POLITICAL ANNOUNCEMENTS.
The News is authorized to announce
W. H. Matthews
as a candidate for the office of Treasurer
of Union County, subject to the action of
the Democratic primary.
Many people have said to much
before they really get properly
started talking.
Booze is on its last legs, and
they are shaky. The druggists
have cleared their skirts of its dirty
touch by refusing to include it in
the list of drugs and medicines.
Reliable druggists have not cared
to handle whisky for some time,
but thought they were compelled
to as long as it was listed on the
American drug list. In revising it
the last time, however, the com
mittee decided that the ancient
f .ke of calling whisky “medicine"
was no longer worth their support.
Hence, they put the ban on whisky.
The United States has its first
billion bushel wheat crop. A few
years ago such a total yield would
not have been considered possible.
A few years hence, we will be har
vesting two billions. There is
practically no limit to the agricul
tural production in this country.
A great acreage is not being tilled
at all, and upon what is being
worked, we are not raising any
thing like a maximum crop. Sci
entific handling of soil and mod
ern methods of crop production
will in the future steadily come in
to use bringing lands not thought
tillable under cultivation and tre
mendously increased yields from
the present cultivated acreage.
The few fellows who are enter
taining fears of not being able to
feed the increased population of a
hundred years hence are worrying
themselves unnecessarily. Culti
vated intensively and with the
highest degree of efficiency, Ar
kansas alone could feed twenty
million people and at the same time
keep on enriching its lands.
A NA1URAL ACT.
Wasn't it just like Helen Gould
Shepherd to adopt a five-year-old
waif as her own son? Doesn’t that
act of kindness rather fit into the
life she has shown to us for the
past twenty-five years? There is
just one bright, shining ray in the
lives of the Gould family—that is
Helen Gould, philanthopist of the
real sort, dearly beloved woman
friend of young men and young
vomen the country: over; a fitting
decendant of a father who, in spite
of his ruthless commercial piracy,
was a man of noble impulse and big
heart. And after considering what
a natural act it v/as for his oldest
daughter to take into her he art a
five-year-old boy who needed a
mother, just think how u nbecorning
such an action would bo for other
members of the family whose
names Charity forbids mentioning.
Imagine, if you can, Co unt Boni de
Castellane, a Gould bj • publicity,
adopting anything exct pt a bunch
of bad habits?

When Criticizing.
Many an unpleasant thing needs to
be done In a pleasant way. Teachers,
and parents, and people in business
life who are responsible for the work
of others must from time to tune
speak in criticism or point out how an
improvement can be made in the way
of doing things. Such a word of
criticism, or correction, or of sug
gested improvement can have the ef- j
feet of being either a shove down or
a lift up. It can come to the one ad
dressed as a slap in the face, or as a
hearty grip of the hand. The word
can be spoken with a disarming smile
of reassurance, or a hard and discour
aging look of condemnation. And the
heartening, lifting, smiling word of ad
monition or suggestion brings a hun
dred per cent better response than
the other sort; it gets the very results
that we are after, while the word that
antagonizes is liable to defeat the
whole thing. I>ove is a paying prop
osition; unlove Is a dead loss.
Live Stock Was Cheap In 1194.
Tl'.e increased cost of living, though
the increase is by no means so great
as we might have expected, lends an
interest to a volume just issued by
the Pijie Roll society. From the in
troduction one gathers an idea of
prices in 1194 Certain land was to
be stocked and a price for each class
of stock was fixed Oxen figure at
four shillings, cows a shilling less
Farm horses were also four shillings
a head, pigs were a shilling, and sheep
stood at sixpence. Incidentally the
book proves the antiquity of the fa
miliar fine of 40 shillings, for it re
cords its imposition as long ago as
1185 on one who had overthrown a
pillory.—London Chronicle.
Found.
Mrs. X. lost her cook and had tele
phoned in vain for another. Dinner
guests were expected and she was des
perate. Finally, putting on her things, j
she went out, and she hadn't gone
far when she met a neat-looking col
ored woman. She explained her
dilemma and the colored woman lis
tened in silence, then she said:
"Where do yo' live, missus?"
Seeing a ray of hope joyfully, Mrs.
X. gave her address, to be met with
the reply:
“Well, yo' jess go home an’ look in |
yo’ glass an' yo’ll see yo’ cook."—

This Deer Is a Trusty.
Mrs. Ada Kirkpatrick of Mission
Canyon, Cal., has a deer that refuses
to yield to the call of the wild. For
three years Mrs. Kirkpatrick has kept
the deer on her fenced-in ranch, where
It has been a delight to visitors. Each
night she has had the deer shut in a
smaller inclosure to safeguard the ;
nimble creature from harm.
Believing that the deer yearned for
the wild life the owner opened the
gates leading into the mountains. The
deer was off like a shot. But when
darkness came the deer was found
pawing at the inclosure gate.
Each night now for some time the
deer has returned to be locked up
-.iter roaming all day over the moun- j
tain range. Despite its freedom the '
•reature continues to be tame, and
tomes when its owner calls.
