take rations along with him.
Maybe if we can pull through

We read W. S. Campbell's letter
with interest, especially in regard to
the rural districts; their develop
ment and betterment and why they
are failures in some respects. As
American people we are very much
alike. When a farmer has attained
enough Of this worlds goods to
make him independent he hikes"
off to some other state or moves to
town. And frequently to his detri-
ment, for he had been a success on
the farm, and with his experience 1t
Is presumed he would retain that
tact which would make him q ben
eft to his country and his neigh
bors. The old English idea Is very
much unlike ours When a town
or city Englishman wishes to retire
from business he moves to the
country, Taking all In considera-
ton, where there Is prosperous
country you'll see ilourishine towns,
but sap the country Of Its best re-
sources and towns are usually fail
ures. The country Is an ideal place
when fully developed and Is Gods
own choice. As the old adaee says

Politics is bubbling some here.
Most everybody, is taking sides,
some for Jeff, some not. jeff has

not to quit, and has the same old
SONG to deliver. Brundidee seems

than Jeff. But Jeff is hard on
trusts. However, the trusts trust
on lust the same. the way he can
cuss Rockefeller and the oil pipe
lines is a sin. Some few years ago
there was a line surveyed for pip
ind oil from St. Louis to Caddo, La.
This line passed right through Lick
Fork Maybe Jeff stopped it, be-
cause he said he would not let a
d pipe line 60 through Arkan-
sas. He won't gain many votes in
Lick Fork for that.
Some of our readers may not
know where Lick Fork is located,
but just ask Uncle Joe" Shanks,
who lives midway between Evening
a. Shade and Sidney. He spent his
Early days here nimroding for the
