Bill Gaines did not do a thing to McBreen,
but in that McBreen was the only person
IN county that was in the least surprised.
Elmer F. Conner is the best campaigner
we ever met but he seems to be such
poor vote getter Mistah Wardall strolled
through the corridors Of the court house
like strutting peacock the day after
election and if ever in the history of King
County man gave greater evidence Of
owning the world with fence around it
it must have been when Burns and Clancy
ran the town.
s. M. Bracket ran like scared March
hare, but at that he did not run fast enough
to hold a torch for Fred G. Brown to run
by.
Now that John F. Miller has been over
whelmingly re-nominated let's turn in and
give him every patriotic vote in the city.
1t would be burning shame to permit
Democrat to get single Republican vote
for representative in Congress-
In our opinion e. B. Rawson is a splendid
representative in Congress, but the fifth
plank of his platform is responsible for the
small vote he got. He deserved and really
merited better political treatment at the
hands of those with whom he has spent
the most of his life
Ralph Nichols has been re-nominated, in
spite of the fact he was not the choice of
the editor hereof He seems to be able to
repeatedly camoufage the people in his dis
trict, which is their funeral Politically
speaking, however, Ralph is the north end
of horse going south.
It looked to the editor hereof that John
B. Wright would lead all of the candidates
for justice of the peace in Seattle, but as
usual John B. Gordon did so, but Wright
is thankful for the vote he got just the
same and in the future as in the past will
give the people the best there is in him.
Victor Zednick was defeated for the NOM
nation of justice of the peace which we
sorely regret. Victor would have made an
ideal justice and owing to his eneral pop
ularity we can hardly see how he got left
Everett G. Ellis got bit peeved at Cay
tons Weekly for saying he was not popu-
lar and made his brag few days before
the election that he would show the "darky
editor" thing or two on election day. and
he kept his word and showed us that he
got one or two votes-but few more.
For one place on the superior bench Craw-
ford E. White, Thomas P. Revelle and CAL
vim S. Hall will fight. Each of them showed
much strength and the race promises to be
very close one.
Organized labor went after Clay Allen
with hammer and tongs and despite it's eff
forts he ran so fast that he will not have
to run again, which would seem to indi-
cate that if one wants to be certain of win
ming political contest get organized labor
to fight him or her.

POLITICAL POT POURI

AS it always does the primary election
brought some startling surprises for the
ambitious ones. Jack Stringer for an in
stance surprised himself in beating Bob
Hodge for the nomination Of sheriff Fred
Tuite was not nominated and was as much
surprised that he did not get as many votes
as both Stringer and Hodge as they were
that he got any votes at ALL Even Cayton's
Weekly as well as the Union Record got
stung by Jack Stringer.

Allies Have more Wheat

England and France have made a
remarkable wartime record In raising
crops this year. The French crop of
wheat promises to be 100000 bush
els more than last year. and England
probably will have 100000 mor
han In 1917.
With 100000 fewer male laborers on
the land than before the war, England
and Wales have planted 80 per cent
more land TO crops this year than IN
1916, and the area of grain is the
largest on record. The Increase in
grain and potatoes Is 100000 acres.
Scotland and Ireland are expected to
show almost as great an increase. The
wheat acreage in England and Wales
is 2,665.000 acres; oats. 100000
acres; barley. 100000 acres rye and
minor grains, G82.OO0 acres; potatoes.
645.000 acres.
The entire wheat area of the United
Kingdom this year as estimated by
Broomhau is 100000 acres. on which
the crop may exceed 100000
bushels.

Wallace must have slept for a pro-
longed period, for when next he be-
came conscious he started up TO see,
to his intense establishment, a pretty
little girl of three or fou years, stand

He rubbed his eyes, expecting her TO
disappear. But she was still there, and

toward the interior of the shack. and

coloring showed that he had been an

had been a planter, trapped in Santi-

and tried to turn it over, but let it
fall when he saw the work that the
bullet had made of the face. He must
not let the little girl carry away any

FOREWORD

Intrigue, mystery, chiVal-
ry, love, feats of bravery on
the field of honor-alI these
elements are interviewer in
this story, which has been
well described as the first
up-to- minute novel of
America in the great war
for humanity and world
freedom. 1t is a gripping
story of a man who "came
back" and fought on the
battIefieIdS of France for
the honor of the army that
had discarded him. Victor
Rousseau has written many
excellent stories but none

beside him.
Now listen to me, Eleanor" he
said. "Your daddy has gone away.
He will be gone for a long time. You
must be good and patient, and soon
somebody will come to take are of
you. Do you understand"
The child's lip quivered, but she did
not cry. She fixed her large gray eyes
upon him.
"who are your she asked, with the
directness of childhood.
my name is Mark"
IT like you, Mark. l Will go with
you till my daddy comes back"
"All right. Then sit down here be-
side me and play" muttered Wallace,
wondering rather grimly what there
was for her to play with.
But the grubby little fingers were
soon busy in the sandy soil. Wallace
watched the child, wondering who she
was, and how II had happened that
the father had been forced to take her
into the jungle, into the midst of the
contending armies. Her clothing was
almost In rags. and she must have been
drenched by the rains of the preceding
night. 1t had certainly been a des-
perate and q difficult adventure for the
dead man.
The light began to fade. Wallace,
half delirious now from pain and
thirst, struggled to preserve his con-
seriousness for the sake Of the little
girl. Sometimes he would emerge
from a semi-stupor and look round for
her anxiously; but he always found
her, no great distance away. building
sand castles out Of the soft soil and
chattering to herself as happily as II
ahe had already forgotten her sorrow.
