The other state officers are Repub-

Ed TAYLOR on the JOB

Week before last The Herald re-
ferred to efforts to restrain some un-
scrupulous schcmcrs from Jumping"
oil and gas land holdings belonging
to Meeker and White River people.
AS already known, the schemers
were aIuelched: and as usual, Hon.
Edward Il Taylor. our able and hard
working representative In Congress.
was the man who had our legitimate
intrests protected.
Following correspondence throws
full light on the matter:
House Of Representatives
Washington. ID. c., Dec. IS. 1922
Hon. James Lyttle. Meeker. Colo.
Dear Friend jim:
received your letter concerning
your oil claims complication, ana per-
sonalIy went down and presnted 1t to
the Commissioner of the General
Land Office, and he had 1t looked up
and has just written me the enclosed
letter.
1t would seem from this letter that
II you have demOnstratetl-as you sny
you hnve--that the land In question
is known oil and gas producing land.
that that Texas outfit could not get
IL permit to prospect; because no pro-
specting Is necessary. Permits to pros
pect are only Issued for unknown ter
ritory SO that at the hearing. upon
protest OF your people 1t would seem
that the application Of the Texas out
fit will probably be rejected. However
TINT is IL matter that will have to be
tried out. and yOnr attorneys or who
ever represent you In that protest.
will undoubtedly present the facts
fully.
OF course, wherever there Is pri-
vate contest between two OF my con-
stituents. or litigation or controversy
over public land matters. the law pro-
hibits a Congressman from tnkingany
part or butting Into the matter at all.
But. I nm always ready to he Of
service to any and all Of my constitu-
tents In nny way that will not be In
conflict with my duties as n member
Of Congress.
With my kindcst regards and hop
ing that you and yours may have Q
splendid Holiday Season. and many
more Of them, I remain as ever.
Very cordially yours.

Brunswick, Me, Oct 16.-Coach
Fred Ostergren of The Bowdoin Col
lege football team this evening inau-
gurated the first of a series of black
board talks which the varsity squad
will be called upon to attend every
evening from row on until the final
game of the State series.
Kohler. the flashy Massachusetts
boy who easily made a back field
berth the first of the season but who
has not been out for practice during
the past ten DAYS. reported again
this evening and in all probability
will play in the game against Colby
Saturday. Another player to report
today was BiXler, big guard who
broke a finger during the first
weeks practice and who has not
PLAYED since Bxler is a big fellow
but very fast and will unquestion-
ably prove valuable addition to the
team 1t became known this evening
that Hewett. the freshman from Cony
high school who played a remarkable
game at tackle against Norwich had
received a slight conclusion of the
brain in that contest and that he
would not play again this season.
Hewett went home Immediately after
the game SATURDAY. and so it did not
become known that he had been in
iured. The varsity team was given
an hours scrimmage against the
second eleven afternoon, following
which defensive formations for the
Colby plays were practiced.

Modern Dress Causes Mixup

A plump little woman pulled along
about three PAGES behind her hus-
band on one of the upper reaches Of
Palisade trail.
These wonderland she went
through the motion of a certain
Oriental gesture of contempt-"these
women mean nothing to me. What
bothers me most Is that I can't tell
my husband from my sister, law
and my daughters from my sons.
Women as big as my husband and
as my sons climb up the side of the
mountains in the same kind Of
clothes When I call to them, Ma
than,' it is Julia that looks around.
When call 'RebeSca,' it is Levi that
answers me.
No matter how you call in these
days the pants don't tell you the
truth about your own family.
THE same thing Is true about a
street in the city. You can't tell the
boy from the girl any more than YOU
can tell the rich from the poor in a
cafeteria.
II like to see my girls in athletic
clothes, I like to see my boys in
kn1ckerbockers and certainly like to
see their father in an, athletic outfit.
