Mr.. Powers, has handed to us
for publication his announcement
for Congress for the August 1918
primary, and it appears in this
issue of the Advocate. The Ed
tier Of the Advocate has sup
ported Mr.. Powers for more
twenty years, both with money,
his vote, and whatever influence
he had. The Advocate has al
ways stood sqarsly behind him,
and we are getting old in bis SER
vice, and we feel that before we
die we would like 10 support
some other good Repu blican at
one time at least. We have
come to the conclusion that Mr..
Powers feel. that he owns the
Repub lican party, and will de-
mand that it keep MIN in Office
with a salary too Of about 10000 90
year, as long as he lives. We
shall be forced to quit some time
aud we have decided that now is
as lo0a time as any to quit. We
have said 10 MI Powers several
times that he ought 10 step aside
and not ride his friends to death,
and that the party had done
enough for him, and that we
could not cOnscientiously be for
him any more but with all, he
insists upon running. We think
that this early announcement
and his campaigning thru the
district this fall is done with
the sole purpose to bluff some
other good strong Republican in
the district. The Advocate car
not and will not support Mr.
Powers in this race. When Mr.
Powers was elected the second
time he stated that he would moi
be a candidate any more, and he
had the same talk the third anc
fourth time and now he has
made up his mind to disregard
the wishes of his friends, anC

In book of "reminiscences, Through

Blathwayt tells the following story in
connection with travelling menagerie
he attached himself to while knocking
about the West during his salad days.

says, II peeped in at the messroom
door. There was a full-grown tiger
licking the jam and bacon off the
plates.

moment after met Jack, the tigers
keeper.

GIRLS! MAKE A
BEAUTY LOTION
WITH LEMONS

At the cost of small jar of ordinary
cold cream one can prepare full quar-
ter pint of the most wonderful lemon
skin softener and complexion beautifier,
by squeezing the juice of two fresh
lemons into bottle containing three
ounces Of orchard white. Care should
be taken to strain the juice through a
fine cloth so no lemon pulp gets In,
then this lotion will keep fresh for
months. Every woman knows that lem
on juice is used to bleach and remove
such blemishes as freckles, sallowness
and tan and is the ideal skin softener,
smOothener and beautifier.
Just try it! Get three ounces Of
orchard white at any pharmacy and
two lemons from the grocer and make
up quarter pint of this sweetly frag-
rant lemon lotion and massage it daily
into the face, neck, arms and hands. It
should naturally help to whiten, soften,
freshen and bring out the roses and
beauty Of any skin. 1t is truly marvel
GUS to smoother rough, red hands. ADV.

GOSSIP OF BIG SERIES
Dope Indicates Giants and White
Sox Will Clash.
Both Teams Have Been In and Out ~
Lead and Are Expected to Meet
With More Opposition Be-
fore End of Season.

There Is many a slip twiXt the Aug
asst drive and the finishing tape in the
big leagues, but with the 16 teams In
the two majors settled down to what
appears to be their true levels, the
dope sheet indicates that the Giants
and White Sox will go to the mat in
October to decide who's who In the
worlds series.
The Giants and the Sox have al
ready had their ups and downs. They
have both been in and out of the lead,
and before the season ends they are
liable to find opposition stubborn but
they look like the clubs with the driv
ing power to go through. It's
good bet now that the "big series" will
be. fought out between them.
The bulldog character of the Giants
should carry them through. They
have the fighting spirit and the all
around class. They are consistently
hard for all rival clubs to beat, and
they have managed so far to take the
measure of the Phillies, their strong
est rivals.
The White Sox have speed and class,
and they have the smOOthest working
pitching staff in the American league.
Like the SOx of other days, their hit
ting has been weak, but they are
playing smart baseball. The critics
who predicted that the Red Sox pitch
ing. staff would find the going too
heavy evidently knew what they were
talking about, for Jack Barry's stuff,
consisting chiefly Of Leonard and
Ruth, is up against the real thing.
With two more pitchers like Ruth and
Leonard the Boston club would be liza
BILE to breeze in. But that's the rub
for Barry.
For the good of the game an East
West series for the purple and gold
gonfalOn this fall is badly needed, and
despite the war a series this fall be-
tween Eastern and Western teams will
probably be a recOrd-breaker in the
matter of interest and attendance, es-
pecially if it is played between New
York and Chicago teams.

FORMING THE COMPANY,

The company in line is formed in
double rank. The tallest men are
placed on the right and the others are
arranged, so far as. it is practicable,
In order Of height. The company is
formed at the sounding Of the assem-
bly," on the bugle. The first sergeant
takes position six PAGES in front of
where the center of the company is to
be. The first sergeant, next in COM
Imand to the second lieutenant, is the
only noncommissioned officer who
wears saber. AS he takes position,
he draws his saber and commands,
."FALL IN"
The right guide of the company, who
is usually senior sergeant, thereupon
places himself on the spot where the
right of the company is to rest. This
is abreast of the center of the COM
pany, which is itself six PAGES back
from the point where the first sergeant
has taken pQsition. The squads then
form in their proper places to the left,
successfully, of the right guide. Squads,

height. The falling in is superintend-
ed by the other sergeants, who then
take their posts.
Following the report" or roll call,
and inspection arms" conducted by
the first sergeant, if the company has
been formed by squads, the first SER
geant salutes the captain and reports,
"Sir, all present or accounted for" or
gives the name of the unauthorized abb
sentees, and, without command, takes
his post.
If the company has not been formed
by squads, the first sergeant effects
the division by the command, count

count off as in the school of the squad.

The Value of Human Milk

The value Of mothers milk to the
nation was expressed by an eminent
London physician in recent speech
at the London Mansion house. HUI
man milk, he said, was priceless, but
some notion might be formed of it's
economic value if we regarded it as
If it were cows milk, its most COM
mon substitute. In the year before
the war 1881, 800 infants were born In
England and Wales. The mothers of
these infants should have yielded, on
an average, two pints of milk day
for lactation period Of nine months,
which would amount to 22O,945 gal
Ions day, worth about IS cents gal
lon, more than $4,000 day, and over
$30,OO0,OO0 a year.
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1917-08-17

But when by this process the position
Of No. A in the front rank of squad is
established, the corporal assumes 1t,
exchanging whatever man it is neces-
sary to displace.
The captain, in advance Of receiving
the report of the first sergeant, places
himself IL PAGES in front of the center
of the company. He returns the salute
Of the first sergeant, and then draws
his saber. The lieutenants, taking
their posts behind the company, to the
rear Of the right and left guides, when
the first sergeant has reported, draw
their sabers with the captain.
The alignments of the company are
executed as prescribed in the school
of the squad. The guide, however, is
established instead Of being the flank
file. The rear-rank man of the flank
file keeps his head and eyes to the
front and covers his file leader.
The company executes the "halt,
rests, facings, steps and marchings,
manual of arms, loadings and firings,
takes intervals and distances and as
sembles, increases and diminishes in
tervals, resumes attention, obliques, re-
sumes the direct march and preserves
alignments," as set forth in the school
Of the soldier and the school of the
squad. The difference is that the
word company" is substituted in COM
mands for squad"
The practical value Of the instruc-
ton and training which the new sol
der receives in the school Of the
squad now begins to dawn upon him.

REPARTEE BY ONE JOE BENZ
White Sox Pitcher Tells of Funniest
Remark He Ever Heard While
on Ball Field.

Joe Benz, White Sox pitcher, says
that one of the funniest remarks he
ever heard on ball field was spoken
while he was at bat.
There was a runner on second, and
as the game was a close one, Benz was
mighty anxious to drive him home The
first two balls were smack over the
plate and Benz took wallop at both
but didn't even foul.
The third seemed outside and Benz
stepped back. Billy Evans, who was
umpiring, yelled ''Three strikes; you're
out"
Benz truned around. "You missed
that one, Bill" he said.
Quick as a flash, Evans replied,
SWELL you have no kick coming; you
missed two"

How kaffirs Smoke

The Kafirs or natives of South Afri-
ca are inveterate smokers, but some
Of them indulge in the habit in dis
tinctly queer fashion. The 'pipe" is
made by thrusting two sticks into the
ground so as to meet at an angle;
when they are withdrawn two tunnels
are left behind. A hollow reed is
stuck in one hole, and the tobacco
placed in the other and lighted. Before
beginning operations the native fills
his mouth with water drawing in the
smoke with gurgling sound and blow.

CADY is TALLEST BACKSTOP
Considered by Many as Second Best
Catcher in American League
Outranked by Schalk.

Forrest Cady, who is the first string
catcher of the Boston Red Sox, is the
tallest man on the team, If this be an
honor. At present he is regarded as
born at Bishop, Ill.,, twenty-five years
ago and made his professional debut
with Indianapolis in 1908. He was sold
by Indianapolis in 1910 to Newark and
was with that team for two years, be-
ing sold to Boston in 1912, when that
club won the worlds championship
from the Giants.
Cady is considered one of the best
backstops in the American league, be-
ing outranked only by Schalk. He has
