MRS. GEORGE O'DELL
Is Having a Good Time, But
Remembers Her School Chill
dren.

Bunker, Mo-, June Z, 1919
To my many children, Greet.
lngS:
l am so much like the old
woman who lived in a shoe
that I scarcely know what to
do, when it comes to writing to
my little folks. For if / should
send one a card and neglect an.
other some little heart might
feel it, and some little voice
might utter Miss Ruth sent
Johnny a card, but | never re-
ceived one"
So / take this method to
write to each of you.
My own little girl and l did
not waste much time after
school closed until we slipped
away to spend a few days
where we could rest and at the
same time visit some of our kith
and kin. We had a most de-
lightful trip.
Spent one day in Memphis,
where Iris Ruth enjoyed visit
ing the Zoo and many other in
teresting places. Then we
crossed the great Farther of
, Waters" we wished that all
the other little folks might en-
JOY the same privilege.
After we reached our desti-
nation, we were shown much
attention and taken many
places of interest, one of which
was across part of the Ozark
mountains to a beautiful river
to fish.
We caught more things call
ed ticks" than we did fish.
That is, Iris Ruth did. When
/ went to give her bath on
our return home l discovered
she had only 40" on her little
body. But your teacher was
less unfortunate-for the sim
pie reason that she spent her
time during the day, perched
high on a box, with her feet
resting on some canned corn.
And at night when it did not
rain she slept in the wogan bed.
And when it rained she slept
in the tent on top of a table.
While the remainder of the
party slept on the ground with
the '.ticks and creeping rep
tiles"
hated to have so much
"persnigity" as my teacher,
Prof. H. H. Morgan terms such
a feeling toward Snakes and
bugs and mice, and all such
things as girls are scared of, he
thinks are awful NICE"
The man of the party
caught many fish, and killed
eight squirrels.
So our first experience at
camping will be remembered
pleasantly, despite the rain and
all the weired and awful
screechings of the owls and
frogs and other inhabitants of
the forest and of the water.
We heard our first wolf and
had to be told what it was. AS
we returned, we came through
and apple orchard with thous-
ands of apple trees all set in
rows, and all old trees. This
was also a sheep ranch. We
saw 400 big sheep and 200
lambs. They all seemed to be
bleating at the same time. We
could not hear each other talk
through this place.
We also went through a
ranch on the very top of the
Ozark mountains that had long
been the home of many "deers'
but we did not get even a peep
at one of those shy creatures.
I am hoping my little folks
are all well and happy and en-.
joying their vacation time very
much.
With much love to each OF
you, am
Your teacher,
RUTH w. O'DELL.

Murray Announces for Sheriff

Walter w. Murray. of Beaver. plac-
es his announcement before Herald
readers this week, asking for the
Democratic nomination as sheriff of
Beaver county.
Mr.. Murray was deputy sheriff and
jailor for four years. under ex-Sheriff
Johnnie NJ. Jones and during these
years of service visited every part OF
the county where he made friends
and was recognized as an efficient Of
fetal. He has lived in Beaver coun-
ty for IA years having homesteaded
near Boyd At present he Is en-
ployed in Beaver as truck man for
the Crew-Levick Oil Co.
Mr.. Murray's candidacy is worthy
of careful consideration. He is man
who has served in that capacity and
has made good. A vote for him in
the August primary would not be
misplaced. and II elected, he would
make Beaver county good sheriff.

TUE CRY FROM EUROPE TO RED
FLOODED AMERICANS

The time for the Red Cross War
Fund drive for $4,000 in this
county is approaching. May 20 to 81
is the date when this fund must all
be raised and we must "go over the
top. If we don't, but we will, it will
be to our lasting shame. While the
boys "over there" are doing for us,
could we refuse to furnish them hos
when they fall wounded in battle for
us? Could we refuse them ambu-
lances to take them from where they
lie, bathed in blood, to the first aid
stations for relief? Could we refuse
them those first aid stations? All OF
these things are provided with the
dollars which you and | can give in
this Red Cross drive. 1t is not, how
much can spare, but how much does
IL take? Our spirit should be to give
all it requires regardless of the sac
rifices we must make. Our sacrifices
at the best are as nothing compared
to the man WHO gives his life, the
little children whose hands are sew
cred from their bodies and the noble
women who are ravaged and treated
as beasts.
Out Ol the DleeulnS HedTl VI Eu-
rope there's comes a cry heard above
the moan of the broken body racked
with pain. The soul of freedom, al
bay with death. cries out to save
Liberty for the race of men.
1t is your liberty, your nation!
freedom, your children's birthright
that is fighting for its life.
All that life holds for you as al
American is at stake in this war anC
you must fight for 1t to the utmos
limits OF your power.
| We cannot all be in the trenches
but everyone of us can-and must
sustain those who are.
Not as an act of mercy. but as al
act of war-as Soldier of the Ma
tion-help the Red Cross heal, sup
port, cheer our Soldiers and Sailor
of Liberty that they may fight tn
sooner, the harder the longer in thi
Holy War.
Give to the Red Cross every dollar
every cent that you possibly can
give till your heart says stop.

tions with credit and to the entire

III. p. PARKER FOR
DISTRICT JUDGE

The Rosston News OF April IS,
1918, says: "In this issue will be
found the announcement of ID. p.
Parker of Buffalo for the nomina
ion of Judge OF the 18th judicial
District on the Republican ticket.
This is practically one instance of the
Office seeking the man, as Mr.. Parker
never consented to enter the race
until solicited and urged by his
friends all over the district.
Davis Preston Parker Is a native
of North Carolina, and was born in
1876 in a log cabin on a farm In
Johnston county. He attended the
public schools of his home county.
and the darlington Institute at
Smithfeld in that state. He also at
tended the University of North Caro-
lima, where he was given the degree
of master of arts in 1901 and won
the medal for oratory and was one
of the successful debaters for that
state In the interstate debating con-
test He moved to Texas In later
wears and in 1909 moved to Okla
homa, where he was admitted to
practice law in December Of that
year. In January, 1910, he moved
to Buffalo and took up the law prac-
tice. where his favorable impression
soon won him very satisfactory
business. That same year he was
induced to make the race for county
attorney on the Republican ticket
and was elected. He was reelected
in 1912 and refused the nomination
in 1914. and resumed the private
| pra ctice of law. II is a historical
fact that during his incumbency as
county attorney he secured more con-
victions and won a greater number
| of cases than any like officer since
the county was organized. and his
record Is unexcelled by any county
attorney in the state. He has always
stood flat-footed for law and order
and law enforcement. whether in Of
fee or in private life. Since 1911
he has been president OF the Harper
County Sunday School association
and has always taken a great inter
est in the work. In the event OF his
nomination and election as Judge OF
this district his constituents will be
assured that they will have judge
who will administer the affairs OF
that office in the same fair honor
able manner that has always char
acterized his private and public life.'

A NICKEL. A DAY

This Thrift Stamp campaign for
chilly illustrates the Importance Of
small savings when considered In the
aggregate. For instance: II every
one in the United States saved q i've
cent piece q day the grand total
would exceed $2,O00.0OO,000. II We
should raise that to quarter . day.
and the great majority OF us could
Just as we'll save quarter ~ . meal
the saving would be fve times -
great. or 31O.0OO.000,000- almost
enough to defray our own war sz-
penses for q year.
Did you ever stop to think what
the saving OF a nickel day would
mean to YOU individually? Do you
know that at the end OF year yoa
would have $18.25 more? A dime .
day saved would be $3.50 and n
you would save q quarter . day. ut
the end of the year you would have
$91.25 to the good.
These are things that II is good Tor
one to think about-and to act up
Internationally. Making money h
no more important than knowing
how to spend 1t judiciously. and how
to save at least small part Of It.
