In particular, wish to mention those pertaining to intoxicat- Ing drinks. l am not crank, and do not believe l am extreme in my views, but since We have practically a dry state; county that led all others in the dry column; a city that above all should be temperate, 1 shall insist up- on these laws being strictly enforced.
 Those addicted to strong drink we do not hope to cure-theirs is habit; to those who keep beverages in their homes, we cannot reach-it is their privilege; those who drink on the streets and public places are violators of the law, and should be punished; {; but those who sell or give away in- toxicating drinks and those who tempt youth-the law hath not made the penalty too great for them Sen timent makes good law-such laws must be enforced
 Light and Water-For the past two or three years there has been quite a good deal of discussion about a commission for the handling of our light and power plants. At first, was very much impressed with the idea and thought it wise solution of the problem. l am now inclined to doubt the wisdom of such a move up- on the part of the council.

SEEKS TO LIMIT THE INVESTIGATION 10 CHANCE IN POINSETT KIRBY FAVORS AND CLARKE OPPOSES FULL INQUIRY OF
 ALLEGED FRAUDS.
Special to the Log Cabin Democrat.


 Little Rock, April 15.-No decisive action was taken today in the Kirby Clarke senatorial contest before the State Democratic Central Committee The entire forenoon was devoted to the argument of a resolution offered by Clarke supporters to limit the con- test to an investigation of the charge that the returns from Poinsett county had been changed after the official canvass was made.
 Troy and Frank Pace, representing Judge Kirby, demanded the fullest in- vestigation of all frauds in Poinsett county, especially the charge that 529 more votes had been cast than there are poll tax payers in the county.
 w. M. Lewis, representing Senator Clarke, spoke in support of the reso- lution. Committeeman Clyde Going answered the charges brought against Poinsett county by Judge Kirby and declared the returns were neither padded nor changed, and the ballots and poll books will be delivered when the committee asks for them.
 When the committee adjourned at noon it was announced that both Judge Kirby and Senator Clarke would speak this afternoon.

JONFSBORO SERIES
 GOES TO HENDRIX

Jonesboro, April 15.-The Hendrix College Bulldogs won the second game from the Aggies yesterday by score of 8 to 6. Coach Tarr of the locals seected Harb for twirling, but in the fourth inning he yielded six hits and hit batter. These, with two errors, gave the visitors seven runs.
 In the fifth he was replaced by Me Adams, who held the visitors score less for the remainder of the game, allowing only two hits. Owens was on the mound for Hendrix, and for four innings was invincible, but later the Aggies found him for eight hits. Harb, out of three times up, got two home runs. McAdams connected for two safeties. Cook also got two, one a double.
 The Hendrix team returned home this morning, where Friday and Sat urday they play Henderson Brown College of Philadelphia.

slbillty to such a commission. but do not believe it will shift or that it will meet with the hearty approval of the people. In other words, it be the stretching political lines a little bit farther, give rise to more dissension Tn the management of the plants-too many bosses spoil the bossed. It is rather an indirect way of handling the business. The people are holding us responsible-the council looks to the commission-the commission ex- poets the superintendent or some one else to keep things going.
 Few men who are really capable. would offer or feel obligated to serve. on such a board, while those who. might want to serve, very likely, would have some selfish purpose, in view. l am in favor of the commis- sion form if you can induce reliable and competent men to serve without pay. Otherwise not.
 lmprovements-Fo the past five years We have spent much money in building concrete walks and street crossings, until now the city is pretty we'll threaded with walks in every ,di- rection. Unless there are gaps to be filled in, or some unfinished work that is needed, think we should let the sidewalks alone until our streets are in better shape.

They are we'll pleased with the coun.

make this country blossom like the
rose in few years. In talking with
one OF the gentlemen from Tindell
he said that crops were exceedingly
poor there this season, the black rust
having damaged the wheat pretty
bad and it is only yielding two or
three bushels per acre, and the corn
is very smutty there this season and a
poor yield.

which makes total since our last is.

the total precipitation of last year by
81 inches, and we yet have two and a

certainly been very favorable to
those following agriculture in this
country, and if the succeeding years
are as favorable the farmers of this

yesterday at Vanwert, Ia, by the
agent of Wyoming Bill $ show they
had been travelling with all summer,
and as their tickers were good only to
Omaha, they spent the night sleeping
in their blankets Oh the tiled floors Of
the Burlington depot waiting room.
The federal authorities will see that
the delegation gets back to their
Indian home. An agent named
Whitton was instructed to pay off the
Indians on the train and see that they
were properly returned to their reser-
walton. The man, the chief says,
gave him a bag marked $500" at
Vanwert aud told him to pay the
troop. That was the last seen of
Whitton. In the bag was $685. in
nickels and a bunch of paper that
made a noise like money.

"UncIe Rufus Weds.

Miss Grace Brown and Mr.. David
Wesley Hanna of Lexington, Neb.,
were united in marriage Wednesday,
October Ia, 1914, at the home OF Mr..
and Mrs. Thos. Gallagher in Happy
Hollow.
The bride, Miss Grace Brown, was
one of the prominent lady home
steaders of Happy Hollow and per-
haps did as much or more than any
one to put this particular section of
the county on the map. She is born
booster, andsthrough her writings for
the press succeeded in making Happy
Hollow known far and wide. Up un-
til the time she left here last January
she was steady contributor to the
columns of the Pioneer and her Uncle
Rufus letters were highly appreciated
not only by our local readers but
those living at a distance. She is en-
dowed with a gift as a humorous
writer that few possess, and would
make a success at this kind of work.
She is also one of the most gifted
amateur cartoonists, and our readers
will remember her handiwork in this
line by the weekly cartoon that &C.
companied her writings. She proved
up on a nice quarter of land here last
January, aud then departed for her
former home at Kearuey, Neb., where
she lived with her mother. She re-
turned to Mellette county September
5th and has been visiting here since
then with friends and relatives in her
dearly beloved Happy Hollow neigh
borhood.
We are sorry we are unable to give
a more complete account of the we'd
ding ceremony and the reception
which followed but perhaps our
Happy Hollow or Pure Water CORES
pondent will attend to this detail in
their next weeks letters.
The bride has host friends in this
county and wide acquaintance who
will join the Pioneer in wishing !. her
health, happiness and good cheer in
her married life.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hanna will be at
home to their friends in Lexington,
Nebraska, after November 1st.

SATURDAY SPECIAL SALES
Advertising Which Helps the House.
Nuife
advertisements


The ablest merchant is the one who
makes his advertising of Purse-inter-
est to the housewife He makes his
store a necessary factor in the man
agement of her home.
For a long time we have heard how
high prices have operated to make
the problem of daily living expenses
difficult one to meet. In every fam
lily, whether the available money for
family expenses" is much or little,
the "buyer'--who is the housewife--is
forced to adopt purely business meth
DDS of buying. She must manage"
the spending of the money with quite
as much wisdom as is required in the
earning of it.
This does not tend to make her
seeker of cheap" things-but of real
values. Prices, to her, are merely
relative. She has learned that the
poorest sort of economy" is to buy
cheap" things. She has learned to
know. to properly judge values.
And when her ad reading discloses
to her what means to be. real buy
ing opportunity--well you would have
a hard time to persuade her to disre-
gard it, or to pass it by
The advertising in this newspaper
is especially intended to appeal TO this
class of women. The merchants real
ize that, in the present day stress of
competition, they must make their
stores serve the housewife who aims
to eXpend her "house money" to the
best possible advantage.
So many superlatives and such .un-
stinted praise have been showered on
the ad. news that it is difficult to &C
curately portray the Bussell Weston
feature of the day. Plainly it is SO
