JUDGE W. T. HORN
Popular County Judge Announces As
Candidate For Second Term.

County Judge W. T. Horn seeks
another term in the office he now
occupies, and makes the fact known
in the columns of the Record, The
Record ccu'd say nothing to its read
ers by way of introduction of Judge
Horn. There are but few people
doubtless in the county who do not
know him, and he is today one of
the county's most popular officials. In
announcing for second term as
county judge he is able to take be-
fore the public a good record made
during the term he is now serving.
The county has been unfortunate
duripd the time Judge Horn has
been in office, The great overflow
in August cost the county thousands
of dollars in damages to its bridges,
and the repair Of this damage has
devolved upon Judge Horn, with
the result that there will be no re-
reduction in county Indebtedness
during his term, such as he had
hoped for, and such as would surely
have been but for this disaster.
However, Judge Horn has given no
little of his time and salary to a
sensible and profitable solution of
these matters, and if at the end of
a second term he should be able to
90 out of Office and leave county
finances in as good shape as he found
them when he took charge of the
judges office he would be perform
ing good service, Our opinion is
that judge Horn handled the bridge
repair question in the best way that
was open to him, and that he deserv-
es credit for the care he has exer-
cised in the matter.
II there has been criticisms of
Judge Horns actions on the bench
they have by no means been gener-
al, He is fair and discreet, and
shows every disposition to track the
law, He is a man whom every
body believes wants to do right, and
for that reason he Is safe man.

DR.. BR0UGH SPEAKS HERE
Candidate For Governor Addresses
Good Crowd Wednesday Night.

DR.. c. H. Brough of Fayetteville,
candidate for governor, addressed a
large number of people at the court
house Wednesday night, and made
one of the best aud cleanest address,
es ever made by a political candi-
date here.
Owing to the fact that this paper
was already almost ")ae up at that
time, we are unable to give a
lengthy account of DR.. Brough's
speech However, he declared him
self in favor of a short-term loan
with which to meet the states in
debtedness, and then rigid economy
to prevent another predicament of
the same sort. He declared there
IS graft III the states management,
ana promised 10 use the power OF
the governors office to prevent that.
He favored a new primary law that
will insure honest elections, the
abolition of county board of equal
izatioD, and the establishment of
township assessors as an aid to
the county assessors. He made a
strong plea for equal taxation. He
favors statewide prohibition, and is
strong for the educational interests
of the state
DR.. Brough impressed all his
hearers with his earnestness and
honesty, and 1t is safe to say he
made many friends while here.

20 days. She was one of the bright
est young girls of the community

20 days. She was one of the bright
est young girls of the community
and highly esteemed by her school
mates, and was loved by all who
knew her. She was devoted to her
parents and her home, and her
death came as a shock to all.
But amid the darkness of the
gloom ray of joy comes to our
hearts in the fact that she was pre-
pared to 60. She professed religion
and joined the Cumberland Presby-
terian church last March. Ollie
was indeed a true Christian, always
loyal and devoted to her church and
Sunday school.
We will surely miss her, for she
was ever ready with cherry word
and pleasant smile to brighten the
pathway of all who came near her.
Therefore we extend to her grief
stricken father and mother, brothers
and sisters our deepest sympathy in
their great sorrow, and remind them
that He that doeth all things we'll
will brighten their sorrow in this
dark hour, and that one day they
will meet her again where eood.byes
are never said.
She is at rest and some sweet
day we shall see her again.
Safe in the arms of Jesus,
Safe on his gentle breast,
There by his love overshadowed
Sweetly her soul does rest.

Winona Arm,

TALKS ON THRIFT
Harry Lauder On Thrift

Harry Lauder, the famous Scotch come dian, who has made millions laugh. and who commands fabulous salary for his vaudeville sketches, believes in thrift. He wouldn't be a Scotchman If he did not. Easy come, easy go." Is the rule in pro- fessions where big money is made for little effort. The theatrical profession is noted for It's spending propensities, but Harry believes in saving. Out of his earn ings he accumulated enough to subscribe $50 GOO to the British war loan-patriotism at per cent
 Harry has few homely maxims on thrift that have been widely circulated during the war period, in the hope that his followers would profit thereby. ''Mither wadna waste" says Harry, and I would be disgracing her memory if l wasted" Here are some of his rules:O
 1. Behave toward your purse as you would to your best friend.
 9. View the reckless spending of money as criminal and shun the> company of the reckless spender.
 8. Dress neatly, but not lavishly. A bank pays a higher rate of interest than your back.
 4. Take your amusements judiciously. You will enjoy them better.
 5. Don't throw away the crusts-eat them. They are as nourishing beef.
 6. It is more exhilarating to feel money in your pocket than peer in your stom- ach.
 '. Remember, it only takes 20 shillings to make a pound, and 12 pennies make shilling.
 8. You can sleep better after hard days work than after hard days idle- ness.
 g. Get good value from your tradesmen.

Coke Market

The Connellsville Courier says: The Connellsville coke trade continues long on demand, short on production and shy as to prices The operators find it impos- sible to produce enough coke to supply all demands. The steel interest, for ex ample, has been obliged to load few thousand tons of stock coke each week for the past month in order to meet the requirements of it's furnaces while the yards and tracks at the merchant plants show no accumulations of stock. The operation is from ovens direct to cars This Is due to labor conditions. There has been a gradual increase in the list of active ovens until the merchant operators now have S3 per cent of their ovens alight with the furnace interest close be- hind at S2 per cent, the average of the region being s2.3 per cent Eliminating the reserve ovens of the Prick company this active percentage Is increased to S4.3 per cent
