WHAT RECORDS SHOW.

Now let us take the records at the out in this absurd statement of his. MT. Hale has been in the sheriff's of flee almost one year. If the gambling here is worth $50,000.00 a year, as he states in his circular, he should by this time have turned into the county treasury more than $40,00000 from the gambling interests alone.
 Let us see just what he has done. 1 have had County Clerk Mooney give me statement of fines turned in by Sheriff Hale up, to this date The Clerks record shows that S3,705.00 has been turned in, and $1,57S.00 Of this amount was fines assessed in the circuit court for which he can take no credit, the indictments having been found by the grand jury. This leaves to his credit s2.12700 that he has col lected from the gamblers himself in almost one year, yet he asserts that the interest is worth $50,000.00 and that I should have collected that amount from yearly.
 Why did he make this statement when he knew it was false. He did it to deceive the people and it places him in the light of having made the statement to further his political ends. If he does as well in the next two months as he did in the past ten months he will at the end of his first years term have turned into the treasury $2,50000 Tn other words, he will have turned in SAT, 50000 less than he would have you believe I should have turned in.
 Again, he tells you that the court house would not hold the witnesses that would swear they paid me for the privilege of gambling, yet the grand jury has been composed of men identified with the reform movement here, and he himself has been mem- Der of it. and yet, strange to say, they and he have failed to perform their duty by not bringing indictments against me and placing me in the pen itentiary. Do you know why it was not done? I will tell you--Decause no such witnesses could be found and no such evils ever existed The state ment was made by him as lie, know ingly, for political purposes.
 PIECE OF ADNiCE.
 When man moves into your com munity and begins to tell you of his honesty and asserts how dishonest the people were where he came from, if you have no lock and key, go and get one and lock your smoke house door, If you 6o not such man will steal your bacon. When a man comes among you seeking office and tells you that Garland county has not had an honest officer in forty years except Himself, as Hale has done. you can well afford to vote against him with the full assurance that you are voting against a dishonest man When a man buys your goods or the products of your labor and sells them and puts the proceeds into his own pocket. as Hale has done, and then tells you that he will give you twenty and fifty cents on the dollar for what he owes you. that man is not honest and can not be trusted in office. When a man tells you that the gamblers came to
 his face and openly offered him $50,- Q00.00 q year for the gambling privi- lege In Hot Springs and he failed to
 arrest the man who attempted to hribe him, take it from me that he has lied or the gambler did bribe him with q sum twenty times less. When

CONCERNING ANARCHISTS" THE
 FOREGOING "MuRDERER.'

More than two hundred people heard him make the statement Ill his circular he says that Bob VII Hams is an anarchist" Let me reply to that by saving that it is a distinc- tion and an honor, if honor there be, that Hale has enjoyed since he has lived here. Hale is too well and pub licly known here for him at this late hour to attempt to bestow honor else where. No one more worthy of the honor has ever lived in our commun- ity, and may we hope that when he takes his departure tha. we may Lever be cursed with another such as he.
 He would have you believe me to be a defanlter. If that were true he would never have made mention Of 1t, The law is that no man who has ever held office and Is defaulter can again hold office. That being the case, if I am, and I will be elected, l could not hold the office. The law says that MT. Hale shall hold office unt q his successor is elected and qualified If am short cannot quail fly. l cannot get commission be- cause am short. Therefore, Mir. eilale would hold the office. Does any one believe for a moment that Hale would put me wise to thing like that? Not much. He attempts to make you believe that have made $4,000.00 more year out of the of flee than the law allows. and kept it. The proof in the case between myself and Gus Buchanan brands him as dirty, wilful blackmailer and liarl The proof shows that in twenty months, which is more than a year and a half, earned, clear of all ex- pense, in both criminal and civil cases. less than $4,00000. The proof was taken by Judge Wood, who l will do credit of saying overlooked nothing in the testimony. This politi- cal demagogue. liar, blackmailer and bankrupt-this man who pays his debts at 50 cents on the dollar would have you believe that I re- ceived more money from the office than the law allowed me, and that all the county judges. prosecuting attor- neys, board of examiners and grand juries has allowed me to steal from county $64,00000. Strange, indeed, and he is member of the grand jury most of the time himself!

PARCELS POST Law; WHAT IT
MEANS, AND HOW IT Will WORK

THE report of the Secretary of Ag-
riculture for 1910 givestthe following
as the percentages of the prices paid
by the consumer, for which the farmer
received for the foodstuffs named:
Poultry, 55. per cent.
Eggs, by the dozen, $50.
Celery, by the bunch, 900.
Strawberries, by quart, 4S.9.
Oranges, by dozen, 20.3.
Melons, by pound, so.
Potatoes, by bushel, 1913.
Turkeys, 63. 4.
Cabbage, by head, AS
Apples, by bushel. 55.6.
Onions, by peck, 27.S.
Screen peas, by quart, 500.
'"Turnips, by bunch. 600.
"Parsnips, by bunch, 900.
%'"The problem before the country is
the way to get this stuff, these vital
necessities, from the producer to the
consumer by direct route. We must
have a direct from producer-to-consu'
mer way. We must handle the ship
ment in quantities to suit the consul
mers needs. The farm must be con.
nected with the kitchen. Ii this can
be done the problem of living will be
fairly we'll solved. The postal express
will do it."
The Postoffice Department is study
ing ways and means for handling
packages of small dimensions. The
hamper basket will be adopted where.
ever it is possible to use it. ~.
The experts of the department will
be ready soon to lay out the. zones
publish a system of maps, and give
more. details about the working of the
law. The law applies to the United
States and its Territories and posses
sions, excepting the Philippine Isl
ands.

Many Congressman were curious to

fixed as the maximum instead Of ten

Der. In foreign countries where the

grams, which is equivalent to about
eleven pounds, are the maximum
That fact had something to do with
making the limit eleven. -.~..
