DONAGHEY CANDIDATE CD

Without anyone apparently know ing where it comes from, the rumor has begun to fly about that George w. Donaghey, twice governor of Ar kansas, defeated when he tried for the third term, will again seek the toga in the primary of 1916. Ever since he entered politics. Geo. w.

It is known that he had a warm place in his heart for a warm seat in the United States Senate and those who have spread the report that he will be a candidate for governor. declared that this would keep him in the limelight and put him in a position to step up when there is chance for a vacancy. Gov. Donaghey never denied a rumor about his political intentions, neith- CT will be confirm them, so the dear public must wait until time for an nouncements to learn about his poi- tical intentions.

A Wonder Duck With Great Record

The following facts about a remark able duck are taken from the current issue of Farm and Preside:
 "Word has just come to hand tell ing of a phenomenal egg-laying per formance of a Pennsylvania Runner duck owned by John Slade. Mir, Shade has made affidavit that this duck. Victoria, laid 35S eggs in 265 days, from October 6. 1913 to October |5, 1914.
 "'Victoria' began laying when five months and two days old. Her mo egg days were February 1st, 3rd, 5th and l4th; July Sth and 10th; and August Sth
 This, while an unofficial record, Is not beyond belief when we consider the extraordinary laying qualities of the Indian Runner duck. A previous unofficial record in Australia, the land of great laying performances, claims an average of 320 eggs from a pen of Runners in 365 days.

EDUCATION

If the old and young realize as they should, the value of an education; I am sure a greater effort would be put forth to educate the boys and girls
 So many boys and girls seem to never think of the fact that their sue cess in life depends upon the way they spend their days in youth, or as we might say, "The Springtime of Life". They seem to never think that without an effort on their part, they will never fill any high and ex- alted or honorable position. If they could only bear in mind that "as they SOW, so shall they reap" and also that Tn youth or the springtime of life" is when the sowing should be done; undoubtedly they would not be so careless and indolent.
 The boys and girls of today will be the men and women of tomorrow. And each one will fill some place in life. Some will be prominent and in- huential men and women, while some will be sorry, trihing, mean, and no account And you can blame no one else, for it will all be true, because of the seed you will have sown.
 The educated are the leaders and the uneducated are lead. Now. will you be a leader. or will you be lead One might answer, "I had rather be a leader. but I'll have to be lead, for l have no chance to go to school, hence can never have an education. Listen In this age of the world no one believes such an excuse. and you have only deceived yourself when you make such an eXcuse. In this age, the person who is pissed with health has no excuse for not obtaining an education.
 We have good schools and good teachers; but some boys and girls possess but very little, if any, STICK ABILITY. hence they derive but lit tie good from the schools.
 Getting an education is like all other things, there is a human and Divine part The Divine part is nev- CT lacking. though the human part is number of times.
 God has furnished you with a mind, and you are blessed with good schools. You see God has performed his part, only the human part is lacking. What will you do? Will you train and edu- cate the mind, thereby proving to God, and also to those around you, that you appreciate the blessings that have been bestowed up on you, and that you are trying to be benifcial to the world, or will you do nothing at all, stay out of school when possible, and study as little as possible, there by proving to the world that you have no high aspirations? Make up your mind what you will do, and then just suppose the whole world to do as you do, what kind of a country would this soon be?
