WANTS CORNELL IN
 THE JUDGES OFFICE

Edltor Log Cabln Democrat:
 Will you please allow me space in your grand old paper to spout off a little. As the political band wagon is getting started, feel like dancing to the old democratic tune.
 My heart is in the county judge s race, for 1 want to see ld-blue-buckle
 overall Marvin Cornell take Judge Lea's place.
 What Faulkner county needs most right now, is man with brains to fit the place and willingness to work, Marvin is the man that can get up against the real proposition. You cannot build roads with pills, butter milk, whipporwill peas, tobacco juice or broken promises, all these you have had. To get results, you must have brains and labor, and the brains must produce labor and not hot air. The Lord has furnished the county enough already with hot aid and with but few laborers. Marvin Cornell is the best road man the county has today. He labors himself on the road and knows what it takes to build a good road You have tried out the other three candidates and found them wanting Now, voters of old Bristol and the other townships, come on and let us go vote, 1 am voting for Mar win. How about you? I want to see a real man in the county judges office one time. M. O. Strickland, Advt 1t* Kingston, Okla

TEXAS BALES GRADE
 LOW; MARKET SLUMPS

Forecast of downward trend in the cotton and cottonseed markets is seen by some cotton men here in the bulletin issued by the Dallas office of the federal bureau of markets, de- tailing movement of cotton and cont tonseen in southern Texas, together with prices. Early Texas cotton is being classed as little better than strict middling and is selling on the Houston market at 37 cents. Cot tonseed in wagonload lots is selling at San Benito and Victoria at S20 per ton, or $23 in carload lots. The bull letin is as follows:
 Reports come from San Benito. Cameron county, that the new crop is moving rapidly. Practically all gins are running, 105 bales having been ginned to July 23. The average gin receipts are grading a little better than strict middling."
