Washington, Aug. 3.-Insurgency
against the Old Guard in the two
political parties seems both to have
scored and have been scored against
in Tuesdays primaries as belated re-
turns come IN.
In Missouri Breckenridge Long,
backed by the Woodrow Wilson forces
is running a neck and neck race with
Senator James A. Reed and it may
require the official count to determine
the victor, Latest available returns
show Senator Reed leading by about
$4,000 votes, with no report from
nearly 800 precincts, most of which
are in the rural districts where Mr..
Long has averaged majority Of be-
tween Is and 20 to the precinct.
In the Republican Senatorial con-
test William Sachs, the anti-organl-
cation candidate and pronounced
wet, is running r. R. Brewster, the
Administration leader and a dry, a
neck-and- neck race for the G. u.
z. nomination.
West Virginia, on the other hand,
furnishes a measure of comfort for
organization politicians generally.
Senator Sutherland's probable reno
mination is a triumph for the Old
Guard in his party and for the nation
al Administration. NJ. NJ. Nicely, the
Democratic nominee, is of, for and by
the organization.
The Kansas result appears to be
about stand-off. w. Y. Morgan, who
leads for the Gubernatorial nomina-
ton, is an Industrial Court advocate
and in the campaign supported Gov.
Henry Aliens entire program. Rep
resentative Philip Campbell, chair
man of the House Rules Committee
and pillar in the Old Guard orgam-
cation, has been defeated for nomi-
nation by ". H. Sproul, a newcomer
and radical.
Little significance attaches to the
result in Oklahoma. Miss Alice Rob
ertson, the only woman now in Con-
gress, was renominated, but her re-
election is said to be in grave doubt,
She slid in on the Republican tidal
wave of 1920 and represents dis

ocratic. Manuel Herrick, the eccentric

We refer to the sAnne Lee Me-
mortal Home of the Aged. Be
gun only a few years ago with a
capital OF Is cents in the treasury
and a debt of 81 dollars, it has,
since that time, purchased a hand
some four-story building, 0pPe-
site the Chamber of Commerce,
upon which it has spent some S.
900 in improvements.

The essential feature, however,
of the Anne Lee Memorial Home
is the fact that it is a veritable
Home. with an entire lack of the
atmosphere of charity SO often
prevailing in similar institutions.
The result is that the aged gentle
women who are passing their de-
clining years under It's roof, find
themselves among loving friends
and kindly hearts, the tender min
istrations of whom bring cheer
and happiness. Religious services
are held each week and are a
source of great comfort and con-
ISOLATION to all participants.

This summer we expect at least one hun dred employees day to enjoy the pool
 We had expected to open the pool the first of May. but owing 10 the cool weather the opening was deferred until tomorrow. The com pany operates the swimming poG at a tremendous expense. several hum dred dollars month being required but it feels repaid for the expense, as we'll as the trouble. because it gives the employees so much pleasure, as well as an opportunity to become acquainted with one another, de- velop themselves physically, learn to take care of themselves, and even save lives in the water.

This is and exceptionally well rounded comedy drama in which real thrills are admirably combined with the comedy, and TO- nance runs in stady and pleasing thread throughoE~
 A rather unusual character role en- gages the fine talent of pretty Eebe in this new picture, that of girl of Cuba, half Spanish and half American, who is described as having the Span ish fire and the Yankee dash. which in the light of the rather astonish- ing events of the story. proves most accurate description.
 "The Game Chicken" tells an i'm tertaining story of a girl in Cuba, who, surrounded by the conserva- tive atmosphere of a Spanish home, is nevertheless, determined to get a little joy out of life. So to gain the liberty of the masculine sex, she disguises herself as a boy and goes about having the kind of experiences liable to one in such position.
 Later when she has met her mate the entire story moves to a small town and cove on the rocky coast of Massachusettes where there is mystery and thrill in the doings of band of rum smugglers under cover of darkness.

 The state lost both cases in the Montgomery circuit court. It con tends that the company is due the state a penalty for every day it fafl- cd to maintain service and thatrthe public service commission had the light to require it to continue to give the people of the 21 towns tele- graph service.
 The attorney generals department was represented in the arguments by Lamar Field. while the company was represented by Ray Rushton and H. F. Crenshaw, local counsel for the telegraph company. The company in sisted that 1t was necessary to abandon service after it was ordered to vacate the right of way of the Louisville and Nashville railroad and 1t was not physically possible to move the poles and wires to another right of way.
