POLITICAL ANNOUNCEMENTS.
The News is authorized to announce

as a candidate for the office of Treasurer
of Union County, subject to the action ol
the Democratic primary.
So many men are handicapped
by their beauty.
There’s, no harder work than do
ing nothing. Keep busy.
The man who is pleased with
himself is usually hard to please in
other ways.
It is to be noticed that the wild
oats crops seldom suffers from too
much water.
Most young mothers would rath
er have their infant wonders bright
than President.
German armies are now en
gaged in extensive travels, but not
entirely for their health.
‘ A mother of twenty-six children
attempted to commit suicide. Well,
it-wasn't race suicide, anyway.
We holler like all get out for
government by the people, and
then when election time comes
half of us don’t vote.
Why is it that a girl will act as if
she doesn’t want to be touched,
when she is aching to be crushed
in a man’s arms.
Victor Murdock thinks that Col.
Roosevelt has a chance to be elec-1
ted president in 1916. That
makes two.
Some are born famous, some ac
hieve fame and some smoke popu-'
lar brands of tobacco, and thus
break into print and fame,
Most people worry about their
financial obligations, but there are
a few who seem to take their debts
as a joke. It would be a fine thing,
perhaps, if everyone could look at
it so philosophically. Most people
however, take a debt as a> serious
obligation until they pay it. Oth
ers think the obligation lies with
the creditor.
Our country readers should and
will continue to increase their pur
chases of livestock for breeding
purposes, but we give one word of
advice. Don’t purchase any kind
of livestock until you are quite sure
you have made provision for feed
ing it. Better still would be the
advice not to buy the livestock un
til you have feeds on hand. This
is not advice against the best inter
ests of those who have livestock
for sale. If the breeder >or dealer
be wise he does not want to sell
breeding stock to any man who
fails to make a profit out o f it.
It is the easiest thing l<a the \world
to fill empty heads with l»ot air, and
It is done every day.—Me in phis (X 'm
mercial Appeal.
Easy Job.
