County Superintendency.

Every voter at the May school election should remember the importance of voting for county superintendency. Nothing would give the school interests of this county greater growth. We re- gret that our State has held back so long in this forward move ment for better schools. All the States that stand highest in their desire for progress in our school matters by voting for county supervision in the May election. The last legislature created an act leaving it to the electors in the May school meeting whether they shall vote for superintend- ent in the general election. If it fails to carry in May, then we have no county supervision the next two years. Let all vote for this important natter Eldora- do Times.

A few days late r the congressman Received let ter from his constituent which read: Dear Sir: I don't know what to do about those garden seeds you sent me. notice it is $500 fine for private use. I don t want to use them for the public. l want to plant them in my gar den. 1 can't afford to pay $500 for the privilege.
