formal demand that he Vacate the Office
of Governor.
King, placed in the Governors Office
when Long left had guards posted in

Gus reply, fatty rejecting the demand

ment saying he would continue to func-
ton until Governor designate o. K

Cyr went to the State capital at
Baton Rouge yesterday, presenting him
self before a clerk Of the District Court,

ing he was the rightful chief executive.

the same time.
AS a result, Long asserted Cyr. who
had been Lieutenant Governor. Jug

taking the Governors oath, and recog-
nized King as succeeding to the lieu
tenant governorship.

Later Charles T. Workman. attorney
for Cyr. took the certificate Of oath TO
the Office Of the secretary Of State and
attempted to have it filed, but he was
told by Assistant Secretary R. H. Flower
that it could not be accepted, as the
oath Of King already was on file.
Cyr followed the same procedure he
adopted four months ago when he took
the Governors oath in Shreveport and
sent Huey Long a letter demanding that
he surrender the Governors Office.
Long refused in a return letter and Cyr
then filed suit in the District Court,
which later threw it out. the dismissal

When she did not return at the proper
time four destroyers went out to search
for her.
A sea mist settled down on the Chan
mel at dawn and continued virtually
impenetrable during the forenoon. Air
planes, equipped with special appara-
tus for sighting objects on the seas
bottom, hovered overhead throughout
the morning with trained observers
trying to peer through the mist, but no
positive confirmation could be made
that the object on the bottom was the
M-2.
Inventor Is Hopeful.
r. H. Davis, inventor of the escape
apparatus with which the M2 is equip
ped and by means of which some Of the
crew escaped from the British sub
marine Poseidon when she sank in the
China Sea last year, said 1t was need
less to abandon hope.
There was no suggestion, he said,
that there had been a collision or that
the hull of the M-2 had been damaged.
He suggested that the crew might be
repairing machinery which probably
had been damaged
Even II there was damage Whlcn couIo
not be repaired he said, the men had
every chance to escape by way of the
safety apparatus. Naval officials said
the crew would not resort to that ap-
paratus until the last moment, as its
use necessarily was very hazardous.
Reports from Portland said stiff
nor'wester wind was blowing, but the
sea was moderate and the position OF
the object supposed to be the submarine
was fairly sheltered.

Warehouse Chat
Ha,vley Warehouse

Hello everybody! This is the Hawley
Warehouse again. We want you all to
know that we're all on the job, and
going strong. Evelyn McCotter has
been i'll for several days, but returned
to work again on Tuesday.
We have observed that:
(Now this is a secret, so only whis-
per "confidentiallly') Mrs. Porky
Kalkwarf's health was so benefited by
sorting that it was necessary to put
an extension on her stool. We don't
know who did it, but somebody did.
We have also observed that Jeff
Martin eats less than any other big
woman we know. We give you fair
warning, Mrs. Jeff-watch those cal
ories
Mr.. x visited Mrs. Ralston the other
day. Alex Parke was just green with
jealousy, in fact, so much so that he
had the sympathy of the entire crew.
Shorty claims she has seen all kinds
of hops-bell hops, malt hops, and
grass-hops, but she never saw GULL
hop until our handsome hero Russ
Miller, came into the picture with such
vengeance.
We just can't figure out: Why Bud
Heath always parks his car where
Sparky Shaws car has been in the
habit of parking season after season;
why the worms don't get cold feet and
hide when Tiny Williams glares at
them; and why Steady Steadman
dashes around closing all the doors
after he loads up! Anyone know?
That's all right, don't feel bad, we
don't know either.

Fifteen birthdays, clear gray eyes
honest freckles, optimism and trained
barker's voice gained in two years OF

Carl Hubert, who broke into print and
prestige in 1880 as the State Fairs
youngest midway concessionaire, pro-
poses to take space again this year
and "go to it," The intervening time
has not been flattering in chore money.
But Carl refuses to be discouraged. He
has caught the spirit of the midway,
the spirit that dares Lady Luck to do
her stuff, and he'll be back on his
former spot, with the ice-cold pop and
the red-hot hamburgers, set up and
ready to catch his share of the first
visitors.

We have been asked to announce
that some miscreant stole the keys te
Hollywood Harry Foltz's car Tuesday
night. Although suspicion centers
around Leta Broughton, some one sug-
gests that maybe Retta took them, to
lock up her new dog.
How about little music? This is
Charles Meeks, whistling. Yes, know
it is the same bar of the same song
but he doesn't seem to know any others
And it's funny thing, folks, that he
only whistles that particular bar when
he is right behind one Of our new
sorters. Quick, Watson! A coincidence,
or a romance?
Hello, Girls! How are you today?"
Chill Beldin, just in with load Of
fruit. You might know his wife isn't
packing this year,
And here is a riddle just wired in
to the studio by one of our fans: What
man at the dance Saturday night was
Mamie Wright initiating when she went
high stepping down the floor, doing a
little balancing step now and then?
It's your question. You asked it, now
answer it.
Flirting through megaphone at a
safe distance has it's advantages, SEE
Irvie. Even then, the apple she threw
just missed his head. Okay, Myrtle.
We surely made the Labor in Labor
Day stand for something Monday, with
1919 hours work and total of 1869
boxes. And hot-when we get going full
steam there isn't dry forehead in the
house.
They tell that Elsie Cords came to
work the other day without any stock
ings on. And so the depression has
reached new low level.

cute way of saying goodnight.
Okay! WBW.

White Bluffs Warehouse

Good evening, listeners-in!
This is StationWBW coming on the
air through the courtesy of the Local
Farmers, Inc, for our first radio broad
cast of the packing season.
Well, folks, we have several new
faces here in the studio this year. Let
me introduce Sorters Lillian Larsen
and Mrs. Ponsat, and Packer Mrs. Fos-
ter, who have been added to our crew.
And by the way, everybody, did you
hear how Retta Keen adopted Mrs.
Fosters dog for an hour last week?
The story was told to me this way:
A friendly dog appears at the ware
house Tuesday morning and is fed
plentifully from the lunch pals, decides
the going is good and locates at the
feet of the sorters. After following
Mrs. Heath home for lunch, Homeless
Hector, the hungry stray, is adopted
by Retta, who takes him home and
safely ties him up. Then along comes
Mrs. Foster and claims him. Now Retta
has rope and nothing on the end Of
it.
Let this be a warning to all dog
owners. Keep your pets locked up, as
Retta is likely to adopt the first hungry
canine to cross her path.
Cali aboard!" That's Bumper George
Barta and he is turning on the ma
chine. And here comes the crew. Just
a minute folks and we will tune you
in down there.
"Have you the butterfly pattern?"
Goodnight! It's sure going to be warm
today" Whose apples are these?" mo,
I have the sun-bonnet one, though"
THAT isn't what she told ME-"
It's great night folks, and we wish
you were here. That peculiar sound you
hear is most likely Leta and Percie at
their sneezing. Down below, you can
hear Danny lidding, and what sounds
like machine gun fire is only the culls
Dad Hill is carrying away.
Don't be alarmed radio friends, that
was just Garnet Coleman screaming
Harry McCotter undertook to water
the sorters and became so confused by
the bright lights and beautiful faces
that he poured the bucket of ice water

for
CONGRESSMAN
Primaries Sept. Is, 1882

Primaries Sept. IL, 1882
He has been heavy TAXPAYER in
Washington for 81 years.
He has clean record as Legislator
at Olympia.
He is Progressive Democrat and will
support a Progressive President in
bringing back Prosperity.
He stands on the Democratic Platform
and for the Democratic Principles

He has not and does not make pledges
to a special few.
He keeps his promises to the common
people.
Independent voters have supported
him in the past and will support
him in the future.
The following is a clipping from the
Prosser Record-Bulletin the day fol-
lowing the 1880 general election: when
it comes to running the jack rabbits
have nothing on Knute Hill. In
county strongly Republican and with
the state and county Republican forces
arrayed against him, and with every
paper in the county either neutral or
supporting his opponent, Hill went out
single-handed and came home with the
bacon $500 majority. His victory is
evidence of his popularity among the
people of Benton county. Republicans
freely admit that Hill is the hardest
man to beat in Benton county. Rep
resentative Hill and U. S. Senator Dill
are alike in their ability to win Re-
publican independent votes"

FRIENDS in the Democratic primary.
They will remember the people, not the

healthful, and for that light Sunday
supper is particularly satisfying. An
orthodox pepper is not essential. Place
little cooking compound in a heavy
skillet or saucepan, putting the corn
in the vessel at the same time. A

rewards you with a pan full of fluffy
white grains. The salt may be added
either before or after popping We

pop corn to make him sick. In GER

This is the height Of our deserts;
A little pity for LIES hurts;
A little rain, o little sun,
A little sleep when work Is done,
A little righteous punishment,
Less for our deeds than their intent;
A little pardon now and then,
Because we are but struggling men.
A little light, to show the way.
A little guidance when we stray;
A little love before we pass
To rest beneath the kirkyard grass.
A little faith in days Of change,
When life is dark and bare and
strange;
A solace when our eyes are wet
With tears Of longing and regret.
True 1t is that we cannot claim
Unmeasured. recompense or blame,
Because our way of life Is small;
A little is the sum of all.
