Much Artificial Indigo Used.

Artificial indigo, manufactured in Germany, has ruined the indigo indus try of India. In recent times S25,000. 900 worth of indigo was exported ev- cry year from India and the surround ing islands and countries. But by 1903 the German export of artificial indigo had risen to $6,250.0O0, and the Ger man product is now imported into In- dia. Consumers of indigo, who were continually in trouble over the vari- able purity and quantity of the prod uct from the indigo plant, find the arti- ficial product pure and cheaper than the natural. The artificial production of indigo was accomplished only after B years of experimenting and after more than s4.000,00 had been spent. The process depends upon a peculiar action of mercury called catalysis. Mercury's peculiar power in these ex- periments was discovered by mer~ chance-some mercury happened to find it's way into an experimental flask as the result of broken thermometer. This little accident made commercial indigo a reality and reversed the eco homie relations of states.

JOHN ". HOLT
 TO THE VOTERS

To the Voters of Faulkner ounty:
 Brothers and Friends;-I appeal to you for your support for county judge in the Democratic primary, to be held l. on January 4, 1910. I have two op- lponents-Judge James A. Lea, who is asking for a third term, contrary to the teachings of the grand old Demo- cratic party. He has already held of flee in this county 12 years when his Ipresent term as county judge is out, and has drawn more money from the county than any man ever has or ever will as an office-holder. Now, gentle men, are we going to keep one man Tn office always? You might in the fu- ture want to run for some county of flee yourself, but with this continual tion in office you would not have any chance whatever Judge Lea asks for reelection on the ground that he has some unfinished business. To this l would say he has yet a year of his second term to complete this business, and if he has made a good officer, what has he done more than his duty?
 Mr. McHenry, my other opponent, withdrew from the race and stayed out two or three days and great many folks think he came back at the suggestion of Lees friends. He, too, has had some of Faulkner county's pie and drew a salary of two dollars day for two years as road commission CT until the levying court abolished the office of road commissioner. A vote for McHenry will only help Lea and not McHenry.
 As to myself, most of the people of Faulkner county know me, and what ever you may hear of political rings, want to say none of them are behind me, and if am elected judge l will be judge and not some other man. promise, if elected, to try in an honest way to make good county judge for the whole people and not few special pets or friends. 1 am not a chronic office-seeker and never have asked for county office before, and l promise if I am your choice that at the end of my service 1 will retire with great gratitude to you for your honest sup port.
 Yours fraternally and to win,
 JOHN w. HOLT,
 Candidate for County Judge.

While the members of certain football team were journeyng to ful- fill an engagement, the sorry pair of horses attached to the conveyance which they had hired came in for a good deal of adverse criticism.
 'I say, driver" at length remarked the captain of the team, you've got a whip-just touch 'em up bit. At this rate we shall never reach our destination.
 The driver explained that he had never had occasion to drive that par ticular pair of horses before.
 As you remark" he added, I've got a whip, but don't like to take the risk O using it!"
