11 CARS POTATOES CREAMERY IN PERIL (Continued from first ‘page). could be made a great success, makes it all the more advisable to keep tire «creamery to the town. “If this creamery closes its doors, it is almost sure to make its present -supporters bitter to the proposition, and it will take a long time for this prejudice to wear away. “If the farmers could only under- :stand that it is for their benefit that .the creamery is in existence and that «conditions will be worse than ever if it quits, they would rally to its sup- port.” ‘SOCIALISTS ARE IN THE LEAD Pary’t Candidate for Mayor in Los Angeles Has Highest Vote. Los Angeles, Cal., Nov. 2—With the ‘Probable exception of City Attorney John S. Shenk, good government can- didate for re-election, the primary re- sulted in no election. Although the record total of more than 45,000 votes were cast the primary proved only an -elimination contest to reduce the tick- et from ninety-nine candidates to ‘twenty for the final struggle over the ‘question of whether Los Angeles shall have a Socialist city administration ‘during the\ next two years. The “Strength of the Socialist vote was the -outstanding feature of the primary. The final election is set for Dec. 5, when Job Harriman, one of the law- .yers in the defense of the McNamara brothers, and Socialist candidate for mayor, will contest with George Alex- ander, the incumbent. ‘With but a few unimportant pre- cincts yet remaining to be totaled the vote on-the two leading mayqralty candidates stood: Harriman, 19,883; Alexander, 16,218. Alexander forces, foreseeing a hard ‘fight at the election Dec. 5, have be- ‘gun formulating plans “to wipe social- ism off the map.” WIS PICTURE USED IN AD ‘Kansas City Tot Awarded Damages of $350. Kansas City, Nov. 2.—A jury in the reircuit court here has awarded $350 ‘damages to Orel Munden, a five-year- old boy, because a local jeweler used his picture in an advertisement. In the suit against the jeweler it was -explained that this inscription was ‘printed in the newspapers in connec- tion with the photograph of the child: “Papa is going to buy mamma a watch for Christmas and somebody (1 wont tell who) is going to buy sister a diamond ring. What are you going to buy for me?” MARIE BOOTH MANTELL DEAD ‘Wife of Actor Succumbs to Heart Dis- ease at Summer Home. Atlantic Highlands, N. J,, Nov. 2.— Mrs. Marie Booth Mantell, wife of Robert Mantell, the actor, and herself well known as a co-star with her hus- band, {s dead at her summer home here.

REITERATES HIS DENIALS| Hines Again on Stand in Stephenson Probe—Brands Evidence False— Denies Dispute. STORY TOLD ON STAND UNTRUE Milwaukee, Nov. 2—Edward Hines, the lumber man, again denied before the senatorial investigating’committee that he had anything to do wrongfully with the election of Senator Isaac Stephenson. ¢ “A story has been told before this committee that you attempted to ob- struct the election of Mr. Stephenson with a view to obtaining money from him; but you went to Washington and suggested he put up half of $110,000 to put the election over. Is that true?” Mr. Hines was asked. “It’s absolutely untrue,” replied Mr. Hines. “It has been stated that you had a dispute with Robert J. Shields over the amount of money Shields was to get for ‘putting over’ Senator Ste- phenson’s election; that in that dis- pute you threatened to send Shields to the penitentiary and that, when so threatened, Shields replied to you: ‘I have burnt your buildings for you, have bribed the assessors for you and committed every crime-in the cal-' endar for you except murder, and if I go to the penitentiary you’ll have to Bo too.’ Did any such dispute take place?” “Certainly not. I never had a dis- pute with Shields over Senator Ste- phenson’s election, nor did I ever pay him any money in connection with it.” The alleged dispute betWeen Hines and Shields had been given to the committee by State Senator Paul O. Husting. Husting testified he had se- cured the information from Wirt H. Cook in an attorney’s office in the spring of 1909 in the presence of Lieutenant Governor Thomas Morris. Cook got his information from Dan- iel Haley of Duluth. It was admitted by all the witnesses that the informa- tion involving Hines and Shields was based on hearsay. No one statéd | when or where the alleged dispute took place. e PLAN A VIGOROUS CAMPAIGN La Follette Headquarters Opened at “ Chicago. Chicago, Nov. 2.—Plans have been completed for opening the La Follette national headquarters in Chicago at once. The progressives plan to start things with a whoop immediately and to make Chicago the center of the campaign movement. The headquarters will be kept open in Washington throughout the cam- paign, but the heavy work, it is under- stood, will fall on the Chicago head- quarters. Walter Rogers, who was prominent in the Merriam campaign last spring, probably will be placed in charge of the Chicago headquarters. Lafferty for La Follette. Portland, Ore., Nov. 2.—Congress- man Lafferty, one of the Republicans representing Oregon in congress, has announced that he would break abso- lutely with the Taft wing of the Re publican party. He promised to sup- port La. Follette for the Republican nomination for president and added that should the Republican candidate be a standpatter he would vote for the Democratic nominee. ) Banker Mistaken for “Scab.” New Orleans, Nov. 2.—Mistaken for a strikebreaker, Walter’ D. Allen, a banker of Terrell, Tex., on the way to the Illinois Central station, was at- tacked and so severely beaten b strikers or sympathizers that he ha¢ to be carried to a hotel and put to bed Cold in Missouri Valley. Kansas City, Nov. 2.—A real fore- taste of winter, bearing snow and freez- |ing temperatures, swept over the Mis- souri Valley states. From a tempera- ture of zero in Bismarck, N. D., the thermometer graded down to 28 de grees in Northern Kansas and Miz souri. Churches Scored for Using Wine. Milwaukee, . Nov. 2—The use of fer- mented wine for sacramental purposes in churches was scored before the delegates at the session of the thirty- eighth annual convention of the W. €. T. U. here. Mrs. H. J. Hollins- worth, superintendent of the Unfer- mented Wines League of Ohio, was the speaker. Too Many Books. Barnaby Rich in his preface to “A New Description of Ireland,” published in 1600, writes: “One of the diseases of i this age is the multitude of books that doth so overcharge the world that ; it is not able to digest the abundance of idle matter that is every day hatch- ed and brought into the world, that |are as divers in their forms as their authors be in their faces. It is but a thriftless and thankless occupation. this writing of books. A man were better to sit singing in a cobbler’s shop, for his pay is certainly a penny a patch! But a book writer, if he gets sometimes a few commendations of the judicious, he shall be sure to reap a thousand reproaches of the ma- licious.” : SAMUEL BROWNE. Detective Hunts Missing Man asMcNamara Witness. ® 1911, by American Press Association. HUNTS M’'NAMARA WITNESS Prosecution Can’t Find John Toft- house, Important to Its Case. Los Angeles, Cal, Lofthouse, one of the state’s more im- portant witnesses against James B.! McNamara, is missing. Sam Browne, chief detective of the distriot attorney’s office, has been searching for him many days, but he will not discuss the matter. Lofthouse was a friend of “Cocky” Schmidt and “J. B. Brice,” who is de- clared to have been James B. McNa- mara. Prayer Halls In Russia. In the villages of Russia the “prayer hall” is the common izba or cottage of a Stundist moujik, or a shed attach- ed to a very primitive farmstead sur rounded by prodigious quantities of mud, dust or snow, according to the season of the year. A separate build: ing erected expressly for - worship among the rural evangelicals of'Rus- sia is a Juxury yet to be provided in the great majority of cases. The meét ing place, whether izba or outliopse, has walls of earth. It is without' cell- ing. The floor is the bare earth, trod- den hard by many feet through the lapse of long years and worn into lumps and hollows. The walls are lime wash ed and destitute of decoration or adorn ment. ‘There are rough ‘wooden bench es around and across the reom. The place is usually packed to suffocation with men, women and children crowd ed on the seats, thronging the door- ways and huddling together on the top of the huge stove.—Sunday at Home. No Use. Pocahontas had saved the life of Captain John Smith, “What would have been the use of killing him, anyhow, pa?’ she said. “There are millions of other John Smiths, and there wouldn't have been a line about it in the papers.” Her news instinct was unerring. Saving the captain’s life made a first page story of the affair. — Chicago News. " THE BEMID. DAILY PIONEER AN INSPIRING TRIBUTE. it Made a Remarkable Scene In the House of Representatives. A, touching scene occurred in the house of; representatives a number. of years ago when an aged member from New Jersey arose and for the first time addressed the speaker. All eyes were -turned in his direction as he stood calmly awaiting recognition. He was tall, spare and erect. His vener- able appearance and kindly expression, coupled with most courteous manners, at once commanded attention. As in husky tones he again said “Mr.’ Speaker” there came from the farthest end of the great hall in a whisper, but distinctly heard by all, the words, “Sweet Alice, Ben Bolt."” A moment later and from the floor and gallery many voices blended in the familiar refrain, “Don’t you re- member sweet Alice, Ben Bolt?” The ovation which immediately fol- | lowed was such as is rarely witnessed in the great hall. Business was sus- pended for the moment and the hand of the new member warmly grasped Nov. 2.—John ! | by the chosen representatives of all parties and sections. It was an inspir- ing tribute, one worthily bestowed. The member was Thomas Dunn Eng- lish, author of the little poem, sung in palace and cottage, which found its way into all languages and touched all hearts.—Adlai E. Stevenson in “Some- thing of Men I Have Known.” CURIOUS ESKIMO LIVING. The Pallet Rooms In Homes Entirely Devoid of Furniture. “Furniture is quite unknown in a common Eskimo home,” writes the wife of the Danish governor of Green- land, Anna Bistrup, in an article on “Eskimo Women In Greeland” in the Century. “The houses of the Eskimos are all built of stone and turf, with the win- dows opening toward the sun, the one entrance always being on the side that is least exposed to the wind. Along the back wall runs a platform, a pallet of boards, raised eighteen inches above the floor. It is from six to eight feet deep, and through its whole length it is divided into rooms or spaces of eight or ten feet. Each room is sepa- rated from the neighboring room by a partition of board or skin. An open passage runs the whole length of the house along the pallet rooms and serves for the traffic of all the inmates, but each pallet room claims for its own the bit of passageway adjoining. “Each pallet room is occupied by one family, and there they stay night and day. The best pallet room is the in- nermost and is always occupied by the owner of the house or the oldest if the house has more than one owner.” Worthy of the Highest. The talk had turned to the orphan children of Henry Doane of Cherry- ville. stage driver how they had prospered. | “They've done first rate,” was the hearty response. ‘*‘Both of them have done first rate. “Joe Eddie, he learned the carpenter’s trade and has worked right along, and as for Emma Susan—well, I'll tell you what somebody from over the Center said to me only last week about her in conversation regarding her husband. “Emma Susan married Frank Bax- ter, one of the James Baxters. Well, that man from the Center, he said to me: ‘I hear Frank Baxter's been cho- sen selectman. Well, I don’t know but what he’ll do all right for you,’ he said; ‘but, whether he’s the man for the place or not, there's one thing certain— if ever a woman looked suitable to the position of selectman’s wife and would do it credit Emma Susan Baxter's that | woman?

HE South Bend Watch Company might use garnet jewels in their watches instead of ruby and sapphire jewels as many other watch com- panies do and thus greatly re- duce the cost of production. You would not notice the difference in buying. But, if garnet jewels were used, the watch would not have any such lasting qualities— and the South Bend Watch Com- pany believes it is better to have smaller profits and satisfied custom- ers than large profits and dissatisfied customers. That's the way we feel about it, too, which accounts for our giving South Bend watches the preference. GEOD. T. BAKER & CO.
