! ton, but there seems 10 Dc no uOuDt
that Driscoll is in need OF some form
of local government, some means to
induce our citizens to clean up the
streets and alleys, some means to
! keep them from dumping ashes and
tin cans en- the street, some means
| of erecting sidewalks and crossings,
and some means to induce the own
ers of stray stock to keep them orr
the sidewalks we have, and later to
get for us some means OF fire protec'
ton which we are certainly In need
+, of. But in the main give us q town
we can be proud of, one that WILL ap-
peal to the eye of a stranger, a
: clean, up.to-date little village, for
how can we ever hope 10 grow II we
continue to have no government and
! our town look like the deserted VII
Ilage.
While we are at it, it will not
come amiss to ask, "Why don't Dris-
coll have commercial club?' We
know Of any amount of towns no
larger and not half as thrifty as our
own that has such an organization.
They induce the citizens to pull to-
gether for the betterment of the
town, improve its advantages as
trading point, give US a means to ad-
vertise our town and show those that
are looking for locations that we are
what they need and they are what
we need. Think it over. 49,.
In tie Tribune of Friday appeared
the. announcement of H. A. Thomas
for the candidacy for the Office of
County Judge. We do not stutter in
the least when we state that H. A.
is a man of integrity, a man inter-
ested in the welfare of our commun-
ity and the county at large, a pro-
gressive citizen, lover of decency
and fair play. While the Office Of
county Judge would not enable him
to do we east enders any favors In
the judicial line, he would neverthe.
less be en- the ground and be help
in many ways, and there is no doubt
ing the fact that we need a friend
that Is and has been one of us at
Headquarters. Just remember that
when the primaries come; along.
Asa Thomas and Carl Rasmussen,
the boys behind the gun on the
Thomas Bros. we'll machine have
taken advantage of the fine weather
and are at it again. They have about
the slickest gasoline we'll drill we

in action.
Roy Hartman, the local manager
of the Powers Elevator has been un-
der the weather, but is again able to

duties. 49, II

Tuesday the 18th was the annual

there being only one ticket before
the voters. Outside Of the fact that

tie some of their differences in a fis-
tic. encounter everything was perfect
peace. G. F. Burket was reelected
for the Office Of township clerk; Ed.

ors; Geo: Cunningham, treasurer; H.
A. Thomas and C. H. Woodbury., JUS
