cannot give satisfaction and wastes
the saw- Try George Drake if you
want a saw sharpened right. He has
the time and kilaek to do it.

Cannon has already announced himself

he expects the sane old farmers, who

to pull away from the insergeant-
demo crowd and vote for men that are
sure to vote for Republican measures
and Republican principals as may be
decided by the majority of Republicans
in caucus or convention assembled and
not be led into the enemy's camp under
false flags. Congress needs men who
are Republicans all the time.

A petition is being signed asking the
Judge to again parole AIois Staab from
the county Jail. If it could be done on
the same condition as when Gov. Hoch
paroled an Ellis county man, ''that he
must not come into Ellis county with
in two years" it would be all right.
If Staab would give good and sufi-
cient bond that he would move outside
Of the 23rd Judicial district within ten
days Of the parole and stay outside of
the state with his family for two years
it would be all right. It would save
the county big expense of boarding
him for the eight months, would show
that Hays proposes to stop the whis-
key business here and would stop his
selling in this state. We believe the
taxpayers of the city generally would
approve Of the Mayor and Council
signing such conditional petition,
and the Judge to grant such con-
ditional parole.
