TRIBUNE-PROGRESS. MOUNTAIN VIEW. OKLAHOMA
W. L. ALEXANDER
GOVERNOR
mm
This is a new epoch. The world is at war and al! of us want to win
this war. The world has changed. It demands results. The day when
a chautauqua lecturer or a political spellbinder, obligated to nothing but
his own ambition, could go forth to win votes by the sheer force of prog-
ress, is past, Ifre need men of experience. We need men who have
done more than be candidates for office; who have no record other than
that of try and promise. Our candidate is seeking the position of Gov-
ernor because he knows the needs of this State and what is expected of
him when elected.
We solicit your support of his candidacy in the full faith it will inure to the benefit
of Democracy and to the honor of this State. We believe him to be the most fully
equipped man who has aspired to be Governor of this State. Unostentatious and a care-
ful student of governmental affairs; of wide experience, in the very prime of life, he is
willing to serve to the fullest capacity. He comes before the people of this State endorsed
by all classes of upright people from his home county, the men who have known him so
long and so intimately.
A candidate of the masses, hi9 race for place is not dependent on party bosses of
class consideration. His appeal is made direct to the Democratic yeomanry. His litera-
ture is not censored by a board of bosses. If chosen Governor, his obligation will be to
the public at large, and not to a political ring. No one bequeathed him the governorship;
no one drafted him to become a candidate; no organization “declared for him;” he is a
candidate for the Democratic nomination for Governor on his own account, soliciting the
support of all Democrats on his merit and his record of efficiency shown in whatever
position he has filled.

WHITE LEGHORNS FOR SHOW
Main Polnta Are That Fowls Should
Be Snow White, Free From Color
Foreign to Variety.
In exhibiting Leghorns the innJn
. points are that the birds should he
white—that Is to say, snow white, with
due amount of luater and free from
brassiness, creaminess, "greenness" (a
term usually referred to the immature
condition of the feather commonly
.found In young stock), gray specks and
color foreign to the variety. The comb
In single-comb varieties should have
| fire points. The pullet should weigh
three and one-half pounds, the heu tour
• pounds, the cockerel four and one-half
(pounds Hnd the cock bird five and one-
half pounds. The ear lobes are re-
quired to he white, and should more
than one-third of the surface be cov-
ered with red in cockerels and pullets,
same would be disqualified, but this is
allowable In hens and cock birds.
Feathers other than white in any part
of plumage and shanks other than yel-
low would also disqualify the White
Leghorn. Other general disqualifica-
tions are as follows ^ The presence of
stubs, feathers or dowu on the shanks
or between the toes, side spring!, squir-
rel tall, etc.
COMFORTABLE FOWL IS BEST
Poultry to Do Well 8hould Not Be Ex-[
posed to Severe Weather In
Fall and Winter.
That farm flocks are often too much
exposed to the weather, and that the |
farmer would realize more from his
poultry if he did not allow them out-
doors during the full and winter, are,
without doubt, established facts, says
A. Smith of the Minnesota experi-
ment station. The Idea often advanced
that poultry can withstand any arnouut
or degree of cold weather provided it
Is dry. is not homo out by experience.
Poultry should not be exposed to ei-
thelr wind or rain In the autumn.
House the birds comfortably If you
Wish eggs. Keep them In the house
after the ground freezes. Let them
out only during the middle of the day
as a rale in the fall after the frost
comes. If you cannot tuke the trouble
to get them in early in the afternoon,
keep them in.

FLOUR CONSUMPTION
MUST BE REDUCED
The tTnited States Food Administra-
tion has issued a statement calling
upon patriots to reduce their con-
sumption of wheat flour to six pounds
per person per mouth.
This urgent call is made because of
the necessity of supplying our sol-
diers and our allies and to keep some
wheat for home consumption tint:I
harvest comes. Unless this advice is
hoeded a practical shortage of all
wheat flour will result before harvest.

At this time the supply of wheat is

Frish potatoes is the great bread
substitute. Save wheat. Let the spuds

kept the kaiser’s army well fed by
releasing the wheat hack of the 'ine.
We must make the spud a wale nia
