An admiring farmer brought
the Arcadia Argus a cabbage
which weighed IA pounds and IN
an unguarded moment the Argus
advertised the fact. The next
night some thief entered the
sanctum and stole the cabbage
and now the Argus is offering a
years subscription for the arrest
and conviction of the thief.

this is hardly probable. Bryan

Judge Watkins Candidacy.

Democratic candidate for congress
will be held July 18th. Webster
parish has a candidate for this
important position in the person
of j. I. Watkins. SO far his
candidacyshas met with all the
encouragement that his most
sanguine well wlshers could desire
and his chances of success at this
time are very fattering indeed.
However, the Judges time for
several weeks will be taken up
with his official duties as district
judge and, as the primary is only
a few weeks off, he will not have
time to make a thorough canvass
of the district. Hence, in view
of this fact, the Signal would like
to suggest to the Judges friends
in this, as we'll rs in the other
parishes of the district, that they
can be of great help to him just
at this time by taking an active
interest in his candidacy and en-
deavoring to enlist the services of
their friends and. neighbors.
Judge Watkins is a man who
has always been in close touch
with the people and beng of the
people can sympathize with them
and has iulf appreciation of
their needs. He is honest, clean
and has the best interest of the
people at heart. He is fully COM
petent to creditably fill the office,
and it should be pleasure as well
as a duty of his friends to cham
pion the cause of such a man.
As judicial officer he has made
an excellent record. He has al
ways discharged the duties of his
Office promptly and with an eye
single to the best interests of the
people.
If Judge Watkins is elected to
congress the people of the Fourth
district can rest assured that they
will have in the legislative halls
at Washington a representative
who is not only well equipped to
ably represent their interests, but
one who can always be found at
his post of duty and who will be
ready and willing at all times to
serve his constituents Webster
Signal.
Judge Watkins of Webster
parish, La, has more than a local
reputation having occupied the
bench of the Second judicial
District of the State for nearly
two decades, serving with marked
ability and integrity of decision.
The Judge sprung from a race
of statesmen. has always been
loyal and patriotic. In recent
state campaigns he stood for pri-
mary in district and parochial
elections but maintained the adj
Visibility of the convention
method of nomination in state
and general elections. After his
withdrawal from the gubernatori-
al race, aud the nomination of
Governor Blanchard he fell into
line like good Democrat and
supported the nominee of the
primaries with heart and soul.
Judge. Watkins is known all
over this congressional district as
an upright and able citizen and
numbering his associates the best
and worthlest residents of North
Louisiana. His ability and his
social and political status is un-
questioned and he stands before
the people as candidate for con-
gresham from the Fourth Con-
gressional District as a man, a
Ijurist and Democrat and without
flaw in his record as either one.-
