The United States government has OBJ
tanned some court crying for which It
refuses TO pay. H. NJ. Calderwood. OF
Phoenix, Ar.z.. the regular crier in the
Federal Court there, was Ill for several
days recently and he had some one else
take his place as crier during his alb

is a per diem employe he is not entitled
to pay when not actually at work. and
since Calderwood had no authority of
law for employing a substitute the gov
ernment will not pay him either.

The Primary Election

Too great stress cannot be laid upon
the Importance of the direct primary
election on September 10. Not even
the regular election itself is Of more vi
tai moment to the people than this first
test of the Direct Primary law.
Not only is it necessary that the peo-
pie turn out in order to insure the NOM
ination of decent candidates, but it is
imperatively necessary that they turn
out as vindication of the law that res
cues them from machines" and bosses
Every effort is being made to discred-
it the Direct Primary law. Special
Privilege and all it's agents and papers
are trying hard to create Indifference to
it and dislike for it. If, by any chance,
a large vote is not registered on Sep
tember 10, be sure that we will hear a
cry to the effect that the direct pri-
mary is failure" and clamor for re-
turn to. the convention plan.
Who does not remember the abuses Of
the t'boss system? Who would will
ingly return to the days of 'backroom
domination? The only way to guard
against the return of ancient evils is to
go to the polls on September 10! To
stay away is to turn the selection Of
candidates over to the machines" and
to pave the way for the repeal of the
Direct Primary law. Rocky Mountain

Harking Back To Former Methods

The unfortunate accident to the
threshing outfit belonging to w. O.
Young and the delay in receiving re-
pairs, together with the pressing need
for seed grain in this vicinity. have
caused number of the local farmers
to bark back to the methods of former
years when grain was cut with the
scythe and threshed out with fail or by
tread Of feet. Henry Horst brought
about twenty bushels of winter wheat to
Ksota the first of the week that he had
threshed out by driving horses thru the
straw, which had been placed on tight
canvas floor. 1t il slow work, but it
gets the grain, so Mr.. Horst will pro-
badly continue until he finishes his crop,
or until threshing outfit arrives. H.
D. Vawter is using the ld-fashioned
fail to thresh some of his grain, and
while he is not enthusiastic about the
tool and the system it is serving to
supply. seed for earlier planting than
would be possible otherwise. Mr.
Young and the local grain growers will
certainly be thankful when he is en-
abled to start his thresher to going
again.
