or retain it completed the proof.
When the times arrived for the
primaries and the elections, there
were, Of course, a few individuals
who wanted Office. and some minor
political features in the various
contests, but the real. vital, throb-
bling issue at stake was not what POI
litical party or faction was to sue
coed, but what BANK WAS TO
HANDLE THE COUNTY FUNDS.
The whole fight circled around
and about this issue. All else was
of minor Importance.
The Star was one Of the earliest
to point out that the people, not
any private institution, should have
any benefit that came from the use
Of the county money. II stuck TO
that point consistently, year after
year, taking opportune times to
lay the question before its readers.
It tried to do so in a dignifled, inn
partial manner, without personal
ity, but whenever a newspaper at
tempts TO champion right principle
the putting into effect of which af-
fects individuals, the personal side
is bound TO come out unpleasantly,
and the road to the final success
is lined with more thorns than
roses. There were friends, of
course, some who, like The Star,
stood for the idea that the people
should receive pay for the use of
their money from principle only,
and others who might hope to profit
by a change.
The fight was a long one, but as
always is The case, the right wins
in the end, and the taxpayers of
Polk county will receive for use in
the schools very substantial sum
OF money henceforth, coming from
that bank or banks that see fit to
pay the highest price for the priv
ilege of being designated by the
county court as county depository,
one or more. The only contest in
the matter now is What institution
is willing OF pay the people the
most for the benefits it may derive?
And, even better, perhaps, feat
ure has been eliminated from coun-
ty politics that can we'll be spared.
The question now can well be:
What candidate for office is best
fitted TO give the people good serv-
ice?

BE Afraid of the Little Fly.

Because the fly is small and
does not roar like a lion, or de-
YOUR its prey at mouthful,
mankind has paid little atten-
ton to it. But the fly is as
deadly a foe to civilization as
any of the pests of more fear
some aspect which man has
made it his business to extermin-
ate. The fly's attack is insidi-
Gus and therefore the more to
be guarded against. He buzzes
into the house. drops his deadly
disease germs where they will
fertilize, and buzzes out again
70 pick up a fresh cargo.
Swat him. He is your enemy.

BSt accord ing to the Oriental Economic Review the Korean considers himself especial ly abusive when he calls a person his child or grandchild. When he wants to call somebody down the Korean demands hotly, Are you not my child?" And the angry retort is: "What! your child? You are my grandchild." Then the first goes a step further and cries, You are a grandchild of my grandchildp' to which the rejoinder is: You conceit- ed fellow!

A Bird That Ia Feared,

The elster (Pica candata) Is a bird that is respected and feared through out south Germany. It belongs to the raven tribe and is about the size of a dove. with black and white feathers and long, pointed tail. It builds its nest in orchards, and its life is sacred. If it is seen three times in succession on the same housetop in a place re- mote from its home 1t is believed to be a sure sign of death in that house. If 1t flies over a house where any one Is Ill and gives its peculiar cry the sick person Is sure to die, but If it does not scream the patient may recover. It is better for the sick person if the bird does not come near. No one could be hired to bother these bl4Is for fear they might seek revenge, and if by chance one of them should die 1t is a sign of bad luck to the owner of the property where 1t Is found The bird is a valuable insect destroyer and in this way probably more than com pensates for the fear it occasions among the farmers.
