Republicans win Have Candidates

Some members of the party
thought that under the primary law
it would be difficult to get candi-
dates for the several offices at the
August primary but such will not
be the case this year as already
every office will be claimed by as.
pirants as will be seen by the fol.
lowing:
NJ. E. Burke has filed for repre-,
sentative.
Ira S. Gardner has announced
for prosecuting attorney.
Hal Lomax, Jas. M. Turner and
Victor M. Classify have announced
for treasurer.
Geo. W. Anderson has announ-
ced his candidacy for the sheriff S
Office.
Geo. w. Early of Marceline will
file the requisite declaration for
judge of the eastern district.
John Ira Pnrdin Of Purdin will
file his declaration for Judge of the
western district.
DR.. P. L. Patrick, the present
coroner, will stand for another
term.
Thus it will be seen that candi-
dates are already in the field for all
of the offices with the exception of
public administrator and surveyor.

Who ever becomes a man of in

benefits the world, his friends or

We see it everywhere. Who is he
sitting on that empty barrel at the
corner? A man with no energy
prey to grief. He does not know
what to do or how to start. Who
is that men standing in the market
place! A lazy, do-little, shiftless
sort of fellow, hardly earning his
bread and butter, whining hard

so cordial and enlivening that the

are thousand women who can
make a pudding where there is one
who is mistress of her servants, of
her husband, of her home, of her

must fit herself for it by cherishing
