That Questionable Oath Should Be Eliminated.

While perhaps not flagraht the famous 'Stur
kie" resolution of the 1916 election the oath re-
qured to be taken by electors in registering for the
approaching primary is extremely obnoxious to a
great many voters who consider it privilege to vote
the state democratic ticket but who pr to reserve
their right to vote the national ticket as they fit
In state like Florida, the supremacy Of the dsmoc
racy of which is unquestioned there be but little
objection to those democrats who would want to
vote republican presidential ticket if they consider
that the republican nominee is the best suited the
republican platform the most ideal 1t could not pos
sibly materially affect the national situation. The
state democratic executive committee could have
eliminated all the present unpleasantness and criti
eism directed against it If it had insisted that all
electors participating in the primary subscribe to an
oath that they would up hold the primary nominees
the general election. There could be no objection
to that-Jacksonville Metropolis. -

LITTLE. OLD TOWN.

(By Edmund Vance Cooke.)
Little. old town which the sun shines through
And the wind blows biindly by,
There's something inside calling you
And vainly wonder why,
For when Of you, all of us said
The town was dull and the town dead
And whenever a lucky one went away,
We made 1t text for holiday.
Little old town with the string OF stores
And the band stand in the square,
With its picayune pother Of lazy chores
And its daily devil may care;
With IT'S little white church the shaded street
Where the boys and the girls were apt to meet
And N ever the angels heard their prayers
They must have noted persistent pairs
Little old town which the sun shines through
And the wind blows blindly by,
Neither world nor weather take note of you
For they scorn you even as l.
Yet IL one Of the old towns shahsiest kids
Comes up to the city and wanders in,
Oh we seek for a corner and sit us down
And live over years in the little old town.

My dear Senator Fletcher:
am extremely grateful to you for your courtesy in
sending to me the newspaper clipping and communi-
cation from Mr.. William B. Tippetts of st. Peters
burg. Florida, concerning the difficulties have
had in obtaining answers to their letters.
The complaints contained in the communication
have been quite justified. but containing here
with some information which will indicate to you
how much progress have been making toward
point where such things cannot occur.
In the early part Of December there $500
unanswered letters in the Bureau This number has
been brought down to $4,000. This was the accum-
muLson of other months which could not be ig-
nored; there was only one thing to do and that
was to work the mail out rapidly as possible and
take to selves the responsibility the COM
plants which would arise during the process Into
this went the letters of inquiry which soldiers
wrote; this responsible for the delay in reponse
also accounts for letters going out apparently
actually having no connection with the inquiry the
soldier had made. The figures given win indicate
how soon we will have this entirely worked out so
that the delay will be nexcusible
Also in December there were 100000 premium pay
ments not posted on the books This number has
been brought down to 5000. which is less than two
days work. The presence of this group of unposted
diers for premiums that had been paid. The figures
Indicate how nearly through with this situa-
tion which has caused considerable complaint
In December we began changing the system which
was responsible for this accumulation into a simple
accounting plan which would make such delays i'm
possible; we began its installation at time when
complaints were already coming, thinking that. we
might best have all the difficulties over at one time
This has worked out that in February premiums
sent to the bureau were responded to within fifteen
days with a receipt showing the month for which
paids | am assured by the head of the Insurance
Division that this period will be cut to eight ten
days during March. and by May will reach regular
four days schedule
While clearing this up there will continue to
Just complaints Of 1 would be very grateful
to you if you would bring to my attention any such
that come to you so that may close up the source
OF the complaint quickly possible.
feel free in making this request you because
of the genuine interest which you have shown in the
matter and the assistance which you have rendered
in the past for which. on behalf of the exseryice
men and women are trying to serve. am deeply
grateful.

B00KMARKS OF EVERY KIND
Strip of Bacon About the Most Unique
That Des Mo mes Librarian Has
Yet Found.

The most startling marker that For
est B. Spaulding, public Librarian Of
Des MoineS, Iowa, has come across In
the books that have circulated from
the library was strip of UNDERGONE
bacon. The most ordinary bookmark
found in the books Is the common va
riety of wire hairpin. Hairpns might
be collected by the hundreds. tMr.
Spauldng says, but owing to that
very fact they are considered as fair
ly worthless from the collectors stand
point.
The vacation season Is announced
annually by the presence of snapshots
in the returned books. These are both
personal or otherwise in character,
Postcards and letters, too, come in
often. Frequently letters addressed
and stamped are found just as they
were left by the book borrower who
doubtless was proceeding postofAce-
ward by way Of the library. These ARE
mailed from the library.

Warning Is Issued
To Canal Companies

The prevailing custom of having
the water shut out of the canals Tor
several weeks in the early spring for
the purpose of making repairs results
in delay in irrigation. 1t also pre-
vents the filling of the sub-strata TO
form a basis for more rapid irrlga-
ton when the water is turned into
the fields.
IT is earnestly recommended that
water be conserved as much as pos
sible during the early spring by al
lowing it to flow in the canals and
on lands where it will not hamper
farming operations, to get as much or
it stored in the land as can be done
without damage, and to the end that
when irrigation begins, the full
capacity of the canals can be conferred
on the fields. Those who are willing
to water meadows, pasture lands ana
orchards early, will be fortifylng
against the shortage that will come
with the hot weather.
Appeal to Canal Officers
Officials of canal companies are
urged to take SUCH action as they can
to hold the water in the upper valley
if only for the purpose of delaying it
SO that the return flow into the river
may reach those in the lower valley
in the irrigation season and thereby
increasing their crop yield. What
ever helps them also helps us in some
degree.

now for the last time we are putting
you wise. We can do no more 1t
is decidedly up to you.
1t has long been said that a lover
when wooing his maid is an animated
promissory note. He may be short
just now, but he promises much in
the future, including interest and
even attorneys fees If he is delin-
quent. He doesn't know that he is
promising more than he can deliver.
1t is part of his enthusiasm, for the
world looks good to him. Out of a
sea of roses he feels justified in
promising you all the alfalfa bloom
you can use. And the girl who has
inflated his bosom with great love
is partly responsible for his opti-
mism and his flood Of promises. If
he fails utterly in making good, look
yourself over to see if you have failed
in keeping up that flood of magic
in his bosom.
There are responsibilities both
ways.

Organization of
Cavalry Goes Ahead

Adjutant General Patch, who has
announced policy of Idaho horses
for Idaho cavalry, has authorized
Major Burns to go out in the state
and buy horses fit for cavalry pur-
poses. When that work has been
completed the organizing of the reg
iment will be taken up. 1t is expect
ed to organize five troops in southern
Idaho. American Falls and Twin
Falls have about completed their Or
CARNATIONS, Boise and Pocatello we'll
under way and it is hoped to organ
ize troop in Blackfoot.
The individual cavalry troops and
the regiment will be under the train
ing of U. S. army officers.
1t has been decided as Idaho is the
home of natural horsemen that cav
airy regiment will afford more attrac-
ton than a regiment of infantry.

about the wonders you and he could

and il he acts as tho he tkot it were
