Salter For Legislature On
State Ticket
i
Since my Fourth of July speech at the Amorita celebration
I have sought in the limited time of the primary campaign to
meet as many of the voters of the county as possible I have
public speeches in Jet Helena Aline and Carmen besides devot-
ing my entire time to the campaign
At Cherokee Saturday night July 30 1 shall make the clos-
ing speech of my campaign and invite any other candidates to
speak aiso to the people Those who have had no opportunity of
hearing me and those of my friends who would care to hear me
a second time I would appreciate having present
While I served in the army that of itself does not qualify me
for the position I seek aad as I haye repeatedly stated 'through-
out the campaign I submit my candidacy to the people iipmi my
fitness I ask for no sympathy vote or reward I want to be
judged solely upon my merits
Remember my name does not appear upon the county ballot
but is on the REPUBLICAN STATE BALLOT under the head of
"Legislative Officers" at the close of the ticket
I wish to thank and shall ever remember the kind words
encouragement and splendid support given me by so many 1 liave
met all over the county I am more than ever determined that
among the progressive intelligent whole-souled and liberty-loving
people of Alfalfa county I want to spend the balance of my days
Whether elected or not 1 shall devote my obility and energy
to the furtherance and promotion of the good government well-
being prosperity and happiness of this my home county

JOSEPHINE'S
POET ?!
By RAY LEWIS
(4) 120 by UcClur Nctripapor Syndicate)
Josephine tossed her traveling hat
on the bed and turned to the mirror to
repulr the dumage done to livr hulr
during the long ride on the train
MYou don't know how good It Is to
get home mother even If It Is only for
week" she mid taking out her
combs nliil letting dowu u flood of
chestnut hair
Her mother watching tier wns
thinking that nt any rate Josephine's
(sojourn fur nearly a year just oft'
Washington square hadn't caused her
to bob her balr like the other villagers
But aloud she merely said: "We're nil
glad to have you home dcarund the
time will go all too quickly"
"By the way" said Josephine ns
one to whom something hns Just oc-
fiirrml "I lie last duv of my stay I am
expecting down to meet yon oil the
man who wants to marry nie
"Josephine!" gasped her mother
InL-lnir weilklv llnWIl llllOll tllO l)Cll
"Josephine I And I suppose It Is one of
ihno ilrenilful men vou have been see
Ing with long balr and soft collnrs
and— nnd oh I wish you hud never
taenr trnno flmvn there I
"Come mother" urged Josephine
hrlsklv "be sensible lie Isn't ns bad
as all that!"
no iinonn't nilnt or write or — or
anything like that does her asked "°r
riiier nlendlnir for n negative repiy
Josephine appeared to meditate her
head on one side her brusn pise m
her streaming locks "les sue sum
elinrtfi' "lie Writes"
And with that her nioller tried to be
iuni ffr the time being
Not so the other membors of the
family Jo's fourleeu-jeur-old brother
i
or ine newcomer to the conatornatlon
ot her open-mouthed family
'Did play the game Jo uenri" ne
asked
'You certainly did I" cried Josephine
nnd seizing his hand she faced her
mystified family "Allow nie" she
siii u-ith n fttvoonlnff rpirnl vesture
"lo Introduce Richard Borden my lu-
itended husband"
' "But— how about this Ncdrobsky
'follow?" cried Billy giving utterauce
to what all the rest were thinning
'Win— that old name Is only my fu
ture surname spelled backwards with
the 'sky added to give It tne toucu
von nil seemed to demand I intended
"to give you Just a little surprise but
when you ull Insisted on mcrlblng tu
inv TP itii n I sons III uuevr umiu"' l
: ' i
Istlcs I decided to pluy tne game iorj i
nil It was worth I Just let yourj
tiimii'lita jun nwuv with you And I I
wrote to Dick about It nud that Is why
he sent the postal and why ne uiu noi
iive himself awuy wheu fuUier asked
him up here tonight I
"But you said you met him nt a tea" j
reproached Sally
"I did" suld Josephine promptly
"but 1 didn't say that was the first
time I hud met him And I told the
truth when 1 said he writes for isn't
he the spurting editor of the New York
Clarion y '
After supper when josepnino mm
UlUck had beeu tactfully left by them
selves fr a moment Diet took both
Jo's hands In his "Darling" he suld
'before 1 left the city I had un Inspira-
tion I axed up my columns and as-
signments for a week ahead so thill
liow I ciin get off for a few days
Marry nie In the morning and we'll run
ii way Mr a little trip You might us
'well do it sooner as Inter I even got
in town early to see about the license
Say yes please"
And what her nnswer must have
been Is evident from the conversation

i "Josephine!" Gasped Har Mother
and sixteen-year-old sister and nice
ruiiL'cii father were consumed
with curiosity over the possibly pros-
! I v new number of the family
"I always knew Jo wouliln t pick oui
anybody In this slow old town" said
Biily wjjh utter frankness "and It's
Just like her to go In for some qtiect
duck !"
"Where did you meet him''" asked
her father
"Well" said Josephine after n mo-
ment's hesitation "I met him nt Daisy

There was n coming man for you ! And

Webster put thnt same idea in his pipe

and hard

Tt vorr noon of Josephine's last
day home and of the day of Mr Ned-
mhatrv'a nrpivnl Mr Webster coming
home for lunch sought out his wife
"Helen" lie said "what do you think!

"Well maybe" said his wife not
without hope herself "but in niraia
Joesphine won't like It"
As a matter of fact Josephine was
quite decent about It She did any thnt
she supposed It was somewhat unusual
to ask an old suitor to meet his suc-
cessor but If she could stand It she
'guessed he could and she knew her

An extensive research on radio

ous types of aerials ns been In prog-
ress nt the bureau of standards Wash-
ington D C says the Scientific Amer-
ican One of tho most Interesting
questions nt the present time is as to
the relative advantages of the an-
tenna or usunl type of elevated aerlul
nnd tho smaller coll aerial or "loop"
This quelon Is answered by tho
studies of the bureau The small coil
aerial has many advantages but is
usually not so powerful a transmitting
and receiving device us the antenna
type of aerlul It mny however have
so much lower resistance than the an-
tenna thnt It Is equal to it in trans-
mitting and receiving value
