A very prominent Democrat OF Bow
ling Green, whose business is such as
to give him u good idoa of the needs OF
the Co. remarked to the JOURNAL that
| If there was one Office the Republicans
should look after with more care than
another, it is that of Commissioner.
The speaker was very plain in his criti-
cism of the present board, his princi
pal charge being their inefficiency
which Of course, would be the natural
claim for u Democrat to make, but
there is much truth in the fact that the
Republicans being in the majority in
the county, owe it to the people to
nominate the stongest man they can
find. 1t is not matter OF his geo
graphical location in the county; no
matter to what faction he may belong
| (and there are factions in the county, no
matter how much some people may
wish to disguise it) and no matter what
business in which he may be engaged
it simply depends upon his general
knowledge of the requirements OF the
county; his business and executive abil-
| ity, and his steadfast honesty of pur-
pose. 1.-THE Republicans do not nomi-
nate such candidate and the Demo
Gratis can find one in their party, they
will nominate him and THE PEOPLE will
elect him. Will the Republicans think
of this and govern themselves accord.

Joe Baird is now at liberty and will
give his personal attention to his can
vas for the Republican nomination for
Clerk. While it is not customary for
Il newspaper to announce the publish
ers choice of candidates, we feel that
we are eXcusable for so doing in this
case. Every person who reads the
JOURNAL (and we are happy to say
there are Il large number who do sol
knows that our choice for Clerk is Joe
L. Baird and we feel it but due the OPP
posing candidate that we give our rea-
sons for our preference. L. c. Edgar,
the only opposing candidate, is an old
citizen of the county, an intelligent
man and gentleman in every respect.
He is. however, blessed with suffici-
ency of this worlds goods to place him
above the need of the Office he seeks.
Joe Baird was born and raised in the
county, and is also an intelligent and
and worthy gentleman. He is finan-
cially poor today and always has been.
He met with an accident when child
that necessitated the ampuGation of his
lei5 leg and which causes him to go
through life with one side of himself
supported with crutch. He studied
hard and worked through vacations in
order to graduate from the Perrys-
burg schools. He then went to work
during the vacations at anything he
could do to earn an honest dollar aid
afterward taught school until he saved
a small amount of money and then
went to Ann Arbor to study law. Dur
his time as teacher he walked many
miles through mud, snow, and all kinds
of weather and endured hardships and
trials that would have made many a
stronger hearted man dispair, for the
sake of fitting himself for an honorable
and useful citizen. He has not the
necessary money with which to con-
duct ''blooming" campaign, and as
he is citizen of Perrysburg, the
JOURNAL feels it has good, sufficient
reason for making known the editors
preference. Joe Baird will be nomi-
mated. Not simply because the JOUR-
NAL says so, but because we believe THE
PEOPLE feel that way, and We are sat-
istied they will never have reason to
regret their choice.

Catbirds, redbirds, woodpeclters and
even the despised jaybirds, are among
the farmers best friends. A writer in
aGeorgia exchange calls them the farm
ers' watchdogs. He says: Each one of
these little watch dogs is worth as
much to the farmer as a grown man to
whom he pays 80 cents a day and his
food. So are lizards and frogs. A liz
ard is Just us useful in the fields as Il
cat in the pantry. And these very
same little frogs that you boys love to
torment and kill are sent to Australia
from Europe by the car load and sold
to keep down insects that are injurious
to their fruits and vegetables. The
jaybird has II very bad name. He
pulls up the farmers corn and steals
his fruit. But never mind that. In
the long run he does no harm, catching
all those herrid pumpkin bugs and
'lady bugs that are SO destructive to
fruits and flowers. He also catches the
cabbage worm moth and makes himself
generally useful in the vegetable. gar
den."
