claims that may have upon your sup
port. The character OF the office OF
Judge of the Supreme Court forbids
the employment of the usual campaign
methods, and feel sure that should
undertake a campaign Of that charac-

verse ballots. feel that one seeking
this high preferment should base his
candidacy therefor upon other than
personal or factional grounds In order

record as may have made as citi-
zen, a lawyer and Judge.
1t would not here become me to go
into any detail respecting my official
record; that, however. is open to your
inquiry and examination. If you think,
on looking into 1t, that 1t will justify

THE COUNTY SCHOOL
AND COMMUNITY LIFE.

Do Americans truly realize the
remarkable social and economic
changes now taking place through
the agency of the small-town
and rural schools? Professor
James once declared that most
people are old fogies at twenty
five, that they have gained at
this age hard set notions and a
safe means Of making a liveli-
hood, and that they henceforth
travel in a comfortable rut.
There is undoubtedly a marked
tendency among American rural
teachers TO avoid such condit
ion they are realizing that the
teacher who never does more
than he is paid for never is
paid for more than he does
They are realizing that the day
is gone when the sChoolhouse
was intended simply for child
ren; to it that the building is
\ fast becoming the most impor
hant center inathe community.
Consider for few minutes some
facts about the practical results
of rural aud small town educa-
tional efforts in America.
Apparently the back to-the-
soil movement has had its day
There is in all probability
large enough proportion of the
American people now engaged III
producing food from the earth
il they only knew how to do it
efficiently. The next great econ
omic movement in America will
probably be the countrifying OF
industries Unnoticed, this
nlnresnent has really been going
OH for several years. Large
cotton factories have sprung up
! near the cotton fields; paper
mills are steadily moving toward
the forests, tobacco factories are
less and less in the cities, and
more and more near the source
OF raw material. The tendency
to move away from crowded cen
ters of population, with their
congested apartment life, to the
| country and small towns where
the laborer and his family may
have cheap breathing space in
other words, this countrifying of
Industries is growing more and
Elnore evident. Unconsciously
perhaps, the rural and town
school has been preparing for
some time for this change thru
the vitalizing of community life,
through the infusion of genuine
Human interest into the

SOME GOOD ADVICE
Strengthened by Emmett Experiences

Kidney disease is too dangerous to
neglect. At the first sign of backache,
headache, dizziness urinary disord-
ers, you should give the weakened kid
neys prompt attention. Eat little,
take things easier and use a reliable
kidney tonic. There's no other kidney
medicine so well recommended as
Doan's Kidney Pills. Emmett people
rely on them. Here's one of the
many statements from Emmett peo-
pie.
Mrs. r. A. Mcfarland, First St.,
Emmett, says: Zone of the family
was crippled up with backache and
complained of lameness and soreness
across the loins. Doan's Kidney Pills
were used and they removed the back
ache and proved of benefit in every
way. took Doan's Kidney Pills about
a year ago for backache and
trouble from the kidney secretions
and was greatly benefited" Estate
ment given June 18th, 1900
OVER TWO YEARS LATER, Mrs.
Mcfarland added: Nothing has
changed my high opinion of Doan's
Kidney Pills. My former endorsement
still holds good
Price SOC at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for kidney remedy-get
Doan's Kidney Pills-the same that
Mrs. Mcfarland has twice publicly
recommended. Foster-Milburn Co.,
