HON. CHAS. r. CRISP,S ELECTION
ASSURED BY 4 LARGE MA ORlI Y

Hon. Charles r. Crisp. without a
doubt. will be nominated to succeed
himself as Congressman from this
district by very large majority. lie
will certainly carry twelve of the Ill
teen counties with a probability OF
carrying every county in the district
with the possible exception of one.

Mr. Hudson and his friend have fail
ed utterly to becloud the issues OF
the campaign by singing the Swan
Song and bowling Mud Singing,
when they, themselves, injected mud

public record, and we submit that the
public record of every public official
belongs to the public and should be
barred to the public by men in office
themselves. and most certainly should
not be withheld from the public.
Mr.. Crisp has shown no disposition
whatever, to touch upon Mr.. Hud-
sons private life or reflect upon him
in the least personally. 1t is only
fair to the people that the official acts
of every candidate for office should
be discussed, and nothing more has
Mr.. Crisp discussed about Mr. Hud
son than his official acts and We can
not understand why Mr.. Hudson
should object to this if he has been
fair TO the people lie represented. On

FOR WINTER FEED

Don't forget that rape plant
ed in August will make fine
pasture for the pigs in October
and November; that turnips
planted in July or early in Aug
ust will make fine feed for the
COWS and calves all winter;
that sweet potatoes planted by
the first week in July will
make fine feed for the pigs.
Plan ahead and raise all the
feed needed for all the stock
and be sure to plan for green
pastures for every month. Then
don't forget the pumpkins.
Stick in a hundred or more seed
in the cornfield, along the
edges of any field, in the old
orchard, around the stable,
along the creek banks or ANY
old place" The Kentucky
Mammoth is good variety for
cow feed and no person should
forget to plant one hundred
seed of the Sugar pumpkin for
pies.

Kelley left Newark about
eight years ago and landed at
Broken Arrow. Okla, as he
says, with nothing but a suit
case and his nerve. As boy,
Kelley was never afraid to
tackle anything, and as a rule
his good judgment always
brought him through with col
ofs flying. These boyhood
traits have developed into fin
er qualities as he has grown
INTO the more mature years of
manhood, and it is largely due
to these characteristics that he
has become a successful farmer
and the largest and most sue
cessful road contractor in Tulsa
county, Oklahoma. For the past
four years he has devoted most
OF his time to building roads
and it is reported by the news
papers of his county that he
has built more miles of good
roads in more than a dozen
counties in his state than allthe
other contractors in those coun-
ties combined.

RAISE MORE POULTRY
BY J. H. MILLER

Yes, more and better poul-
try should be a slogan for all
active farmers. A country gro
Ger in Conway county has an
nounced that he will pay
twelve cents per dozen for in
fertile eggs all summer al
though he may pay as low as
five cents for "pasket count
eggs. This is one step. The EX-
tension Service of the Univer-
sity of Arkansas and Z. S. De-
partment of Agriculture has
been campaigning all year for
more poultry on the small
farms. Let fifty laying hens be
the minimum limit for any pro-
gressiye farm family: Let US
study the poultry business.
Plant an extra patch of cow
peas for the hens for Deem
Der and January and let them
run to the stack after the first
of December. Save the pullets.
Don't fry them. Eat the old
hens and the young roosters.

OBSERVATIONS ON
THE EVILS OF DRINK

Editor Journal.-In a recent
article | closed by asking the
Were you ever in a
closed room with a man who is
almose continually drunk"
Well | will tell you of my
first experience When | was a
student of medicine Tin those
days a student of medicine was
under the instruction of re-
putabla physician six to twelve
months before entering a medi-
cal college) my preceptor
came in the office and told me
he wanted me to watch a GER
tain man that night, not to let
him get out of the house and
try to get him to sleep, giving
me minute directions how to
give the medicine, etc. He had
! delirium tremens. Some of you
who may read this may slightly
call it Snakes in his boots. y
But | tell you it was worse than
that, it was devils on the brain
and | never saw a man with
the disease any worse, and /
have seen many in over so
years practice. In my young
days whiskey was so cheapthat
any poor deluded wretch could
swig the rot-gut until he had
the devils on the brain bad.
But to return. There lay a man
at least 6 feet, 6 inches tall,
heavily built, a man who no
man wanted to meet in a fight,
but with all lulling powers was
perfectly submissive if he could
only get away from the devils.
He wanted to get out and run
away from them. | told him to
take his medicine and go to
sleep. q can't Sleep" he says,
don't you see those devils
shooting their darts at me?"
And there | was all night,
watching in that closed room,
inhaling the fumes from his rot
ten breath and body, and wit
Messing the agony of his poor
wife, She was a good woman
but was tied to a brute, though
he was fine mechanic and
was capable of living arespect-
able life. | could go on and tell
many such but it would be tax
ing up too much space.
Now the wholesale liquor
dealers and brewers are try
ing to get our statewide prohi-
bitory law repealed, for they
are the only men to be benefit
ted in any way. | don't think
any man who cares for the well
fare of the rising generation
will sign the petitions they are
circulating. If that law is re-
pealed, | am in favor of giving
every man a free chance to sell
as much as he can free of
charge. We have no right to
license an evil. for when you
issue licenses who pays for
that license? 1t is the wife and
children of the man who buys
liquor. They are deprived of
the comforts and happiness of
life for the sake Of a drunken
wretch. How a poor man can
afford to buy the stuff is amys-
terry to me, when his wife and
children need every cent he
spends for the rot gut that is
sending him to hell.

MISS LILLIAN DREAPER
HONOREE AT DANCE.

The air was full of music in the pri-
vate ball room of the Paris last night
when all the fashionab1es of society
were found assembled at the bidding
of Miss Helen Brady to meet one of

whiled away in the mazes of the
dance and many new and intricate
figures were introduced.

in a handsome costume of black
spangled net and she was assisted in
leading the dance by Mr. Hunter Bur
nett. Miss Dreaper is vivacious and

ly creation of white and pink
roses. Mr.. Robert Roders led the

taffeta. Miss Francis Brady's brunette
beauty was enhanced by her exquisite
evening robe of gold crepe combined
with taffeta, and she was with Mr.. G.
B. Frierson.

where refreshing fruit beverage was
dispensed were Misses Laliah Bur
nette, Eleanor Barnwell and Margaret

INTERESTING BREAD
SITUATION.

Chicago, Sept. 16.-A reduction of
the five cent loaf of bread appeared
last night to have been decided upon
by the Chicago bakers, instead of an
increase in price.
City officials announced that bakers
mad purchased large quantities of mu-
nicipal stamps for half pound loaves
instead of three quarter pound
stamps as formerly used.
United States District Attorney
Clyne, who is investigating the bread
situation with view to possible pros
ecution under the Sherman antitrust
law, said that the weight of the five
cent loaf had been reduced by some
Chicago bakers week ago.
Chicago housewives were urged to
weigh the bread they buy, and to as
sist the city department of weights
and measures in watching local bakers
for violations of the antitrust laws
and the ordinances on short weights.
The request came from William F.
Cluett, in charge of this branch of the
departments work, who announced
that he would have a corps of inspec-
tors scattered over Chicago to test the
weights of loaves. The announcement
by leading baking concern Saturday
that for several days it has been cut
ting down the weight of its five cent
loaf of bread was responsible, for Mr..
Cluett's message to Chicago house
wives and his determination to learn
for himself whether consumers were
receiving what they paid for.
