Our Boosters

We print the following from
The Greenfield Journal:
Will a merchant who is wise
Ever cease to advertise
Yes
When the trees grow upside down;
When the beggar wears a crown;
When ice forms on the sun;
When the sparrow weighs a ton;
When gold dollars get too cheap;
When secrets women keep;
When fish forgets to swim:
When Satan sings hymn;
When girls go back on gum;
When the small boy hates drum;
When no politician schemes;
When mince pies make pleasant dreams
When it's fun to break tooth;
When all lawyers tell the truth;
When cold water makes you drunk;
When you love to smell a skunk;
When the drummer has no brass;
When these things all come to pass
The man that's wise
Will neglect to advertise.
And if you would be wise,
You will not neglect to patronize
These men who advertise.

MAY NOT GET TO
VOTE IN NOVEMBER

Phoenix Ariz.--If Arizona is
to vote for president next Nov.
ember the present legislature
must enact an election law.
Attorneys who have looked
into the question, declare that
unless a law is passed to carry
out the provisions OF the con-
sitution, presidential electors,
the congressional representative
and legislators can not be chos-
en- in November. Under the pecu-
liar provisions of the constitution
the state Will not be able to cast
ballot t1r president, and tor
two years will be without a re-
preventative in the lower house
of congress Or a legislature.
The state officers chosen last
fall will hold over "until their
successors are elected and quail
fed" ThecOnstitution says, that
the first state legislature shall
hold Office till the first day OF
Janury, 1918, and does not pro-
vide that the members hold over.
in the event successors are not
chosen. Under the United States
law the term of Congressman
Hayden expires on that date.
AS the territorial law did not
contemplate the election of pre-.
sidential electors, no special
election to choose such officials
can be help. When Arizona was
a territory presidential electors
did not exist and there was a
delegate in congress, not a re-
preventative.
The constitution provides for
the choosing Of electors and a
congressman, but it is self-act-
ing. A special election law must
be passed by the legislature to
carry the provisions of the con-
sltutiOn into effect.
There has long been a conflict
OF opinion regarding whether
state officers can be elected next
fall. The constitution says that
elections shall be held in each
"even numbered year. after
Arizona's admission to the
union. At the time the consitu-
tiOn was drawn, it was suppos-
ed Arizona would enter the
union IN 1911 and that 1912
would be the first even numbered
year. But sta .ehood was delay.
eu and President Taft did not
sign the proclamation until Feb
ruary, 1912. Therefore 1914 is
the next even numbered year.
No matter whether an election
is held in November the state
officials will hold until their
successors ate elected and
qualified. But there will be 10
legislature, there will be no pre-
sidential electors and there will
be no congressman after the first
of January, 1913
No one seems to have discov.
cred that if presidential electors
q new legislature and a repre-
sentative in congress are chosen
next November, it must be at
an election held under a law
that does not now exist. There
were no such offices under the
territorial from of government,
therefore no provisions were

CHICKENS

SOUTHEASTERN IOWA POULTRY
FANCIERS TO HAVE BIG
EXHIBITION. =

Fairfield, Nov. 15.-The Southeast
ern Iowa Poultry Fanciers association
will hold it's annual meeting in Fair
neld December % to 81 and plans are
already being made for one Of the

to act as judges at this show. They
are Charles H. Rhodes Of Topeka, Kan.
and Adam Thompson of Am1ty, MO.

rangements are already being made
for the armory floor space for this oc-
casion Poultry raisers from several

ming to assist in the event to the ex-
tent of thoroughly advertising the
event and also offering some premiums
worth while. There will be a meet
ing of the local members of the asso-
citation in a few days at which more
definite plans of action for the event
will be mapped out.

try raisers and from now on extra
