ABBEY OF GROVER
FOR LEGISLATURE

We announced last week that E. G.
Abbey of Grover would be a republi-
can candidate for the legislature at
the primary election in September.
This action ws not entirely Mr..
Abbeys choice. His first thought
was since the two other candidates
were high in the convention, he
would not contest the matter further.
His chang Of attitude was not
prompted by personal desire to con-
test further, but at the solicitation OF
friends and neighbors Of the eastern
part of the country in hopes that the
section might be represented in some
capacity on the republican ticket.
There is a feeling with both OF the
old political parties, and the same
appears to be true for the Non-par-
tisan League that this part OF the
county should be represented in the
legislative body.
Mr.. Abbey's candidacy then is not
In any sense hostile move OF per-
sonal nature against either Mr.. Will
son or Mr.. Tedman, the other two re-
publican candidates for the same pos
ition.
On the other hand 1t Is not pos
sible for Mr.. Abbey to succeed with
out defeating one or the other Of
these two men for the nomination.
That is one Of the disagreeable things
about all contests All may strive,
but not all may win.
Mr.. Abbey ia young man, but a
man Of successful business exper-
ience.. For several years he has had
entire charge OF the Grover bank and
its prosperity and success have been
marked.
He has always been ready to as
sist with time and money the pro-
jects that were for the common good
OF the entire eastern section OF the
county, and still In this broad enough
not to wish to antagonize the best
interests Of any OF his neishbors.
1t is doubtless true that Mr. Abbey
is a partisan Of this home town Of
Grover. How could he be otherwise?
II 1t could be truthfully said that
an individual would favor another
town at the expense OF his home town
then he would distrust that man. Mr..
Abbey is loyal to his home town as
he should be. and that is pretty good
evidence that he would be loyal to the
larger interests that Legislative
member would find 1t his duty to
serve.
We do not look TO see the matter
of county division topic of imme-
diate interest. but 1t is matter that
will be in mind always in selecting
legislative candidates. for the pos
sibility is always there of some act.
Should that possibility arise with
Mr.. Abbey In the legislature. We
should expect that Mr.. Abbey would
, treat the matter fairly, and that each
town which has visions Of being the
seat OF government for the new coun-
ty would get a square deal at his
hands.
Mr.. Abey has our hearty support
in his aspirations to serve this coun-
try as a member Of the legislature.

HE never could be a cat with a
name like that" said Nancy, shaking
her head. "Why in the world was he

HE is a cousin of the cat family"
said Daddy.
"Really!" exclaimed the children.
"And with that awfully big, queer
name. Not that it's so big but it's so
queer"
"Of course not the Tommy part"
added Nick, "only the other name
banded ocelot. It's mighty hard to
say, think"
That's just what the banded oce-

had all his friends and relations call

There was one named Tiger, one

"'It's so much nicer said Tommy
to be called by good, friendly name.
Somehow there is nothing at all friend

are always called by special names,
and not just called cat, so we should
be allowed nice extra names any

ONE WAY THE RED CROSS HAS
TO DEFEAT THE KAISER

At the first onslaught Of the Huns,
before the French were able to with
stand their invasion, the kaiser secured
a goodly section of France. With the
captured cities and villages he acquired
many thousands of Frenchmen.
True to all the rues Of Teutonic eff
cheney, tho noble German worked and
starved these French close to the point
Of death, then saw to it that an i'm
pressive number Of them "caught"
tuberculosis and finally sent these poor
wrecks back to burden France.
It has taken the kaiser from two to
three years to suck the healthy blood
from the veins Of these sturdy rural
French, but now he is sending them
back At the rate Of about 1000 day.

be more than the French government
could handle. But our American Red
Cross is making heroic efforts to defeat
the kaiser's aim to fill France with
consumptives. Trained Red Cross work
ers are at the receiving station at
Evion. They first separate those show
ing signs of tuberculosis from those
who are only starving or have some
other disease.
1t is just like the tender scare of our
Red Cross to give particular attention
to the babies and children to whom the
kindly kaiser has fed consumptive
germs. We have a hospital Of 80 beds
for children in Evian. These are re-
served for the children who are too i'll
to take farther. Then our Red Cross
has convalescent hospital outside the
town and yet another in a nearby vii
lage. It also keeps six ambulances
busy transporting sick women and chill
dren. Yet even then. the strain upon
our workers is 30 great that for eight
long months one American nurse has
had to look after 112o beds.
We, through our American Red Cross,
are doing great things toward defeat.
