IL the coming TO washington Of q Chill
ton press agent may not tend 20 the
formation Of an alliance between Ma
ior Nicely and Mr.. Summers for pur-
poses OF patriotic publicity.
This was the question asked one OF
Major Neely's intimates today, and
he secuted the suggestion as ''the very
idea" According to him, his candi-
date needs no press agent IN Washing
ton In his campaign to grab on the SEN
atorial nomination. In his opinion it
would hurt more than It would help.
What press work Is done by the Nicely
people, he said, and what publicity and
advertising work vas carried on TO
accelerate the speed the Fairmont can
didate is hitting up, would be origtnat-
ed In West Virginia ana carried out
there, not In Washington or any other
place outside Of state boundaries.
One line Of effort It is generally be-
lieved by the politicians here NJ. Bay
less will pursue In his work Is to dwell
upon the close and intimate relation
ship which Senator Chiffon claims e1-

before his party foremost in his can

preston has been given, is still being
given and doubtless win continue to be
given out in West Virginia that the
administration is behind Chiffon"
leastways, It win continue to be given
unless The President lets it be known
that, as between two party leaders,
both equally staunch supporters Of his,
he is taking no part ana authorizing
none OF his subordinates to. But in
the meantime, the slogan. President
Wilson wants Chiffon" will be worked
on the party proletariat for all it is
worth on the theory that what the
President wants Democrats to do in
Vest Virginia they must do, the same
as what he orders Democratic Sena-
TOTS and Congressman here to do. they
do. no matter how much they hate do

FAD WELCOMED BY ARTISTS
Painted Designs on Lingerie Give op.
portunity for Unlimited Display
Of Originality.

Now that the hard-hearted hosiery
manufacturers have decided to reduce
their manufacturing costs by cutting
out the fancy colprs and startling de-
signs of the ladies' lines and limiting
the output to plain somber shades that
cannot be heard coming, that portion
of femininity that demands novelties In
dress that fairly scream will have to
fall back on the new fad in underwear.
Oil paintings, done to suit the indi-
vidual taste, on the lingerie, each piece
to follow the same design and make up
the set, and mosquito net overdress
will put a spiderweb stocking in the
shade when it comes to startling scenic
effects.
Imagine a set with lifelike repre-
sentation of the execution of Marie
Antoinette on the back of the corset
cover and panoramic sketch of the
taking oe the Bastile running around
the bottom of the underskirt, with
other sidelights of the French Revolu-
ton sandwiched in where opportunity
presents.
Possibilities? Why! A pair of silk
ones never began to offer the possi-
bflities for effective display Of the
artistic temperament that this new fad
does. All struggling artists whose pro
auctions are not in demand since the
war economics have put quietus on
the picture market will rise en- masse
and call the originator of the new idea

Insects That Help Mankind.

e-Of the great sources of loss in
wheat growing has been due to the
Injurious activities Of the wheat-midge,
which feeds on the grain, and, If I'M
molested by it's natural insect enemies,
would soon reduce our wheat crops to
the vanishing point. But several Of
our friendly insects keep the nudge
in restraint, one being the ravenous
two-winged flies which seize and carry
away the nudge, and suck ort its
juices. Its most powerful foe, how
ever, Is the parasite that lives on the
midge-a small, black fly, somewhat
resembling the ant. The young of these
four-winged flies live on the larvae
and eggs of the nudge. AS the nudge
increases in number, these parasites
also increase, for they depend for a
living on the nudge, and the more
midges there are the more parasites
there are on hand to eat them up.

French Labor SHORTAGE.

The lack of labor has become more
acute in almost all the vital industries
of France. There are many soldiers
of the old classes in the French army.
men 40 years of age or more, whose
usefulness ut the front is question
open to debate. Agitation has been
going on since the time when American
participation in the war made the de-
mand for men less acute at the battle
front to relieve the old Poilus. Early
In 1917 the doubtful privilege of an
honorable discharge was granted to
carefree fathers Of six or more chill
dren. The real problem before the
chamber of deputies is whether to take
up the question of the old classes in a
large spirit or whether to continue to
make slight concessions to the demands
Of their constituents.

REPAIRS NEEDED FOR ROADS
Necessity and DesirabiIity of Eliminat-
Ing Holes and Ruts Should Be
Brought Out.

In order that the roads may not be
entirely destroyed or put into condi-
ton requiring complete rehabilitation,
the government ought to impress upon
states, counties, cities, villages and
townships the necessity and desirable
lty of eliminating every mudhole, every
depression, by filing in; 1t should ask
that culverts and bridges be kept In
reasonable state of repair and it should
command that every highway should
regularly and Systematically be
dragged after every rain, that high
spots may be eliminated, low spots
filed and the roads made rs smooth
and safe as possible with this tenn
porary scheme to aid, as far as pos
sble, transportation over public high<
ways.-Pitt and Quarry.

Good Stretch of Road in Iowa.

the end of 1918 there will be 1 200 sus-
tanning members of the Lincoln High
way association in Iowa.
Plans for the permanent marking Of
the route across the state were dis
cussed with the various local officials,
and consuls of the national associa-
ton, and each county in the state is
preparing to aid in financing this prof.
eeU to the extent of $500. A start has
been made in this direction, following
the action of Pottawattamie county In
voting 5000 for this purpose to which
the city of Council Bluffs has added
500.
The Importance of the Lincoln
highway improvement in Iowa was at
tested by the presence and interest Of
State Engineer Macdonald and his as

IOWA DOES GOOD ROAD WORK
Lincoln Highway Official Is Pleased
With Progress-Each County Pre-.

That good work is being done in
the improvement of the Lincoln high
way through Iowa is the assertion OF

Lincoln Highway association. Mr..
Ostermann recently made a trip of in
spection through the Hawkeye state
and the results were more than salts

aid, J. w. Holden and H. G. Beard of
The Iowa state highway commission.
Enthusiastic and well-attended Lin
coin highway meetings were held at
numerous points across the state:
splendid program of Lincoln highway
Improvement was revealed by the re-
ports submitted at these meetings.
Covering the most important develop
ments, Mr.. Ostermann states:
Seventeen miles of the Lincoln
highway in Clinton county have al
ready been graYeled with federal aid
funds; applications for federal aid
funds have also been made by Cedar
and Pottawattamie counties, and sim
liar applications will be filed in the
immediate future by Linn, Tama, Ben
ton and probably Crawford counties"
A Lincoln highway seeding mile is
now under way in Linn county, and
existing arrangements call for the
complete crawling of all the rest Of
the Lincoln highway in the county.
IN a similar fashion the plans in Mar
shall county call for the crawling of
every foot of the Lincoln highway
from county line to county line Story,
Boone and Greene counties are prae-
tically all grayeled at the present time
and an all-weather road is reported.
The visiting officials found that
Crawford county had spent more
money than any other county in the
state in grading the Lincoln highway.
