TO THE REPUBLICAN VOTERS
OF WARD COUNTY.

1t has been called to my attention
as Chairman of the Republican Cen
trail Committee that the assessors in
the various precincts are registering
the political utilization of the tax pay
ers which is proper and according to
law, but it has also been noted by
them and others that great many
voters are being misled in declaring
their affiliations with what is known
as the Progressive party. The Pro-
gressive party does not mean the pro-
gressive branch of the republican par
ty, but is the independent party
known as the Bull Moose party. Those
who are republicans, whether progress
sives, or such as are known as the
standpatters, should all register their
utilization as republicans. The progress
sive party is not the republican party
or any branch thereof, but is the Bull
Moose party of the United States. If
you wish to declare your utilization
with the progressive republican party
you must register as republican,
and then, of course, vote as your con-
science dictates. Or if you are known
as a standpatter republican you should
register as republican and vote as
you desire, bearing in mind at all
times that the progressives are not
the republican party or branch
thereof, and if you register as pro-
gressive you cannot, without compli-
cations, vote the republican ballot at
the primary.
Dated this 9Th day of March, 1914.

officer proves his worth, he is entitled
to another without opposition.
The Office of county auditor is one
Of the hardest to conduct in the coun-
ty. It requires the closest attention
and an excellent knowledge of book
keeping. Mr.. Thompson has made
many changes in the Office and the
records are now all in first class con-
Sition. He is on the job all of the
time, has surrounded himself with
number of very capable employees and
is giving the very best of service. It
is estimated that Mr.. Thompson has
saved the county no less than $4,000
in various ways since he took charge
Of the Office fact that the voters
no doubt appreciate.

TAKES OTF DANDRUFF,
HAIR STOPS FALLING
Save your Hair! Get a rs cent bottle
Of Danderine right now-AIso
stops itching scalp.

Thin, brittle, colorless and scraggy
hair is mute evidence Of neglected
scalp; of dandruff-that awful scurf
There is nothing so destructive to
the hair as dandruff. 1t robs the hair
of its lustre, its strength and it's very
life; eventually producing a feverish-
ness and itching Of the scalp, which
If not remedied causes the hair roots
to shrink, loosen and die-then the
hair falls out fast A little Danderine
tonight-now-any time-will surely
save your hair.
Get a rs cent bottle of Knowlton's
Danderine from any drug store. You
surely can have beautiful hair and lots
Of it If you will just try little Dan
derine. Save your hair! Try It!

"There's some people in the world
who put off every job they can until
tomorrow. Some men would not take
out life insurance until they are in bed
with the pip and the doc says, Good
night, call in the undertaker!' This
sort of man must have a pleasant
time prowling around through Hades
thinking how much his wife and chill
dren are enjoying the luxuries of life
by taking in the neighbours wash"
. Nothing is ever done tomorrow. To-
days the day.
Now take holes, for instance. A
hole is made in the ground with
spades, hole-diggers, crow-bars, etc.
A hole is an opening to put fence posts
in. Some holes, too, are made by
Carelessness, such as the we'll known
one i'll the bank account. Holes in the
bank account are often dug by de-
lays in putting off farm work from
day to day. Right now is fine young
time to be sorting your seed grain
and throwing out the weeds and when
you come to town, haul load of the
famous Michigan White Cedar fence
posts, so you can get them sharpened
and ready for fine day.
This brings us back to holes, where
we started.
by the time the posts are sharpened
and the seed grain sorted it will be
time to dig those holes, post being
useless without hole. Get it? And
we guarantee that if you do this, the
holes won't be in the bank account.

Nothing to Solve Mystery of the Awful
Disaster in Cumbre
Tunnel.

Cumbre, Chihuahua, Feb. 10.-Noth-
ing but charred bones and buttons
were found by the rescuing party
which with the aid of oxygen helmits
and pulmoters succeeded in penetrat-
ing the Cumbre tunnel from the south
portal as far as the locomotive and
first two cars of the passenger train.
These bones are supposed to be the
remains of the engineer and fireman
Of the Inflated passenger train. They
were probably killed when their en-
CINE crashed into the burning freight
train which had been pushed into the
tunnel by Castillo's bandits several
hours before.
1t Is now believed hat everyone of
the so or more passengers, including
the crew, which were aboard the train
when it dashed into the tunnel last
Wednesday night, are dead. Whether
the train was hurried into the tunnel
to escape being captured by Castillo's
bandits or sen h~eadlong to it's de-
struction by the bandits may never
be known.
