BOTH PARTIES SEEK
BIG CAMPAIGN FUNDS
REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS
NEED MONEY TO PUT MEN
ACROSS. METHODS DIFFER.

The raising of finances to further
the candidates. of their respective
standard bearers is now occupying the
attention of both the Republican and
Democratic national committees, nei-
Their of which have their campaign
finances in any too good condition.
The Republicans, many members of
the party and Democrats feel, made
a big mistake when they committed
themselves to $1,000 as the limit of
the contributions. No such limit will
affect the Democrats, as they can take
any sums they please, but Wilbur
March, democratic national treasurer,
declares the democrats will reserve
the right to refuse contributions from
sources not deemed sufficiently disin-
terested.
Republicans May Need Small Sums.
The Republicans will find it a much
harder task to get 5000 persons to
contribute $1,000 apiece than it is to
get $4,000 people to give 500 each,
it is predicted. The first must be ac-
complished by individual canvass and
the second might be collected through
"a small organization. Before Octo-
Der, many are predicting, the Repub-
licans will make a general appeal for
funds of any size, large or small.
The Democrats may use the same
system which they successfully put in
to operation when confronted with a
deficit after the 1916 campaign. Chain
letters asking for small contributions
were written. Five men would be
asked for small sums, for instance, and
each requested to send in the name of
five other persons who might be inter-
ested in contributing equal amounts.
The Democrats acquired mailing list
of about 100000 names in that man
ner and collected nearly $2,000,000

BIRDS BUILD NEST

AGED NAG PROVIDES GOOD SITE

FIT OF SPARROWS.

NEW HAMPTON. Iowa.-Dobbin,
the old family horse belonging to Cliff
ton Myers, farmer living few
miles south of here, is the equine hero
of the birds about these parts since a
family of sparrows has been reared
in a nest built in his heavy name. The
little birds have been Matched out now
and Myers has combed the nest out
of the old nag's name and kept 1t
for a souvenir of the unusual event.
For more than a score of years
Dobbin was the servant and friend of
the Myers family. In his youth he
drew the plows and cultivators that
put the crop into shape. After he
got little too old for that sort of
work he was used by the women as a
safe and sure, even if slow, horse to
take them to market. Then when the
family invested in an automobile Dob
bin was relocated to the children to
play with. For several years he was
| their faithful old friend and compan-
ion.
But the kiddies soon arrived at the
bicycle age, so Dobbin was put out IN
the pasture to end his days in peace
He soon became very stiff and Grip
pied up from old age and used to
spend long hours gazing motionless
over the fence.
It was about that time that Myers
noticed that the sparrows seemed to
be very friendly with the old nag.

ANIMALS HAVE AN
APARTMENT HOUSE

High cost of building material
and lack of accommodation for
mere man were no deterrents to
F. D. Stringham, of Berkeley,
Cal, who, out of consideration
for his pets, built the animals a
fine apartment house. The pres
emit tenants are apparently well
satisfied, as to date they have
registered no complaints.
The house has four apart
ments, the two on the ground
floor being occupied by A. Bea-
gle and Mr.. Irish Setter and
one on the upper floor by Miss
Persian Cat. The apartment
adjoining Miss Cats is said to be
the only vacancy at present
This is the ideal apartment
house life, the meals being serv-
ed from the Stringham kitchen,
doing away with the servant
problem for the tenants.

fly has been put to the test In his

is eminently fair always, alike to
friend or foe There is not one OF
his enemies who will deny his
fairness in any transaction of his
life. His record as speaker fully
demonstrates this fact.

MIXTURE THAT WILL KEEP
FLIES OFF LIVE STOCK
INGREDIENTS Are Laundry Soap, Wa
ter. Crude Petroleum, Naphthalin.

ter, Cfuoe FetFOIeohi'
The following mixture is very eff
fective in keeping flies off live stock
and its cost is very small:
One pound of common laundry

one gallon of crude petroleum and
four ounces of powdered naphtha-
lin.
Shave the soap in very thin slices
into warm water and stir it until
thoroufhly dissolved. Put the naph-,

stir until dissolved. Pour the soap
and water into the petroleum and
thoroughly mix them together.

6.-Neither of his opponents has
had this actual executive expert
ence. Neither of them has rem
dered any executive service.
Neither of them has shown ability
in bringing about concord between,
and in satisfying, disputants.
8.-The same cannot be said Of
at least one of his opponents, who
is basing his campaign almost
wholly upon bitter attacks upon
weH-known Georgians who do not
happen to agree with him Fair
ness can never come from vltuper-
alton.
10.-One of his opponents has a
long record of critical destructive
ness of opposing and tearing
down, where others have tried to
build. The record of the other is
negative: while he may not have
attempted to destroy, there is moth
ing which he has built.
lat is well known that one Of
his opponents has repudiated the
Democratic administration, and
even now criticises its platform
adopted at San Francisco. He is
running as Democrat, and yet op-
poses the Democratic platform
14.-During practically all OF
these years both of his opponents
have held lucrative offices, one OF
them for Is years and the other
for 20. In these offices they have
earned competent living, while
Mr.. Holder has been put to actual
personal expense in the service
he has rendered to the State.

One day after the civil war a man

by the wayside to talk with a farmer.
Several men were working in the field
and the traveller was interested to
learn that most Of them had been SOL

were some who had been officers.
THAT man over there" said the
farmer, happened TO have been a pri-

corporal; that chap over there was a
major, and over in the next field is
a man who was a colonel"

MENT MUST WIN
That Is the Way That Civil Service
Now Regulates the Appoint
ment of PostmaSters

Nevada has a republican postmas-
ter. Wallace W. Keck, for thirty years
an employe in the Nevada postoffice
and for some time past, assistant post
master. has just been appointed by
President Wilson, over Jack Bean, ed
itor of the Southwest Daily Mall, DEM
ocratic organ of Vernon county Per-
sonally, Bean is one of the most pop
ular men in Vernon county. Keck is
an estimable man, but he is little
known in a public way. Bean had the
solid backing Of the democrats, and
the republican organization would,
under the circumstances, have much
preferred Bean to Keck.
The appointment OF Keck is the fin
al proof to the people of this part of
the state, that when President Wilson
said, at the beginning Of his second
term, that ne proposed to take the
post office department entirely out Of
politics, that, as usual. he meant just

In March, 1917, the President issu-
ed a proclamation, directing that when
a first, second or third class post Of
flee became vacant, the new postmas-
ter should be chosen by examination.
The applicant who got the highest
grade was to be appointed.
Many were the winks and nudges in
political quarters when this drastic
executive order was read. But it has
been carried out to the letter. The
Liberal postoffice became vacant, in
1918. Lonnie Wilson, a republican
applicant, received the highest grade
and was appointed.
Assistant Postmaster Keck got
somewhat better grade than Mr. Bean
and he was appointed.
Mr.. Bean was appointed acting post
master at Nevada, in April. 1918. to
succeed Joe Harper, deceased. The
acting postmaster is named, in such
a case, not by the department, but by
the bondsmen OF the deceased post
