TWO COMMISSIONERS TO ELECT
At the coming election, there will
be two county commissioners to cleo
in Ford county, one in the Second
and one in the Third district. TIT
Second district is Dodge City and
the Third is the western part Of the
county. Ford county is in excellent
financial condition. The present
board bas made good record. Two
members Of the board are up for re.
election, and il the people elect them
it will mean the continuance Of q
careful business policy in county
affairs. The election Of commission
ers is Of more Importance to the
county than the election Of any other
county officers, because they handle
every bit Of the public money, and
are in fact the business management
Of tho county.
In Dodge City W. J. Davies has
consented to stand for reelection.
He is man who is eminently fitted
for the duties Of the Office. A care
full accountant with years Of ex-
perience, in Office work and bank
work, man who has served as
county treasurer here, and who is
familiar with the business affairs OF
Ford county in every way. No one
is more trustworthy or competent.
The county that can secure such
members of its board Of commission
ers is fortunate. Tax payers can not
afford to be careless in selecting the
board which is to handle the money
of the county, and man who has a
thorough knowledge Of county affairs,
and who is capable careful business
man, should be selected. Mr.. Davies
fills the requirement.
In the Third district, Mr.. Mayrath
is the candidate for reelection. He
came here in an early day and has
spent the main portion Of his life in
trying to make Ford county one Of
the best counties Of Kansas. He is

TEACHERS TO DODGE.
Southwest Association Meeting VIII be hold
Here In November.

| Here In November.
The Southwest Kansas Teachers
Association will meet in Dodge City,
Nov. 26-28. The program will be
a somewhat varied one. The follow.
ing statement has been furnished us
for publication:
Beside the usual lectures given by
professors from the University and
other institutions Of higher learning
there will be discussions Of practical
educational topics by the teachers
attending the association. Usually
these topics are definitely assigned
and somewhat formally discussed
this year the topics are suggested
only and the association may call up
for discussion such Of these sug
gested topics as it wants to discuss
and the discussion will be entirely
informal and any one wishing to
take part may do 60. It is believed
that these topics are Of Paramount
Interest" to our schools. The public
is most cordially invited to attend
all meetings Of the association. The
following topics and resolutions will
be offered for discussion and it is
hoped that every teacher will be
prepared TO enter into one or more
topics.
Topics for discussion:
(a) The strong points of the
adopted texts in Arithmetic, History,
Geography, Grammar, Kansas His
tory, Geography, Grammer, History
etc.
(b) The weak points in the same.
,c) Best method Of teaching each
OF these subjects from the adopted
text.
Resolved, Kansas History should
be taught in the grades only Incl
dentally or in connection with U. s.
History. !
Resolved, In Normal Institutes
not employing more than three in
structors, Physics, Bookkeeping and
General History should not be
taught.
Resolved, In such Institutes Kan
sas History should not be given q
separate place On program but that

shrewd business man, and has
always taken an interest in County
affairs. he has made good MEM
Der Of the board. He is one Of the
men who tackled the Job 81 putting
in a good bridge across the Arkansas
river here, to give the people a safe
way to cross, and to stop the ever
lasting expense Of repairs, on
tumble down wooden bridge. It
was a big job to tackle, but Mr..
Mayrath and the other members of
the board knew that it would pay
the county to do it, and everybody
is glad that it was done. When it
was done the work showed the effect
Of having a competent board Of COM
missioners. It is the best bridge
you can find spanning the Arkansas
river, and was built with less money
than any bridge Of the same class OF
work has been built for in the state.
In every business matter which has
come before the board Mr.. Mayrath
has shown good judgment. It will
be to the interest Of every tax payer
in these two districts, and to the
entire county, to re-elect these two
members. Their names will appear
on the Republican ticket at the COM |
ing election, and the majorities given |
Them should show that good service
is appreciated in this county.
