PvTHIAN DANCE A SUCCESS.

Young folks and old folks alike, and
particularly those with terpsichorean in
clinatons, are still talking about the
Anniversary ball given by the members
of the Pythian Sisters lodge at the
Schmadeka han last Friday evening. 1t
is the concensus of opinion and the un-
animous verdict of all who attended
that the hall has never been more
tastefully and beautifully decorated a
profusion of evergreen boughs and the
use of shaded colored lights creating an
effect of almost thaumaturgical beauty.
An orchestra composed of Dale Fulton,
James Wood, Charles Branscombe, Ed
Abrahamson and Roy Gillette provided
excellent music.

bunch Of photos taken last spring by
j. w. Jones who is the right hand
man in the offices of the Frisco fair

Whithn' Bill Talks on Election

Down on Main street, opposite the viii
lage barber shop. there's row of wood
en- benches in the sun, just off the side
walk, where a few citizens are wont to
meet on days of fair weather to whittle
and swap yarns and whittle.
The BARRIERS have playfully dubbed the
daily sessions as a meetin of the

But the whittlers ignore the idle jest
and keep on whittlin'.
The kingpin of the jackknife brigade

round a pine knot in the bench seat
when Mr. Dubious Voter ambled along
and sat down on the bench.
He was within visiting distance of
Bill.

Voting BY MAIL

considered by the election commission
of Milwaukee. Several of the com
missioners are known to be much i'm
pressed with tbe nlan. and It looks MS
if Governor Walsh will have to hurry
if he wants to lead the way. The
governor is irving ia work out a prac-
tical plan of voting by mail. He
might secure assistance from the Mil
waukee scheme.
The western city's plan calls for
placing the ballots in the hands of the
voters about 10 days before the pri-
maries or elections are held. Three
enyelopes are necessary. The largest
envelope. which is addressed TO the
voter it is proposed. would contain a
return envelope properly stamped and
addressed to the election commission.

the VOTER seals his ballot after he has

The Office Seeks the Man.

What is a greater compliment to
citizen than when in office to make
such friends by faithful attention
to duty, and courteous treatment, that
after your term of Office has expired,
and you have settled down to other
business, to have them insist that you
again serve them. For the past three
weeks numerous citizens of Polk
County have appealed to E. NJ. Smith,
or rather Ed, as he is familiary call
ed to allow them to circulate petitions
for his candidacy as county clerk.
He has finally consented and it is
without parallel record, that no pc
titions were ever circulated and sign
ed within so short a time. This
shows plainly that servant of the
public who has the public interest at
heart is not soon forgotten and time
fails to erase the good deeds and hop-
est and economic work of those who
are faithful to their trust. The of
fee seeks the man is true in Ed.
Smiths case.
