PARDON RECORDS EXTRAVAGRANCE
 EXTRA SESSIONS
SUPPLYING CANDIDATES WITH POLITICAL THUNDER = FOUR INTERESTING RACES IN CON- GRESSIONAL DISTRICTS.

There are issues a-plenty for the campaign, judging from the attacks that are being made upon most of the existing state departments espec- ially the Commissions. They are game for every candidate to shoot at.
 Whoever is elected, it is almost a certainty that there will be strong re- concentrations in his inaugral address for the reformation, reorganization, amalgamation, modification or elim- ination of most of the Commissions that have been created in the state since the custom started several years ago.
 The attacks of the candidates are centering upon the Highway Commiss ion, the Corporation Commission and the Tax Commission, the Corporation Commission, and the Tax Commission Not much has been said yet about the Fish and Game Commission, but there is plenty of time yet. The State Board of Control is also coming in for it's share of attention, and the biennial standby of the political candidate, the Penitentiary Commission, is not be- ing neglected
 Pardon records, extravaganza, extra sessions of the Legislature, and the budget system are among the other things that supply the candidates with unlimited material with which to en- certain the voters.
 But the flock of candidates for Gov ernor are not monopolizing public at tention. Senator Kirby and Congress man Caraway, who opposes him for reelection, are very much in the limelight. MT. Caraway has made his opening speech at Benton, and Senator Kirby is Joking over the ground to set his battery of big guns for the opening engagement. Their respective attit- udes toward the War and the Treaty of Peace, with the side-references to their ability as statesmen, appear to be the principal things considered by the candidates, although each one deals extensively with the great con structive policies that must be put into effect to save the country from the impending crisis. -
 Both Congressman Caraway and
The Prescott daily news., 1920-05-07

Senator Kirby are men of strong per- sonality and superior ability on the stump, and the state may well look forward to being nughly entertained during the next three months.
 These larger offices will of course occupy the center of the stage, but there is a number of minor state and district offices that will be watched with keen interest. This is especially true of the race for State Auditor, with three aspirants for the place now held by Hogan Oliver. For Secretary

merce):
Today enormous demands are
made upon shoe manufacturers all
over the United States. In many
cases they are staggered with or
ders. The outstanding difficulty con.
fronting them is how can factory
running fewer hours a week than
formerly turn out the same number
of pairs of shoes it used to? It
cannot be done with an increase in
productive power of each individual.
Today, as many times before in in.
dustrial history, machinery is a prin.
cipal factor in the solution.
The demands of the shoe manu-.
facturers for additional equipment
are many and urgent. AS a result
the factories of the United Shoe
Machinery corporation at Beverly
are buster than ever before. The
Beverly plant is running night and
day to meet this demand with more
operatives employed than ever be-
fore. The increased force is due
partly to the fact that a shorter
working week -44 hours-was in.
augurated at Beverly early in the
present year. The widespread re.
duction of hours of labor affects
every line of business, whether it is
one which supplies equipment or
the finished product, and necessi-

vent accidental overf1owing or the
starting of fire. After the fumiga-
tion the house should be given a thor
ough airing.
Gases, such as formalin and the va
.pors of benzine, napthaline, and cam
phor are sometimes used, but are of
little value. Insect powders, because
they are difficult to get into crevices,
are not effective.
Methods of Control.
Among the simple methods of con-
troll, however, perhaps the most eff
cient is a very liberal application of
benzine, kerosene, or gasoline, intro
duced with small brushes or feathers,
or by injecting with syringes into all
crevices of beds, furniture, or walls
where the insects may have concealed
themselves. Not only is the Dashboard
of the room apt to be infested with
them, but the picture molding and the
back Of the pictures themselves may
furnish lodging for the pest. Corrosive
Sublimate is also of value, and oil of
way. Hot water, wherever it may be
employed without danger to furniture,
is also an effective means of destroy
ing both eggs and bugs.
Various bedbug remedies and mix
lures are for sale, most of them con-
tanning one or another of the ingredi-
ents mentioned, and these are frequent
ly of value. The important point how
ever, in the case of an infested house
is daily inspection of beds and bed
ding, particularly the seams and tuft-
ing of mattresses, and of all crevices
and locations about the premises where
these vermin may have gone for con-
cealment.
A vigorous campaign should, in the
course of week or so at the outside,
result in the determination of this very
obnoxious and embarrassing pest,
which swoops down upon it's helpless
sleeping prey during the midnight
watches.

THREE-WAY BRUSH Is
BIG HOUSEHOLD HELP
Can Be Placed on Porch to Re-
move Mud From Shoes.
Device Is inexpensive and Will Save
Considerable Work for Housewife
Foot Scraper Is Quite
Valuable Adjunct.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
If the male members of the family
will place three-way brush conYen-
iently on the porch and use it to clean
the mud from their shoes before they
enter the house, they can save cOnsid-
cradle work for the housewife. This
mud remover is inexpensive and can
be made at home from three scrub
bing or cleaning brushes, or pur-
chased from most supply houses. II
consists of three foot-brooms which are
arranged, one at the bottom and the
other two at the sides, in such way
that the foot can be drawn backward
and forward through the device SO
that the dirt and mud will be re-
moved. A strong box of the desired
size, with it's ends removed, makes q
good foundation onto the sides Of
which the side brushes and one on the
bottom may be nailed. Obviously no
dimensions which could be given
would be very useful because the size
must suit that Of the shoes to be
cleaned. Since they are so easily con-
structed one could be made for the
men and one for the children, the chief
caution being that the side brushes
should be close enough together to
cause good friction on the shoe as 1t
is drawn between them. Because of
the friction taking place the device
should be fastened securely to the
doorstep or other firm foundation. II
an old-fashioned foot scraper, consist
ing of a piece of metal, were placed
beside the broom device 1t would
prove a valuable adjunct.
Some farmers practice the plan Of
always entering the house through q
work room or shed or closet, where
they remove their boots and don slip
pers. The objection to this method is
that too often at the noon hour the
farmer is hurried and neglects to take
the time to make the change.
For use on dairy farms, where con-
siderable work in washing milk cans
and other dairy utensils is necessary,
the wooden or steel-soled shoe is rec
commended, and is inexpensive enough
so that the average farmer can put 1t
to good use.

FEEDING VALUE OF POTATOES
Tubers Are Rich in Mineral Matter
Necessary to Keep Body in
Good Condition.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
One medium potato gives as much
body fuel as two slices of bread and
more than one egg. The tissue-build-
ing material, protein is present only
in slight amount, so that milk, cheese,
eggs, fish and meat, which are rich in
protein, are the logical foods to eat
with potatoes. However, the small
quantity of protein which the potato
contains is of an especially valuable
kind. Potatoes are rich in the min
eral matter necessary to keep the body
in condition.
