A MAN ABOUT THE
 HOUSE ALL DAY

There is nae luck aboot the hoose,
 There is nae luck ava.
 There is nae luck aboot the hoose
 When the gude mans ava.
 No doubt the Scotch poet meant well whn he gave to the world those TO- mantle words; but there's many a housewife who makes no bones about taking issue with him and declares he might with profit have learned more on that subject than he apparently knew, These are the wives whose husbands for one reason or another sit about the house all day. It isn't the man who has money enough to live at leisure who sticks so close to his own freside-he who has leisure is more apt to wander far aheld to kill time and find pleasure-it Is the man who is out of work. To be sure, a man-the best of them-cannot help that condi- tiona of affairs. Now and again the ups and downs will come into a work ing mans life. e This article has to do with the man who would graduate from hard tasks, who goes out daily to search for some thing to do though praying he may not find it. Such a man Is generally blessed with a thrifty wife-one that can earn money for the family sup port with her needle or even the wash tub if need be, and it generally needs to be sooner or later. When wife once contracts the habit of supporting her husband and whatever children they may have, she gradually assumes the position of the head of the home, its protector and mainstay. Every good wife is willing to put her shoul- der to the wheel in case of ener- gency until her husband finds employ ment. The right kind of man will not stand on ceremony as to the kind of position he will take; he takes any thing respectable that he can find to do to restore the mother to her proper place in the home. It makes all the difference in the world in a wife's dis position, her hopes and her affections. whether she is supported or has to do the supporting. If the husband is in capacitated by illness, or like afflic- ton, that is quite another matter. The noble wife fulfils faithfully the vows she took updn herself at the altar when they were wed. The lazy hus- band-he who will mot work-1s the abomination of the home. His wife has only one hope, one ambition. one inspiration-to educate the children that she may have a home and rest with some one of them when old age assails her and her strength fails.
 It Is great delight to the majority of women to have their husbands about the house evenings, Sundays and holidays. His presence is appre-' ciated, but if he Is always about. pa- ttence, even with the best of wives, will sooner or later cease to be a vir- tue. Nothing kills wifely love more quickly or completely.

CURIOUS SWEETHEART.

c. L. writes: T kept steady com pany with young lady from January till now. Would die for her. For weeks she seems not the same as at first when started to enjoy her con- panionship. Asked her if she loved me. Replied, Still love some. not so much as at fist urged giving me reason. She shook her head-gave none. Day after, we passed on street. She neither spoke, nor looked at me. Loving her, I await kind advice as to what to do."
 Curious are some who have been sweethearts. Do not be too eager. Es- corting another may bring back her liking.

 FRS MEETING SENT OUT

Secretary Laseter of England 1 of the Arkansas State Teachers Association has just mailed out to the teachers of the state eight thousand copies of the programs that are to be delivered at Little Rock, April 6-7-8, at the forty eighth annual session of the As sociation.
 Among the prominent educa- tors who are to take part on the program are Dr. A. E.

MCKkIGHT'S
Views On Congressional Race

My opponents are now very
 husv trying to show how strong
 bey are. l have seen more
 (hat Mr. Goodwin has, done in
 Congress in the past two weeks
 kban in all his five years service.
 Very funny that he got so bu-
 Iv right at this time. If you have
 hot received your letter telling
 how much interested he is in
 kour cause right now. coming in
 free envelope. go to the office
 knd get it, for he has written
 eyery body to this effect.
 Have you seen MT. Warnock' s
 hired man bringing the news that MT. Warnock is very strong
 way off some where and will eyen up with Mcknight in Cal
 houn county. Let's see how this eompares with the past. Me- Knight carried his county al-
 most solid two sears ago only Aoosing 38 votes in the entire Co.,.
 He received 1900 votes in Un- ion Co.,, carried Ouachita and Bradley by big majorities getting &l1137 votes in this Congressional 6istrict and wining by over 1300O land that for his third race for Rail Road Commissioner.
 Why This Great Victory Because he has been serving <the people; he has had built 23 Bdepots in this district alone, also many stock pens and other con- lveniences contending that a de- bot is as badly needed at a flag stop and some times worse, as those who must get on there can ! not tell when the train will ar. l rive. The State has paid for |this service hut those who have received the benefits will help him again. He has also collected be. tween nine and ten thousand dol. liars in small claims and these |good people will remember him. Do not get on a sinking ship land let the Captian fool you. If really desire to find the strong man go send a disinterested per. |son. Don't let one of Goodwin's s |appoirtees or Warnock's hired haunchers tell you. and remem- Der that he who gets the country vote gets the office. Stay with Mcknight and he will stay with you.

DEMOCRATIC COUNTY GEN.
 TRAIL COMMITTEE MEETING
Officials of the Party Name the Judges and Clerks for the
 Primary Election

The Democratic County Central Committee, M. L. Moore Chair man and Chas. H Tompkins, Secretary, met here Saturday at the court house al 10 o'clock, and with but one exception the entire committee was present. They were as follows; M l.. Moore, Andrew Jordan, c. A. Fincher. T. W. Mcdaniel. Sam Chamberlain. J. V. Hulse, J. G Rhodes, R. P. Hamby, Chas. H. Tompkins, J. Nj. Boswell, Albert Starrett, J. w. Dryson, J. w. Silvey and H. E. Askew.
 Upon motion and unanimous vote 1t was resolved that at all meetings of the committee ten members should constitute a quorum for the transaction of business.
 c. A. Fincher was appointed as committeeman from Alabama township to fill the vacancy caused by removal from the county of T. c. Mcclure, the regu- lar committeeman.
 It was unanimously voted to place box at Nichols School House for the convenience of the voters of Alabama township.
 A motion carried to make a canvass of the number of votes cast in the last gubernatorial race by democrats in order that it might be determined what num- Der of representatives of each township should have in the County convention. Messrs. T. w. Mcdaniel. of Boughton township and Chas. H. Tompkins of Mis- souri, were appointed to make this canvass.
 A committee consisting of Messrs. Hamby, Bryson, Jor- dan, Hulse and Fjncher was appointed to draft rules for regu- lating the primary and the fol- lowing were submitted. and adop- ted by the committee.
 Be it resolved. That the rules for Democratic primary election in Nevada county be:
 That this is to be a legalized primary election. All judges and clerks must be sworn. The oaths will be found in the poll books. The judges must be sworn by some officer authorized by law to administer oaths, but the clerks may be sworn by the judges of the election after the judges have been sworh by some justice of peace or a notary public.
 Qualifications of Voters. All white Democratic electors over the age of twenty-one years who paid their poll tax for the year 1914, are entitled to vote. A young man who has just be come twenty-one years of age, or who will be twenty-one years of ages at the time of the General Election the first Tuesday in Nov ember, should be permitted to vote. If a man moved into the State after the first day of June 1915, he would not owe a poll tax and II otherwise qualified. should be permitted to vote.
 The committee at considerable expense has furnished a list of names of those who have paid their poll tax. If a man offers to vote whose name is not on the list, and who has not moved into the State since June 1st. 1915, and who has not become twenty. one years of age. he should be rejected. unless he should pro- duce a poll tax receipt dated be- fore the first Saturday in July. 1915. Very great complaint has been ca4sed by indiscriminate

being thrown out. No man should be permitted to vote whom the judges know is not a Democrat.
 If there is doubt about this question, he should be sworn and asked if he voted Democratic ticket at the last General Flee ton. If he says not. he ushold not be permitted to vote unless he will state on oath he will vote theDemocratic ticket at the next General Election from Presi- dent of the United States down to and including the Township officers. We have had too many people voting in the primaries who paid no attention to this pledge, and the judges are call ed on to enforce this rule strictly,
 This oath to be administered should be in the following form:
 Doyou solemnly swear that you will true and perfect answer make to all questions asked you touching your qualifications as a voter in this primary election?
 After taking the oath, then the judges can question him. If his evidence develops that he did not vote the Democratic ticket two years ago, then before he is permitted to vote the judges should require him to take the following oath: Do you solemn ly swear that if you are permit ted to vote in this primary elec- tion that you will support the nominees of all the various Dem ocl atic primaries and conven. tions at the next General Elec- tion from the nominee for Presi- dent of the United States down to and including the Township officers.
 Some complaint has been made that whiskey is being used to in. fluence voters. This is a peni. tentiary offense under the new law, and if it comes to the know ledge of the committee that any judge, clerk, or sheriff is in any degree under the influence of liquor, the committee will re. serve the right to throw out the entire vote of the said precinct and if proof is made that any candidate is using any whiskey to influence voters in any town. ship, or is offering for use whis. key for that purpose, the vote for that Township for that car didate will be thrown out.
 l Attention is called that none of the election officers are per. mittted to electioneer for any ndidate. The judges of the election should remember that they are under oath and conduct the election with the same fideli- ty as if they were discharginQ any other official duty.
 The judges and clerks at all boxes will be paid $l. 50 for hold. ing the election at all boxes where the vote does not exceed 130; where it exceeds 130 votes they will be paid three dollars each for holding the election, and the judge actually bringing the ballots into Prescott will be paid ten cents per mile one way for this service. All sheriffs will be paid one dollar each, as their ser vices will not be necessary at the polls after the ballots are closed.
 It is a penitentiary offense for any man to vote in primary el- ection who is not qualified vot- CT. The attention of the voters should be called to this provision and that the rules for holding primary elections heretofore adopted by the state central com mittee be and same are hereby adopted by this committee.
