FEELING OF BROTHERLY LOVE:—• The St. Louis Republic seeks to throw some light on the Pennsylvania primary in the following: "Any one who supposes that the republican rancor of 1912 has all turned to brotherly love should consider the stand-up-and-knock-down fight that has been waged in Pennsylvania between the Penrose and Brumbaugh factions of the party. “On the day before the primary election the attorney general of Pennsylvania, speaking for the Brumbaugh faction, said that it Penrose won, the delegates to Chicago would be led by their noses like cattle and bartered for the selfish ends of the bosses. Penrose replied that the leadi ers of the other faction were corrupt , and that they were burying the state in scandal; and the attorney general rejoined that Penrose was insane or drunk. "It was not a pretty fight, but it I was highly instructive. The Brum- , baugh faction, which is quite general- i ly regarded as the creature of a group of Philadelphia contractors, was for harmony with the progres- , sives and leaned toward Roosevelt. , Its delegates agreed to vote for any 1 candidate that might win at the pref- ' erence primary. The Penrose people stod for a wholly uninstructed delegation. They have won a majority of the delegation, but will have to go to Chicago with a Brumbaugh minority that will be for Roosevelt.. In that situation one would say that Harmony had better take to the bombproof. The train bearing the Pennsylvania /delegation to Chicago will be no place for that fair maid. But there will be harmony of some kind. There will be no trouble between the senator from Pennsylvania and his own hand-picked delegates. They will be led by their noses in accordance with the prediction and, while John Wanamaker, who happens to be in the delegation. stands for God and morality, Boies Penrose will do business.” The meeting to boost the T. &. O. C. railroad proposition will probably be held at Fort Wayne the latter part of next week. This community should send a delegation of “live ones” to that meeting. We believe our people would gladly assist the company to the extent of giving them right of way through the county and we believe many will be interested sufficiently to attend the meeting at ,

San Antonio, Texas, May 20 —(Special to Dally Democrat) —Withdrawal of the second American expedition from Mexico to Boquillas Texas will be accomplished in a few days. Col. Sibley believes his mission of dispersing the bandits who raided Bo quillas and Glenn Springs has been accomplished and he has noth |ld headquarters of his intention to re turn to the border. For this reason the sixth cavalry which withdrew from the first expedition yesterday will be utilized as a Big Bend bordei patrol instead of reinforcing the first expedition Reports today showed that in the recent brush of the second expedition with the Mexicans four bandits were wounded and two captured. They had held as a prisoner a Carranza commander's son, thus showing they were not allied with Carranza. The second expedition, has dispersed the bandits, driving them something more than 125 miles below the border. WILSON WRITES PLATFORM. (United Press Service) Washington. D.

. The Town Man and Hie Trouble#. j “I am atlll required to do some of the chores in and around my happy home,” remarked Polk Daniels of Howard, “and the other day while doing one of my more or less regular stunts a wagon pretty well tended with people rumbled by. 'Oh, look-ee at that , man; he's carryin’ out slop!’ remarked a woman In a high pitched voice, and '' .then they all looked in my direction y and all broke out laughing fit to kill. 0 From which I Infer that in some homes >• the carrying of the slop pall is not considered a man's work.”—Kansas s City Star. 9 ■ |’q Tea and Coffee Stains. H Old tea and coffee stains are someK times extremely obstinate and require n great pains to remove.

Or mix one tablespoonful of salt with a cupful of soft soap, rub on the spots and lay articles on the grass or In the sun to bleach. Wet the spots occa ; sionally. The natural bleaching power ] of the sun will often fade out coffee 3 or tea spots if subjected to it for a t considerable length of time. f Only Way to Know Dogs. The only true and thorough way to know the dog is to own one. A common residence under the same roof tree, be it animals or humans, is the sure test of personality. To own i the dog is to comprehend him In his i faults and virtues to protect his weaknesses, be anxious at bls vagrancies, ! to catch the contagion of bls love, and to agonize if it so be that he die. — ' Our Dumb Animals. Why Fish Are Near-Sighted. As a result of a number of experimental studies, scientists have found that the eyes of fish are relatively large in comparison with human eyes; i a fish’s eye is ordinary about one-twen-tieth of the length of its body, while . that of a man Is from one-sixtieth to ' one-seventieth of the height. It is believed that this is one reason for their near-sightedness. All She Said.

A large elephant carrying tusks weighing nearly 200 pounds, choked to death on frogs recently in one of the provinces of Sudan while drinking at a pool.

She—“l want you to forget that I told you I didn't mean what 1 said about not taktrj bacK my refusal to change my mind.

A GREAT MEETING ' <co»tin™ »«•„ ° N '>. • “ - > lion in April 1 •<«« ‘ . have seen the delegates' « e ’ ect » nOtb » er candidate for senator, but they 1 thought otherwise am: so I was nom--1 mated. Today when 1 look Into faces of a body of men ‘ lllß know they are fighting with me and for me. my old spirit is aroused and • no power on earth could induce me 8 to get out of the fight. We never en--3 tered a campaign in Indiana in which 3 we had such assurances of party suer cess. With men like Woodrow Wilj son and our own Thomas R. Marshall j to head out national ticket, with such j a splendid national record, nothing ' could defeat them. Yl ith men like J. 1 A. M. Adair and John Kern and al! 3 the splendid state officials running ett the grand record of the Marshall and Ralston State administrations, what have we for which to offer apoiogj, and what have we done that anyr one can criticise before the voters! J There never was a more ideal coudlI tlon" 1 “But we must have organization to 1 get all the facts before the people, to see the voters personally and to get i them to the polls on election day. Let • us begin now, not tomorrow or the next day or the next. For tomorrow in such matters is never a safe date. ; Do it now and there will never be a . chance for doubt in splendid results. I Congressman Adair assured t’te ' meeting that there must be some reason in all things and he could dis- ’ cover no reason why democrats could j fail to carry the state in a terrific . landslide. ’ 'Can any man give me any sane reason why any man in his right mind should vote a republican ticket next November?” he asked his hearers. “Their party is entering the campaign without a leader or an issue in sight. Their State convention in keynote speech and platform found nothing to criticise in either state or national administration. The only thing they did not like was the Underwood Tariff and they showed the dense ignorance of the facts in discussing that. They i have been telling us for a long time ' that when a tariff commission is ap--1 pointed, the tariff will be out of poli- ’ tics and will no longer be a campaign ’ issue. Long before they get fairly Ini' to the campaign our democratic congress will pass a law creating a nonpartisan tariff commission, and by their own confession their very last hope of a shadow of an issue will have disappeared. "Why, men, it takes tremendous .gall ' on the part of the republicans to nominate any ticket in this campaign. The people want Woodrow Wilson and are going to return both Wilson and Marshall for four years more, and ’he ( whole Indiana State ticket with them." I Both Senator Taggart and CongressI man Adair promised to make an active campaign of the state and go into every county before November. At the banquet, which was served at the West Shore Club in the evening, Governor Ralston made one of his characteristically earnest speeches. t His earnestness i g cf his intense al- . miration for the accompishments of, . Woodrow Wilson as president and his! ' high appreciation of the man. He de- 1 dared he could not understand how any partriotic American could fail to support the President. “He has raisI ed the Stars and Stripes higher in the 1 1 skies and elevated the respect of the ’ world for America more than any , President we have’ever had, bar none' ths (rfivsmor A number of the county chairmen and secretaries also spoke- !

Dear Friends f— A short time ago. we wrote y ou that there comes a time to a man when it is necessary for him to borrow money. Obligations that he finds It wise to group in one place improvements that he finds necessary to make, improvements that he is not forced to make but honest ambition leads him on to> do. additional acres that he wants to purchase. Perhaps the farm he owns Is too small, he has long had his eye upon a larger one one better suited to his needs and strength. Or, perhaps, an adjoining farm that he has desired for a long time. To you with these thoughts in mind we are Writing this letter. We believe we can help you satisfactorily. We are sure we can SAVE you money. If you have it in your mind to do these things and you have made up your mind to borrow some money, then the very next thing that you think is "where can I do the best?” "Where can 1 get what 1 want and get it at the best possible advantage to me?” ME Now if you will come into our office and talk to Mr. Schirmeyer or Mr. Quinn, they will show you that your wants can be taken care of in a highly satisfactory manner. How can we do that? First, we will loan you as much per acre as prudence and good judgment will permit. Second, we will loan you on 5 years’ time and give you permission of paying on the principal or paying off the whole loan at any interest paying time. Third, we will loan you at 5 per- cent or at 5H' P«r cent with a reasonable commission, or we will loan you at 6 per cent and charge you no commission. Nov;, this last proposition is worthy of your closest attention. We will loan you at 6 per cent for 5 years or for 10 years, charge you no commission at all. and give you privilege of paying on the loan or parting it all off at any interest paying time, if you should so choose. This straight 6 per cent loan is an excellent one. Borrow your needs, pay your interest twice a year, pay no commission at all and twice a year have the provilege of paying on the loan or payrng the whole loan off and your expense is 6 per eent per annum for the money you have used. We know you will think,this over carefully. We know you will see its advantages. You will realize you have never had such a proposition offered you before. Will you take advantage of the offer? Do you need money this spring, or summer? Or do you need it this fall? Come into our office (next door to postoffice) end talk it over with us. Tell us your needs, your plans, your wants. We will do our best to be of service to you. Respectfully. 'HE BOWERS REALTY COMPANY. FRANK M. SCHIRMEYER. FRENCH QUINN. 121tf **'" ■ ' o— —— . GIRL WANTED—For genera I housework. Two in family.
