DR.. S. Maddox G. Son shipped to
j. B. Davis in Kansas two nice 2
year old fillies, sired by Missouri
Denmark 1904. This was mail
order and the second one Mr.. Davis
has sent Maddox & Son, which
shows they send out horses worth

and got bargains.
Claude Courtney bought fine 2

A party of four young men were
in this city part of last week
preaching on the streets and dis
tributing Mormon literature They
were Elders of the Church of the
Latter Day Saints and apparently
were intelligent young men. They
made house to house convaS dur
ing the day and preached on Main
Street in the evening. Apparently
they seemed to rather avoid the
male part of the population prefer
ing to work with the ladies of the
household and in some cases they
were so anxious to distribute their
literature that they even gave books
to the lady of the house free Of
charge. The Elders claimed to sell
the books at publishers prices.

interests and welfare of the people
He believes that the material re-
sources of the State should be de-
veloped to their limit. Prosperity
is the right of every man, and all
that the State can do to advance
that prosperity, it is the States
duty to do, He believes moreover,
that agriculture is the foundation of
all prosperity and that in the en-
couragement of agriculture the
State is not only benefting the
farmer but every other citizen, no
matter what his vocation. He be-
lieves in good roads, not as an alb
stract theory, but as concrete fact
He knows that economics are posi-
BILE in two institutions alone under
the management of the State that

rect expense upon the farmer, the
symbol of progressiveness is his
standard.
