Charles II. Leckenby, Democratic
candidate for auditor of state, is of
the younger element of Colorado
Democracy. He is clean and able,
has been modestly successful in his
own business, and If elected will
serve the people of this state with
the same fiedelity and honesty that
has characterized his life for twenty
six years in Colorado.
The Meeker herald., 1914-10-24

Mrs. Lyttle, the retiring superin-
tendent of schools, set the precedent
that it wasn't in keeping with the
dignity of that Office for a woman
candidate to campaign for the posi-
ton. Mrs. John II. Smith, Demo-
cratic candidate for county superin-
tendent of schools, is following this
precedent, and is not going around the
county in aid of her candidacy. And
speaking of qualifications, rs THE
HERALD has already noted, Mrs.
Smith is eminently fitted for the
position to which she aspires. She
attended the Missouri Normal school
for four years, and after graduating
taught in the schools of Carthage,
Mo-, for five years; then coming to
Meeker, she was successful and
popular teacher in our grade school
for three years.

The production was good upor
it's own merits; the parts Were
cleverly taken, the company was
comprised of good looking persons
who were each adapted to the
particular part of the play whic
they took. The play was emit lee
to much better patronage than b
received, and it is extremely p
fortunate that when such 81 =
does come to Cambridge, the ped Ie
seem unwilling to pay rea
decent price in order to see
decent show. 1t is, too, not IL
class of people who are unable to
attend good shows who stay away,
but, instead, that class which, il
they want to see good, clean, moral
shows brought here, should show
their appreciation by spending q
little of their money and being
present.
The attraction last night was not
offensive in any way; while there
have been a number of shows in
Cambridge that were not all that
they should have been, this one,
and a number of those which have
been booked, are intended to APP
peal to the better element of the
public, those who want to see de-
cent attractions, but this cannot be
done unless the public patronizes
them.

show last night was as follows: +

suITdlnu Fire,

1n building a wood fire in an open fireplace shake out a double sheet of newspaper and crush it tightly, leaving the edges loose. that it may ignite easi- ly. The back log should be of the greatest size that the fireplace will hold and may be of green wood. as this is the slowest to burn out, and the draft and fire are strongest in the back The log should be showed against the wall. If it is split log the inside Of 1t should be turned toward the front Three logs are good number to start a fire with-the back log. a smaller one in front and the third log on top of these. All of the ashes of the first three or four should be left on the hearth. as they make a fine bed for keeping the emberS hot after they have fallen through the andirons. The wood should be mixed in order to have an ideal f1re-green wood with dry, and the harder varieties. oak and pine. with the wood of old fruit trees that have died.
