TREASTISE ON RYE

Washington Oct. 3.-The tendency
in the last few years toward the
spread of rye culture in the United
States had led the Department of Agri-
culture to issue treatise on the sub
iect which has just been PUBLISHED and
is being distributed to farmers asking
for it, The United States last year
produced ist record crop of rye, har-
yesting 100000 bushels. American
production is only three per cent of
the worlds production. The Depart
ment experts point out that there are
many excellent reasons for growing
rye on the farm even though in most
localities it is less profitable as a
grain crop that wheat. Rye is hard
der and can therefore be grown as a
winter grain in cold, exposed places.

81 ANURICl"
THE NEWEST
DISCOVERY IN CHEMISTRY

This is a recent discovery of Doctor
Pierce, who is head of the Invalids'
Hotel and Surgical Institute at Buffalo,
N. Y. Experiments at Doctor Pierce's
Hospital for several years proved that
there is no other eliminator of uric acid
that can be compared to it. For those
easily recognized symptoms of infam-
nation - as backache, scalding urine
and frequent urination, as well as sedi-
ment in the urine, or if uric acid in the
blood has caused rheumatism, it is
simply wonderful how surely cAnuricn
acts. The best of results are always
obtained in cases of acute rheumatism
in the joints, in gravel and govt, and
invariably the pains and stiffness which
30 frequently and persistently accom-
pany the disease rapidly disappear.
Go to your nearest drug store and
simply ask for q 50-cent package of
"Anuric," manufactured by DIR. Pierce,
or even write Doctor Pierce for free
sample. Ii you suspect kidney or blad-
der trouble, send him sample of your
water and describe symptoms. Doctor
Pierce's chemist will examine it, then
DIR. Pierce will report to you, without
fee or charge.
NOTE: - French scientists affirm that
1Anuric" is thirty seven times more
active than lithia in eliminating uric
acid, and is harmless but reliable
chemical compound that may be safely
given to children, but should be used
only by grown-ups who actually wish to
restore their kidneys to perfect health,
by conscientiously using one box or
more in extreme cases AS "Anuric"
(thanks to Doctor Pierce's achievement)
is by far the most perfect kidney and
bladder corrector obtainable.

OLDFIELD ANSWERS
CAMPBELL'S ATTACK
Popular Congressman Defends Record
and Asks Voters to Carefully
Consider the Facts
Editor Newark Journal

Editor Newark Journal
Newark, Arkansas.
Dear Sir:
A friend f mine suppliedme
with clippings from several
papers of the district con-
tanning what purports to be
a letter of the Hon. Tom w.
Campbell, Ct date January 81,
1916, addressed to me. No such
letter was written to me by Mr..
Campbell, and no such letter
was received by me, nor was |
expected to receive this letter.
1t is a campaign document is
sued by Mr.. Campbell with the
sole purpose in view of mis-
leading the voters of the End
Congressional District. In the
pretended letter are many state
ments of what Mr.. Campbell
says he will charge with refer
ence to my record, some of
them too trivial to command
attention, and others couched
in language so unbecoming that
no reply can be made to them
in the vein that prompted him
to write.
With reference to the state
ment that it is costing too much
to keep me IN Congress, | wish
to say that | am drawing the
salary and mileage fixed bylaw.
The law fixing both the salary
and the mileage was passed be-
fore | became a member of
Congress, and therefore | am
not responsible for either. |
take it for granted that if Mr..
Campbell were a member of
Congress, he would expect to
be paid the anne salary as that
paid to the other members,
however little he might in JUS
tice be entitled to receive. By
innuendo Mr.. Campbell says |
have been in Congress long
enough. OF course no thought
full person will give serious con-
sideration to this criticism
which is made for the purpose
of getting votes only. Every
person knows that my prede-
cessor, Mr.. Brundidge, repre-
sented our District in Congress
for twelve year, while I have
been in Congress only seven
years.
1t has been the custom not
only in Arkansas but in every
state in the Union for the peo-
pie to keep their Representa-
tives in Co lgress all the way
from ten to twenty years and

mileage. | kive always done so ,
my vote reflects that fact, ana
ne sough- merely to mislead
and misrepresent me in his
statement in his so-cai,ed open
letter.
Mr.. Cam )bell says these are
grave charges, meaning those
he has ma IL against me. | con
Tess it, and had they been made
by a man who had any regard
for the truth, and one who had
the real interest of the people
at heart, and not by a profess
Isional office seeker, who wants
an office regardless of the
methods by which he might OBJ
tain it, | should have expected
somebody to believe them.
His statement that he wants
to make fifty or sixty speeches
at least half of them off the
railroad, and that he desires nv
presence on this occasion, he
we'll knows was made whenth
opportunity would be denied
me to join in the campaign. It
is strange. however, that he
SHOULD complain that he is per-
mitted to go over the district
and reiterate statements that
are obviously not supported by
facts. He certainly has been
accorded every opportunity
that an aspiring office seeker
might desire that is, if the peo-
Iple will go out to hear him, and
| therefore, [ take it that I am
not subject 70 criticism, because
| rely upon the fairness and
common sense of the people
not to be misled by his charges
and prefer to remain at my
post of duty and discharge the
| functions of the office to which
the people through their par
TALLY have elected me.
In connection with his desire
to be heard at points remote
from the railroad, and there
fore, to discuss good roads with
the people who feel the neces-
sity for roads, | wish to say
that roads are not built by pub
| lie discussions, nor delcamatons
delivered by candidates for of
flee. | have supported in Con-
gress, where my vote would
count in legislation of that kind,
every measure looking to the
establishment and maintenance
of good roads, supported
by appropriations out of
the federal treasury. We pass
ed through the House in the
Sixty-third Congress a measure
granting twenty-five millions
of dollars to aid in the building
and maintaining of purely
country roads, the kind of a
road that farmers need and
use. This bill failed in the SEN
ate, but through no fault of
mine. | have aided in the pas
sage of a bill through the pre-
sent Congress calling for a like
appropriation, with a provision
