oUAcHITA CLUB GIRLS
RAISE GOOD POULTRY

Eighty-three members of the Ouachi-
ia girls poultry clubs are raising stan
dard-br poultry, under the direction
of Miss Fannie Buie, home demonstra-
ton agent. The girls are divided into
10 clubs located in different communi-
ties. They have their own officers and
conduct meetings at regular intervals.
Miss Buie has had letters from 20
of these club girls give in reports on
their work. These letters, Of which
the following one is typical, show that
the girls are very much interested in
tehir work and are following the
agents direction in the care of their
flocks:
Dear Miss Buie:
81 have 10 chicks now and one old
hen. My chicks are about a month
old now and have another hen about
ready to hatch. Now have my chik-
en- yard finished now and big box
coop. My chickens don't get wet at
all, I feed them mixed feed. feed
them chops. oats, wheat, grits, and let
tuce, onion blades. feed them or

SHEEP SPECIALIST
ATTENDS CONFERENCE

At a recent conference of wool
growers, dealers and bankers held be-
fore the governor Of the Federal Re-
serve Board in Washington 1t was the
consensus of opinion that the present
demoralized condition of the wool
market is only temporary, and that
wool should be held at home and in
licensed warehouses until the market
again become stabilized. G. P. Will
liams, extension sheep specialist at the
Louisiana State University was in at
tendance at this conference and says
buying of wool has practically stop
ped throughout the country, and that
in the face fexisting conditions il
is futile to try to sell wool for what
it is worth.
The situation was precipitated by a
number of abnormal conditions, and
there is no evidence that any inter
ests are trying to depress prices on
hand the farmer a raw deal. The
farmer himself at this time is likely
to prove the worst enemy of proper
wool prices by crowding his clip t.
market when there is no market
Dealers are not inclined to quote low
prices unless urged to do so by in
sistent growers and pools. Farmers
are urged to store their wool few
weeks at least and permit the market
to take form.

 'rhe democratic platform of 1912 for example, declared for a single term and a bill was actually introduced, and I think reported to the Senate. to carry ! this platform declaration into effect. But the President not only compelled fits abandonment. but accepted a renom- .ination.. The same platform declared {. in favor of exempting Amerclan ships :passing through the Panama canal from : the payment of tolls And the present ;executive in specific trems during his : first campaign accepted and approved {: the declaration. but democratic Con- gress was compelled by the President to 7 violate the pledge.
 T do not need to particularize further. {; It is notorious that Congress so long as ! Ii was controlled by democratic ma- jority exercised no will of it's own When the President said 'go.' it went: and when he said come. it came Under his hand Congress ceased to function as q co-e equal branch of the government.
 One of the things I intend to do when I am President is to reverse that tendency. I shan undertake to bring the government back 10 the constitu- ton. I shall not submit treaty to the Senate with the arrogant demand that they shall take it or leave it. I shall ask their advice and consent. shall mot undertake to set aside and refuse

JILL TEXT OF DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM

.tnvestors shall have rights as well as duties, that government should receive our recognition and system atic assistance. Until these proper expectations have been met, Mexico must realize the propriety of a pol icy that asserts the right of the Unit ed States to demand full protection for is citizens.
 Free Speech and Press.
 We resent the unfounded reproaches directed against the Democratic ad- ministration for alleged interference with the freedom of the press and freedom of speech.
 No utterance from any quarter has been assailed and no publication has been repressed which has not been animated by reasonable purpose and directed against the nations peace, order and security in time of war. PLATFORM Twenty-F'our.
 We reaffirm our respect for the great principles of free speech and a free press but assert as an indis- putable proposition that they afford no federation of enemy propaganda or the advocacy of the overthrow of the government of the state Or nation by force violence.
 Republican Corruption.
 The shocking disclosure of the lavish use Of money by aspirants for the Republican nomination for the highest office in the gift of the peo- pie has created a painful impression throughout the country. Viewed in connection with the recent conviction of a Republican senator from Michi- gan for the criminal transgresSion of the law limiting expenditures on be- half of a candidate for the United States senate, it indicates the re-en- try, under Republican auspices, of money as an influential factor in cleo tions, thus nullifyinG the letter and Haunting the spirit of numerous laws, enacted by the people to protect the ballot from the contamination of corrupt practices. We depIore those delinquencies and invoke their stern | popular rebuke, pledging our earnest efforts to strengthening of the | present statutes against corrupt prac- l tices and their rigorous enforcement. I We remind the people that it was l only by the return of Republican
 senator in Michigan who now is un- | der conviction and sentence for the i criminal misuse of money in his 1 election that the present organization 1 of the senate with Republican ma I jority was possible.
 Conclusion.
 1 Believing that we have kept the ] Democratic faith and resting our | claims to the confidence of the people l not upon grandiose promise but upon | the solid performances of our party, | we submit our record to the nations s 1 consideration and ask that the pledges of this platform be appraised
 in the light of that record.

Thousands of civilians, mostly visi-
tors to Madrid, gather around the pre-
cincts of the palace to watch the spec
tacle. Numbers of them are from the
Spanish provinces, and their bright
shawIs and scarves mixed with the
more prosaic dress Of the Madrilenians
form fit setting to the bright pic

Further details are added by the
itinerant vendors of peanuts and hot
butter rolls and other delicacies loved
by the children, who under the eye
of their nursemaids in their pictur-
esuue costumes of varied hues run
hither and thither.
Sometimes the king himself comes
out on the balcony to salute his guard
