 The 53 guarantorS of the $1750, re- required by the Ellison- White Chau- tauqua people are rejoicing that they have gone over the top by more than $100 in the sale of season tickets. This 'is a very different report from that appearing in the Deming Headlight of May 3, wherein it is stated that the guarantors fell behind $700, and that it was Never again for them" That Mesa has been interested in the chau- tauqua was evident, when in his Sun day night sermon lecture, James A.

TO APPOINT LENROOT
U. s. SENATOR NOW
IF GIVEN THE POWER
Congressman Is Choice of Governor
For Place Made Vacant By
Death of Senator Paul
o. Husting.

Governor Phillip will appoint
States senator to succeed the late Paul
o. Husting if the legislature gives
him the power.
Gov. Philip made this known at
Monday nights meeting Of the repub-
lican state central committee, which
with a majority present and without
dissenting vote, adopted a statement
indorsing the appointment idea. This
action is expected to influence the leg
islature.
Although several members, includ-
ing some administration men, say they
will stand out fo.' a special election
because the people demand it. Len
roots friends nj Madison say he would
accept the senatorial appointment.
Besides declaring for the selection
of United States senator by appoint
ment, the statement adopted by the
state central committee carries q
sweeping Endorsement of President
Wilson and promises republican sup
port for his war program. The state
ment makes no reference to La Fol
lette.
1t says that while the republican
party pledges it's loyalty and good will
to the president, in support of the
war, it reserves the right to disagree
with the-demOcratic administration in
the economic policies, and recon-
mends that the republican party be
committed to more equitable distri-
and greater efficiency in all depart
ments of government.
Session Opens.
Senator r. M. La Follette's atti-
tude on the war became an outstand-
ing issue at the special session of the
legislature Tuesday night, when Sena.
tor Timothy Burke, Green Bay, intro
duced loyalty resolutions at the re-
publican caucus cOndemning the sen.
ator's position.
Senator Burke said the republican
party of Wisconsin can i'll afford tt
| accept harmony as the price of silence
on La Toilette at a time when the
| people expect clean cut declaration
defending the good Americanism o.
the state. Advocates of harmony hat
| entertained the hope that affairs o.
the special session might be carried or
without any reference to the senator
| They advocated "thunders of silence
| with respect to him, but Senator
Burke failed to see it mat way ant
| has made La Toilette an issue.

Cultivate the potato. Farmers and
city people as well should plant as
many tubers thisNspring as possible,
and with fair weather conditions a
bumper crop will result With plenty
of potatoes in the cellar and flour or
meal in the pantry, the gaunt wolf of
hunger need have no terrors for any
one. There are plenty of vacant lots
in WatertoWn which should be put to
this use the coming year. Last year
the season in some places was not of
the best for an abundant crop, but the
present year may bring forth better
results.

By combining the milk business
in Milwaukee and covering the routes
with only one delivery it is expected
that the price of milk will drop. Some
like action should be taken here Why,
for instance, should three or four
milk wagons cover one street when
the delivery could be made with one.

Proper Care of Plumbers

r.. Rubbers should not be dried where
1t is too warm. nor should they be left
caked with mud and dirt. When rub

people renew them by rubbing with
Vaseline. If this is done, it should be
promptly rubbed off and the rubber
polished dry, on account of the effect
OF the greasy substance. A quick pol
1Shing with banana skin will renew
the finish, for time at least.
