With that amount of cash in the hands of the treasurer, we could, after paying all bills and payrolls for the month of March (amounting to about $7000) pay all our city indebtedness with the exception of about $13,300.

ORDER OF NAMES ON THE COUNTY TICKET
WOOD, WITT, WEBB AND MOONEY WERE AMONG HEADLlNERS
 IN THEIR RACES.
Barnes and Riggs Are First Two Names to Appear Under the Roster of Candidates for Legislature.

In political circles there is always desire to be first named on the tick ct among the candidates for the of- flee to which one aspires. In the "old days" the first place on the tick ct usually went to the slate canGi- dates but in more recent years polit- ical states have been in bad odor, and there has been no tendency to unite the interests of various candidates for the different offices.
 But there is an individual advantage no doubt, small as it may be, in be ing at the head of the candidates for a particular office. The advantage at least Is that the voter will have to pass your name before ne goes down the line further to select an opponent.
 The democratic county central com mittee, recognizing the advantage in being "headliaers' on the ticket has made a most fair rule to apply as to who shall be first, the rule being that the first man to pay in his mon ey shall be first to appear on the ticket for that office. the second man to pay second to appear. and so on down the line,
 Secretary Gilbert Hogaboom of the county committee has been most par 1icular in the matter Cf keeping rec ord in this respect All the receipts for the assessments are torn from single receipt book, and the stubs show for themselves.
 Charles Webb was the first of all the candidates to pay, and as a result his name will be at the head of the candidates for sheriff. Smith was sec ond in this candidacy to pay, and is second. and Hugh Hale is third.
 In the matter of the prosecuting attorneys race. the first to pay was Prosecuting Attorney Gibson Witt and he comes first on tke ticket. W. G.
The Sentinel=record., 1914-03-08

Bouic was second to pay and Judge 0. H. Sumpter has third place on the ticket, being the third to pay.
 For county judge, where there are six candidates, but two have paid. The two are Judge Robert Mooney, who will head the ticket, and Judge Afford, whose name will be second The time does not expire when can didates may pay their assessments un- til o'clock in the afternoon of luxt Tuesday, but thereafter no candidate can pay his assessment, and those who had not paid to that time will not be given places on the ticket.
 In the matter of the circuit judge ship Scott Wood was the first to pay in his fee and his name is first on the ticket. James l.. Graham is sec ond on the ticket. and Judge A. Curl occupies the third place o1 the tick ct.
 In the race for representative there are five avowed candidates, but only two of these have paid in. The first to pay in was D. s. Barnes. whose name will be first on the ticket. John A. Riggs paid next, and will have the second place.
 Ill the constable's race there are three avowed candidates, and two of them have complied with the rule up to this time. w. R. Downen was the first to pay his fee, and he is first on the first on the list for this township office Oscar Sullivan was the sec old to pay, and his name will be sec ond on the ticket
 Not all of the candidates who have no opposition have as yet paid the fee, but the following have done so: k. F. Housley for collector; Charles Davis for county clerk; Jesse Mur phy for county treasurer; Dr. J. P. Randolph for county coroner; Dave Crockett for county superintendent.
 Among the candidates for justice of the peace the first name will be that of Jsutice DeVall and Judge Hin- tons name will be second Milan, Kirk, Cohen, Gladson, Tate. McClard Moore and Bell follow in order.
 c. S. McClard had not filed his pledge required under the corrupt practices" act, in time as required by law. and therefore there is doubt as to what will result if he makes the race and is elected. He paid in his fee, waich Secretary Hogaboom re- ceipted for. but the secretary also ins formed him of the law relative to the required pledge, so that he would not be acting inadvisedly in filing his name fer place on the ticket aft CT having failed to comply with the

CHICAGO CITY STORE TOOK IN 1911
The Failure of Sales of Goods at
Cost to the Poor and UnemplOy-
ed Is Admitted.

Chicago's municipal
store for the benefit of the poor and
unemployed, where food could be
purchased at cost, is a failure.
The city fathers appropriated $50
600 for the experiment. The store
opened in the stock yards district on
Feb. 10. The average daily business
since has been $9.11.
Operating expenses, rent, clerk
hire, investigators and other over
head expenses are double the income.
The opening day was the largest in
receipts, $3S.34. The agent explains
the failure thus:
I'VE do not deliver as other stores.
Then we made a rigid investigation
of prospective customers. They must
not own property and must be unem-
plOyed. The name charity has been
saddled on US, and people who ought
to trade will not for that reason. We
will continue, as We expected losses
by selling at cost.

HUERTA DEMOCRATIC IN DAILY
LIFE AND WORKS WHEN AND
WHERE HE PLEASES.

MEXICO CITY.-After a year in
office General Huerta appears in bet
ter health than when he undertook
the presidency. The difficulties he
has encountered have left no stamp
upon his features. Six months ago
some of his friends and most of his
enemies predicted early physical col
lapse, and there were some VINO
would not have been surprised had
his intellect suffered as the result
of the enormous odds.
Take things as they come seems to
have been the lifelong philosophy
of Huerta, tempered always, how
ever. with the belief that all things
come to him who waits, especially to
him who waits for and seizes the big
opportunities. Worrying has never
been one of Huerta's failings. Nor
is he a creature of routine. Regular
ity does not characterize his meth
DDS. He does his work when and
where it suits his convenience, and
all members of his official family, the
public and his private family as well
have to yield.
Long ago he tired of the regular
cabinet meetings and announced
that conferences with his ministers
would take place whenever he sum-
moned them, and there would be no
place regarded as sacred to that Ger
emory. And so it has come ABOUT
