AGED Twins GIVE
RECIPE FOR LONGEVITY

Woodville, Ohio-(A. P.)-William
II. Sr, and Henry Bruins, eighty-eight
years of age, who claim the distin-
ction of being the Oldest living twins
in the United States and who recent
ly celebrated theif 88th birthday here
after being residents of this village
for almost sixty years, give the fol-
lowing recipe for longevity:
Hard work-and plenty of it.
Taboo tobacco.
Don't worry or fret
Smile at trouble.
Regular meals and sleep.
Live the Golden Rule.
The biggest thing in life, they say,
is keeping busy" and they have ac-
cumulated a tidy fortune by doing 1t.
A man without ambition is worse
than a man without a country, in
their opinion.
Neither twin has ever ridden in
an automobile, they said.
Starting in business in 1854 in a
general store, William was on the
job every day, except for an OCCASION
al illness, until December 7, 1918,
when fire destroyed the establish
ment.
Henry was his clerk one year,
then his partner, and then launched
in business for himself, building
gristmill in 1865. In this business Henry
also established a record for work,
being on the job continuously until
1921, when fire retired him.
Since quitting the store and mill
the twins have devoted their time to
their extensive land holdings here,
visiting their farms almost daily and
helping do the chores and other odd
and end jobs
Born in Hanover, Germany, Febru-
ary 4, 1884, the Bruins brothers came
to America at the age of eighteen
years.
Both are married and have fami-
les

HIGHWAY WORK TO
COMMENCE SOON
DISTRICT ENGINEER TELLS OF
CONSTRUCTION PLANS-PUT-
TING IN CONNECTING LINKS.

Work on the two miles of grading
and the three miles OF surfaclng,
which will complete the North and
South highway between this city and
Viola, will be commneced within the
next three weeks, according to Will
liam Osborn, of Lewiston, district en-
gineer for the bureau of highways,
who was in the city Friday to look
after some maintenance work on the
highway and to size up the Viola
road, with a view to getting Work
started as early as possible.
The highway was graded last sea-
son from Viola to a point with two
miles of the paving north OF the city
and surfaced to within three miles
The work contemplated will connect
up with the Moscow paving. Mr.. Os-
horn estimates that about 12O days
will be required to complete the job.
This will give a surfaced road from
Lewiston to Viola, a distance OF ap-
proximately As miles.
Big Road Building Program
The district of which Mr. Osborn
is in charge comprises the counties
of Lewis, Clearwater, Idaho, Latah
and Nezperce The years building
program for these five counties calls
for the expenditure of $1,25O,000.
Contracts have been let, or will be
within a few days, for the entlre
stretch of road between Cottonwood
and Lewiston, a distance of about 40
miles, completing stretch OF the
North and South highway from Cot
tonwood to Viola, distance OF al
most 100 miles. The only section OF
the halfway in this district not under
construction this year is strip be-
tween Cottonwood and Grangev1lle.
The road will be completed between
Grangeville and Whitebird The en-
tire North and South highway, Mr..
Osborn predicts, will be completed by
1925 and will, he says, be of inesti-
mable value to tie state. When the
road is completed it will be but a nice
days drive between Boise and Lewis
ton or, you might say, Boise and
Moscow.
Winter Damage Slight
Mr.. Osborn states that the roads
have come through the winter in ex-
ceptionally good condition. The
ground remained frozen and covered
with snow until late, and drifts which
remained until very recently prevent
ed travel, until most Of the dirt roads
were sufficiently dry so that they
would not rut The drags are being
used wherever possible, and as a re-
suit the roads are ironing out nicely,
and will not be in the miserably
rough condition usual during the
spring.
While here Mr.. Osborn arranged
with local business men who have ad
vertising signs along the highway to
have them removed at once, as ad-
vertising signs are not permitted by
the highway department on the right
of way.

cisiohs. Do you still believe in thatp

(3) Do you still believe, as you so repeatedly
and emphatically declared in 1914, that the Re
publican party has been, and is now, the party OF
special privilege in Colorado, and is drawing its
campaign sustenance from the great corporate an i
public utility interests of this state2 If this is not
true now when was the Republican party redeem
eda And did Mr.. Phipps, the Pittsburg steel mag
nate, and Tyson S. Dimes and Charles S. Thomas,
the Colorado attorneys for the Standard Oil inter
ests the gentlemen who are now so extravagantly
financing your campaign in Newberry fashion,
have anything to do with its redemptionp
(4) You say that the present Colorado military
organization, including the rangers is satisfactory
and economical, and you pledge yourself if elect
ed to perpetuate the same. The records show that
during the last two years of the Shoup administra-
ton the expenditures for the maintenance of this
military organization have been as follows

Is this the same sort of economy you expect to
accomplish in the other departments of the state
government. if you elected governor2
(5) In your campaign speeches you are telling
the people that the expense of the rangers is
than Offset by consequent savings on the national
guard. If this be so why was more than twice as
much spent on the national guard during the past
two years as during any previous biennial period9
(6) You are telling the people that the rangers
relieve the national guard of expensive and dis
agreeable strike duty. If that be so why was the
guard twice modified since the existence of the
rangers and called into service once last year in
southern Colorado and again this year in northern
Coloradoa
0) You profess to believe in the fundamental
principles OF our government az set forth in the
of the United States Those great charters are
founded upon the freedom of the people and the
right to local self-government. Can you harmonic
these fundamental principles of Americanism
which mean government by the people, for the
people with your plan of government by the rang
ers for the corporationsa
(0) At an expense of thousands of dollars your
campaign committee have placarded the state with
posters printed with your picture and your cam
paisn slogan, Peace for Colorado" Do you mean
peace enforced by the rangers according to the old
Russian plana If not what will there be for the
rangers2

Milford Grange

On Saturday, February 25, Milford
Grange celebrated Young Patriots
Day" with very interesting program
by the children. 1t is the custom of the
Grange to give a patriotic program
each year, the last Saturday of Febru-
ary, in memory of the two presidents,
whose birthdays come in this month.
These days are enjoyed by the older
people as well as by the children.
After the children's program we
were favored with an interesting and
instructive paper on birds by Miss
May Watson. Miss Watson has made
a study of birds and it was treat to
have her tell us of the many ways in
which birds are the friends Of the far
mer. This is a subject worthy of stu
dy by all of us and steps should be
taken to provide for their protection
by law.
After the program the refreshment
committee took charge and served
cherry ice cream and cake.
On March 4th the regular meeting
of the Grange will be held in Owls
Hall at 2 p. m. After the business
meeting Worthy Master and Mrs. Peet
will give us an account of the Agri-
cultural Conference, which they at
tended in Washington. This is sure to
be treat and everyone should make
an effort to be present.

About fifty persons assembled in
the New Century Club rooms last Fri
day evening at the invitation of Mil
fords new Chamber of Commerce and
listened to a talk given by Mr.. c. M.
Freeman, Secretary of the Chamber
of Commerce of Salisbury, Md. The
talk given by Mr.. Freeman was to the
point, and enlightened the audience
upon the subject of such an Organiza-
ton. He told of what had been ac-
complished in the Maryland city, and
gave his views as to what he thought
could be gained by Milford from such
civic organization. Many valuable
pointers were gained by those who
are working hard for the success of
Milford's new Chamber of Commerce,
and these have been already put to
good advantage.
Following the talk of Mr.. Freeman
an invitation was given to any per-
son present who so desired to become

merce. Twenty-eight men signed up
for membership. Charles 3. Varney,

WOMAN'S SUFFRAGE
FIRMLY ESTABLISHED
The UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT
DECIDES IT EFFECTIVE In STATE
THAT DID MORTALITY IT.
RULING WAS UNANIMOUS
CHALLENGE CAME FROM MARYLAND
WHERE THEY SOUGHT TO PREVENT
WOMEN REGISTERING.

The decision uphOlding the consti-
tutiOnality of the Woman's Suffrage
amendment handed down Monday rep
resented the unanimous ruling of the
U. S. Supreme Court.
The challenge came from the State
of Maryland, where Oscar Lesser and
others sought to prevent the registra-
ton of two women as qualified voters
in Baltimore. Lesser and his associ-
ates contended that the Constitution
of Maryland limited suffrage to men;
that the Legislature of Maryland had
refused to ratify the woman's suffrage
amendment, and that the amendment
had not become part of the Federal
Constitution. The Maryland State
courts sustained the amendment.
The contention that an amendment
to the Federal Constitution relating
to additions to the electorate cannot
be made without the consent of the
State, the court disposed Of by refer
ence to the fifteenth or equal suffrage
amendment, declaring that zone can
not be valid and the other invalid" It
pointed out that the validity of the
Fifteenth Amendment had been recOg-
nized for half century.
The suggestion that several of the
thirty-six states which ratified the
Nineteenth Amendment had provis-
ions in their State Constitution which
prohibited the Legislatures from rati-
flying, could not be entertained, the
court stated, because the State Legis-
lature derived their power in such
matters from the Federal Constitution
which 'transcends any limitations
sought to be imposed by the people of
a state"
The remaining objection, that the
ratifying resolutions of Tennessee and
West Virginia are imperative be-
cause adopted in violation of legisla-
tive procedure in those states may
have been rendered "immaterial," the
court declared, by the subsequent rat
ificatiOn of the amendment by Con-
necticut and Vermont. The conten-
tion was disposed of however, on a
broader ground, the court stated, add
ing that the Secretary of State having
issued a proclamation of the ratifica-
tion of the amendment by the Legis-
latures of thirty-six states, the amend
ment to all intents and purposes has
become a part of the Constitution.
AS Tennessee and West Virginia had
power to ratify and had officially noti-
fed the Secretary of States that they
had done so, their action was binding
upon the secretary, and upon being
certified by that official, had become
conclusive upon the courts.
The court announced in disposing of
the case, which had been brought on
appeal on a writ of error, that it |
granted the petition of the parties for |
a writ of certiorari, but the decision |
Monday so thoroughly disposed of the |
objections urged, there seemed in the |
opinion of court officials no probable
ity that any argument could be pre-
sented which could cause the court to |
change its views.
