Importance Of rigid business policy in

the card index system with which the

In conclusion, Mr.. Root writes: "The
work of county treasurer is by no
means unpleasant. While it requires
some time and some effort, yet the
work need never become burdensome.
The treasurer becomes acquainted by
correspondence if not otherwise with
large number of contributors, and
the privilege of reading some of the
letters accompanying remittances in
spires faith and confidence in man.
kind and sends the treasurer on his
way rejoicing"
FINALLY" adds Mr.. Root, "the treas
urer of county committee, if he is
trying to serve the committee to the
best of his ability, after six or sever
years will begin to have his eye fixec
upon his successor, who can carry or
the work in more efficient manner
| then at the proper time resign in his
favor. That is what the writer die
to his own satisfaction and interest
of the cause" ..

Jail MatrOIl \
Job Held Up

From time immemorial in all the
counties of this state and, SO far as
we know, in all the other states OF
the union, the wife of the sheriff has
held the office Of matron without ques-
ton, For the first time in the history
of this county at least, the appoint
ment Of matron has been held up.
Sheriff Gehman appeared before Pro-
bate Judge Kennan on Tuesday and
recommended the appointment OF Mrs.
Gehman as matron Of the county Jail.
Judge Kennan' refused to make the
appointment upon the grounds that
he believed the Office came under civil
service regulations. Sheriff Gehman
then appealed to Prosecutor Under
wood for decision. Thursday af-
ternoon the Prosecutor was found
delving into the legal tones for in
formation upon which to base a de-
cision. Recent statutory changes have
had to do with previous civil service
requirements, but to what extent, Mr..
Underwood did not feel justified to
offer an opinion. Hence, ne immedl-
ately took the matter up with the At
torney General and we will be unable
to give our readers further informa-
ton upon this important and interest
ing question until next week. Mrs.
Young, we are informed, took civil
service examination for this position
several months ago, and claims that
the position is still in her possession
by virtue Of her having successfully
passed the examination. Meanwhile
Mrs. Gehman is fulfilling the duties
of matron, while the former matron
has made no requisition upon the
authorities for her office so far as we
have been able to learn.

WHERE THE FARMERS GAIN

Extensive Investigations into the
profits of farming have indicated
that the amount of money which the
average farmer receives for his
years work i little more than that
which he would be paid if he hired
himself out as a farm hand to one of
his neighbors. In other words,
though the farmer is in bnusiness for
himself, the average farmer gets lit
tie or no money reward for the intel
ligence and skill with which he has
managed his affairs or the risk and
responsibility. he has assumed. But
he must get something in return or
no one would trouble to farm for
himself. A recent study conducted
by experts in the United States de-
partment Of agriculture shows that in
many cases this reward may best be
found in the products with which his
farm furnishes him directly. When
farm is nearly, if not quite, self
sustaining, say agriculture experts,
when it supplies the family that lives
upon it with most Of the necessities
of life, large money income is not
necessary to prosperity. A greater
sum derived from farm which
yields nothing for home consumption
may leave the occupants worse of.

DO IT NOW


If with pleasure you are viewing any
work a man is doing, t
If you like him or you love him, tell
him now,
Don't withhold your appreciation till
the parson makes oration
AS he lies with snowy lilies DER
his brow;
For, no matter, how you shout it, he
won't hear it;
He won't know how many teardrops
you have shed;
If you thing some praise is due him,
now's the time to slip it to him,
For he can not read his tombstone
when he's dead.
More than fame and more than money
is the comment kind and sunny
And the hearty, warm approval of a
friend,
For it gives to life SAVIOR, and it
makes you stronger, Drawer,
And it gives you heart and spirit to
the end;
If he earns your praise -bestow it;
if you like him, let him know it;
Let the words of true encourage
ment be said;
Do not wait till life is over and he's
underneath the clover,
For he cannot read his tombstone
when he's dead!
