WASHINGTON 81
LETTER SKI

Now there are many men in public
life who are far greater liars thar
the senator from Ohio, but there are
few who admit being liars at al.
Whether it is more honorable to
lie and deny it or to lie and admit
it, the fact remains that reputation
for mendacity would ordinarily be
counted against a man when the
parties pick their keynoters.
We now seem to have demonstrat-
ed that some remarkably cogent
reason was behind the selection Of
Cousin Tess. Was that reason, the
fact that he could make q heck of
. good speech in praise Of Mr.. Cool
idge and so get the delegates reused
up over the president with a good
Observation-Disclosures outburst for
Our Cal" when Fess had concluded?
Probably not, for any keynoter
would be forced to brag great deal
about Mr.. Coolidge and there are
several others who could do it more
effectively than the Hon. Simeon.
I
Apparently the only logical de-
duction is that such gents as Chair
man William M. Butler and Vice
Chairman Charles D. Hilles of the
Republican National Committee were
anxious to strengthen the impress
sion among the brethren that Mr..
Coolidge was still . potent factor.
Even the most obtuse politician,
anxious to hitch onto the proper
bandwagon, could not avoid being
struck by the fact that the party's
big bosses had chosen from the en-
tire field this one man known to
all Is the most vociferous Of the
Coolidge craftsmen.
In other words, the Tess selection
appears to be the latest move in the
"block Hoover" game which has been
going on for several weeks. Hilles,
Mayor Thompson Of Chicago, State
Chairman George Morris of New
York and former National Chairman
William r. Wilcox, one by one, have
marched out of the White House
after seeing Mr.. Coolidge with
assertions that Mr.. Coolidge still be
nominated and that sentiment for
his denomination was strong. Chair
man Butler being Chairman Butler,
his silence after . similar visit was
placed in exactly the same category.
II the Hoover strength can be
broken up 1t the outset by the idea
that Mr.. Coolidge is receptive-and
many delegates whom Hoover counts
as his are for Coolidge first-it may

Summarizes Years

After meteorological records have been kept
for centuries it may be possible to surmise
with some degree of accuracy that certain
years will be marked by extraordinary
weather conditions. But it is bit premature
to rush to the conclusion, because spring hes
been belated, that this is to be "a year without
. summer" like 1876. It will be better to
wait until after July and August before put
ting 1923 in that class.
So many myths have been circulated con-
corning 1916 that it is gratifying to obtain ar
unvarnished account of the freaks of the
weather in that year. Such report is avail
able in diary kept by Elisha Risdon Of Hop.

Hoover accepted the place. Then

Hoover did not remain q clerk

reputation and income increased. For
NO years he travelled all over the
Woot as an expert on Janin's staff.
Janin recognized him as . budding

IN 1897, when the West Australian

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Question: Mary ]. asks: what
causes hard skin around the finger
nails? How may I stop this? Also,
what is lime water good fort ID
It good TO take when one has boils :"
Answer: There ID . natural hard
ring Of skin around the fingernails.
This ID made tougher II it Il trimmed
or clipped during tho manicure.
Lime water il used to counterfeit
stomach acidity and, with other a.
kaline water il frequently recon.
mended for the treatment Of boils.
But it takes more than this to stop
the cause Of boils which come from
. combination Of outside infection
and . thoroughly toxic blood stream.
Question: Housekeeper writes:

gland in my neck since / was 5. It
is about tho size Of Q pea. Causes
me no trouble, but I do not like the
looks Of it. Sometimes when I have
. cold it is larger. Should I have
it removed by surgery?"
Answer: The enlarged gland 10
probably IN over-distended lymph
node which gets larger when you
have . cold due to the increased
amount Of waste carried by the
Emphatic circulation. This en-
larged gland can doubtless be re.
duced through treatments and q

kept from getting any larger. If

only be IN added burden on the other
lymphatic glands which usually then
enlarge, creating more trouble.

At the Movies
CAPITOL. THEATRE

Flying so close to the ground that
their tail skids scraped the side of
a mountain, aviators engaged in the
filming of 1.-THE Great Mail Rob-
berry," the F. B. O. picture of the
United States Marines now showing
at the Capitol Theatre, accepted un-
told hazards that the picture might
be the thrilling spectacle it is.
In the scenes where four air
planes, manned by marines, pursue
a gang of bandits in automobiles
through the mountain passes, it
was necessary for the flyers to fol-
low a winding road, around hair
pin curves. and below the level Of
the mountain tops. On one occa-
sion, the second plane of the squa-
dron, cutting close to a ridge. fell
into the wake of the leading plane,
and dropped the few feet separating
it from the ground.

BASEBALL MANAGER
GOES TO CHICAGO
TO GET PLAYERS
Jack Becker Making Extensive Trip
TO Purchase Ball Players for Plen-
tywOOd-COnnected With Prominent
Baseball Magnate Who Will Offer
Advice In Picking of Material.

Last Saturday Jack Becker left for
st. Cloud, Mimi, where he interview
ed Paul Heiffer, we'll known to Plen-
tywood fans as the receiver of the of
ferings dished up by Donaldson, the
great colored pitcher. From there he
goes to Chicago where he will be in
audience with one of the most prom
inent baseball men in that city and
whose judgment on baseball material
is generally known as infallible. He
will go over the situation with this
gentleman and will then proceed to
make arrangements for the players
who will represent the Plentywood
club.
Other teams are being formed in
all the main towns of northeastern
Montana and northwestern North Da-
kota and a lively baseball season is
in store for the fans if present indica-
tons are any sign.
The fact that players who exhibit
exceptional baseball talent draws
large crowds has been proven conclu-
sively in Plentywood. When Scobey
and Plentywood were rivals with
some of the best players in the world
IN their lineups, large crowds came
from long distances to see the games.
Probably no player of any of the
major league teams of the big cities
are what you might say local boys,
but are purchased from every corner
OF the nation as their ability proves
itself, but the people who flock to
the huge baseball stadiums in the
larger cities want to see good base
ball-to see the game played as near
perfect as it can be played and see
the stars of the great National game
IN action, no matter where they come
from. So it is in Plentywood and
Northeastern Montana, the fans of
TINS section want to see good baseball.
1T has been proven conclusively that
poor baseball is not a drawing card
to the local fans Most of the base
ball enthusiasts have either played or
witnessed the best baseball in the east
at one time or another and they "know
their onions" and demand q high
grade of the National game. SO Beck
er has left with the intention of Sc
curing some real baseball BOYS that
will give any of the many towns in
this section Of Montana, who are now
getting their players together, a real
run for their money and give the
fans something to talk about after
the game is over beside what might
have been done if he had only known.
A large sum Of money has been
raised by the local business men and
the result of Becker's trip will be
eargerly awaited in Plentywood.
