LIIIUS MEREDITH TO SEEK OFFICE sheriff, However, Has Not Yet Consented to Make the Race for Chairman of the Republican Forces. CHARLES POTTER IS OUT FOR POSITION Up to the Present Time No One Is a Candidate for the Office of Secretary of the Organization. Linus Meredith, sheriff of the county 1b being urged by his many friends to accept the chairmanship of the county republican organization, but has not as yet announced his candidacy. Charles Potter, Wayne township assessor, and former township trustee, has announced his candidacy for this position. The office is purely an honorary one. -The selection of a county chairman will be made in January, the exact date not having been set. The first matters to come before the republicans are the organization of the wards and township voting precincts, and the selection of members of the county board. ' These matters will be taken up immediately after the holidays. The board elects a chairman and secretary from outside its organization, as a rule. On these two officials the success of the primary and subsequent election devolves to a great extent, and for this reason the greatest care will be exercised in the selection of a capable general and chief of staff. Known AM Over County. Mr. Meredith is acquainted all over the county, very few other men, capable of holding the position, having so vide a circle of friends. He also possesses executive ability. Mr. Potter is well and favorably known in Wayne township, but not so extensively in the outer districts as Mr. Meredith. His friends claim that he would make up for this short coming by his executive ability. Louis Bowman is the present county chairman, but his work will be over with the calling of the various meetings. The position of secretary of the county organization, has so far attracted no candidates. Edward Warfel is the present official, but is not considering seeking re-election. A young man is usually given this position by the board. It entails a large amount of work. Minors Want a Five Day Week. According to reports from the coal mining fields, a new lBsue baa been raised by President Thomas L. Lewis of the United Mine Workers' union, which Is a five day working week of eight boars per day. Mr. Lewis says be desires to inaugurate a system of "five days for work, one day for God and one day for humanity.' There are now so many miners in the business that In many sections of the country the men work only two to four lays a week. President Lewis be Meres that by restricting tbe working 'time to forty hoars per week steady employment would become mors general. A MODISH SUIT.

Help For Creator of Billiken Spokane to Take Up Collection to Help Miss Pretz Continue Her Art Studies A Unique Plan.

Spokane, Wash., Dec. 13. Pretty Florence Pretz, creator of Billiken, "God-of-Things-as-They-Ought-to be," Utile dreams that the idol she banished from her modest home at Kansas City because he proved an ungrateful wretch to hisi maker, meanwhile, bringing luck to scores of thousands of worshipers at his shrine, has a pleasant surprise in store for her. The ridiculous, grinning fetish will bring recognition of a substantial kind for her, if the movement to be launched in Spokane is as successful as its promoters expect it to be. Arthur W. Jones, secretary of the One Hundred and Fifty Thousand club of Spokane, which will disband to be re-organized as the Quarter Million club on tbe evening of January 13, is planning a small assessment on the 3,000 members of the organization, also 1,000 candidates to be initiated that

Carrie Nation Gives Out Advice

Saloon Wrecker Talks on Mother-in-laws While in Workhouse Awaiting Trial for Latest Performance.

Washington, D. C, Dec. 13. "The first thing a fellow ought to do when, he goes courting is to get a line on his future mother-in-law, because she's going to be either his best friend or his worst enemy." It was Carrie Nation who confided this bit of philosophy to a reporter last night. The enforced leisure of the Washington workhouse, where she is held pending a hearing on a charge of destroying property, has given Mrs. Nation the chance to turn her attention from her pet theme, and it was an off day for the demon rum as far as she was concerned. "I am going to devote a large part of my time hereafter to seeing that mothers-in-law get the attention they ought to have from the American people," she said, warming to her theme. "Why, a man ought to love his mother-in-law as much as he does his wife, and if he does not it's a sign either that he's soaked all the decency out of him with whiskey or burned it out with these fool cigarettes. If a man does not like the mother of the girl he's going with he better light out and book his spare time somewhere else, because its a sure thing that the girl will turn out to be just like the old lady. "This law of heredity that I've been studying lately is a wonderful thing. Its the keynote of the whole matrimonial problem. Now, if a fellow begins to think his girl's mother is pretty nice dispositioned, he don't need to look any further than that house for a wife. And after he gets married it's most likely that his mother-in-law will be willing to do more for him than his wife will in the way of cooking and economizing and minding his children." Mrs. Nation owns to 63 years, but says she will fight to the death against the demon rum. She has now achieved the crowning triumph of her nine years' crusade the smashing of the glass furnishings in the big union station here. It is on this charge that she will be heard tomorrow. Mrs. Nation says her defense will be that she has not destroyed private property but a public nuisance. She says she will take her case clear to the supreme court of the United States. Carrie thinks that the country has improved in the last three years. "Taft ain't my style." she admitted, "but he's a whole lot better than Teddy Roosevelt. He's a well-meaning

Press Agent Towns Tip Chicago Windy City Receives Lots of Advice on How to Boost Itself Lots of Novel Schemes Are Suggested.

Chicago, Dec. 13 No sooner was It announced that Chicago was about to have a municipal press agent, so that the fact that there is such a place would become more generally known, than advice began pouring in from scores of towns that are noted for keeping their names before the public. Excellent advice comes from the Benevolent Order of Boomers of South Shore Long Island places. Writing from Patchogue, the secretary of the order says: "If we are correctly informed that Chicago Is built on the shore of a great lake, the city has immense possibility for advancement by means of our well known and always successful sea serpent." Dispatches from other cities follow: "Pittsburg. Pa.. Dec ia There was nobody at the office of the Pittsburg city press agent's tonight to comment on the new move in Chicago, as the press agent bureau here is practically disbanded, having overreached itself. Leading citizens advocate hiring an efficient corps that will prevent things about Pittsburg getting Into newspapers. "MontClair, N. J., Dec 13. Our methods have been very simple and affective. Nobody in this town is ever referred to except as "multi-millionaire. Chicago is welcome to this suggestion." J "Philadelphia, Pa.. Dec. 13. This

night, as a nucleus of a Billiken fund. A committee of 250 will then make a canvass of the homes and offices of lumbermen, mine operators, railroad builders, bonanza wheat ranchers, apple growers, land owners and others to levy an assessment of not more than nine cents for every idol found ou the premises. "We expect to raise not less than $1,000 before the close of the campaign," said Mr. Jones in outlining the plan, "and every penny of it will be forwarded to .Miss Pretz, in the event she desires to resume her art studies. The brave girl belongs to us as much as if she were a native daughter of 'The City Beautiful,' and we hope to be able to change her keen disappointment over losing control of her creation to a Joyful realization of things as they should be, and prove that after all Billiken, now repudiated, Is indeed her god of good fortune."

man and he don't drink, and though I may have said at times that he was chasing around the country eating a whole lot more than is good for him, I think he is better than anything in the presidential line we've been getting lately." GREAT RUSH NOW ON Employes at the Local Post Office Are as Busy as a Hive of Bees. POST CARDS ARE BURDEN The holiday rush is on at the local post office and the postman's strenuous existence has commenced. It is estimated that during the Christmas week fully 1,000,000 letters, postal cards and packages will have been handled by the tired clerks who will be greatly relieved when the holidays are over and the busy days are past. Souvenir post cards are a nightmare to the postman during the holidays. For the purpose of ascertaining just how many cards were posted at the local office on the day before Christmas last year, Postmaster Spekenhier undertook the difficult task of counting them as they slid down through the shute. The result was surprising A perfect stream of post cards rolled through the opening at an average cf 6,000 an hour. On Christmas day last year one family in the south end on route No. 13, received 132 souvenir post cards, and while this was an uncommon occurrence, it is not uncommon it is said for many families to receive 40 or SO cards by mail in one day during the holidays. She Clot the Blesslnar. "That young groom," said the minister after the ceremony, "gave me a fifty dollar fee. What a blessing!" "Yes," said his wife, with her hand out, "tt is more blessed to give than to receive." Exchange. Stranarera. Mrs. de Fashion (at a children's party) Marie! Nursegirl Yes, ma'am.

Novalls. city has had great success with a 'carnival of crime' every other month and a 'wave of reform' in the alternating months. For a new town like Chicago it would be better in the beginning to have the carnival last six weeks and cut the wave down to a fortnight, as refocm is almost sure to repel new citizens who might otherwise venture to live in Chicago." "Boston, Mass., Dec. 13. This town owes its prominence to beans and culture, the beans being real and the culture a bluff. It would be easy for Chicago to imitate our culture or get one just as good, but she could never bake beans with the same flavor and crispness." "Newport. R. I.,. Dec. 13. Nothing in the experience of press agents here would be of help to a man in a crude place like Chicago." "Penn Yan, N. Y., Dec. 13,-Chicago must have a historic house in which W. J. Bryan slept on the night he learned he was not elected." "Winsted, Conn.. Dec. 13. If Chicago could get a man to write the same sort of dope about all the cows in the stock yards that Winsted's man writes about the few animals in this village. New York would never be heard of again." "Peacock, N. J., Dec 13. This town is known all over the country for its Smith family reunions. Let the Smiths of Chicago get together.

BIG COMPANY FOR AIR NAVIGATION

English Capitalists Are to Purchase Big Tract of Land in West. WILL MAKE EXPERIMENTS NEW AEROPLANE INVENTION IS CHIEFLY BASED ON THE THEORY OF GYROSCOPE MOTION, LIKE MONO-RAIL. (American News Service) Sacramento, Cal., Dec. 13. A gigan tic project for the development of the Aeroplane on an entirely scientific basis and planned to involve over $3,000,000, has been launched by English capitalists, and a representative is now on his way to Kings county where it is planned to purchase at least a thousand acres of land along Tulare Lake for a manufacturing site and experiment grounds. The new aeroplane invention is chiefly based on the theory of gyro scope motion as applied by the Brennan mono-rail transportation system of England, which by a recent experi ment has established its practicability. In tbe single rail vehicle the power and balance is derived by two of the gyroscope wheels running in op posite directions in vacuum tanks. Mr. Holliston declares that the new aeroplane will have this as its pivotal feature, and that a small model which they have made proves their theory to be practical. The new company will be incorporated under the California laws, capitalizing for either five or ten million dollars. Soap Bubble Parties. These are most interesting for all sizes and ages. Good clay pipes and castile soap and bowls enough to go around are the needful things; also a room which will not be hurt by a sprinkling of sonpsuds. And one thing more the smaller the child the bigger the apron to cover him. A little glycerin in the lukewarm soapsuds will make the bubbles brighter and more durable, and if a thick shawl is spread on the floor they will bounce upon it like rubber balls. A bubble tournament is great fun. Arrange sides, with leaders. Let one side step forward in a line with pipes and bowls. Then the leader starts and sees how many bubbles he can make with one dip of his pipe. Each of his followers does likewise, while some one not in the game keeps the score. Then the other side takes its turn, and the side which blows the greatest number is the prize winner. Ball on Horseback. For this game half the players must be mounted on the backs of the other half. Catchball is then played in the ordinary way. the riders doing the throwing and catching, while the steeds do their best to help them by running to where the ball seems likely to fall. The stronger boys should be the horses and take the smaller ones for riders. Conundrums. Why is love like a potato? It grows less by paring (pairing).
