sarily, require nearly. If not all, his time
in looking after its affairs. and as we
look at it the affairs Of our city at the
present time are Of more Importance than
Mr.. Coffman's bank, and the oity's needs
are such that its affairs mnst be looked af-
ter as carefully as the affairs Of any bank,
and we do not see how Mr.Coffman could
possibly look after both at the Same time.
It should be remembered that the most
absolute harmony should prevail in the
city counsel for the n ext two years; it is
therefore most important that the alder
men of the Citizens ticket should be
elected so as to give to Mr.. Reeker the
support that he desires. They are all
men Of known ability and integrity, and
such that no citizen tax payer should
hesitate to support. and we would sug-
gest that at least all taxpayers of the
city of Rocky Ford rally to the support of
Mr.. Reoker and the Citizens ticket. SO as
not only to encourage him and his alder
man in solving the financial condition of
the city but of solving the water question
and to encourage them in so doing. And
after the election of the Citizens ticket,
which does not seem to be in doubt, we
should all rally TO their support and aid
them in the most important undertaking.

Advertising for a Mayor.

The city of Madgeburg. Germany,
recently advertised for a mayor, at a
salary of Ss.25o and house. That
strikes an American as n very curious
proceeding. but it is not at all uncom-
mon in Germany. In many, ii not
most, of the German cities politics
has absolutely nothing to do with city
government, the mayor and other Off
GERS being chosen solely with refer
cnce to their fitness and efficiency for
their several places.
And why not? A business or man
ufacturing corporation representing
many millions chooses its general
manager and superintendent for what
the directors think they can do in the
business. They want men to enforce
regulations, look after financial af-
fairs. see to the employment OF eff
cient helpers. and in general to see
that the business of the company Is
run in the best possible way for the
stockholders.
A city is simply Il great corporation,
with the voters as stockholders. and
their chosen representatives as direc,
tors. But too often in the election oi
these officers fit1ess is of little i'm
portancc as compared wHh party OF
personal 1nUucHCC. IHSIC arc may
ors in some Of our cities that no wise
business corporation would ever think
of putting in charge OF its affairs, and
they are no more fit for one place
than the other.
In Germany it is not uncommon for
representatives OF one city to look
into the way other cities are man.
aged. and If they find a mayor OF ex'
ceptioral ability and efficiency. to OF.
fer him a larger place at higher
salary Evidently America is at leas,
feeling its way in the same direction
The tremendous tide toward city gov
ernment by commission in some
states. and the adoption in many new
charters of several commission ele-
ments. both show that the people arc
thoroughly tired of the old political
null and spoils system. While, per
haps. we have no city ready yet to
advertise for a mayor" we do. have
several which have chosen their chief
executive for his business qualifica-
tions in the office. and are ready to
give him the recall il he does not
make good.-St Joseph News-Press.

STATEMENT
Citizens Party Committee

As the city election draws near and
the citizens of Rocky Ford are becoming
acquainted with the real financial condition
of the city and the city's water supply, and
considering the general welfare Of the
future Rocky Ford. they are beginning to
appreciate the patriotic and generous
offer of their old fellow townsman.
Charles Recksr, the citizens candidate
for mayor, who has promised in his
statement that he will d evo g
at least half Of his time to looking person
ally after the affairs Of the city. and
when necessary the entire time, for the
period of two years without fee or reward
This is certainly the most generous offer
that was ever made by a citizen Of Rocky
Ford to the people. Few could indeed
afford to do it, and less number could be
induced to make such an offer. but as he
said. he does so owing to the fact Of the
city's very bad financial condition, and to
the fact that he is one Of the heavy tax
payers of the city. and is most vitality
interested in the future welfare of Rocky
Ford.
This should not be a campaign Of politics
or personalities. it is purely a business ore.
and we believe that Mr.. Reoker should
not only be heartily supported but that he
should receive the united support Of all
the taxpayers of the city. and his cleo
ton should be made as nearly unanimous
as possible. We have nothing to say
against his opponent. Mr.. coffman. So
far as we know he is splendid gentleman
and good citizen. but itmust be aeknow-
lodged that he is at present. and no doubt
will be for the next two years. the head

Masks of the Marauesans.

The Marquesans of a generation ago
were the most completely and artist
cally tattooed people in the Pacific, and
the practice of tattooing is carried on
among them to certain extent today.
The really fine pieces of work. how.
ever, such as the famous right leg of
the late Queen Vaekehu of Nukahiva.
are confined entirely to the very old.
and. what with wrinkles. deformities
and the wear and tear of time. these
have lost most of their original sharp
ness of color and outline. None of the
new generation appears to have the
fortitude to endure the exquisite pain
incident to having a whole limb picked
out in lacework of geometric design
or the face barred and circled like a
coarse spiders web. Women are rare
ly tattooed at all now. and most of
the young men are satisfied with Il
broad band of solid black. not unlike n

across the face from ear to ear. giving
to their never overmild looking coun
tenances an expression of amazing fe.

Enos A. Mills, writing of his ad-
ventures with a pet bear known as
Little Boy Grizzly, says: He and
had few foot races, and usually. in
order to give me a better chance. we
ran downhill. In a 200 yard dash he
usually paused three or four times and
waited for me to catch up. and | was
not slow biped either. The grizzly.
though apparently awkward and lum,
berly, is one of the most agile of beasts
constantly marveled at Grizzly's
lightness of touch or the deftness of
movement Of his forepaws. With but
one claw touching it he could slide a
coin back and forth on the floor more
rapidly and lightly than | could. He
would slide an eggshell swiftly along
without breaking it. Yet by using one
paw he would without effort overturn
rocks that were heavier than himself"

Corn Dodgers.

These cakes, made from the earliest
times by the Indians and negroes and
baked on leaves or on hoe in the hot
ashes. may be successfully initiated by
the modern cook in her up to date

Take one pint of the genuine south

full of flour and a teaspoonful of salt.
Scald this with two cupfuls of boiling
water or milk in which rounded
tablespoonful of shortening has been
melted This should result in moist
batter, but one sufficiently firm to hold
in place when dropped from a spoon
into well creased baking pan. Two
tablespoonfuls of the batter will be
enough for each dodger, about three
fourths of an inch in thickness. The
cakes may lie even smaller if preferred.
To give them the old fashioned south
ern finish leave the full length imprint
of the finger across the top of each
cake. Bake in moderately hot oven
half an hour and eat hot with butter

The Princess Lwoff-Parlaghy, who
is herself a portrait painter of merit
has presented fine portrait of Joseph
II. Choate to the American Museum
of Natural History in New York, Mr..
Choate having been one of the found
ers of that institution.
In acknowledgment of the gift the
museum trustees have elected Princess
Lwoff-P Parlaghy donor of the mu-
scum. Mr.. Choate's portrait has been
hung for temporary exhibition in the
new members room, in which are
hung for the present all the portraits
of distinguished men possessed by the
museum.
The Princess LwoffParlaghy is a
picturesque figure In New York, where
she lives in eXtravagant style at the
Hotel Plaza, her rooms costing her
$4,000 a year. She recently travelled
from Boston to New York and as is
her custom, had a private car. The
car was placed in the middle of the
train, and many passengers who sought
the dining car had to pass through the
vehicle for which the princess was
paying a high price.
She thus failed to get the privacy
that she sought, and she has been tell
fling the railroad managers what she
thinks of them. And her thoughts are
not particularly complimentary.

Postal Clerks Pay In Russia.

The remuneration of postal clerks in
Russia includes emoluments which do
not appear in the form OF money. They
are furnished quarters, heat and light,
and in addition allowances for uni
forms as well as medical attendance
and medicine for themselves and their
families. In cities like Moscow a large
hospital is maintained for the conven
ience of postal clerks and carriers
Their children are admitted to the
schools free OF charge. which in Russia
is quite an item OF expense, especially
in preparatory schools for colleges. to
which the children of the titled and
the wealthy only are admitted. The
pay of clerks and carriers ranges from
$3.50 to $1S per month. They may,
moreover, receive gratuities from those
to whom they deliver mail.

ale or beer with the cheese, light the
little lamp and allow the mixture to
become partially warmed and soft be-

Then add, when the cheese is some
