We've been preaching for sev-
eral years, that "It pays to ad-
■ vertise" but like all other
- "preachers^ have failed to con-
r vert everybody. Merchants
i) will t4lk as tho they thot they
J were doing an act of charity
\ when they give the newspaper
I man an ad and look at you as
J tho they thot "It isn't doing me
? any good, but I'll help you that
much." We want it strictly
'' understood that we don't want
anybody to give us anything.
% You are getting returns for ev-
ery penny you spend with us
and if it isn't worth anything
to you we don't want your mon-
ey. The newspaper business is
like everyhting else, we have
something to sell—space. The
purpose of this space is to tell
to the people who live in your
, trade territory what you have
to sell and at what price, and if
our talk to EIGHTEEN HUN
DRED people in this one coun-
ty isn't worth 15 or 20c an inch
you just try paying several peo-
ple to talk that much to that
many people and See what it
costsyou. It takes experience
I- and tact to talk to that many
people on th& same subject and
make it interesting and profita-
, We. That's our business and
we guarantee to give you your
money's worth. A large busi>
ness house in one of the cities
of the U. S. sued a daily news-
paper of their city for $1000.00
for one days business for over-
looking an ad that should have
appeared in an issue of that pa-
* per. They claimed to have lost
several thousand dollars worth
of business because the ad fail-
ed to appear. Their expenses
were the same as on all other
days, but the out-put of goods
•fell short several thousand dol-
lars. It looks as tho that busi-
ness house thot it paid to adver-
' ; tfee. If it pays them, why not
1 you? We talk advertising be-
i cause we believe in advertising,
and so would you if vou gave it
a fair chance. The live business
man, the man, who keeps up
with the times and makes his
business pay,, is, the man who
advertises. How are people to
lenow where you are and what
you have to sell unless you tell
them of it. and how are you to
tell them without the newspaper

AUSTIN FOR DISTRICT
JUDGE
Criminal Court of Appeals, and
has entered the race for this
office. As much as I admire the
Judge, I see no good reason why
I should back up and out and
concede without an effort that
this high office belongs to one
man and that out of all the law-
yers in this District, he alone
can hope to obtain the consent
of his fellows to sit in judgment
at the bar of the Court. He has,
of course, made good and is cap-
able of doing so again. I ask
no friend of his to slacken his
friendship for Judge Mathews.
This is unnecessary. I would
rather add to his stock of friends
than to take one admirer down.
I conceive as the duty of any
candidate for this dignified posi-
tion that he should be fair-
minded enough to come before
the voters on his own merits as
a citizen, a gentleman and a law-
yer, and if, after all these mat-
ters are weighed out, he be
chosen, there will be no regret
on the part of himself or frirend,
and that may even jpe said as to
those who oppose him. In that
spirit only is my announcement
made,
I was born and reared near
Nashville, Arkansas. Attended
school there, at Arkadelphia,
Arkansas, and at Little Rock. I
was admitted to the bar at Cen-
ter Point, Arkansas, in August,
1901; Admitted in Greer County
Oklahoma Territory in Novem-
ber of that year, and have been
a citizen of Eldorado in what is
now Jackson County since 1903.
My practice has been at least up
to the average, and I am known
as a lawyer fairly well over this
part of the State. I shall be
glad indeed to Kkve my record
examined, both as regards trial
court and supreme court prac-
tice, and am willing that you
may rest your decision as to my
ability on what that record
shows.
I have always been a demo-
crat and am glad I have. I have
always believed in the highest
standard of private and public
morals, and invite your atten-
tion to my record in that legard.
I think you will conclude that I
have tried hard to live the life
of a Christian gentleman, and
as to the measure of my suc-
cess in that regard I shall leave
that to you on the judgment of
my friends and acquaintances.
I live in the District, have my
home therein, and all my ties
"are centered there, and while I
am not political character nor
favorite, having never entered
politics before, I feel that I am
entitled to your consideration
and if you should honor me
with the nomination and later
eleceion, you may rest assured
that I will not lower the stand-
ard of dignity or efficiency now
maintained in the office, and will
administer even and exact jus-
tice and make your court one
that every citizen may feel
pride in.
My time, my energies, and all
that I cay do will be devoted to
the highest interest of my dis-
trict, and I shall throw the door
of your court open for every
proper purpose, and will be at
home in the District, approach-
able and available at all times,
, when not called away on actual
s duty.

the voters of the district at the
primary election Aug. 6, 1918.

the Walthal Normal School,
Mississippi, in June 1^1. He
taught school 6ne yeart served

Clerk of Webster county. He
moved to Texas, Dec. 4, 1894;
served two years as deputy dis-
erict clerk of Corsicana, Texas,

which materially assisted him
in his study of the law.

practice of law here since that
time, and out of seven cases
that he has had in the supreme
court, only lost one.
The office of District Judge is
one of the most important of-
fices in the economy of the state.
The district court has jurisdic-
tion over all important civil
cases, and criminal cases of fel-
ony and of official misconduct.
The judge should have natural
as .well as acquired ability. He
must not only have the natural
ability but he must be a man
who has continually studied the

viduality of character that can

A LETTER FROM
SOLDIER IN CHINA
"7 -r ■ „
Somewhere in China,
December 18, 1917.
Now as a matter of fact lots
of people in the U. S. don't know
where China is, but we of thfe
U. S. Navy certainly can tell you
all about it, for we have seen
enough of it to know just what
is going on out here.
First, let me say that ten
cents is only the eleventh part
of a Dollar out here, and in fact
its not that, because you get
more than that, for the Native
Dollar here, for you see they
deal in two kinds of money here,
and they term it as Big and
Small money; and again it takes
all the way from 128 to 145 cop-
per cent pieces to make one dol-
lar, so you see one has to be a
regular adding machine to. keep
track of your money in a place
like China.
At first the Chinese appear
to be very amusing to you, but
it's because you don't under-
stand their custom, and the
longer you stay here the more
interested you become, and won-
der why some people went all
the way to Africa for Ivory,
when it wasn't in the least nec-
essary, for as a rule these Chin-
ese are solid Ivory from their
shoulders up. And what they
are going to do next they don't
even know, because their mind
changes more often than the
weather, and the Comic Section
of Happy Hooligan explains it
much better than I ever could.
Now of course you would like to
know if I can speak the language
yet. Well, not exactly, and I
know people that have been out
here 30 years and don't know
any more than they did before
they landed, because its useless,
for you can walk up one street
and they talk one language, and
in the next block its altogether
different, and the best part of
it is that they cannot under-
stand each other,- so you see if
you go 20 blocks and wanted to
purchase something in each
block, you would have to know
20 different dialects to do so,
then if you had to ask the traf-
fic Cop to direct you home, he
would say, "No Savy, I belong
Ning-Poo Chineman, no savy
Shanghai talk," and when you
ask a merchant if he has such
and such things, his answer
will be, "Yes" and after you
have grown tired of waiting for
him to get it, you ask where and
why he has not shown you what
you ask for, he will say. "Yes.
just now made a finish no more.
I had an occasion to dine at one
of the most exclusive native
Restaurants in the Orient, and
as Steak and Eggs was the best
eats on the Menu. I asked the
waiter if they had Eggs. He
said, "No got", then I asked if
they had Steak, and he said
"No got, but Steak and Eggs
have got." But after all its not
bad country with all its faults.
