Small Girls Criticism.

Little fve-year-old Lois had been
told not to be in such a hurry when
she put away her playthings, to take
a little more care and pack them
straight. One evening her grandma
was taking her home after dark. AS
they were walking along the street
lights were turned on. She looked ur
and asked: Grandma who turned all
of those~lights on at onceT On being
told q man at the electric light plant
turned them on, she said; "Well. then,
who turns on all the lights in the
sky?" Grandma told her God did that,
Noticing that the new moon was tilted
at a different angle from what she had
noticed before, she said rather disgust
eddy: 'Well. I wish God would take
just q little more time when he turns
on the lights and turn that moon on
straight while he is about it."

Political Quietness

War, or something else, has taken
the joy out of local politics. 1t is
lacking the pep and punch that it ct
one time possessed. 1t may not be
war that is responsible. nevertheless
there is scarcely no greater a num-
ber at county convention now than
there used to be at a precinct caucus
Something's happened
1t is net war directly that has
caused politics locally to be SO mild
but then war indirectly has caused
prices to go up so much that the nv
erage salary of an office Is not as
good as the ordinary job a person is
able to get without making q race.
That has something to do with it at
least.
Politics is a thing. however, that
every American citizen should inter
est himself in. and he should always
exercise his right of franchise no
matter what and when the election.

GOOD UPLAND CROPS

The rains during July have visit
ed about every section of tho south
and eastern part OF Colorado, and
most every section of the unirrigated
uplands has been given some mois-
ture. The rain of last Sunday was
very general and as result there
will be some excellent dry land
crops, and especially corn. The corn
had been looking good even before
that rain and since then it is coming
elong much finer. and most of the
acreage has a good yield assured.

GARDENS LOoKIN GOOD

The gardens have overcome the ef-
fects of the hail Of the early part OF
July and most of them now look as
if they had mover been hail beaten.
The damage done to vining plants,
however, was more than some of
the fields and patches could over
come. Many of the cantaloupe vines
which looked good a few days after
the hail were split and so damaged
that they cannot produce many mel
ons.

considered one of the most important
positions in the batting ORDER but the
managers of today do not seem to look
at 1t In that light, for there are few

steady hitter, but must have the
ability to wait out the pitcher and has
to have speed. These qualifications
are necessary, which makes 1t diff

of this kind means an awful disap-

HERE ARE THE REASONS

The Cleveland Plain Dealer today
in summing up the records Of the two
candidates for president, favors the
election Of James M. Cox for the fol.
lowing reasons.
I. Because his record as governor
OF Ohio promises a type Of executive
leadership at Washington which the
American people have come to expect
and to desire. No such leadership can
bo reasonably anticipated by the cleo
ton Of Mr.. Harding.
2. Because the influences behind
the Cox candidacy are progressive,
while the Harding candidacy is tri-
umph for Old Guard strategy. The Is.
sue here is fairly drawn between pro-
gress and reaction.
8. Because the election Of Senator
Harding would be a victory for that
senatorial "olisarchy" which threw
the peace of the world into politics
and seeks to put into the White
House a man who will be subservient
to the Penrose.Smoot faction of the
Republican party.
4, Because Gov. Cox favors going
into the League Of Nations, while
Senator Harding--if one may read a
tangible policy into the oddly tangled
reasoning Of the Marion front porch.
er-is opposed to the present league
In any form. This Is the leading is.
sue Of the campaign SO far, and we be
ileve that the governor best repre-.
sents the American attitude Of histil-
lty to needless war In his espousal OF
the present league.

scRAPPINc THE LEAGUE

Having finally made up his mind
on the question, Harding says he
would scrap the league of nations.
But, realizing that public senti-
ment demands that America keep
faith with the allies and that league
to preserve the peace of the world Is
necessary, he offers a substitute OF
his own
He would have all the nations with
draw from the present league; nego-
tiate new treaty with Germany and
unite in an association of nations"
devised by himself and his associates
of the senatorial oligarchy.
Senator Harding thinks. perhaps
that such an undertaking will be easy
OF accomplishment. But would It?
Scrap the league, get 'em all to-.
gether, go over all the ground again
and organize a new one! Easy?
Maybe this same thought occurred
to candidate Harding, as he suggests
that this country is already member
of The Hague Tribunal. and he thinks
maybe, by inserting few teeth" it
might answer the purpose Of league.
Harding's consistency is really fun
ny, II 1t were not SO serious mat
ter. Here he is wanting to put teeth
into The Hague Tribunal and have 1t
function as an Association Of ma.
tions," and at the same time insisting
that what the real league of nations
needs is to have It's teeth extracted,
SO as to remove the danger of involv-
ing this country in war, as he thinks.
Really, what kind of league does
the senatorial oligarchy and its can
didate want? Some kind of wishy-
washy affair that means nothing and
that they think will satisfy the de-
mand for a real league?
Realizing that public sentiment is
1against them, the Republican man
ayers have become desperate, and af-
ter numerous conferences, they have
rtecded to organize league OF their
own and their candidate has made
public their proposal.
He announces that by salvaging
part OF the machinery of the league
of nations and adding 1t to The Hague
Tribunal, he thinks they could build
IAN effective instrumentality of en-
during peace" But, he doesn't know
for sure and furthermore, he hasn't
the least idea what view other na.
tions may take of his scheme.
Then, he says, II the league Is so
interviewer with the peace of Europe
that It's good must be preserved
to stabilize the peace OF that conti-
nent, then 1t can be amended or re-
vised so that we may Aill have a
remnant of world aspirations In 1918
bullded into the worlds highest con-
ception Of helpful cooperation in the
ultimate realization"
And that, in the ultimate, would be
returning to normally"

ASTRONOMY STILL AT FAULT
Men Of Science Forced to ADMIT Exact
Results From Their Calculations
Are Not Possible.

The celebrated observatory at Green
wich, the place from which we reckon
longitude, was founded by Charles II
in 1875, mainly for the purpose Of in
vestigating the movements Of the moon
in the interests of navigation. Although
in the intervening two and half CEN
turtles astronomers have worked at the
problem, the moon has not yet become
entirely amenable to their mathemat-
les. In a recent report Of the obser-
vatory at Greenwich attention Is in
vited to the increasing deviation be-
tween the calculated position Of the
moon in the sky and it's real position
shown by the Greenwich observations.
The deviation has lately been growing
in serious manner. The error last
year was more than, twelve times as
large as the error twenty years ago,
and the average annual increase dur
ing the two decades has amounted to
half q second of arc in longitude. The
reason that astronomers have failed
in getting exact results from calcula-
lions based on the dynamical laws Of
gravitation is possibly the existence
of some attractive force that they have
not yet discovered, although the result
may also be affected by the true shape
of the earth, which still awaits &C.
curate determination.

CORSET FIRST WORN By MEN
Garment Now Almost Exesusive'y
Feminine Shown to Have Been
Made for Norman King.

The corset as such has not always
gone by that name. First mention OF
the word is found in the household
register of Eleanor, countess Of Leices-
ter, May "a, 1855. and the person for
whom the garment was made was
Richard. king Of the Normans. An
other pair is mentioned at the same
time as intended for Richards son,
Edward. Which would seem to prove
that corsets were originally used for
men as we'll as for women.
Some authorities claim that the
word corset is from the French word
corps, the body, and serrer Ito tighten,
inclose or incase). This may have
been a corruption or diminutive form
of the single word "corps," which was
formerly written "cors." or the name
may have been taken from a rich ma
terial known as corse, which was at
one time extensively used for its max
ing. About the year 1900 the corset
is referred to as 'stays" in England.
The word bodice was not infrequently
spelled bodies by old authors and was
used to designate the garment now
known as the corset.
