 Passing omnibusses rocked like ships in a stormy sea Two were driven backwards by the wind.
 Only two persons were in jured The small casualty list is attributed to the rain which had practically cleared the streets of people.

Republican Administration or
the Republican Party organiza-
ton.
The great accomplishment of
the present Republican admins
tration maintains the high rec
ord of accomplishment of the
Republican administration of the
past, which, with two Interrupt
lions, have lasted for sixty-eight
years of our national existence.
The advancement, progress, and
prosperity of the United States
of America can be largely cred
tied to the successful admins
tration of the Republican Party,
and that record of the party in
the past assures the high stand
ard of accomplishment of the
party as long as it is continued
in power.
We declare our warmest APP
proval and endorsement of the
work in the Congress of the
United States of our U. S, Sena-
tor, Coleman dupont, and our
Representative in Congress,
Robert G. Houston, and espec-
tally do we commend their eff
cient work in the behalf of the
material advancement and well
fare of our State.
We take pride in the pro-
gressive and successful admin
istration of our State govern
ment under the leadership of
Robert p. Robinson, and pledge
to him our earnest support in
the further performance of his
arduous duties as the executive
of this State. We commend the
stand taken by him and those
associated with him in author
ity, for the more adequate sup
port of our school SYSTEM the
execution of the program for
good roads, which are not ex-
ceeded in any State in the I'm
ion; and particularly for the en-
actment of the law providing
for a State contribution to the
reduction of road bonded in
debtedness of the several coun-
ties of the State.
We therefore heartily en-
dorse the administration of
Governor Robinson and the Re-
publican State officers who
have been associated with him
in advancing the best interests
of the people of our State.
1t is the duty of the Repub-
lican women of this State to
take a more active interest in
politics. 1t is an opportunity
for service to the State which
they should embrace, and quail
fly themselves for more active
participation therein. We there
fore recommend that Republi-
can Women's Clubs be organ
lied throughout this State un-
der the direction and supervis-
ion of the Republican National
Committeeman.
We also commend the Re-
publican administration of the
county affairs in the counties
of this State and point with
pride to their economic and eff
ticient administration of the af-
fairs thereof.

Ito have on hand whatever is or
dered. There are temperamenta1
tastes which delight in ordering
what isn't on the menu. The dieti-
tan has solved this problem by
keeping canned foods which provide
foods from any cline at any season.
II a guest demands loganberries
when the bushes are snow-covered,
or takes a fancy to Hawaiian salad
when he happens to be IN New
York - the can solves the problem.
1--WE buy the best brands Of
canned foods" explains the dieti-
tian, land then there is no need to
pass them off as the raw product,
because foods rightly canned are
just as good as the raw foods just
cooked, and people nowadays know
it. Right now, we have two car
loads of canned foods in the train
yards ready for delivery one Of
peas and one of string beans. Our
guests will not ask whether these
are canned or fresh string beans
because they are good canned beans.
The canned product is less expen-
sive and enables us to make better
profit.
with our immense family to
serve, we often buy out an entire
pack of one of the smaller canneries.
On today's menu, under 'Vege-
tables we have fresh Brussels
sprouts, eggplant, new peas and
new string beans, and also canned
spinach, canned string beans, canned
beets and canned asparagus"

q BIG New York City hotel
"A which caters to an average
OF $4,000 appetites q month
from all parts of the world, finds
thas pleasing the popular palate
isn't in the nature Of a soft job.
Women, especially, according to the
chief steward, are inclined to want
wat they want when they want it
but they don't always know
what they want.
"For example," says the chief
steward, ''the foods with foreign
names mean one thing to one per-
son and an entirely different thing
TO another. Suppose one of our
feminine guests sees broiled fowl
on the menu served with Sauce
Chantilly'. She has eaten that sauce
in some Partisan restaurant and
she orders it with eager anticipa-
ton. Now if our sauce were the
same Sauce Chantilly that she ate
in Paris, the verdict would never
theless be oh, that isn't half as
good as the French make itP And
it isn't. because she was seeing Paris
through rose-colored glasses and the
identical sauce tasted 100 percent
better there.
Twenty other women, however,
will prefer our Sauce Chantilly, so
we simply prepare an Americanized
sauce = the best we can conceive

Fire. presumably caused by de-
fective flue, caused considerable
damage to the residence on the Dra-
per farm between Milton and Ellen
dale last Sunday evening. The
house is tenanted by Ely Walls and
family, but there was no one at
home at the time the fire was dis
covered.
The fact that the building was
saved is almost miraculous, as when
the fire was first seen it had alrcady
burned through the second floor,
possibly a quarter of the floor be-
ing ablaze. The blaze was confined
to the twO-story rear wing of the
building, and fortunately the fam
lily had left all doors to the main
building closed.
The fire was discovered shortly
before seven o'clock. by Messrs.
Cove Reynolds and Everett Mitchell
who with their respective families,
were on their way to Milton. While
Mrs. Reynolds raced home to teIe-
phone for the fire engine, the men
BEGAN the removal of property from
| the front part of the building, but
thanks to their good judgment the
burning section was not entered
and with walls and roof still intact
the vigor of the fire was checked by
lack of air.
The Milton Volunteer Firemen,
although hampered somewhat by the
deplorable condition of the road,
made excellent time. When the fire
truck arrived at the building, flames
were breaking out under the caves,
and all who were present declared
the building doomed, but the fire
men. undaunted, took up their posi-
tions promptly; some with the hose,
some with ladders or axes; some at
the pump and some with buckets.
Within fifteen minutes they had
brought the fire under control. Inc
nozzle men using their chemical
carefully, yet effectively, first SUD
dued the blaze in the kitchen, then
leaving this part to the men with
buckets to complete, mounted lad
ders which had already been placed
and directed their attention to the
second floor.
The loss to the Walls family was
mainly in kitchen supplies and Go
thing. The building loss was some
what greater, as the kitchen had
been ceiled, and the floor and joists
had been burned completely away
in places.
At a time when we have had so
MANY disastrous fires in neigh5or-
