DAD FULGHUM TAKES A
"FALUr OUT OF SOME OTHERS

Now since everybody has got about
all of the Tea Pot Dome scandal they
care for, what is the result? While
Congress and Washington seems to be
all worked up over it, the average
voter takes about as much interest in
it as he would dog fight. He simply
says more politics" and goes on
about his business. Nobody yet
seems to know just how much money
Fall really did get but there doesn't
seem to be any question that he did
deliver the goods Ito Sinclair).
But how about McAdoo and the rest
of the bunch? They admit they got
the money" but did not deliver any
thing. They sure must have looked
awful to Mr. Sinclair.
McAdoo says he got s15O,00O as a
retainer fee.' Some retainer fee,
that! But does he appear now as Mr..
Sinclairs attorney? Not that we have
seen yet! Neither have we seen
where he hands that one hundred and
fifty thousand back to Mr.. Sinclair. 1t
would look now as if he had gone back
on the deal, and proposes to wash his
hands clean of the whole thing lex
cept of course the $15O.OOO) Really is
it any more of a crime to rob the gov
eminent than it is to rob an individu-
al? One is a case of misplaced con-
fidence by the government and the
other misplaced confidence by Mr..
Sinclair.
Now to close up this Tea Pot Dome
scandal, and put nice finishing touch

to it, Sinclair ought to sue the whole
false pretenses," and sue Congress
for SANDER.
l see now that it is the opinion of
some that Fall will be the goat, and
everybody else go free. One writer
says if that should be the case why
not run him for president. The PEG
pies sympathy is always with the "un-
der dog" That would sure be joke!
But really would he be any more of a
joke than McAdoo? l don't think so.
One Washington correspondent pro-
poses that both of the old parties have
regular house cleaning and give the
people an entirely new deal. That
might be good thing but the aver
age voter is getting a little wiser
every year and many of them will
say, "a new deal all right, but the
same old deck"
Politics is surely getting pretty
badly unused up right now, but maybe
it will all come out in the wash. But
it is oil this time, and it is going to
take lots of soap. And right now,
don't you you know, the Dear People
are beginning to look at party plat
forms with a great deal of suspicion
And they certainly have a right to,
for party platforms are very much
like seine, which you know is made
for the sole purpose of catching the
ftr-I
pick out the big ones (for the Job
and throw the rest back in the stream,
roll up the platform and lay it away
until you want some more fish.
The Democratic seine was shot to
pieces so bad four years ago, they are
going to have to make an entirely
new one. The old one is not worth
fixing.

NEW MARQUIS WHEAT

We have grown this variety for a
number Of years, and is improving
right along in gain of yield and all
other good qualities, and for this eli
mate, and under our conditions we
have never found any other wheat
quite SO well suited for this section
OF the country.
The straw is of medium height, very
rigid and stiff, and will stand up be-
fore any wind or rain storm. The
berry is a deep amber in color. plumb
and round, and flour mills will pay
25c more per 100 VT than for any
other wheat on account of being able
to mill more flour out of it, and as it
is hard wheat it is not surpassed by
any in quality OF flour.
Other good features are: IT ripens
fully two weeks earlier than any other
spring wheat; by the 18th of July it
is ready to cut. We have always
been able so far to mature this crop
with high or flood water, enabling us
to conserve our reservoir water for
later maturing crops or alfalfa. 1t is
early red Fife and the early India
wheat at the Experimental Form at
| OTTAWA, Canada. We believe it is the
| coming wheat for the Rocky Mountain
district, and it can not be too highly
| recommended. rs lbs. of grade seed
to the acre makes a splendid stand,
and like any other wheat 1t likes a
well fined and firm worked down seed
bed and should be planted as early in
the spring as the soil will permit it to
be worked. When headed out and in
full bloom it should have its last
and only light irrigation, no more
water been needed after that.
If space would permit much more
could be said in favor of this excel
lent variety Of wheat

Name Worried Curate

was named Ethelbert, but was
not christened in this country. and
from year to year that formal cere-
mony was postponed until had
reached the ripened age of twelve. I
suppose that my father was waiting
for the time when my godfather, Maj.
William Appleton, should come to Eng
land; but the time arrived when at
Saint Margaret's at Westminster,
was christened. The curate who took
me through my course was very much
worried over my name, Ethelbert. I
suppose he had some idea that in
heaven I might be mistaken for boy.
He asked me very graciously If I would
not take the Christian name Of Mary,
so there would not be any mistake on
that score I was confirmed by Bishop
rngraham at Saint Paul's, most beau

In France, "the land of queer ami
mai pets" the Siamese cat has just
come along as the latest fad to dis
place the crazy-looking French poodle
In popularity.
The Siamese cat, with its blue eyes
and fawn coloring, fits well into the
general scheme of certain oriental
fashions and colorings in home fur
nishipgs now in vogue here. and is a
very chic and strange pet indeed.
The French also like 1t because of
Its daintiness In the matter of food.
A gourmet is liked here, and ST.
amese cat Is such a gourmet" that 1t
would die rather than eat vulgar food.
1t is also an aristocratic animal,
Its aloofness from other animals being
so elegant as almost to account for
the present phase of cat worship.
Partisan dealers in domestic pets
are turning their attention from the
poodle to the Slamese cat and are
reaping harvest while the craze
lasts.
