I Told You So.
1 have warned the voters on ev
ery stump in the District to watch
out for a pack of campaign lies that
might be put out just before the
election, too late to be answered.
Just as 1 expected, W. S. Good
win has gotten out a 30 page pam
phlet in which he takes up? or 8
pages making charges against me
and has waited until he thought
that it was too late to answer
them.
Two years ago he did the same
thing and 1 stated in my pamphlet
gotten out five months ago that if
anyone believed any of them to be
true and wou’d come to my home
county and investigate and found
one word of truth in any of the
charges reflecting on me, in either
my public or private affairs, 1 would
pay their expenses and come down
and out of this race. (Seepage
10, first pamphlet.)
Did Mr. Goodwin send a com
mittee to my home county and
have an investigation made and
then confront me with it? No he
did not, but preferred rather to
wait until just before the election
and then flood the District with a
bunch of malicious falsehoods to
try to mislead the voters where he
had failed to convince them. •
The charges he has made in this
last pamphlet are the same charges
that were put out two years ago.
and I, here and now, brand each
and every one of them as being ab
solutely false, without foundation
in fact, put out for the purpose of
misleading you into continuing his
pay-check for two years more.
In order to stay in office he has
resorted to this, the lowest form of
latter-day politics, too little for a
man who claims himself to be big
enough to represent this District
in Congress. He hopes as a last
resort to ride back into office on an
Undercurrent of false impressions.
Notwithstanding this dope, being
sent out, I am sure we 'have the
race won by a large majority and 1
know my friends will work all the
harder because of the methods be
ing used against me.

GOODWIN’S OPEN LETTER
Washington, D. C., March 17, 1916.
lion. R. S. Warnock
Magnolia. Arkansas.
Dear Sir:—
Replying to ycur misstatements published in the papers of the district
I will 6ay that I am remaining at my post of duty at this time to lend my
a'd and support in passing the following measures:
A Rural Credits Bill to enable FARMERS ONLY to borrow money at
a low rate on long terms.
An Immigration Bill to restrict immigration.
A Ship Purchase Bill to destroy the Sh'p Trust now robbing the Cotton
I aisers cf Arkansas of FIFTEEN MILLION DOLLARS every year. I
c;n a member of this committee. You boast that life is too short for you
‘ to think of such truck and trash as that.”
A Government Warehouse Bill to enable farmers to store and hold
tl sir cottcn and secure loans thereon, being in substance a personal credit
Ir v and even breader than any rural credit law can ever be made.
The Rivers & Harbcrs Bill containing more than one miilion dollars
f r our district which will improve our streams, afford flood protection, and
1 educe freight rates all ever the district, compelling railroads to meet river
ra'es.
ire Bill to establish a system of markets to auord the producers a
r irket at a fair price for all their products end restore to them a large part
c the eighteen billion dollars which annually go to waste and to the pock
c.s of middlemen. . You oppose this bill cf mine which has been endorsed
bv all farmers’ organisations as well es the agricultural press of the country.
And last tut by no means least. TO MAINTAIN A MAJORITY OF
DEMOCRATS IN THE HOUSE AND TO ASSIST THE PRESIDENT
IN MAINTAINING PEACE.
Thousands of the people of the district, including many hundreds from
your County, have written me that they approve my course in staying where
my duty commands me. I held a ccmmissicn as their servant to execute
their wishes and to look after their, best interests during these perilous times.
I shall remain at my post of duty though the very heavens fall and if I am
to go down in defeat will do so with my face and not my back to the ene
mies cf my country.
You make a further misstatement about my misuse of the franking
privilege. That is pure bluff and you know it. I have violated no law. If
I have why don’t you go down to Texarkana or Little Rock before the Fed
eral authorities and have a warrant sworn cut for my arrest? As a law
abking citizen it is your duty to do this. Go to it!
Very truly,
W. S _ JODWIN.

ORCHARD AND GARDEN CROPS
No. 5.—The Home Garden.
i>v J. S. Knox, Extension Horticultur
ist, University of Arkansas.
No other area on the whole farm
will compare in value with the home
garden. If properly prepared, fertil
ized, planted and cultivated, a one
acre garden is easily worth $100.00 to
the farmer, and, if he counts in the
garden truck at the same price he
pays for It at the grocery store, he
will And that $100.00 is a low esti
mate of the crop grown In the gar
den. There are hundreds of homes
In the state of Arkansas where, ex
cepting possibly in early summer,
there is nothing to he bad from the
garden, and every year we are send
ing thousands of dollars to other
states to buy vegetables that should
be grown in our own gardens. We
do not need a better market for what
we can grow in a small garden than
that of supplying our own tables.
Location.-—In selecting a location
for the home garden the following
points should be considered: (1) The
Soil. In order to grow vegetables
that are of the highest quality it is
necessary to have a deep, rich, loose
and moisture-retaining soil. Vegeta
bles grown on a poor soil where
growth Is slow’ are very apt to be
lough and stringy or unfit for eating
purposes. The moisture-retaining
property is also a desirable one, es
pecially during the dry, hot days of
summer. Unless the soil is loose it
is very hard to get a stand of the
small seeded plants, because they do
not possess the necessary vitality to
push their way through a hard, crusty
soil, 'rtien, too, it Is very difficult to
cultivate small plants when the soil
Is compact or crusty.
(2) Site.—The garden should, if
possible, be located on a gentle south
or southeast slope. Such slopes are
more exposed to the sun and will
warn up some earlier in the spring of
the year. If there is considerable
slope and elevation It will be all the
better. I have noticed in several dif
ferent instances that vegetabels locat
ed on a slope are not killed so early
in the fall by frost as are those in
the level lowlands. It quite often
happens that we have a killing frost
early in the fall, and after that it
may be a month before we have an
other frost. This was true this last
fall, and the gardens on the sloping
places could therefore be used to ad
vantage some weeks later. (3) Near
ness to water supply. If an abundant
supply of water can be had, it is so
much the better. Considerable water
may be needed in the transplanting
of the different vegetables. (4) Near
ness to home. This I consider a very
important factor, because gardens
that are located a long distance from
the home seldom receive the attention
they deserve. The garden should, if
possible, be located near the home, so
that it will require only a few steps
for the housewife to gather the day’s
supply of vegetables.
Seed.- Too little stress is generally
laid on the importance of good seed
for planting purposes. No matter how
ideal the soil, climate, site, rainfall,
etc., one cannot get best results when
only half of the seed gejpiiiniite. This
ran partly be overcome by sowing
twice as many seed as are necessary,
but the plants are also apt to lack in
vitality. It is therefore a good idea
to test garden seed before planting,
or at least to get them from some re
liable seed house. Any farmer can,
within a very short time, prepare a
seed tester at home. The following
kind is very satisfactory:
Take an ordinary dinner plate and
place on the shelf. Now take a piece
of heavy cotton flannel and wet it
thoroughly, put one end into the plate,
and onto this count 100 seed of the
kind which you desire to test. Now
fold the other end of the cloth over
this and press firmly, so as to bring it
in direct contact with the seed. Next
invert a second dinner plate over this
one and place the tester in a fairly
warm room, where the temperature
does not fall below 65 or 70 degre^g,
p. Keep the cloths moist for eight
or ten days, then remove the top plate
and the cloth cover and count the
number of seed that have germinated
(sprouted). The number that have
germinated will be the per cent of
germination. The above is a very
simple and inexpensive way of deter
mining whether or not your garden
seed are worth planting, and as It
can be done during the winter or ba
fore the planting season is on, ft
should always be dons.

To the Voters of the Southern
District:—
I was born and raised on a farm
near Columbus. Hempstead coun

atory rheumatism at the age of 10
years, and it was necessary to cut
off both my legs. Knowing that I
•would be a cripple through life, I
determined to overcome this mis
fortune. and 1 set out to work, to
live and to win. I was appointed
Court Stenographer of the Eighth
district, in which capacity I served
until 1 was elected Circuit Clerk of
my home county. I am now sec
retary of the Railroad Commission
and have made a special study of
this office and am familiar with its
every detail. I will give my entire
time and attention to the office and
discharge faithfully and well the
duties thereof.
1 sincerely thank you for any
thing you may do in my behalf,

lo the Democratic Voters of the 7th Con
gressional District:
The 7th Congressional race is
drawing to a close and 1 wish to
assure my friends that from infor
mation coming from every part of
the District. Victory is ours. 1 re
ceived 8.COO votes two years ago
and that numwer will nominate this
time with four candidates in the
field. The loyal friends I made in
that campaign are fighting for me
in every county and thev assure
me that I am much stronger now
than 1 .was then and that my vote
will be increased everywhere.
1 have made an honorable race,
discussing issues and issues only,
while my opponents have discussed
me. They utterly failed to tear
down my platform, so they are
making every effort to break me
down by trying to prejudge you
against me.
Remember the Association of
Banks and the large Saw Mill Land
Corporations are fighting me and
standing solidly behind W. S. Good
win. They feel that if they can
defeat me, this time, that my plat
form. which has become so popular
throughout the District, will go
down also. Will you let them mis
lead you?
Remember Goodwin is staying in
Washington waging a powerful
campaign at Government expense
which will cost the*taxpayers be
tween ten and twenty thousand
dollars. At the same time he has
little a "slick politician" at home,
one Harry Stuart, who is running
around trying to organize you.
Remember, too. that neither
Bush nor McKnight is a factor in
this race and that most of the talk
for them comes from Goodwin.
The ballot is the mightiest
weapon that you havQ at your com
mand and 1 believe that you will
rise on the 29th, go to the polls
and win a victory for pri.nciphs.
Again assuring you of m.y confi
dence in you and my loya'ty to you,
I am, Your friend,
adv R. S. Warnock.
VICTORY
.Charles Hillman Brough
a man who has never refused to support the Democratic nominee, a man who stands for constructive
administration, a man who has character which withstands the underhanded assaults made upon him
by desperate and unprincipled politicians.
EARLE W. HODGES’
tactics, instead of injuring Chas. H. Brough, called attention to Mr. Brough's eminent qualifications
for the office and thus rallied to his standard the fair-minded, liberty loving people of Arkansas, who
insist upon an aud:t of state books,
Chas. H. Brough Has Been Winning
votes every day since the campaign started; he has made tremendous gains in the past two weeks.
His opponents are making Dr. Brough more votes in every county they enter. The people see the
difference and his popularity grows by leaps and bounds.
Judge Smith Was After Pie in 1900.
Judge Smith claims he is a “POTLICKER” candidate. In years gone by he was a “PIE” candidate.
The Republicans of this state are always after pie. Judge Smith wrote a letter to H. L. Remmel, a
well known Republican, tellig him he was going support him and not Jeff Davis, the Democratic nomi
nee, in a geneaal election. The letter was published in many papers. Judge Smith admits he wrote
the letter. He was after pie and potlicker both at that time.
Charles II. Brough is the Candidate
who will rescue the government from the ring, the man who will break up the nest of politicians who
have fed and waxed fat throught State Capital connections these many years.
Reports from all sections of the State indidate that Dr.
Brough will be nominated with a majority of
40,000 and that he will carry at least
65 of the 75 counties in Arkansas
A last word to my supporters—BE SURE TO VOTE—
my majority will be so large the nomination
cannot be stolen from me.
Charles H. Brough
