March 1st a new form Of tele-
graph service called the Day

Immediately commend itself to
you as affording decided ad-
vantages in telegraphic cores
Ipondence. The Day Letter is
designed as the Day Compan-
ion to the Night Letter, which
doubtless you have already
used on many occasions.
The rate charged for a Day
Letter of fifty words or less is
one and one-half times the
Night Letter rate, and for each
additional ten words or less
one-fifth the initial charge.
For example. the Chicago New
York Night Letter rate is So
cents; the Day Letter rate is
one and one. half times that or
Is cents; with Is cents for each
additional ten words. The
Chicago-Des Moines Night rate
is 40 cents; the Day Letter rate
60 cents with 12c for each ad-
ditional ten words.
Day Letters are to be written
in plain English, thus avoiding
the delays and complications Of
the code words and code lang
uage; code language and code
words not accepted. The,
may be filed at any time and
are to be transmitted as the
facilities of the company may
permit during business hours,
full rate kilograms having
priority of transmission.
As the wires of the company
are in much demand during the
midday hours, it is advisable
that Day Letters be filed as
early in the day as possible.

The hardtimes masquerade
party, given at the pleasant
home Of Mr.. and Mrs. Joe
Evans by their son Fred, Sat-
urday evening, March 1S, to
about 25 of his young friends,
will be long remembered by all
who were there. The first part
of the evening was spent by
the young people displaying
their hardtimes costumes, and
finding out who each other
were, which ended in a hard
times march before the judges,
who decided Mr.. and Mrs. Har-
din deserved the prize. They
then led the march, furnishing

had received. TIE couples

boys, Roy Glover succeeding in
capturing the prize as the neat
est and best sewer. The rest

Fire

The fire department was
called to the Ben Purcell prop
erty in Willow Park this after
noon on account of a fire in
the barn. The barn was al
most totally destroyed but all
live stock was saved. 1t is
thought boys playing in the
barn was the cause of the fire.
Some time was lost on ac-
count of a slip in the alarm
system. The first alarm regis
tered 80 which is the store
house and it required the Sec
ond before the fire was located.

History Repeating Itself.

History Repeating Itself.
Just at this time we again
hear the old story of war with
Mexico. Away back in 1914,
we remember that the slogan
was Annexation of Texas"
Ia the division of parties at
that time we had Democrats
and Wings. The Democrats, as
q general thing, favored annex
alton, while the Wings were
la~gly opposed toit, and in the
National Conventions of 1874,
the Wings nominated for Pres
ident, Henry Clay, and for Vice
President, Frelinghyson; and
the Democrats nominated JAM
es K Polk, and George M. Dali
as. Henry Clay took the posi-
tion that annexation of Texas
would bring on a war with the
Mexican nation, but like fruit,
if let alone until ripe, it would
drop into the basket Union),
without war. The people were
in favor Of annexation and tri-
umphantly elected Polk-Texas
was annexed, war followed, and
the result is history.
A good illustration of public
feeling on the political contest
of 1874, is shown in the follow
ing incident: A man from a
rack county in Tennessee, COM
ing to town, was asked as to
how the election was going in
his section, replied: "Clay will
gee a few votes, but a large ma
jority are for Polk, Dallas, and
Texas" The people were for
annexation war or no war, and
as predicted by Henry Clay,
and during 1856 the country
was one general military field,
and deverybody seemed anxious
J, u 60 to Mexico under the old
American flag, to insure annex
alton. In that war we lost our
youngest brother, who fell on
battle field Of Buna Vista, where
Gen. Taylor, Rough and Ready
defeated Gen. Santa Anna, the
Mexican commander. The war
closed in our favor-Texas be-
came a part Of the U. s., and
with it came other territory Of
vast wealth and Importance to
our nation, making the United
States the richest and grandest
nation on the earth.
With the annexation of Tex
as came responsibilities, some
If which may account for the
present movement of troops to
the border line between Mexico
and the United States.
In the war Of 1856, the on
" question was who will get to
go, as there were 10 volunteers
where only one could be accep-
ted, and therefore, many who
wished to go were disappointed,
and many who went never re-
turned, some falling in battle,
other died by disease, incident
to camp life. We were at that
time q citizen of Tennessee and
we'll remember the excitement
of the hour; the rattle of the
drums, and shrill sound of the
fife, and the waving of flags,
as the boys stepped along proud
to march under the flag of Un.
Gle Sam.
History may repeat ITSELF"
but we hope not, but if war
must come, and we in the right
may it continue until our star

when thirty neighbors gather
ed at the C. S. Bond home, the
lights were out and all had re-
tired for the night. All of a
sudden they heard someone
| yell "let us in" one of the house
hold asked "it is not morning
so soon is it,"
They were somewhat sur
prised when they went to the
door and found the neighbors
had come to spend the evening
Of course they told them they
would get revenge in the near
feature, so no telling who will
be the next victim. MORAL
Don't go to bed at six o'clock
and when you do, be sure
you leave your watch log out

music, games and general visit
ing. The time passed altogeth-
er too quickly, as at a very late
hour a bounteous repast was
served by the ladies of the jolly
crowd.
