VACUUM CLEANERS
DANISH DUST CAPS

Sweeping a house used to-be a trying
ordeal for many woman. After put
ting on the oldest clothes the hair
was covered with a dust cap and the
work began. With the first stroke of
the broom the dust began to rise in
clouds and soon it was filtering the
furniture, the pictures and on every
thing else. After the sweeing was
done the whole house had to be gone
over with a damp cloth to remove this
covering of dust And, quite obvious
ly, the curtains and the walls were
not busted each time the floor was
swept.
Those who suffered with throat
trouble often found that the dust rails
ed by the process of sweeping almost
overcame them and made sweeping
day the bane of their lives. 1t remain
ed for an inventive genius to perfect
the electric vacuum cleaner which
sweeps and dusts at the same time
The vacuum cleaner sweeps thorough

dust like broom. The strong sue

ticles of dirt into the reservoir where

ARE you PAYING YOUR oEsrY

We come into this world in debt. We owe past
generations for all the work that they have done
in bringing the world from its early stage OF saw
agery to modern conditions. For all of the advan-
tages in moral mental and physical life that
today enjoy are debtors to forefathers. We
cannot pay this debt to them because they dead
and gone but that does not mean that cannot
balance the account with humanity. We can each Of
do small part in cooperating with our fol-
low in improving conditions We can Join
local Commercial Club and help make our COM
munities better places in which to live, through
them we can endeavor to hasten the day when un
iversal justice will prevail, through them we can
work for better homes, better educational facilities,
better moral communities, better and more health
full physical conditions.
We often hear men say, 1.-The world owes me
living" That's not true The world owes us moth
ing We owe the world the best that Is in We
often hear men say why should l join your COM
mercial club or help in the communities advance,
it don't get me anything. man who refuses help
in his communitys advance is living upon the the
charity of past generations and off his neighbors
who do community work. After ALL it's not what
you get out of thing, but what you put into it,
that counts in the long run.

REMEMBER the MAINE.

The Post, published in Havana.
Cuba. had the following editorial on
the burial of the victims OF the ex
plosion on the Maine:
The last victims of the Maine were
returned to the embrace Of earth at
Arlington cemetery yesterday. Side
by side in hallowed ground they sleep
for all eternity All that grateful
nation can do for its noble dead has
been accomplished.
A chapter has been written into
history which will inspire to patriot
ism generations yet unborn. Not for
to their deaths in Havana harbor on
naught did the men Of the Maine g.
that fateful February night. Their
sacrifice made a people free With
their untimely end there was written
new name in the scroll of nations.
The Maine will be remembered as
long as there exists love of freedom
and liberty on the face of tn. earth.
The silent mounds in Arlington and
the remembrance of the shattered
mass of iron and steel at the bottom
Of the Gulf of Mexico will be an cter,
nal inspiration to men with love OF
country and with hearts that beat
with sympathy and sorrow for the op-
pressed and downtrodden.
Remember the Name has a new
meaning today. The vengelul sfgniti-
canoe of the cry is lost in a higher and
nobler sentiment. TO remember the
Maine is to remember liberty, fra
ternity, equality, that inspired love OF
country that makes men 60 to death
with smile on their lips, which robs
the grave of terror aud death of vic
tory.
The bodies of the sailor lads are at
rest in the land that saw their birth.
Their souls have long been at rest
with the Great Admiral who looked
down on their bursting ship and gath
cred them to his breast, and who will
Remember the Maine" with exact
Justice. To Him there is no mystery
as there is no death.

THE COUNTY AUDITOR MESS.

Louis Larson, the county auditor, tries to excuse
himself for his refusal to allow an Independent
representative an opportunity look over the copy
OF the official proceedings for the past year. but the
general impression is that his reasons are pretty
Himsy. We don't intend to carry a lengthy wordy
war with Mr.. Larson. The facts OF the case are
simply these We engaged J. w Rode, good
honest competent accountant, to look up certain
records for us at the auditors Office never
pecting that Larson would refuse him access to
whatever books he wanted to see. Larson first told
him ne could examine the records if the commits.
sioners We're willing and the county dads seemed
perfectly willing. but said that Larson was the
custodian of the records, it was up to him. When
1t came to show down, worthy auditor re.
fused point blank to let Mr.. Rode see the book
containing the proceedings of the commissioners.
He didn't give any at the time, but Friday
morning called at the Independent office and told
us that either Mr. Trnax Mr.. Colcord could see
whatever records they desired, but he didn't want
that man Rode around the Office Fact of the mat
ter is, Mr. Rode is more familiar with the records
OF that office than either of the members of the firm
and that's why we engaged him. He is tax payer,
and il either member of this firm has right to see
the records, Mr. Rode must certainly have the same
right If the law will compel Mr.. Larson to allow
Mr.. Rode to search those records we'll that he
does so. If not, then the tax payers will have to

secure that information We don't charge anybody
with anything What we want to do is to make

to mutilate them. We think that we ought to be
entitled to much consideration as any other tax
payer 1t seems that Mr. Larson thinks not.

E. G. Warren is going to make another effort to
secure the nomination and election to the Office Of
county superintendent. Mr.. Warren has held this
office for eight years and during this time, the
schools of the county have developed to Z remark
able degree. Mr. Warren has given such satisfac-
ton that 1t might be said that during the past two
three campaigns, he was reelected without op
position. He may have opposition this year, but
it will take some mighty hard work and some good
strong talking points to beat him.

under no obligations to him or any

Furthermore, I believe that the
