son is that with reference to salaries
paid. The registers salary which
is fixed by law Is now at maximum in
Ward county, being $4,000 per annum.
The salaries of clerks are fixed by
the board Of county commissioners
giving to deputies 500 and to clerks
from $50 to SIS per month. Now, al
though ! have not the figures Of SAL
aries paid in Williams county. I
know that based on the county's
valuation they are. below, the max
imum rate. Let me Indulge in remin-
iscences while dilate upon this mat.
ter more fully. In the year 1s0e-at
time when Ward county had reach
ed about the same stage of develop
ment as Williams county has at pre-
sent, my salary for the year was
$1.700 while the salaries of the clerks
ranged from $50 to $65 per month.
This, I think, will also nearly CORES
pond to salaries now paid in Williams
county. In comparing the month Of
March in that year in Ward county
when l was register of deeds with
that Of the corresponding month of
March in Williams county, the records
disclose the following. TO all receipts
of my office $2,399.0O; expenses for
registers salary and clerk hire 1915,
leaving a surplus of $1,724. or in
other words, expenses in my office
but % per cent of total receipts. To-
tai receipts in Williams county Office
las shown by article aforementioned)
$2,155. 90; expenses for registers sal
airy and clerk hire $736.66, leaving a
surplus of $1,31s.34 or reducing to
same terms, expenses In Williams
county for that month, "a per cent of
total receipts. Sc
I compare these two months of
March not because the figures appear
to my advantage but because they are
the only present available figures
from Williams county.
From what have already given it
seems to me, as it must seem to every
intelligent reader, that an honest and
authentic comparison 80 far from
working to my disadvantage, pays a
very high tribute to the people in my
office and rebounds greatly to my
advantage.
Yet would not have you believe
that it is or has been my aim to run
the office of register of deeds as
cheaply as possible for the sake of
yielding revenue. I do not believe
that the register of deeds offices of
this state are intended as revenue
producers, and yet for the year 1908
l turned into the county treasury af-
ter having paid all expenses of regis
ter's salary and clerk hire, the sum
OF $24, 793.4S. do not fear contradic-
ton when I Say there is not in the
entire Red River Valley one county
whose receipts in the last four years
exceeds that sum.
Furthermore. and finally by way OF
enlightening those Of your readers
who may still be in the dark, let me
state here that the expenses connect
ed with the Office of register of deeds
are not borne by the taxpayers. Pos
itively not one cent Of the county's
money goes into the register Of deeds

The Greatest Snap YOU Ever Hear
Los Angeles herald., 1910-04-22

10 D. m. April 9, the vote schedule took
a decisive drop and the rating power
of every dollar withheld over that hour
would have decreased ten votes. Be
fore 10 p. m, April g. a dollar counted
for 200 votes and after that hour for
100 votes only. Thus new yearly sub
scription was good for 1000 votes prior
to 10 p. m, April 9, and only $50 after
that time. 1t is unreasonable to pre-
sumo that any candidate was willing
to sacrifice fifty votes on each new
yearly subscription in order to make
their strength a secret, for there would
be no advantage in doing this. Hence
all candidates started out April 10 with
out a vote cast upon this special prize
offer and it is what Las been cast since
that time that applies on this offer.
Thus the candidate with a large total
and the candidate with no total at all
are on an equal footing, and 1t depends
entirely upon what every candidate
does between April 10 and April % in
elusive that will win a special prize to
be given away next Saturday evening.
ENERGY PAYS HIGH
1t is very essential that every can
didate makes a fine showing this week,
as thousands of people are now con-
Versant with The Heralds big contest
and are greatly interested in it. BY
making a good showing now you will
give your friends every reason to rally
to your support and carry on the cam
paign for you. Unless you make a
good showing this week you can hardly
expect your friends to become enthu-
siastic. Hence 1t is imperative for
everyone to show as bg an increase
as possible at this time. Whether you
succeed in winning a special prize or
not, the fact that you have shown an
increase means that you have given the
world the information that you are in
this contest with the determination to
succeed, and success, you know, begets
success. Unless you yourself succeed
in showing that you can obtain a
growing total you cannot expect your
friend to join hands with you.
MAKE GOOD SHOWING
Candidates should read and reread
bulletin No 3 sent to everyone under
date of April Is. The information
given everyone is important and if used
to its best advantage candidates can
do much toward making a splendid
showing in this enterprise. 1t Is what
is being done now that will make you
a winner of the $4,000 bungalow or the
$33SO Knox tourabOut or the S7S750 trip
to the orient or the $3.50 grand piano
or the $500 dining room set or the $500
bank account or any one of the other
many magnificent prizes to be given
away at the close of the contest
You have all of today and the major
portion of tomorrow in which to get
and cast votes for the special prizes.
Use every effort. See every friend that
you can possibly see; have every friend
that you can possibly enlist in your
service campaign for you and with you
and do everything that will add to the
total you desire to have at 10 o'clock
tomorrow evening.
The prizes are awaiting distribution.
1t is up to you to share in this dis
tribution.

They Injure
Children
Ordinary Cathartics and Pills
and Harsh Physic Cause
Distressing Complaints

You cannot be over-carefdl in the Sc
lection of medicine for children. Only
the very gentlest bowel medicine should
ever be given. except in emergency
cases. Ordinary pills, cathartics and
purgatives are apt to do more harm
than good. They cause gripping, nausea
and other distressing reflects that
are frequently MISUNDERSTANDING and
life-lasting annoyance.
We personally recommend and guar
antee Rexa1l 0rderlies as the safest
and most dependable remedy for con-
stipatfon and associate bowel disorders.
We have such absolute faith in the
virtues of this remedy that we sell it
on our guarantee of money back in
every instance where 1t fails to give
entire satisfaction, and we urge all in
need of such medicine to try it at our
risk.
Rexall Order1ies contain an entirely
new ingredient which is odorless, taste
less and color1esS. As an active agent,
it embraces the valuable qualities of
the best known intestinal regulator
tonics.
Rexall Orderlies are eaten like candy.
The are particularly prompt and agree
able in action, may be taken at any
time, day or night; do not cause
diarrhoea, nausea, gripping, excessive
looSeneSS or other undesirable effects.
They have a very natural action upon
the glands and organs with which they
come in contact, act as a positive and
regulative tonic upon the relaxed mus
cular coat of the bowel and its dry mu-
cous lining; remove Irritation, over
come weakness, tone and strengthen
the nerves and muscles, and restore the
bowels and associate organs to more
vigorous and healthy activity
Rexa1l. Orderlies completely relieve
constipation. except when of a surgical
character. They also tend to overcome
the necessity of constantly taking laxa-
tives to keep the bowels in normal con-
dition.
There is really no medicine for this
purpose SO good as RexaIl Orderlfes.
especially for children, aged and deli
cate persons They are prepared in
tablet form, in two sizes of packages:
II tablets 10 cents, and SO tablets %

William Butter, of the Hutchin-
son Packing Company,
Says the Prices of Hogs Are
Going to Go Down.
FARMERS STOCKING UP
Are Going into Business on a
Big Scale.
Thinks the Market Will BE
Flooded This Fall.

Hutchinson, Kan, April BIS the
price of pork going to go down?
If SO, what will cause it to drop, and
when will the decline start?
These two questions were put up tc
William Butter. of the Butter Pack
iI g company. and he said:
THE price of pork will drop in Sep
TENDER when the new corn crop is
available 1t is possible that it will
crop a few cents before then, but not
very much. The cause of the high
price OF pork is the fact that two
years ago when the price of corn adj
vanced to almost 20 cents and the price
OF hogs did not advance, the farmers
decided they could make more money
by raising corn to sell. Instead of feed
ing it to hogs. They went out of the
hog raising business. As a result
there is a big shortage of hogs now,
W hich makes the price of hogs higher
than it has ever been known in KAN
sas before
THE answer to the question as to
what will cause the bottom to drop OUT
of the price of hogs is very simple.
sell from one to five brood sows to
price of hogs is nigh and corn is on
steady but a noticeable decline and the
farmer realizes that he will be able
to make more money this fall by hav-
ing a big bunch of hogs to sell than
he will by selling his corn crop. The
farmers who went out of the hog rails
ing business a. year or two ago-and
all Of them did-are going into the bus
mess again. The hog market will be
flooded this fall and the price of pork
will naturally decline"
OF 25 Cents Yesterday in Il. @.
Kansas City, April 13.-Prices of
hogs declined about Is cents a hum
dred pounds at the stock yards yester-
day. The top sale was at $10.15,
which is 80 cents under the high quota
ton reached about two weeks ago.
Increased receipts and diminished
of meat enabled packers
to buy without the recent lively COM
petition for the offerings. Yesterdays
decline was the largest that has occur
red in many weeks. Views of traders
at the yards are mixed as to how much
lower prices are likely to go.

ton. This spring their team isn't be-
ing touted as a sure world beaten. For
several seasons past the Cleveland cluD
has been looked upon as the team that
had to be figured against by anyone
who had real designs on the American
league pennant. A few years ago
Cleveland was feared as team of
sluggers and had to be counted on. As
a general thing the club would come
along until July and then would come
the slump, caused by injuries to great
extent that would put the club out OF
the race. But this year Cleveland is
being overlooked chiefly because of the
miserable showing of 1909, when Lajofe
threw up his job as manager in disgust
and Deacon Jim Mcclure took the
helm. Under these conditions Will the
rule work the other way?
Far from being peeved at the fact
that he did not make a success as q
manager, Lajoie is jumping in with
greater energy than ever. Because
Terry Turner's arm is hardly strong
enough to allow him to play short, and
because George Stova1l is going back
somewhat. Lajoie is being played at
first this season. Some of the wise ones
are making cracks that Lajoie is too
old to switch positions and learn TO
play first But as matter of fact he
broke into big leagues as a first sacker
with the Philadelphia. Nationals With
Nap at first and Turner as second that
right side OF the infleld is well taken
care of.
Nichols is the player who now seems
favored for the shortstop position, with
Bill Bradley at third. Neal Ball, the
hero of the unassiSted triple play of
last season, is sure to be retained in the
role of utility man. Ball has way of
playing sensational ball when put in
for short stretches as relief, while he
falls down on the long hauls.
In the outfieId there are many relia-
bles, Elmer Flick and Dode Birming
ham and Lord holdover. Art Kruger.
secured from Columbus has the rep
and has maintained it during the train
ing season TO make him worthy of con-
Sideration for a place. and probably
will beat Lord out for the regular job.
There is a good pitching staff in
Berger, Joss, Fa1kenberg and Young
from last year, with Koestner as a
new right handler. Moreover, the Maps
are to have a good southpaw. That is
assured by the way Linke and Mitchell
have shown UP, for these youngsters
have been good all spring. Mig Clarke |
is a grand catcher, while Bemis and
Ted Easterly make swell understudies.
Somehow remnants don't come the
way of Clevelanders. There were some
great teams there in the old days when
Pat Tebeau was the leader in National
league races.
But with the exception of 1908 Cleve- |
land has shown but little form in the |
