The county campaign meeting at

isfactory occasion to the candidates
for they had an attentive and inter-

amid pleasant surroundings and all
the speakers were at their best. The
meeting was held in a shady grove
near the school house. a stand had

that the attendance was not larger.
At / o'clock the speaking was sus-
pended and a most tempting and
bountitul dinner was served. The
long table near the speakers stand
was literally loaded with everything
that hungry human could wish for
there was barbecued lamb. barbe-

After dinner the speaking was con-
cluded in time for the crowd to at
tend baseball game between the
Wedgeheld team and one from East

the standard Of the dinner. but the
players are to be excused since it is

Major Caldwell of Topeka has
a suggestion concerning the pay
ment of pension checks that
seems to be a good one. 1t vir-
tually amounts to making each
government postofice a pay sta
ton for pensioners.
Instead of keeping an army OF
clerks at Washington after the
various pension agencies are
abandoned, as they will be in
January. he would make each
postofice a Suspension agency
where the checks would be issued
to the veterans who received
their mail at that Office.
It looks feasible and economi.
