VIM. w. Felson has his candidate
card in this issue. Mr.. Felson has made
fine record as careful, oblging and
efficient county auditor, an office that
carries with it more detail and respon-
slolllty than any other in the county.

carried out TO its logical conclusion
there is no need of change in that Office.
The weather has been very fine all the
week. Wednesday was practically a
summer day. Some light showers came
up in the afternoon. Wheat seeding
has been going on ell the week. Grass
is green end the trees are all ready to
leave out. The plowed ground is IN a
very fine condition for seeding. Pros
poets at this time of the year were
never better for the farmers,

account of the results While the vote

bonded debt when due. This will leave
about $500 in the general fund to paw
the running expenses until more money

only new goods he had were buggy
and tanning mill on which he was will
