Mrs. J. D. Bennett, Salem, Oregon:
Enclosed please find check to renew
our subscription to the old paper, a
friend for many years. The past year
has been a prosperous year for us and
all other Vernon county folks near
Salem Many from the east have
come lately to Oregon and California
to live. Mr.. Benefits brother, John,
is in Pomona, California, and sister,
Mrs. Ely and family, are located in
Los Angeles We hope to have them
here soon. Oregon suits us all right
and we win be pleased to meet the
Shriners from Viroqua who come to
Portland TO the National convention

kota: We farmers are not at all
pleased with the way things are go
ing in this good new state Of ours
The government is in the hands of a
clique of theroists, socialists and free
lovers, who have enacted every man

industries that has thrOttled and de-
stroyed private industries and so dis
couTaged private capital that many Of
our best people are selling all they
have ard leaving the state. Ny taxes
jumped from $500 70 $500 the last
year, ard when the bonds come due
which are now being floated to main
tain the reckless extravaganza Of the
present administration they viii dou-

not be misled into joining this move
ment which has proven - disastrous
to US. The socialists and neyer-sweats
who do nothing but 20 about for that
purpose are living OF the fat Of their

together. What would be thought Of

Taken Up and Disposed of

The April term of Circuit Court
which convened Monday morning, was
practically zero so far as litigation
extended. Some days ago Judge Hig-
bee ordered that the jurymen drawn
for the term be directed not to appear

said it was the understanding that all
matters would be put over tc the next
regular term except naturalization ap-
plications and three divorce hearings.
Following persons were admitted to
full citizenship, representative of the
government being present, who joined
Judge Higbee in the examinations:
Frank J. Strange, Stoddard; Albert
r. Wrobel, Chaseburg ;Ignatus Urban
Elk, Genoa; Willie Dahlke, Chaseburg;
Thomas Ellefson, Viroqua; Jens OF
tum, Westby. Applications of Tennis
Ostrem, Even Sletten, Joseph Fenola
and Ole Bratten were continued; that
of Albert H. Haroldson was discontin-
ued. The name. of Johannes H. Wig
dahl appeared on the calendar, but he
was admitted to full citizenship while
in the army.
JudgeHigbee admonished applicants
that they should qualify themselves
for citizenship before they are given
the right of suffrage, saying that ev-
cry person ought to be familiar with
the functions of government before
they are permitted to participate in
administering it.

Y HEART and MY HUSBAND . ADELE GARRISCN'S NEW PHASE OF
 RepeIafions of Q Wife
Persistent Fishermen.

A looked back over the three days mich of which l had spent in luxurious and needed rest upon the veranda couch, 1 realized that one boat evidently had been keeping out of the way of the other. The boat nearest to us had moro thttn one" started in the direction of the otnrF one and the second had promptiE pulled up anchor and chugSed lit|- ther away. to come back to it's ori- ginal position later when the hfSt boat was safely out Of the way.
 We had commented upon this fact with lazy nirth. knowing the childish jealousy of fishermen, wondering why the occupants of the first boat had not stood on their \"Gshermcn'S rights" and warned off the others from their favorite grounds. But the infection of Lillian's voice had con veyed to me for the first time ;I pos sible answer to the question. although one so ridiculous, so bizarre. that l persuaded myself almost instantly that I was mista ken and turned m" attention to my father, who, l saw with surprise, was also looking in tently. not at the distant boats, but It LiIlian's face.
 Why Field Glasses:
 Without turning her head. al- though l was sure that she was aware of our scrutiny. she asked casually:
 Who is going to TOW you:"
 "A sturdy daughter of the bay. Mrs. Ticer." my father responded, and her son Jerry. They live about a half-nile from here own 8 good boat. and are very glad to make a little money by taking out fishing parties. DO you girls want to come along"
 What do you say, AIadge?" Li!- lian's voice was so casual. her face so devoid of any unusual expression as she turned to me that I scored my imagination for its folly in suspecting that she saw anything worthy of watching in the maneuvers of the two boats.
 ''Oh, I'd love it:' II returned fer vently. i've been saltwater fishing only two three times and then ! didn't catch anything"
 You'll catch enough today" my father said "Tbe bottle fish and the king fish are simply yearning for the hook, according to my friend, Mrs. Ticer.''
 We'll get ready right away" Lillian arose brisl1ly. We brought some old waterproof things on pur- pose for an expedition of this kind. We'll simply put them on over our bathing suits and wear our bathing slippers and wooden stockings. Then if we get soaked we won't take cold. Come darling.'' to Marion. "change your wet bathing suit for a dry one, giving yourself a brisk rub first.
 ''By the way" she turned to my father. Did you bring any field glasses with you? I have a fancy to see whether I can distinguish the buildings on Shelter Island when we are out in the bay. I have been told that it is remarkable how far you can see things"
 ''I never travel without mine" my father rejoined, land they are entire- ly at your service.''
 "Thank you.'' Lillian said perfume torily while I castigated my imag gina tion again for the wild fancy that it was not the buildings on the island, but the men in the fishing boats she wished to inspect through the field glasses.
