ALMANAC HUMOR

Our friend Dr. Miles has sent in a copy of his famous almanac for 1921, with a whiligig and some flag in four colors on the back, for which we are thankful.
 It contains a store of valuable in- formation, including a picture of a gentleman who has had his zodial cut open to have his appendix and ried but is standing proudly on two buffalo fish, with a ram jumping over his head to butt old Taurus in the neck, and billygoat standing on two hind legs with whiskers. There are two twins, which IS the usual number, looking toward a lion who must have had his dinner or is pet lion. A youth is shooting at a virgin with a bow and arrow, al though it is against the law to kill them, and she is sitting between . very large scorpin and crab ffonu which she would run if they were mice. Old Aquarius is s,ouring wild. cat whiskey out of .ne ground, .hu, wasting it like & sheriff.
 There's much other useful infor. nation, among which We learn tha, 1T all the almanacs were laid end to end they would reach from New York to Dallas, that New Years Day will fall on January first next year and Christmas on December 25, and that July will be as hot as the devil, although the language is ours.
 There are some jokes which we propose to steal unless somebody beats us to it. This almanac is more interesting than Life" or the Congressional Record" because of the good jokes.-Searcy News.

PROPHECY MADE 100 YEARS
 AGO HAS BEEN FULFILLED

Plymouth, Mass, Dec. 21.-A
 prophecy made by Daniel Webster
 100 years ago was fulfilled today when Governor Coolidge, sitting in the ancient rush-bottomed chair of the Pilgrim governor Carver, talked by telephone across the continent with representative of Governor Stephens of California. The incl dent was feature of the Pilgrim tercentenary celebration.
 In his speech December 22, 1920, at the observance of the 200th an- niversary of the forefathers' land ing, Webster pictured the assem- blaze that 100 years later again would honor the memory of the Pill grims.
 We would anticipate and par take of the pleasure with which they will then recount the steps of New England's advancement" he said. "On the morning of that day, al- though it will not disturb us in our repose, the voice of exclamation and gratitude commencing on the Rock of Plymouth shall be transmitted through millions of the sons of the | Pilgrims until it loses itself in the murmurs of the Pacific seas"
 The quotation from Webster was embodied in the address of Senator Lodge, the orator at today's ex- efclses, and the telephone call from | Governor Coolidge to Governor | Stephens office in Sacramento was timed to coincide with the delivery or that part of the senator's speech.

JUDGE BOSTON A WINNER

This paper makes the prediction that Judge J. T. Coston, candidate for Chief Justice, will carry not less than sixty-five counties in the state. His opponent, Judge McCul- loch, has not been out of the city of Little Rock during the campaign, but Judge Coston has been going from place to place enduring the hardships, driving over rough roads, staying up late at night and rising early in the morning to meet the people and ask them for their vote and influence. He makes a favor able impression wherever he goes. When he visits a county he does not stop at calling on few of the colonels, generals and political boss es but he goes straight to the peo- pie. He meets the political boss, the banker, the merchant, the farmer. the carpenter, the black smith and the day laborer on the same plane. His father was poor farmer, blacksmith and confed- crate soldier, who was ruined fi- nancially by the civil war. MT. Coston now stands at the top of the legal profession, but it has not turned his head. Wherever he has been people of all classes like him and it is unfortunate that all of the people of the state will not have an opportunity to meet and know him personally. His manner is dignified, cordial and friendly
 He is not demagogue but wher he meets man, rich or poor. He tells him his name, gives him { warm hand shake, looks him straigh Yin the eye and tells him he is ;
 candidate and asks him for his vot, i and influence in a polite and earn , est manrer. He never fails to leav' : favorable impression. Those wh l have met him will not forget him ol : election day.
 Judge Coston believes that tn decisions of the Supreme Court uI
 holding over three hundred specis
 road laws passed by the last legis
 lature deprived the people of ss
 cred constitutional right. The idle
 is sweeping the state like prairi fire and his opponent is becomin
 desperate. The rank and file (
 the people are with Judge Costo and no amount of mud-slinging ca
 turn them against him. There
 no political ring behind MT. Costc
 and that is another reason why u people like him and are going vote for him.-Arkadelphia News. (adv

I had hoped that at least one
 state race could be made without eith- CT candidate resorting to mud-sling- ing. l have conducted my race on a high plane but it seems that my opponent could not join me in a clean contest and he has seen fit to stoop to vilification and abuse.
 MT. Owen knows that I am not the candidate of any faction or any set of men and that l announced for Highway Commissioner before any one announced for governor. Just before making my announcement for Highway Commissioner. l talk ed to MT. Owen and he stated to me that he would not be a candidate to succeed himself-that three terms was enough in any state office and that he expected to be a can didate for governor. The Arkansas Democrat of August 2, 1919, carried news story of my announcement for Highway Commissioner and the reporter states that MT. Owen has said ''he would not seek renomina- tion as Highway Commissioner" but would probably be a candidate for governor. l have a wife and baby to support which makes me doubly anxious to win, and therefore am meddling with no other race.
 MT. Owens attempt to line me up in the governors race must fail and is only political trick to preJ- udice friends of some of the can didates for governor against me. In the camps of every candidate for governor will be found some of my strongest supporters. MT. Owen cannot get a single candidate for governor to state that he IS fa- vorable to Mir. Owens candidacy. Practically every one of the candi- dates are assailing the manipulations of the Highway Department--all of them declaring that the conduct of the office should be changed, some of them asserting that it's operations have been so disgracetul that the department should be abol- ished.
 MT. Owen states that l was de- feated for clerk in Hemstead coun- ty, which is true because of par ticipation in a bitter county site removal fight. Later, however, II was elected Railroad Commissioner in that district and carried Hemp stead county by an overwhelming majority. MT. Owen did not tell you that he was defeated for State Senator in his home county of Mil Ter, running behind all his opponents, and that since that time he has never been elected to any office when he had opposition.
 To end the argument about now we stand in our home counties will agree with MT Owen to leave the election in this race to the
