C., WILLIAMSON Osage Township THE MAN FOR THE PLACE. In the making of a choice of a Governor for Missouri, and the time is not far off, there are many things to be considered, but of all, the most important qualifications | are honesty, intelligence, ability, and a technical, first hand knowl- edge of the affairs of the State. The intelligent voter, the citizen with the best interests of his State at heart will not now, of all times, allow the issue to be clouded with fantastic schemes and promises. Neither is it a time for experiment | :t merely to gratify the ambition of any man, no matter how success- ful or wealthy whose fitness for gubernatorial service -is an un- known quantity. All the Democratic “aspirants for governor have the first two qualifications of honesty and in- telligence ; séveral of them are in- disputably able gentlemen; but, in the matter of the Kitowledge of the State’s affairs, one man, the present Secretary of State, stands out as one with probably a more intimate knowledge of the details of the State government and the needs of the State, than any man in public life. The service he has rendered the State is a model of honesty, effi- ciency, economy and intelligence. He has proved his qualifieations to make good as chief executive. He is known all over the State, and his fitness is unquestioned and Missouri needs his technical NEW PUMPS $3.00 Black Patent Black Kid Black and, White Patent For the Children A Splendid Line $1.00 to $2.50 Babies 50c to $1.00 Have you seen the wpie Twins?

Big bus- iness opportunities kept accumu- lating. Along came war orders in late 1914 and early 1915 (follow- ing better railroad sentiment and the federal reserve banking act), and served as the match for the conflagration, which was already waiting. And having served its purpose, the match is practically consumed. Today it plays no more part in the great materials- consuming conflagration of indus- trial prosperity in this country than does the starting match play i: a huge and growing fire that has been burning over a_ year.

Porter, Breeder of Fine Live| Stock. | Col. J. Harlan Porter of West- ern Bates, was a Butler visitor Saturday and as is his custom called at the Times office. He told the editor that on Tuesday he received an extra well bred Ches- ter White gilt from the Thos. F. Kent herd of Walnut, Iowa. She is sired by ‘‘Iowa Progress’’ a re- served son of ‘‘Combination”’ the greatest living Chester White boar. Her dam is ‘‘Iowa Lucile”’ she by ‘‘Iowa Protection.’’ She is bred to ‘‘White Elephant’ a son of ‘‘Sweepstake’’ that fam- ous 1260 pound hog that won champion at Des Moines, Iowa, in 1912. With the breeding behind this gilt and the hog she is bred to Col. Porter certainly has the foun- dation for a herd of big time Cheg- ter White hogs and with- the surplus milk the big Holstein Friesian cows, which he recently purchased in Kansas, are furnish- ing at the Rambler farm there should be some good show pigs for the Butler fair this year. When Col. Porter goes in for a thing he goes for all he is worth. He had the finest chickens in Western Bates, then he went over to Kansas and bought some fine cows, and now he has embarked in the hog business. This Missouri Boy a World’s ‘Champion.
