of Baron Wrangel In south Russia.
But the baron is wasting no time. and
late dispatches from Constantinople
say his Dnelper river campaign is max
Ing excellent progress. He had just
captured two Bolshevik battalions, oc-

report that Maxine, the guerrilla lead
er, had deserted Wrangel is confirmed
but several of his bands have been
routed. Semenoff. the Siberian anti
Bolshevik leader, has given his adher-
ence to Wrangel and asked orders from
him.

Coal Famine In Delaware Rural
Schools.

The Newark. Del. Ledger, reports
many schools in the rural districts of New
Castle county are facing a serious situa-
ton because of their inability to secure
coal. A number of them have no coal
whatever in their bins. The coal dealers
in the various territories have reported
no coal on hand with which TO supply the
buildings. In some of the districts
dealers report they have not had any
coal since last spring and are unable to
get any. The dealers and patrons of the
schools in these districts have asked the
county board to write the coal operators
in reference to the seriousness Of the situ-
alton in the hope coal can be secured to
relieve it.
The 10 rural schools of New Castle
county have but eight tons of coal on
hand and only one building is equipped
to use wood.

1t is not only that trees are trees,
That they stand for ages in their
solemn guise,
Their branches swayed with the
melodies
Of the winds of a thousand years
of skies
But under them pass so many things,
The pageants of peoples that come
and go,
The dreams and the hopes and the
foolish fears
Of clans and races and eras of men
Who taste the smiles and the sor-
rows and tears
And go back to the dust again.
You have stood here long, dear anci-
ent oak,
And have seen and known and
spread your boughs,
And heard what the flying ages
spoke,
And listened to untold human
vows;
What changes have come, what
deeds been wrought,
What chapters written in mans
estate,
What treasures of beauty and dream
and thought,
What marvellous epochs of human
History making her records high,
And men made mighty and pass
ing by,
Shadows and shapes and the chang
ing throng--.
And you still standing so firm and
strong!
You keep your counsel, as old men
do,
With so much worthy the telling
too;
But we will not ask, we will be con-
tents
To stand meath your branches and
grasp the view,
And trust that our own lives all the
while
May not be useless, but rather
worth
Some little bit to the world, some
smile
From the lips of men, our broth
ers, who go,
Who come, who are many, and pass
away,
Wishing that we, like tree
could say
AS much of beauty and comfort and
cheer
AS you have said to the world
while here!

MANY WOMEN IN
"ALSO RAN" CLASS

After The Silver State had printed
an account of the successful run by
an Oklahoma female candidate for
Congress, some woman called up and
said she had been informed that Anne
Martin was the only woman candidate
for Congressional honors in the
United States this year. The count
may be of interest to women in gen.
eral, as well as men, Eighteen women
we're entered in the ace for Congress
in the last election, four for the Sem
ate and fourteen for the House, and
only one landed an election. That n
was Miss Alice M. Robertson of Okla
homa, whom The Silver State told of.
She will be a Representative in Con-
gress.
Unsuccessful candidates for the
House were Mary E. Garbut of Cali
fornia, Mrs. Nell X. Irion of Idaho;
Eva Anderson of Illinois. Margaret
Wintringer of Illinois, Hattie T. Harl
of Iowa, Vivian F. Cellar of Michigan,
Mrs. Maria Weeks of Nebraska. Jennie
S. Sharp of New Jersey, Marie Mac
Donald of New York, Fannie l.. Coch-
ran of New York. Cleona Sarles of
Ohio. and Flora j. Diefenderfer of
Pennsylvania
In the contests for Representatives,
six of the women candidates were pro-
hibitionists, three were Socialists. one
a Democrat, N a Republican, and
the remainder were independents.
In further reply to u subscribers
inquiries we said that Senators and
Representatives alike are members
of Congress. A Senator is a Con
gresham" the same as is a Repre-
sentative. They belong to different
branches of Congress. 1t is incor-
rect to speak of a Senator and a Con-
gresham, when one refers to the two
members recently elected to the ma
tional legislature. Furthermore, a
United States Senator is not a repre-
resentative of the state from which
he was elected, and talk of a Senator
representing a state is. legally, nom
sense.

VERY POOR BRAND
OF HUMOR

Every now and then we pick up a
big city daily and find it poking fun
at weekly newspapers, such as are
generally printed in towns the size
of Winnemucca, about running per-
sonals regarding some rancher who
has painted his barn or a miner who
tells of or shows samples of ore of
which he is very proud. And such
alleged humor and cheap jokes get
on our r
Pick up a Sunday newspaper print
ed in any big city and we read the
gush about the costume Miss Jones
wore to the theatre. Read about
Miss Smiths apricot chiffon taffeta
with silver lace and morning glories,
or of Mrs. Robinson and her gown
of lavender net and pink baby ribbon,
and you'll want to step out in the
back yard and throw a fit. The abb
surd thing about the big city daily
is that it picks put some narrow cir
Gle which calls itself the -Four Hun
dred," gives it the name Society"
and ignores the honest, hard-working
people of the place unless they get
into police court.
When you read hat Farmer Smith
has painted his barn you learn that
something has been done to improve
the community and put it on a bet
ter economic basis. But when you
read how the -Four Hundred" are pa
rading around in party clothes or
pajamas-and it doesn't make much
difference with a lot of them-you
read of something that is of no bene-
fit to anyone on earth. On the other
hand, you get a pretty fair idea of
what makes for bolshevism in this
country. But it's a funny old world
we're living in, and possibly it will
never roll around to the time when
the big city dailies realize that for
laughing purposes nothing fills the
bill as well as the mess of slush they
are turning out.
