Sworn to and subscribed before me this 24th day

Democratic Nominees.
U. S. Senator:
James P. Clarke.
Congressman
W. S. Goodwin.
A SIGNIFICANT DEMOCRATIC VICTORV.
The sweeping Democratic vic
tory in Maine last week when that
state elected a Democratic govern
or. legislature and a congressman,
indicates pretty clearly that the
rising Democratic tide will sweep
the entire country in the congress
ional elections in November. "As
Maine goes so goes the country” is
an old saying and a true one.
Heretofore when the Republican
m ljority in this rockribbed Repub
lican state was cut down to 10,000
it has always indicated a Demo
cratic victory in the ensuing elec
tion. So when the entire Repub
lican lead is wiped out and a Dem
ocratic victory sweeps the state,
there can be but little doubt which
way the wind is blowing. If it had I
not been for the fact that Maine
was gerymandered by the Repub
licans, the Democrats would have
elected all four of the congress
men, or at least three out of four,
as the Democrat (McGillicudy)
was elected by 6.000 plurality and
the three Republicans were elected
by small pluralities, ranging from
690 to 1,800. Two years ago
Maine e'ected a Republican gov
ernor and the one Democratic con
gressman by 1,200. and this year it
elects a Democratic governor and
increases the plurality for the Dem
ocratic congressman from 1,200 to
6,000, which shows a fine increase
over two years ago when the Dem
ocrats elected 291 congressmen to
the Republicans 144. So it would
seem that the Democrats will again
cdptro'. the House by an over
whelming majority and increase
their majority in the Senate from
10 to possibly 25 or 30.
ABILITY, NOT QUANTITY, PAYS IN FARMING.
No farmer gets rich by the quan
tity of production. It is the price
he gets for his products and econ
omy and business judgement dis
played in management that makes
the farmer wealthy.
We cannot pass a law that will
increase the price of products or
reduce the cost of plowing the
land and marketing the crop. We
must depend upon factories and
transportation facilities for market
ing our products and upon improved
mechanical appliances and the
business ability of the farmer to re
duce the cost of production, and to
more intelligently market his pro
ducts. _
SOCIAL CENTERS.
The cPying need of rural Arkan
sas is social centers where our
young people can be entertained,
amused ancj instructed uncjer the
direction of cultured, clean and
competent 1 adership, where aes
thetic surroundings stir the love
for the beautiful; where art charges
the atmosphere with inspiration
and power, and innocent amuse
ments instruct and brighten their
lives.
To hold our young people on the
farm we must make farm life more
attractive, as well as the business
of farming more remunerative.
The school house should be the
social unit, properly equipped for
nourishing and building character,
so that the lives of our people can
properly function around it and be
come supplied with the necessary
elements of human thought and
activity. _
Many girls now-a-days suffer
from over-mothering. They are
never given a chance to help in the
slightest degree with the running
of the house because mother sees
to everything. They never do th»
least bit of sewing or knitting 01
mending for themselves because
mother says: "1 don't think you
can do that, dear, I’ll do it for you."
At every step they are over
shadowed by their too energetic
mother. Consequently they grow
up ignorant of the domestic arts.
And in after years no one Laments
their incapacity more than their
mother. But, though she acted
with the very best intentions, it is
really her fault.—Ex.
The war is costing England at
the rate of $44.80 a second, which
is slightly in excess of the cost of
running a country newspaper.
Fill your lungs with air and ycur
brain with knowledge and your
pockets will fil' themselves.
Gold is the only circulating me
dium in Europe, but it isn't doing
much circulating.
It takes a strong minded man to
admit he is in the wrong when he is.
Luck is to be found in pluck, and
in mighty few other places.
Lots of people give advice who
haven’t any to spare.
After some men start they are
I too lazy to stop.

GREAT QUALITY IS “FACULTY”
Simply Means the Turning of All
Things to Proper Account, But It
Is a Rare Possession.
Among the most pitiable and often
the most hopeless factors of city pov
erty are Its ignorance and helpless
ness. Poverty, for a time at least, is
not snch a terrible thing to the woman
who knows how to make every cent
she can get serve the needs of her
family to the utmost,. In Mrs. Stowe's
novels of New England, one of the
feminine qualities most lauded is “fac
ulty.” It means the ability to turn
every smallest bit of material to the
best account. Mrs. Stowe herself was
terribly poor before “Vncle Tom's
Cabin” was written, and she knew how
valuable “faculty” could be. Some
how or other one does not associate
such poverty as that of the Stowes,
In their Cincinnati and Maine days,
or that of the hundreds of New Eng
land families which have sent sons to
college on incomes less than that of
a motorman in Brooklyn, with the
poverty for the relief of which so
many organizations are created In the
city. One reason is that the country
families commonly had a garden and a
chicken house from which they could
raise a considerable part of their food,
but a greater reason is that the coun
try women were trained to get the
last ounce of nutriment out of every
bit of food and the last shred of wear
out of every bit of clothing. The story
of the New England woman who made
herself a “go-to-meeting” silk dress
from the pieces left from the dress
making of her more opulent relatives
is pathetic in one aspect of it, but It
was proof of a faculty which could
have faced the poverty of a city tene
ment undaunted.
DAY OF THE SMALL INVESTOR
Wiser Than the Speculator Is He Who
Puts His Money Into Bonds That
Work for Him.
Of course, there are those who like
to run the risk of speculation. Not In
frequently some one writes me that he
has a certain amount of money with
which he would like to speculate and
that he will not complain if he loses.
I don’t encourage speculation, because
I am not a believer in it, yet I recog
nise that man is a born speculator.
One will speculate in real estate, an
other in cotton, corn, oil or cheese.
The woman who goes to the bargain
counter and, because something is
cheap, buys it, though she does not
need It, expects that she will need it
some day and she takes that chance.
In other words, she speculates.
In these days when $100 bonds of the
best kind are so freely offered, and
when a person can buy a single share
of the most profitable railroad and in
dustrial corporations just as readily
as a big Investor can buy 100 or 1,000
shares, it is not surprising that there
are more small investors than ever be
fore. They are scattered all over the
country. Many a farmer, clerk or
workman in the factory has quietly
stowed away a few shares of stocks
or a few $100, $500 or $1,000 bonds.
They are working for him night and
day and paying him his interest regu
larly every six months and thus add
ing to his store.—Jasper in Leslie's.
Cured of Fear of Death.
A personal experience of what it
feels like to be near death befell me
one day when out cycling, relates a
writer In an exchange. While going
down a very steep hill on a muddy
day, my bicycle "ran away” with me.
I knew that at the bottom of the hill
there was a high brick wall, and if
I crashed into this, which seemed in
evitable. death was certain. When
first this idea entered by brain, the
feeling of fear was terrible, but after
a very few seconds the terror dis
appeared and in its place was a feel
ing of intense expectation of a very
pleasurable kind.
“In a few seconds I shall be dead,"
flashed through my mind. "What a
glorious experience it will be?” Hut
the experience was not, of course,
realized. Before reaching the wall the
bike skidded and threw me heavily to
the ground. That sudden shock
brought me quickly “back to earth"
in more senses than one, but ever
since then I have never had any fear
of meeting death.
Chinese Flea Trap.
A flea trap is in general use in Sze
chuan. It consists of two pieces of
bamboo, one inside the other. The
outer is about a foot in length and two
and a half inches in diameter; it is
longitudinally fenestrated. The inner
bamboo is of equal length, but only
about an inch in diameter. It is kept
in position by means of a short wood
en plug. The Inner bamboo is coated
with birdlime or the like; the outer
bamboo Is protective. The trap can
He placed under bedclothes, among
rugs and so forth; any fleas that go
through get caught on the birdlime.
The trap might be of great value in
connection with plague epidemics.— [
Doctor Hindle, in Knowledge.
Not So Awful.
Complications are bound to arise
where a deaf man is concerned. The
one in this story was being married,
and the parson asked the usual ques
tion. ‘‘Do. you take this woman for
your lawful wife?”
"Kh?" said the deaf man.
"Do you take this woman for your
lawful wife?” This time a bit louder.
The groom seemed to ^et angry.
"Oh. I don't know," he said; "she
ain't so awful. I’ve seen ,wus than
her that didn't have an much mnnev."

are ready.” This, the only statement
Rear Admiral Charles J. Badger, com
mander-tn-ehief of the. Atlantic fleet
had to make as his ships steamed out
of Hampton Roads for Mexico, was
made public by Secretary Daniels to
be added to "the splendid wordB by

In the battle of the Bon Homme Rich

An appeal for popular support of the
navy was voiced by the secretary.
The navy now has its full quota and
for the first time It has a waiting list,
the secretary said.
Speaking of hie recent order abol
ishing the wine mess, the secretary
said there was no body of more tem

than American naval officers. He
asked his hearers whether they would
not demand the abolition of a wine

such a thing.
DOES SMOKING AID WRITERS?
French Authors Hold Cigarette Never
Has Been Aid in Producing
Compositions.
Paris.—Is smoking a help to liter
ary composition?
Emile Faguet, the academician, who
is an inveterate smoker, thinks not.
“I smoke a great deal, but I do not
believe that it does any good. I even
think it may do harm.” I
Andre Theuriet, the novelist, who
alternates between pipe and ciga
rette, says: “I have never found that
the habit has the least influence on
what is commonly called inspiration.”
Pierre Loti shares his colleague's
opinion:
“As far as I have observed, the use
of the cigarette has n*> effect what
ever on my faculties.”
Among smokers who are members
of the French Academy, Maurice
Iiarres is not averse to a cigar, while
Paul Hervieu considers the habit aa a
vice and a weakness.
MANY DRINKERS IN GERMANY
Head of Women’* Association Against
Alcohol Asserts Women "Like
to Go on Solitary Sprees.”
Rerlln.—There are 400,000 drunkards
in Germany, of whom 40,000 are wom
en. This was the declaration made
by President Frau Gerken at the meet
ing of the Berlin Women’s association
against alcoholism. Frau Gerken said
that there were between 2,500 and
3,000 woman drunkards in Berlin
Speaking of the psychology of drunk
ards Frau Gerken said, that while men
were fond of noisesome companion
ship in drinking, women drunkards
tried to conceal their failing and were
addicted to "solitary sprees.” In most
cases, she said, heavy drinking among
women was due to sickness, unemploy
ment, loss of standing and despon
dency. She said it was more diftfc-ult
to c9te and restore a woman than a
man.
