STRONG ENDORSEMENT
OF BILLIE OLDFIELD
Cleburne Paper Praises Billie and
Thinks People Cannot be Fooled
By Disappointed Pie Hunters

Billie Oldfield's record in the ma
tional House of Representatives
has been one of which anyone can
feel proud. He has made good in
every respect. He has been true
representative of the people at all
times and has ever been found at
his post of duty and working for
the best interests of the people he
represents.
The greatest opposition to Mr..
Old6eld in the coming campaign
will be upon the length of time
that he has held this office, and his
most bitter opponents have to adj
init that his services have been
the best that the people could
have. As to the length of his SER
vice, it is well known fact that
the more experience man has in
the national house the better quail
fed he is to represent the people,
and Mr.. Oldfield is now getting to
the point in service where he can
be of the best service to his people.
In the older states of the east both
Congressman and Senators are
elected to the same office for many
terms because the people realize
the value of an experienced man.
1t would be no less than calamity
to give up Mr.. Cldfield at this time
for new man.
In this campaign Mr.. Oldfield is
being fought hardest by one of his
old time friends, George Trevath-
an of Batesville, all because he
(Oldfield) did not appoint Mr.. Ire
vathan as postmaster at that town.
The fact of the matter as stated
by Mr.. OIdfeld is that he Offered
the appointment to Mr.. Trevathan
Immediately after Mr.. Wilson was
elected president, but at that time
Mr.. Trevathan refused and asked
Mr.. Oldfeld to name Mr.. Deener
another citizen of that place. Then
after Mr.. Oldfeld had promised
the appointment to Deener and
his friends, Trevathan changed
his mind and asked for 1.-THE ap-
pointment and asked Mr.. Oldfeld
to break his word and promise to
Deener. This he refused to do of
course, therefore Trevathan is
fighting him hard and sending out
various kinds of reports from
Batesville that tend to injure Mr..
Oldfield throughout the district
Heber Springs Jacksonian.

III Christmas PRAYER
J H. JowErT, IN LADIES' HOME JOURNAL

. God, the Father Of all men, in Whose grace
all our light is born, and in Whose love is the
fountain of our festivity, mercifully lead me into
the holy secret of Christmatide, and take me into
the innermost room of its holy joy. Forbid that |
should remain in the outer courts, dwelling amid
its merely cana pleasures, satisfied with the mer-
riment that dies with the day, and contented with
the happiness that passes with the fading flower
and the whitening leaf. Bring me into the eternal
things of this blessed season. the things that abide
the love that manifests itself in unfang good will,
and the joy that rings Christmas bells all the year
around. Let me draw water out of the wells of sal
vation and let the joy of the Lord be my strength.
Gracousy give unto me the joy of perfect recon-
citation with Thy will May every disorderly pow
er in my soul be subdued to willing obedience
Create in me the music of harmonious fellowship
SO that all my powers may be united orchestra
to praise and bless Thy holy name
And mercifuly give unto me the joy Of spiritual
liberty. Let Thy statutes become my songs. Take
the reluctance out of my service and the frown out
of my obedience. Let me not be in Thy house in
the spirit of bond-slave but rather in the spirit of
a son, finding springs of comfort in Thy presence,
and esteeming Thy desire my delight.
God, give unto me the holy JOY of human SYM
pathy. Recreate the chords that have become in
sensitive to my brothers joys and griefs. If the
hafp Is broken gfacousy femake II out or the full-
ness of Thy love. Save me from the death of self
ishness. When Christmastime is over suffer me
not to die again,into moral benumbment, untroub-
led by my brothe1's sighs and uncheered by my
brothers songs. Unite me to my fellow with tend
er kinship, and let me be partaker of his triumphs
and defeats.
And graciously impart unto me the joy of gor-
ious hope. Let my horizon shine with most aur-
ing light May the Christmas star always go before
me, leading me to ever-deepening revelations of
ly grace and love.
Kindle Thou the Christmas fire of holy love.
Light the lamps of Christmas geniality and good
will. Hallow and glorify my Lords birthday with
Thy presence, and crown it with unsullied joy and
peace Amen.

gressive farmer who is on the alert

for making his farm pay a greater
dividend.

Appreciates A Live Town

The following letter from a resid-
ent of Iowa was clipped from the
Highmore Bulletin and gives Miller
the credit of being a live town:
Akron, Iowa, March IL, 1918.
The Editor:-We have been WON
dering lately if there is still a town
in central Hyde County, S. Dak,, by
the name of Highmore. Judging
from the reports of city daily papers
one might conclude that Miller is the
only town in central South Dakota
outside of Pierre. If there is still
the active, beautiful town of High
more in existence there is d family
in Chicago by the name of Jones
another in st. Louis, by the name of
Anderson that might decide to locate
there if they were sure the town
still exists. Would it not be a good
idea to let eastern people know in
SOfIlS way WldJ a Dtdulliul COuiltty
Hyde county is and the wonderful
opportunities to get homes there.
If the business men r too busy to
do so it might be well to get the
ladies to take w the work Active
effort along this line can easily double
the growth and land values in that
country.
The town of Miller seems to be
alive to its business interests and is
not slow to let the outside world
know what it is doing. Perhaps
Highmore is fully as prosperous but
1t is not published abroad so much.
1t seems to us that a county seat
having three banks. two weekly
newspapers, fourishing churches and
public schools and many other enter
prises must have benefits back of it,
if known abroad would materially
aid the town and county around it
in permanent growth.

MIDLAND ROAD
AGAIN HEARD FROM
Representative Talks To Large
Meeting i'm Commercial
Club

Secretary small, of Chicago, rep
reserting an organization of CAPT
talists know as the Midland-C ontin-
entail Railway Co., was in Miller
Friday moring and talked 70 a large
gathering at the Commercial Club
rooms.
The gentleman said this was just
an informal visit to see what the
town and people looked like. He
Uniformed his audience that the
Company he represented we're going
to build a north and south railroad
from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico,
or secure connections for such a
line. The company began building
last year in North Dakota, and now
have a line in operation between
jamestown and Edgely, about so
miles. They will build north this
year from Jamestown, but expect
w Sldl "OIh VII VIC SOuIIl SIlu IcAl
year, going from Edgely to Ipswich.
Their idea is to build in divisions
from one east and west line to an
other. At jamestown they turn
over their local traffic to the North
ern Pacific, and at Ipswich they will
turn over to the Milwaukee. The
next division in a straight line south
will be from Ipswich TO Miller, and
reach the Northwestern for traffic
arrangements on east or west
freight.
Mr. Small was well pleased with
a good live town, and felt sure that
we would see him again, lie was
rendered any reasonable help or en-
couragment the club could extend.
Governor Byrne was at the meet
ing and expressed a hope that some
such road would join Faulkton and
Miller.
