Cooke County candidates are
active at this time. All the pres

for reelection with the exception
of Circuit Court Clerk McMahan.
The race for sheriff promises to
be a very lively affair with several
candidates in the field. The race
for Circuit Court Clerk also is an
open one and with the field full of
candidates, will develop much in
terest before the end. The voters
during the past four years placed
in office several men who have
made splendid regulations and all
offices should be filled by men
of this kind, men whose books
and records will always bear
closest scrutiny.

We carry the announcement
this week of F. G. McGaha for the
office of Circuit Court Clerk. Mr..
McGaha is a former member of
the County Court, having served
from Cosby, but during the past
two years he has made his home
in Newport, and incidently has
spent much of his time about the
court house, where he has been
getting next to the way business
of the Court House should be
done, and he has come to the
conclusion that the people of
Cooke county will make no mis-
take if they elect him as County
Court Clerk. Mr.. McGaha comes
highly recommended, particularly
by himself, and if the Republicans
see fit to give him the nomination
he will make for the county &
good conscientious officer.

Township Plan Increases Taxes.
1.-THE question 4 Is asked many
times If township organization, does
not increase taxes. The answer is,
yes. The reason Is that township or
ganization is added to the, present
county system. When township or
ganizatioh is generally adopted in
Washington, then laws favoring it
will be enacted and it will work as
we'll and with no more expense that
it does in the Older states In
FerndRle township the extra ex-
pense will cover the compensation of
the clerk-treasurer and the three
supervisors amounting to $500.
equal to- about 1-3. of q mill ON the
township valuation.
1 But as it now. is there is one
good feature of the law: the road
taxes levied and raised in the town
ship are spent in the township and,
as has been stated, each road dis
trict in the township gets what it is
entitled to. As high as eight mills
may be levied for the road fund and
every cent is spent. in the township.
Township organization is like
everything else--it will not run it,
self. Good men must be chosen, men
who will give the necessary time and
attention to the township affairs"

FARMERS OPPOSE

this proposed legislation into laws
will in no way help the farmer, but
on the contrary, it will embarass
farm operations by restricting labor
and increase the cost of farm crops.
While we have no quarrel with labor
as an organization, it is not a part
of our duty to help the laboring men

ment to our own interests and might

"As consumer, the farmer will
have to pay more for his machinery
and supplies, including the cost OF
the board and keep of additional la
Dor under the short hours system.
"As taxpayers. the proposed legis-
lation will afford you no relief from
your present excessive burdens but,
on the contrary, the adoption Of these
measures will mean a sharp increase
in the tax levy in order to pay the
large appropriations contained there
in and to support the many new
boards and commissions for which the
new measures provide. These pro-
posed measures are so loosely drawn
and SO conflicting in their provisions
with each other and existing legisla-
ton, that years Of litigation will be
required to establish their legal ap-

taxpayer will pay the costs and all
business interests will assume an at

BY Ttllie Soskin, 10 Years, 1425 North
Nineteenth Street Omaha, Neb.
Once upon a time near Thanksgiving
there were two little boys and their names
were Tom and Dick. Tom was rich and
Dick was very poor. Tom had a little
turkey. SO he said to Dick. "Win you
come over to my house Thanksgiving.
then you can have some Of my turkey
and lots of good things to eat?" IT would
like to 60. but you see have no mother
nor father, and / have no home" So
the other little boy said. Tom. my
mother said that you could come and
stay with U.S." The poor little boy said,
81 will stay with you, but who will be
my mother?' MY mother will take
care of you Just like her own child" So
the poor little boy went. THANKSGIVING
day was the next day. The mother took
little Dick and dressed him up on Thanks
giving and he had a good time. He went
to church on Thanksgiving day and
thanked God for giving him father and
a mother and little brother. On Christ
mas he had all kinds of playthings and
he had a big Christmas dinner. He had
pies and all kinds of things, and he lived
happily all the rest OF the days of his
life.

the mountain was steep. Mamma could
hardly hold herself on the horse, SO she

Martha's horse ran a nail through his

When we first started said to KID,
"Lope, lope; I will not have any fun II
you don't" and he loped. AS soon az we
got home mamma could not bend a mus
Gle, but was glad to say that was not
tired one bit, even IL all the rest were.
I hope that it will not be long before
write again. I enjoy the Busy Bees
anyway. Good-by.
