want to have the privilege of spend

They do not want advice or sympathy
until it is too late.

-Shakespearian productions have
for the past few years been noted for
their scarcity and it is a pleasure to
hear that the De Smet opera house
will offer "As You Like 1t" on next
Monday, March 14th. The produc-
ton is under the management of Mr..
G. p. Walker, who has been extreme
ly careful in the selection of an ade-
quate cast and also giving the play a
scenic inyestiture that should be a
credit to the classic production. Will
liam Yule will appear as Touch
stone, a part that he can play with
extreme JUNCTION and which enables
him to display the delightful comedy
that's his forte. Violet Eddy as Rosa
lind is a sweet looklnglady whose must
cal voice a render the beautiful lines
of the immortal comedy with an effect
that is hardly realized by a lay-read-
er.
Those who went for their mail
late Sunday forenoon found the door
of the post office locked, contrary to
the usual custom since the new build
ing has been occupied. Upon inquiry
we found that Postmaster Wilmarth
closed the building to prevent the
crowd of boys from loafing in the
lobby and making a trough house" as

ridiculous that the public service in
which several thousand people are
more or less interested must be sus-
pended for the greater part of a day
because of the rowdyism of a number
of boys who are at just the right age
to be benefited by a good spanking.
However, if there is no way to stop
them damaging the property we do
not blame the postmaster for closing
the place.
Elsewhere will be found the an
~nouncement of r. w. Levitt, of Ar
lington, who is a candidate for the
nomination for county commissioner
in the First district, comprising the
townships of Badger, Denver, and
Spring Lake, subject to the will OF
the republican voters of that district
While, under the new law, the voters
outside that district have no voice liz
the selection of commissioner from
that district, who is to represent that
district on the board of commissioners
is of as much Importance to the peo'
pie of the balance of the county as to
those living in the district. lis with
pleasure that we are able to announce
the candidacy of MIR. Levitt. He is a
man of business ability as evidenced
by the care given to, and the success
of, his private affairs. he is aisc
familiar with the ordinary business OF
the county, having had four years ex.
~prience in the court house as register
of deeds. Another matter of particular
interest to his district is the construc'
ton of bitches, considerable work oil
that kind now being under way. MIR
Levitt has taken the trouble to inform
himself in this matter as he had aper
sonal interest as a taxpayer in the
cost of the work. His record as {
public official is one of economy ano
efficient service. A man better fitteG
for the position cannot be found il
that district, or any other district il
the county. Should be receive thu
nomination and election it would b.
gratifying to the people Of the whole
lcounty.
