er town. Better police protection.

ticularly spoke factory or mill. A
Carnegie library. Increase in taxable
property values of city and county
property and reduction in the city

of the purchase and use Of home prod
ucts. Such prosperity as will enable
every member of the club to own an
automobile before the end of the year
1917. A larger and better county fair
and a display at the Tri-State fair for
1917. Upton county spent 100000

organize a Hog Club, put many good
fellows on the water wagon and will
put the whole bunch on the water
wagon if reelected, and last but not

president of the United States.
We will, il reelected. pllt. the boil
weevil out of business by raising more
truck and less cotton, induce everyone
to trade at home, reduce the price of
gasoline and regulate the speed limit,
get up a patent to take the noise out
of Ford cars, make it mis-de-mean-
or for anyone VINO does not pay just
debts, pass laws forcing property
owners to clean the snow off their
walks, have Uncle Sam to place
large mail box in front Of the post
Office in Covington, keep the price Of
cotton at minimum zoe and cotton
seed at $50 per ton, convert all the old
grouchers into Sunny Jims.
You can't go wrong by voting for
the blues, as they are tried and fav-
orite trues.
