The main object during his cam

tions must be signed by no less

This per cent is based on the votes

These are the times of petition

These are the times of petition
signing. The various candidates
or their friends will be going
about with these petitions. In
this respect it might be proper to
remind every one that according
to law no voter should sign the pc
tition of two men seeking the
same Office. Thus if you sign the
petition of a candidate for sheriff,
or any other office, you cannot
sign the petition subsequently of
another candidate for. this Office.
You can sign only one petition for
a given Office; not that you might
get into trouble, but the candidate
whose petition was signed last,
must strike your name from the
petition and may be short of sign
ers in the critical moment. The
candidate may not know that you
have already signed a petition of
the rival candidate, SO it is up to
you to remember these things;
otherwise instead of helping him
along you may cause him trouble
--even disqualifying him as can
didate.

THE REASON WHY.
Gene StOtts Is Popular Because He's
Always Helping Someone Else.

There has been much speculation
concerning the popularity Of Commits
sioner E. B. Stotts. A friend who
dined with him on Thanksgiving ex-
plains why everybody is fond of Gene.
1t is partly due to an overgrown heart.
and mostly due to that elusive attri-
butte which Kipling has called the
common touch"
Mr.. Stotts divided Turkey day into
program of three parts-one. din
ner; two, an hour with his faxen-
haired children; three, soccer game
with his guest.
He had reached part two when the
fire engine changed by. Mr.. Stotts
dropped everything, including his lit
tlest boy, and joined the procession,
dog-trotting behind the hook and lad
der.
he plunged into the smoke and helped
the houseT ifC remove her furniture
and photograph albums. Then he
climbed the stairs and helped the fire
men operate the hose. BY this time
the soccer game was called The
commissioners friend sat in the Stotts'
home, reading Kipling and glaring at
the clock.
After the fire was out Mr. Stotts
aided the lady of the house in sweep
ing her kitchen and relaying her rugs,
and setting up the stove pipe that had
been knocked down.
Then he skipped out the door and
turned for home when he noticed the
chiefs automobile was baking. The
commissioner leaned over the engine
and crawled under the wheels. He
was sooty with smoke and caked with
mud AT dusk the car gasped, choked,
and trundled down the street
Mr.. Stotts started home and met his
anxious and irate friend at the corner.
The commissioner grinned with BEAM
ing goodfellowship; he had forgotten
all about the soccer game.

Father Marquette'S Travel

q. S. Fights to Keep Dam Out
of River.

Chicago. December 5-Historical ac-
counts of Father Marquette's journey
up the Des PLANES river in 1873, and
LaSalle's explorations in 1879, are to
be used by the government as evil
dence that the stream is navigable, in
an Injunction suit to be called before
Federal Judge Lands today, to pre-
vent the Economy Light & Power
company from building a dam in the
river at Dresden Heights.
Although the river has not been
used for big boats since it's discovery
the government contends that it was
at that time, and still is navigable,

hinder navigation upon it.
