MONROE SAYS
FERTILE CITY,

Monroe, La, Dec. 19.-About
month ago two well-dresseed men ap-
peared here and began an active ad-
vertising campaign booming Fertile
City, Tex, They advertised that for
ty lots had been allotted" to Monroe.
They told such wonderful story
that on the day of the allotment there
was a big rush of Monroe people to get
one of the lots. Instead Of selling
forty lots, the men sold over hun
dred, collecting from SO to 1915 on
each. The deeds to the property
were to be forwarded later Some of
the purchasers grew suspicious after
the excitement died down and the spell
was off and began an investigation
into the affair, with the result that
they found they had been duped. The
men gave their names as Charles
Clyde and DR.. Franks. 1t is estimated
that they made over $500 for their two
days work here.

Rheumatic

my mother is great suf-

Miles Anti-Pain Pills is the only
remedy that relieves her."
MRS. G. DAVENPORT,
Roycefeld, N. ].
The pains of rheumatism are
almost invariably relieved with
DR.. Miles Anti-Pain Pills. They
also overcome that nervous irri-
tation which prevents sleep be-
cause they soothe the nerves. To
chronic suffers they are invalu-
able. When taken as directed,
they relieve the distress and
save the weakening influence OF
pain, which so frequently pros
trates. Many sufferers use them
whenever occasion requires with
the greatest satisfaction, why
not you? They do not derange
the stomach nor create habit.
Why not try them? Get a pack
age from your druggist. Take it
according to directions, and if
it does not benefit he will return
your money.

DEMOCRATS In HARMONY
Burns Concludes Territorial
Trip in Behalf of Better
Organization

Hon. M. G.. Burns, member of
the committee of three appointed
by mass meeting of Democrats in
Phoenix, held during the Territorial
Fair, for the purpose of the organi-
zation of the party from one end of
the Territory to the other, has re-
turned to his home in Yavapai
County, after spending several days
in Cochise County, says the Bisbee
Review,
While here MIR. Burns visited
Bisbee and Douglas and was in con-
sultation with leading democrats at
both places. When the councilman
from Yavapai departed last evening
he was wearing satisfied smile and
expressed himself elated with the
conditions which he found in Cochise
from a political standpoint.
The committee of which Mr..
Burns is member, is composed of
Hon. John r. Hampton, of Clifton,
Carl Hayden, of Phoenix, and Mr..
Burns, of Yavapai. This committee
has visited all sections of the Terri
tory on the mission to which it was
appointed and will shortly make a
report to Chairman Dillon, of the
Territorial committee.
What are the democrats talking
about over the Territory" Mr..
Burns was asked just before his de-
parture.
''The principal topic of conversa-
tian among democrats everywhere |
have been is statehood, and in the
event of statehood the new consti-
tuition" replied the committeeman.
And at the same time the boys are
having a great deal of fun over the
letters Delegate Cameron is writing
over the Territory telling how he
saved the educational qualification
in the statehood BILL"
Continuing, Mr.. Burns said
Almost in every county have
visited | have found a strong senti-
ment among democrats in favor of
an initiative and referendum and
bank guaranty provisions in the con-
stitution. | find this sentiment
especially strong in the democratic
counties of Gila, Graham and Yava-
pal, and | believe there is strong
sentiment in favor of these provis-
ions in Cochise.
Mr.. Burns said that from one end
of the Territory to the other, the
democrats were in harmony and that
he failed to find a single note of
discord or factional fight in a single
county.
The work of the committee, which
was to propose plans for the thor
ough organization of the party, in
readiness for the first statehood
campaign, is about completed. The
appointment off the committee was
the result of the belief among DEM
ocrats that the election of the re-
publican delegate in 1908 was due
to the lack of systematic and thor1
ough organization. ,ad syBb
