|. B. Yeager Asks Reelection
As Tax Assessor,

The Sentinel is authorized to place
the name of Mr.. l.. B. Yeager before
the voters of Grenada county as a can
didate for reelection to the office of tax
assessor. Mr.: Yeager bases his claim
for another term upon faithful, ef-
ficient and honest discharge of duty.
facts about which there would seem to
be no controversy. AS with almost all
other things, the d tiles of the assessors 5
Office grow more complex and more ex-
acting year by year. Mr.. Yeager has
been accurate, careful and diligent in
the pursuit of his official duties and has
been the recipient of many very flatter-
ing compliments as to the thoroughness
OF his work. He states that he has
enumerated more school children than
any of his predecessors and that there
by the schools of the county have drawn
more from the state treasury than ever
before.
Mr.. Yeager is too we'll known to
ileeu any EXTENDED nOtlce through lne
columns of The Sentinel but suffice it
to say that he has always led the life of
the quiet citizen, of the orderly man
and it has ever been understood that
he was in sympathy with those things
for which the best thought of the coun-
try contended. If reelected, it would
be but natural to expect that his past
training and experience would enable
him to make better officer than be-
fore. He has an abiding faith in the
judgment of the people and states that
whatever the verdict of the primaries,
he will ever be grateful to the people
of the county

J. f. Carpenter for Supervisor Beat z

In the proper column of The Sentinel
of this week will be seen the name of
Mr.. J. f. Carpenter who is candidate
for supervisor in district 2. Mr.. Car
penter stands well not only in his own
community but is held in high esteem
throughout the county by all who know
him. He is comparatively young man
and is credited with that breadth Of
spirit and that enterprise which build
up communities and that make for per-
manency in society. He has been dill
gent and successful in his own business
and it is fair to assume that he would
endeavor to apply the methods by which
he has succeeded to the countys affairs.
He has requested The Sentinel to state
that he thinks that the time has arrv-
ed for placing the county's affairs on a
strictly business basis and that there
should be retrenchment and economy
in expenditures. Among other things
he thinks that the officers of the court
house should do their own sweeping and
office cleaning and that he is opposed
to paying a janitor out of the county
treasury except for the periods neces-
sary for the circuit and chancery courts
of the county. Mr.. Carpenter also
states that he is of the opinion that the
roads should be let out in contracts of
from three to ten miles. He will un-
questionably see the people of his dis
trict and discuss matters with them
more at length.

DEADLOCK REACHED IN
DYESTUFF NEGOTIATION
Germany Declines to Release Colors
Unless United States Guarantees
to Deliver Cotton.

Efforts of the United States govern
ment to secure dyestuffs from Germany
for American manufacturers have
reached a deadlock which appears un-
breakable. and officials here today ey-
pressed little hope OF an arrangement;
being made which would give this
country supply of German made col
ors.
State Department officials will con-
tinue their negotiations. but 1t is prac-
tically certain that Germany will not
permit the expectation OF dyestuffs un-
less some arrangement is made which
will give Germany a much needed sup
ply of American cotton. The German
government is understood to have
taken the position that unless Amert-
can cotton reached German ports no
dvestufs will be released for export
While the State Department continues
its efforts to secure the material the
bureau of foreign and domestic COM
merce in the Department of Commerce
has instructed Erwin w. Thompson,
commercial attache at Berlin. to report
on the dyestuff situation. The request
for a report says nothing as to pos
sible shipments of dyestuffs during the
war. but asks simply for an estimate
of the stocks of colors now on hand in
Germany, the amount available for ex-
port Immediately If war should cease
manufa cturers as to prices.
The commercial attache has been un =
able to work effectively in Berlin. and
is at present at The Hague. It is prob
able he will gather his data on the
dyestuff situation from that point.

Grumpy Finds a New Nest.
Copyright. 1915, by J. G. Lloyd3

I You remember that when Grumpy
Possum could find nothing but china
eggs in the nests in Farmer Browns
henhouse he curled himself up in one
OF the nests and tried to go to sleep.
There was nothing else to do. But he
was long time getting to sleep. You
see, he was hungry, and more than
this, he was terribly disappointed. He
had counted on all the fresh eggs he
could eat. Instead he had only sore
teeth from trying to bite hole In
those china eggs He couldn't under
stand them at all.
Quite early in the morning the hens
began to wake up. BY and by he heard
steps outside and the little door by
which the biddies went in and out of
the house was opened. He heard the
voice of Farmer Browns boy calling.
and all the hens, with that dreadful
rooster in the lead. ran out as fast as
get their breakfast. The very thought
made Grumpy more hungry than ever.
But there was nothing to do but keep
still and he did it.
BY and by hen came in and flew
up to one of the nests, where she set
tied down comfortably. Then another
and another did the same thing. One
flew up to the very nest in which he
was curled up, but saw him, and with
frightened squawk flew down again.
and in very excited way began to
tell everybody what she had seen. But
nobody paid any attention to her. and
soon she tried another nest and settled
down quietly. Grumpy didn't under
stand it. He began to think that hens
were the LATEST creatures he ever had
met. Here they had slept all night
and now they were settling down in the
nests as if they meant to spend the
remainder of the day there.
He was still thinking about it when
he was startled almost out of his wits.
The first hen to fly up to nest had
suddenly come forth again making a
great racket. Cut cut -cuta-c she
repeated over and over at the top of
her voice.
After little she. very proudly
marched out into the yard. A little
while later another did the same thing.
Grumpy remembered the racket the
hen had made the first day he had
entered the house and. what he had

found. A trifie timidly he crept out
and ran along to the nest which one of
the hens had just left. In it was one
of those hateful white china eggs, but
side of 1t was a brown egg, and 1t
was warm. 1t was very clear to him
that those hens had something to do
with the eggs he liked so well. He ate
this brown egg and then went to an
other nest which a hen had just left
making a great fuss. There was an
other newly laid egg
When he had eaten all his stomach
would hold he crept back 20 his hiding
place under the floor. You see, he was
afraid that Farmer Browns boy might
visit the henhouse as he had the day
before. so he thought it best to keep
out of sight. Sure enough. Farmer
Browns boy did come later that day.
He heard his footsteps on the floor
over his head. And he heard him NUT
tering. Though Grumpy didn't know
1t. Farmer Browns boy had discovered
those empty egg shells Grumpy's 5

They had fine celebration at their
house, 924 Sth street northwest. II

dancing, refreshments and all that sort
of thing. But along toward o'clock
this morning certain of the neighbors
began to wonder il anybody in the vi
cinity would have a chance to sleep.
The result was a smallsized raid by
the police and the arrest of the two
men named. About fifty other men and
women-merely suests-were not TAX
en- into custody. The party ended righ,
there. however The case was contin-
ued today in Police Court. where it was
explained that similar festivities had

soat William J. Bryan wrote a letter

there who are under charges and
threatened with dismissal let hint of

TO the democratic nominee next year.
Predicts Presidents Reelection.
president Wilson will be renominat-
ed and reelected he said. The re-
publicans have no man to match MIN
and l expect him to have an easy re-
turn to the White House. L do not
expect any opposition to him within
his own party and 1 know no man the
republicans can bring out who would
be big enough, in the opinion of the
country, to cope with him as candl-
date.
How ABOUT the talh thdt WI Ii Oil
will oppose Mr.. Wilson on the one
term PLATFORM
II believe Mr.. Bryan will warmly
support the President for reelection.
and l am sure he is being misrepre-
sented as to his views on the one-term
plank, for l happen to know that after
the platform was adopted and while
the one-term constitutional amend
ment was pending before the judiciary
committee of the House, the SEN
ate having passed 1t unanimously.
Mr.. Bryan wrote a letter to the COM
mittee which will forever preclude him
from attempting to either embarrass or
oppose Mr.. Wilson on that ground. In
Justice to Mr.. Bryan and to all parties
concerned l may give the details of the
letter to the public later on"
Views Sought by Committee.
1t has long been understood that
when Mr.. Bryan's views were sought
by the committee he wrote a letter
standing by his views as to one term.
but proposing that the proposed con-
stitutional amendment should not ap-
ply to Col. Roosevelt. Mr.. Taft or
President Wilson.
Mr. Carlin did not wish to go into de-
tails about this, but it is positively
known that Mr.. Bryan wished to have
Mr.. Wilson eliminated from restriction
as to another term. This position was
taken by Mr. Bryan after the Senate
had unanimously passed the bill.
Mr.. Carlin asserted that the issues OF
the next campaign would probably be
the foreign policy of the administra-
ton and not the tariff. "On these is
sues Mr.. Wilson will win without
trouble" said the virginian. The tar
