to show that McKaig is a friend of
these men. He will also produce evil

in very friendly manner.
In the last election, $4,000 votes
were polled in Idaho. The flu was
raging at the time and there was a
severe snow storm on election day.
Places were under quarantine and
many of the elections were held out
in the open The flu was raging the
worst in the Gooding strongholds, it
was said and the former governor
blames the epidemic largely for his
defeat.
Gooding is man about 60 years
old, who has been very successful IN
business. He is one Of the biggest
farmers in Idaho, tilling 4,00o acres
and he has about $4,000 sheep. He is
Interested in string of mercantile
establishments and should McKaig
win his suit, is well able to write out
a check for 100000. Gooding came
to Idaho when he was a lad of Is. % He
was married to a girl of IA at the
time. He managed to exc out an ex-
istence by hauling water from the
Hood river to the saloon for two bits
a barrel. Later he made charcoal for
the smelters and finally got INTO bust
ness for himself, making a fortune.
Idaho has been very fertile field
for the league. There are some forty
irrigation projects in the state and
only three Of them have been an I'M
qualified success. Several have been
a partial success, but most of them
have been failures. Thousands of
farmers lost every cent they had buy
ing land in the unsuccessful irrigat-
ed districts. These men readily en-
braced the league for relief was prom
ised. The league is also strong in the
lumber and mining districts. The
farmers, as in North Dakota, have
! joined forces with the labor element
and while they succeeded in electing
United Staes senator last fall, they
lost on most of the other candidates.
They are still fighting and hope to
sweep the state at the next election.

HELP RECOVER STOLEN CASH
Railway Agent at Big Suamico Trailed
Son of Farmer and Aided in Re-
covering SAG, 200 Stolen From
Standard Oil in Indiana.

Green Bay, Sept. 3O.-How .rail-
road depot agent at wayside station
figured as an important cog in the
machine which trapped three young
Chicagoans in one Of the biggest rob
berries that has taken place in this Sec
ton of the country in years has just
been revealed in the recovery Of $780,
200 Of the loot that had been hidden
away for five days on the farm Of
John Wejda near Big Suamico, about
eight miles from Green Bay. G. r.
Swanson, agent of the Chicago &
Northwestern road at Big Suamico, is
the man who rendered valuable aid to
the postal authorities in Chicago in
the case-that involving John S. Wei
da, son of the Suamico farmer, Philip
and Walter FilipkOwski, who have con-
fessed to the robbery of mail sack
containing $234,OOO of the Standard
Oil company pay roll at Whiting, Ind.
Swanson saw young Wejda and a COM
panion alight from a Northwestern
train at the Suamico station. Having
been asked to watch for movements,
to and from the Wejda farm, Swanson
suspected, when he noticed Wejda
clinging tightly to well-filled flour
sack, that the youth had picked out
the Suamico farm as a spot where he
figured his treasure might be depos-
tied with perfect safety until time,
when he could begin spending the for
tune. He believed that the flour sack
contained Wejda's "divvy" of the
$234-OOO, so he made a mental note
that the two men hurried from the
station platform to horse and car
riage which had been waiting a short
distance away. Strange to say, every
thing played into the hands of the
postal authorities Swanson barely had
returned to his post in the Big Suami-
co station when young Wejda arrived
by train. His actions, as outlined pre-
viously, aroused Swanson and the rail-
road agent communicated his observa-
tons to General Stuart. Wejda was
arrested when he returned to Chicago,
and the Filipkowski brothers were
picked up later Accompanied by two
operatives, Stuart went to Big Suami-
co, picked up Swanson and rode by
motorcar to the Wejda farm. Finding
the elder VEGA at the farm, the opera
tors demanded that he turn over the
money to them. The party of officials
was directed quarter Of mile from,
the farmhouse to ditch, where, bur-
led in one bank Of it, they found
large milk can containing $46,20O The
bills, mostly in denominations of $40
and $40, Of packages Of $1,000, were
wrapped in pieces of lace curtains,
calico dresses and rags while the can
was tied within a burlap sack.

Wedding Rings.

The wedding ring was not always
plain, as we see it today. 1t was fire.
Quently highly Ornamented md
wrought with various designs But
as other rings began to be worn the
wedding ring was made conspicuously
plain. The practice, however, was
long in vogue of inscribing apprO-
pirate notices on rings. The ring
may be said to be symbolic. 1t is Of
gold and typifies purity and refinement.
whereas it's rotundity signifies "the
round flowing Of mutual love and

THE MILD WINTER,

Dear Social Corner Sisters How de-
lightful the weather is and has been.
So different from last winter, when
the Thermometer was Gown to zero
most of the time, and 50 many of the
water pipes We're frozen solid. Some
families in our neighborhn0d were
without water until early spring. What
trying time that was: and now this
winter so far not a sign OF freezing.
How 7 dreaded this wintcr; thought
I couldn't live through another WIN
ter like the last. The end Ct January
IS now most here, vita scarcely any
snow or ice, and only one month more
to worry about. I'm not the worrying
kind, but being the man of the house
it certainly made me very uneasy
Don't believe I should enjoy living ir
NoCth Dakota. where the sun seldom
shines, and on the ground and in the
air everywhere nofTSn2 htlt snow anh
ice. Neither would 7 enjoy living II
the Sunny South. I have spent sew
en- months there, and certainly was
more than glad 70 arrive III beautiful
peaceful old Norwich again. which
think is the incest place to live in.
Interested Reader: Thanks very
much for the pretty calendar YOU sent
me, Vacation Day on Lake Michigan
Tt brings to mind just some such de
lightful days I spent on the lakes.
Theoda: My mother and enjoyed
your letter immensely. We both did
have such a good laugh.
Crimson Rambler: We greatly en-
joyed your letter, having missed your
