EMINENTLY FITTED
FOR THE PLACE

From the Iron County Register.
A few days ago Mr., Brewster
informed the Register editor that
ne would this year make the race
Eor Congressman from the Thir-
teenth District and would shortly
give formal announcement of his
candidacy. He is known all over
South Missouri as lawyer of ex-
keptional erudition and ability
sne eminently fitted by talent and
antiring industry to capably fill
ne position to which he aspires.
Born and reared in this district,
and now resident of Iron Coun-
ty, he has close acquaintance
Nth our people and knows their
desires and needs. He is Demo-
vat of unquestioned standing but
kpatriotic American above all. In
this connection | quote with full
Sprobation from the Reynolds
Nlook: Mr.. Brewster is au-
nor of the resolution adopted by
he people at the big patriotic
rally held at Bunker in this county
On October Sd last, wherein all
members of Congress who failed
% give their support to the Presi-
lent and his administration dur
ng the national emergency were
strongly and vigorously con-
lemned.
The crisis still continues hence
lis friends insist he. is the logical
nan to nominate and elect be-
ause of hi,sreliability and stead
astness to the President and the
ADMINISTRATION, and with genuine
'FiIsonian democracy in his heart
Win make q big man in Congress.
From all the counties in the
istrict favorable nentionis made
II Mr.. Brewster's candidacy and
/ he have competitors they will
now before the votes are counted
Hat there has been q race.

that that office was carefully and

/ that that office was carefully and
properly taken care Of while un-
der his supervision. The DeSoto
Press and his home paper, the
Iron County Register, have only
kind and well-dcfined words to
say Of him-then why say we 9TH
erwise? We first met the gem
tleman, Mr.. Brewster, about a
year ago, when he was here and
succeeded in clearing or cutting
the fine and jail sentences to tho
lowest possible point in the sew
eral cases brought out by the riot
about the mines in the district
He has proven his worth to the la
boring men, although many Of
them did not have any money to
pay him for his valuable services.
All were treated alike and the
most Of them appreciate what ha
has done for them. Mr.. Brewster
will in very short time make his
formal announcement and no
doubt at that time you will read
of the kind of stuff he is made OF
his true American principle and
of the past record of his life. We
are not here committing our
selves, but we know that he is .
man that will measure up to all
the requirements of a man to DO
sent to Congress, and, as we have
the pleasure of conducting the
only laboring mans paper in this
county, we behoove it our duty to
recognize Mr.. Brewster as one
among US and shall not throw
even straw in his way.

LOYAL TO FRIENDS
From the DeSoto Press.

From the DeSoto Press.
Arthur T. Brewster of Iron
County was in DeSoto this week
on business. He informed us that
he was a candidate for the Demo
cratic nomination for Congress in
the Thirteenth District and would
stay till the end regardless of who
or how many got in the fight"
~ Mr.. Brewster was raised in JEFF
terson County-and this county
still claims him, although he has
changed his residence. His work
TIL the party in past years is still
frEsh lin our memories and the
debt democracy owes him is big
ohe-and can be partly liquidat-
led" this year by honoring him
with the nomination he seeks.
Arthur was Circuit Clerk of
Jefferson County for four years,
elected over a popular opponent
when the county was normally
POO Republican. This is one in
tstance of his fighting ability and
Eof his standing with the people
lback home" We claim he has
just as many, or more, friends
now than at that time,
Y AS campaigner and vote get
.er he is unexcelled. He prob
ably has wider acquaintance
over this district than any other
man, and he makes and holds
friends with an ease that causes
others to inquire, "How does he
dd itP His oratorica1 ability is
KDted as the best and says some
th} ing every time he opens his
mouth.
If Arthur Brewster goes to
Congress the Thirteenth District
will be emblazoned on the map.
He will be the representative of
Ill the people and no interest will
uffer; the humblest citizen will
ceive the, same respectful atten-
on accorded the high and
mighty" and if a friend ever asks
l favor, he'll grant it if Washing
Ton, D. C., has to be turned up
side down in the doing. These
are facts-we know they are be-
cause we know Arthur Brewster.
And he's true-blue American.
Unless someone now living
here enters the race for Congress,
we predict that Brewster will re-
ceive a tremendous vote in Jeffer-
son.

REYNOLDS COUNTY
WANTS BREWSTER
From the Ellington Press.

From the Ellington Press.
There are five Democratic can
didates for the nomination for
Congress. They are Dave Holli-
day Of GreenvilIe, Mo-, Arthur T.
Brewster of Ironton, c. P. Oar
mon of Fredericktown, ]. G.
Berkely of DeSoto and Albert
Loefler of Lutesville. Hon. Wal
ter Hensley, the present Con-
gresham, is not a candidate to
succeed himself. With five can
didates in the field there is a pref
ty good chance of the Democratic
vote being divided unless some Of
the candidates withdraw. The
Democrats of this district should
nominate man who would not
only carry the Democratic vote at
the general election but get some
votes from the other parties.
We have carefully considered
the chances of each candidate, not
SO much at the primary but at the
general election, and it appears to
us that Arthur Brewster is the
man who should receive the NOM
ination at the hands of the Demo-
cratic voters in August. We
make this statement from the fact
that wherever Mr.. Brewster has
run for office he has run far ahead
OF any other Democrat on the
ticket. Up in Jefferson county, a
Republican stronghold, he was
elected Circuit Clerk when only
81 years old, beating his Repub-
lican opponent by 2e2 votes. And
this same Republican had been
elected four years previously by a
of 454 votes. Arthur
Brewster has been we'll known to
the majority of the Reynolds
county citizens for the past ten
years and they have always found
him to be honest and straightfor-
ward in all his dealings with
them. He is a lawyer of ability,
and as Congressman he would |
be all that would be required.
His patriotism is unquestioned
and he is with the administration |
in its conduct of home and for
eign affairs. During the last SEES
sion of the Circuit Court of Rey-
holds county mass meeting of
Democrats from all parts of the
county was held in the court
house and passed a resolution en-
iorsing his candidacy.

OUR ALIENS PURCHASES HERE.

Most of the money advanced by the United States to the nations in Europe engaged in war with Germany is spent in this country for the products of farms, mines and factories.
 Under the arrangement made by the Secretary of the Treasury and approved by the President these allied gov ernmentS communicate their requirements for materials and supplies United States commission through their designated purchasing agents this country and the commission then renders its best efforts to obtain advan tageOuS terms which submitted to the purchasing agents.
 By these means competitive bidding against the other allies and against the United States is avoided and the same terms and the same treatment government receives is accorded to our allies
 It is expressly stipulated that obligation or liabii yupOn the United States shall be created by this arrange ment. Our government is simply lending to allies in the spending here of the money loaned them The pro- ecOn thus granted them is deserved for they doing the work which if they do not must be done by America at the expense of American lives and American money.

Mothers Suuqestion.

The son Of a certain resident of the city brought an automatic stop for the talking machine recently, relates the Indianapolis News. The mother thought It very foolish to put so much money in such Il Contrivance and asked why it was needed. The son explained that if he was in another part of the house he would not need t0 rush into rhe room to turn the machine off after it had finished playing the record. Many times have had to run into the room to answer the telephone when it rings" she replied when am in an other part of thr house. Let's put one on the telephone, too.

Worry ls Imagination.

We worry because we are able through
q power called self consciousness to
place ourselves through our minds for
the time being either back somewhere
in the past without carrying our physi-
cal bodies with us, for If we could take
our bodies with US we would be in the
present again, and then worry is i'm
possible; or, we use our Imagination
and project the future entirely apart
from our bodies, for we cannot project
our bodies into the future, and If we
could we would again be in the present,
says the "Book, of Wonders" We worry
over going to have an operation per-
formed, which may or may not be dan.
gerous, but quite necessary. We may
still think we worry when the opera
ton begins, but as soon es that occurs
the time becomes the present, and
though we may fear, we cannot worry
In the present.

Savage, but Sensible.

The Jamamadi tribe Of the Amazon
region has a physical test for mar
rage for men which might be intro
duced with profit to the race into CIV
ilized society. The prospective BRIDE
groom must first get consent from his
parents, from the girl and her parents
and from the chief. Then on the morn
ing of the wedding after he has had
his bath in the river he is taken by the
chief to a heavy log. The young buck
must carry this log on his shoulders a
fixed distance. If he is unable to do SO
he Is not allowed to marry. In this
way inherited weaknesses and physical
defects are eliminated, and strong,
vigorous race is the result.-New York
Sun.

Picric Acid For Rurns,,

A well tried remedy for burns, used
much before the advent of the paraftin
treatment, says the Medical Record, is
picric acid, to be employed in the fol-
lowing manner: Picric acid, two drains;
alcohol, 2115 ounces; distilled water, a
quart. The burn is first cleansed Of
dirt and charred clothing, then strips
Of sterilized gauze soaked In the above
solution are applied to the part.
An absorbent cotton pad is placed
over the dressing and lightly bandaged
to place. The dressing dries rapidly
and may be left In position for several
days, after which it Is again moistened
with the solution to soften 1t, removed,
and fresh dressing is applied and left
on for a week. All blisters should be
pricked. >.
The treatment causes pain at first,
which later disappears, and the wound
heals in a smooth cicatrix.
