forced to give up his fight for reinstate-
ment. Since he was relieved of his place
he has been waging war on Judge Hainer,

Washington, who has stood as an inter-
mediary between him and Harm. and that

In Lucile's items last week. he
said: There is one thing we
have more of than any other
place and that is poverty" We
admit a good portion has fallen
to our lot, but don't think we
have more than any other place. ;"
1t IS true we haven't any Rock
fellers or Carnegies, but our pow
erty is not SO great that it must
be advertised. Wealth and lux
ury may not abound here like the
community in which Lucille has
resided. Only a few weeks ago
he stated that w. P. Ward had
raised 1000 bushels of potatoes.
That don't look like poverty and
we have other farmers that are
equally as successful as Mr.. Ward.
Perhaps Lucille is not aware of the
fact we can boast of having the
banner agricultural community in
the county, having twice taken
the banner at the County Fair
and once at the Phoenix Fair.
