was
the star in the play and her many
friends were anxious to see her on

appointed. She played her part We'll
