that any attempt 70 introduce liberal

CONTEST FOR REPRESENTATIVE

The Iron district In the state leg
islature is TO have a red hot, but a
friendly and clean contest this year
for the privilege OF representing II al
Lansing. John p. Curley Is to seek for
the position against Pat 0'Brien. the
well known editor OF the Iron River
Stambaugh Reporter and present eff
cient representative
There isn't any indication, so far,
that the other counties of the district
will furnish candidate so the out
look is that Iron River is to have the
satisfaction of furnishing the fire
works for this contest.
IL is the policy Of newspapers, these
times to give all candidates, where
there is no jeopardy to public interest
threatened by the election OF either
one, equal show at the primaries.
The necessity for this equal show
for all IL more apparent In loo
alities where there Is but one paper
This policy Is going 10 be adhered to
In Iron County and. Notwithstanding
that Mr. o'Brien has the inside track
because he IS a newspaper proprietor
and naturally has the friendship Of
this paper. Mr. Curley will get a
square deal As an evidence OF this
we take the following from Mr.. o.
Brien's own paper. the Iron River
-stambaugh Reporter
One OF the surprises Of the past
week was the announcement OF the
candidacy Of Justice J. p Curley OF
Iron River az candidate for repres-
entative in the state legislature. The
writer. who is the present incumbent
from this district, had been led 10
believe, from information he had re-
ceived from friends at home and
throughout the district, that he would
have no opposition. but he is veteran
enough In the game OF politics 10
know that no man has a mortgage on
any office, no matter how we'll he has
filled that office. so that Mr.. Curley
has Just as much right to get into the
game as the present incumbent or
any other man, and hence, we accept
his candidacy gracefully and viii put
the best scrap we know how to retain
the office the people has so willingly
bestowed on us the past several terms
In another column OF this issue OF
The Reporter may be founed Mr.. Cur
ley's announcement OF his candidacy
and as Il Is a literary gem OF real
merit. especially where Mr., curley Is
best known, we are going to give Il az
much publicity as possible, even

COmb-Like Auto
 Radiator Causes
 Bees to Get Busy

Wamego, Kan, April 1O.-The busy little bee will deposit it's honey in many strange places, but farmer liv- ing near here has just reported the oldest ever heard of in this section. The bees mistook radiator of an au- tomobile as a vacant honeycomb and proceeded to fill it.
 The owner of the car. before the advent of the bees, had occasion to make some repairs, and took the ma chine to his garage, where it was left standing for several weeks. When he cranked the car to test it out. he noticed that there were quite num- Der of bees in the garage, and on the radiator, but he did not pay any at tention to them. He started his car and everything seemed to be running smoothly.
 He had travelled several miles at pretty good clip when the radiator cap blew off without a moments warning. The man stopped the car and stepped out to investigate The water in the boiler was steamng Looking further for the source of trouble. he saw that the bees had filled the radiator holes with honey. shutting off the air and causing the water to turn to steam too rapidly.
