How To Save Ten
To Fifteen Thousand Dollars

MI EullOI-
The instructions of the Attorney
General relating to Primary Elections
state that Where there is but one
qualified candidate for certain
nomination. one set of candidates Tor
members of a party committee or
delegation to convention, he or
they shall become entitled to GER
tificate of nomination, or election, and
his or their name or names shall not
go on the ballot"
AS Mr.. Price is the only candidate
for Congress on the Democratic SIDE,
he is unopposed, and his name Will
not appear on the ticket to be voted
in the primaries, which are called for
Sept. 9th On the Republican side
there appears to be two candidates.,
Messrs. Andrews and Ward, ana 1T
would seem that these gentlemen, or
their friends, could arrange Tor one
of them to retire from the contest.
and thus avoid holding the primary,
and save the cost of the same i'll nine
counties. which will total from ten
to fifteen thousand dollars. The Re
publican leaders must see that Ii is
most unreasonable to pay out this
large amount in order to ascertain
whether Mr.. Andrews name or Mr..
Wards shall be on the ticket. and
we are confident that they can az
range some means to avoid the COLI
| test
If they should do this, their action
would be hailed as a patriotic per
Torrance. which would probably
strengthen their party in the coming
contest. Let the press and the pub
lie get busy on the question and put
it over. Respectfully,

SAVE SWEET POTATO CROP

Storage in Weti-Built House is I'm
portant Food Conser cation Meas
ure.
Washington, ID. c., Aug. 27.--Thc
proper storage of sweet potatoes is
one of the most important fuGd con-
! servation measures that can =, put
| into effect in he Southern States, nc
Icording to United States Department
of Agriculture officials. No IRISH
able product produced in the ScIIh
| is of as great Importance as the
sweet potato and none, as rule, is
so poorly haudled. 1C keep this
crop in good condition the potatoes
must be we'll matured before digging,
carefully handled, well dii led or cur
ed after being put in the storage
! house, and KEEP. at uniform tenipera-
ture after they are cured. The only
safe and practical method o. stCr;ug
sweet potatoes is in i wnll-built, up
! to-date storage house Suggestions
!
on storing sweet potatoes, and de-
tailed information on how 20 con-
struct d suitable storage house, are
contained in Farmers Bulletin 97h,
recently published by the United
States department of Agriculture.
The grower can judge when his
sweet potatoes are ripe by breaking
or cutting one of them, and leaving
it exposed to the air for a few min
utes. The cut or broken surface
dries if it is mature, but the surface
remains moist if it is not ready to be
dug. However, in regions where
early frosts occur the potatoes should
be dug about the time the first frost
is expected, regardless of their stage
of maturity.
The second essential, careful ham
ding, should be observed in digging,
gathering, hauling and unloading.
Sweet potatoes should be sorted in
the field and gathered in padded bas'
kets or boxes to prevent bruising or
breaking the skin. The baskets or
| boxes should be loaded on the wagon.
hauled to the storage house, and the
potatoes carefully placed in the bins.
When they are to be hauled very far.
wagon with bolster springs should
be used. Sweet potatoes should new
er be thrown from one row to anoth-
| er, loaded loosely into wagon body,
or hauled in bags, because anyone of
these practices will bruise them and
afford an opportunity for disease to
enter.
The third and fourth essentials,
thorough drying and uniform tenn
perature, may be secured in stor-
age house where artificial heat can
! be supplied. The house must be
constructed in such a way that it
can be thoroughly ventilated when
necessary, and yet be made nearly
air-tight in cold weather.
1t is good economy to build a sub
stantial sweet-potato storage house,
because it will last longer and re-
quire less attention than a cheap,
poorly constructed one. 1t would be
possible to keep the potatoes in a
cheaper and less carefully construc-
ted house, but the attention required
and the additional fuel used would
soon exceed the cost of the extra la
Dor and material necessary for build
ing the better enc. The chances of
loss are much greater in poorly
built than in a well-built house

Be Patriotic and Have
Your Rheumatism Cured!

There's a combination that ord1-
narily wouldn't occur to a sufferer
even after he had tried all the rene
dies prescribed by loving friends.
And yet it worked in the case of
Fred P. Stafford, of Briarcliff. NY.
Mr.. Stafford recently returned from
service with the American Expedi-
tionary Forces in France, where he
was a member of the motor trans
port service of the Y. M. c. A. He
thus tersely presents the following
testimonial to the efficacy of the
cure"
The work of the drivers has a
kick in it. Much of it is done at
night without lights, and the nerve
and ingenuity of the drivers are tax
ed to the limit I've been caught in
shell fire and gas attacks, but drove
out all right. The thrill fingers,
however. The work is absolutely
healthy. With three good meals a
day and plenty of sleep men get in
wonderfully good condition within
short time. During last winter | was

There is no great novelty about the

Truly characteristic of Russian life
and literature as "Les Frercs Kara
mazov" is, with its pathos, darkness,
pcrversity and horrors, in its moral
elevation and illumination Of the sub
tcrranean world of the conscience it is
truly cosmopolitan. The chief qualifi-
cation Of the dramatist in the time of
Shakespeare was the ability to hold
the mirror up to nature, capacity for
perceiving, for enjoying and for repro
ducing facts, and facts of as great
variety Us possible. The facts were
those OF human passion and activity.
At the present time the dramatist must
have doctrine or q revelation or an
Interpretation. The real interest of
Les Frercs Karamazov," however grip
ping the material emotions which it
evokes, lies far below the surface in
Dostoievski's analysis OF "thc sickness
Of the soul"
TilE force of all arguments against
H. the dvamatizaton OF novels
amounts to nothing more than protest
against the weakening and vulgariza-
ton OF the originals. If new work OF
high artistic merit is wrought the OBJ
Jectlons fall to pieces. Shakespeare
borrowed the plots Of almost all OF
MS plays, but in every case the sumo
rioiity OF his work to the sources was
unreasonable. In fact, the greatest
plays OF the worlds literature are
BASED on cosmic themes. 1t is too
Mach TO require Of the dramatist that
ne snail create IN every case Il universal
truth as we'll as its dramatic mould.
Although so many Russian novels
have whole scenes consisting entirely
Of dialogue with the swift movement
OF dramatic composition, the dramatic
literature of Russia does not possess
single aboriginal masterpiece. Tho
most representative plays Of Russian
drama extant are probably Bataillc's
adaptation Of Tolstoy's "Resurrection.v
and Copeau's and Crouc's lies Freres
karamaZov." A number of adaptations
Of "The Karamazov Brothers" had been
made in Russia before Copcau under
took to- try his hand. They were
scarcely more, however, than successive
