Committee of Appropriations

The housewives of the country
are the ''comittee Of appropriations
in every family, and like most such
comittees, they are predisposed to
economy. Most women know how
to save money better than men. In
some families it is the other way
around, but as very general rule
the women are the savers.
We suggest that nine times cut of
ten the safest way to do is to turn
the weekly or monthly income over
to the women Of the family and let
her work out a satisfactory method
of spending and saving. Take her
the committee of appropriations
with full power to act.
This bank pays special attention
to the comfort and convenience oi
It's women customers. We treat
the smallest savings depos,tors with
the same courtesy and consideration
that we give to our largest com
mercia, d.Iositor.

COMMISSIONERS HAVE
BEEN BUSY FELLOWS.
Held Two Sessions This Week. Monday
and thursday.

Believe us, those Election Commis-
sioners have had no cinch, and the
Three per that they will draw when the
Board of Supervisors hands them out
their warrant has been more than earn
ed. And it was business-like the way
they went about it, giving fair, court
eous hearing to every man who repre-
resented his claim for reinstatement.
And the candidates have busted them
selves somewhatly too, chasing around
for their friends who were knocked on,
and have worked the mail service and
the sheriffs with requests for duplicate
tax receipts or certificates necessary to
have their prospects put in good stand
ing.
Monday was the day set aside by the
Election Commissioners for the hearing
to be given TO those knocked OF Of the
poll hooks in the Greenwood precinct,
and they trotted in up at the Court
House pretty lively all through the day.
Duplicate tax receipts, certificates, affi-
davits, ct cetera fell all over themsel-
yes, and the Commissioners gave each
one full and fair hearing, and il the
facts substantiated, they were reinstat-
ed, and will be allowed to use the X ON
election days.
Thursday many "come back" from the
precincts over the county, coming In on
the branch trains, sending necessary
dope via mail, and hearings were given.
In every instance the Commissioners
a ihered to the ruling OF the District
Attorney, and regardless of what direc-
tion the clip fell, they decided in ac-
cordance Herewith.
| In toto, there were about 200 reinstat-
ed, which means that the vote at the
election Tuesday will aggregate In
numbers approximately 1900. OF course
many will be prevented from coming to
the polls on account Of being away on
vacations, sickness, out of town, but as
rule the poll should be heavy one,
and there will be very little complaint
that "a lot of them didn't VOTE"
| The tickets have been printed, and
everything will be in perfect readiness
for the election, and every voter should
see to it that he does his part to make
it the most pleasant election ever held
in Leflore County.

iinL HAVE A
''SANt ELECTION"
Candidates all Agree to Conduct Tho
Election Day Properly.

Chief r. L. Miller and several OF the
candidates the first Of the week started
a petition asking the local clubs to
agree to close their doors during cleo
tion day, and was generally signed by
all the candidates that they would not
have that day any refreshments" to
quench their thirst after they had in
dustriously labored over Ming down the
long ticket that will be put to them
Tuesday next.
There are some that are always dis
posed to take election days as a day of
joy, some elated over their anticipation
of results, few ready to make a day of
it any day, and various and various and
sundry others who do not obj, ct to
.whoopering-er-up" just once at least
for their favorites. But there is SO
much Importance to the pending cleo
tion, in the selection of the person to
don the senatorial toga, the state and
county officers, that it is wise decis-
ion to ride to and fro from the polls on
| the cushion of the much-talked Of wat
er wagon, from which you can always
alight in splendid trim.
Everyone should go to the polls and
vote their vote, and cooperate with the
officials and candidates in their desire
to make it day of peace an order, 30
that when man walks into the booth
to exercise his franchise he can reason
over the names entered and select the
best man, and after he vacates it can
talk to his friends If he SO Graves and

COME AGAIN, IOWA.

Iowa editors, who have been busy
ing themselves during the past two
months, by exploiting the drouth and
crop failurers in South Dakota. should
study for enlightenment the report
recently issued by the department of
the United States Weather Bureau at
Washington which hardly agrees
with the inference of the Iowa press
that the unfavorable weather condi-
tions of the past two months are pecu-
liar to South Dakota. The report
states the successive hot waves,
which were noticeable here during the
month of June and early in July,
were prevalent from the Rocky noun
tains to the Atlantic coast, covering
nearly the entire area of the United
States The report fnther shows that
between the dates June % to July
10, inclusive, the temperature in the
entire state of South Dakota, east of
Missouri, was four degrees above the
normal, while in the western half of
Iowa the temperature for same period
was eight degrees above the normal.
As to maximum temperature, the
highest mark recorded for South Oak
ota was 100 degrees while over half
of the state of Iowa is included in an
aera where the temperature reached
maximum of 105 degrees.

CAN SHERMAN WIN IN 1912?

When Cleveland was nominated in
1898, the Hill or machine Democrats
rushed the Convention into naming
Stevenson as his running mate, for
40 other purpose than to irritate the
candidate for president. The Conkling
machine did the same thing in 1880
by naming Arthur, after Garfield
had been nominated by the Blaine
men in the convention.
10 1908 something of the kind hap
pened when Sherman was named as
the running mate for Taft. The can
didate for President had made his
campaign on the tariff issue. He
was clear on the subject of tariff revi,
sison. The Cannonities thereupon
turned in and named Sherman for
Vice President. Sherman was an
ultra protectionist. He had never
uttered word indicative of desire
to see a single schedule modified un
less to increase it. AS presiding Off
Ger of the Senate he has voted,
whenever he had a vote, with the Old
Gaurd. Now he has written a letter
in which he complains of the trend
away from protection and predicts
that peroid of depression will bring
the people back to..their old moorings
with wonderful unanimity, with
great force and with all the haste pos
sible under our constitutional meth
ods."
The letter may be interpreted as an
attack on Canadian reciprocity, on the
efforts of the Democrats to reduce the
tariff on wool, cotton and other goods
or both 1t is imported as showing
that Sherman is still with the Stand
patters on every question. 1t brings
up the other question whether the
President can afford to go into an
other campaign handicapped with
Sherman. What could the present
Vice President say on the slump
favorable to Canadian reciprocity
What could he urge in favor of revis-
ing the tariff on the basis of a com.
mission report7 Simply nothing. His
whole record is inconsistent with
such doings. His whole sympathies
are the other way. If the Republicans
are to retain Taft at the head of their
ticket, they must look out for some
modern Republican to run with him.
