The race for state senator between
A. H. Skidmore, republican, and Oh
Sparks, democrat, as a sporting prop
osition, is the best Of all the ring says.
A history of Cherokee county would
have to give continued mention of
both candidates through several de-
cades to be complete. The ring ad-
mits Skidmore, so far as competency
is concerned, has all the odds on
Sparks, but that Sparks is q great
character in the south end of Chero-
kec county and ought to poll enough
votes to make some sort Of race
with q remote possibility of being
elected. Although q majority Of the
ring for ancient political reasons are
for Sparks they admit Judge Skid

that Ellis is q member Of the first

Influenza, Colds,

Sore Throat
Spreading Throughout the
Country.

Many are finding relief from IN
fuenza, Colds, Sore Throat and per-
haps preventing Pneumonia, it is said,
by the use of Miller's Antiseptic Oil
known as Snake 0iD. It's great
penetrating, pain-relieving qualities
insure almost instant relief when ap-
piled freely on the chest. or throat
well creased when first symptoms
arise. The Oil penetrates through
to the affected parts and tends to
open up the air passages, making
breathing more easy, relieving the
pains. And for the cough a few
drops on little sugar usually brings
prompt relief. Don't fail to have a
bottle on hand when the attack
comes on, and if used according to
results are assured, or your

THE STACKER.

We give you our service, you shut
off our beer,
But the Stacker can drink till it runs
out his ear.
We quit good job to keep you from
harm,
And the Stacker goes by with girl
on each arm.
And laughs at the soldier-poor un-
lucky cuss-
You go with the Stacker, why ostra-
CHE us?
The Stacker rides around in Ford
of his own,
And charges a quarter to haul us to
town.
We're doing our duty, his liver is
white,
Yet we leave the streets at II each
night;
While he sticks around as long as he
cares,
And laughs at the soldier whenever
he dares.
Discipline, we know, is a thing that
must be;
But honest to goodness we fail to see
When the soldier drinks nothing but
water and pop,
Why the drinks of the Stacker can't
also be stopped.
If the Stacker can dance it seems
rather hard
At all decent dances the uniform is
barred.
We have shouldered our rifles and
taken our place,
And Wen 60 to our death with a
smile on our face.
But this is our honest appeal to you
Until we cross over, please give us
our due.

grave danger the individual will over.
look the Importance of doing that
little, day in and day out, over a
period, if necessary, Of years.
But when the kaiser heard of this
food conservation by individual Am
orleans, he considered the movement
such q menace to German victory
that he spent large amounts of money
and employed large numbers of
agents in this country to Illustrate it.
What is important enough for the
kaiser to spend time and money to
prevent is important enough for ev-
cry individual American citizen to
help to accomplish. Food will win
the war; America must supply it.
But it is only by strict, painstaking
daily attention to the governments
very modest request that we Ameri-
cans can insure the success of the
war food conservation campaign.
Each individuals part is so small as
to seem trivial, but the total, if ev-
eryone does his part, will be tremen-
dous.
The kaiser knows in his heart that
if every one of-America's 100000
900 souls eats a pound less wheat
-four a week, America will have a
badly needed extra 133,000,000
bushels Of wheat to ship to its Eu-

He knows that if each of US eats

BELGlANs HAVE NEVER
DESPAIRED, SAYS KING

PARIS, Wednesday, Oct. 24.-The
success achieved by the Allies in the
recent fighting has been very great
and will be pushed home to a great
victory, King Albert, of Belgium, de-
clared to a correspondent Of a Paris
newspaper.
"But,' he added, "we must not
forget that the legs of our soldiers
cannot move as quickly as our hearts.
Certainly never for an hour do
cease to think of the day when | shall
be able to enter Brussels and again
hoist the Belgian flag there. But we
are still forty to fifty miles away
from it and there is the Ssheldt rivA
er to be crossed.
"The victories of our soldiers
prove today how right we were not
to despair. They are the reward Of
a faith which never weakened. You
have seen during those last few days
our people free. You have mingled
with them and you know they also
kept their courage unbroken."
King Albert also spoke of the giant
German gun which bombarded Dun
kirk from Leugenboom and which
was captured intact. The King has
in his possession splinters of the last
she'll fired at Dunkirk.
