To The Democratic Voters of the 9th Chancery District of Ar. kansas:


 9th Chancery District of Ar
 kansas:
 hereby announce my candi- dacy for Chancery Judge of this Circuit, subject to the Damocra- tic primary to be held March 29, 1916, to succeed James D. Sha- yer, the present incumbent.
 In doing so deem it proper to refer to myself. 1 was born in Little River County 43 years ago; I received my education in the schools of this State, and on ar irving to my majority l worked for several years in various capacities, and held by election the office of Circuit Clerk of Little River County. In the meantime 1 devoted my leisure time to the study of law. When retiring from office 1 became a farmer, which vocation l follow ed for several years until mis- fortune from overflow from Red river swept away all 1 had ac- quired. 1 then returned to my studies and the pratice of law. having previously been admitted to the bar, and have now been ac- lively engaged in that profession for the last ten years. in Texark- ana, Arkansas.
 My license to pratice extends to all the courts of this State, both State and Federal. l am one of seven sons of E. S. Sander son, who was one of the pioneers of this State. My family con- sists of wife and four chiIdnen.
 As to my general qualifications as a citizen and lawyer, I refer to all who know me, both laymen and lawyers, preachers, doctors and teachers. fl am lacking in the attainment to hold this high office with both credit to myself and satisfaction to litIgants. ask ing equity, 1 do not ask your vote, but if you believe me capable and otherwise qualified, 1 do solicit your support.
 Judge Shaver, the present in. cumbent, when his term expires will have held this office, by ap- pointment and election, for six teen years. l believe the public interest as well as the party in. trest requires occasional changes in this office. have looked for ward to the time when Judge Shaver would voluntarily aban- don his candidacy, but he seems to think he is holding by life ten- ure instead of by term of years.
 With my experience in the bus mess affairs Of life and dealing as 1 have with all kinds of litiga- tion in the general practice Of law for ten years, l feel like I can do equally as good, if not better, service to the public, and deal as fairly by the litigants, who have business before the court, as he has done. The Judge is not, nor does he claim to be, iniallible. Many of his Oppinlons are re- versedby the Supreme Court, as is the case of every trial judge.
 If he were inIaiiible. and at all times dealt equai and exact jus tice under tue law there might be some "~r~ fe~ the people to

Badgers Health Remarkable.

Medical officers of the Wisconsin
brigade express establishment at the
remarkable absence of serious disease
among the 1000 men in the brigade.
Since their departure from Camp
Douglas, there has not been a single
case of typhoid, diphtheria, scarlet
fever, mumps, smallpox or any other
disease. Except for few minor all
ments and a small number of acct
dents. none of which have been of a
serious nature, the health of the men
has been excellent.
Maj. Charles. Stoddard is pleased
with the observance of sanitary cOndi-
tions in the camp. Even the civilian
truck drivers who have been sent here
by the truck manufacturers remark
about the garden-like camp which the
Badgers created ON the same site oc-
cupied a week before by Illinois
troops.
They turned that old place into a
regular paradise" exclaimed several.

There seems to be a belief by the

RAILROADS YIELD
EIGHT-HOUR DAY
Subcommittee of Executives
Makes Report.
STRING ATTACHED TO OFFER
Companies Demand President Guar
antee Them against Losses Also
Ask Commission to Prevent
Revival of Controversy.

Washington, Aug 24.-The subcom-
mittee of the railway executives ap-
pointed as board of strategy to frame
a reply to President Wilson's demand
for concessions TO the men that will
prevent a general strike have made a
report.
1t is understood they have recon-
mended the granting of the eight-hour
day, but with a string tied to it.
The purpose of the string it is said,
is to make possible withdrawal of
the concession if the president does
not give satisfactory guarantees of
| much desired new legislation.
The announcement of the preIimln-
afy report of the committee of eight
members followed within a few hours
after cabinet meeting on Tuesday at
which President Wilson's attitude on
the controversy was given unanimous
approval by his Off, al family.
The subcommittee represents the GO
railroad presidents who answered the
presidents call to come to Washington.
It's members are closely affiliated with
many of the greatest financial institu-
lions in the country. The days pro-
ceedings, which were continuous for
ten hours, were frequently interrupted
by conferences over the lOng-distance
telephone.
The executives as a body of the,
whole received the report in secret sec
sion. The belligerent element, repre-
scented chiefly by she western railroads
are said to have recognized the futility
Of holding out against the president
much longer
1t was admitted the principal hope
now is TO commit the president and
the government to definite assurances
providing two things:
1. Legislation which will prevent a
recurrence of a similar occurrence be-
fore all the processes of a judicial in
yestigattOn have been exhausted.
,. A practical guaranty that the rail-
roads will be compensated for the
money loss they claim they will sus-
tain by granting an eight-hour day.
1t is understood the plan is to ask
the president to urge congress to ere
ute two commissions-one to investi-
gate future wage differences; the 9TH
er to make a special study of the pres
ent dispute and determine the amount
of the increased expense the new ar
raugement will cause.
On the report of Il commission such
as the last named, relief would be ex-
pected from the Interstate commerce
commission in permanently increased
freights.
The new report also suggests i..' an
alternative that the president agree to
release from an eight-hour agreement,
If such is reached, the railroads on
which 1t can be shown that the short
day arrangement is impractieable.
If the suggestions contained in the
tentative plan are approved by the ex-
ecutives, delegates viii be appointed
TO confer with the president and re-
port back in order that the compro-
mise proposed may be formally made.
President Wilson's proposal would
benefit only 100000 out of 100000
employed by the roads, and that those
not included would be certain to start
trouble.

Canning Outfit.

parts, making two bacteria where one
existed before. or else reproduces it,
self by means of spores.
Spores may be compared with the
seed of an ordinary plant These
spores present the chief difficulty in
canning the products Of the orchard
and garden.
All forms of bacteria are killed by
complete sterilization. This is moth
ing more than enclosing the products
to be sterilized in Jars or cans that
can be sealed alright, and submit
ting them TO heat of sufficient degree,
for time long enough, to destroy
the bacteria that cause the raw ma
terial to spoil.
Sterilization is readily accom-
plished by the use of boiling water,
and there are three different ways in
which this can be done. While the
parent bacteria can be killed at the
temperature of boiling water, their
spores retain their vitality for a long
time even at that temperature.
Smaller factories, and the different
home canning outfits usually make
use of the "0pen-kettle" process. Here
the cans are submerged in boiling wa
ter and kept at that temperature for
a time sufficient to destroy bacteria
and spores.
The third process, known as frac-
tional sterilization, is that of keeping
cans or jars in boiling water for a spe-
Gifted time upon each of two or three
consecutive days.
The process of boiling upon consecu-
tive days is the safest method, and is
much. to be preferred In home canning.
The first days boiling kills practically
all the bacteria, but does not kill all
all of the spores.
As soon as the jars or cans cool.
these spores develop, and new lot
of bacteria begin their destructive
work on the contents.
The second days boiling kills this
new lot of bacteria before they have
had time to produce spores.
Boiling the third day is not always
necessary, but it is advisable in order
to be sure that sterilization is com,
plete.
