THE BEST CANDIDATE IN
THE RACE

i endorse the candidacy of James
A. Houchin for Governor of Missouri,
because l believe that he can be elect
ed Governor of Missouri by a larger
majority than any other candidate in
the race. He does not belong to the
ring and is running strictly on his
merits. Not only myself, but a large
majority of the business men, farmers
and laboring people of this county,
favor the candidacy of Mr.. Houchin
for Governor on account of his sterl-
ing qualities, honesty and business
ability, and on account of his quail
t~ications to give Missouri a business
administration.
Mr.. Houchin should receive the uni
versal support of labor. He is the
only candidate that has made the
race for Governor in this state that
has Endorsed labor in his platform,
others have made verbal promises,
but labor has received only these
promises. On account of Mr.. Houchin
being known as a man of his word,
never having been accused of going
back on a promise, on account of the
hundreds of laborers employed by
him at his factories, and the high
scale of wages paid them, l am more
than satisfied that labor, during his
administration as Governor of Mis-
souri,, will receive a square deal. That
labor will have a friend in Mr.. Hou-
chin, and that their grievances will
be heard by him. He will see that
'they have equal rights, protection
and a square deal"

FOR HOUCHIN ALL THE
TIME.

Mr.. Houchin's outlook for Govern
or of Missouri in this part of the State
is fine. We want a man who believes
In better labor conditions, school dis
tricts and good roads. l have known
Mr.. Houchin for several years, and
for truthfulness and honesty there is
NJ better nan in the State. My faith
er, two brothers, nine uncles, eight
cousins and myself are for Mr.. Hou-
chin first, last and all the time, and
we are working for that end in Barry,
Lawrence and Newton counties for
everything there is to it.

FINDS HIS RECORD TO BE
CLEAN.

l am for Mr.. Houchin because Mis-.
souri, is very much in need of a clean
business administration, and the farm
er and !aborer are much in need of
representation in the framing Of our
laws. Mr.. Houchin's business ability
and integrity are too well known to
need comment. I have thoroughly in
vestigated his record and find 1t clean.

The Voters Decide the Issue

The people are beginning to awaken to a realization OF the
fact that the government of the city, state and nation belong
to them and that they can take the government into their own
hands. This is the ideal the Democratic party stands for, the
rule of the people for the people as opposed to government by
a class for a class. Jas. A. Houchin is a full fedged Democrat
with a clean slate. He is no political trckster but a plain,
honest and successful business man, a progressive farmer, a
wide-awake man saturated with that class of executive ability
that demands results and accomplishes his purpose and de-
sres, which are for the good of all the people all the time.

R OF POLITICAL RING.

We are getting absolutely tired Of
one set Of men getting into Office and
using that Office al the stepping stone
to another. What Missouri needs to
carry her to the front is a business
man in a business place.
The people of Missouri should vote
for you IL you had only n plank
in your platform and that is the plank
in regard to teaching agriculture in
the public schools.

OCRATS TO VOTE FOR
HOUCHIN.

I have known Mr.. Houchin person
ally for ten years. He is a competitor
of mine in the horse business in JEFF
ferson City, where we both live, and
I am very intimately acquainted with
him.
To say the least, he is one of the
most energetic, broad-minded and en-
terprising men in the State and l
heartily endorse his platform and
think it is to the interest of every
citizen in Jefferson City and through.
out the State, to do the same.

HOUCHIN o u MAKE A
GOOD GOVERNOR.

A mans fitness to fill any station
in life is measured in a large degree
by his successes, and when called
upon to fill public position, what he
has been and done measures largely
the confidence that the public may
have in him to fill the position to
which he aspires, or which perhaps
has been voluntarily offered to him.
Such a nan in my judgment is Mr..
Jas. A. Houchin, candidate for Gov
ernor on the Democratic ticket and a
successful business man of Jefferson
City, Mo.

being out of the ordinary course of
politics and in line with what we
farmers have advocated in our union
meetings, and, being a farmer and a
member of the Farmers Union of

than the other candidates in the field.

Sandals for Small Children.

If children wear sandals until they
are three or four years old, they will
have a natural-shaped foot, strong,
ankle muscles and will stand and walk
properly. We are all taught to point
the toes out when walking. This, how
ever, is an unnatural position, and
only adds greater strain on the in
side muscles of ankle and foot, caus-
ing. in many cases, weak ankles and
other foot troubles. Let the toes
point straight in front when standing
or walking, allow the feet to have
plenty of room to grow, select broad,
flat-heeled shoes for your children,
and start them toward manhood on
womanhood with normal feet, strong
ankles, thus lessening the danger of
corns, bunions and all other foot trou-
bles.

NOVEL DINNER PARTY IDEA
progression" Does Away With Minor
Annoyance That Sometimes
Mars the Occasion.

A girl who is looking for way out
of the common to entertain some OF
her young friends will find a pro
gressive dinner party" a jolly affair.
There is nothing better for helping
along new acquaintance, and 1t also
works wonders in another way-in not
allowing old friends to talk too exclu-
sively with each other. Often the fun
of a small entertainment is spoiled
because one or two couples spend al
most the whole evening in talking to
each other, neglecting every one else.
The young hostess has not always ex-
perience enough to prevent this mis-
take gracefully.
The progressive dinner party is
managed as follows: Each young man
is told to take a certain girl in to din
ner, as at any dinner party. The
places at table are shown by the
usual cards with names. During the
first course they sit in these places,
but as the plates are being changed
each young man takes the place Of the
next one to the right Tor left. This
is repeated after each course, the
change being always in the same d.
rection. The girls do not move, so
young men have an opportunity to
talk to each girl.

"A distinguished eye surgeon tells a
good story of his hospital days. Three
other young, newly fedged oculists
and himself were chatting in their
quarters in the hospital when the con-
versation turned, as was natural in
young men, upon the beauty of differ
ent colors of eyes. One championed
the superior brilliancy and sparkle Of
the blue eye; another the depth and
fire of the brown, while the third was
all for the clear, cool light of the
hazel After they had exhausted their
eloquence, with the usual effect of con-
firming themselves In their original
opinions, the fourth young sawbones
suddenly broke in;
Il don't care a hang about your blue
eyes, or your brown eyes, or your gray
eyes Just give me sore eyes and
