Mr. Warren has some political en-

office is sure to have, and they are
opposing him because they claim that

payers and therefore preach econ

that Mr.. Warren or the deputies he

Editor Independent:
There are two candidates in the
field for the nomination to the Office
OF county superintendent of schools
in Ward county, on the Republican
ticket. There is no more important
Office to be filled in the county than
this one, therefore I beg space for
few words in behalf of the candidacy
of our present, most efficient super
iEtendent, q. Warren Mr.. War
rem is opposed by j. Frank Scudder
a young graduate of the University Of
Chicago, who came to Kenmare about
two years ago to accept the position
Of director of manual training in the
city shoots of Kenmare; he has also
been teaching history and political
economy in the Kenmare high school
for short time. This appears to be
the extent Of his experience in school
work in North Dakota, according to
his own statement contained in hts
political announcement, published in
a Minot paper. At the same time he
states that ut is an Office that re-
quires a certain educational qualifl-
cation of candidates 2
In that statement I entirely agree
with him; in fact am so strongly
Of that opinion that feel urged to
write few lines in behalf Of our
present Supt. e. G.. Warren.
Mr.. Warren has had nearly TWEEN
ty years Of experience In all lines
Of school work and has been our
most efficient county supsrintendent
for over seven years. Parents and
other voters should be most careful
in casting their vote for candidate
for this oflice.
II space would permit could prove
conclusively that It IL to our best
interests to reflect y. q. Warren.

great western lady getting herself up
in any Of the lovely Oriental gowns
which arc called fashionable by some
people, unless for masquerade, and
there Is no doubt about the fact that
the real great ladies in France do not

more serious things to do, and many
OF them dress with noticeable simple

for great occasions.

as are illustrated here arc always cf-

with fur around the brim. and several

deep fringe, which hung all around, the
