good administration Of county affairs /;
a square deal aud good treatment for
every one.

think is for the good Of the people.
Fourth. Should the voters Of Polk
County decide that I am the proper
person 20 fll the cfiice Of County
Judge. I will give to the management
Of the business OF the County the
same energetic and careful attention
that I have given my own business

friends, who have just built a lovely
little bungalow. Ma said to the lady :
"Your house is fine but your garden
is small" "Yes", she replied; sit is
small, but I will put my flowers In
folding beds" Speaking Of flowers,
do you know why the lily is the emb-
lem Of Easter? It's not 80 much on
account Of its purity as to the fact
that 1t can't be adulterated. You can't
adulterate Easter Sunday, and you
can't adulterate any of the pure foods
that are sold in this store, because
they we're made up pure and there's
no room for any adulteration. This
is good time to stock up your larder
for Easter. You know how willing
we are to serve yov. Open Saturday
