If you believe in standing by
your neighbor, don’t fail to vote
for Tom Raney next Wednesday.
Every man is a part of his town
or his community, and he should
play his part so well that neither
the town or the community will
be willing to part with him.
President Wilson is not run
ning the government to suit the
Batesville Guard. Somebody
ought to tell him that the Guard
does not like his Alaskan policy.
Tom Raney is our neighbor
and our friend. He is clean, hon
est and competent, and is a win
ner in the race for railroad com
missioner. Let’s make Indepen
dence county unanimous for
Raney.
The Batesville Guard professes
to be a great admirer of President
Wilson and his administration,
yet the Guard loses no opportun
ity to knock on Congressman
Oldfield for voting for a measure
which Wilson asked for and
which the national platform en
dorsed. There’s consistency for
you. _____________
Make the farm sustain more
animals by raising larger crops.
Larger crops and more animals
to consume them will give you a
better chance to keep up the fer
tility of your farm. The average
crop scarcely pays expenses; a
larger crop may afford a small
profit, and a bumper crop may
give you a chance to improve
your home and enjoy life.—Farm

There are now more than 1500
students enrolled in the four ag
ricultural schools in Arkansas.
These schools are doing a good
work for the farmers, and if the
Farmers Union never did anoth
er thing, it is entitled to the last
ing gratitude of every farmer
for having started the agitation
and kept up the fight for the es
tablishment of these schools un
til they were secured.
Bro. Wood of the Marianna
Courier, who is a candidate for
railroad commissioner, is making
an awful lot of noise in his op
position to Raney. Even an old
empty tin can with a pebble in it
will make a lot of noise, but noise
won’t win the race. Fact is, Wood
had as well make his arrange
ments for a pass up Salt River
and shut off his noise because his
Nanny is already tied at the gate.
There was never a national ad
ministration more popular than
the present one, and there can
not be found in the entire state
of Arkansas a Democrat who will
not throw up his hat and whoop
for Wilson. He will give up his
shoes and socks too for Williarr
J. Bryan, and when Wilson anc
Bryan espouse the cause o-f a can
didate the people are willing tc
take their verdict. They giv<
Congressman Bill Oldfield theii
endorsement and praise him foi
the good work he has done ir

do not be misled by the men with
a grouch who are knocking or
Oldfield.

Oldfield’s record in Congress
and as a private citizen is one of
which his friends and supporters
are proud, and by his return to
that august body he will be in a
a position to give the people even
better representation than in the
past, by reason of past experience
in the halls of Congress.—Calico

If Judge Kirby is elected Unit
ed States senator to succeed
Clarke, who is going to bear the
expense of holding a special elec
tion to elect a supreme court
judge to fill Judge Kirby’s place?
Supreme court judges are elected
for six year terms, and Judge
Kirby has four years to serve be
fore his present term expires. It
costs the state about $60,000 to
hold a special election. In other
words, if we swap Clarke for
Kirby we must pay $60,000
' ‘boot.” Is it worth the money?
The Sharp County Record’s
grouch has broken out again in
most virulent form, with an at
tack on Congressman Oldfield.
The Record’s grouch has become
so chronic that it is considered a
joke among the newspaper men,
who recognize the fact that if its
grouch didn’t ‘‘break out” at
regular intervals the Record
man’s condition would become
alarming. The Record usually
raves and paws the air like a
zebra dying of hydrophobia, dur
ing these “breaking out” spells,
but it is really harmless and no
one pays any serious attention to
it.
The following editorial is clip
ped from the last issue of Bryan’s
Commoner, and is a fair indica
tion of what Bryan thinks of
Congressman Oldfield’s vote on j
the Alaskan railroad bill: “The
government will build a line of
railroad in Alaska largely because
the people have outgrown the
idea that it is good policy to per
mit private capital to do what
they can do better themselves. In
the sixties the government built
the Pacific railroads and then
turned them, along with millions
of acres of land, to private own
ership. It will keep the one in
Alaska, after it has built it, and
will also reap the profits from
the increased value of lands along
j the line that it was once thought
was necessary to give away in
order to get a road built.”

President Wilson Says He Is “Ex
tending the Hand of Real
Helpfulness.”
Washington, March 12.—Presi
dent Wilson today extended vvha
he termed “the hand of real help
fulness and brotherhood to Alas
ka,” when he signed the bill auth
orizing the expenditure of $35,000,
000 for the first government-own
ed railroad constructed by th
United States.
Secretary Lane, a group of sen
ators and representatives anc
members of the Seattle Chambe
of Commerce stood beside tin
president as he signed the act.
The president was in a happ}
mood, and in laying one souveni
pen aside to use another, smiling
ly remarked:
“I’ll change engines.”
When the bill had been signed
the president made a brief speech
Secretary Lane afterward had :
long talk with the president abou
the selection of engineers. It i
unlikely that Colonel Goethals wil
be through with the Panama ca
nal in time for the present under
taking, which Mr. Lane intends t
get into operation at once.
The secretary said the enact
ment of the railroad bill will h
followed by the passage of tin
Alaska leasing bill, which woul<
mean the carrying out of the ad
ministration plan for the depart
ment of’ Alaska in an incredibl;
short time. He added that an at
tempt would be made to gathe
the working force this year.

WESTBROOK FOR TREASURER
To The Voters of Independence County:
I want to be elected your County Treasurer, and if elect
ed I can fill the bond, though it is very large. 1 have been
a bad cripple almost ail my life, yet by industry and sober
habits, I have qualified myself to properly discharge the
duties of the office of County Treasurer.
I will be your servant, polite and kind to every one. 1
am 40 years old and cast my first vote in your county and
have paid taxes in this county ever since I have been old
enough. I have never held public office nor asked for one
before.
Being a cripple, 1 am not physically able to do manual
labor and need the office to make a living, for myself and
family. My opponent, also a cripple, has plenty, but with
out a family, has held this office four terms, besides having
held office in other counties in the state.
If I should be permitted to hold this office so long as my
opponent has held it I would have saved enough to keep
! myself and family the rest of our lives, and think my oppo
nent could have done so if he had been economical as a poor
man should have been, especially one not having a family.
Please give me your vote and personal influence, and 1
w will pay you back by making you a good servant.
I Very Respectfully,
| W. R. WESTBROOK

ONIONS FROM SEED
A correspondent to one of our val
ued exchanges gives the following
.Jan for raising onions from the seed:
I have been raising onions nom the
teed and making a success of it for
15 years. 1 live in southeast Arkan
sas and will give my methods and any
one who will try can succeed. The
most important item is early planting.
As soon after Christmas as possiule
to have the land in good shape 1
plant. Select a good fertile piece of
land as free from weed seeds as pos
; ible; broadcast it with stable ma
nure, chicken droppings, etc., and
plow and harrow it thoroughly. It
is very essential to make the soil rich
and mellow. Lay off 18 inches aftort
and plant seed at rate of one ounce
to every 100 feet of rt)w. Cover the
seed lightly and use a light seed rol
ler to leave the rows smooth and nice.
If a few radish seed are dropped
along it will serve to keep the rows
marked until onions come up, which
will be in two or three weeks.
The first workings will be by hand.
If you have no hand-weeder an iron
spoon makes a good one. Never let
the weeds get ahead, at the second
working thin to three inches apart in
rows and apply a light, dressing of
some commercial fertilizer or cotton
seed meal, working it. in well; keep
ground loose and mellow and weeds
down and you will have fine large
onions. That, will keep much better
than onions raised from sets. They
are as easy to raise also, with the
exception of the first hand-working,
as to varieties. I find that Yellow
Danvers and Hod Wethersfield are
the best for this climate. I sometimes
plant Silver skin for a white onion
but it is liable to mildew and does not
give the profit of the first two men
tioned. When the tops begin to die
down pull up and leave In rows to
cure but do not let (hem get wet;
spread on a floor in a cool place and
do not. lop them until ready to sell.
They bring $1 per bushel all the time.
I always sell >-opn after gathering as
there is always then a scarcity of on
ions since there are no Northern on
ions ,.n ‘he mark-:' rt -that time. It
Is best to order your seed of a relia
ble seedsman as there Is no crop
grown in which the seeds count more
than in onion raising, good land, good
seed, early planting and good culti
vating, will raise fine onions. In this
climate thev must be made before
tune or the hot sun will kill the tops
down, leaving you "sets’* instead of
P”o onions Plan* good seed and
plant early and you can raise fine
'nions in the South from black seed

The Last Charge
Then the Victory
Friends, look out, on the eve of the election you may
look for all kinds of campaign lies to defeat me for Prose
cuting Attorney. Pay no attention to them. Someone has
said a number of times that in order to defeat me they
would “have to get up SOMETHING.” DON’T BE DE
CEIVED. Stand firm till the battle is over and the peo
ple will be victorious, and as your servant, I will have one
law by which my feet shall be guided: “DO UNTO
OTHERS AS YOU WOULD HAVE THEM DO UNTO
YOU.” Then you shall have an honest and sober adminis
tration of office. Prosecutions, not Persecutions. “Regnant
Populi,”- Let the people Rule.
Yours at Command,
