A little less than month now and the primary will be held and the can- didates will be thinned down to one in hill. If campaign activities have been scattering heretofore there will be the greatest possible activity shown from now until election day. Candi- dates are still finding it hard to get large hearings at speaking appoint ments, but this may be due to lack of time and great multiplicity of can- didates rather than to a lack of inter- est. In justice to himself and the in- terest of the state the voter should obtain all the informa tion possible that he may select the very best possible man. Selection is responsibility that rests upon us, and is one of the highest duties of the citizen.

TO COLLECT ALL ARMS
Mexican Officials Plan to Crate an
 Atmosphere of Peace.

Laredo, Texas, July 1O-As pre- cautionary measure against any unjus- t:fied acts on the part of civilians as a result of any political movement or excitement and to provide against un- necessary boodshed as result ot such act, the military and civil au- thorities of Neuvo Laredo, Mexico have jointly issued an order requiring all civilians of that place to surrender tEeir arms and ammunition, for which they shall receive a receipt from the authorities,
 The order also provides that all soldiers of the Nuevo Laredo garrison shall leave their arms at the cuartel when not on duty.
 A similar ruling applies to police and other officers. This is done mere y as precautionary measure, it is said, and not because of any unusual developments, present or pending, and is more to restore an air of confidence among the people that peace has come to Mexico at last and that all should join in the movement to promote that condition.

The lady president of the ", c. T. U. has created quite diversion for the space writers by stating that the time hes arrived when matrimonial selec- tions should be made by science. Quite a lot of argument is advanced to back up a pretty theory, but now how is science going to put it over when a guy is dead gone on a girl, and she is sweet on him? True lot of marriag- es have been made that didn't turn out we'll. but most of them have, and we have a notion that the old fashioned methods of mating will still persist.

Wasps Are Wise and Vain;
Know All About Aviation;
Keen on Air Resistance

Who would be a wasp? The bees get
all the credit! But our affection for
bees is largely cupboard love. due to
the honey they provide us with. and
the wasp has virtues which few people
trouble to recognize.
Wasps are wise, declares a writer In
London Answers. It Is doubtful
whether any action in a beehive is
more sagacious than the action of a
wasp when he has killed bluebottle,
and is faced with the problem of car.
fying him home. He carefully cuts of
the legs and wings, leaving the body Of
its victim quite compact.
Why does he do this? To save weight
when flying home with the booty? Not
at all. The wasp knows all about avia.
tion, and he gets rid of the legs and
wings of the bluebottle to reduce air
resistance!
Wasps are strong as well as wise.
They can carry a weight equaling 40
bluebottles. They are also more friend.
ly than one imagines. rarely stingine
without good cause. But they are
vain. for yellow and black are their
favorite colors. And, when all is said
and done. they are nuisance!

Students Of Flight of
Birds Give Gull Title
Of master Of the Air"

A student Of the flight of birds is
inclined to give the title of master OF
the air" to the gull, which often fol.
lows ship at sea and lives on the
scraps thrown from the galley. No
other bird, he says. performs such
seemingly impossible feats of flight OF
looks so completely at home in the air
Sometimes. by the perfect adjustment
OF their bodies, the gulls will poise on
outstretched wings and appear to defy
the laws of gravitation by remaining
perfectly motionless; or. again, they
may be seen moving without a single
visible effort. straight against a gale
OF wind. Their flight is altogether
different from that of the Caspian tern
which is as graceful as 1t is unusual
unlike that of any other birds, wheth.
er of sea or land" says some one who
has watched the terms, at reminds one
little Of the high. apparently uncer.
tain flight Of large-winged butterfly !;
and 1t is in perfect harmony with the
Idea Of being where life is spent
amid wind and mist and fiuctuatIne
wave."

Post Offices Liken Unto
Miniature Barnyards as
Farmers Ship by Mail

Cat calls and barks of penned-up
CANNES will mingle with the Growing
of fowls in the country post offices In
the near future. Live things of noisy
age may now be sent by rural parcels
post as a result Of the new ruling Of
of the postmaster general, extending
the service which heretofore has re-
5ected live things except germs in
sealed bottles, and one-day-old chicks.
The new service Is confined ex-
clusively to rural motor vehicle routes
and country motor express routes and
then only when delivery can be effect
ed on the route where mailed or on a
connecting rural motor vehicle truck
route or country motor express route"
Interpretation Of this ruling does not
permit the receiving Of fowls and live
animals for shipment between cities
where delivery by train and numerous
landings would be necessitated. De-
livery must be made within 4S hours.
Fowls and animals must be carefully
and securely Grated.

Our faulty distribution of food
stuffs and other necessaries of life is
responsible to considerable degree
for high prices to consumers. Official
investigations show that it costs as
much to deliver farm products from
railroad terminals at New York to city
consumers as to ship them by rail
from points as distant as Buffalo, or
to deliver a ton of coal in Chicago
as ito ship 1t from the mines in SOUTH
ern Illinois.
High Cost Of Hauling.
On the other hand the cost Of haul
ing products from the farm to the
shipping points and to take manu-
factured goods back TO the farm is
double or triple what 1t need be. These
transportation costs at both ends OF
the rail haul must be added to the
prices charged for farm, and factory
products and the consumer pays the
freight"
Rail and water haul are the cheap
est forms Of transportation and there
Is no prospect of any substantial re-
duction of freight charges. The only
possibility Of lowering the cost of
materially lies in the
