Mrs. H. S. Givler was one of
the lucky contestants in the Carl
Hoffman musical prize puzzle and
received as one of the first prizes
offered a hundred dollar bond
good for that amount on any
piano in the Carl Hoffman music
store at Kansas City These
bonds are bonafide and are back
ed by the factory, there is moth
ing of the fake order about them.
They are transferable and any
one wishing to know about this
matter can do so by calling on
Mrs. Givler as she does not wish
to use the bond and is willing to
transfer it to anyone that does.

The Baltimore Sun, a leading
Democratic newspaper in Mary
land and one of the formost Dem
ocratic papers of the south, has
come out strongly in support of
Taft for president. In 1896 the
Sun fought Bryan and the free
silver movement, but in 1900 it
supported Bryan and made
good fight for him. 1t failed to
hold the conservative element of
the Democratic party in Mary
land in line for him. When the
late Senator German controlled
the Democratic machine in Mary
land the Baltimore Sun made
several strong fights against
him and helped to turn the state
over to the Republicans.
Although the Democratic or
ganization supports the Bryan
ticket the Sun voices the senti-
ment of an element of the party
in this city and state in an edit
orial, the editorial says:
1t is the judgment of the Sun
that the material welfare of the
people of the United States
duStrial and financial-would be
promoted to a greater degree by
the election of Mr.. Taft than by
the election of Mr.. Bryan; that
their rights would be safeguard
ed as carefully by Mr.. Taft as by
Mr.. Bryan.
The Sun is convinced that
the arm of the law personified by
a president of balanced judg-
ment, with thorough know
ledge of lava man of steady
purpose just and resolute-
would prove better defender of
the rights of the people and
would do more to promote their
material welfare than the big
stick has done in the hands of
Mr.. Roosevelt or than the club
could do in the hands of Mr..
Bryan. 1t is our deliberate

years the material interest of
the people of this country would
be safer with Mr.. Taft at the
head of the national government
than with Mr.. Bryan.
I we further believe that while
a law breaker would be brought
to account by Mr.. Taft with as
little fear or favor as Mr.. Bryan
could display. the methods en-
ployed by Mr.. Taft would not
curtail the workingnan' oppor-
tunities for employment by dis
turbing the business of lawabid-
ing men and corporations as has
been witnessed in the last few
years. Mr.. Taft's experience in
important administrative posts,
his judicial temperament, his pa
fence and thoroughness in invest
igation, justify the belief that as
president he would execute the
law faithfully and well but not
spectaculary. And while this
type of man ought to be in the
White House all the time, be
seems to be especially needed
now, when the country is emerg
ing from an industrial and fin
ancial depression which brought

Walt Mason thus describes
the notification of Bryan of his
nomination for the presidency:
They were most extremely care
full when they blew the news to
Bill, for they had the careful
knowledge that surprises some
times kill; so they took along a
doctor with a bottle and a spoon,
so that Bill might be revived if
he should fall into swoom.
And they had a man to fan him
and another with a pail, who
would douse him down with wat
er if his nerves began to fail; hav-
ing taken all precautions that
their wisdom could suggest, they
began to tell him, pausing often
for a rest. Bill began to have
suspicious ere they'd talked a
half a day, that they had some
dismal tidings which would
drive his smile away, so he sum-
moned up his courage, and,
though trembling, weak and
wan, when the hideous truth
was uttered, William faced it
like a man. For brief and
fateful moment William reeled
as though he'd fall; this he said
is too blamed sudden" then
he smiled and that was all.

Quite a good deal is said
nowadays about the deplor-
able condition of the poor farm
buildings. Too much cannot
be said about the matter-the
buildings are a disgrace to
Saline-but there are other
things in Saline just as bad.
We are not in favor OF appro-
priating 50,000 or any other
amount for new buildings at
the county farm unless every
cent of the money goes into
the buildings. Money spen,
under present conditions
would probably find it q long
