Democratic Primary

Pursuant to the call of the chair
man and secretary of the county
central committee the democrats
of Jefferson township met at the
city hall last Saturday afternoon
and elected delegates to the county
convention held at Linneus Tues
day afternoon. J. Paul Jones was
chairman and Geo. Calhoun secre-
tary of the township meeting. The
following delegates were elected to
Linneus: J. W. Power, Geo. Cal
houn, Judge O. F. Libby and Geo.
G. Denbo. The call for the county
meeting and the apportionment of
delegates were made by the county
chairman without consulting the
members of the committee, at least
the committeeman from this town
ship, and according to the call this
township was accorded but one
delegate. This was something un-
usual and the Jefferson township
democrats didn't propose to be sat
on in any such fashion and pro-
ceeded to elect four delegates to
the county convention and in
structed to cast the vote the town
ship was entitled to,

Worry Causes Death

Some few months ago Dan Clark
highly respected and we'll to do
citizen of Linneus, owning a fine
farm between Linneus and Purdin,
fell into the hands of some land
sharks. They succeeded in selling
him large track of Texas land at
5000 per acre, so it was reported.
He became dissatisfied over the
deal and worried great deal about
it. Three weeks ago he went to
Texas on business connected with
the land and some time later he
was found in St. Joseph in a
demented condition. He was taken
to the hospital where he rapidly
grew worse until Monday, when he
passed away. He was 46 years of
age and leaves a widow and three
children.

Formal announcement of the
candidacy of Chas. K. Hart for the

in this county Mr.. Hart has
demonstrated his ability as a

His private life is above reproach

to pay their tonsorial bills. In many
cases 1t is done unintentionally.

His business for the evening included
lodge meeting, and, most important
of all, catching a train for his home.

INSIST ON FREQUENT CHANGE
Winter Asserts Women Are to Blame
for the Variations of Styles
In Clothes.

Women want ohething new to wear
every few months. The absolute
truth of this statement is what puts
the world VT women against reformers.
1t is easy to read and write reams of
theories as to why women should not
indulge in the caprice of new
clothes and, with delightful ingenious
ness, these dress reformers put the
blame on the style-makers and shops,
ignoring the fundamental truth that
the blame should be placed on the
women.
Those who are sincere and those
who are insince>e but want to be
heard crying aloud in the market
places, do not go far enough into the
clothes question when pleading for
dress reform.
What normal woman would want to
be robbed of her privilege of seeing
new clothes and buying them when
minded woman would want to go
through life wearing the same gown,
cut on the same lines and preserved,
or copied, from season to season?
Mary Garden, the opera singer, an
swered this whole question once in an
interview on the deck of q steamer,
when she was sailing for Paris. 1t
was at the height of the great hubbub
concerning the question of American
clothes only.

SOMETHING FLY COULDN'T DO
Robbie Was Able to Point Out Its
Limitations When Called Upon
to Admire Insect

In the opinion of some persons, the
new teacher was going almost too far
In her attention to nature study. How
ever, the children appeared to enjoy
1t all, and, so far no parents had made
open objection to the little talks on
birds, insects and flowers with which
the teacher diversified the routine of
school work. SO all went along quite
comfortably until the afternoon when
the fly and the flea were up for con-
siderntion.
Following the teachers lead, the
children had all grown enthusiastic
over the astonishing acrobatic abilities
of the fly-all except Robbie May, who
for some time had been staring mood
lily at his desk, casting only occasional
glances at the teacher, and those I'M

1t became so noticeable by the time
they were all admiring the fact that
the fly can walk on the ceiling, that

boy.
