The governor declared the Things
conotor Harding believes vital and
rertinent from his isolated per-
anectiye will not. in all probability
be so regarded by me-
THE governors statement, given to
tha newspaper correspondents at
tba morning conference, follows:
~ recognize the easerness OF the
contlemen of the press who are as
signed here to develop news copy
daily | have no disposition to dis
courage that enterprise, but at the
very outset it is well that we have
this understanding of a. very funda-
mental phase of the present situation
Senator Harding has made two
definite announcements; that he pur
poses to bark back to the days OF so
wears ago and that he will make Of
his front porch listening post. This
means that he will be as far remov-
ed from the running current of pro-
gressve thought as the senatorial
oligarchy of Lodge and Penrose and
Smoot has been removed from the
heart beats of the American people
for year or more.
"NIy campaign will be dedicated o
the task of bringing peace with nom
or Of readjusting the affairs of civ
izatiOn and of creating a new day
out Of which we will make the best
of the lessons of the past. Therefore,
things that the senator believes vi
tai and pertinent from his isolated
perspective will not, in all probabii-
ity be 50 regarded by me. His last
statement Is but a reiteration of
what has been said in the senate
time after time, so that if this cam
palgn on the one hand develops into
mere morning sessions of the senate,

uselessness of daily response

JUDGE III. X. MAHON.

+ We notice IN the press of the Sec
ond congressional district that Judge
Hugh X. Mahon has announced his
candidacy for Congress. Judge Ma
hon is a strong man and will make
the people of his district an able rep
resentative, if the honor is mantled
upon him.
He has represented his county in
both branches of the Legislature,
served a term on the bench of his
judicial district, and is at present in
the lower house of the Legislature.
He has made a splendid record in
each official position he has filled and
has the training and ability to render
distinguished service at the National
Capitol.
The writer has served with him in
an official position. We found him
broad in his views, firm in his conclr
sons, open to conviction and polite
and courteous to those who differed
with him.
He is leader and man who does
constructive work.
Judge Mahon is one Of the States
most patriotic citizens, well versed in
law, and his past experience well
qualities him for a seat in Congress
It is Just such men as Judge Mahon
who should be selected to represent
the state in the National law making
body. While Montgomery county Ii
not in the second district many Of oul
people feel an interest in the election
Of Judge Mahon, he having many
friends among our people and he being
highly qualified, is well worthy Of The
honor.
The above complimentary notice
from the Winona Times of Hon. H. K
Mahon shows how Marshall county's
candidate for Congress is esteemed
abroad, as well as at home.-South

SELLERS AND DEALERS
IN REAL ESTATE.

G. l.. Donald, collector of Inter
nal Revenue has given notice that an
examination of the Chancery Clerk s
records of sales of real estate in 1913
is to be made and if property was sold
for more than its market value March
1. 1918, or more than it's cost, ii pur-
chased subsequent to that date such
excess must be returned as income
in 1919. It is immateEial whether "all
cash" was receiYsd Income

accepted part warranty
deed, and receives IEo4css ecuret Dy
deed Of trust on the property for
the balance, all the profit must be re-
turned in. the year in which the deal
was closed.
Many property owners sold their
homes in 1919 at a big advance over
fair market value March 1, 1913, or
it's subsequent cost. All excess is in
come.
If current reports are true, dealers
in farm lands in certain sections OF the
state are making dates with Collector
Donald to see what part OF their pro-
fits belong to Uncle Sam.
Several ex-chancery clerks of the
state have been appointed deputy col
lectors to hunt up income tax "dod-
gers" in real estate trades.
The "still hunt" for dodgers" will
not start until the last day of grace
is up. Better be wise and make re-
turn and include all profit before
March 18th and save heavy, sure,
and certain penalty.

COOPERATIVE AGRICULTURAL
EXTENSION.
Boys and Girls Club Work.

The real aim of club work is to
start that boy or girl on life's road
in the right way. He is learning the
value of good seed and pure bred live
stock His eyes are open to the i'm
portance Of cooperation with nature
in improving farming conditions. A
boy thus awakened is not satisfied
with education enough to merely read
and write, but his thirst for know
ledge lands him into high school. But
this does not satisfy his thirst, his
plan is to ultimately spend his life
on the farm, hence he will not stop
at high school but will enter the Ag-
ricultural Colleges, and thus fit him
self to make the most of his future
vocation. Having passed thru the
college halls, he now goes forth with
the supreme ambition to own his own
farm home. In order to do this he
abstains from wastefulness, foolish
and harmful habits. His footsteps
leads to the savings bank, where by
thrift and industry his savings swell
until his goal is reached-a real farm
home.
1t is not enough to just give your
boy OF girl nine months Of school
each year and quit at that. Give
them the chance at the business at
home. Too often John does not like
the farm and it is up to you to in
terest him.
The boys and girls club work is a
move to interest the boys and girls
in the home work. 1t gives the boy
a chance to outline a piece of work
and carry it through to completion.
There is the opportunity really, to
own pig, or calf, and manage them
for themselves. To own, care for, and
study and animal will benefit your
child in many ways. 1t will teach
him to be observant, to give atten-
tion to details, to develop an initiative
and executive ability, to say nothing
of that quality and mind that the
world is seeking and willing to pay
for-namely, originality.
Club work gives thousands of boys
and girls in our country wholesome
employment and practical training
that they never would have gained in
any other way. The interest the
child takes and the good resulting
therefrom depends largely upon the
attitude of the parents. Those who
minimize the value of club work,
base their estimate upon market
xalYe OF the pig or calf. To you as
q father, it is a small thing to buy
a pig and keep it for three or four
months, but did you ever stop to
think there was a first time for you
as well; and have you forgotten the
pleasure that comes with real own
ership.
This week and next, is Club En-
rollment Week in Lafayette county,
and we want every boy and girl Of
eligible age in the county in this
work.
If you have a boy or girl of this age
90 to 18) talk the matter over and
if they are not club members get
them to enroll with your school teach
er before March 6. There is no
boy or girl in this county who can
not be a member of these clubs for we
can get all the assistance needed in
financing these club members, pro-
vided they are willing to do their
part. T. A. BAILEY, Agt.
