County Clerk Ridgway is almost as
proud of his luck in extracting cream from
his six graded COWS as he is of his ability to
win votes. He makes business of each
branch of industry as the results show. We
have his word for the results of the first,
the latter is matter of public record.
Here is his latest cream record The "get'i
from six COWS was set" Monday night,
and Tuesday morning he drew off ter
quarts of cream. 1t seems to us that there
is fatality about that ''ten.'' Now if he
had drawn fifteen quarts of cream We
would have thought he had all his oppon-
ents in the Clerkship race 'beat," and
would eventually win the third ClerkshiI
trip, but when his COWS stop at ten, righl
in the height of feed, it looks squally foI
his making fifteen year record as Clerk
1t looks as though Franks limit wa
stem" (years).
