WILEY Z. JONES HERE
Candidate for Attorney Gen.
erai Spends Several Days
in the Valley

Hon. Wiley E. Jones, candi-
date for the nomination of attor-
ney general on the democratic
ticket, arrived here Saturday
evening from Phoenix. Later in
the evening he made a splen-
did address at the city park, in
which he went into details de-
scriptive of the work of the
attorney general and what he
has accomplished IN enforcing
the prohibition law, and the good
results obtained by his ruling in
favor of the 6 per cent farm
loans, under which $3.50, 600 has
been loaned to the farmers of
the State.
Sunday afternoon, Mr.. Jones
was a visitor at the quarterly
conference of the St. Joseph
Stake, at Thatcher, and was in
vited to make a war talk.
Mr.. Jones spent Monday and
Tuesday visiting old friends here
and in the valley, leaving for
Globe on Tuesday afternoons s
train.
Owing to his duties as attor-
ney general, Mr.. Jones will not
be able to make an extended
campaign, and in fact. he did
not expect that in these war
times. any candidate for a nomi-
nation in the primary election
would make campaign through
out the State.
Wiley is looking good and is in
splendid health. He has no
trouble in making a vigorous and
convincing talk on any subject,
and particularly in regard to his
record as attorney general of this
State, which is a good one and
will survive anything that will
be said against it by his op-
pOnents.

IS WITH T||E
BRITISH At FRONT
Don Doty, son of Mr.. and Mrs. F. M.
DOty of This City, With British
Flying Corps in Thick Of
Action.
WROTE LETTER HOME MARCH !.
Letter is Indefinite, but Indications
are he is in Present Big
Drive.

That Don Doty, a member OF the
British Flying Corps, is very near the
first line positions on the west front
is known to certainty from letter
received here a few days ago by his
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. F. M. Doty, in
which he said he was within ten miles
Of the front line and had been as nea:
as six miles. The missive was written
March and in figuring out just where
the lad was when writing, his parents
have come to the conclusion that it
was at one of the French towns
which has figured prominently in the
recent battles on the western front.
Those interested in Don have been
uncertain of late as to where the
young aviator was, thinking at times
that he might be in England and again
coming to the conclusion that he wa
nearer the scene Of battle. Although
it is somewhat disheartening to know
the lad is in the thick of it, still his
parents are glad to know just about
where he is. Don is in the danger
zone, it would seem. He is brave
though, and courageous and true to
his country's flag. What more can be
asked?

is not for partisanship, bipartisanship

ter would be ideal. It is for the re-
alization and practical aim of loyalty
first. OF all the statements Of war
aims it likes that of M. Clemenceau
best, and M. Clemenceau's war aim is
Victory"
If Lenroot and the republican party
of Wisconsin can contribute to the
national morale and victory by win
ming or losing, excellent. If Davies
and the democratic party Of Wiscon-
sin will consent to contribute to the
national morale by withdrawing their
partisan ambitions, excellent. The
whole country would be inspired by
an example of united Americanism in
Wisconsin. That is all.

Extensive RedecOrating of the Eng.
lish Lutheran Church Started.
-Refinish Woodwork,
Floors and Walls
ALL LABOR TO BE DONATED.
Nearly $1,000 in Cash will be SPENT
Oscar Larson Doing
Decorating.

The redecorating of the interior OF
the English Lutheran church was be.
gun today.
Plans for the work include the
frescoing of the auditorium and base
ment, as we'll as the refinishing OF
all wood work and floors. The dec
Grating is being done by Oscar Lar
son.
The walls of the auditorium will
be finished in shades of apple green
and the dome and wall panels will
be outlined in gold leaf. The painted
easements will be grained and given
an oak finish. In addition, the carpet
on the floor of the main auditorium
will be removed and the wood yDolish-
ed in preparation for the use of aisle
runners only.
With the decorations complete, it
is believed that no more beautiful
little church will be found in this
district. One of the finest incidents
in the working out of the renovating
plans, was the way the parish met
the expense of the movement, which
will be nearly $1,000. This sum was
raised in less than a single week
among the church goers and all the
services of the workmen employed
will be donated.
Church services during the next
three weeks will be held, first in the
basement and then in the auditorium
as the work nears completion. Rev,
j. NJ. Herbst is pastor of this church,
whose congregation and membership
is rapidly growing in numbers and
interest.

The Folks Need Not Worry.

Captain Archie Roosevelt, son of the
ex-president, was well on the road to
recovery from wounds received from
a shrapnel shell, when a correspon-
dent saw him in the Red Cross hos
pital in France. Said he:
"The Red Cross is doing everything
possible for us. If our folks could sec
the way we are being taken care OF
they would stop worrying"
Trom the time young man is sworn
into the service, the Red Cross begins
it's helpful attentions and this does not
stop until he is discharged from the
army or navy. His dependents are
looked after while he is at the front
and if he is captured by the enemy he
is sent food through Switzerland So
that he will not go hungry in a Ger
man prison camp.
The cumulative proof of Red Cross
utility undoubtedly will cause the
American people to astonish the world
by their support of it in the forth
coming campaign to replenish the
treasury.

Why Polish SilyerWare?

1t takes too much time and re-
moves too much silver to polish silver
ware. Experiments and practice have
shown that if silver is cleaned in the
following way, none of the metal is
removed and results are obtained
more quickly than if subjected to the
old-fashioned hand polishing method.
Lay the silver in an enameled or
other dish pan, covered with boiling
water and then add teaspoonful OF
salt and I teaspoonful of soda. If there
is a good deal of silver, use two tea
spoonfuls of each. In a few seconds
the silver will be bright and clean
Then it should be removed and thoro
ly rinsed and dried. This method is
recommended by the home economics
experts at Iowa State college.

Sad Death of Stimson DunkeL

Master Stimson Dunkel, son of Mr..

early Friday afternoon following
an extended illness with diphtheria
and complications. Heart trouble,
uremic poisoning and other troubles
followed the diphtheria. The child's
condition had been regarded as criti-
cal twice during his long illness but
both times he seemed to be able to
overcome the trouble. He was taken
worse Sunday and had been gradual
ly growing weaker since that time.
Stimson, the eldest of the two little
sons of Mr.. and Mrs. Dunkel, had
passed his ninth birthday. He was
a lively little fellow, always full Of
fun. His blue eyes danced with
merriment.

Discusses Wisconsin Situation.

Sioux City Journal: Writing to The
Journal with reference to the Wiscon-
sin senatorial situation Simon Sogard,
Of Ellsworth, Iowa, points out the I'M
deniable fact that Congressman Len
root, loyalist republican candidate,
who by margin of only 1000 votes
kdefeated, Thompson, the La Toilette
republican candidate for the party
nomination, received larger percent
age of the actual loyalist vote in the
state than did Davies, the successful
democratic nominee, though Davies
bearing the Wilson Endorsement, ran
away with the nomination in his party.
Mr.. Sogard concluded that therefore
if there is to be any bipartisan ar
rangement for the purpose of uniting
on one loyalst candidate and elm
mating all chance of victory in tn
election for Berger, the disloyalist
nominee of the German socialist party,
it is Davies who ought to retire.
Mr.. Sogard adds that though Lenroot
was mistaken in his attitude toward
pre-war measures he has been eX-
ceptionally and intelligently loyal
since war was declared. Since Len
root was only a few months at most
behind President Wilson in coming
to view the war as it ought to be
viewed, Mr. Sogard also is unable to
see by what right the president can
condemn him, and by what right ask
republicans of Wisconsin to vote for
the democratic nominee, who polled
"a 900 loyalist votes, and against their
own nominee, who polled $4,000.
The point is, of course, we'll taken.
From the standpoint of patriotism
either Lenroot or Davies would be ac-
ceptable as a senator. The Journal
feels that, while in three-cornered
fight either Lenroot or Davies would
be elected not Berger, it would be a
good thing for the nation if the party
spirit could be done away with for the
time being and loyal republicans could
vote with loyal democrats for one man
so that disloyality would be not only
beaten but completely swamped. And
it actually feels that, instead OF losing
by the deal, the party that beats the
other one to it in manifesting its utter
disregard of partisan advantage in it,
zeal for America will in the long run
gain. A party rivalry in self sacriiic-
ing patriotism would be a glorious
variant in American politics. And
perhaps it is too much to expect.
There is, unfortunately. nothing in
the psychology of democratic national
party leadership which encourages one
to expect political sacrifice from that
quarter. In all likelihood both Davies
and Lenroot will go to the election
IS candidates 1t is more important
that one of them be elected than thai
either Of them be defeated. President
Wilson has not the slightest righ
to attack the loyalty Of Lenroot. The
responsibility of the president fci
Americas slowness to realize the in
eyitable Is far greater than the re
sponsibility of Lenroot The Journa
is not for Lenroot nor for Davies. /
