LOCO (Don Marius) The writer doesn't know of but one Loco weed but he knows of several ways by which one may get the virus. The democratic party got so thoroly inoculated with this crazy stuff just a year ago, there wasn' enough left of the "un terrified' to form a corporal's guard. Where they got it and who ad ministered it the deponent sayeth not. But that they got it and got it bad to their everlasting shame and to the humiliation of the Stand-patters" in the party can not be gainsaid. Some of these same pseudo dem ocrats had held office as the gift of the voters of the party they so traitorously deserted while under the influence of this drug.

November the'eleventh, Armis tice Day, is appropriately set aside as a national holiday, a day of rejoicing- These weak kneed democrats who so completely forgot their old party ties should set aside November second to clothe them splves in "sackcloth and ashes" dnd as a constants reminder of what consumate asses they made of themselves. Is there no cure for this politi cal Sure. The present ad ministration, unintentionally how ever, is administering an antidote in big doses every day the pres ent congress is in session that will eventually knock out this crazy bug juice that effects the crazy heads of the crazy democrats. Is there no danger of a relapse? Oh yes. The next political Moses that comes howling out of the wilderness these same half baked democrats will rush after him like a flock of sheep after an old bell wether.

But doctor we want an absolute cure. AH right, here it is. Bar these dissenters from party caucuses and party nominations for the next ten years. Yow! That's better. Sure.

So is your gall to come back this coming fall howling for recognition by the party you betrayed like a Judas. There has been some talk since the great defeat of 1920 of changing the Democratic Party emblem from the jackass to the monkey. The donkey was rediculous enough bat the monkey will be more so. This probably explains the suggested change. The writer has nothing else to do but remind these democratic deserters every year for the next ten of the "shot in the arm'-' they got from the Loco Doctor in 1920.

A dispatch of Oct." 29th from Washington City says: "Not since Lafayette visited Washington in 1824 has the national capital seen such a reception as was given Marshall Foch today." Save money on that sheet iron stove. Barth's. 4 A. V. Whitmer and son, of Alpine were visitors here for a few days this week.

Fruit: Apples, pears, bananas, Oranges and lemons at present. Next week will have cranberries, Central Meat Market. Thirty-Five Years Ago. From Hearld File, Nov. 11, 1886 The Herald of November 11, 1886 in speaking of the hotly contested election just held, says; "We have met the enemy, and he is ours by a large majority." In another items it says: "The effects of the election last Tuesday are already being seen and felt." The Orion Era published its last issue during this week, and the Herald makes the following announcement: Died At St.

Johns, Nov. 11th, 1886, of general debility, flatulency and an over dose of Equal Rights, the Orion Era. Peace to its ashes. "Name- ess here forevermore. Apache county gave Mark A.

Smith a majority of 276. Territorial Democratic ticket elected by about 1800 majority. In this issue of the Herald ap pears a short acconnt of a shooting scrape atCienega Maria, in which kelllinger was seriously Wouud- ed by a man named Lee Renfro. llinger died from his wounds ater, Getting out a newspaper is no picnic, lr we print OKes ioiks saSr we are silly; if we don't they say we are too, serious. If we publish original matter, they say we lack variety; if we publish tnings from other papers they say we are too lazy to write.

If we don't go to church, we are heathens; if we do go, we are hypocrites. If we stay in the office, we ought to be hustling for news; if we hustle for news, we are not attending to business in the office. If we wear old clothes, we are slovenly; if we wear new clothes, they say they are not paid for. What in thunderation is a poor editor to do anyhow? ike as not someone will say we swiped this from an exchange. So we did.

An exchange says: "We be- mi ieve in courtsnips. iney are fruitful. They keep the license bureau and the marrying parsons busy. They sustain the baby carriage and sundry similar in dustries. They also explain why the Census Bureau has to count the people once every, ten years, in iact, courtsnips are responsible for a lot of things.

there is any criticism cf court ing, it is criticism or tne way tne courting is done. For instance, when a fellow calls on a young ady night after night and stays until 11 or 12 o'clock, he is certainly under obligations to marry the girl or pay the light bill if there is one." Chamberlains Tablets Have Done Hsr a World of Good Chamberlain's Tablets have done me a world of good," writes Mrs. Ella L. Button, Kirkville, N. "I have recommended them to a number of my friends and all who have used them praise them highly." When troubled with indigestion or constipation, give them a trial and realize for yourself what an excellent medicine it is.
