Not a Loal Fight

This is not local fight and we should rise superior to local differ ences. We should not look upon the stars darkly, but set our gaze on the rising sun in Alabama.
 Tt may be said of him that he has never said silly thing or done fool ish thing. He has never paid that att tention to the Canadian maid that caused any to doubt his honorable in- tention He never advocated the initia- tive and referendum until his people longed for theN recall. He can out harmonize Harmon. He measures up to Solomon's standard of greatness when he said a man who can control his tongue is greater than he who con ouers d city. It will not be necessary to put him on cold storage after his nomination. The only attack ever made against him by an Alabamian left him stronger than before. Here in Alabama we have heard of a man kicked out of the House into the Senate. History may go still further in the case of Underwood.
 But we hear that we can't elect a president from the southern states. We have heard this cry for 45 years. It is still an infant industry. We should send our delegation to the national l convention. saving here is a democrat | in whom there is no guile, one who | stands for the eternal principles Of liberty advocated by Jefferson and l Jackson

Simple Cure For Poison Oak"
Liquid compound mostly of oil of winter
green found to give relief.

Residents of Hood River and the
surrounding country who contract that
obnoxious disease known as "Posion
Oak" need not have quite so much fear
of it's consequences as heretofore.
1t has been found that a simple
wash, made mostly Of the oil of winter
green. combined with other healing in
gradients, will almost instantly give
relief.
The burning, itching sensation is
quieted at once and if the remedy is
applied in time it stops the breaking
out of the watery pustules. 1t also
stops the spread of the eruption.

might do well to remember this Oil OF

PLEASING PROGRAM AT
MAY FETE PARTY

The May Fete basket party given by
the members of the st. Marks guild
and their friends at the Heilbronner
hall last Thursday night was one of
the most pleasant social events Of the
year. The large ball room was beauti-
full with its many artistically decorated
baskets. The flower baket received
the largest number of votes as being
the most handsome of the number
The program, which greatly appreci-
ated by those present, was as follows: :
Piano solo. Mrs. Cop Henrichs; vocal
solo, Mrs. Jayne: piano solo, Duane
SOmerville: scene from the Merchant
of Venice, Misses Geek and Robbins /;
duet, Mrs. Schneider and Mrs. Jayne (;
vocal solo, Miss Hill, of Portland and
the "Sunfower Chorus" T." in which the
young men Of the city gave great
amusement to the audience by repre-
senting sunflowers. Especially good
were the numbers Of Mrs. Jayne and
Mrs. Schmeltzer and Misses Zeek and
Robbins. The audience was very much
disappointed when Arthur Clarke, who
is well known for his histrionic abili-
ties, was unable to appear because OF
the fact that he was busiIy engaged in
the orchestra, which rendered some ex-
cellent selections during the evening.
The orchestra, which is composed OF
the following members, Miss Blagden,
Fred Vogel, f. A. Kincaid, Jno. Zolls,
Roys Cornell and Arthur Clarke, fur
nished the music for the occasion graf
is. Although they had practiced to-
gether but a few times their music
Thursday night was of an exceedingly
high type.

Pioneer Woman of AT Visits Here.

Four generations are now represent
ed at the home of DR.. c. H. Jenkins: :
Mrs. Caroline Hamilton of Corvallis; ;
her daughter, Mrs. Geo II. Riddell, of
Long Beach, Calf, her grand-daugh-
ter, Mrs. jenkins; and the great
grand children, children of DR.. and
Mrs. Jenkins. Mrs. Hamilton and Mrs.
Riddell arrived for their visit to the
Jenkins home Saturday. Mrs. Hamil-
ton was one of the pioneers of 1847 and
Mrs. Rddell was born during the trip
across the plains by ox-wagon. Her
husband, the Hon. Jos. Hamilton, at
one time a member Of the Oregon
Legislature, chose homestead in the
Valley, near Corva5llis.
During the gold rush of '49 he was
lured to California.
= Mrs. Hamilton tells some interesting
stories of the days when he was absent
and when the frontier home was
guarded by her and her cousin, Miss
Mirandy Kendall. She received one of
her greatest frights, she states, one
day when a band of Indians took pos
session of their woodshed and used
their grindstone, a novelty the red men
found useful, for sharpening their
tomahawks. The Indians had been
attacking the whites and Miss Kendell,
in order to prevent their weapons from
becoming more effective, heated a
kettle of water, which, slipping on
them while they were giving all Of
their attention to their work, she
daringly threw on the warrior grinding
his weapon. Maddened by the pain,
the Indian hurled at the fleeing girl his
tomahawk, which barely missing her
stuck with tremendous force the door
facing just as she was entering the
building.
Despite her 81 years of age Mrs.
Hamilton is very active and enjoys
good health.

JUDGE CRAIG ANNOUNCES

Judge A. J. Craig announces in today's paper as a candidate for reelection to a second term as county and probate judge. The affairs of the county have been ad- ministered in a most satisfactory and economical manner during Judge Craig's term in office. He has put the county depository law into effect, by which the various county funds are now drawing interest. He has kept both the state and county convicts on the public roads, thus doing some good work at very small cost to the peo- pie. Judge Craig has tried to eliminate politics from the office, and his friends claim that he has been successful, both in that and in making the county a fair and important judge.

HOW JIMMY DOES II
Reformed Newspaper Man Now Delights in Helping the
 Widows and Orphans

The Walnut Ridge Times credits H, H. Judkins, of its town, with having recently closed the largest insurance deal in North Arkansas, MT. Judkins having written a policy for $20.000. That is pretty good, but our own Jimmy McGill of Batesville has that beaten to a frazzle. Everybody knows that Jimmy is a hustler-he is always busy but along last summer when business was dull, Jimmy pulled on his working clothes one morning, rolled up his sleeves, spat on his hands, hit the path of duty with a firm tread, and in less than four days he wrote $49,000 worth of insurance and paid a death claim on one his policy holders for $5,000. The $49,000 insurance written was in four policys, one for $25,000, two for $10,000 each, one for $3,000 and one for $1, ,000. And what's better, MT. McGilPS policies were written in a home company, the Mississippi Valley Life, of Little Rock, and the pre- miums paid by the parties insur- ed was not sent out of the state, as was that written by MT. Judkins.
 If Mir. Judkins can beat this, we'll tell Jimmy about it some time. Jimmy used to work in a newspaper office-thats how he acquired the habit of being a hustler-but as a newspaper man, he couldn't do much towards help ing the widows and orphans, so he shook the case and took up insur- ance. And believe us Jim does love to hand out checks to the widows and orphans.
