court we take the following:
E. A. BoYCE, CLERK

papers and other documents made
and kept at Evening Shade by E. A.
Boyce in person and find that they
are neatly, carefully and in all but
a very few instances correctly
written, and in those instances he
has very cheerfully made correc-
tions. We find that the tax books
are almost free from errors; that
the reports, exhibits and settlements
Of the various funds are set forth in
a manner that render them easy for
one to understand. We find that
the records and documents made
and kept at Hardy in the Northern
District, principally the work of
Deputy Clerk Neil Sullivan, are
neatly and almost correctly kept"
J. H. KIRTLEY, SHERIFF

ments of j. H. Kirtley, sheriff and

errors and erroneous assessments

tlement with the county treasurer
or all funds collected by him for
the road, special school and general
county funds, and has exhibited
treasurer's receipts for them and
has proper credit therefor on the
record of official accounts. We
find that he has collected and paid
into the treasury all the fines that
he Is chareable with the collection
Of, except those fines which are
not yet due and payable"

other sources. We have taken the

him and compared same with his
records and find them all correctly
charged, We have examined his
settlements, approved by the coun-
ty court, and are informed by Judge
W, T, Horn that he has made an
actual count of the funds IN the
possession of the treasurer and that

This is the time of year when the necessary precautions should be
taken to proven. a N epidemic of typhoid, scarlet fever and other diseases
which arc due to the unsanitary conditions of IL houses and back
wards. A close inspection should also be given o the plumbing work
in houses, hotels and public buildings, as there is nothing danger
JUS to health than sewer gas, n of the most deadly posons, and a
sure breeder of the above mentioned diseases. There is a law giving nc
Labor commissioner power to visit make examinations and repu:
thereon, if any unsanitary conditions in buildings and surroundings are
found. We would respectfully suggest to him that the basement of the

PIPES EOR WONIEN-

An editorial in a Sunday paper, en-
titled pipes for Women" and in
which il was stated that, lin the new
S15O,OO0 womans building at the
Ramsey county poor farm there is to
be an elaborate smoking room for old
women, fitted in modern STYLE" made
me think Of a remark an Italian made
to me on the occasion of his first visit
TO this country.
you Americans are so inconsist-
ent." he said What is right in one
part Of the country is wrong in an
other. You can pay a half dozen
prices for the same thing. / can get
dinner and a bottle of wine at one
place, for the price 1 pay for the
same wine alone at another hotel.
Even a newspaper is one price in my
room at the hotel; snOther if l buy
il on the street.
/ wonder what he would think if
he could read all that has been said
and written. about women and cigaret
smoking, condemned as one Of the new
vices of women; forbidden in certain
places. IMPLYING certain phases of
worldliness; and then read, that a
smoking room Of most modern style
has been built by the state, in a poor
farm.
We do not begrudge the old ladies
they can get out Of life, even if il goes
up in smoke. 1t gives me pleasure to
think OF them around the fire on
wintry evening talking over the past,
comparing the past with the present
the European war and its new methods
of warfare with the war between the
north and south with its almost hand
70 hand struggle with old ammuni-
ton, which most Of them can remem-
Der
Don't you think they will talk over
the change that has come in the lives
OF women. since the III when they
were young and woman's kingdom
was in the four walls OF her home
contrasting it with today when worn-
ans power Is growing and she is con-
tinually conquering new territory,
taking her place in every field OF
progress.
Oh. there is much to talk over.
what does il matter If that modern
setting is a little out OF keeping with
the memory OF the days that are gone
What If my Italian friend does think
we are inconsistent Let the old Ia
dies have their pipes and the remin-
iscences which We always associate
with a pipe and tobacco smoke.
