 That can be very easily arranged, !" replied the affable editor, after a glance at the manuscript
 "Oh. thank your, sir" panted the poet.
 First 1t will be necessary for you to pay our business office 50 cents for each line the poem contains. Then the clerk in the business office, to whom you pay the money, will affix the let ters 'advt' to your poem, in brackets at the top or bottom, just as you pre- fer. After that has been done there will be no reason why you shouldn't see your poem in print"

Our Country Cousins at the Fair

 "The number of farmers and their fam flies that attended the fair Is good sign that year by year more interest is being taken by the sons of the soil in improved farming" said an observant man.
 q have paid particular attention to this class of visitors, not only on the grounds, but on the streets and the cars. I notice that the farmers hunt out the agricultural exhibits, the chickens and the live stock. On one of my trips to the fair grounds I asked a sunburned lad, who said his home was in Tallapoosa, what most interested him. He said the motorcycle races and the corn club ex- hibit He said that his brother was with him, and that they were .having a fine time

mer. Taken all together the country never has been so well off as it is now.
 Henry Clews has issued a special re- view to cover the government crop re- ports and among other things he says: Intrinsic conditions continue satisfac- tory. The volume of trade is large and steadily increasing. There is no abate- ment in the pressure of traffic upon the railroads. which are certain to make much more satisfactory reports gross and net than a year ago for the three months ending December 1.
 "Fortunately home politics is attract
 ing less and less attention. The outcome of the campaign becomes more and more evident. and the result will probably be fully discounted in advance, provided no sues in question are obscured by the personalities which have entered into the campaign. but the feeling grows that whichever party wins the policy will be to disturb business as little as possible. With the approach of a holiday there was naturally less disposition to trade, in view of what is happening in the Bal kans Very soon the market will be watching election day and endeavortng to discount it's result, so that conditions suggest a somewhat unsettled and huct- uating market. Nevertheless, as already stated. intrinsic conditions are satisfac- tory and sound, and in the long run we may anticipate a more active and stronger market for stocks. Our agri- cultural prosperity is a rock of strength and has not yet been fully discounted'

As a usual thing when elections are over that the papers drop it,
but a few of the great unwashed are still harpng on it. Their main
cry is that the Republicans have nothing to crow about when Warren

that the republicans stole the election. We suppose that they are

That Water Question.

In another column W print another letter from Judge Kuyken-
dali relative to the Water QUESTION. We call attention to those inter-
ested in this matter to the fact that the Judge stands ready to answer
any and all of the so-called facts that have been spread broadcast in
this matter. Now if you think that you have anything to say, say it,
but it must have all the ear marks of the truth, backed by substan.
ciated facts, not guess work or hearsay. We advise those who have
had their fingers burned heretofore in trying to answer like matters
published in this paper, that they had better not butt in unless armed
with something more substantial that the stuff whispered from ear
to "a shout this matter in the last campaign. The columns of this
paper ire open to any and all who wish to take the matter up in a
respectable manner using facts and truth. Now some of those people
that have made such a noise, hop to it, or stand corrected and drop
the matter.

We have no objection of John E. Osborne being Secretary of the
Interior or anything else in the Wilson Cabinet that he wants, or can
get, and we do want to Sc a man in the Secretary of the Interior
chair from the west. One thing that we consider that is the most
prominent feature of that position, is the fact, that it should be a man
well posted oil. law or else an able lawyer. Surrounded as the Secre-
tary is with lawyers on every side, he himself should be a competent
lawyer as all secretaries have been heretofore. 1t takes a legal mind
of no small ability and we hesitate suggesting any one but a lawyer
to fill the place. However, Mr.. Osborne will probably be taken care
of in some manner by the new administration, but hardly as Score
tary of the Interior. Alva Adams of Colorado is getting the support
for that eminent Office.
