LAST CALL FOR
 WILSON DOLLARS ELECTION DRAWING NEAR The Log Cabin Democrat Appeals to Democrats to Round Out
 $2OO Fund Here.
Wilson Campaign Fund.

Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their party"
 This line, familiar to everyone who has ever practiced writing on type writer, has timely significance just now. Against overwhelming fnan- cial odds, the Democratic party is battling in every debatable state for the reelection of President Wilson The plain people are with the forces of the Democracy, but the vast re- sources of the moneyed powers are being employed to accomplish their defeat
 Funds are needed, badly needed, to pay the expenses of speakers and lit erature and make such an aggres- slve campaign as is necessary flo, success. These funds must be SUD- piled at once, or they will be useless. The election is only four weeks dis tant. Whatever is to be done, must be done immediately.
 The Log Cabin Democrat hoped that the campaign fund started by it would reach at least $2OO. Up to September 30, $127 had been receiv- ed. Of this amount $111.5O was sent to the national headquarters We expected sufficient contributions to make up the $200 by this time, but not dollar has been received in 10 days.
 The list will be held open until Saturday, October IA, at which time all funds received will be wired to the national headquarters and the list closed
 Isn't it worth a dollar or five dol lars to you to have the greatest Democratic president since Jefferson reelected? Isn't it worth that much for you to feel assured that the United States will be kept out of war another four years? That the greatest prosperity the south has ever known will be continued, instead of being shifted back east by pro- tective tariff
 Hand in or send your contribution to this great cause. Do it now!
 Since the above was written J. J. Lowery, staunch Democrat of liar din township, called at the Log Cabin Democrat office and handed in dollar for the Wilson campaign fund. "I wish l could give $5," Mr. Lowery said, land l would cheerfully do so if l could afford it." The Log Cabin Democrat would be pleased to have more of its rural readers con- tribute to this cause. So far only two Democrats residing outside of the city have made a donation.

DROUTH STILL PREVAILS.

Dr. T. B. Snoddy of Saltillo, eight miles southeast of Conway, who is in the city today, says the drouth has not yet been broken in that sec tion of the county and there is a great scarcity of water, many wells which have never before failed being dry. There has not been a rain which has thoroughly wet the ground at Saltillo since the second Sunday in May, Dr. Snoddy stated.

The program was somewhat different from quartets appearing here hereto fore. Besides musical numbers, the troupe presented little skit, entitled quite intereting. An exetaoin cmfwy Toms Busy Day." which proved quite interesting. An exhibition of water color painting also was good.
 The next number on the course will be the Cord -Rummell Company, musical entertainers, who appear at Central College Thursday night, No- vember 16.

RUSSfLLYILLF RI
 HOLDS PUPS TO TIE NEITHER TEAM SCORES
Visitors Show Classy Fighting in HOtly Contested Game with
 Hendrix Seconds.

The fighting Russellville high school football team yesterday after noon held the Hendrix second team to 0-to-0 tie on Russell Field, in one of the hardest fought battles ever seen here. Neither team had an advantage, except in weight which favored the local lads. But this was overcome by the visitors fighting ability, which they kept up through out the combat.
 After the first kickoff, which was received by Pierce Merrill of Hen drix, who returned the ball 25 yards from the 2O-yard line, the ball was kept near the center of the field the entire afternoon. Both teams fought doggedly, and each held it's oppo- nents for downs innumerable times.
 In the third quarter, Russellville was held for downs and forced to punt. Captain Jimmie Davis of the Bullpups, standing on his 35-yard line, received the oval and sprinted 75 yards across the coveted chalk
 
 line, but the ball was called back on account of holding upon the part of a Hendrix man. All Hendrix got was 15-yard penalty. Jimmie flung off tackler after tackler in his great sprint, and showed himself to be an artist at the business. His light weight keeps him off the varsity team. With a few additional pounds on his frame, he will be one of Coach Headrick's most valuable men.
 The entire Russellville backfeld put up classy exhibition of Rugby. In Captain Lawrence, McKennon, Norwood and Renfrow, Coach Mum has quartet of backs that would be credit to any high school. The visitors line also played a good game, For Hendrix, Captain Davis, Pierce Merrill, Fire Eater" Jones, Farris and Seabrook played best.

DOM ESTIC PETS
IN TOWN LIFE

A capitalist living in another town
announced few years ago that he
would lay out residence street
with special restrictions against
keeping domestic pets. He proposed
to insert a clause in each deed, fer
bidding the keeping of dogs and
hens. While he would not exclude
cats irrevocably, yet he proposed to
sell only to persons who during their
occupancy would verbally agree not
to keep them. He believed that
many people would be attracted to
his street.
Many persons think that dogs
should be kept only on farms. They
are irritated by the digging up OF
gardens, depositing OF bones over
lawns. and the historic tendency to
bark at the moon. They believe the
canine has no place in town life UNI
less tied up. They trempie at ev-
cry pup that banks, and telephones

before they venture to call.
Hens have long caused neighbor'
hood quarrels. AS a town grows In
size they become impossible save in
the outskirts. They are great
help in reducing living costs. and
many people find egg production di
verting and profitable. But 1t Is
dreadful on sensitive modern nerves
If rooster crows or hen announc

Many parents encourage children
TO needless fear of animals. The
sensitive dog sees cringing look II
the eye, and shows his teeth all the
more ferociously. People who are
not afraid are rarely molested.

THE LARGER
COMMUNITY SPIRIT

The typical characteristic OF q
progressive town is keen sense OF
the gains that may come from the
growth of town as a whole. The
people clearly see that IL they can
make their town and its business in
crease, every form of property AMI
business will go ahead Furthermore
the net profit in case of such in
crease should be larger proportion
ately than the gain in gross returns
A larger business can often be done
without much increase of expense
leaving a greatly enhanced net re-
turn.
In every progressive town, there
fore. the merchants are willing to
devote much time and thought to
making the town grow as whole.
They do not relax efforts TO com
pete successfully with each other.
But the gains that come from the
growth of the town as a whole come
easier and with less effort
The first essential Is to develop an
intense feeling of community loyal
ty. 1t should be realized that ey'
eryone who owns business or any
real estate is going to gain by the
growth of the town as whole. AL
so everyone who has a job in grow
ing town is a gamer. though this Is
not always realized. In a growing
town employers are better able to
pay good wages, and there are more
opportunities for advancement.
The first step in community loyal
ty is to patronize the home merch'
ants. The man who sells supplies
in your town is in a sense your bust
ness partner. He is working for ends
that are vital to your success. Ey'
cry purchase made at home helps on
the town helps make your property

The faculty meeting at the Univer.

an increase in salary which has been
petitioned for by seventy.four men,
bers. 1t was decided that nothing
should be done in the matter nor
discussion be held until the regents
committee makes its report. The
only matter considered by the fac
ulty and the administrative council
was the program of commencement
exercises at the University on the
7th OF June.

unable to finish the report last eve

DR.. Widtsoe announced that he
had appointed A. C. Darlington,
who has been his secretary for
number of years at the Agricultural
College, as his secretary as presi-
dent OF the University. The regents
will probably elect Mr.. Darlington

A NEW FARM ENGINE
THAT BURNS OIL

II You have ever lost half a day
trying to adjust the carburetor in
your gasoline engine, you will no
doubt be Interested in an engine that
has no carburetor, no batteries, no
spark plugs, no magnetic and no
wires. This engine Is made by the
Burnoil Engine Company, of South
Bend, Indiana, and just as the name
implies, it burns oil insteId of gas
oline.
The ordinary gas engine has a car
buretor which takes in gasoline and
air and furnishes the cylinders with
the mixtures which must neither be
too rich nor too lean. II the mixture
is right You get an explosion from

piece of mechanism and can be east
ly clogged by dirt which causes II

that causes waste of fuel and
eventually upsets the adjustment.

carburetor and its troubles. It's mani
