Today is election day and so far as
We can see, the Republican party wins
a great victory For it looks to US as
If the Republican bosses had nominated
the principal actors on the Democratic
ticket. Put them up for slaughter.
And even if some of the Democrats
should be elected, they are only Repub-
hcsns in disguise.
Charlie Thomas stands a fat chance
to lose his vote He went down to Gal
lup to meet Mrs. Thomas who is on her
way home to vote. Then the big storm
came and we don't know whether they
can get home or not.
The new baby over at Taylor Wilker-
sons seems to like Montezuma He is
not growing very fast, but then he is
such tiny little fellow.
The Hallow cen party over at the
school house was a success so far as the
pleasure part was concerned But the
committee came out at the little end of
the horn, and the storm made the home
going very unpleasant. Several cars
were marooned in the mud
T. c. Bennett left Wednesday of last
week on visit to his old home in Iowa,
and to visit with his family who are at
present in the San Luis valley where
Ralph is teaching school.
Creighton Rauh cut his visit short in
order to get home in time to cast his
first ballot. Val drove to town through
the storm and mud to meet the train
and bring him home.
We think that either election day or
the weather ought to be changed. We
have never seen an election day since
we came to the valley that we did not
have to plow six miles through the
mud to vote.
Mrs. Gernt and her three children
expect to leave for their home in Den
yer today. They have been visiting
with Mrs. Gernt's daughter, Mrs.
Clarence Butler. for several weeks and
the children have been attending the
Lakeview school
Myron kruse went down to Durango
Monday to take care of his honey.
Not many people realize that Monte
yuma county ships several car loads of
honey every year besides what we
consume at home.

Mother Endearments.

A baby needs love and cuddiing
lust as ii needs its mothers milk, OF
baths, or clean clothes. The age-old
mother endearments are the truest
wisdom. They coax the awakening
baby soul as the sun coaxes out the
wild flowers in the springtime. They
give zest to baby life, and without
that zcst babies grow listless and stu
pid. and many of them fade and die

Ways to Clean Books.

Speaking of books, most family IL
braries are distigured by one or two
once-lovely volumes in impractical
bindings of pale silk or white leather,
long since dimmed by CRIME. Art gum
or soft kneaded eraser may clean
them. If not, try fine powdered pumice
lightly applied with clean chamois.

And strange as it may seem, the amateur medics, with the kindly assistance of a few internes, succeed ed in putting Heinz's works together so well that nearly everything match ed up and there were but two or three minor fragments left over.
 When Heinz had become able, the doctors had let him out for few hours each day to take a little exer- else through the corridors, and thus it was that he wandered away from the regular halls and into our department.
 We did not know ali this until later, however, for as our department, that of dentistry, Is located in a wing re- moved from the general hospital, we see very little of the patients except those brought to us for treatment.

Aida Barnes critically eyed the pie balanced on her upturned palm; then painstakingly trimmed off the super f1uous crust before sending an appar- ently careless: "Oh. yes-I knew 1t some time ago!" over her shoulder.
 Jane sniffed unbelieving1y, then went out. leaving behind her woman out wardly, calm, but inwardly raging. She understood pefectly lanes object in coming and resented it with all the force of her proud nature.
 "Humph!" she muttered. Little she cared about my coming to that sale! She just wanted to see how I'd take Henry's marriagei But she didn't get much satisfaction out of it, I guess!

 Aida put out slim hand to meet the warm grasp of the older woman, who, after expressing her pleasure at meeting any friend of "Henry's" began looking over the articles on sale. She finally turned to her companion, who stood leaning against the table. his eyes frankly fastened on the face of the saleswoman on the other side of 1t.

 At the sight of the dress, Henry's face went white. With a searching look at Aida, he drew the shimmering mass away from his companion with a decided:
 "No, Aunt Gertrude-I'm. going to claim this! And Miss Barnes-Alida you are evidently 1aboring under a mistake. This lady is the wife of my Uncle Henry, for whom I was named.

crossed over to the dental chair, seat ed himself, pointed to the tools lying about and rubbed the side of his face.
 "Aw. why didn't we think of it be- fore," growled my partner. "Of course, he has something the matter with his teeth or he wouldn't come here. All we need do Is examine his grinders, find what is wrong and fix it. A good dentist doesn't have. to be told what the trouble is. Gee, we are a couple of nuts"
 So Richards set out to discover something. All doubt had now van- ished from his mind; he was master of the suituation; again down to his calm, collected self and operating at his profession.
 In a very business-like manner he pried the victims jaws apart and looked in.
 Dirty" he muttered. "1Il clean them up first so I can see what they look like"
 It was a slxillful operation and quickly performed. When finished Heinz looked in the mirror, grinned at himself and noted that his features had been improved. Then he grinned at Richards and nodded his head to show that all was going well, but on second thought looked serious, almost astonished, and again rubbed his face
 "Uh-huh, toothache?" said Richards nodded his head at the patient and rubbed his own face in reply.
