reducing the number of delinquent real
estate descriptions advertised annually
and sold for taxes. Mr.. Hart took
up this matter some two years AGO and
began the sending of notices of delin-
quent real estate before advertising the
same for sale for taxes, and by a
systematic effort along that line,
which has meant good many days
work for him, without one cent of
compensation, and something that the
law does not require, he has succeeded
in reducing the list of delinquent real
estate in Blue Earth county from
very large list to a very small one. We
think it speaks better for Blue Earth
county to see very small list of
delinquent property advertised for sale
for taxes, rather than very large
one which was the case few years
ago.
Mr.. Hart has been a conscientious
and painstaking official, courteous and
tentive to the duties of his office. His
many friends are giving him loyal sup
port for denomination.

his administration has instituted re-
forms in the conduct of the affairs of
his office which he thinks the tax
payers in the county appreciate. For
instance, it was the custom of his
predecessor to charge the twelve coun-
try banks who collect taxes from $40
to $40 per year for making the tax
books to collect taxes by. He dis
continued that practice and is furnish
ING all the banks in the county all the
tax lists they wish absolutely free
of any charge. There are also a dozen
country stores in this county located
in small towns where there are no
banks, and to each of these places he
has furnished them tax lists so that

points, namely: Cambria, Judson, Gar
den City, Willow Creek, Buttermlt Val

taxes, but could 90 to their nearest

places in the house as you want it.
Such conveniences cost no more in the
country than they do in the city. They
must be paid for wherever they are
enjoyed. We don't get things for moth,

enough to pay the interest on the cost,
to pay the salaries and stealings OF
public officials and the necessary funds
for a great deal of unnecessary work.

and saving in heating every winter

vantage to have the kitchen shut away
from the main part Of the house whore
1T is cool in summer. When the porch
lis used as sort Of kitchen annex, a.

keepers, the arrangement is especially
attractive.
The water supply in all houses that
are built in villages and country places
is a question Of serious Importance.
One reason why life in small places
is not more attractive is the lack Of
modern conveniences In the houses.
How much better it Is to build small
house, thereby saving money enough
