WHY kETcHuM WON.

Hon. II. S. Ketchum, who was re
nominated for his third term at the
late primary. is one OF the men who
can afford to smile. Nothing was too
mean for the progressiyes to conjure
up against him. They trotted out a
man named Ottoser against him. la
beled him the shippers friend and
proceeded to label Mr.. Ketchum with
all the offensive corporation epithets
they could possibly think OF. They
even had printed sample ballots and
distributed them in the progressive
stronghoids to poison the voters
against him Nevertheless Mr.. Ketch-
nm won. After noting the situation
as here outlined the yinton Eagle
thus explains why his candidacy was
crowned with success.
He went along in the even tenor
of his way standing on his record as
a friend of the people and the ship
DeTs. So near the line OF exact JUS

reads could find no fault with his de
oisions. Tie test OF his record was
shown in the vote he received in Linn
county. In that county, in which Is
located Cedar Rapids. standing nest

Worn and footsore was the Prophet,
When he reached the holy hill;
God has left the earth ne muir

Wilt Thou talk with me no more?
Have not as truly loved Thee
AS THY chosen ones Of yore?

BY Thy mercy beseech Thee,
Grant Thy servant but a sign.''
Bowing then his head. he listened
For an answer to his prayer.
No loud bursts OF thunder followed,
Not a murmur stirred the air.
But the tuft Of moss before him
Opened while he waited yet.
And from out the rocks hard bosom
Sprang a tender Tiolet.
4God. 1 thank Thee" said the Prophet.
Hard Of heart and blind was !.
Looking to the holy mountain
For the gift of prophecy.
Still Thou speakest with Thy chill

Freely as in old sublime.
Humbleness and love and patience
Give dominion over Time.
Had / trusted in my nature,
And had faith in lowly things,
Thou Thyself wouldst then have
sought me,
And set free my spirits wings.
"Bnt looked for signs and wonders
That DER men should give me sway
Thirsting to be more than mortal,
was ever less than clay.

AS I GRIT my loins to start,
Ran to me my little daughter,
The beloved Of my heart.
.In her hand she held flower,
Like to this as like may be
Which beside my very Threshold
She had plucked and brought to
me"

FARMERS UNION
|SNOT SUPPORTING
ANY CANDIDATE
EFFORT TO FOOL THE FARMERS
WILL NOT AMOUNT TO ANY
THINGS, SAYS HUTCHENS.

An effort is being made to align
| the farmers of Georgia against Oscar
w. Underwood, ON the ground that
he betrayed the farmers of Geor-
gia by allowing Mr. Lamb of Virginia
to be appointed Chairman of the Ag-
matter of fact, every well informed
man knows that Mr.. Underwood and
Mr. Lamb got their appointments
from the same source and that Mr..
| Underwood did not appoint Mr.. Lamb.
Besides, how many ever heard of the
incident before? How many have
heard of Oscar Underwood as the
true and tried friend of the former
and the one man in the United States
who drafted the FARMERS FREE
BILL AND PUT 1T THROUGH CON
GRESS. The sorriest part of it is
that this effort to align the farmers
of Georgia against their best friend is
not being made by the Republicans,
but by people who call themselves
emocrats-Professor Wilson's Geor-
gia managers.
Il see by the papers that Prof. Will
sons managers claim that the Farm
ers' Union is supporting Prof. Will
son." said Manager Hutchens of the
Underwood campaign. 81 do not be-
lieve it. Upon what authority can
they say so? The Farmers Union is
not supporting anyone for the Presi-
dency. It's not a political organization,
nor can any man deliver its members
or its support to any candidate. This
state. just as it is an insult TO their
intelligence to tell them that Oscar
Underwood is not their friend"
Every farmer knows that Under
wood was the author of the farmers
free list bill, and succeeded in having
it put through the house, though Taft
vetoed it. Under the terms of this
act there were placed on the free list
all agricultural implements including
plows, tooth and disk harrows, head
ers, harvesters, reapers, agricultural
drills and planters, mowers, horse
rakess cultivators, threshing ma
chimes and cotton gins farm wagons
and carts, and all other agricultural
implements of all kinds and descrip-
tons, as well as bagging for cotton.
burlaps and bags or sacks for sacking
agricultural implements, harness and
saddles, barbed fence wire, wire
strands and wire staples, as well as
also boots and shoes, sewing ma
chimes. house material, foodstuffs and
other articles.
This bill would have removed any
possible discrimination against our
farmers in the prices of these neces-
sary articles, and would have placed
them on an equal footing with the
rest of the world Our domestic man
ufacturers of agricultural tools, nipple
ments. vehicles and machinery are
largely organized into great trusts
and combinations, which are selling
these articles cheaper abroad than at
home, which caused agricultural as
sociations in all parts of the country
to protest by public resolutions.
Taft vetoed this measure, which
was drafted by Mr.. Underwood and
over which he labored zealously for
months. But when we put Mr.. I'm
derwood in the white house, the far
mer, in common with the rest of US,
will come into his own.

So we'll pleased with Americas is
Mr.. j! F. Henry, wealthy North Da-
kotan. who for several days has been
prospecting here, that not only will be
invest in farming lands in Sumter
county, but proposes purchasing q
home in Americas and removing from
the bleak Northwest to the balmy
Southland.
Mr.. Henry came directly from his
home in North Dakota to Americas, in
duced to make the long journey by adj
vertisements of Sumter county lands,
judiciously placed in the papers of that
section. He came, he saw, and now he
is ready to stay.
Preferring to see more of this sec
ton, Mr.. Henry spent two days look
ing at farms in adjacent counties. He
returned to Americas yesterday, more
than satisfied that Sumter county Of
fers better lands and better opportun-
tiles for investment than he discov-
cred in other sections visited.
Americas, Mr. Henry thinks, is one
of the most attractive little cities he
has ever visited, and when he selects
and purchases his farming lands, as
he will do at once, he will cast about
for home here to which to bring his
family.
There are many other well-to-do
farmers in the great Northwest, Mr.
Henry says, who would gladly come
to southwestern Georgia if they but
knew conditions here-the fine eli
m3te, the splendid agricultural Sec
ton and unexcelled opportunities Of
fered the farmer to make money.
HIS coming here will assuredly re

WHOLE WHEAT FOODS.

All of the entire wheat prepa-
rattons on the market, whether
cooked or not, have been more
or less Injured by excessive
roasting or by steriIizlng to pre-
vent them from spelling readily.
Many of these preparations are
better than fresh white bread,
especially for children, but none
OF them has all the nutritive
value of the original wheat.
Wheat can be obtained from a
country mill cracked after pass
ing through the cleaning proc
ess. This grain prepared in the
freless cooker contains all the
nutriment of the wheat, per-
feet food for the adult. The un-
broken grain will keep longer
and the finely ground whole
wheat flour, which Is rarely
found In stores, keeps only a
short time. Most of the oat
flakes on the market have been
cooked, some being roasted so
much as to be much reduced in
nutritive value.
