Then we only fed in the day. We also

amount, and the last month we fed six

This is the year when a great
many people will be out for Office,
when there will be many persons
wanting the same office and all
having a good reason why they
should get the office. They will all
have friends who will also think the
same way, and between the two
they will set up plans to pull
around to success. This is all right,
as every man in this land of ours
should have the privilege to get any
office which he may desire and no
one should modest HIM nor make
him afraid. He has enough troubles of
his own with the opposition candi-
dates without having some party
shark try to squeeze him out into
the cold and defeat. It is all right
for a mans friend to aid him, but
still at the same time they should
remember that if they get to Heaven
that they will find few others
there also.

Some people look upon the pay
ment of a poll tax as an awful
thing a great burden to be
borne and at the same time these
same people are enjoying the same
rights and privileges that any law
abiding citizen of the United States
may enjoy. They are protected by
our laws and travel upon our high
ways built and maintained by the
tax payers. Yet it is possible to
find some petty little excuse such
as a sore toe or corn on the
bottom Of the foot or bad teeth or
defective hearing or a missing
finger or any one of a dozen other
excuses equally as trivial to get out
of working or paying this tax and
it may be a fact that this same tax
will be the only one they will ever
be called upon to pay. Only last
summer a strapping big fellow six
feet tall and almost as strong as a
horse asked to be and got excused
on the grounds of being little hard
of hearing. The same man ran a
steam threshing rig up and down
the highways of two townships for
two months or more last fall and if
there is anything that is harder on
our highways than steam threshing
machines we don't know what it is
