Primary called for May Ist.
What's t>i« hum?
Announcements are in order.
Run for something
One of the best signs of spring is
the start of the tux receiver on his
rounds
Boys, join the corn club. But you
will have to hurry, as the lists close
April l&lh.
After an absence of several years
the "spriug fresh" has once again
been in our midst.
A primary on thirty days notice
is not whit we would call a “square
deal" to the candidates.
We will have a higher opinion of
our Republican brethren if they
aquelch Roosevelt and the third term
proposition.
Fishing time. And the slate game
warden says you can fish anywhere
you please, just so you get the con
aenl of the land-cwner.
Some teacher of Walker can pick
up $5 mighty easy and at the same
time do a splendid work in encourag
ing the farmer boys to enter the
boys corn club
Lest you forget, members of the
board of roads and revenue must lie
nominated at the primary of May Ist.
And every district must also nomi
nate a member of the county demo
cratic executive committee.
The worst feature about this early
primary is that we are going to miss
the watermelon treats of the candi
dates during the August court
Another time honored custom ruth
feeely c at aside by an irreverent
executive committee.
Five Million Inches of Pub
licity
Publicity in newspapers and mag
azines to the amount of 1,500,000
inches a year on tuberculosis and its
prevention is being given by the
press of the United States according
to an estimate issued by the
National Association for the Study
aud Prevention of Tuberculosis.
If all the publicity on t> berculoais
given by the press of this country
iu the year ending April Ist were
gathered in one paper, the National
Association estimates it would make
a paper of over 6250 pages. In the
last four years, during which time
an active publicity campaign has
been carried on, the National Asso
ciation estimates that over 5,000,000
inches or oyer 00 miles of press no
tices on tuberculosis have been pub
lished.
“Publicity is the very heart of the
educational campaign against tuber
culosis," says Dr. Liyingston Far
rand, the Exeautive Secretary of the
National Association. “Largely be
cause of tbe intelligent co operation
of the press, has tbe anti-tubercu
losis movement in this country been
able to become, as it is, the greatest
organizad movement of its kind in
the world. When tuberculosis shall
have become a rare disease, the
American press may justly claim a
large share in this gigantic achieve
ment."
Give The Tenant A Fair
Chance
As long as the landlord on the odc
hand, insiata that the renters won't
take care of anything; don’t ap
preciate a well-equippad farm and
won't and can't pay the rent on a
well appointed farm; and on tbe
other hand the tenant complains that
tbe landlord will not put the farm
in condition to enable him even to
make wages and asks so much rent
for a run down farm, with uninhabi
table hou ins and broken-down fences
that no tenant can make a uecent
living on it, they can never get to
gether and there will be little im
piovement in the condition of tbe
tenant or the farm. All agree that
there is too much truth in the ac.
c isations of each; hut all must also
Know that there are thousands of
cases where neithor picture reprt
senta actual conditions. The only
progressive, honest and profitable
way is for each to do his best to im
prove conditions by doiug his part
and rest assured that others will
generally meet him half wav and
give him about such treatment as be
merits.
It should at least appear plain to
the landlord that the beginning of
improved conditions must come from
him, as ho is better able to make the
stait. Ou the other band h< need
not expect a good tenant to stay on
a poor farm, maintained in bad con
dition; nor is a poor tenant likely
to fail to improve if given the en
couragement of good treatment.—
The Progressive Farmer.

Ed. Messenger:
I will endeavor to drop a few lines
to the Messenger, as it has been
some time since 1 last wrote. Wh< n
my last letter was written I was in
Comanche county, but I now am
located in Carter county, near Ard
more. I only want a little space to
let the boys see how things are
here.
Well, boys, it was a mighty hard
year here last year. Last year was
a total failure on cotton and feed
stuff. Money is scarce and no labor
to get. More on the move than I
ever saw. You can hear nothing
but hard times and socialist talk.
This state ia almost solid with social
ists but I don't think it is all the
way to prosperity. Boys, think two
times before you vote.
The spring is late and farmers are
behind bad here.
I will give my idea on local tax.
I can’t think it ia right nor just in
any way for one man to pay for
others schooling, 1 think it as just
for you to pay my grocery bill as it
ia for me to pay for you a cow for
you to feed your kids with milk.
I can't see how a man can think it
right, but I may be wrong.

MAHAN
Mall Carrier Confuses Dates And Ex
cites Community
Ed. Messenger:
Our little community usually
glides along peacebly with only
mauly labors, tillage of the soil and
harvesting of good crops to divert
our thoughts and attentions weekly
with the exception o' Saturdays, our
mail day; as we g t mail only once a
week, we look forward to that day
with pleasure and expectation —the
exchange of letters between our loved
ones, also our creditors, and as R ib
ertcollects and delivers mail along
the route between the postoflice and
bis home all are glad to see bis soiil
tug, happy face.
Recently Robert, presumably on
account of his uest girl, being so
anxious to see her, tried to prove the
calendar false and start out on his
journey for Uncle Sam a day ahead
of time.
All patrons along the route looked
in astonishment when they saw Bob
coming. Those who had calendars
rushed to consult same; some got out
their notch sticks and counted up;
still all looking askance. Some tried
to count back what they bad done
each day; still no explanation to the
mix up. Had Halley’s comet really
done some damage alter all or had
at last a decision been made to
build a new road up Pigeon moun
tain? Horrors, after reaching the
postotlice and after a half hour's at
tempt to convince him, Robert, half
in doubt and conviction, returned to
bis labors.
It's ail right, Bob; we have all
been in love and it affected us just
is bad, if not worse, so we don't
blame you at all but we would like
to know where she lives, also who.
OCCASIONAL.
A delightful appreciation of Joel
Chindler Harris and bis work, by
Mrs. Lt Bade (Jorbell Picket, is out

Oh, How I Itched!
XVhat Ions: nerve-racking days of con
stant torture—what sleepless nights of
terrible agony—ltch—itch—ltch, con
stant Itch, until it seemed that 1 must
tsar off my very akin —then—
Instant relief —my skin cooled, soothed
and healed!
The very first drops of D.D.D. Pre
scription for Eczema stopped that awful
Itch Instantly: yes. the very moment
D.D.D. touched the burning skin the tor
ture ceased. A 25c bottle proves, it.
D.D.D. has been known for years aa
the only absolutely reliable eczema
remedy, for It washes away the disease
Berms and leaves the skin as clear and
hcullhy as that of a child.
All other druggists have D.D.D. Pre
scription—go to them it you can't come
to us—but don't accept some big profit
substitute.
Put If you come to our store, we are
so certain of what D.D.D. will do for you
that we offer you a full size bottle on
this guarantee:—lf you do not find that
It takes away the itch AT ONCE, It
costs you not a cent.
