Unless all signs fail. the Democratic

full of us had anticipated"
That Is the gst OF message from
John w. Davis, Ambassador to Eng
land during the administration OF
Woodrow Wilson, To Il. +. DUNLAP. of
Hinton, the Democratic state chairman
who Is now busily engaged in laying the
INES Tor a successful campaign in
West Virginia in the general election
next November.
The manner in which the Republi-
can party has administered the power
entrusted Ia 1t for the last three years
has unqueStionably disappointed the
country, and the signs Of coming retri-
hutlon are evident on every hand" con
tlhueS Mr.. Davis. Nothing but in
activity on our own part can prevent
us from gaining control of the next
house of Representatives as Il stepping
stone to complete victory in 1924. l
congratulate YOU, therefore. on getting
To work to see that the organization is
In shape to take care Of its onporuui-
ties"
Just after this message was sent by
Mr.. Davis. news dispatches from Wash
ington contained the information that
senatorial boOkmaker was LAYING
odds that at least nine Republicans in
the senate would not be returned I'm
the next Congress"
This story
"A sporting gentleman of no particu-
lar political affiliations was willing to
wager certain odds that at least nine
of the present Republican senator's
would not he In the senate after next
March A." Odds were offered that such
Republican leaders as Henry Cabot
Lodge, Massachusetts; Harry s. New,
Indiana; Joseph S. Frelnghuysen, New
Jersey; William NJ. Calder, New York
and Joseph l. France, Maryland, would
not be returned.
Republicans Immediately laid the
story at the door of the Democratic
executive committee but Cordell Hull,
the Democratic national chairman,

The Democratic National Commit

Republican senator's said Chairman
Hull. 1--WE expect to make substantial
inroads upon the Republican majority
in the senate, but we have not reduced
this to betting basis. can say
positively and truthfully that such Il

This same sentiment of impending
disaster for the Republicans is reflect

Hides Lower, Shoes Higher.

Although hides have reached point
of less value than in 1913, the cost
of boots and shoes remains exceed
ingly high, according to figures made
public by the Department of Com
merce.
With the 1918 wholesale prices es-
tablished as normal" or at an index
point of 100, the department figures
show that hides, green sailed, were
at an index value of 90 in January
that calf hides, calfskins, were at 10;
that leather, sole, hemlock, was at l2l,
and that leather chrome calf and so on,
was at 173.
The wholesale price on boots and
shoes, mems black calf, blucher, how
ever, continued at the index figure
of 217.
In other words, although the farm
ers are getting less than the 1918
price for their hides, the consumer is
paying II per cent more for his shoes
than he did in 1918.

The Camel.

The camel is one of the most USE
full animals.
1t was one Of the earliest animals
to be domesticated.
The camel is one Of the very few
quadrupeds that cannot swim.
A camel can find sufficient food
where other animals would starve.
The flesh OF the young camel re-
sembles veal, and is favorite food
Of the Arabs.
An ordinary camel will carry its
pack rs miles day for three days with
out water.
The average life OF the camel is
twice that Of the horse. 1t reaches
its full growth when about l6 years
old.
The Monaghan camels are very
powerful and vicious. Their bite gen.
orally induces blood poisoning, and
their breath is so poisonous that 1t
is said that no camel driver lives
long.

PEOPLE ARE TIRED
OF G. 0. P. NORMALLY
The Democratic Party Is More De-
pendable And Unwilling To Sac
rifice Principles For Victory,
Charleston Speaker Asserts

'SThe people have had enough OF
Republican Normally" and enough OF
distress as a result OF their vote in
1920, and will gladly avail themselves
of the opportunity to put the Demo
cratic ticket back in power" Clyde
Beecher johnson, prominent Charles
ton attorney. told the Democratic Club
of the capitol city ut n recent meeting.
The Democratic party is a depend
able party" asserted Mr.. Johnson, "un-
willing to sacrifice its principles to
stave Off defeat. The Democratic par
ty thinks more of decency and soul
than OF its political power"
The depression of business was
bound to come following the world
war, Mr.. Johnson argued, but the poll.
cies Of the Republican party have
made this depression many times
worse than there was any reason for.
During the war we developed a
machine which was much bigger than
the needs Of this country and ii be-
hooved us to enter into the worlds
trade. Failure to ratify the Versailles
treaty, course adopted for political
purposes and not for the good Of the
country, .angered those nations to
which America might have sold its
goods, and on top of this, deflation Of
currency has put millions of men out
Of employment, caused wide suffering
and distress and forced many firms
into bankruptcy"
He declared that he considered the
failure to ratify the Versailles treaty
as 1.-The greatest crime since the cruel
fixion Of the Man Of Nazareth"
1.-THE Republican party should be
credited with all that Il has accom-
plished," Mr.. Johnson admitted, but
what has il dOne?"

The weight ot his pack being too much for him, 1t was cached about three miles from the scene of the wreck and the aviator returned to the machine, intending to take shelt- CT under it's tail from the rain.
 Before leaving the plane a second time, he set up his moving picture camera, hoping to film the caribou among which he had landed. But they were too far away. Leaving the machine in position, he climbed a nearby hill to see if he could locate trail and, upon looking back, he saw his plane and camera surround ed by a band of TOO or more carl bou. He shot one of the animals and lived on juicy steaks until dis covered by searching party on the following Wednesday. In the mean time, the plane had been completely wrecked by a gale of wind.
 After having killed the caribou, Prest took a quantity of the meat and made another start to find the trail The meat was cooked in primi- tive manner, over camp fire, and eaten without salt or other food. He left the plane on Monday and on Wednesday morning he found the trail and shortly afterward met the searching party headed by Deputy Marshal Dudney. T had lot of fun", was the way the aviator put it in telling The News man of his ex- perience, remarking, in concluding his story, that the trip to Fairbanks, by the river route, would consume three weeks from Eagle. He would have covered the distance by plane in three hours, by the cross country aerial route.
 Prest flew from Los Angeles to Prince Rupert last year, his plane being wrecked at the latter place after he had made a round trip flight to Ketchikan.
