The police are trying to enforce the order and ask your cooperation. The Republican press is making I a lot of fuss because Democrats are being appointed to the public jobs but if the tables were turned, the only Democrats who would have aj look-in. would be those who promised to forever follow the elephant.! A great game, this politics. It s quite a job this year to complete the organization of election boards. To tind capable officials who are not candidates or related to any requires a caretui study of the precincts and then when you find them it takes an argument to induce them to tackle the job for the small pay allowed. For years this city has engaged in an annual clean-up at this time of the year. The city force assists by trucking away the rubbish gathered and placed in boxes, barrels or crates. It requires several days but its worth it. CJct ready for them and help make it a real success. Adults who are fearful of being able U> vote in the primary should ■ -Htke ..heart by the report of the boys and girls election held here yesterday. Out of 25U ballots cast there were only seventeen mutilated and this notwithstanding the fact that, the only instructions given were in a short talk just prior to the voting. The merchants are advertising for the spring business and today was a busy one here. It jiays to keep alive. Tell the people what you have for sale and why they ought to buy it. Those who do this wisely always profit. Read the advertisements. They contain important messages that you will find interesting. In another week we will be at the end of a long primary campaign. So far it lias been a very orderly and decent affair. Keep it up candidates. Don't do or say any thing that will have to bo explained later. Fight your own battle, do it in a clean way and leave nothing to apologize for. You will be happier and the parly better off. Jay Alton, bright young lad from Central, Is the youths mayor and will preside over affairs here on MayTth, assisted by a council and other officials. They have the enthusiasm and the faith and hope that goes with those in their teens. We hope they realize aH their ambitions and that their administration may ~be so successful that every difficulty will be dissolved. A lot of talk about the amount of the reward for the capture of Dillinger. Just, some more bunk. Why should any one be paid for doing their duty? The officers, county, state and federal are all making the best effort they can to get their man and the spending of thousands

of dollars would not help an lota. It would be a form of lottery tor the one who gets the credit will require soma luck. Mrs. Roosevelt believes that the most successful woman pages in ■ newspapers are those which give the most interesting news, rather , than those which show the styles 1 of dresses and recipes for pumpkin '; pies. She is right. The modern I woman is interested in about every ' thing the piai is and reads the , paper just as carefully, except [terhaps iu moat cases, the sports and market pages and even those are not entirely passed up. Walter Davenport, writing for Collier s in an article headed "l*ublic bombards congress with tons of letters'' shows that more thau ten million letters were received by members of the legislative body between January Ist and April 15tb this year. Wiiile a majority show discontent and some warnings of revolt, the masses. Recording to Davenport, are insistent that President Roosevelt carries the only I banner they will follow. It's a rather unusual era through which we I pass, but we are coming to that end of the journey where we can see | light ahead aud the President is carrying the torch. Miltou Wealing has resigned his office as county el?rk to which he was elected four years agf aud of 1 which term he had served twenty- | eight months. Mr. Werling main tains his innocence and insists that conviction in his recent hearing in the Federal court in Chicago was duif to the perjured testimony of detectives. He makes a very frank statement and asks the confidence I and help of the people of the com I munity that he may continue to be | useful. His actions regarding his office have been manly and are to be commended and we are sure he will be held in esteem by thousands who have known him as a capable and friendly official. o, > —• Answers To Test Questions Below are the Answers to the Test Questions Printed on Page Two. 1.

OLD HAND LOOM RENEWED ART PHILADELPHIA dJ.PJ— The art of hand-weaving, one of the oldest in the world, is a flourishing business for a Germantown lamHy. It started as a hobby 27 years ago. when Mr. and Mrs. Arnold G. Talbot became interested in a ■ hand loom, which had been gathering dust in their attic for years. They searched public libraries tor books on the subject, and inquired about classes tn weaving. But they had no success. Most of the old I books on hand looms were lost or destroyed, and no one here knew ! how to weave. So they started practicing themselves, trying various combinations of thread and yarn. Be- ! lore long they discovered that they could turn out products ap--1 praised by experts as "equal to

the best work of the Middle Ages." Quite suddenly, a market developed for their cloths. The Talbots moved to the outskirts of the city aud began to make towels, tablecloths. rich chair covering and beautiful tapestries. Their sou and daughter, William and Frances, joined in the new business. Today the Talbot family has 21 looms in operation. They hire additional help to fill orders. Their home, devoted to the work, reflects the charm and atmosphere of dajs gone by. Frances, after a Rhode Island School of Design course, develops the patterns for the rugs and other pieces, woven of wool, silk, cotton and linen. c McKinley's Village Celebrates Navaree. O.—(U.P., —This village, which was the scene of William McKinley's first victory as a lawyer. is celebrating its centennial anniversary this month. Laid out in 1834. it was named after the French King. Henry of Navarre.
