WANTS TO SEE GOV.
Phillip REELECTED

General satisfaction is felt by al
classes over the circulation of Govern
or Philips nomination papers. This
removes all doubt and fear that oul
excellent war governor might not serve
us further, through these critical times
for state and nation.
His splendid executive ability, souno
Judgment and fairness has enabled
him to maintain law and order amongst
the somewhat cosmopolitan population
of our state This could not fail tC
win the admiration of all fair and
brOad-minded Americans, regardless
of factions or party.
On all important questions he has
taken positive and above-bOard
stand His reelection seems assured
so we can rejoice that no mediocre
issue stradler, through grand stand
play, will get control of our state
through the grand old party at this
time.

Learn Something Every Day.

In their antipathy to England and to
everything English. or supposedly Eng
Iish. the Germans have apparently un-
dertaken to eliminate from the spoken
and written Teutonic language OF the
day all words of known or suspected
English origin. There comes at first
hand this episode reported by Prof. F..
Seton Delmer, who was instructor OF
English in the University of Berlin
when the war broke out and who, from
that time until May % of this year was
either a civil or an interned prisoner.
Wishing to make him uncomfortable
at police station one day porter
frau. who knew his nationality, rebuked
her departing companion for using the
word adieu. Zach was" she called
after her, "adieu sagt man NIGHT mehr.
Das list Englisch."

DIFFER OVER ORIGIN OF DOG
Whether All Kinds Had a Common
Ancestor Has Long Been Mat
ter Of Dispute.

The ancestry of the dog has been
the occasion Of much controversy, ac-
cording to Leo S. Crandall's book,
'Pets." Many naturalists have con-
sidered that it is descended from a
single ancestor, such as the common
wolf of Europe. Darwin, however,
leans toward the theory Of multiple
origin, and advances much convincing
proof in support of his belief. 1t is
widely known that many savage tribes
have dogs. which appear to be simply
half-tamed representatives OF the par
ticular wild doglike animals inhabiting
the same regions.
The dogs Of the American plains In
dams closely resemble the small prai-
RE wolf, or coyote; the husky of the
north country is plainly not far re-
moved from the gray wolf; the Ger
man sheep dog and the Samoyede are
strikingly wolflike in appearance.
Whether our present dogs are the re-
suit of crossing these many simple
derivatives of wolves and jackals
among themselves, or whether there
was an original ancestral dog, now. ex-
tinct, with which the blood of other
species has become mingled, we have
not yet been able to determine, though
so many primordial animal remains
have come to light.
According st. George Mivart, the
dingo is the only wild dog still exist
ing which meets the requirements Of
an ancestor of our modern b.. eds.
This species is found throughout Aus
tralia and fossil bones which have been
found show it's presence there from
very early times.

Wartime Footwear in Holland.

The manufacture of slippers with
wooden soles and cloth tops is war
time industry which has sprung up in
Holland, reports the United States de-
partment OF commerce. The upper
and inner parts Of the slippers are
formed of twill, corduroy and wooden
stuffs. All these materials are rela-
lively cheap, and yet make comfortable
and durable slippers. The cloth parts
are made by hand and the wooden
soles by machinery.
In view of the mounting prices of
leather footwear, these combination
slippers, which retail for the equiva-
lent Of 81 a pair for the best quality,
are selling rapidly. It is claimed that
they are entirely satisfactory for wear
in the home and are practicable for
women engaged in indoor occupations.

GAS MOST VALUABLE AS FUEL
Used for the Purpose Of Giving d.
rect illumination.

Although gas is being used more
than ever before, it's direct employ
ment for lighting is almost thing Of
the past Our modern "gas lights are
chiefly burners where the light is not
given out by the gas at all. It is mixed
with air to produce a dim blue flame
with great heating power. This flame
serves to heat a mantle of min
eral salts white hot, and it is this in
candescent mantle that gives the light.
Here the gas is used not for it's light,
but for it's heat; and it is as fuel
that gas is now most valuable, says
the Literary Digest.
According to an address delivered
recently in England by President
Harry Jones of the Institution of Civ
IL Engineers, and reviews by Nature
Uondon), not per cent of the whole
gas output is now used for direct IL
Elimination, so that the name "gas
light company" has become some
thing of misnomer. The use of gas
as fuel, President Jones says, has re-
ceived special development during the
war, and the ready applicability of gas
appliances to the rapid making of mu-
nitions in emergencies has made them
especially valuable. Mr.. Jones quoted
high official Of the British war office
as follows:
"Without the direct aid of the gas
industry it would have been
perfectly impossible for this country
to wage the campaign Of the last three
years, or even for any but trifling
time resist the overwhelming floods of
enemies that were poured upon it.
When I first was asked to take charge
of the manufacture and production of
explosives it took me but few days
to realize my absolute dependence on
your great industry"

Kit Rations for Officers.

Those German demigods, the officers
of the army, are now on clothing ra-
tons like ordinary mortals. They will
henceforth only be able to secure new
uniforms on clothing cards. The new
regulation prescribes just how extern
sive a wardrobe an officer may have,
and he will not be permitted to array
himself in excess of its limitations.
The only special concession to officers
is that they are not required, as civil
iaus are, to declare how much cloth.
ing they already possess.

Government Finds Fathers.

The death rate among children born
out of wedlock is VIGOROUSLY and uni
versally far higher than that among
legitimate offspring. In the borough of
Hampstead, London, it is 1877 as
against 60, and in New South Wales
1t is 1852 against CT. Norway, however,
has reduced the death rate to normal
through the government assuming the
responsibility of finding the father or
of acting the father in case he cannot
be found.

Ship on Girls Back Bar to Society.

A ship on girls back is bar to
her entrance into society, according to
State Senator Alfred J. Gilchrist, of
New York city. The senator declares
that q Brooklyn girl is barred from So
ciety because, when ten years old, a
ship was tattooed on the girls back.
She cannot wear a fashionable, low
neck dress because of the spreading
sails across the ocean on her back.
The senator, therefore. asks for law
imposing fine of $500 FOR any one
who mars a young woman's beauty.

"Rotes'' and Advances Hard at Practice Behind
 Closed Gates

Those kiwanian "cut-ups7 and RO- tnrian "rough-necks,o who compose the ball teams of these live organizations, arc daily practicing behind closed gates in preparation for the annual scrap at RiclSwood next Tuesday aft ernoon. Feeling between these agsre- gations has reached such pitch that "Jawn" Taylor will be requested to furnish more than the usual allotment of reserves to keep peace during this contest. Last year two or three of the boys got so rough thnt Officers Caheen and Rosenberger were forcd to use their clubs in separating them "Royvdy" Edmonds, especially, is re- puted to be a 'hard guy" to handle in n ball game, for "Rowdyo can hit any thing but q shigh-baIl," according to the kiwanis t,virlers.
 Greg" Johnson will adorn the mound for the "Rotes," and "Greg" IS about as hard to beat as an overripe egg. Johnson used the "oil" ball last year with great effect, and is expected to duplicate next Tuesday. On first, Speedy Estes is another Hal Chase. Other Rotarian stars whose prowess is known far and wide are; Sol Jacobs, he of the barren dome and large. open face; Sax Crawford of the misplaced eyebrow, and Frank Stevens, the w. k. coin dispenser
 The kiwanians have several "eN- pros" in hiding, according to rumor. 'fElyton" Smith. the hefty outfieider; "Clay" Brownell the dashing first sacker; "Chief' Barnett, the clouting gardener, and "Windy" Currie are es pecially worthy of mention. LiSh- ming Buzz Schultz will probably start in the box for the Kiwanis, but it is not know who will finish.
 Clarence Lloyd is offering two to one on the "Rotes" and Ed" Hawk ins is wagering the same odds on the Xii wanians The contest will start about three bells and continue on until dark, provided police do not interfere.
 Every penny that is taken in at the gate will go to the Boys club.

driving in at Slavin, but always failed to land, and, in his anger, almost bowled over Slavin several times. On each of these occasions Slavin would back him away with a jab to the face. Toward the middle of the round Slavin drove a rather stinging right handler to Gotchs face. Frank, in a rage, rushed over at Slavin, grabbed him around the waist, lifted him high into the air and then tossed him to the floor, Slavin landed almost head first and for a few seconds I thought his neck was broken. But the old boy got up, a bit dazed, yet wildly eager to continue the fight But there was no chance.
 Frank Goteh, forgetting that he was a prize fighter. had resorted to wrestling tactics and i'll so doing had committed ring foul which forced his disqualfica- tion and caused the referee to give the match to Frank Slavn."
