the expense; ofsthe tax payers.
We. pledge the nominee for county
commissioner named in this conyen-
ton to rigid policy Of economy In
the expenditure ofpnblfc funds. and
demand of him. if he is elected, that
he secure a full days work for a rea-
sonable days wage. and that he emf
ploy people for public. service upon
The roads and other public work who
are qualified. to perform the work to
be done, lust as he would if he were
doing the work on his own personal
account and paying the bills out Of
his own pockets.
We further censure and condemn
the county court for selling the good
roads bonds for less than par value
in violation of law, and demand OF
them that they make restitution of
1.-THE amount thus lost to the tax pay
ers.
Favors County Salaries Law.
We express in unequivocal terms,
our disappruval- of the law by which
cxorbitant fees are paid to county
IoniciaIs; and hold that it is prepos-
terous outrage upon the good bust
ness Judgment of any community,
and the ta3 payers thereof. to pay
many times. in fees, what the actual
service iof, the county officials is
worth to. the people. and we demand
| the repealI Of the law which makes
litpossi bleI for sheriff in a county;
| like Marion ito receive for his services
Iappr.ixsiimately $4,000 per year fob
Ih islseTvteeS,t and for the clerks q nt tq2EE
courts to receive $4,000 to $i0.oo0
Irer year for their services, when just
us good men can be employed upon a
Istraight salary basis to do the same
work for mere fraction of the
amount paid under the fee system,
and we hereby instruct the nanlinees
for the legislature named by tins
convention, If elected, to vote for and
| to do all within their power to Sc
cure the passage of an adequate
county salaries bill fixing fair and
adequate compensation for the ser
vices rendered.
We believe that with such a law

dollars can and will be saved to tho

Gallavan's Return

Thomas Gallavan and family have
returned from ave weeks motor
trip and vacation. They we're ac-
companied by G. II Inman and fam
lily OF Las Auimas and Mrs. Monette
OF Denver, a sister OF Mrs. Gallavan.
They visited 10 Salt Lake City and on
the return trip stopped in Evanston,
Rock Springs, Rawlins and Lara
mie, Wyoming. At Saratoga, Wyo-
ming, they stopped for fishing and
from there came into Denver.
Mr.. Gallavan says the Lincoln high
way that has received so much publi-
city is a Joke, and any one going
through Wyoming should avoid this
route. This highway is direct from
Denver to Salt Lake City and Mr..
Gallsvao says the most of IL is a road
OF rocks, sage brush and rattlesua kes.
He hasn't any love for such public
highways, and says they call it an
automobile road, but tits almost i'm
passable with a burro. The trip In
cluded 1900 miles and all the auto
worry they had was one tire pune
ture. The GaIlavans are very much
benefited by the trip, but are glad to
get back to home and Ordwsy.

iowa In Republican.

Upton Advertiser: Judging from
newspaper comment over the state
the result of the Monday primary Is
generally acquiesced in by republican
voters. The bitterness which has
marked other primaries was notice
ably absent this year. Senator Cum
Minis remained at Washington attend
ing to his Official duties and only a
perfunctory campaign was made in
his behalf. The large majority given
him over his opponent leaves no
room for doubt as to his being the
overwhelming choice of his party.
This year the result is being accepted
by men who have always opposed him.
Governor Clsrke was renominated by
a large majority over both his oppo-
nents. With these men at the head
OF the ticket and all signs pointing to
reunited republican party there
would seem to be little doubt as to

AN uNpEREsTIMATED FOE.

II ten terrible monsters came every
spring to this country and all sum
mer long devoured the people. chew
ing babies as we eat blackberries, bit
ing of the heads Of young men. gor-
ing the aged to death and stalking
about among us as lion among the
martyrs of the Coliseum, we should
be up and doing, militia would march
forth to give them battle. colonels
would wave swords, guns would belch
and no enthusiasm would be lacking.
But when the monster is small and
playful and common we let him raw
age. He doesn't somehow appeal to
our Imagination, says the Ottumwa
Courier.
Yet he does more harm, being TO-
100000, 900 or SO. than any ten mino-
taurs, polyphemuses or dragons that
ever posed in the pages of tradition.
He is the common house fly.
Although much has been said about
him and his deadlinsss, the people are
not yet alive to the enormity of his
crimes. There are thousands of kitch-
ems where flies still swarm and infect
the food, thousands of babies ovsr
whose faces and upon whose lips flies
spread their poison, thousands OF res
taurants and lunch counters where
flies are busy at the work OF thinning
out the human race.

we gained from 81 cars to 161 cars
1864 bushels. In 19o9-10, we gain %
$40 cars, or total OF l99,1SS bushels
For the season of 1901, we increas-
ed to 436 carloads, 261.30S bushels.
The season of 1912 was bad year
There was but very little crop In
Maine, but we shipped 276 carloads,
173,325 bushels In the year 1928,
that is. last year, we shipped 4SS car
loads, 29s,773 bushels, and this year,
