1t has been lively week in politics.
The buttonhole brigade is working
overtime, and the slate makers and

Of their glory.
Following the visit Of AREN'T we
arc told that Lyon County should
boost his candidacy for no other rea-
boast his candidacy for no other rca-
son than that Samuel is Lyon Coun-
ty man. However the old bugaboo Of
Federal appointments again turns up.
and it is remembered how Mr.. Arcntz
rode rough shod over the wishes and
opinions. not only of tho common
people OF this community. but also
Of the hitherto loyal Republicans. II
is indeed doubtful if he will be given
a majority at the Republican pri-
marics.
For Sheriff, four candidates arc now
definitely in the field. promising All in
teresting contest at both the primary
and general election. Z. f. Raw
son expects to file as candidate for
the republican nomination against
Ralph Bcaman. James j. Kelly is a
candidate for the democratic nomina-
ton and it is thought probable that
Sheriff Randall will oppose Kelly at
the Democratic primaries.
Clark j Guild has decided to forgo
the opportunity of securing scat on
the district bench and is quoted as
having announced his intention OF
seeking reelection as District Attor
ncy. For this office he will have
opposition at the November elections.
]. ANDREW Cutlery being an lndepcn-n
dent candidate.
James y. Bernard. OF Icrington.
will be a candidate for the Republican
nomination for clerk and treasurer.
1t is probable thai Ruel +. Lothrop
will also file for this office. but
whether he will come as an lndcpend
ent or before the Republican primary
IS not known.
For Recorder and Auditor James
f. Barton viii be Il candidate to sue
coed himself i'll all probability will
have no opposition.
Three candidates. and possibly four.
are in the field for County Commits

said TO have al aspiration to sit on

For assembly there will be no

Pittman was expected West last
week to attend the Democratic state
convention, but was delayed bcause oi
threatened maneuvering to defeat the

SERVICE OF WOMEN,
THEME FOR SERMON
Rev. W. II. Burkhardt. D. D..
Points to Work in Every
Great Crisis.

Rev, w. II. Burkhardt. u. n. pas
tor OF Grace Episcopal Church,
spoke yesterday morning, in part.
as follows:
II we begin TO speak of the service
OF women. IL cannot be confined TO
any one branch OF work Al once
we remember her wonderful building
of the home-her sympathy, her 10y
atty. her service for humanity in an
ever-enlarging sphere, the strength
and direction she gave in our
national struggles. and, today we
think OF the women OF the Confed-
eracy in the marvellous way they
lived and died for the cause near
to the heart of so many true South
erners
Ii may be said with perfect truth
that the religious service Of women
is charactcristic OF Christianity it.
SELF. we know the Gospel has raised
women to a higher place than she
ever occupied. Perhaps the realizn-
tion Of this comes to our women to-
day. and. because of il. she is ever
faithful TO the service OF the church.
Among the women who took a
prominent place in the early church
WAS Phoebe. n servant Of the
church" She has n host of followers
today IN the church In numerous
cases band OF faithful women have
saved many churches and kept open
the doors and allowed the Gospe!
free course. / could spend much
time relating instances OF the in
fluence OF women In the past and
III the present. Their part in the
making OF character In the home,
The church and the nation.
would speak for Il moment on the
influence OF women today and ask
the question for yod 10 answer--!f
1t is stronger or weaker?
Dear Christian women, am re-
mnding you Of an enlarged rcspon-
sibiiity for Christian women in this
dag. You are 10 judge for yourself
whether the conditions of life among
our younger people are bId-whcthcr
they a." better today or worse than
year ago. There never was IL
larger life for women than today.
S!h:!ity rs faces you in the present
year.
Your work, your spirit. your at
titude towards things and condi-
lions was never SO clearly In the
iimelight as at this time. Your
homes need real Christian ten
dency upwards.
Your attitude to society and social
life needs careful. earnest thought
and prayer. How are we to meet
the demands Of the age-this trou-
blcd and chaotic agc--and discharge
this responsibility? The answer is.
we must have vision of God That
Is our deepest and most vl.ui need.
Let the scales fall from Your eyes.
See God in the world--sec sin In
your own heart--see the need and
duty and power to live Jesus Christ
In your life.
