The steal was too raw, and al
though they had to give the
place to Tague, who is likewise
a Democrat, they were glad to
give Lomasney a shaking in the
process.
In proof that Lomasney had
been a much-maligned citizen,
Representative Gallivan asserts
that the old boss docs good, 18
working hours of the day." and
that he "does not have to do
anything now-he has made
his money" Every man who
has come to the house from that
district in two decades, accord

MASSACHUSETTS, POLITICS
Massachusetts is about to
choose a governor. The Repub-
can candidate for reelection is
Coolidge, who as governor has
directed the attempt-thus far
in vain-to break the strike of
the Boston policemen. Two
hundred ex-service men among
the 1,400 strikers have sent a
letter to Coolidge, asking him,
in view of his charge that they
ARE traitors and cowards, why
he did not enlist in the Spanish
war when he was fitted by
age, single condition of life and
good health to do so. The sign
ers of this challenge took part
in much of the hardest fighting
on the western front in France,
and have the crosses and cita-
tions to prove their valor. They
struck because they would 9TH
elwise have been dismissed
from m the force for having join
ed the union. =
The Democratic nominee is r.
H. Long, a shoe manufacturer,
who had over $20,000,0O0 of
war contracts, and much of
whose product was rejected as
rotten" He made army sad
dies and harness. After a great |
quantity of his stuff had been
turned back as worthless, his
output became more satisfac-
tory. Testimony by army in
spectors is now being taken be-
fore the house committee on
army expenditures.

"The way Of the transgressor is
hard" says the scripture. When !,
whole nation makes the way easy fo1
the transgressor, as in the case OF
our war profiteers, it becomes a
party to the transgression and its
way is certainly hard.

The persistent attempt of the anti
farmer crowd to hang red crepe on
the Nonpartisan league, probably
arises from the need for a plausible
natural excuse for the profiteer's ami

Has Six Club Workers

convincing of the value of club work
to his children lives in White county.
He has six children in club work and
manages to find a place for any prof.
ect they wish to take up. One daugh-
ter has a flock Of chickens in one barn,
and the second has a flock in another.
The third has the use of the poultry
house and yard. A fourth daughter
has geese. The two older boys each
have their sheep and hogs. The boys
and girls give their father per cent
in return for the feed and housing that
he furnishes. The four girls keep ac-
curate records Of their poultry work,
and all the children are boosters for
the club work supervised by the United
States Department of Agriculture and

HAD ODD IDEAS OF BURIAL
Eccentric individuals Disposed %
After Death According to Instrue-
tons Left IN Their Wills.

A Londoner who died recently, left
codicil TO his will I'm which he desired
that hIs remains should be cremated
and mixed with equal portions Of ce-
ment and sand and buried ''in a large
old jam jar which belonged to my
mother"
Nor Is this by any means an iso-
lated example OF the peculiarities OF
some people in regard to the disposal
of their bodies. Perhaps the most ex-
traordinary is that of the great phil
anthropist. Jeremy Bentham, who III
Yected that, after his body had been
dissected for the benefit OF certain
medical students. the skeleton should
be reassembled, clad after the custom
OF the period, and exhibited in a glass
case at University college, where 10
may still be seen.
A certain major desired that HIS
body should be buried In a vertical po-
sition, feet upwards, on Box hill. Il
am convinced that by the time rise
again the world win have turned top
sy-turvy." was the eccentric soldiers
reason for departing from the usual
procedure In regard to- burial and, IL
may be noted, his wishes were duly
carried out.

Between the black guard and the

pearls, and on the bay mare purple
housings, and orange velvet on the

The sultan's band had struck up q

Presently the crowd about the tents

bearing a motionless figure swathed
in binding white. Marching at the
