The Haydn Vested Choir Have Surprises in Store
Hon. C. W. Herod for Congress.
Two years ago Hon. C. W. Herod
was a candidate before the Democrat-

ardent supporter of Woodrow Wilson,1 * O ; * vw*
whose firm stand for humanity has
won for him the admiration and con-
fidence of the Christianized World.
Mr. Herod has been active in the
councils of the democratic parly, since
coming to Oklahoma, moro than 22
years ago, and has been one of the
most liberal contributors to the sup-
port of its campuigns; always ready
to "give up" in the interest of his
party and its candidates. He is a
vigorous campaigner and has g.von
much of his time and erurjr;i03 in that
way, and to those that do not Know
him so well as the writer hereof, we
vouch-say that, if you will name him
as the decocratic candidate, he will
make a personal effort for election
that will meet with your admiration
of the man that he is. He is thorough-
ly posted on the issues and will make ]
a winning campaign.
In submitting the candidacy of Mr.
Herod, he has requested the writer to
say, that he wishes his friends to
know that it is a physical impos-
sibility for him to see in person the
rank and file of his party who will
participate at the coming primary,
and realizes that he can be success-
ful only through their activity, and
to those who believe that he would
have a fighting chance as the demo-
candidate, to dethrone the

WILL SOON TELL THE TALE.
The county primary campaign that
was moving along so quiet and unin-
terestingly has a new phase to the
situation the past week and this. You
can see the candidates on most every
hand working like beavers. The
smallest public gathering is not being
overlooked and it's a pretty clean
capaign all the way through. No one
seemingly taking any undue advan-
tage of the other.
The Democrat has observed the pol-
icy that the primary is a free for all
race, and we have tried to avoid giv-
ing any one more publicity than the
other; considering the people alone
have the right to select who will be
their party standard bearers. The
party lines will be drawn after the
primary. We want to use what in-
fluence we have for clean politics and
believe the majority want it that
way.
We hope to be able next week to
give the complete returns and as the
lineup is we will stand by the admin-

It is surprising the relief this splendid foot powder affords tired,
aching, perspiring feet.
During the warm weather most of us do a lot of walking and that is
why you should give Tread Easy a trial now.
We can assure you that having used this relief you will want it handy
always.
Simply shake it in your shoes and forget your foot trouble.

from Texhoma, Monday, and made a
trip out in the Eva country, letting
the people up that way know he was
in the race with full intentions of
winning the nomination. Mr. Winney
came within one of getting the nomi-
nation for assessor two years ago, and
if that had been given him he would
have polled a better vote than did the
nominee who let that office slip to the
republican candidate.
Hon. E. J. Earle, candidate for rep-
resentative is meeting with consider-
able encouragement in his race for the
nomination on the democratic ticket
August 1st. As the fellow would say,
he has been there and tried. If he is
nominated his election is pretty sure.
And when down in the center of the
state where politics has three hem-
orrhages per day, seven days in the
week and fifty two weeks in the year
and the "mile per diem" is carefully
looked after, he will stand hitched
for what is right as long as the next
one.

carried a colored trooper returning
from service down in Old Mexico. This
colored gentleman was one of the
very few that came out of the Caran-
za trap where the U. S. soldiers was
so greatly outnumbered and killed.
He was pretty free to answer ques-
tions to one of two who had ap-
proached the car where he was lean-
ing out the window, and from what
your reporter's ear could gather was

hotel last spring.
W. S. McNabb, wife and daughter
returned home Saturday from a trip
to Ft. Worth, Texas. Mrs. McNabb
and daughter had been visiting in
Texas for some time and Mr. McNabb
went down, staying a short while,
accompanying them home.
Mrs. S. S. Hunt and son, Kenneth,
came Friday from Aransas Pass, Tex-
as, where they had been living since
leaving Guymon some years ago. Mrs.
Hunt will remain here indefinitely
with her daughter, Mrs. Joe M. Dean,
and Will Hunt at Texhoma.
Judge and Mrs. S. C. . Tyler r«-
turned Saturday from Boston, Mass.,
where they had been for some time.
They had a pleasant visit east and

business here and at the ranch in

J. C. Smith the well known farmer
out west of Camp in the northwest
part of the county, was a business
visitor in town last Saturday. Mr.
Smith's cousin, J. L. Menninger, came
in with him. Mr. Menninger and wife j

A two line local last week in these
columns did the work for a home ad-
vertiser and we like to tell you about
it so that you may reap the same ben-
efit others are getting. We do not
claim it infallibly certain, but the
chance is well worth the price. To
sell a thing it is first essential to offer
something that people are going to
want, second, when priced, it should
be offered at a fair price to induce the
party to buy; not convincing him that
vour aim is to speculate. And above
all have the notice worded explicitly
truthful and do not be ashamed as
the politician would do in failing to
sign your name; you can better look
after your own business than to in-
trust it to some one else, and besides,
the person wanting it might give up
the chase by having to inquire of one
or more simply to find out who's got
it. Only 5 cents per line each inser-
sion, is our rate; count six average
words to the line and you know how
to remit with the copy. As your
banker would say: "This is safe and

DO YOU NEED A
NERVE TONIC
9
Nearly everyone needs a good nerve tonic occasionally. This is es-
pecially true at this season when the warm weather has taxed the ner-
vous system to the fullest extent. To overcome this condition take :
NYAL'S CELERY NERVINE.
It will quickly overcome that run-down, nerve-racking condition by
nourishing the nerve centers, enriching the blood and toning up the di-
gestive organs. It is pleasant to take and quick in action. ::
Especially good for women and children.
PRICE $1.00.
