For County Superintendent

More than once the friends of Miss
Carrie Stradal have urged her to be-
come the Republican candidate for
superintendent of the Trego county
schools, but she has always declined
the henor for the reasons that she
wished to complete her college course
and acquire some experience as
high school teacher. All this she has
now accomplished and her friends are
again urging her to become candi-
date with the result that we are au-
thorized to say that she will be pleas
ed to accept the nomination. Miss
Stradal is well qualified for the posi-
ton by preparation and experience
and is very favorably known through
out the county If nominated and
elected, of which there is little doubt,
she will make very capable superin-
tendent She is now teaching in the
high school at Sharon, Kansas. and
doing splendid work. We understand
that Mrs. Philbrook-Jones will not
be a candidate for reelection.

Monarchs of England.

The first to rule over all England
was Egbert. King of Wessex. who
united all the various petty kingdoms
and became King of England in 827.
The greater kingdom was disrupted
from S7S to 95S. when the Danes ruled
north of the Thames In the latter
year King Edgar reunited the king
dom and since that time it has never
been partitioned Between Edmund
Ironside 0O16) and Edward the Con

Motoring at Its Best.

Few motorists know of motoring in
all its ful.ness. They drive along coun-
try roads for a hundred miles or so.
through towns so closely set that they
virtually run through one long village
and they think they have\ motored-
They cross the ocean and enjoy the
perfect roads of France and Switzer-
land. and imagine they have exper-
fenced all there is in life in the motor
car; but no one has ever been brought
to full realization of what motoring
really is. or what the wonderful mod
ern machine of mans creative genius
is really capable of doing until they
have sat in a racing car side by side
with an expert driver and tasted the
sport as 1t is under such conditions.
Lord Byron once wrote: What a de
lightful thing IS a tu-np''re road. sue n
a means OF speeding the earth as
scarce the eagle in the broad air can
accomplish" He certainly spoke in
prophecy of the motor car. and espe-
cially of the racing machine. which

OLD FASHIONED FAMILY PEW
In That Rested the Strength of the
Church, and II Should Be
Restored.

One sometimes hears a deal of non
s-lse about the danger of creating a
prejudice against religion in the mind
of child by making him attend
church once a week The danger
would seem to be about one-tenth as
great as that of arousing prejudice
against education by sending him to
school twice a day In both cases the
remedy lies in the good sense of the
parents and their estimate of the
value of religion and education care
fully instilled into the child's. mind
The strength of the church has been
in the old-fashioned pew. with father
at one end and mother at the other
and stairway of more or less restless
children. From that pew have gone
out the upright. devout, consecrated
men and women who have loved the
church and maintained her worship
and done her work N their several
generations. For the sake of the
! church, and especially for the sake of
the children. let it be restored
If it be impossible for the children
to attend both Sunday school and the
church service. this writer would by
all means teach them the catechism
at home and bring them to church
that they may learn to worship God in
the congregation of his people-South-

SEED CORN

The Farmers Committee have bar
gained for car load of White Hick-
DRY seed corn which is two years old,
absolutely dry and sound and grown
near Palco. 1t is impossible to ship
it in the ear because it is so easily
shelled, so it will be shelled and gra-
ded and we will guarantee 90 percent
of it to grow. 1t will be delivered to
the farmers at exact cost, not to ex-
coed $3.50 per bushel and less if there
is loss in shipment. Must immedi-

The decision of the special commit
tee of the county board which has
been investigating plans for tuber-
culosis sanitarium to recommend the
purchase of at least twenty acres of
land for the institution seems to pre-
clude the location of the new hospital
anywhere in the immediate vicinity of
the city. 1t is not believed hat the
board would care to pay the price that
is being asked for land adjoining the
city and after all the location of the
proposed institution is matter of sec
ondary Importance. The main thing is
to get a place somewhere to care for
the cases of the disease in the ad-
vanced stages and stop the exposure of
the people of the county to contagion
and most of the people who are really
interested in the campaign to stamp
out the disease will approve whatever
choice of site for the sanitarium is
made by the board, the only stipula-
tion being that the site selected is
suited for the purposes of the institu-
ton. 1t is not desirable for the hospi-
tai to lave too many visitors anyway
and people who have business at the
institution can reach it without very
much trouble anywhere in the county.

REFUSED TO OBEY HIS ORDERS
City Council Votes to Give Election
Officials Double Pay for Election To-
day but Fixes Flat Rate for Elections
to be Held in the Future.

Barney Hermann, who has managed
to remain street commissioner of the
north division through many changing
administrations, is off the pay roll for
the first time in years as at the meet
ing of the common council held on
Monday night the north side commits
sioner was suspended from his position
pending the hearing of charges against
him. The charges were made by the
superintendent of the parks and Al
derman Joseph G. Rhode, chairman of
the street committee of the council.
Hermann had been directed to be at
the council meeting on Monday even
ing to defend himself, but he failed
to put in an appearance. A motion
was made to discharge Hermann from
the employ of the city but it was lost
by a vote of to and then the coun-
Gil directed the city clerk TO send
Hermann written notice to appear be-
fore the council at it's next regular
meeting and defend himself. The
council then voted by a unanimous
vote to suspend Hermann pending the
hearing and the street assessment
committee was instructed to hire a
man to act as commissioner of the di-
vison. There have been frequent com.
plants against Hermann and Alderman
Rhode declared that his refusal to
obey orders and take care of work out
lined by the committee had in a short
time cost the city more than $500.
Hermann had been given written
order to take the sweepings from the
street to the west side park and it was
alleged in the complaint against him
that a portion of these sweepings had
been placed on private property re-
CARELESS of the written orders.
The council split badly on the sal
aries to be paid the election officials
for work at the polls today but after
a long debate and after number of
the officials had declared their inten-
