The statement was made the other
day in the press dispatches that enough
money had been pledged to finance the
Wilson campaign. This statement may
be true. and because it is true it may
do harm. Between the pledge and the
payment there may be a gulf as wide
and deep as the deep blue sea. Texas.

man for Texas-has pledged S50.00b.
But only half Of it has been collected
and paid in. Let every democrat look

to make-has been paid.

value, of which the farmer sells produce
worth q billion dollars, and for which
the consumers pay Ii billion dollars, by

would mean 1 billion 400 million dollars

THURSDAY. OCTOBER "a 1912.
WILLIAM RUGH.

William Rugh died the other day and
they buried him. Not with the honors
of war, but with the honors of peace.
For the lads coffin was buried deep
under flowers. and hundreds of women
and children walked in procession about
his bier, and did him honor, not in vol
leys of yillianous saltpeter, but in tears
and gentle words.
When William was a child he was
stricken with infantile paralysis. and
one of his legs remained partly useless
as a result. Recently in his town, a girl
was so badly burned that the doctors
said she must die unless the scorched
skin upon her body could be replaced
William volunteered to give the skin
Of this lame leg to save the life of the
girl. 1t was not much of a leg, per
haps, but Il was one of a pair-the
ONLY pair Villa mowned. The sacri-
flee was not in vain, as far as the girl
is concerned. for it seems certain that
she will recover. Tt meant. however
the amputatiOn of the leg that had been
denuded of its cuticle for the benefit OF
another. After the amputation, com
complications set in which cost the boy
his life. His last words were:
Tin glad / did it. Tell her | hope
she gets well quick, doc"
If William had been Older and a can
didate for Office, he might have made
more of his opportunity to get in the
limelight. but he was young and not
q candidate. All the publicity he got
was thrust upon him by the big-hcarted
folk. He neither sought II
nor expected it. BY this time next year
his heroic story will have passed out OF
the memory of everybOdy-cAcept pos
sibly the memories of a few people III
his town. Nevertheless inc was a really
truly hero. The kind OF hero beloved by
Him who died for men.

EDGAR EISENHOWER NEARLY
LOSES SIGHT OF BOTH EYES

Edgar Eisenhower, night engineer
at the Belle Springs creamery, nearly
lost the sight of both his eyes Mon
day night. Thinking the pressure OF
the ammonia tank of the gas compress
sor OF the ice paint was shut off, he
took off the bonnet of valve on the
tank letting large quantity
of ammonia gas escape, and burning
him severely about both eyes. 1t
was first thought that the sight OF
both eyes would be lost. One eye
is still in bad condition but the
attending physician says there is no
danger of him going blind.
