Now that harvest is over and
more money in circulation we
would fell very grateful if those
knowing themselves indebted to US
on subscription would interview rs
on the silver question. 1t takes
money to run paper, even in this
country where express comes to 3
cents pound, and as we have
waited on you for several months
we would consider it a favor if you
would wait on us--with the requir-
ed amount. This applies only to
those in arrears and no offense is
intended SO don't take any.

II has been often said by those
who know that county commits
sioner just begun to catch onto the
run of things by the end of his first
term and it naturally follows that
the longer competent man holds
that Office the better able he is to
handle the work that comes before
him Commissioner Simon has
held Office now for four wears and
proven very efficient and given
good satisfaction generally. Would
it be wise then to put a new man
in his place who will use up two
years before becoming able to cope
with the duties of his office?
When man proves himself cap
able in every way he should be
kept in Office as the position of
county commissioner is an arduous
and unpleasant one. The farmers
will vote to their best interests this
fall by rejoicing George Simon as
commissioner from this district.

If the county officials were to
spend several thousand dollars in
having the county books exported
and everything was found to be cor
rect the republican papers would
then say that it was strange that
democrats could control county
affairs for so long a time withou,
stealing or wasteing the funds and
in the meantime the honest farm
ers would foot the bill for the ex
porting of the county books and be-
no whit better off than before. 1t
will take more, however, than the
barking of certain few to make
the people of this county believe
the county affairs have been cor
ruptly handled under democratic
administration.

purpose of killing that law and
that Gooding has put more money

look reasonable now to think that

necessity. Within the past few wears
the practice has been renewed Of
sheathing the hulls of ships with copper
Tor the purpose of keeping the bottoms
clean.
Copper is also used extensively in ar
chitecture, as roofing for buildings. and
in cornices. Bronze gates and doors
for churches and public buildings are
uses that annually increase the con-
sumption of copper. The domestic uses
of copper are innumerable We have
brass beds and furniture, copper lamps
and various kinds of fixtures. from
parlor to kitchen, in constantly inereas-
ing form.
Within the past few years copper has
been used in roofing passenger coaches
on railroads, and the ideal passenger
car of the future will have a steel
frame covered with cOpper-in fact, the
SEQ ears being built to equip the sub
way railroad of New York City will
be SO constructed.
In battleships and their equipment
the use of copper is beyond estimate,
and is ever increasing. And so on
through the experience of daily life in
the arts, the sciences, in war and
peace, in unitarian purposes and in
mere ornament the use of copper is
constantly broadening, making the
market outlook for copper brighter than
for several years past.
