T. o. Hart for Sheriff.

The name of T. o. Hart is pre-
sented to our readers this week
as candidate for sheriff, subject
to the approval of the Democrats
of Grant parish in the approach
ing primary election. Mr.. Hart
needs no introduction to the vo-
ters of Grant, having served for
the past four years in the legis-
iature, and refers to his record
for his course in public matters,
which he outlines to US as follows:
He especially takes pride in the
fight made for the old settlers in
securing the passage of a bill in
Congress by Mr.. Aswell for their
relief. Other matters which he
favored were the twice-a-month
pay day, the standard log scale,
the chattel mortgage law, and
the employers liability act. He
also introduced a tax amendment
that would if it had passed have
lessened taxation on the poor and
increased it on the rich specula-
tors, his position being that it
was wrong to tax the necessities
of life for the poor.
Mr.. Hart came to Grant from
Clark county, Ark, fourteen
years ago, and for twelve years
in the lumber business.
For the past two years he has
been farming. He promises if
elected to give good service. and
to give the humblest citizen the
same consideration as the great
est, and that no special favors
will be shown corporations. In
he matter of deputies he will
lot appoint nonresident, and
Ill deputies will be appointed
With due consideration of the
people they are to serve.

plants after they have been set out two
or three weeks and plow it in. Re-
member that if the potatoes are very
large it takes longer to dry. The trade
generally wants smaller potatoes.
These can be made by setting slips
close together, say IL inches apart or
even closer. This will regulate the size
of the growth.
Set out slips early to get good yield
as early as possible after frost is over.
They can be set out in April, but May
is the best month to get the best yield.
They can be set as late as July, but the
yield is much smaller. The potatoes
are not full grown.
If we wish the best market and best
price We must cultivate the northern
market, where they cannot raise sweet
potatoes. They sell best in the north
put up in crates. We must get in touch
with purchasing agents from the north
and put up packages for shipment as
they desire.
We find the Early Triumphs the ear
lest, most prolific and the best keeper,
the finest grain and the best all-round
sweet potato.-J. w. Beeson, in Texas

been specially told before hand
by its teacher. Don't answer

your answer is correct" says
The Chicago Journal.
The subject was history.
"Who," asked the inspector,
was the mother of the greatest
Scottish hero and King, Robert
Bruce
He pointed to the boy in front
of him and then round the class.
There was no answer. Then at
last, the heart of the teacher
leaped with JOY. The boy who
was standing at the very foot
indicated that he knew.
"Well, my boy" continued
the inspector, who was he?"

Austria Must Disavow Sinking
of the Ancona

Washington, Dec. s.. The
United States has sent to Austria
hungary a note asking for a dis
avowal of the submarine attack
upon tue Italian liner Ancona,
assurances that such an act will
not repeated, some degree of
punishment for the commander
of the submarine, and reparation
for American lives lost.
The communication started bv
cable yesterday from the state
department to Ambassador Fred
erick G. Pentied at Vienna, who
was instructed to hand it TO the
o-Hungarian minister of
foreign affairs, Baron Burian.
Word of delivery of the note
had not been received by the
department tonight.
Friendly but firm terms, ii is
said, characterized the document
which is understood to make 4
point of prompt assurances for
the future safety of American
lives. Austria Hungary has never
informed the United States
whether the commanders of its.
submarines had heen given in,
stuctions similar 10 those which
the German government gave to
lis commanders after the Lusit-
ania tragedy.
1t is understood that the note
referred particularly to the charge
that shells from he submarine
killed or wounded some pass

had halted, and asAed for an ex-
planation of that p&int.

None Ready to Discuss Peace

i
controlled hatred of Germany
and the belief that Germany is
approaching a collapse continue
to be the dominant idea of the
enemy countries, it would be
7 folly for Germany to take the
initiative in proposing terms of
peace. Germany, however, is
ready at any time to consider a
peace suggestion from the coun.
tries with which she is at war;
does not wish a continuation OF
the war; and associates herself,
under these circumstances, from
any responsibility for its pro-
longation.
Ibis is the substance of the
German imperial chancellor's
reply in the reichstag today to
the Socialist Interpolation on
peace, IN which he painted a
picture of Germany triumphant
on all sides and supplied with
everything, even if not in aaund
ance, necessary to the continu-
atlon of the war.
The Interpolation was intro.
duced by DIR. Scheidemann in
the following terms:
rs the imperial chancellor
ready to give information as to
the conditions under which he
would be willing TO enter into
peace negotiations"
London, Dec. e.-The speech
IN the reichstag of the imperial
chancellor, DR.. Won Bethmann-
Hollweg, reviewing the military,
political and economic progress
OF events, and his reply to a
Socialist Interpolation declining
to initiate peace negotiations.
were the feature of the DAYS
news . throughout Europe.
Following closely Pres&
to a questi .ie house 81
commons Hip Snowden|
Socialist, the chancellor's speech
has completely dashed any
hopes the peace advocates may
have held on any early termin-
alton of the war. 1t caused no
surprise, however, to the great
bulk of the people here, who,
like the governments, believe
in the ultimate victory of the
entente allies and express the
determination to continue to
fight until victory is attained.
AS tar as the entente allied
countries are concerned, SEEM
ingly the only change desired is
one which would insure a more
vigorous prosecution of the war
but this, like peace, will have TO
wait events, for the whole CAM
paign is entering a new phase.
