John II. French has filed for county
commissioner from the fourth district.
He is now serving the county very &C.
ceptably, having been appointed to fill
out a portion Of the term of P.
O'Malley, deceased.
1t will take only a few words for
both Harden and Hollister to announce
unequivocally just how they stand in
regard to supporting senator M. E.
Clapp for reelection to the U. S. senate.
Representative Henry w. Lightley
announces emphatically that he is for
Moses E. Clapp, first, last and always.
If the general sentiment of this county
could be fully expressed at the coming
primaries, we are certain that 1t would
be in strong endorsement of Clapp for
reelection, in agreement with the
emphatic resolutions of endorsement
passed by the last republican state con-
ventiOn.

The unusual number of legislative

Senator Clapp's friends and quiet in
vestigation of the situation is said to
have revealed the fact that in almost
every legislative district money is be-

Syr
F. E.. Hambrecht has filed as candi-
date for county commissioner and as
he has several things to recommend
him he is likely to win by a large ma
jority and probably by unanimous
vote. In naming the little things in
his favor we might start with the fact
that he is one of the best posted men in
the county on county affairs, and then
this district shares with him the honor
of his being chairman of the board, a
distinction that we don't propose to
lose; then we might add that he is fair
and perfectly upright both as man
and a public officer. Frank will suit
this district all right enough.-LeRoy

HOW TO CONQUER MUSTARD

tematic Spraying. -

My farm was covered with q plague
Of mustard, which in some respects
was even worse than western mort

growth. I plowed this in the spring.
Almost Immediately afterward every

duced vigorous young plant. When
