 3. Thou shalt not be stingy with thy wife.

 8, Thou shalt not fail to have his meals ready on time.

 iI7. Thou shalt not try to fight thy husband, crying will fetch him sooner.
 8. Thou shalt not expect thy husband to apologize-even when he is wrong. Let 1t pass. 9. Thou shalt snot hesitate to assure thy husband that he is the greatest man alive, and that thou dost admire him more than Roc seVelt or Wilson.

WHY?

Washington. Dec. 24.-The Rcpub-
iican Publicity association, through
its president, Hon. Jonathan Bourne,
Jr., today gave out the following
statement at its Washington head
quarters:
some administration newspapers
assert that this is no time for poll
tics and that this is no time to talk
about the tariff
IF this is no time for politics, why
has the Democratic National commit
tee recently reorganized on the most
systematic campaign basis ever at
tempted by any party committee IN
the United States? Why is that COM
mittee issuing partisan publicity mat
TER and maintaining an extensive
publicity bureau? If this is no time
for politics. why do we have solidly
Democratic cabinet, why are the Dem
ocratic campaign contributors given
the most powerful positions in our
war organization and why was the
chairman of the Democratic National
committee chosen to go as a represen-
tative of this country to the war con
ference in Europe.
If this is no time to talk tariff.
why are we maintaining tariff COM
mission, why was that commission
placed in the control of free traders,
and why is the commission now con-
Gucting a tariff inquiry? Shall the
business men of America keep silent
while an official organization of free
traders talk tariff? Shall men who
exercise alert foresight in their pri-
vate business adopt a 'watchful wait
ing policy in public affairs? Shall
we postpone preparedness for peace
until peace has come? Shall men be
told that they are nervous and hys-
terical' when they urge preparedness
for commerce just as they were
when they urged preparedness for
war? Shall men who believe in Am
erica First leave tariff discussion
and tariff legislation TO that political
party which in 1913 legislated for

For some thirty or thirty-five years
the Delta patrons of the Denver &
Rio Grande railroad have been served
by the old depot that is very soon to
be cast aside. At an expenditure of
nearly $4,000 on a new depot for
this city, the company has been most
generous, even if dilatory. and it
would appear that the populace of
this city should show their apprecia-
tion of this valued asset to our city's
beauty, by celebrating the completion
of the work in some appropriate and
fitting manner. Within a very short
time the splendid edifice will be ready
for the public.

WATTS FOR MOTHER
80 YEARS AT GATE
MOUNTAINEER DIES WITH WISH
NOT GRATIFIED-HAD BEEN
SINCE SHE WAS CHILD.

BRISTOL, Tenn.-A pathetic story
of sons devotion to the memory of
his mother is revealed in the death of
Erwin Hicks, a mountaineer, at his
cabin near Elk Park, N. c., recently.
Hicks had mourned the. loss of his
mother for thirty years, and in all
that time had not become reconciled.
His mother, leaving home when Err
win was small boy, is said to have
babe the little fellow an affectionate
goodbye at the gate, telling him
that she would be back in a little
while and would bring candy for him.
But she did not return. Her husband
received notice that Mrs. Hicks had
been run down and killed by a train
on the East Tennessee and West
ern North Carolina railroad.
The story Of the mothers death
was told to her young son, and from
that moment his mind seemed af-
fected, so great was his grief. Her
promise soon to return fingered in
his mind until he refused to accept
the story of her death. Laboring UNI
der the hallucination that his mother
lived, and that she would keep her
promise to return, the boy stationed
himself at the front gate of the cabin
home daily.
There he waited and watched for
thirty years, the neighbors declare.
But the anticipated meeting was des-
tined not to come; and now the
mountain folk who knew of, and were
impressed with the strange circum-
stance are cherishing the belief that
at last mother and son have been re-
united.
poor Erwin" commented moth
erly mountain woman as she turned
from the freshly filled grave which
held the body Of the man. "At last
his love has been rewarded, and now
he understands why mother kept him
waiting so long"

NE w GOVERNOR HAS
BIG JOB ON HAND
Cats Says He Will Choke Devil Out
of Politics"-Plain Man With
No "Hifaluting" Ways.

The Rev. Sydney j. Cats, recent
ly inaugurated governor of Florida,
declares he will "choke the devil out
of politics" during his four years in
office. The whiskey evil also will be
uprooted and the primary election
laws will be made so plain and simple
that there will be no possibility of
fraud. Governor Cats declares the
Bible is his platform and sermons
will be his political speeches. Cats
is the first Florida governor since re-
construction days who was not the
regular Democratic party nominee.
He is Prohibitionist and has but
one eye.
Cats is the "home" type of man
genial, religious, Industrious. Frills
and airs are as distasteful to him as
highball would be to William j.
Bryan. His administration, there
fore, will not be marked by "bril-
liant social events" but visitors to
the mansion will receive such a well
come as can be given only by gen
timely Southern host.

Gives Valuable Information About
Planting and Growing Peanuts.
Mr.. G. J. Rambo, a prominent
banker and citizen of Edison, who
has had large and successful expert
ence in growing peanuts, was a re-
cent visitor in Dawson.
Mr.. Rambo has issued a circular
giving information on planting and
cultivating groundpeas. He urges
that they be planted so that they will
come up on fiat ground. It is a mis-
take, he says to plant in furrow and
then plow dirt to them. He has had
costly experience in finding this out.
They should be planted (the Spanish
Variety in rows twenty to thirty
inches wide, and four to ten inches
in the drill. They should be cult
waited fiat, either with a harrow or
with fiat wing sweep. They should
be kept clean of grass as they bear
better and are much easier harvested
where there is no grass. There is
great waste, he says, in harvesting
where grass and weeds have grown
up in the peanuts.

HELD AS THE LEADER
OF TRAIN ROBBERS
II. Grady Webb, Student, Arrested
in Kansas City-Confessed to
Poctoffice Department.


KANSAS CITY, Mo.-H. Grady
Webb, young medical student, is
under arrest, charged by federal au-
liberties with having been a member
of the gang which held up and robbed
a Baltimore and Ohio train in Dod-
ridge county, West Virginia, of ap-
proximately 100000 of unsigned
currency in October, 1915.
Webb was identified by a fellow
student, who recalled that the pic
ture on a poster issued by the gov
eminent depicting the fugitive look
ed exceedingly like Webb. One
thousand dollars reward was offered
for the fugitive's capture. Federal
officials say that about $1,000 of the
money was found in Webb's posses
sion.
Webb, who told the authorities he
is 33 years of age, said he came to
Kansas City from Louisville, KY,
three months ago and became stu
dent at the medical university. Post
office inspectors say he has confess
ed to his part in the robbery. Three
other men previously had been ar
rested in the investigation of the
robbery.

| WEEVTL CRUSHER
BY Tiff COUNTY MAN
THINKS HE CAN CLEAN UP PEST
BY SUCKING EN- UP FROM
THE GROUND.

The Triton Gazette prints the fol-
lowing interesting story in a current
issue:
Mr.. j. H. Martin of the Waterloo
section, was in Triton Saturday
morning with machine mounted on
a wagon which Mr.. Martin thinks
will knock the boil weevil into a
cooked hat.
This machine is an invention Mr..
Martin spent about a year studying
out, and is also the product of his
own individual labor. 1t is covered
by United States patent, and every
piece was made by Mr.. Martin in the
shop. It looks formidable enough
to ensnare and entrap an animal
many times the size of the boil wee
vii,
Crushed Into Dough.
The machine is operated by mule
power, and is preceded by an ar.
rangement designed to knock the
weevils from the cotton on to the
ground. A tin chute runs within a
few inches of the ground to which
is connected a suction fan. This is
supposed to draw the weevils back
into the machine from which they
are dropped into a wire basket and
then between two rollers which are
to crush them into dough, so to
speak.
Mr.. Martins machine looks almost
as big as a small thresher. If it
doesn't clean up the boil weevils in
this country, it will be because it
fails to carry out the expectations of
the inventor, who has spent a great
deal of brain energy and manual
labor on it.
But so far, the boil weevil has
proved an elusive pest, merrily side
stepping all inventions of man for
his destruction.
