POLITICAL OBSERVATIONS.

a movement by influential Repub
lican leaders to guide the Missouri
state Republican organization to an
indorsement of prohibition has been
disclosed by letters sent out 10 Re
publican workers in nearly every
county in the state. The blank in
closed with the letters contains
these questions: DO YOU favor the
Republicans OF Missouri advocating
the ratification OF the national pro-
hibition measure, Would the ma
iority OF the Republicans OF your
county favor it? Whom do YOU pre-
fer as the Republican candidate for
United States senator this year /.
Whom would the Republicans OF
your county favor,

ton will be propounded by the
Equal Suffrage League. which con
tends that the acknowledgements OF
women has become 4 wartime
measure and that the women OF
Missouri should have voice IN the
next presidential election in which
ll,l2l,0 ,0o1 women in twenty-one
states will participate.
Chairman Hays of the Republican
national committee insists that tine
Republican party in congress should
adopt a constructive political pol
icy and express it in speeches IN the
house and senate for use in the cam
paign.' He proposes an advisory
committee composed OF senators
and representatives who shall con
suit from time to time with national
leaders outside OF Washington on
political policies and decide upon
the advisability of line OF cam
paign speeches in congress.
While there is only languid inter
est in politics in Minnesota. where
the general primary will be held or
June II. on the part OF the genera
public. the politicians tor revenue
are showing all their usual interest
and they constitute an element
against which at this particular time
the public should be on its guard
Agencies OF disloyalty, sedition ant
class are also, it is said, becoming
quite active in Minnesota politica
affairs.
Senator Boles Penrose is still the
political boss OF Pennsylvania. lhe
recent primary has demonstrated
that, without doubt. His candi-
date for governor was nominated oy
a very large majority Inc triumph
was so complete it is construed as
meaning that two years hence Mr'
Penrose will have no Republicah
opposition when he offers Tor an
other term in the senate.
WHY not an army OF 5OOO,OOO: ::
This was the slogan which the pol'-
ticians unfriendly to the admins
tration had been sounding Tor
weeks. The reply OF the president
came in his speech in New York
when he brought a great audience
to its feet with: "Why limit 1t TO
5.OO0,000?"
This from the Topeka Capital
whose editor was once one OF the
most devoted bf the colonel ioi-
lowers. but who for some years mas
had his feet under the Republican
table. The colonel, we apprehend,
shortly is to learn that his personal
grievances no longer enthrall the
reading public.
The candidate for the senate or
the house this wear will be unable
to dodge issues. The public is go
ing to know where he stands. lie
must be for the administration war
program or against it; he must be
for woman suffrage or against 1t :
he must be for prohibition or
against it.

Gold in Montana,

The first discovery of gold in Mon
tana Is accredited to halfbreed In
dian, who in 1852 found "colors" in
gravel near the mouth of Col creek,
q small stream that rises III the north
east corner of the Philipsburg quad
rangle, and the first workable places
discovered in Montana were found on
this creek in 1862, recites the Geologi-
cal Press Survey Bulletin. A small
quantity Of gold was taken out Of
these gravels by means Of sluice boxes
on the creek near the present site Of
Pioneer. The deposit afterward ex.
plotted by the HOPE mine was discov-
cred In December. 1864. and In 1855
Philipsburs was founded just south
Of the mine. Since that time the Phil.
ipsburH district has produced about
$50, 600 200 In gold and silver.

Soap and water are bad for any dogs
coat They wash away the natural
oils. making the hair dry and brittle,
and consequently the less washing the
better the coat will be. The dog, how

stiff brush vigorously and regularly
applied will keep pointer clean as a

tonic, stimulating the growth Of the
hair and keeping the skin underneath

For the setter's long coat the old
English recipe Is eggs rubbed in. al.

again. The best combination Is to use
the whites for cleaning and to feed
the yellows raw mixed up with bread
or biscuits. This is the most effec-

and make the cleaning easier, while
the yolks are most valuable food. II

SKELETONS OF STONE AGE
Bones Of Early People Of Japan Show
They Were Six to Seven Feet
In Height.

Fifteen human skeletons were I'M
earthed in the province of Kawachi,
near Osaka. This is considered the
birthplace of japanese civilization. OF
the relics of the japanese stone age,
discovered by Professor Okushi. nine
of the skeletons were in perfect preser-
walton. all bones being intact, East and
West News says. 1t rarely happens,
according to scientific records, that so
many perfect skeletons are discovered
in one place.
Among indications that people of
that period lived on uncooked food, is
the fact that upper and lower teeth
are evenly worn down. Decayed teeth
are not found. The bOny structure of
the skeletons are massive; shin bones,
in most cases, are somewhat fiat. Some
of these skeletons stand seven feet
high even shorter ones are over six
feet! Skeletons were found in lying
position, with knees drawn UP. With
out doubt, these people belonged to
the stone {. . in Japan-30 goo years
ago, at least.
While making the excavation, stone
implements, earthenware and two cop
per arrowheads were found. Two white
jade earrings were discovered which
may be of Chinese origin. and Of a
much later period. 1t Is thought this
find may establish a. link between the
stone and bronze ages in prehistoric
Japan. Archeologists hold that 1t
surely indicates the early people of
Japan had intercourse with other parts
of Asia. The earthenware patterns
are not necessarily Ainu; the bones
cannot possibly be those of Anus.
This discovery revolutionizes archeo-
logical theories of prehistoric Japan.

WHEN ONE IS STRICKEN DEAF
AffictIon Accompanied by Depression
Strangely and Intensely Over.
powerlng, Says Writer.

The invariable depression that comes
with the beginning Of deafness is
strangely and intensely overpowering.
It exists sometimes indefinitely. The
word depression, as commonly used,
admits Of varied shades of meaning,
writes Margaret Baldwin, In the At
lantic. 1t all but carries with It a
vague impression Of lack Of will power,
more or less voluntary Indifference to
moral effect. But let no one suppose
that Its use here indicates any mere
dull, dispirited outlook on life. or any
other voluntary mental view of ones
self or ones future. There is nothing
voluntary about 1t.
1t Is a feeling deeply physical as we'll
a. mental-a mingled condition of woe
ful sickness and sadness that beggars
description. The distress and shock
over what has happened to one and
the first experience Of what it is like,
is the initial factor. But considering
what 1t ought to be as compared with
the shock of blindness, Which, it seems
to me, must be sufficient to produce
permanent bIacllest despair, the de-
preston of deafness is out of all pro-
portion.

GREAT ROAD BUILDING
Over S3,000,000 Will Be Spent In This
State In Next Three Years.

Ths State of Tennessee Is entering
upon one of the biggest programs OF
road construction in Its history.
The many counties of the State are
Issuing bonds for new construc tion,
the State has funds availble and the
United States government has made
Appropriations which must be used in
the immediate future.
Within the next two years over three
million dollars will be expended on the
new construction and reconstruction.
After the roads are constructed they
must be kept from deterioration and
destruction by proper methods Of
maintenance. The problem of a pro.
per system of maintenance is placing
itself before the engineers of the
State at this time as never before
because of the great amount of new
construction anu me heavier loads that
are canning on the old constructions.
The Program Ior the annual Road
Conference at the University of Ten
nessee is arranged for two days, Feb
ruary 14th and 18th.
During the three days previous to
the Conference February II. II. IL,
Mr.. A. M. Nelson. State Highway
Engineer, will offer Instruction IN
the ntenancs of the different types
Of road surfaces. This instruction
will consist OF two lectures each day.
and II gwen especially for the benefit
Of the patrolman or the man actually
performing the work Of maintenance.
Our county Road Superintendent, Z.
+. Schserer, could do NO better thing
than to attend this series of lectues
and the Road Conference following.

Americas Greatest Cereal Crop
Is Now Moving to
Market.
MAINSTAY IN NATIONS CRISIS.
Surplus Wheat of the United States
Has Been Sent to Famine Threat
ened Europe.

Americas great corn crop, exceed.
ing 5000 100000 bushels. will save the
worlds food situation. officials Of the
United States food administration be-
lieve.
Corn is the nations best food cereal,
housewives are beginning to realize.
1t contains all the elements needed to
keep the body in state of health and
when used according to the scores Of
tried recipes. especially when COM
bined with an added portion Of oil or
tat, will sustain life indefinitely. In
dian warriors In colonial days lived On
parched corn alone for many days at
time, and at Valley Forge parched
corn was at times the sole ration Of
the Continental soldiers.
Owing to transportation difficulties
caused by the war the corn crop moved
more slowly to market this year than
ever before. Now, however, the cereal
Is reaching the millers and consumers.
In the meantime the nations surplus
wheat has been sent to Europe.
To-day there are approximately 30
bushels of corn for every American.
This quantity u greater BY 1vs bash-
els than in former years.
Corn has become the nations mail-
stay In the crisis of war.
Just az this cereal saved the first
American coloniSts from famine on
many occasions, just as 1t served a.
staple food during the War Of the Rev.
olution and during the Civil War, King
Corn has again come to the front In
the nations battle with autocracy.
Corn meal is finding greatly increas.
ed use In the making of ordinary white
bread. Hundreds Of housewives and

ated in the war
There are core of lorn products
that today possess unusual importance
for Americans. Corn syrup for sweet

products made from corn
Corn oil, excellent for frying ana Cor
