IT PAY YOU

to run risks or take chances where health and future are
not necessary? Medical advertisements frequently appear
in the papers that were written by some advertising COM
pany or individual at so much per inch. Concerns have
often approached me with such propositions, saying that
they were writing advertisements for certain other doctors
and that they were we'll pleased with the results. This I
regard as a sort of confidence game on the part of the doctor.
When a man fathers anything it should be his own, and you
will find the treatment and results in such cases as fraudu-
lent as their advertisements are fictitious. Words are like
leaves and where they most abound much fruit of sense be-
meath is rarely found Monte men and confidence sharks
always select large crowds like carnivals and fairs because
opportunities are better for them. Likewise the trickster

IT'S ALL RIGHT.

We we're talking with q farmer
the other day and he incidentally
made the remark, "Well, We have
aot got as much wheat as We had
last year. but that is all right. We
have got enough to live and enjoy
life until We get another CROP" An
other said, ''Well you don't catch us
again as ne we're caught in 80 to 81,
without any crops, our farms mort.
gagged, and with heavy interest to
pay. We have no wheat nor corn
but plenty of chickens. we have some
cattle and few horses that We can
dispose of. and little money, and We
are all right" We are glad of this,
because We believe the people are as
well fixed in Barton County as they
are in the east, and We tell them so.
But, there are few things that you
are going to buy this fall. This you
have made up your mind to do, and
that is good rocker, a couch, q car.
pet, rug, or piece of furniture Of
some kind. Now, isn't this 90, and if
80 won't you give US chance to sell
you these goods as We keep the lsrg-
est stock In this County.
You may think it economy to use
that old worn out heating stove or to
slt around the Cook stove or q two
grlddle Monkey stove, but it is not.
DON'T you know that you are cousum-
ing more fuel than it would take to
pay for a nice Round Oak stovef
Get the Genuine Bsckwith Round
Oak stove and you have got the best.
If you want chea per stove, we have
them also.
DON'T YOU THINK 1T IS
FOOLISH to feed corn or any Other
kind of grain without being ground.
Don't you think it is wasteful? What
would you think to hear US say that
We have feed grinder, which is the
Grain King, that will grind more
grain per hour than any other, and
the only one that will grind small
grain successfully. That is the grind.
er that will pay for itself in one
season, If you will but use il. We
have put out over fifty of them and
they are doing excellent work, and
giving good satisfaction. Will you
be the next one? Try one and see il
it will not pay y"u to keep it.

His Fame Spreads.

The Larned Tiller and Toiler of last
week made the following comment on
County Clerk Lutchg, who is a candi-
date for election to another term:
The taxpayers of Barton county
have a county clerk ia the person of
F. NJ. Lutschg whom they should be
proud of. He believes in every man
paying his just proportion of taxes
and has been Instrumental in making
the lot of the ''tax dodger" hard one
in Barton. He has been renominated
this year and is being bitterly opposed
by those whom he has made dig up.
Would that there were a few more
Lutschgs in western Kansas!
The comment is appropriate and
timely. Mr.. Lutschg by direction of
the board of County Commissioners.
has done much to increase the revenues
of the county by securing the assess.
ment of property overlooked by the
assessors and the individuals concerned
and by thus doing has incurred the
displeasure and bitter opposition of
SOuiC Vi SoCu iuQltiOudtSs dttuOuSu nC
did only his sworn duty in the matter.
1t is pleasing to note, however. that
the average citizen of the county-re.
gardless of party affiliations-is loudly
praising Mr.. Lutschg for thus assisting
in compelling just treatment to all.
In this connection we want to call
the attention of the voters to the fact
that it is important to keep a man of
experience in the county clerks Office.
this year especially. There will be a
new treasurer elected. likewise the
board of county commissioners will
also be practically all new men; and
there is much that a new man in the
clerks Office would be lost at with
these other officers new at the business.
Fred Lusschg should be rs elected.
