The Womna's Club of Midland
has been requested to take charge
of the Old Clothes Drive in Haakon

immediate relief must be had to
prevent untold suffering among
these people. You are urged to
send any old clothes that can be
spared suitable for cold weather
for all ages, anything that can be
patched or mended is acceptable,
The only requirement is that they
be clean. Kindly collect all you
can and send to Mrs. L.. B. IIg,
at Midland, prepaid, where they
will be boxed and forwarded to
the relief society for export.
Another trainload Of cattle were
shipped from here Saturday. Up
to this time about $50 cars of cat
tie have been shipped from here
and lots more are ready to 60, but
the market has been so glutted
lately that shippers are afraid to
ship any more cattle. -Belvidere

Only twelve more days and this
crues campaign will be over. Of
course, twelve days is long while
when nerves are raw and excite
ment runs high, but if soume Of
our Democratic friends here i'm
Philip can just survive the strain
of the next few days, we believe
they will pull through. 1t will not
be long now until they will be alb
'e to get a little sleep in the latter
part of each night, and by the
middle of November they will be-
gin to show again the speech and
other symptoms of sane human
beings.
"A number of our people were
over to Agar on Tuesday night to
attend the political rally held
there. Col. Leedom and Mr.. Wag-
goner of the west river country
addressed fine gathering with an
excellent address. Sully county
is going strong for Harding and
the entire republican ticket On
ida Watchman.
The Democrats have had hard
luck ever since the war ended.
The first Wilson administration
was not so bad. The management
of the Fwar was wasteful in the ex-
treme but the people stood for it.
The armistice, however, marked
the beginning Of the decline in
public favor of the Democratic
party. Ever since that night when
a wild mob here in Philip, cele-
brating the armistice, ran amucKs
and in the excess Of their iubila-.
tion made a bonfire Of Hughie
McMahon's lawn cabinet things
have gone from bad to worse.
That was the beginning, and since
then the country seems headed for
the very dogs.
Some excitment was caused here
last week Thursday when q young
rancher from the Pedro country
tried to bring home wife who
had become dissatisfied with mar
ital conditions The wife left him
and intended taking the afternoon
/ freight east, and hid out Of town
until the train was due here. In
the meantime one of the boys
dressed up as woman, white
| stockings and all, and strolledI
down the track as the train came
| into town The husband started
after the supposed wife, who ran
to the road quarter Of = mile
least Of town, where horse had
been held for him, and flew down
the road The pursuer gave up the
chase when he saw the wife Az
cape and returned to town. Ann
the real wife, in the nneantin
boarded the train and was on hez
way east to safety asta e;s
