No more delightful comedy was ever
written than George AIDES story of rural
politics. love and the like, THE County
Chairman" and this is to be the attraction
at the Boyd theater for four performances,
beginning with a matinee on Saturday. 1t
is case OF laugh all the time, with Just
few tears mingling for the disappointed
love OF Jim Hacker and Mary Rigby. But
Jim proves himself the man all looked upon
him as being, and takes a noble revenge
on the man who had turned aside the cur
rent Of his life. The main story deals with
the love of Jim's partner, Wheeler, for
Rigby's daughter and the aspirations of
Wheeler and Rigby to be elected county
attorney. Hackler is the political dictator
of his party, and he brings about the nom
ination OF Wheeler against Rigby and then
conducts the campaign along his own line.
His political philosophy is gathered from
the depths Of his experience, and is surely
the most entertaining. The town darkev
contributes his share 20 the fun and so
does the Antioch drum corps and otter
characters. The whole Is a continual de-
light. Seats are now on sale for the four

Bennett Irwin of Gordon, -Ieb., who for

Mr.. Irwin and his wife came to Nebraska
twenty-five years ago, driving to Gordon

with other settlers, underwent many hard
ships. They outlived them all, grew up
with the country and enjoyed a very fair

to settle in new part OF their old state

which are to be constructed this fall. He
has decided to do no more work than the

Things are going this year just as they
have in past years." exclaimed the en-
Gineer, with a discouraged frown on his
face. Instead OF arranging for starting
various big jobs in the spring and working
steadily through the summer the work is
allowed TO accumulate in the last two or
three months OF the year. Here we find
ourselves with about thirty big paving jobs
on hand and less than two months OF open
weather TO do them in. The accumulation
means that this department will have to
do an immense amount OF preliminary and
inspection work within a short time. To
do IL right, so as to expedite the work, we
would have to put on additional men and
spend more money.
