The Congressional Contest
The conteat in this district for the
Republican nomination for Congress
is void of any hip-hip-hurrah busi
ness, the campaign assuming an at
titude of quiet, cairn judgment. And
the situation should be of that nat
ure. Fair mioded voters are always
willing that a representatire who has
served his government as well ss his
constituents with loyalty to them
9hould be given another term. S.
Taylor North's usefulness to the State
and this district when he was a mem
ber of the Legislature is recognized
as being of sound judgment, and
already his service as aCongressman
has provento one and ali that Mr.
North stands firm on the principals
that make for good government and j
a free and happy nation.
Mr. North's unquestioned loyalty
to his party has never misled him
!nto an unpatriotic attitude, and only
recently he gave fresh evidence of
his breadth of mind by supporting
the President on an important in
ternational question.
Every sane man knows that it is
the heighth of folly to elect a new
manto Congress every tinie one is to
be elected, and in this district the
leaders as well as the masses have
always advocated sending a man at
least twice to Congress. When that
is the rule it is only fair that ali should
be treated alike, and when the district
has a useful man m Congress it is
only just that he should be given the
second teim. None questions Mr.
North's loyalty to his party, and none
questions the eamestness aad s nceritv
ia his stand for the enactment of laws
that are for the best interests of the
country. Ali that is asked for is an
honeßt and wholesome consideration
of Mr. North's record in ihe State <
Legislature, and what he might be i
able to accomplish for us in Congress i
through his past experience and abil- 1
ity in legislature affaire.
In times likethese, when warclouds
threaten and the very foundations of j
earth tremble with the thunders of
almost world-wide conflict it is well
for our government to have good,
practical, commonsense men at Wash
ington, and when our representative
understands that situation and knows
the country's needs,it would be un
wise to make a chance.
FIRST-AID TO THE INJURED
Washington, D. C., Aprii 13-Since
the inception of the United States
Bureau of Mmes careful and pains
taking study has been given to the
problem of safeguarding the lives of
those who must toil underneath the
ground with the result that much has
been accompliseed along this line.
However the enthusiastic co operation
of the Miners themselves has done
much to assist Uncle Sam in this hu
mane work and so to further the ends
souglit there has been issued a pub
lication compiled by the bureau, and
styled « 'FIRST- AID INSTRUCTION
FOR MINERS."
Officials of the bureau believe that
a copy of this publication should be
in the possession of every miner and
with the desire that thcse engaged in
the industry in the counties of Arm
strong, Clarion, Indiana and Jeffer
son shall have access to the valuable
information contained therein, Con
gressman S. Taylor Northof Punxsu
tawney, has secured a supply and will
be pleased to mail them free of any
charges to ali who will make the re
quest.
The cireular is intended to serve as
a guide to Miners in rendering aid to
injured fellcw workmen. It is pro
fusely illustrated and besides furnish
ing information as to anatomy and
physiology contains a wealth of in
struction as to the proper treatment
of ali sorts f injuries as well as the
bandaging and dressing for wounds.
It vras prepared under the direction
of some of the foremost experts in
the country and is considered one of
most useful publications e ver issued
by the government.

of an honest, energetlc young man,
who was clerklng in a store not far

he had built the cabln in whieh he and

asked her why she had asked the
question. She replied that erery now
and again she bad heard a sound llke
earth thrown from a ahovel.
"Qo to sleep, my dear," he replied.
"You llred so many years in the sound
of dirt thrown out of holes in the
ground that it has got on your nerres."
The next night Ellen fanded she
heard the s&me sound, but, slnce Mark
had not heard it and thtnktng ahe
would trcmble him by calllng his atten

click in her braln, sbe did not wake

would bear tbe sound, apparently not
far from the house, of a ahorelful of
earth thrown on tbe ground. Tben

would bear another ahorelful to—ad.
It seemed to her, from below, as
though some one were digglng la a
trench. Once or twice ahe thought she
heard a pick strlke a stona, bcrt of this
she waa not aure. She could not lo
cate tbe sounda, but it seemed to ber

lot in rear of the cabln.

thlng had gone wrong wlth ber. As
soon as he had departed for the store
ahe went out to the rear of what waa
a four acre lot, half expectlng to flnd
that some clalm jumper had been dlg

up appeared.
There was a thick undergrowth sep

stone a few feet high furaished a con

idly plcked up a loose piece of the
stone. Tr-ramiwing it, she notlced that
it pmented a rather singular appear
ance. Her father had often shown her
sucb pieces of ore, which, he sald.
were rery rich in gold.
Ellen took the fragment to the cabln
aad put it in her bureau drawer; then,
t»king her father's pick and shorel.
ahe went back to the spot from which
she had taken the stone and began to

su no» the place was concealed by
undergrowth, Mark did not notlce the
excaratlon. Ellen, who had had a long
experience in the appearance of ore,
