HOW DUTCH FARMERS LIVE
Cattle Invariably Are Housed Under
The Same Roof az tho
Family.

The typical Dutch farmhouse Is
square. one-storied, with a pyramid
shaped roof. The space between the
apex of the roof and the ceiling of the
dwelling part Is generally used as a
storehouse for winter food for the cat
tie. The living room door opens into
the stable. for the cattle are invari-
ably houses under the same roof as
the family. The homes vary little in
their furnishings. One always sees
bright strips of carpet. highly pol
ished center table," where the family
Bible is displayed, and a glass dress
err, with ITS shelves filled with rare old
brass and Delft ware. The most curl
GUS thing about the houses is the
sleeping quarters-unique and certain
ly unhealthy from the modern view
point, which requires plenty Of fresh
air in the bedrooms.
The cheesemaker's family sleeps in
beds built in cupboard-like recesses in
the wall and as far from the window
as possible. There is a door similar
to that of cupboard, and this Is kept
closed during the day, in order that
the bed may be hidden from view. The
stuffy condition of this walled-in bed
room can be readily imagined. The
linen Is always snowy white, and the
whole makeup presents an attractive
appearance, even to the decorated
strap suspended from the ceiling and
used to assist the occupant of the
couch to arise. The visitor is always
welcome at the cheese farms, but the
visit must be made early in the morn.

SENATORIAL FORECAST
CAMPAIGN MANAGER, AVERY
E. MOORE, PREDICTS NOMI-
NATION OF BRUNDIDGE.

To the Friends and Supporters of
Hon. Stephen Brunddge, all over
Arkansas, | send this message, as
the Campaign nears it's close:
Mr.. Brundidge is going to be nomi-
mated for United States Senator by
the Democracy of Arkansas at the
primary, March 27.
This is no idle boast, but is an hon
| est prediction, based upon existing
conditions, and is as certain of full
fillment as any political forecast can
possibly be. | am nothing if not con-
servative and those who know me best
will agree that | am not given to vain
or extravagant boasting. After a
careful and deliberate survey of the
entire field of political activity in the
state, / am fully convinced that Mr.
Brundidge's race is already won.
A few months ago, such a claim
would have been met with smiles of
'dcrision from many of the opponents
as we'll as the supporters of Senator
Davis. There had developed popu-
lar idea that the Senator, with his
long string of victories, was absolute
~ invincible. Some of the Senator's
erstwhile followers still hold to this
view, and for them a rude shock is in
store when the result of the primary
is known.
1t would be hardly fair to the public
to send forth this prediction of Mr.
Prundidge's triumph without giving
some of the reasons that cause me to
reach this conclusion, and | will sub
NIT some facts in support of my con-
tention:
Senator Davis received the nominal
ton over Senator Berry by MAORI
| ty of a little more than $4,000 in the
entire state. A change of $500 votes
from Davis to Berry would have de-
feated the former and elected the lat
ter. This is an average of less than
Sc TO the county and means that if in
this election, Senator Davis receives
an average of about 80 votes in each
1 county less than he received six years
ago, and Brundidge receives 80 more
than Berry, Brundidge will be nomi-
mated.
| Six years ago Davis defeated Bar-
fry in Brundidge's old Congressional
District by large majority; and at
this election Mr.. Brundidges major
| ity over Senator Davis in the same
territoy will nearly double Davis for
mer majority, leaving change OF

election, and that he has, with punct
ual regularity drawn his salary, is
sufficient evidence to many fair-mind-
ed people that he is not suitable man
to represent them in the greatest law
making body in the world. He has
disappointed his friends, therefore,
there is a quiet but determined effort
among his former followers to rele-
gate him to private life. Now, my
friends, let every friend of Hon. S.
Brundidge roll up his sleeves and
keep up the good work until the close
of the primary, on March 9th. Mr..
Brundidge is going to win. There is
no doubt about it in my mind. l have
never in all my observation of polite
al contests seen such unmistakaDie
evidence as is now manifested of vic
tory for Hon Stephen Brundidge of
Searcy. Respectfully,
AVERY E. MOORE.

from home he adds this comment
WHICH HE DARE NOT MAKE
AT HOME, where the facts are
known.
Since he raises the standard of YER
aclty between US there is another
matter to which l desire to cal latten-
ton.
Many people in Perry county and
III the Fourche Valley have told me
that six years ago, when We were
both candidates for this same posi-
ton, that he told them that | was
young and could wait; that he was
getting old and that was his last
race, and that out of sympathy for
him, upon this argument, they gave
him their votes and support. At
Morrilton, on the stump, in the hear
ing of hundreds of people, HE DE-
MED EVER HAVING MADE
THIS STATEMENT. Now hear

ITO Whom it May Concern:
This is to certify that l, J. J. Hun
ter of Casa Township, Perry County
Arkansas, citizen and legal voter,
was on the local train during Judge
Wallace's last race for Chancellor
and Judge J. G. Wallace got on the
train at Adona, Ark, and made the
statement that this was his last race,
and that Jordan Sellers was worthy
young man and could wait. Taking
this in consideration, l voted for
Judge Wallace and made fight in
this Casa Township, for him.

j. j. Hunter is reputable and in
fiuential citizen of Perry county, and
was largely instrumental in carrying
Casa Township, in Perry county, as
well as two townships in Yell against
me six years ago. He now feels out
ragged, as do many others, that his
support was obtained under false pre-.
lenses.

is vice"

CURED.
in the state in which Senator Davis
will get as many votes as in his last
race, while Brundidge will receive
more than Berry, ranging from one
hundE ed to one thousand to the conn
ty. This would be improbable if
Brundidge, like Berry, had made no
canvass of the state and had no or
ganization. But he has a good organ
ization of his forces, and has made an
aggressive and winning campaign,
not only inviting Senator Davis to
meet him at every appointment but
urging him to do so. This, the Sena-
tor has declined to do, after measur-
ing lances with him at four appoint
ments in the beginning of the cam
paign, when he discovered that Mr.
Brundidge was showing him up be-
fore the people in such light as he
had never been shown up before
Notwithstanding Davis has jeered at
Senator Berry and called him a cow
ard because he would not meet him in
joint debate, he has refused to meet
Brundidge, because, as the Senator
explains to a confiding public, he does
not want to draw crowds for Brun-
didge or provoke personal difficulty.
When the last senatorial primary
was held Davis was governor, with
all the power the position carries with
it. The election machinery was in his
hands, he still had the appointive and
pardoning power, which he never hes
itated to use to advance his political
ends. None of these elements of
strength has he now, and instead of
his adding to his following in the
state, during his service in the
state, many of his most prominent
and influential supporters of other
days have deserted his standard and
are now supporting Mr.. Brundidge
earnestly and zealously. Not only
have these political leaders turned,
but among the ranks of the people,
thousands of farmers and other la
boring men are men to date support
ing Brundidge, who have always here
tofore voted for Davis. This asser-
ton is susceptible of the most ample
and convincing proof, and the evil
dence is coming from the hills and
hollows every day.
Mr.. Brundidge has made an able,
dignified and convincing campaign,
absolutely free from personal abuse,
discussing public issues in states
manlike way, and combining his criti-
cism of Senator Davis to a discussion
of his official record, dealing in facts
and figures that cannot be controvert-
ed or explained away. The Senator
has been trying to explain, but with
little success, and it is notable fact
that Mr.. Brundidge is the first man
to succeed in putting him on the de-
fensive, which is only another reason
why Mr. Brundidge is going to win
The people of Arkansas are fair
minded and honest; they have conf
dence in their officials until that conf
dence is betrayed. The very fact

In the Morrilton Democrat of
March 81, Judge Wallace, my oppon-
ent for Chancellor, says:
"My opponent, Mr.. Jordan Sellers,
in his circular letter of March 18th,
1912, states that except kinfolks there
is but one lawyer in my home town
supporting my candidacy for Chan
cellor. My attention was first called
to the circular by member of the
bar of Pope county. Did Mr.. Sellers
tell the truth? Here is what the
Pope county bar has to say about it,
This is followed by an endorsement
signed by portion of the bar of
Pope county, after which Judge Wal
lace continues:
"The question recurs on the propo-
sition: Did Mr.. Sellers tell the truth
when he said all the attorneys of
the Pope county bar excepting my
kinsmen were supporting him?
