Geo. N. Crosfield, Wasco, Ore. The Great Thing About Real Tobacco” says the Good Judge is that it tastes so good, t»nd a little chew lasts so much longer than the old kind. The good, rich tobacco stays right with th is clr.ss of tob acco. Thr.t’s why it costs you lesd to chew it. Any man who uses the Real i oLacco Chew will tell you that.

Frances was measuring her little couslr. with n yard stick which she ac cidentally held with the small numbers at the top. After a few moments’ study she calmly unaouucod: "Buster is 3 ^ Inches not to the cud.” ANNOUNCEMENT I c*wi»< níh We are Informed by a content* fjoinry that the Bronx doctors have formed a union and will seek affili ation with the American Federation of Latmr. This seems to ui to he an act of supererogation, but presum ably the doctors know what they are doing. They always do know what they are doing when strengthening their own position by aseoclational agreements, although at times they are not so sure of It when engaged In strictly professional work. There Is a wide-spread belief, however, that ihe doctors were already fairly well ••organized," and thut they had even enlisted thepollce power of the state In the cause of a "closed shop." We are curious to see just what sliH||j the new scale of prices will take, and If (he qualified but unknown young phy sician or surgeon will be entitled to as much pay as the proved, If no more «klllful, operator, says New York,, Morning Telegraph. Also, we would like to ask If they will be expected to "walk out” In sympathy should other -sections of the "needle” trades quit because of a Just grievance? Again, would It be unethical for them to write a prescription without a previ ous understanding that It must not he filled In a cut-rate pharmacy? Leonard Wood, of Massachusetts, is the choice of the republicans of Shermqn county for next president, he receiving 283 votes with Hiram Johnson of California, second with 152. Hbnryz Cabot Lodge, also of Massachusetts, received the highest nbmber of votes for vice president. W illiam Gibbs McAdoo, o f ' New York, was the only one contesting for the presidency on the democratic tick et and won by 143 with Willicqn T Vaughn, of Oregon, his running mate as vice president. The vote for delegates at large, delegates from the 2d congressional district, and for presidential electors, on both party tickets, was rather evenly divided among numerous can didates and, as affecting the gen en l results in the state the county figures are immaterial insofar as this article is concerned. On the republican ticket) Stanfield received 334 votes for United States senator with his opponent being given 122. Chamberlain, on the democratic ticket, received,» 168 against 32 for Starkweather; this contest was ex pected to be much closer as President Wilson had taken quite a hand in favor of Starkweather. For congressman, Sinnott received 362 republican votes and his opponent Jones 158. James H. .Graham was nominated on the democratic ticket w:th no opposition. On the republican state ticket W. D..Wood, of Washington county, wa? the choice for secretary of state, re ceiving 147 votes as against 145 for Mr. Kozer and the rest being given about an even number of votes. For public service commissioner H. H. Corey received 278 and Luper 182. In the judicial district Judge Park er was again nominated for circuit judge and C. M. Huddleston for dis trict attorney, on both tickets. The same thing occurred in the legislative district where O. B. Robertson, of Gilliam county, w$s nominated for state senator and A. M. Wright, of Sherman county, and R. J. Carsner, of Wheeler county, were nominated for state representatives. All county nominees, either ticket, also received the nomination from the opposite party, thus elim inating any local fight at the election next fall. On the republican ticket, MUgh Chris man was nominated for sheriff, beat ing J. M. Yocom by 169; L. L. Peetz commissioner by a margin of 109; other nominees are G. B. Bourhill for treasurer; Otto Peetz for assessor; M. B. Taylor for coroner. The'dem ocratic nominees are Grace L. May for school superintendent; Mrs. M. L. Hoskinson for clerk; H. S. Wall for county surveyor. All measures voted on carried in the county and in the state as well. The exact figures are immaterial. . SNR The One Who Succeeds Just go back In your mind over the w’ay you have come and count the number of times you have been un successful, when you threw up your bunds and started Into damn condi tions anl pity yourself. If the farm er waited until weather, reed, market conditions and his own personal feel ings suited film right down to the ground, he would never reap a har vest. The business man will never have everything Just to his liking. Prices will be too high or’ too low, the seasons will be too cold or too hot and It’s always either too wet or too dry. Our observation has been that the most successful men are the ones who do not use up their energy quarreling with conditions, says Grit. They are the men who sinlle and hop to It. They find out. first of all, if there Is anything wrong with them selves or their particular business vhlch they can overcome and set ight, and then pull up their belts an- >ther notch and hop to It. They resi ze that- the other fellow Is busy with his own particular problems, that It Is up to them individually to make good and when they attain to this frame of mind they usually do. Hop to It, brother, while the hopping’s good. It seems altogether likely that the nerson who arises to say that the girl of today Is more beautiful because the films have shown her how Is on the right track, says Milwaukee Jour nal. At least a good deni Is attrib utable to the films. Including a large •rop of the future manhood of the republic *with the given names of Francis and Douglas. Other benefits are to be hoped. Those of us, fob In stance, whose domestic difficulties are never submitted to the arbitrament of flying china sincerely hope that cus tard pies have softened the bruised feelings resultant from ouch encoun ters and somewhat reduced the high cost of strife. England Is encouraging the stand iirdlzatlon of clothing for women to decrease the cost of living. But that cannot be accomplished until women ure standardized, which Is one of the problems that present difficulties. Wang P. Tong and Sun Yat Seb have arranged peace between North China and South China. In the face I "of Japanese uggresaton. teivgîstrlal and Impertinent, all the Celestials are getting together. .T •< Un Annuii SutU^ooI nt He N ational u b k & tt insura S ck compan # M or amèbica ¿’• ’J.T w f« ,u **'• ‘fate of N»w York, on Ih4 101», uud» to Hi« of th . »Ut« of Or »»un, . 4nr of UfMBlur, » u r tiu u t to b w i CAPITAL Amount of oopiui ito c i paid u p # M W.
