JACKSON TP., NEWTON COUNTY. Winter wheat, farmers say, is unusually promising. The acreage, however, is small. The first buckwheat cakes, under Wilson’s administration, have made their appearance in this section. Mr. and Mrs. James Saylor will try the west next spring. They are talking some of locating in lowa or perhaps in Colorado. A movement for cleaner politics is something that is always in order, and the Work should not be confined to any one particular party, either. You can do lots of good during 1914, and. by the same token, you can do lots of harm. Think it over, brother, don’t take our word for it altogether. Eugene Kirk is delivering 1,000 bushels of corn at the Lawler ranch, north of Morocco. Under these “terrible democratic times” Gene is getting 60 cents a bushel for his corn. For the first time in its history Jackson tp. has a colored child attending public school. She is a protege of Henry Jordon, also colored, and is said to be unusually intelligent. I We note that certain republican newspapers are roaring like the oxheaded god of the ancients over the

prospect of a panic. Dun’s Review, however, gives the business .outlook as being good. It would appear that there are still a few fur-bearing animals in northern Newton county. We are informed that Lewis Guthrie, of Colfax tp„ sold sixty dollar’s' worth of fur the other day to one dealer. Andrew’ Elis, the prop and stay of democracy in Newton county, tells us that he is against all political bosses, regardless of race, color or previous condition of servitude. Yes, yes, just like old Andrew Jackson. And now the Taggart-Fairbank Wing of the democratic party in this state has stopped reading the Indianapolis News. If the “wing” is looking for a political organ for 1914 why not give Jaynes' almanac a chance? ' 7 William Kessler, of Morocco, has had men and teams at wmfk for the last month, hauling lumber from his ranch in Jackson tp. This has been no small job as- there was about 100,000 feet of lumber, and heavy oak timber at that.

News item: “From all parts of the country comes the news of renewed activity in all lines of business and in manufacturing since the new eurrrency bill was passed.” Say, now, what’s this? Haint we goin’ to have no panic after all? Huh? It is related that a resident of Colfax tp., w’hile in Chicago recently, w’ent to the theater. At the close of the third act and feeling the need of a little liquid refreshment, the man approached the manipulator of tickets and asked for a pass.. “We give no tickets to those going out.” said that personage, perhaps scenting a little fun. “but I can give you the pass word and that will do just as well.” “Well, let’s have her,” requested the thirsty resident of Colfax. “Idiosyncrasy,” whisnered the seller of tickets. “Let’s have her ag’in. partner,” begged the son of toil, “I didn’t quite ketch her.” “Idiosyncrasy,” repeated the man at the window. “I-d-i-o—. Well, I recken I'll just stay in,” said the resident of Colfax, as he started to regain his seat. “Too darn much pernounciashun in that thing fer me.”
