HAS THE LARGEST CIRCULATION HIS SENATORSHIP COST $111,385.49 That the reelection of Isaac Stephen son of Wisconsin to the United States Senate cost him $111,385.49, and that the United States Senate will have to undertake another investigation on a par with the "Lorimer Case" is charged by Alfred Henry Lewis in the June issue of Cosmopolitan Magazine. Mr. Lewis says in part: "Having organized his campaign, Mr. Stephenson knocked in the head of his barrel—he confessed that it contained about $112,000—and told Mr. Edmonds, Game Warden Stone, Mr. Puelicher, and the others to get busy. They got busy, as appeared by the evidence taken before the Senate Investigation Committee, in every corrupt fashion known to politics and politicians. There were quorum-breaking and deadlocking, and the days dragged on. If a quorum were in the room, a majority of that quorum would elect. But always and ever Mr. Stephenson lacked that majority. At last there came a tired day, when many Democrats and anti-Stephenson Republicans—of that sort that fall asleep at the switch—were absent. In all one hundred and twenty-six were present." AN EASTERN SEWER FARM Located One and One Half Miles from City, Has No Disagreeable Odors The Clinton, Mich., Republican of date May 18 contains the following reference to its city sewer farm: Whenever the name "city sewer farm" is mentioned a picture naturally comes to the mind of the citizen who is unfamiliar with real conditions that is about the opposite kind we see enclosed in gilded frames. The city sewer farm, however, is probably little known to the average citizen and a visit would prove considerable of a surprise, as it is not the place one would naturally imagine. This is especially true since the farm has been under the management of Marshall Tinkham, which has been for the past five years. The "farm" is located 1 1/2 miles north of the city and comprises about 17 acres. During Marshall Tinkham's regime it has been cleared of all the brush and second growth and the surface of the ground presents an appearance similar to the plowed field of a farm. The surface is kept in condition by being divided into two parts. For two or three weeks the sewage is allowed to run into one half of the farm; it is then diverted for a like period of time into the other half and the surface that was first covered is then plowed to make filtration an easy matter, this method being pursued as much as possible the year around. This process does away with almost all odor and keeps the surface of the ground practically clean. The bed of the farm is laid with 4 inch lateral tile, placed 12 1/2 feet apart. These take up the sewage from the soil and carry it to the main 8-inch tile, which empties into an open ditch at the north end of the farm. By the time the sewage reaches this point the purification process has caused it to resemble pure running water. St. Johns has apparently found a good solution of the problem of the They got busy, as appeared by the evidence taken before the Senate Investigation Committee, in every corrupt fashion known to politics and politicians. There were quorum-breaking and deadlocking, and the days dragged on. If a quorum were in the room, a majority of that quorum would elect. But always and ever Mr. Stephenson lacked that majority. At last there came a tired day, when many Democrats and anti-Stephenson Republicans—of that sort that fall asleep at the switch—were absent. In all one hundred and twenty-six were present and voting—a quorum. If Mr. Stephenson could but poll a majority, sixty-four, he would win. But the most he could muster, and do his best, was sixty-three. So the vote stood. Then the unexpected, not to say the suspicious came to pass. Three Democrats arose—looking like sheep-killing dogs—and left the chamber. The whole vote following this desertion was one hundred and sixty-three. Mr. Stephenson, still polling his sixty-three, was declared elected." Corroboration of this startling charge is given in the testimony of ex-Sheriff Knell. Says he: "I looked at the campaign as a plain business proposition and paid a corps of workmen to get the best results. I hired men and paid them to work because of their being well acquainted, having a large circulation of friends and being able to get those people. There were a lot of my friends who came to me and they said, 'Billy, if you were a candidate for office we would not only devote our own time but spend our own money; but why should we do it for Stephenson, who is advertised broadcast in this state as being worth thirty millions?' Mr. Lewis concludes: "Mr. Stephenson should lose his place in the Senate. There is little question as to the bribery and corruption by which he compassed his election. The present is not a Lorimer Senate. To be sure, its membership cannot be described as altogether virtuous. Considered for its honesty, it isn't wholly snow-white. And yet it will refuse to applaud corruption, and by endorsing those Stephenson bribes declare that seats in its own sacred body may be bought and sold for money. Mr. Stephenson will go. And in that going, criminal money will lose a senator, the people will gain one. The Senate will be relieved thereby of futility, Wisconsin washed of its disgrace, Mr. LaFollette granted a new colleague." The June issue of the Cosmopolitan has lots of really good fiction by Jack London. Robert W. Chambers, George Randolph Chester and others in addition to this startling political expose. You will find it well worth reading.

PICNIC County Park to Be Scene of Festivities June 23 Each year the Young Mens Christian Association of Orange County conducts some event which is planned for all the people of the county. This year it is to be a picnic. The date fixed for this county-wide picnic is Friday, June 23. The Orange county park is the place. Since it is one of the objects of the Y.M.C.A. to promote health and vigor of mind and body, and since it recognizes play as a vital factor in securing these ends, the committee has planned to make plays and games one of the prominent features of the picnic. In addition to plays and games there will be many stirring athletic events. Also a number of sports open to the older boys. Dinner is to be a basket lunch. The committee will provide the drinkables. It is hoped that all who are interested in the welfare of the youth of our county will plan to go. Full programmes will be published later. The county committee of Young Men's Christian Association has decided that the secretary can more easily reach his work if he makes his headquarters in Santa Ana, rather than in Fullerton. As a result of this decision Secretary Ludden has taken a house at 1352 Durant St. and will move to Santa Ana the first of June. REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS Huldah A. Carter et al to W. O.

Schmitz is in Mexico, dead broke, all his business ventures having gone wrong. When Schmitz was trying to get out of jail on bail he secured the assistance of William J. Dingee, an Oakland capitalist. In return Dingee induced Schmitz to invest many thousands of dollars of his ill-gotten wealth in a large cement factory near Santa Cruz, in this State. This company was dragged down into ruin when Dingee failed last year, and Schmitz lost every cent he had invested in it. Then the mine into which Schmitz put considerable money, at Oroville, in Butte county, pinched out after having shown some very rich ore. Schmitz balanced his cash book last Tuesday and finding only a nominal sum to carry forward, hit the trail for Mexico, whither, many restless Americans had just preceded him. Schmitz is not going to the troubled republic to wield the sword or gun, nor to carry the banners of Diaz or Madero. He seeks not war, but pelf. In fact, Schmitz, in company with his brother, Frank, starts for Mexico to develop 1,250,000 acres of timber land in the state of Michoacan, on which he and his associates have a fifteen year lease. He—But couldn't you learn to love me, Anaa? She—I dont think I could Harry. He—(reaching for his hat)—It is as I feared—you are too old to learn.

Center St STRINGING PEARLS A Difficult Task That Calls For Skill and Judgment. CORDED ON SURGEON'S SILK. A Soft, Round Strand of Pure White Woven Thread is Employed, and an Intricate System of Knotting Guards the Gems Should the String Break. Every now and then a story is printed about the loss of a valuable string of pearls through the breaking of the cord on which they were hung and their slipping off and scattering over the floor or sidewalk. Those who know anything about the stringing of pearls, however, always read these tales with incredulity, because nowadays, as a general thing, only false pearls or those of small price are strung without a knot being tied between each of them, so that if the cord breaks no more than one can fall off. It is common belief that because of their great value pearls are strung on something durable, like catgut or wire. As a matter of fact such material is never employed. There is no beauty to a string of pearls that looks wiry or stiff. It must be flexible to the highest degree, otherwise all its graceful effect will be lost. Up to the time of the introduction of surgeon's silk for pearl stringing nothing had been found that would absolutely meet the requirements of strength and flexibility. That the most valuable pearls are today strung on cords of surgeon's silk is due to the suggestion of a woman employer of a New York jeweler.

The tree was about to be cut down to make way for county improvements. In view of its historic interest the board has spared it. Besides bearing the names of nearly all the old pioneers of those parts carved into its trunk with dates far back into the past, the oak is rich with local traditions. Lewis and Clarke, whose names are to be seen desired and the number of large pearls is not sufficient imitation pearls of the exact size and color are often substituted. Some of these imitations will deceive the eye of any but the most expert. It often happens that the largest pearls have the smallest holes drilled through them, for every grain that is taken from the pearl reduces it in weight. In such cases, however, the risk of the cord breaking is increased owing to the slenderness of the thread and the sharp edges of the pearls cutting through it quickly. Stringing pearls is never done with a needle. A needle is not yielding enough to pass through very small holes, and the doubling of its diameter at the eye makes its use impracticable. Therefore the end of the thread is sharpened to a very fine point, which is waxed stiffly enough to be used exactly as a needle would be. Ordinarily pearl stringing is mechanically difficult and also requires taste and judgment. The pearls may have to be rearranged in order to improve their general appearance. In the laying out of collarets especially a great deal of skill is required. In the first place, the collaret must fit exactly. This seems comparatively easy, but it is not. A pattern is always fitted beforehand, but it is rarely the case that the result is satisfactory the first time. Some necks require straight collars and others slightly curved. The same care is given to the fitting of a collaret as to the set of an expensive gown, and it has to be tried on and changed and adjusted as many times. Dividers are used to gauge the exact position in which the vertical diamond bars that support the strands of pearls should be placed. Endless care and judgment may be given to laying out the pattern for one of these baubles and getting the measurements absolutely exact, but when it comes to be fitted there is sure to be trouble. It may be too tight at the bottom and too loose at the top, or perhaps the ends may not even meet at all.—Thaddeus S. Dayton in Chicago Record-Herald. Gordon—What do you think of the cigar I gave you? It was smuggled. Mann—I was just wondering how it got past the health authorities.

Besides bearing the names of nearly all the old pioneers of those parts carved into its trunk with dates far back into the past, the oak is rich with local traditions. Lewis and Clarke, whose names are to be seen as plainly as they were when cut into the wood a century ago, camped under the old tree in their march through. Nobody knows how old the tree is but it is still sturdy in its gnarled strength of hale old age. School Bond Election Notice.
