his place. He was breaking sod with
five horses on sulky breaker when
the pillow hit rock and threw him
from the seat. The horses became
frightened and ran away, finally
landing in water hole in snarl

leased one horse was drowned.
At the home of the brides parents,

20, 1916, at II o'clock in the forenoon,
occurred the marriage of Miss Pet

Rev. O. c. Olson officiating. Only
relatives and few near friends of the
contracting parties were in the parlor
of the MAIDEN home to witnesses the

lives of this well known young couple.
At the conclusion Of the ceremony the
newlyweds received the blessings and
congratulations Of those present and
then all were conducted to the spa

Mrs. Johones is an inyetcrate shop

to the local Diapers and, after turn.

solemnly bought reel of cotton, and
asked them to send it home.

the lady's visit. "But we'll get even
with her"
That afternoon a large wagon
drew up at the gate of Mrs. Johoncs'
pretentious villa. On the vehicle sat
three burly laborcrs, strcnuously
holding on to something in the
middle of the dray.
With many 'sWhoas.." and sundry
other shouts, the drav backed On tc
the pavement, the laborcrs struggled
and gasped and groancd, and hauled
down to the road levcl-the reel OF
cotton!
This was solcmnly rolled up the
garden path. and appended on the
doorstep. Then the men gravely re.
sumed their places on the wagon
which drove away.

1t is likely that one branch of the
state government of North Dakota
will not be controlled by Townlcy and
his bunch of socialist sidc-partncrs
1t appears that the senate will not be
thus controlled. Reports show that
the n. p. organization has not secured
more than three -fourths of their men
If as many as that. AS but half of
the senate is elected each year, it can
be seen that the n P's will have hard
work to get anything near a majority
of that body. Possibly some Of the
league pets will find themselves up
against it landing appontivc jobs if
Frazer wins, because the senate must
confirm them

of county printing. Mr.. Fogle has
never been asked by this office for a

And now, just as the women

short skirts on the ground that
they're artistic, convenient, CON-
Portable, healthful and moral, We
learn from trustworthy sources
that skirts are going to be long
again Most of them, it appears,
are to be brought down within six
inches of the ground. The ex-
treme styles for house aud even
ing wear will actually drag, in the
good old way, brushing up and
sweep floors of walks that haven't
been otherwise properly swept.
Why this about-face? Good
ness knows. Certainly men can't
get glimmering of a solution for
the mystery.
Some vague, unknown power
called Fashion" has issued It's
omnipotent and inscrutable decree,
and that settles it. Skirts will be
longer. And then the wo.
men will be defending them. jus,

DAIRY CATTLE AT

AS the time for the opening Of the
1916 Louisiana State Fair approaches,
interest in the dairy cattle section
steadily increases and indications
point to a record-breaking dairy show.
For these breeds of cattle exhibited,
premiums amounting to $1,000 are Of

For the past several years the cattle
industry has gone forward with great
strides in Louisiana, and the dairy
business has enjoyed corresponding
Improvement Much of the stimulation
for this progress has been created by
exhibits and demonstrations at the
State Fair, at which there are lee
lures by experts and sales Of fine
blooded cattle for circulation on the
farms of the state. thereby improving
the general stock situation. Results
of this development will be reflected
in the dairy cattle display this year,

THE RIGHT ROAD.

The.right road is long road.
Aud at times it may be rough;
But don't leave it for the wrong road
That is paved with sham and bluff.
And don't mistake the smiling
OF the men who travel there;
Or the gold that they are piling.
As sign that all is fair.
For beneath the jewels shining
And the pleasures they possess,
And behind their hours of winning,
There il fearful loneliness.
Though the road that they are taking
Seems a splendid theroughfare.
Hearts for honest joys are aching.
And the lives they live are bare.
There are rough spots in the right rOa(
There are dangers grim to face;
And it's often not bright road.
But it's free from the disgrace.
And it's lined with friends to love you,
And its JOYS are of the best.
Aud when Of RS come out above you.
With a conscience clear you rest.

p One Cent Letter Rate.

Efficiency in the post Office de-
partment with a proper readjust-
ment of rates will permit the gov
eminent to inaugurate a one cent
letter rate within the next year,
according to Postmaster General
Albert S. Burleson.
This emphatic statement made
by the postmaster general before
the National Association of Post
masters of the United States at
their July 1916 Convention, indi-
Gates that this important reform is
much nearer realization that most
people believe and that next win
ter will see radical steps taken
toward this end.
In addressing the postmasters
General Burleson declared that
they are giving the best postal SER
vice in the world today, and that is
what the American farmer and
business man are entitled to, fol
they pay for it. He advised the
postmasters to spare no expense
that means greater efficiency.

ALL STOCK NEED
GREATEST CARE
INDUSTRY WORTH MILLIONS
SHOULD HAVE HELP OF
VETERINARIANS.

The aggregate Of our live stock in
terests is not generally appreciated for
the animals now owned on Georgia
farms are easily worth 100000, 900.
In 1910 the state vas credited in the
federal census with owning about $751;
100000 worth of live stock Within a
period OF six years, therefore, there
has been an increase in the value of
live stock Of approximately $22, 000, 600.
and this in the face of the fact that
the shipment Of a very considerable
number of mules to Europe on ac-
count Of the war conditions prevailing
there has tended 10 reduce not only
the number hut the value of our ami
mails as well. At the present time
there are only about fifty licensed vet
erinarians practicing in the state Of
Georgia. Most Of these live in towns
and cities, and there are many farmers
in the state who are more than one
hundred miles from a competent vet
erinarian; and even if they could Sc
cure his services in time, il would be
at an almost prChibitile cost. 1t may
thus be said with propriety that farm
ers living out in the open country
would find il extremely difficult to Sc
cure the aid Of a competent veterina-
rian, and that this condition is not
likely 10 be Tcmclied until provision is
made for the training of a very consid-
cradle number Of men in the underly-.
ing principles OF veterinary medicine.
That some provision for instruction
of this character should be made is
evidenced by the very considerable
number of applications received from
young men who desire to study veter-
mary medicine. In view of this fact,
the trustees of the Georgia State Col
lege of Agriculture have endeavored
to meet the situation by authorizing
the establishment of the first two
years of degree course in veterinary
medicine. This will be open to any
young man in Georgia seventeen years
of age and who is able to present four
teen units for entrance. 1t is the earn
est hope OF the trustees that at the
end of two years through the aid of
the state they may be able to add
the Junior work of training Veterina-
rians within the state who are &C
quainted with local conditions, in sym
patty with the people living in the
open country, and who naturally be-

WILSON LAUNCHES HIS
RACE FOR REELECTION
President Writes Ohio Officials He Has
No Objection to Use of His
Name in Primary.

President Wilson yesterday formally
launched his candidacy for reelection.
This was done in the publication at the
White House of a letter written by the
President to Secretary OF State Hide
brant of Ohio authorizing the placing
of his name on the Democratic primary
ballot in Ohio.
The President said he was unwilling
to enter into a contest for the nomina
ton, but that he would not oppose the
use OF his name as a candidate in order
that the Democratic voters might signi-
fy their preference. Administration lead
ers declare that the President was mere
ly following up the policy he laid down
In his letter to former Representative
Palmer, OF Pennsylvania, written short
ly after the national election of 1912, in
which he said he thought it the duty Of
the President to submit his administrat ton
to the people for their approval or disap-
prOval.
Former authorization from the President
for the use of his name on the primay y
ballot In Ohio was required by the pri-
mary statute of that State. Actual ballot
ing Is for delegates to the national con-
vention, but candidate for delegate to the
convention are required to file a state
ment of their first and second choices
on or before February % and no candi-
date can name for either choice a man
who has not sanctioned the use of his
name.
