Upon the urgent request Of num-
Der of responsible and reputable citi-
zens and taxpayers w. B. Ball has been
induced to aspire for the office Of JUS
tice of the peace of Blackfoot precinct,
a position he has filled so creditably
the past two years. In addition to
being prosperous, progressive farmer,
Judge Ball is citizen of unimpeacha
BILE character with an unsullied private
and official record. In the discharge
Of the duties of justice Of the peace he
has been fair and impartial, allowing
neither friend or foe to influence or in
timidate him in dispensing justice, alb
solutely to all without prejudice or
equivocation. The only opposition to
Judge Ball that we know Of comes from
certain defendant editor who, failing
to fix his case in his favor, resorted
to an abusive revenge, and now is try
ing to defeat him.
Judge Ball is the only experienced,
responsible aspirant for justice of the
peace. He is reputable citizen and
taxpayer, man Of good judgment and
possesses the courage of his convic-
tons. He is not the creature of any
pettifogging attorney or Fostering col
lection agency, but will righteously
protect the public from any and all
unjust and expensive legal entangle-
ments. Every citizen needs a justice
of this character for their own pro
lection and should look well to theii
ballot before placing sticker TO,
this precinct officer. If you do not
know Judge Ball, it behooves you tc
get acquainted with him or his rec
ord, and if you do we believe you vii
admit he is the best man for the of
flee.

ANOTHER TOKEN or DEMO,
CRATIC INETTTCIENCN"H

As the days go by the voting pop
ulation of oklahoma is becoming
more and more convinced of the i'm
efficiency of Democratic rule. I'm order
TO bring home to the few faithful sup
porters of the "principles Of Thomas
jefferson" it will not be necessary TO
discuss national issues. but simply to
point the finger 10 some of the many
and almost continual blundcrs of
Democratic rule within the confines
Of the state of oklahoma
As long as the Democratic party
served as a minority party its useful
ness was at its highest point Even
the most "hardshcll Republican, be-
Icved that civil government was best
served in having Nsiant minority.
The principle was that having a
toaring-down force always hanging
round the corner. the Republican
must build substantially should his
institutions expect to survive.
Since the structure has been turned
over to the house -wrecNng crew, the
people are now beginning to awaken
to the fact that the Democratic party
is not constructing one single thing,
save a political machine TO the secur-
ing of spoils over which various fac
tions may conduct personal warfare.
These southern Democrats possess
considerable talent in hiring cotton
pickers and negro servants, but
they are deplorably poor in selecting
the better class of labor Look this

rect.

Marketing Conditions.

Improved marketing of livestock and
meats has been sought by the depart
ment as a means of cheapening these
products. Already, the report says, ar
rangements have been made with fifty
eight stockyard companies to secure
monthly reports OF livestock receipts
and shipments. = uniform system of
marketing records has been stablshed
at the instance of the department by
number of yards. Methods and costs of
marketing liveStocks and meats were
investigated. a preliminary investiga-
tion of the sources, accuracy and use
Of market reports on livestock and
meats has been made. The results Of
this study have been utilized in de-
velopment of plans for the organiza-
tion of a demonstration market news
service for livestock similar TO that
now conducted for periShable crops.
Other efforts at better distribution
methods are described as follows:
surveys have been made of the mar
keting facilities for agricultural prod
Ccts in nine cities and advice has been
given regarding the location, establish
ment and management of municipal re-
tail and wholesale public markets. De-
tailed studies also have been made Of
conditions in other cities. Investiga-
tion concerning methods of handling
and grading perishable products and
the prac-icability of standardization Of
the products and their containers have
progressed rapidly.
1he issuance OF monthly cold-storag ge
seports On apples has been continued, and
the work has been extended 10 include
butter, eggs and cheese. These reports
show the cold-storage holdings through
out the country and include a compari-
son of the holdings of the current year
with those of the previous year. In CO.
operation with carriers, extensive investi-
cations of the economic waste of food
etufs in transit have been conducted.
The object OF thes- inyesti cations Is to
secure better cooperation between ship

Secretary Houston in His An
nuaI Report Recommends
Increased Production.
MARKET CONDITIONS NOTED

Increased production and better dis
tribution of the country's foods are
recommended by Secretary Houston of
the Department of Agriculture as
means of reducing the cost of living, in
his annual report made public today
Congress is urged to strengthen the
pure food law SO as to permit the
Standardization of foods and drugs.
Records of the department. the re-
port sets forth. show that except for
meat and dairy products the per capita
production of the leading food COM
modities in the United States has re-
mained about the same despite the
RAPID growth of population. statistics
presented cover a period of sixteen
years. The population has increased in
that time 80 per cent. There is ground
for optimism, the report says. as TO the
ability of the nation not only to sup
ply itself with food. but increasingly
to meet the needs of the world.
One Principal Aim.
One of the principal aims of the de-
partment has been to increase meat
production. The report shows steady
growth since 1919 in the output OF beef
and an advance in the number OF SWINE
every wear since 1899. More extensive
sheep raising is recommended as d
source OF food II is pointed out that
only one farm in seven in the Gnitei
States now supports sheep. FIFTY MIL
lion sheep, it is said could be added 10
the country Hocks.
Stabilizing of production is recon- =
mended as one of the greatest aSriCul-
tural needs III producing food crops
sufficient to meet demands. This can
be accomplished best, the report points
out through better adapted or iIG :
proved crop varieties, more systematic
and rational crop rotation and improved
agricultural practice generally III
many parts of the country more atten-
ton to livestock production is eSsentlai l
to enduring and economical agrlcui-
ture, the report declares
II is highly desirable, it is pointed
out that areas for production Of staple
crops be broadened as far as eXperl-
ence and sound economies may war
rant In this respect the report dWeilS

diseases and insect pests.
Marketing of farm products, rural
finances and rural organization, the re

from the department in the last three
years. A four-year program, developed
in 1913. has been in a large measure
carried out.

Little New Year.
BY KATHERINE FAITH.

The old. old Year goes out at the door.
But the little New Year comes in;
And to take the place of the sQuan-
dered days
There's a Year just about to begin
He's a dear little chap, Is the small
New Year,
And deep in his eyes Of blue
Is the promise Of all the joy that life
Is holding in store for you.
Health's shining there-if you'll cross
your heart
To live with wise discretion
And then follows Sleep. and then fol-
lows Play,
And Love joins the dim procession.
And trailing behind are the ghosts Of
the years
That wait on the Grown-Up Shore,
And haunt all the paths of Aftera-
While
That lead to the Futures door.
The New Year stands on his tippy-toes
And puts in your two brown hands
The reins of his steeds, l CAN and
| WILL
To drive through the deep life sands.
And hard he stares with his wistful
eyes,
Wondering if you'll get through
And hoping that all of the dreams he's
dreamed
Will have the good taste to come
true.
