infringement on the patent for an
other separator. Orders have

bought the machines not to use
them. The farmers who were

us he is a coward when if comes to

that it has become chronic, and
there is no cure. The following

There are three candidates out
for the office of county treasurer,
one from Medora and two from
Beach. Naturally the Chronicle
is in favor of Beach man and in
selecting and supporting WI.
Mckibbin VIC believe we are talk
ing the right stand and believe
Mr.. Mckibbin to be the more
deserving of the two Beach candi-
dates. j. +. Arnold, the other
Beach candidate, is we'll quail
fled and a man of sterling char
acter. but his office seeking in
Billings county is rather prema-
ture. considering the fact that he
has held public office off and on
for over twenty years in Wiscon-
sin and has practically just landed
i'm the state and casts his first vote
here at general election next
June. 1t is true that the new
comer> will have Il big voice at
our coming primaries, but how
many newcomers are there who
have resided in the state IL little
over Il year who feel that they are
entitled to county office and
would have the nerve to ask the
suffrage of the voters for an
office after SO short residence
here. when there arc men seeking
the same office who have pioneer
ed it and have been residents of
the state for over 25 years. Mr..
Mckibbin was one of the first
homestcaders to come to the
Golden Valley and was one of the
many who always boosted the
country as farming district. TO
acquaint tie voters better with
MIR. Mckibbin and hiss candidacy
we print Il short sketch Of his
life on another page. lie is we'll
deserving of your support and is
a good man to elect to take care
of the county funds. Moreover,
he is not a candidate of any bank
or financial institution. Give him
your vote on June oath, and if
elected the treasurer S Office will
be in safe hands.
