WILL THE COUNTY COURT
HAVE THE COURAGE?

In the depleted condition of
the county treasury, to which
we called attention in these col
umns in our last issue. the ad-
ministrative officers of the coun-
ty ar. met with condition
that will. we freely grant, re-
quire considerable courage on
their part to overcome and re-
store the finances Of the county
upon salts factory basis. The
situation should be approached
with that spirit OF manliness
which alone can solve an unsatis-
factory business proposition.
This year a new county court
will be elected, and we assume
that both of the present district
judges will be candidates for re
election; the Judge presiding, it
is reported, being disposed to
retire, which, if true, should
place him beyond the influence
of personal political interest in
meeting the question. The
treasury deficit of more than
$4,000 is sufficient evidence that
the county revenues are no,
large enough now, nor have they
been so for several years, to
meet the growing expenses of
the county; therefore, admitting
that curtailment of expenses suf
ticient to produce surplus from
the present revenues is out of
the question, only one recourse
is left, to raise more revenue.
To do this will require a sub
stantial increase in the assessed
valuation of property in the
county. Will the present coun-
ty court, sitting as board of
equalization next April have the
courage to make this increase,
or will the members seeking re-
election be recreant to their du
ty to curry favor with voters?
Such a man would not be tit for
any office, and this paper would
not support him. In the event
that the present county court
fails to take the necessary steps
to provide a relief for the county
treasury, this paper will call up
on the respective candidates
seeking a place on the county
court bench to declare their at
titude on the question of ade
quatelv financing the county be-
fore the primary election is held.
A surplus is easier to handle
than deficit; a deficit in the
county treasury is reflection
upon the community. and kick
as they may-and will-the tax
payers must sooner or later pro
duce the money to pay Off the
outstanding obligations of the
county. Will our county court
have the courage to require it of
them?

How to Eradicate
All Superfluous Hair

AS soon as women of to-day learn

by reaching the hair root and not by
using common, worthless depilatories
such as burning pastes powders, evil

be for their happiness and safety Nor
can the electric needle be depended up-
on to give absolutely perfect results
without danger of horrible scars or
facial paralysis. The best means / have

all signs of disfiguring growths of hair
on the face. neck, arms or hands. is a
simple, inexpensive pre- paration called
Mrs. Osgoods Wonder. 1t is absolutely
harmless, cannot injure the skin or
complexion and in a surprisingly large
number of cases has succeeded in kill
ing the hair down to the very roots

are killed no more hair can grow. Won
