REPUBLICANS INSURE
ECONOMICAL CONDUCT

Washington.-Not one man In ten
thousand realizes the enormous ex-
penses run up by the present Govern
ment. The disbursements are roughly
S15,00O,00O day, more than year
after the war. In 1914 the people
expostulated because the daily dis
bursements by the Treasury had
reached $2,00O,OO0. How gladly would
the people grooming under the impo-
sitions Of profiteers and the burden Of
taxes welcome return to those hal
cyon daysl Congress and the new Ad-
ministration will have to deal with
the reduction Of Government expendi-
lures.
The same party that has swelled
them returned to power will never re-
duce them, because 1t claims the gov
eminent Is being economically admin
istered. The Republican party Will
delight In reducing these enlarged ex-
penses for clerk hire, and the insa-
table bureaus that have been built up
into money spending machines. BY
holding In their hands all lines Of ex-
penditures the new Congress and new
Executive working together will cut
down excessive items and eliminate
others to an aggregate of hundreds
Of millions Of dollars.

and a determination to bring 1t about
at the polls November q
Whether 1t be from the central west.
the far west, the east or the south, the
reports tell Of this seeking for Q
change. The desire for a change Is
born Of dissa tisfaction. dislike and dis
gust felt by the voters toward the VIII
son administration and the things Il
has done and left undone.
Mr.. Cox Is looked on as 4 man who
IL no were elected would follow the
track Of Mr.. Wilson. In fact, he has
declared himself In complete accord"
with Mr.. Wilson.
The public. by al accounts, is not
looking for q man who VIA 60 along

USE DOGS AS sMuGeLEas
Animals Aid Illicit Dealers In Bring.
tno Liquor and Drugs Into the
United States.

Training dogs to smuggle liquor
across the Rio Grande river is the
latest device Of ingenious minds of
those who make living by means
OF Illicit importation to the United
States Of liquor and drugs. That in
novation In line running came to light
at El Paso. Tex, recently when a
Mexican river guard shot dog
smugglcr" in the act Of swimming the
Rio Grande with four bottles of
teQuila, a Mexican liquor Of cactus
distillation, tied across his back.
The dog, as the story of the serv-
ice to his master is told by United
States customs men. had been max
ing nightly trips between Juarez and
Ell Paso with contraband goods for
several months. The strange, but
regular, actions Of the animal first
were noted by customs officers about
two months ago. Beginning at two
o'clock in the morning, the dog would
begin his operations. Signal lights
flashed by confederates in the gang Of
smugglers stationed on each side Of
the river always preceded the dogs
trip across stream. Dashing out of a
cluster of sQualid adobe houses along
the Mexican side Of the river, the ami
NAL would plunge into the Rio Grande
with his load.
Emerging on the American side, the
"smuggler" always was successful in
eluding pursuers, who often sought to
lasso the dog, being loath to shoot an
unsuspecting law violator.

FOUND NEW LAND OF GOLD
New York Mining Man Reports Rich
Discoveries Made in the Mines
of Colombia.

A new gold region has been discov.
cred in Colombia, according to j. v.
Priest, a mining man, who arrived at
New York from Santa Marta, Colon
bia.
Mr.. Priest said that some time ago
he was told by a Frenchman, who said
he was government employee, of
fabulous wealth that lay hidden in the
mines of Colombia. Mr.. Priest, ac-
companied by his wife and G. L.
Logue, a. mining engineer, visited
Colombia recently and spent his time
in visiting various sections.
After landing at Cartagna, Mr..
Priest said, he and his companions
went up the Magdalena river $50 miles
and disembarked, going overland
through mountainous country for e5
miles.
At the end of the Journey, Mr.. Priest
said, they found vast gold fields which
had never been actively developed
because of the absence of the proper
machinery. He said this is accounted
for by the lack Of transit facilities, II
being most difficult matter to ship
material Of any kind to this point.

Huns in France at Belleau wood.
Scissors. st. Mihiel, Champagne or in
the Argonne will be issued to recruits
who never saw fight when the big
Job just begun at the marine corps de-
pot of supplies at Chicago is finished
All the rifles used by marines in
France have been turned in at the de-
pot to be rehnished and repaired. So
well did their bearers care for them
that most of them can be used again.
When they come out Of the gunshop
as good as new they will be issued to
recruits, who will be inspired by the
knowledge that they carry the same
rifles that were used in the world war.

Peace Hath Its Sorrows.

women who had acted us chaperon
meeting demure miss who had ear
nestly and strenuously thrown herself
into the party and dance game, asked !:
Coming to the dance, Luella?"
II think not" aswered Luella, with
a sigh.
"Why, what's the reason?" asked the
surprised chaperon.
II would have no one to dance WITH"
said Luella
"All our boys are back" replied the
chaperon. There are as many men as
ever"
SWELL" said Luella, 1--WE could al
ways depend on the soldiers, but

BEEN HERE 6s YEARS.

Almor Stern had an anniversary
last Saturday, April 30th. 1t was the
sixty-third anniversary of his land
ing in Harrison county and becoming
a permanent resident of this particu-
lar part of the best state in the I'M
ion. He came here with his parents
in the spring of 1857, and he wasn't
very old at that time, just around
three years, and naturally does not
remember much about the trip,
though he does recall the bridge on
which he crossed the North Pigeon on
the way to the new home in Harris
Grove, coming from Omaha. 1t was
a peculiar bridge, in that it was built
somewhat on the plan of the roof of
house, and the pitch to get on and
off the bridge was pretty steep. He
says that bridge remains in his mem
DRY to this day. 1t was matter of
only twelve miles to neighbor on
the south from where the pioneer
Stern family located. Mr.. Stern has
seen some wonderful changes in this
county during his life here, and he
had a part in making many of the
changes. Having been in the abstract
and land business for many years he
knows who most of the early settlers
were and the changes of ownership of
many of the tracts of land all over
the county. It is very interesting to
hear him tell of the old timers here,
where they lived, who later owned
the land, and the various changes that
have taken place in the better known
communities.-Observer.
