ynta-Buying and selling,

Scarcely day passes but that some
farmer comes into the Bulletin Office and
asks if any plan will be originated where
by the inordinate use of money in inffu-
encing voters in this county can be effect
ually stopped. These farmers are not all
Republicans, neither are they all Demo-
Gratis. They are representatives of both
great parties, but they are men who are
heartily disguised with the traffic which
yearly takes place in this county in the
citizenship of men. They begin to look
upon it as curse to have the county so
evenly divided politically, as it causes
candidates and their friends to put forth
every effort, dishonorable as well as hon.
orable, in order to succeed.
The size of a prospective candidates
pocket-book is inspected before his merits
and qualifications for the position pass in
review. This buying and selling of votes
has become such curse to this county
that some heroic effort must be made to
stop it. Within the past few years it has
grown until it has become an aggressive
evil and men have come to hold lightly
the sovereign rights of citizenship for a
few dollars and buy them for the sake
of personal and party supremacy. The
most important question before the people
of Van Vert county, is how to suppress

Not An Awfully Bad Business.

There is a young man here in New
York, says the Star, who dabbles somewhat
in artistic and literary pursuits, and who
occasionally buys and sells a picture,
Sometimes when he visits some of the in
terror cities he takes three or four pictures
with him, which he manages 10 dispose OF
at comfortable profit. The young mans
father, who lives in an eastern Ohio town,
and who has no sympathy with what he
terms the vagabond pursuits of this son,
often used to admonish him that he was
getting to be such an age that he ought
to settle down to "some legitimate bust
ness"
Really" he asked one day, "are you
making any money at all?''
ooh. | can't complain" answered the
son, | manage to pay expenses"
Soon after the young man unpacked his
valise and showed the old gentleman some
pictures he was taking on out west with
him. One of them particularly attracted
the father, who asked the price of it.
ooh, $500 for that, but ii you would like
to have it I'll make it $3.50"
The father gave check for that amount
and was greatly delighted with his pur-
chase.
"rm afraid, though, that you are not
making anything on that picture?"
ooh, yes, Pm making a fair profit on my
investment"
The next day, as they walked to the
train, the old gentleman said: " Now you
know l feel the greatest possible interest
in your affairs and your success. Tell me
what you made on that picture bought
from your
"On that picture made just 1925"
The old man was silent for two whole
blocks, and then he calculated: Well, it
