Claims being made by Judge \V.
F. Kirby that he is entitled to
credit for the outcome of the state
rate cases, look very small when
exposed to the rays of light cast
upon them by Senator Clarke.
Senator Clarke has gone through
the 2700 pages of record in this |
case, and found only six questions
asked by Judge Kirby in all the
examination of witnesses.
Congressman Oldfield is now
going it alone as a candidate for
re-election. This is as it should be.
Mr. Oldfield has always made good
in Congress. He has been a bright
and shining light, has always re
flected credit on the Second Con
gressional district of Arkansas and
is just beginning to reach the zen
ith of his powers. You will always
find Billy Oldfield on the job. Dur
ing the present session of congress
he is very busy in Washington and
he feels that he can serve his peo
ple by staying in Washington look
ing after the business of the peo
ple better than he can by return
ing to Arkansas making speeches.

your doctor writes, names the
drugs and quantities he deems
best for the patient.
Unless the Druggist
fills the prescription exactly as
written he is undoing the

PRAISES RECORD
OF MR. OLDFIELD
Stone County Paper Says He Has
Always Proven Faithful to The
Interests of the People
The Stone County Record pays
our friend Billie Oldfield the fol
low ing vgry deserving compliment
in a recent editorial in that paper.
“Hon. W. A. Oldfield, the popu
lar representative of this Congres
sional District has a personal ac
quaintance with a large majority
of our people, and those who know
him best are his closest friends
and most ardent supporters.
“We have known Mr. Oldfield
since his early boyhood and have
been intimately acquainted with
his public record as a citizen, law
yer, Prosecuting Attorney and rep
resentative in Congress, and say
that we have never seen Oldfield
“weighed in the balance and found
wanting.”
inc oecunu congressional idis
trict has never suffered for lack of
an able representative in Congress
among whom we might mention
the polished, scholarly Brecken
ridge, the loyal statesmanly Brun
didge, and others just as able and
equally loyal, but search the cata
logue all the way, if you please,
and, among them all, you will find
none more loyal to duty than Mr.
Oldfield. Congress has not been
slow to recognize Mr. Oldfield’s
ability and as Chairman of the
committee on patents he has won
a nation wide reputation on ac
count of his investigation of abus
es of the patent laws, and his ad
vocacy of legislation intended to
correct the same. In this particu
lar he has been criticised by such
scientific publications as the Scien
tific American, and the criticisms
intended to reflect adversely on
Mr. Oldfield, only serves to place
him where he is always found—
the protector of the individual
against the combinations.
“Mr. Oldfield keeps in close per
sonal touch with conditions at
home and he knows that the
greatest hindrance to the develop
ment of the South is our dirt roads
or rather the absence of them. He
believes that all available means
should be used that the products
of the farm, the source of all
wealth, could be more easily and
cheaply marketed, thereby leaving
a profit in the pockets of the farm
er rather than to invest it in high
power guns or costly projectiles;
and one of his most cherished am
bitions is to see his Good Roads
bill become a law. This bill pro
vides for federal co-operative aid
in building public roads. Mr. Old
field, raised on a farm himself,
knows the value of good roads,
and also the disadvantage of bad
ones; and lie is, therefore one of
the most ardent Good Roads ad
vocates in Congress.
“Mr. Oldfield is in full accord
with the Democratic platform and
enjoys the acquaintance and con
fidence of President Wilson and
the membeis of his cabinet and
heads of departments, for “Billie”
was there when bis., new friends
came, and, as wre have said before,
this acquaintance fits Mr. Oldfield
to be of vastly more service than
i
is possible for any new member,re
gardless of ability. In voting to re
turn Mr. Oldfield to Congress the
voter has the satisfaction of know
ing that he is voting for a man,
true and tried, and also in the in
terest of his own fireside.
“All public servants have ob
stacles to surmount, and it is hard
to keep everybody in good humor
at all times. The only serious op
position to Mr. Oldfield we have
heard of has developed in Kates
ville over the appointment of the
postmaster, which is purely local
in. character and of no importance
to outsiders and has no legitimate
place i n the campaign.”

THE CORD SCHOOL
We have the finest school at Cord
You hardly ever knew,
T don't know just how many scholars, ;
But teachers we have two.
And they are sure tine ones,
We think so anyway,
They make us study hard,
But give us lots of time to play.
They say we are awfully good,
They don’t have to give us lickings,
And we want to thank,
Mr. Lindsey and Miss Pickens.
As that is who our teachers are,
That teach our village school,
And if any one disobeys,
To them they read the rule.
We have two nice large rooms,
The nicest you ever saw,
The big folks go up stairs,
And the small ones down below.
We have nice new seats,
Without a single nail,
To catch when we get up,
And tare off our coat-tail.
We had a little trouble,
It will hardly do to tell,
But all the people around Cord,
Understands it pretty well.
Some did not want the eighth grade !
taught,
But we all thought it was fine,
And thought that maybe next school,
We w-ould crawl on to number nine.
But that little trouble is over,
And we are very glad,
We don’t like to have school troubles
And don’t want our directors mad.
We have two basket bail teams,
And they are doing well,
When we practice a little more,
We’ll play some other teams a spell.
We have our fine society,
Every Friday afternoon,
And a great big entertainment.
We are going to have real soon.
So parents of all communities.
If you want your children trained,
Put them in Cord Public School,
And everything will be explained.
