WOULD AID
FARMERS

Duncan, Okla, Oct 16.-Judge Rob
ert L. Williams closed a busy days
campaigning in a speech here Thurs
day night, which commenced at s
o'clock The Democratic candidate
showed in excellent form. and bore
down on present day events with
clearness- He emphasized the neces-
sity Of storage system for the tax
ing care OF cotton and other products
OF the farm under state supervision in
order that the farmer might be in an
attitude, not only to get reasonable
loans from the banks al low rate of
interest, but also to have direct finan-
cial assistance from the federal gov
ernment Judge Williams stated fur
ther that he is in favor of farm pro-
ducts whilst being held by the farmer
for the market, either on his farm or
in bonded warehouse, not being sub
ject to taxation.
He also dwelt on the financial de-
preston occasiOned on account OF the
European war and stated that his first
official act as governor would be to
insist that the legislature extend the
time for the payment of taxes for the
present fiscal year, as well as provid-
ing that no penalties should accrue
during such financial depression as
has been brought on by the war.
Judge Williams met all state issues
four square and again assured his aud
ience that in event Of his being chosen
as the governor of this state he would
not only meet the emergencies pre-
sented in the state. but would be an
untiring worker for the upholding Of
the great national policies OF President |
Wilson.
His speech was received with great |
applause, especially that portion of il
which delineated the measures he
would use to overcome the war defic-
iencies.

Hares in Battle.

THERE is a story to the effect that
at a certain stage OF the battle OF
Wagram. which took place in 1909, the
proceedings developed into great
hare hunt There We're 100000 hunters,
half French and half Austrian.
The plain was, it is said, covered with
hares. which the long advance of the
two armies had driven into a narrow
space. Frightened by the guns of the
French, they ran for their lives and
continued to run until they reached
the Austrian lines. There they We're
none the less terrified and came rush
ing back upon the French.
The soldiers were greatly interested
by the frantic movements of the hares.
and could be hardly restrained from
making after them.
There occurred a charge by the Aus
train cavalry, which, of course, took no
account of the hares. The horses
plunged in among them and they rush
ed in dismay among the ranks of the
French soldiers. who, confused by so
strange an attack, began bayonetting
the hares. Other soldiers not immedi-
ately pressed by the onset of the enemy
caught up the trembling animals in
their hands.
There was that day n great slaughter
of men and hareS, and many shot
destined for the enemy struck one of
these poor animals.
