Platform of M. B. Sparks,
Candidate for Co. Judge

To the Voters of Lawrence County:
In asking for your support for this
important office l believe you are en-
titled to know what stand for, so
offer the following brief statement:
II elected 1 win use the same dill
gence and judgment In handling the
county's affairs that my own business
has always received.
will do all In my power to build
and maintain good roads for all sec
tons of Lawrence county.
l favor expanding on the roads in
each magisterial district as much mon
ey as II pays into the road fund, and
also a proportionate part Of the excess
paid by the Louisa districts. tThe
Louisa districts pay about one-half OF
the entire road and bridge fund.-
favor dividing roads into short sec
lions, 2, 3 or miles each, and letting
contracts at public cutlery to farmers
to keep them in condition, thus insur-
ing constant care.
II elected shall serve all sections
and all people alike, regardless of To-
cation, politics or personal relations
In other words, will serve the whole
county impartially.
| favor repeal of the six-days road
working law, as believe a patrol sys-
tenn will take care of the roads better,
l will fight extravaganza and will
let the people know how every dollar
of their money is spent.

WHEN THEY FIND THE KING.

Tinker Bob hid himself in a hol-'
low tree for there were coming to-
ward him SO many Bats that he would
have been overcome a he been in
sight. You see, these Bats had heard
of the King Of the Forest and now
that he was really in their midst they
were all anxious to see him at the
same time. The thing tina Tinker
Bob was thinking about was how in
the world they had ever heard Of
him. Who could have told them?
There was a chorus of voices call
ing: Where is the King of the For
est? Where Is the King of the For
esti7" They could not see him.. They
chung to the trees and the bushes and
lake. but they could not see the King.
When they saw Lady Duck they were
afraid that their friend Reddy Bat
had deceived them, and such chat
tering you never heard. They looked
for Reddy and when they found him
he was in danger Of losing his life
for telling them things that were not
true. The cry was: Where is:the
King?" +.
Lady Duck saw at once that Reddy
was in danger of his life, and she
came to the rescue. "Quack, quack,''
said she, don't do my harm to that
fellow for he is not to blame for any,
thing. I will tell you all about the
King" There was silence in the
forest after Lady Duck made this
announcement.
You do not know what they thought
about her. Well, I'll tell you. they
didn't think very nuch of her for they
were afraid that she was going to
harm them. When she spoke they
thought Reddy had listened to her and
had never see the King. The. thing
that had happened in the past was
this. When some ducks from the
North Land came along and had beer
flying a long time they were hungry
and a. good fat Bat tasted very good.
SO some Of the friends Of these fellows
had been cruelty killed by them. That
made these creatures feel that Lady
Duck was MOI their friend
Reddy called out, Let this creature

Who would not relax and bid
wrinkles n cares vanish If leisure
hours might be spent in this graceful
boudoir robe? Pajamas, harem
trouser effects and otheS negligees all
pass into the discard When a really
truly feminine robe such as this ap-
pears. The long, gracefully draped
folds are far MORE cnticing to many
women than the trouser nesligee
could ever be.
This one is made something after
the style Of the wrappy evening coats
and hangs in softly draped folds. 1t
is moyenage in style. The material is
a lovely shade of 'wistar:a satin and
the trimming is "toile de tapis," a Pa
risian innovation which is very popu-
lar just now. The English of it is
Cloth of carpet"
This trimming. by the way, is being
used on many of the exclusive new
sweaters and silk suits which are be-
ing shown for southern wear.
