n. T. MAUFFRAY FOR
SUPERVISOR.

Supervisor N. T. Mauffray, the pres
ent incumbent from Beat A, is candi-
date for reelection, and, accordingly,
is announced in this issue of The Echo.
Mr.. Mauffray is truly representative
OF his people, and no man is better
equipped to fill the posi- ton than he by
virtue of his executive ability I conser-
vativeness and general knowledge. A
safe man can always be depended upon
and in this instance we wish to say that,
ii elected. the voters will have exercised
their right of suffrage in this particular
instance at least well and wisely.
There is no man better known in
Peat than Mr.. Mauffray, no man held
in higher regard and more generally es-
teemed than he, and of his success at
the polls there seems to be little or no
doubt. His present services to his peo-
pie have been 30 satisfactory that his
friends feel justified in asking for his
reelection not only as reward for past
services but in order that the good work
may he continued and the people enjoy
the fruits therefrom.

G. Y. BLAZE FOR co.
TREASURER.

Friends of Gabrielle Y. Blaize have
urged him to become a candidate for
Office OF treasurer OF Hancock county,
and, accordingly, he is formally an
nounced as such to the public in this
issue of The Echo, and has entered up
on the campaign in most vigorous
manner, proposing to leave no stone un-
turned as the saying goes.
Mr.. Blaize is so well known to our
people and readers as to rsnuer it al
most superfuous for The Echo to in
troduce him and to extol his virtues
which so eminently befit him for the
trust.
The man who would be county treas
urer must have the qualities of one who
has character of honesty, integrity and
ability, the elements all OF which Mr..
Blaize possesses, and with his personal
popularity to back his candidacy he is
going to prove an opponent to be reck-
oned with and foeman worthy of his
steel.
The Echo commends Mr.. Blaize's
candidacy to the earnest consideration
OF the voters, and, should they elect
him we feel certain they will have made
no mistake.

JOHN CRAFT FOR co,
SUPERINTENDENT.

John Craft, County Superintendent
of Public Education for Hancock coun-
ty, is announced in The Echo as can
didate for e-election, and his friends
over the county are of the opinion that
his services have been and are such that
the best interests of the Office and the
cause of education demand his re-elec-
tion; not only as personal reward but
that the good work may be allowed to
continue.
Fitted by experience of over seve n
years in Office, Mr.. Craft is thoroughly
familiar with the duties of the Office,
school laws, and the best and approx ed
methods of administering to the duties
of his trust and how to apply them to
the best advantage. He superintends
forty-six schools in Hancock county,
which is no small task. These he visits
frequently during the year. When he
is not away on these visits he can al
ways be found at his Office at the court
house.
His record will bear inspection and
speaks for itself, and it affords this pa
per satisfaction to present the name of
John Craft to the voters of this county
for their consideration at the polls this
year.

rights OF the city to purchase same.
Our rights in said matter to be given
us by the city attorney.
The matter OF back taxes on automo-
biles coming on to be heard and it ap-
pearing that parties were summoned to
appear before the Board and it appear
ing that all the parties have appeared.
and after hearing testimony and con-
sidering same, the Board does find that
the parties summoned to appear and as
appears from the assessor ent roll mark
ed as Additional Assessment, that none
OF these parties are liable for taxes as
appears marked to them on assessment
roll, and as notified by revenue agent.
Il is therefore moved by Alderman
Taylor seconded by Alderman Fabre,
that all of said additional assessment or
back taxes be rejected and that the city
tax-collector notify the revenue agent
of the action of the Board.
It appearing to the Board that Harry
Howe was erroneously assessed with
personal property to the amount of S525
and it appearing that the said assess
ment is ON tools, which is exempt by
law. and it appearing that the said
Howe was enormously assessed and that
the said Howe has paid on said assess
ment the sum of s293, it is therefore
moved by Alderman Blaize and second
ed by Alderman Fabre that the City
Secretary issne to Harry Howe war
rant in the sum of s2.93 to refund the
amount paid by amount paid by him on

WHO RUNS THEPAPER?

In a neighboring county clergyman
took the editor of the local paper to task
because the editor accepted certain
advertising contract. The good man
forgot that for years the editor had
given freely of his space to help the
church; had printed columns of notices
of services, meetings, suppers, enter
tainments and lectures, all free. In
donating this space the editor had given
more than the equivalent gof cash. He
had given publicity, and thus had done
more to support the church and pay the
minister's salary than and three mem :
bers of the church had done. An
editor has but two sources of incom e,
his subscription list and his space. Yet,
in this case, when he sold his space he
lost subscriber. OF course, no one
need subscriber to paper unless he
wishes to do so, butno subscriber should
want to dictate to the editor as to what he
should publish. Many editors will not
accept certain lines of advertising.
Other editors cannot afford, perhaps, to
be so independent. Business conditions
often govern these matters. A rich and
prosperous Philadelphia weekly of
national circulation for years declined
the advertisements of cigarette manu-
factures. Business has fallen off lately
for many of the big magazines. Now
that paper is accepting cigarette adver-
tising. Perhaps the editor needs the
money, and who shall blame him if he
sells his space to the American Tobacco
Company Golfers too we hear, is
letting down The bars, just little. That't
all right. Let them down little further,
as long as takers, and grafters and
swindlers are kept out. No one can run
paper to please everyone. be that
paper big or little. 1t ls the editor s
paper and it is his living. He is the one
who should judge what should and
what should not be published in its
columns

THATSINFUL PRINTER

Unobserved and unanounced the
president of Church Society entered
the composing room just in time to hear
these words issue from the mouth OF
the boss printer:
"Billy, go to the devil and tell him to
finish that murder be began this morn
ing. Then 'kill William j. Bryan's
Youngest Grandchild,' and dump the
Sweet Angel of Mercy into the hellbox.
Then make up that Naughty Partisan
Actress and lock up The Lady in Her
Boudoir'."
Horrified the good woman fed from
that place of sin, and now her children
wonder why they are not allowed to
play with the printers youngster.

SOME RECORD.

The newspaper has made presidents,
killed poets; made bustles for beauties
and punished genius with criticism. It
has curtailed the power of kings, con-
verted bankers into paupers and graced
pantry shelves. 1t has made paupers
college presidents, it has educated the
poor and robbed the philosopher of his
reason; it smiles, cries, dies but it can't
be run to suit everybody, and the man
will be crazy who tries.

From different parts of the country
come stories of a swindIe successfully
worked on farmers who thought they
were going to get cheap groceries.
Two smooth strangers went through
the communities taking orders for a
house in Chicago, pretending to sell
a standard brand of sugar and flour so
caeaply that every farmer visited took
from $40 TO $50 worth, and others things
besides. Because Of the low prices the
flour and sugar had TO be Apaid in
advance" It is alleged that in one
community the swindlers picked up
soms 5000 and no groceries delivered.

LAZY FARMERS, DON'T
READ THIS.

The United States Department of
Agriculture, the state boards and the
experts all over the country are urging
the farmers of America to cultivate
every available acre during the coming
year. The war in Europe assures the
the sale of almost everything that can
be raised. Every article that is ex-
ported to feed the soldiers and the
citizens and the stock of Europe means
just that much less for home consump-
tion, there are, even with big crops of
everything, prices will be high. If it
is not good crop year the farmers will
at least raise enough for home use and
viii not have to pay the high prices
that will prevail. Utilize every avail
able acre for grain, grasses and vege-
tables. In many sections farmers are
urged to try double acreage Of pota-
toes. 1t should not be necessary, under
proper conditions, to import potatoes
into any agricultural country. Put the
hens and turkeys to work and give them
a square deal. Raise pigs cattle and
horses in as large numbers as the ac-
commodations of the farm will justify
and any losses that any farmer, planter
or rancher many have sustained last year
viii be more than made good. The war
in Europe may last for months or years,
but while it continues there will be an
active demand for everything we pro-
duce. Should the war end this week
the nations engaged will need all our
surplus products for year at least.
Take our advice, for once, and do not
permit good, tlllable land to lie idle in
1915. There Is plenty Of il 10 Hancock

Turks Fight
Hard InThe
Caucasus
SITUATION THERE IS OF FIRST
IMPORTANCE
FRENCH HOLD STEINBACH AND
THE HEIGHTS TO THE SOUTH
EAST AFTER A MOST STUB.
BORN BATTLE
(By Associated Press.

London, Jan. 5-The right wing
of the French army is today less
than thirty miles from the River
Rhine, holding the village of Stein-
bach and the heights to the south
east after one of the most stubborn
fights of the war.
There is little shift in the relative
positions of the contending armies
in Poland. The Russians continue
furious intermittent attacks on the
Beura Rawka line. The Turkish
invaders and Russians are still ap-
parently fighting in the Caucasus
and both side claiming victory.
French progress in upper Alsace is
probably the most significant news
from the western front in many
weeks. Observers think II indi-
Gates the allies future attempts to
break through in that region.
Swampy ground in west Flanders
precludes a general advance in that
locality at present.
Regardless of whether the Turks
are exaggerating their successes,
they are fighting hard in the Cau-
casus, judging from dispatches. Even
Petrograd admits that the situation
is becoming Of first Importance.
