That the new council started
in at their first meeting to make
good the statements in regard
to putting the city of Condor on
a sound financial basis and thus
lowering the taxes of the proper
ty holders WILDE quite evident
to all who may read the report
of their meeting as given on the
first page of this issue. Their
earnest endeavor to get the af-
fairs of the city in a business
like condition is shown by the
fact that another meeting is call
ed for next Monday night and
this haste will meet with approx
al from the taxpayers who elect
ed these men for the purpose of
handling city affairs. The re-
remark that the new city coun-
Gil intends to do something is a.
gain called forth by the unusual
sight of four of the councilmen
in body inspecting some of the
streets of the city, presumably
with a view to bettering their
condition. The citizens Of the
city should do all in their power
to assist the council in the good
work.

to the local agent for distribu-

and taken advantage of by every
farmer who has a few acres to

liable crop. The Department of
Agriculture has tested this crop
and knows what it is and this
is the chance for the farmer to
get for nothing ten pounds of
seed that will with a little care,
add many dollars to his yearly
income. The farmer of this vi
