In hoboes. In our last issue we noted
that he had captured several. During
this time eight have been added to tno

they do so and afe caught it means
thirty days real work, and as a general
thing they are somewhat averse to
this kind of labor.

All kinds of Goods, even the poor farmer's tobacco, cotton, wheat,
and everything else the farmer raises, or should raise, have gone up
so high until ordinary poor folks can't buy them. And still most of
them are grumbling because they haven't got as much of these things
as they should have. -
It looks like foolishness for a merchant to advertise to sell his goods
at old prices. Yet Hendrix is doing that very thing. Why? Simply
because he is anxious to get out of the goods Business. That is the
only reason in the world he is doing so.
Hendrix has a magnificent stock of all kinds of dress goods, shoes,
coat suits, cloaks, blankets and other winter goods, bought six months
ormore before the advance in prices. Customers who trade at Hendrix's
this Fall shall have these goods at old prices. Act wise and buy from
Hendrix. You will surely save money.
10c ginghams and domestics have advanced to 12 l-2c. Hendrix
is selling his at 10c. 10c percales are now selling at 12 1 -2c, and
12 l-2c percales are now selling for 15c. Hendrix is selling his at
the old prices. All 10c outings are now selling at 1? l-2c. Hen
drix will sell his at the old price of 10c.
Everything in Hendrix's store will be sold at old prices, except a few
silks, woolen dress goods and coat suits.
Come to Hendrix and get your supply of Winter
Goods. None better, none newer, and certainly
none as cheap in price.

DEMOCRATIC PROMISES
TO FARMERS FULFILLED
Benefits Under Wilson Set Forth in
Official Pamphlet.
The Democratic platform of 1012
made this promise to the farmers of
America :
"OfiU'Uual Importance with the
question of currency reform is the
question of rural credits or agri
cultural finance. Therefore we rec
ommend that an Investigation of
agricultural credit societies In for
eign countries be made, so that it
niuy be ascertained whether a sys
tem of rural credits may be de
vised suitable to conditions In the
United States; and we also favor
legislation permitting national banks
to loan a reasonable proportion of
their funds on real estate security.
"We recognize the value of vo
cational education, and urge Federal
appropriations for such training and
extension teaching In agriculture in
co-operation with the several states."
These pledges, with many other
services to the farmer, have been com
pletely fulfilled in the legislation of
the present Administration. The rec
ord of Democratic Performance Is of
fered In comparison with the Repub
lican record of broken promises to the
farmer, in nn attractive pnmphlet is
sued by the Democratic National Com
mittee. Copies have been furnished
to every Democratic State Commit
tee for free distribution.

Only Democratic Congressmen Appeal
ed for Action.
Congressman C. (V Dill, -of Wash
ington, cites the records of the com
mittee hearings on suffrage in Con
gress to prove that "the only Congress
men who have gone before the 'Judi
ciary Committee of Congress this year
to ask that a suffrage amendment be
oted upon have been Democratic
members." He adds that "no others
have appeared to ask for considera
tion of the measure. That Is, I think,
sufficient answer to any claim that
the Pemocratle Party opposed Woman
Suffrage."
This, record need only be supple
mented with the personal voting his
tory of the rival Presidential candi
dates to show who Is the real friend
of suffrage. President Wilson made
two trips from Washington to New
Jersey to register and vote for Woman
Suffrage when It was submitted in his
State. Candidate Hughes did not take
the trouble to register or to vote the
same year1 1915 when the suffrage
amendment was submitted In his
stute.
