IN THE BIG SEVENTH.

0. w. DawSOn-remember that
name and don't confuse it with
John Dawson. who is running for
the supreme court. For o. WI
Dawson is the big. outstanding, |
fearless Progressive who is run
ming for Congress from the Big
Seventh District. The Big Seventh
District has produced a great
many famous men. Judge Peters
came from the Seventh; so did
Jerry Simpson and Chester Long
and Victor Murdock and Ed Mad
ison. 1t is a long jump from Ed
Madison to JOuett ShOuse or John
Simmons, even if they had lomake
it in two jumps" by landing on
Neeey. But from Ed Madison to
0. w. Dawson would be a natural
step. For 0. w. Dawson is the
kind of a forward-lOoking man
who will wear well the mantle of
the really great men who have
represented the Big Seventh in
Congress. Dawson is real man.
He wears no ones brass collar.
He has lived in the district since
bOyhOOd-no carpet-bagger he;
and Dawson has stood up for the
people of his district. He doesn't
go riding around the district max
ing his campaign on a Santa Fe
pass. He is spending his own
money for his election, and when
he is elected he will owe nothing
to any corporation nor any party
machine.
ShouSe and Simmons stand for
the old machines. The Thompson
Neeley post office machine is be-
hind ShouSe. The Curtis court
house machine, made from the
fragments of the old Long ma
chine, is behind Simmons. They
are both Standpat machines. SIM
mons was with Taft two years
ago; Neeley and his crowd were
with Speaker Clark. There is no
place for a Progressive to cast his
vote in the Seventh District ex-
cept for o. w. Dawson. It's
Standpat on both the other tickets.
Dawson will so to Congress a
free man. Why should not the
district be represented once by a
real man; it's been a long time
since Ed MadiSon'S kind of a man
was sent from the Seventh dis
trict to Congress. But Dawson is
that kind of a man.-William AL

FOR CORONER.

While the office of coroner is
one which comes far down the list
on the ballot, yet it is very i'm
portant one, and the voters OF
the county should see to it that
DR.. F. L. McCauley, of HOiSington,
is reelected to the place. DR.. Nc
CauIey has filled this office in a
most acceptable manner for the
past term, and is entitled to re-
election to the position. On ac-
count of his practice and the fact
that the office is by no means a
lucrative one, he is not making
an active campaign for the place,
but every Democrat in the county
should cast their vote for him next
Tuesday.

of Southern University a Greensboro,
Ala, was perhaps, the greatest of the
series, delivered by this eminent di-

the greatest meeting Century has ever
experienced. The people congratulate
themselves in having been fortunate
enough to have such a scholarly and
genuinely consecrated man to conduct
meeting in their midst. For college
presidents to engage in work of this
kind, is something unusual, but it is
good work, and a work that DR..
Sledd very much enjoys. even though
he has SO little time for it.
Besides being president of South
ern University, with all the arduous
duties of the office. even to the extent
of filling nearly a full chair in the col
lege, DIR. Sledd is a member of the
general board of education of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, South,
writes for the Sunday school depart
ment of the church on the Interna-
tional Sunday school lessons and
much other writing for the religious
press and does many other separate
things
The audience has been large during
the meeting, but Sunday night was the
largest of the entire week. Great
crowds came from a number of the
surrounding towns. DR.. J. >. Frazer
presiding elder of the Mobile district,
and chairman of the board of trustees
of Southern University at Greensboro
accompanied by his wife. surprised
his many friends and admirers here
by dropping in last night at the clos
ing service of the meeting.
DIR. Sledd left Immediately after SER

after a few hours rest, he took an

SOUTHWESTERN REFLECTIONS.

Planting time lends emphasis to the
duty of preparation. When one goes
prepared for any duty he can &C
complish most. A wise old farmer
observed that the most valuable cult
Vation is that which the land gets be-
fore the seeds planted.
A Well.knoWn proverb expresses the
same idea in the old saw; "a good be,
ginning is half the battle" and 1t is
true.
Therefore start out by preparing
your land thoroughly. Pillow it deeply
and often, disc it we'll, put on all the
barn manure you can get and ploW it
under, add cotton seed meal, if neceS.
sary, to stimulate plant growth, and
acid phosphate to produce fruit.
Then you may think about planting.
Drainage, more thorough preparation
Of the soil before planting, more in.
telligent use of fertilizer, better crop
rotation, and more and better live
stock, constitutes the crying needs of
our agriculture today.
Are you in these things? If you are
not, and if you do not prepare to get in,
then sell off yonr farm and find some.
thing that you are willing to do in the
right way.
Don't forget to plant lespedeza
among your oats. You need it to re.
store the nitrogen which the oats draw
from the SOIL and Furthermore, the
crop OF hay or seed produced, unless
Tonr land is high'priced, will equal it in
