Stand By Your Party.

We call attention of our read CTS this week to an article on our front page written by Mir. D. H. Echols of Cotton Plant, Chair man of the Woodruff County Democratic Central Committee. Every Democrat who reads the copy of the pledge which was signed and filed last March by MT. Patterson in the primary will no doubt pause and reflect at the action he has taken in bolting the party.
 By an unwritten law and prin- ciple of the Democratic party, every man who votes in the pri- mary elections then and there agrees that if his candidate loses and a majority vote for the other fellow, that he will go to the general election and support the nominee. We fully believe that the Democrats of Woodruff Coun- ty think more of their party and it's principles than they do of MT. Patterson or any other person, and that they are not going to follow him in bolting their party.

Results of Tests Made Last

Now Announced.

From the Kansas City Star-When tire
Southern treatment for Group and
cold troubIes-Vick's Vap-O-Rub
SalVe-was being introduced in
Kansas City, Mo-, last spring, the
local druggists naturally were skep-
ticaI. They wanted to be "shown"
that Vap-O-Rub really would relieve
Group and colds just by applying
over the throat and chest. So ar
engagements were made for each
druggist to give away a few compii-
mentary jars to his customers on
condition that they give it a thor
ou1h trial and report the results.
We give below few extracts from
these reports.
Mrs. James Rollens. 1928 Tracey
Ave. writes-"I have used Vap-O-Rub
for a cold in the chest and find it ex-
cellent, and especially SO for children.
l have also used it several times for
asthma and find it does wonderful
work"
Mrs. Almira Turner, 1914 E. oath St.,
used Vap-O-Rub on her husband who
had bronchitis and relieved him with
two nights applications. Mrs Turner
has also tried 1t on her children, and
particularly on her four months old
baby. who had a bad cold, and 1T
surely did cure her. l cannot praise it
too highly"
