J. ". ERWIN

In this issue of the Picayune will be found the announcement of J. w. Erwin, of Albany town ship for the office of Tax Assess or. Mir. Erwin has lived Tn Albany township for 33 years, and has been engaged in the ministerial work for the past 30 years. He has been the pastor of Laneburg church from its organization, about 26 years. Mir. Erwin taught in the public schools for many years and al~ ways held first grade certificates. Always voted the democratic ticket and has never asked for office before, working hard on the farm and attending to his ministerial duties, paying his honest debts and treating his fellow man as he would have his fellow man treat him.
 Mir. Erwin expects to see as many of the voters as he possib- ly can between now and the primary, but on account of his duties he may not be able to make as thorough canvase as he would like to make. Mir. Erwin is well known by the business men of Prescott, and cheerfuIly refers you to any of them as to his honesty and integrity.
 We ask the voters to consider Bro. Erwin's candidacy and if you see fit to support him he will appreciate it very much.

ROSS BUCHANAN

The Picayune takes pleasure in calling your attention to the announcement of Ross Buchanan for Tax Assessor of this county. Mir. Buchanan is a resident of Boughton Township and is the son of Hance Buchanan, who has lived on the same farm in that township for 10 years. Ross is a splendid young man with plenty of business ability, and is well qualified to fill this office.
 None of his family have ever offered themselves for office be- fore, but have been satisfied with helping their friends and otherwise doing what they could to advance every interest of the county and state. Ross expects to make a thorough canvass of the county before the primary election and will state his case to you in person. We trust you will give him due consideration and whatever may be your yer dict, he will stand by it.

DUMPING

Congress has a serious problem to face in providing adequate jaws against Dumping" Dunn ping is the selling of a product in a foreign country at 6 lower price than 1t is sold at home. In the rebuilding of Europe. which must follow the war, the United States ln all probability, will be the object of a dumping campaign by foreign nations. If this should happen the markets of this coun, try would be demoralized. The United States is rich. Foreign nations, broken in fortune. by every trick of trade, will attempt to rebuild their fortunes at the Expense of the United States Canada, South Africa and Austra. ia have laws to prohibit dunn.
 ng. The necessity for adequate
 ws for the United Statt-s is ar
 .lmediate one.

 Copies of tic new ia@ will be furnished t. a.l cv"rsee"5 and others wishjae copies may get them by as. -t fer them either at the count l1g, $ oOlice or at the office of the county clerk.
 The law requires the overseer to give every man a lawful war ming but it does not contemplate repeated warnings. 1 shall in- sist on every man being lawfully warned one time and he must report for duty as the time specified in the warning or at once some time thereafter, suit able to the convenience of the overseer, or suffer the penalty of the law.
 1 am confident that a large majority of the people of Nevada county will bear us out in trying to enforce the law, relative to road work, and to this end We will expect every man to do his duty without murmur or com plaint.
 Arrangements will be made to do the work to suit the convent ence of both overseers and labor CTS as far as it is possible to do so. And the man who is willing to do sshis part on the road will find no difficulty in pleasing the road overseer, but there will be no favoritism; there can be none since every overceer will be charged with all the labor in his district.
 Yours for better roads,
 J. M. Thomas,
 County Judge.

Because It's Citizens Have Learned
 The Truth.
 After reading this generous and en, couraging report from Mir. Weeks those who have the misfortune to suf- fer, as he did, will naturally long to get similar relief. But to get the same good as Mr. Weeks had. you should get the same remedy. There are of course, other kidney pills but there gre no other kidney pills the same as Doan's. That is why Prescott people demand the genuine.
 w. M. Weeks. blacksmith. Prescott, says: About a year ago, l had tc stop work for a time owing to weak kidneys. My back pained me and or stepping to shoe horses, l had sharp pains across my lons, Often my ank- les became swollen and the flesh under my eyes puffed up My kidneys acted irregulariy iy and the kidney secretions were scanty. couldn't sleep wei and was very nervous. After using Deans Kidney Pills, procured at Hes. terly's Drug StoIe. was able to work without a pain in my back. My kid neys are in good shape now. -

THE NEW YEAR

Will the New Year bring Peac?
 Peace in Europe will be the greates gift the new year crn bring to the world. The armies of the allies and the Tuetons have been locked in battle so long that the world has become almost callous. Every day we have read in the news dispatches accounts of horrible fighting. Today forty thousand men were wiped out. Yesterday whole battalions were decimated. The day before thousands of men were caught in a trap and killed. Reports state that Germany's list of killed totals over 2,000,000. Beautiful cities and priceless works of art have been razed. Helpless wo- men and children have been driv. en by the enemy fromtheir homes and starved or thrown on the mercy of the charitable. No longer are we affected by the horror of these dispatches. Our minds have refused to grasp the tremendousneSS of it and we read the war news with hardly more of a thrill than we get from a sensational murder. Recent dis patches from Europe have emphasized the peace note. Ger many socialists, apparently, are demanding that something be done to end the slaughter. Aus tralia likewise is ready for peace-in all probability has been for some time. It is not unlikely that France and England, despite their assertions to the contrary, would be amenable if proper terms could be obtained. The nuetral world is crying for peace. Will the new year bring it? Nineteen sixteen will hold much for the United Staes in way prosperity and progress. We have reached period of con- struction winch will begin this year. Many serious problems are before the people for solution and the tendency is to ignore radical ism and to concentrate our efforts on a safe and some--policy. But of all the gift s which the New Year may have in store for us, the greatest would.bei peace in Europe.

Rev. James Whitcomb Brougher, pas
tor of Temple Baptist Church, has a
solution for the marriage riddle. He
says he got it while sitting on the
bench with Judge Monroe Of Los
Angeles listening to divorce cases.
"we agreed deception was the root
of the evil" Nh. Brugher said. "Wo-
men marry men without finding out
enough about them, and, Of course
the men don't want to be found out
Most Of us men have to deceive Q
woman about ourselves in order u
get a wife.

alive, look up the complete record of q
man she wants to marry.

Leo Hanly and Audrain Mcdonald,
Of this city, sold 161 capons to G. W.
Strain, this week, for s171. The birds
averaged between six and eight
pounds and will be shipped to the
Eastern market where they will re-
tail for about 40 cents a pound dress
ed. The capon is a delicacy served in
the high priced cafes and on the table
of those who are expressing no worry
over the rise in the price Of gasoline.
Mr.. Hanly and Mr.. Mcdonald intend
stocking their little poultry farm, this
year, with thoroughbred chickens If
some special strain and raising their
own birds to caponize.

fancier who raises fine capons recent

$1.50 each. Roy Bryarly sold a num-
Der in St. Louis this week. They

The flesh of the capon is as good if
not better than that of the far-famed
turkey and is preferable among bon
~vivants. While capon is not by any
means served generally in this city
there are quite a number of residents
who raise the birds for their private
use. Sam Evans, n of u leading
poultry f%anciers, always natures a
nice flock and then invites a few
friends in to enjoy them served in
royal style.
Roy Bryarly raises capons from
his blue-ribboned prize winning Buff
orpingtons. The more aristocratic

AUDRAIN RECEIVES MORE
FROM STATE THAN 1T PAYS

Of the 115 political subdivisions of
Missouri, including the ia counties
and the city of st. Louis, there are
but nineteen that contribute any
money whatsoever toward the support
of the state government according to
a report from the State Auditors
books. Audrain county receives more
from the state than it pays.
In 1915 Audrain county paid into
the state treasury $22,sO4.56; Audrain
received from the state $23,282.15,
this makes the excess paid Audrain
$477.60.
In other words, there are 96 of the
counties in this State that draw
money in excess of what they pay
into the State Treasury in taxes.
The city of St, Louis paid last year
$1,439, 373.43 in excess of the money
received from the State; jackson
County paid in an excess of $275,-
1895; Buchanan County, S33,S29.47,
and st. Louis County, $77,437.34. The
! other counties on the right side Of the
fledger paid smaller amounts, that Of
Pettis County being only $321.46.
Some of the richest and most popu.
lous counties in the State are listed
on the other side of the account.
Jasper County, for instance, drew
s2s, O42.54 more out Of the State
Treasury than it paid. The county
contributed s61,4ss.72 and drew GU
$s9,476.26.
Texas County, which paid in onl.
a total of ss,523.75, drew out $50,
e17.99, or an excess of $27,094.24.

H PLAYGROUND.

THE children of any community
are better off if they have some
healthful mean Of exercise with
which to rid themselves Of surplus
energy. If they do not have this
they get into mischief.
The m of this city are anxious
to secure a public playground for the
children. Such an institution gives
the child spontaneous outdoor exer-
else and builds up health; it keeps
the mind pure through wholesome
surroundings; developes initiative by
forcing the child to make its own
decisions; furthers ambition by teach
ing leadership through successful en-
deavor; proves the value Of cooper
alton by teaching the child to give
and take assistance which is another
argument in favor Of the good Of
concerted action.
The children through repudiating
any success which does not come
through fair play, strengthens their
honesty; it develops imagination
though lifting him from the common
place and filing him with enthusiasm
self-confidence comes through res
possibility in play; obedience through
teachings to obey the leader and jus
tice by teaching the child to have
consideration for those physically ant
mentally weaker.
The Playground is a great public
educator and is worth giving serious
consideration.
