Make a Living
In County Office
Follow the Instructions Gived
Below and You Will Be Sure
to Get q Good Positfon

The clerk of court is the Fly
wheel of the district court ma
chine, and without the clerk,
district court can only wobble
along. To be a clerk of court,
You must be elected by the en-
ightened and uneni ghtened vot-
ers Of your county. Before an
nouncing your candidacy for the
office, first get the vote in your
vest pocket and you will Land the
office. The office is highly re-
numerative, and requires a med
ium mind and fairly strong
back and a reinforced seat to
your pants to run it. Your duties
consist Of unlocking the office in
the morning, and opening the
safe; then make yourself COM
Portable in an easy chair or roam
around the court house swapping
lies with the other officers, es-
pecially if you find them busy.
(The hardest work some of the
clerks of court have is to blow
in all the money that has been
received as trust money in their
office during their term.) If pa
pers are sent you for filing, throw
them into the waste basket until
the basket is full, then there will
be enough work to require a days
work in filing them. Pay no at
tentjon to the demands of the at
tomeys, they are only servants
of the court and don't count
anyhow.
If you have two terms of court
a year, you will have to really
work for three or four weeks of
the year. However, don't go to
the bother of learning the neces-
sa1y oaths to administer. to the
witnesses and jurymen. just hire
some sorrel-topped little wart
who can talk good broken Eng
lish to learn and administer the
oaths, and let him be your deputy
and sit in the court room and at
tend to your duties. Then you
can 60 back to your office and
take it easy. The voters and
taxpayers like to see how brainy
you are in these matters. By
following these instructions you
should be able to retain your Of
fice at least one term. By q
clerk of court, Denhoff Voice.

more horses, more mgs-all of
which spells prosperity to any
farming community. The corn
acreage tributary to Washburn
this year will be three times
greater than in any other year
in the farming history of this sec

market this year Will be reclzoned
as not in the business at all.

By the end of 1914 there will
be at least, ten silos within a
radius of seven miles of Wash
burn. The distinction Of having
had the first si]o erected on his
farm in these parts falls to Fred
Schofiel who, last year COM
menced the conversion Of his big
farm five miles west of town in
to a place Of general farm di-

from 120 to 100 tons and the
price from $355.OO to $445.OO for
the material delivered at Wash

construction is to be added and
this is calculated at from $50 to
$75. Ole Holtan and Ben John

year to fill the silos of the other
silo purchasers.

From the above article under

ceedings carried on as they
should be in this county. Mclean
would do well to follow in the
footsteps Of Ward county.
Minot, N. D., March 25.-The
entire city is in a furore over the
high tax question raised by
f. several peppdry editorials in the
local daily papers. While the
question is a popular one, nothing
has been started before along the
lines now advocated by the pa
pers and the public is divided
over the question. Several city
officials are highly indignant con-
cerning the stories and feel that
their ability has been questioned.
The association Of commerce has
ordered its secretary to make q
| thorough investigation Of the
problems concerning tax burden
and special assessment and the
qualification of this report will
have great deal to do with the
decision of the citizens. Mean
while, it is the topic Of the day
and some radical measures may
be taken in the near future.

ness institution. for a city is just as
much of a unit as is a business con-
Germ. The successful city is one
wherein the street system is Il unit.
Lack of continuity in the street sys-
tenn leads to great loss Of time In

porting goods.
what other cities Are Doing.
City planning, though compare
lively recent in this country, has
been actively in force in Europe for
over fifty years. Germany and Eng
land now have national laws which
require the establishment Of develop
ment plans for each municipality,
large or small.
Paris. the world-famous city of
beauty. does not possess its proud
! title because of mere chance for the
operations of Baron Haussmann,
which made Paris what it is today,
cost that city over 100000, 900.
London could hovo been a city far
! different from what is now is had it
been rebuilt along the lines sug-
geated by Sir Christopher Wren. after
the great fire OF 1866. Failure so to
/ do, however. has cost that city $780,,
100000 to date, ana inestimable mill
lions are yet to be spent i'm correct
! ing errors committed since Wren
day. 1t is estimated that two pro-
posed new thoroughfares will cost
Sl25, 600 600 for land damages alone.
other foreign cities which are fol-
lowing out extensive city plans are
Berlin. Stockholm, Dresden, Munich,
Budapest. Vienna. Dusseldorf, Rio de
Janeiro. Bucnos Aires and Manila.

American example OF city planning.

then vide waste of swamps aud
hills, and the plan drawn FOR city
greater than Paris. became the laugh-
ing stock OF All. Yet the foresight of
a few of our wise f0refathers Ccitt-
zens1 enabled the architects dream
for 81 national centre To become a.
reality of which we can all justly he
proud.
Cleveland Is spending $4,000, QUO to
create new civic centre aud the
railroads centerins there are building
a new station, as a part of the whole
scheme, at a cost of from S8.oooooq

Chicago has conceived great plan
/ Tor the development of a central traf-
&c circuit, n civic centre and i'm
mense improvements along the lake
front The plan is a wonderful Gre
alton and is receiving the support Ii
/ deserves.
New York. Philadelphia. st. Louis.
Portland. Seattle, Brooklyn and
many other cities are all contem-
plating or have actually undertaken
huge expenditures to carry out their
respective plans.
What does this all mean? simply
this: That the wise men OF today
