The cows do not know they are being tested and will not give more milk because of that fact alone. 2. If your herd does poorly the first month or year do not get discouraged and stop testing. Remember knowledge of the producing qualities of each cow in your herd is essential if you desire to improve. 3. A dairy cow is a factory for the production of milk but timothy hay and root crops alone are not the proper raw materials to use. 4. Clover hay and corn silage can be converted into milk by the dairy cow, more easily than any other roughage except grass, therefore, we will do well to supply these feeds if possible. 5. Cows' milk is about 87 percent water, therefore, spare no effort in making it pleasant and convenient for them to obtain a large supply of fresh pure water at all times. 6. The dairy cow appreciates kindness and regularity. Loud talking and abuse should not be allowed in the dairy barn. 7. A warm well lighted, well ventilated barn, kept in a sanitary condition, will contribute much, not only to the comfort of the cows but to the owner as well. Pg. 1, col. 4 REFERENDUM MEASURES Popular government is at stake. The voters will decide for it or against it in casting their votes on the Referendum Measures, Nov. 7th. Referendum Measurers nos. 3 and 4 if passed will destroy the only control people have over corrupt legislatures and venal public officials. They take the initiative Referendum and Recall. Etc. The above measures all passed by the 1915 legislature, were referred to the on petitions signed by approximately 52000 citizens. Combined, their result will make the right of direct legislation inoperative, the right of recall ineffective. They will shackle the hands of those desiring to run for public office by subjecting them to the dictates of party leaders. SABBOTH DAY SERVICES The Official Board of the Church met Thursday evening at the parsonage. The Epworth League will give a social at the church Friday night. Sunday School at 10 a.m. Supt., Mrs. J.

EDISON IDEA FILM PLAY'S BASIS While examining a submarine on which there had been a fatal explosion Thomas Edison, replying to questions from his fellow members of the national board of defense, is reported to have made this statement: "To my mind there is no reason why an undersea boat should not be equipped with fishgill like apparatus, so that it can draw its supply of air directly from the water. Thus the lives of the crew will not be dependent upon the compressed air supply or on the ability of the boat to reach the surface. When this invention is perfected submarine navigation will be perfectly safe and secretive." Samuel S. Hutchinson, the master producer, decided to use the expression by the great inventor and weave it into a photoplay scene and those who witness the chapters of "The Secret of the Submarine," which will start Saturday night, Nov. 11th at the Redman theater, will see the thrill-filled manner in which it was done. MR. AND MRS. CRAIG RETURN Mr. and Mrs. A. G. Craig of Clay City returned home on Monday from a two weeks vacation spent in Victoria, Vancouver and other parts of British Columbia.

Pg. 1, col. 5 EUROPE'S WAR PROVES PROTECTION IS RIGHT Elihu Root Shows That the Republican Party's Cardinal Principle Has Won the Only Decisive Battle of the Contest. WE PROSPER BECAUSE THE HOME MARKET IS OUR OWN. When Peace Comes and Foreign Commercial Confederations Look Hungrily Toward America, We Shall Deserve what happens to Us If Provision Is Not Made Against Disaster by a Tariff Quite Different From the Underwood Folly. Etc. First fruits of the Adamson bill: The New York street car strike. SINFUL MUTILATION OF FAMOUS SPEECH We notice that the editor of the Democratic campaign book, made up of samples of "Woodrow Wilson's Wit and Wisdom". Has tampered with one specimen speech by omitting the phrase "too proud to fight." This smacks of lese majeste, to say the least. The only possible excuse for this sin of omission that we can think of is that there may also be times when a haughty handbook compiler is too proud to print. TIDEWATER NEWS Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Johnson and Edward Shields, of Thrift, called at A. Gustafson's, Tuesday. Mr. Frank Potts left for Lytell, Wash.

The school house was decorated in Autumn leaves and autumn colors of paper. Those winning prizes for guesing games were as follows; Mr. Robert Kreger, Master George Kreger, Fred Kropf, and Mrs. Chas. Kreger. ATTENTION, would like to know the party that bit one of the ladies on the cheek, while the lights were out. Remember this is Leap Year and if the party is found well we won't say what will happen but mum is the word. Note by the editor. This is contributed by some damsel, eveidently, from the Swan Lake district, to the editor unknown. FLETCHER FOR JUDGE Few persons realize that the judges of the superior courts receive $4,000 a year, which is more than some lawyers earn in a 12-month period, among the candidates aspiring for the position is one lawyer, who has made more than $4,000 a year. He is John D. Fletcher, who is neither, a corporation or a railroad lawyer. Because of this fact his friends declare that Mr. Fletcher is a "$4,000 man for a $4,000 job." Both republicans and democrats are supporting Fletcher for judge. The race is non- portisan. Pg. 2, col. 1 NEWS FROM ALDER The Republican Rally held here Monday night lacked somewhat in attendance which was undoubtedly due to the inclemency of the weather. Geo. M. Thompson made the principle address, speaking on national issues. Other speakers were: William Turner, E. McKenzie, and D. H. White. The theme of Mr. Thompson's address was the urgent need of a high protective wall, which he asserts, could only be secured through the Republican Party. He also touched upon the Mexican affairs. That the Wilson supporters were in great majority at this meeting was cearly evident. Time after time the speaker was interrupted with questions hurled at him from the audience. Fred C.
