"A many sided man is Dwight w. Morrow, republican
candidate for the office OF United States senator in
the state Of New Jersey. He was born on a farm. AZ
an early age he became a b~read-winner. He fought
for an education. He won it by his own efforts.
Time rolled on and the farm boy became an eminent
financier. q trusted member Of the house of Morgan,
an authority on international banking. a leader OF
the republican party, a friend and adviser of American
presidents. an ambassador to the republic OF Mexico.
an adventurer in American politics, a candidate for
the primary nomination for senator on a remarkable
platform calling for the repeal Of the 18th amend
ment.
He swept every county in New Jersey, receiving q
majority III the stalwart dry counties. For months
and months, since his remarkable victory at the polls,
he has been the political sensation of America. He
has made his opening speech in the campaign Of the
year. He will not be a candidate for the republican
presidential nomination in 1892. In that opening
speech he reiterated his advocacy Of the repeal Of the
18th amendment and he eliminated himself as a
candidate for the presidency in the coming election
tw years hence. He commended warmly President
Hoover and the national administration and con-
cluded, Il look forward with pleasure and confidence
to the opportunity Of voting two years from now for
the denomination and reelection Of Herbert Hoover. 7
He ~eulogized the president to the highest degree.
He declared Hoover stands today q potent and positive
factor for peace at home and abroad.
He declared the distressed cure for business depres-
sion Is with the people. His words: The most eff
fective cure for hard times rests with the people
themselves and every employer who maintains his
plant and his organization Is making a substantial
contribution 10 the return Of prosperity" He made
another declaration that national prohibition was and
is not an issue in his senatorial campaign and there
this many sided man made a mistake or rather q
misstatement. He advocated the repeal Of the 18th
amendment. It is a political issue in many American
commonwealth and It will remain a political issue
for years and years to come.

Texas Club Women Urged to Vote
For Amendments

There is an important election coming and there
are five pending amendments to the constitution
Texas club women are qualified voters Mrs. r. F.
Lindsay is the president Of the Texas Federation Of
Women's Clubs. IN a pointed address TO the women
voters OF Texas Mrs. Lindsay calls for support at the
polls Of the amendments as a civic duty; that the
amendment enabling the supreme court 10 hold ses~
sions at any time has long been needed; that the
measure permitting the taxing of university lands by
the counties in which they are situated meets a Just
need: that the one broadening the investment field
for university funds will largely increase the income
OF the institution. Her recommendation is that the
voters Of the commonwealth, both men and women.
will not be negligent of the civic duty that good citi-
zenship imposes upon them, but will vote without
regard TO party or f~actional differences in support
Of these wholesome changes
1t is estimated that 100000 Texas women are quail
fled voters. II is to be hoped that vast numbers will
60 TO the polls on election day and cast ballots in
support Of the wholesome changes"

as West Texas. Covering 10 counties in the section
where he served as q ranger investigator. White
writes that Red Cross agencies alone have reported
94Oo farm families must secure crop reduction loans
while 800 OF these families are now charity cases.
Proceeding along the same line of information
Writer White says, in addition TO these institutions
hundreds Of communities will be called upon for urban
relief for their idle people made so by their crop fall
ures. A Red Cross agency at Spur Is providing a local
fund Of $500 q month for their local charities. This
Is the conclusion Of the former ranger. widely known
in business and newspaper circles of the Southwest.
Texas government can and must help its helpless
creators as much as Texans are now asking the ma
tional government to contribute in credit facilities.
Heretofore Texas has never permitted her people to
suffer from lack Of food or raiment."
WHY should Texas permit her people to suffer
from lack OF food and raiment? Those who are
without collateral or credit will be enabled to borrow
money from government credit banks or any other
banks. These unfortunates and their dependent ones
must be carried through the winter by Red Cross
agencies and the more fortunate Of their fellow citi-
zens in all sections Of Texas, rural as well as urban
circles.
President Hoover has appointed a general commit
tee to work with the governors of states and local
committees. Well. winter Is almost here. Local aid
for local victims Of the drouth must be cared for by
local agencies. Talk is cheap, but it takes hard cash
to buy provisions and to provide shelter for the shell
terless ones. Texas is one Of the richest of American
commemorative. II Is a matter Of record that 68
per cent Of its farm population are tenants. They
were born in poverty. They are in debt more or less
from the cradle TO the grave. They are the principal
sufferers in the drouth sections OF Texas and all other
agricultural commemorative OF the South and the
Southwest.

tied glance at the girl was unusually
silent. Mitchell. looking embar-
raised. listened to Celia and now
and then made obvious attempts at
conversation.
Presently Evelyn Parsons excused
herself and went into the house.
Not for another moment could she
contain her anger. Evelyn mount
ed the stairs, hurried 10 her room
and closed the door behind her.
She stood leaning against ii, her
hands clenched and her body quiv-
ering. Evelyn's eyes were closed.

oh" she gasped. oh"
Suddenly the woman was a tor
nado Of energy. She picked up a
book. the first object u touch her
hand. and hurled 1t across the room.
Papers. magazines, a cigaret case
were next When the room looked
as though a windstorm had struck
1t. Evelyn flung herself in a chair.
Her face was white and distorted.
One white satin toe tapped the
floor furiously.
Gradually she became ouieter.
Blind anger gave way to an express
sion OF grim elaboration. Evelyn's
-eyes narrowed. Nothing had been
lost and on the whole she might
gain from the situation. Temper
airy obstacles often increased a mans
ardor. Hadn't she played the game
frequently?
she moved to her dressing table
and began working with cosmetics
as she framed a course OF action.
In a few moments traces Of the
tempestuous outburst had been re-
moved. A subtle touch Of eye
shadow made her eyes more bril-
liant and gave them a hint Of
wistfulness. She drew fresh lips
with a stick Of carmine, busted her
face and shoulders with fragrant
powder. Under lamplight these re-
storatives would pass unnoticed.
The action SOothed Evelyn as
nothing else could have done. When
she had finished she surveyed her
self with satisfaction. Like other
vain women Evelyn Parsons felt
fortified by her beauty and thought
no man could resist il.
She would make Mitchell ask
her to marry him tomorrow. Oh.
yes. she could do that II had
been exasperating 10 have the goal
within reach and then rudelv
snatched away. but there would be
no such slip tomorrow.
Back In Evelyn Parsons mind
was the thought that Celia would
pay for this interference. Anyone
who interfered with the widows
plans was quite likley to pay.
She was singing softly the re-
frain Of an English ballad as she
returned 70 the porch. 1T was a
song Evelyn had heard Mitchell
say he was fond Of.
"Hilda's bringing something cool
to drink" she said. II thought Ii
would be refreshing"
Isn't Evelyn the perfect host

forgets anything"
You're quite right Mitchell
agreed. His eyes swept Mrs. Par
sons as she sank gracefully into a
wicker chair. She had chosen a
seat where the path of light from
the living room touched her hair
and made 1t a golden halo.
The maid appeared bearing a
tray Of tall glasses and pitcher in
which ice clinked invitingly. She

The above statement was made
at a meeting of dairymen in the
Kennewick community last week by
c. G. Campbell in response to the
suggestion that a certain cow in
the herd be checked because of the
nigh cost of production of butter
rat. This cow was found to have
a iced cost per pound of butterfat
OF 4Sc. Another cow in Campbell's
nerd had produced butterfat at a
iced cost Of but 1sc.
:. The first cow had produced a
little better than five hundred

ing cows well, and while his feed
cost was a little higher than sew
