What are eyebrows for?

Why does a stick float?
Where do thoughts come from?

How do flies walk on the ceiling2
Why does hair turn gray?

H. H. Seldomridse For, Con-
sressman, 2nd District.

eressman. End District.
It is with pleasure that The
Democrat herewith announces
the candidacy of Hon. II. H. Sell
domridge of Colorado Springs, a
well known business man, and
one of the prominent democrats
of the state, for the distinguished
position Of member Of congress
from this Congressional District,
subject only to the expressed will
of the democracy in their assem-
bly, and at their primaries.
Briefly speaking from biographi-
cal standpoint, Mr.. Seldomridge has
lived in this community since 1873,
having spent in our midst all the per-
iod of his manhood. He graduated
from Colorado College in 1885. He
was City Editor of the Colorado
Springs Gazette in 1887 and 1883, at
the close of which period he became
associated with his father In the grain
business, in which business he has
been continuously engaged, after his
fathers death in 1896, continuing the
business until the present time with
his brother, and which business has
been enlarged until it has assumed ex-
tensive proportions, their business not
only covering local territory, but ex-
tending over the southern part of Col
orado and portions of New Mexico.
Politically he has taken an active
interest in local, state and national
affairs ever since arriving at his ma
jority, and at all times has been an
adherent of the democratic party and
a staunch supporter of the democratic
principles in all political struggles.
In 1896 he was delegate to the Chi
cago convention aud supported Will
liam J. Bryan, of whom he has been a
personal friend and supporter ever
since. In the same year he was elect
ed to the state senate from Ell Paso,
Teller and Douglas counties by 1l,O0O
majority, and succeeded himself in
1900. He was also member of the
Charter Convention which framed the
present charter of the City of Colorado
Springs and was made president of
that body. We are not aware that he
has ever had any other political rec
ognition, in the matter of position.
His candidacy is meeting with hear
tyapproval and his support by the
of this county is we'll nigh
universal. His candidacy will be
forciDly presented by his friends, and
this together with his we'll known ag-
gressiveness and what is termed today
''progressiveneA" makes his candi-
dacy formidable. Once that he Is
his election is practically
assured, as he is certain to have q
definite strength over and above the
normal democratic vote, and such
spells absolute success this
year.-El Paso County Democrat.

To the Tax-payers Of Cheyenne
County.
As am a candidate for renoni-
ination for the Office of Treasurer
of Cheyenne county, / think it.
just to myself and to the tax
payers that / should state my
position-or rather state what /
have done and what ! expect to
do if lam reelected. For twenty
years the county money has never
drawn one cent Of interest, and
all warrants, both county and
school were discounted two per
cent and in some instances more
when they were registered. For
the past four years all county
ordinary warrants, and at least
one half of all school district war
rants have been registered. To
get a warrant cashed that was
registered, you had to submit to
a discount of two per cent, and
in some instances, more.
The amount of warrants regis
tered from September /, 1911
to June l, 1912 (nine months)
amounted to more than thirty
thousands dollars. The two per
cent discount on these amounted
to over six hundred dollars. By
dividing the county money
between the different banks in
the county, l am now getting all
registered warrants cashed at
face or full value. and am getting
two and one-half per cent interest
on the average daily balance,
payable monthly. At the present
time the county money is bring
ing in over one thousand dollars
a year to the taxpayers o f
Cheyenne county. This includes
the discount that was charged ON
registered warrants and the in
terest received on the county
money at the present time.
So-far as l am able to ascer-
tain, l am opposed for the NOM
ination for the Office of County
Treasurer by certain parties in
Cheyenne Wells, who evidently
feel sore at me for the way /
have handled the county money.
The voters OF Cheyenne county.
who are the resident taxpayers
are the ones that elected me to
this Office, and as long as ! am
treasurer. l expect to
handle the county money to the
best interests of the tax payers.
If there he those who see fit to
oppose me from any other reason
than those stated above, l grant
them the privilege and shall
abide by the will of the demo- /.
cratic primary on September
10th.
Democrats of Cheyenne county
if you feel that l have done my
duty and conducted the Office of
treasurer to the best
interests of all concerned, |
would like your support.

You say l am not treating you
fairlytby not saying whether the
Kiowa county printing contract
for $500 includes the printing of
the primary election notices. !
do not know, but for the sake of
argument we will say it doesn't
You surely don't want the people
to believe that it will cost Kiowa
county 81, 400 for the printing of
the primary election notices. You
would have the people believe
that the printing of the primary
election notices was a big job
and that the extra $500 that you
so generously gave to the two
newspapers was very cheap for
the work that would have to be
done. It is now less than one
month until the primaries are
held and there has not been a
word in the papers about the
primaries. These can't possibly
be published over three times
now before the primaries. Divide
the $500 between the two papers
will give $3.50 each for doing at
the outside. three weeks work,
as against $500 for county print
ing for the year. How, Mr.. Com
missioners, there is no use in you
trying to defend such rotten
deal as that. Practically every
body has their mind made up as
to why you were so liberal with
the county money. At the time
you let the contract. there were
but the two papers in the county
and you wanted the support of
both papers. You did not know
at that time that the Eastern
Colorado Times was going to
come to the rescue of the tax
payers of the county and tell the
people of a few things that was
being done.
see you have not answered
my inquiry about whether you
ever allow any bill for railroad
fare that the travelling had been
done on free transportation fur
nished by the railroad company.
Now you surely know whether
you have or not and could have
answered that question in an in
slant. understand that it is
the practice Of yourselves and
other county officers to charge up
railroad fare that has been done
on free passes furnished by the
railroad company. Now, Mr..
Commissioners. you know wheth-
er this is the practice or not. and
you owe it to the tax payers to
tell them whether it is so or not.
BY not answering this, we will
consider that it is the practice.
You should answer this before
the primaries are held.
A county officer that uses a
free pass on the railroad and then
swears to his accounts that ne
was out that much money for
railroad fare, surely perjures
himself, and in a way is accept
ing bribe from the railroad
company.
l don't believe that any officer
elected or appointed to Office
should be allowed to accept a
pass from a railroad company.

Union has passed laws prohibit

Hon. T. ]. O'Donnell For U.
S. Senator. lons Term.)
Denver, August IA, 1912.
H. Y. Tarwater
Cheyenne Wells. Colo.
Dear Sir:
Representing the committee
formed in the State of Colorado
to advance the candidacy of
Thomas ]. O'Donnell for United
States Senator at the primary
election to be held September 10,
l am writing all the democratic
committeeman and women of the
state to present his claims in
seeking your votes and the votes
of the people at such primary
election.
Mr.. O'Donnell has been a resident
of the State of Colorado since 1879; is
conceded by everyone to be one of the
ablest lawyers in this State; and for
thirty years has given his services
freely and willingly in behalf OF the
party and it's candidates.
During all those years he has never
received q dollar for his political
services, nor held a single Office of
profit in the state.
His opponents are Governor Shat
roth and Ex-Governor Adams, able
men, either one of the three being we'll
fitted to represent Colorado in the
United States senate. Gov. Shafroth
and Gov. Adams have ofttimes been
honored by the party in this state and
we feel that at this time it will work
for u more harmonious democracy in
the future If these more important Of
fetal positions are divided up and not
held all the time by few. We do not
mean any disparagement of the other
in referring to this matter,
yet If Mr.. O'Donnell is as we'll fitted
for the position as the other gentlemen
are, then by his long service for the
party he is more entitled
than any one else to receive the NOM
ination.
He has always been a progressive
democrat Tom O'Donnell has always
dared to speak for his party even
when it would have been an advantage
to him personally to remain silent.
He refused to allow his name to be
to the Pueblo assembly, de-
claring that the people wanted direct
primary law without convention or as
sembly features, and his name was
placed upon the democratic ballot by
petition signed by 1000 democratic
voters.
That lie was right in the stand he
took as to the assembly feature of the
direct primary law is evidenced by
The vote given in support of the reso-
luton offered by him to abolish such
assembly feature. The good men and
of the assembly, after seeing
the dealing, trading and log-rolling,
became disguised with such provis-
ion of the primary law, and when Tom
dared to offer resolution
1t, q roar of approval from
the delegates proved that the position
taken by him was right.
Yours sincerely

GOOD FOOD FOR POULTRY
There Should be Variety and While
Some Grains Are Favored Others
Are Not-Grit Needed.

Poultry food should be palatable.
Some grains are the favorite food OF
chickens, while others are not. Rye
may be fed, but it is not generally
liked by poultry, and should never be
made the principal feed. 1t may be
used in mixture with other grains,
and will be eaten by the flock. Rel
ish is one of the factors of proper
feeding.
Food should be varied. The best
commercial poultry-foods on the mar
ket are combinations Of the common
farm grains. There are varying
amounts of each, according to nutri-
tive value and cheapness-wheat,
oats, corn, barley, rye, millet-seed,
caneseed, field peas, buckwheat, sun
fowerseeds, and grass-seeds. With
these are combined grit, shells and
charcoal. These foods produce good
results, mainly because Of the variety.
With a little instruction, one could
make such combination, for the
flock, of grains on the farm.

Pennsylvania Man Invents Apparatus
for Revolving Blades Against Wall

Heretofore the customary way to
sharpen a lawn mower was to take a
milestone and rub it back and forth
along the blades. A Pennsylvania man
has invented an apparatus for sharp
ening mowers which should prove
less troublesome and quite as efrec-

ceive the shaft of the rotary blade of
a lawn mower and cogged wheel,
with a handle, to engage the wheel
on the shaft and turn the latter. An

arranged so that 1t can be fixed to
