l.. c. Vandivier of Sharon, has got
his name in print, but he had to go 10 a
republican paper at the south end of
the county to do 1t. In other words he
has exploded through the Kiowa
Journal, and about the only effect it
will have will be to decrease the circu-
latlon OF the Journal for the remainder
OF the campaign. Now what does this
explosion amount to when sifted down
TO the facts. 1t amounts to an admis.
sion Dy Vandivler that he was trying
in violation of law to hold possession of
farm that he says had been foreclosed
on behalf of a widow woman. Wheth-
er she was poor woman or not he does
not state; he probably was SO much
taken up in grieving over the effects
this affair would have on the poor man
that he did not take time to inquire as
to whether this woman was rich or
poor. But one thing he does and that
is to get three lawyers to assist him in
holding possession OF this farm that he
admits belonged to this widow woman.
And this after admitting that one
MIR. Beals had been appointed receiver
OF the farm. If Mr.. Vandivier wanted
to hold this farm aud have no trouble
in doing SO why did he not see MIR.
Beals, the only man that could have
made contract with him that would
have entitled him to hold on. He leaves
fn nioo L.
have given him the privileges he want
ed, hence he goes to some one that &C.
cordlng to his own explosion was only
employed as an attorney in the fore
closure suit.
Now while Mr.. Vandivier has had
the exalted privilege of seeing his name
in print he has also had the privilege of
letting the people know that he was the
first to do wrong in the matter IL
not the only one. We are not posted
on scripture and are not able to say
whether his quotation is true or not.
We suppose it Is one he has picked up
somewhere, for if he was we'll read on
this line he would hardly have been
caught in this law suit, for whether it
Is scripture or not we have been
brought up to believe that when one
wants justice he must first see that his
cause is just; it will not do to 60 into
court asking for something when our
hands are not clean. And while we do
not pretend to claim that Judge Mckay
is perfect judge, we must say that in
this particular case he was certainly
right. While 1t Is true he did not favor
the poor man ia this case it is equally
true that the poor man knew when he
engaged in the case that he was trying
to hold this farm contrary to law, and
that he was not only defying the law
and the courts but was also imposing
and trampling on the legal rights, ac-
cording to his explosion, not of some
rich corporation nor some rich banker,
but a widow woman. Our advice to
Mr.. Vandivier is to keep right on writ
Ing and by the time he is able to accom-
plishes the defeat of the Judge we will
be pretty we'll informed as to what
manner Of man he Is. DEMOCRAT.

Expert" Patterson made a report to
the commissioners last week. He found
ex-Treasurer Potes short 2 cents, ex-
Treasurer Jones. SO cents, anu ex- Clerk
Gaddie 1922. So. We Laye not seen MIR.
GaddIe with reference to the matter
but it is we'll understood that the
shortage" is made to appear from the
fact that he did not charge fees on GER
tain acknowledgements, such as pension
vouchers, etc. The Attorney General
about three years decided that the mat.
ter of fees in such cases was at the dis
erection of the county clerk and Mr.. Cad
die concluded to give the patrons of his
Office the benefit of the decision. We
understand that County Clerk Holmes
has been following the same practice
but after Patterson made his report he
was ordered by the commissioners to
charge the customary fee hereafter.
This little republican game will excite
nobody. The people of Barber county
have had enough to do with experts
to know what report they are employed
to make. The fact Is Mr.. Gaddie is not
short dollar. If he made no charges
on certain instruments 1t was because
he believed that he was warranted by
the law in so doing. 1t will be a hard
matter for the republican politicians to
convince the people OF Barber county
that r. D. Gaddie is not an honest
man. He has been citizen here long
time and is too thoroughly known to
rest under any suspicion.

Fattening Animals Judici0usly

1t has been demonstrated time
and time again that animals NAV
be !atteued for market at this
season OF tho year on good grains,
ana the cost OF the grain bo easily
made good by the manure, or in
the increased weight Of the ami
NAL. leaving the manure as net
profit. In order to do this the
stock to be fattened must be
wei! selected and judiciously fed.
Dung animals fatten more
chcaplv than older ones, and the
square "blocky" animal takes on
nesh moro rapidly aud loss OK
pensIvely than the long lsnky
one. Foods used for fattening
should be well-bslanced that is,
contain proper proportion of
nitrogeneousand .nitregenous
foods, and the feeding should be
done carefully.
If bran and corn is used, feed
the bran freely at frat and less
Of corn. As the feeding proceeds,
!ncresse tho quantity of corn and
docroase tho bran. Coarse fod-
der given should be of the best.
Do not force the fattening process
too fast, for an animal is able to
consume only q certain amount
of grain and ss.imilate it proper
~. Any addition to this amount
ls pure waste, for medium
weight COW or steer, for example,
Will make as much gain on sn
average Of ten pounds Of meal
par day as on fiftsen. Get the
animal fsttened jnst right and
then market it. If kept beyond
the period when experience tells
you 1t is in proper condition for
tho market, tho additional fesd
gwen will come from tho pl ofits,
as It frequently doe. when an
attempt Ia made to add \ few
pounds weight 70 a hog already
tipping the scales q. six hundred
pounds.
