Democratic Candidate for County
Sheriff

David J. Ferrie, the democratic can
didate for sheriff on the democratic
ticket is Howard county boy, now
resident on farm in Howard Center
township. That he is popular all over
the county is evidenced by his big vote
in the democratic primary, and we be-
lieve that his popularity is fairly earn
ed, for he is young man of good
habits, affable to friend and stranger
alike, honest and trustworthy in busi-
ness affairs, and with all the physical
requirements occasionally necessary to
the Office for which he is a candidate.
He has the tact and good sense neces-
sary to transact the somewhat dis
agreeable duties that devolve upon
sheriff. without friction or discomfort
and still do them with strictly busi-
ness administration of the office.
Vote for David j. Ferrie for sheriff
and YOU vote to continue the efficient
administration of this highly important
county Office so ably filled in recent
years by representatives of both po-
litical parties.

Democratic Candidate for Clerk of
the District Court.

Frank j. Maruska, the Democratic
candidate for Clerk of Courts to sue
ceed Frank Blandin, is "a years of age,
born in Winneshiek county, of Bohemi-
an parentage;..at the age of nine moving
to Howard county. Nine years of his
life was spent in the mercantile busi-
ness with two firms just over the conn
ty line in Alta Vista, until his reputa-
ton for efficiency and trustworthiness
resulted in his removal at an advanced
salary to Cresco where for nearly three
years he has been at work in the Pc
tersen Hardware store, and has shown
his faith and loyalty to Cresco by buy
ing home here.
Of his qualifications for the office Of
clerk there can be no doubt, as he is a
good penman, accustomed to meeting
and disposing of the problems of public
and business life, correct and pains
taking in all transactions and courteous
and accommodating to marked de-
gree.
He has a wide range of acquaint-
ance in nearly all parts of the county,
who have enthusiastically received his
nomination and intend to cast their
vote for him next November. This is
especially true of many democrats who
in 1910 recognized his opponents claims
.,1 cro,o hin, q ra election withOut on
position, but who now intend to snp-
port Mr.. Maruska for that office.
That Mr.. Maruska speaks Bohem-
ian and German as well as English will
be matter of great convenience to
the Bohemians and Germans who
make up so large proportion of our
county's population.
A vote for Mr.. Maruska is a vote fol
competent and obliging administra'
tion of the duties of the clerk s office

A Transaction In Munnn

A Transaction In Mumps.
Don't come near me-" screamed
Billy, sauntering slowly and deliberate
ly toward the dividing fence; keep
way fom me; they's ketchin'."
Jimmy was sitting on his front steps
and the proverbial red flag could mott
have excited a bull to quicker action!l
He hoped down the steps and RAM
across his own yard toward Billy as|
fast as his short, fat legs could carry
him.
'Git way f'om me; you IL ketch 'em
If you teches me-" warned Billy; "anT
you too little to have EN-" and he
waved an authoritative hand at the
other child But Jimmy's curiosity was
aroused to the highest pitch. He
promptly jumped the fence and gazed
at his chum with critical admiration.
Whats the matter" he inquired,
you got the toothache?"
"TOothache!" was the scornful echo,
well, l reckon not. Git back; don't
you tech 'em; you amt oil 'nough to
have EN-"
Billy's head was swathed in a huge,
white cloth; his usually lean little
cheeks were puffed out till he resem-
bled a young hippopotamus, and his
pretty gray eyes were almost invisible.
you better git way f'om me an
don't tech EN-, like tells you," he re,
iterated. Aunt Minerva say you amt
never had EN- an she say fer me to
make you keep way f'om me cause

"You amt but SIX" retorted angry
Jimmy, "and I'll be six next month:
you all time trying to 'suade little boys
to think you're bout million years
old. You bout the funniest looking
kid they is"
Billy Electrically touched a distend-
ed cheek. "These here is mumps," he
said impressively; IAN when you got
em you can make grown folks do per-
zactly what you want 'em to. Aunt
Minerva S in the kitchen right now
maxim me lasses custard if I'll be
good an stay right in the house an
don't come out here in the yard an
don't give you the humps. Course 1
can't tech that custard now cause

BILE; but she's maxim it jes' the same.
You better git way fom me an not

"Are they easy to ketch?" asked the
other little boy eagerly; '1emme Jest
