 But what a nest of enemies Dc stirred upl
 Judge Wear cnt out the graftine in the care Of the county's poor, anu gave them much better care than they had had hefore
 The erafIers hate Jndge Wear.
 Judge Wear, aided hy the Publicity Act. uncovered the system by which hundreds of dollars of the taxpay- CTS money was being wasted in the purchase of great quantities of dis infectants that were not needed. the purchases being made in the loosest fashion by Tom. Dick and Harry around the court house. with and without authority of law. He stopped the waste and that system of pur- chasing.
 More kickersl
 Convinced that the county records in some offices were in bad shape. inefliciently and carelessly kept, he had an audit made by expert bonded accountants. A great howl was set up by the same old crowd that had so long had things their own way, but the audit was in behalf of en- ciency and honesty. He won out.
 Judge Wears conduct of the coun- tvs affairs had cut down the in- debtedness from Si0,000 to S6.iiili up to October I 1916, and those men serving in the Circuit court at the October term just closed received the unheard of price of % cents on the dollar for their scrip. This sort of thing already has taken the pie" away from bunch of hang ers-on of the old ring that have been making money in scrip specu- lation and what lot of sore heads this has developed
 Judge Wear has served honestly, efficiently and fearlessly the great
 est number of the people and tax
 payers of Polk county.
 His enemies are q credit to him.
 They are those who have thriycd
 by wrenging the people--most of
 the people.
 ii is i'ist as important even
 more soto the people of Polk
 county that they support such a
 man as Judge Wear, as it is that
 they support such a man as Pres
 i6ent Wilson.
 They both stand for honesty
 and efficiency in public life. and
 for the interests of most of the
 taxpayers.

wHAT WILL THE PEOPLE sAY?

President Wilson was nominated and elected by those who desired that the common people have fair chance.
 Soon after he was elected it de- veloped that Wall Street and the big interests that had proflted thru exploiting the people were prepar- ing to create a great panic to so ter rorize the people that they would overthrow the Democratic party. which thru President Wilson. stood for the things the people of the land most wanted.
 President Wilson saw the game and by threats of withdrawing the money that the United States treas ury had on deposit in the Now York banks. brought the money barons to time and stopped the panic
 He made Wall Street and it's afIil- lated interests his deadly enemy.
 Wilson's administration discovered that many banks of the country were fattening by charging usurious interest the farming classes being the chief sufferers. and he took rad ical steps to stop the abuses. This, mon folks, and how lot of these bankers hate Wilson and the Dem oeratic party

GERMAN POPULATION

The census bureau has been trying to determine the exact number of people of German birth who now re- side in the United States. Com5in- ing the figures of the census of 1910 with those compiled by the immigra- ton authorities since, it finds that there are residing in the United States 2,6O3,776 persons born in Ger many.
 During 1911 there were but 24,7S1 German immigrants into the Un7ted States; in 1912, 2O.O31; in 1913, 29,- 145. and in 1914, 2S,46S. Since August, 1914, there have been very few Germans to reach the United States from Europe. The beginning of the war ended immigration from that source, although it had been practically negligible for many years past
 The census bureau estimates, how ever, that there are in the country s. 2S2,61S people of German descent which is rather an elastic term. At that, the people of German birth and descent number but about 9 per cent of the population of the country as a whole. The largest population or German birth or descent, proportion ately, is in the Middle Atlantic states, and the Middle Western states come next.-Post-Intelligencer.

Milk Declared a Stimulant.

The announcement by the Pasteur in
stitute of Paris that milk is a powerful
stimulant will be received as surprise
in MANY quarters. For many months
milk has been given the French SOL
diers in the trenches and the results
have amply justified the statement
given out by scientists as tn the effect
of milk upon the human system.
While alcohol excites the brain and
benumbs the sensibilities, thus causing
a false courage, milk. according to con-
clusions reached by scientists, strength
ems and keys up the individual without
impairing in any sense his efficiency.
In fact. the increased strength afford
ed by milk adds increased efficiency
very materially. So helpful has milk
been found that French soldiers are
given this liquid food just before going
into battle, and it's sale to the soldiers
when off duty to the rear of the
trenches is being urged instead of the
popular soft drinks.
After all, the law of compensation is
turning the awful war to at least some
good account by the many valuable
helps to humanity that scientists have
discovered, largely through necessity.
