Dear Sir:
T have. heard what purports to be
your answers to some of my state
ments regarding your record as a
county officer. I have not knowingly
or Intentionally made a single mis-
statement regarding your record, but
if you can refute my assertions, why
don't you do it as publicly as I have
made them. that is, through the
newspapers?
Ny campaign has been entirely
open and above board-can you say
the same Of yours !? | have refrain
ed from personal abuse, but I have
criticized your public record, as |
have right to do, but have done
this publicly, not behind your back.
Now, I challenge you to meet the
issues squarely, as ! have done. I
challenge you to tell about that
ballot printing deal Of 1906, where
you made the county pay $4,000
for job you said was worth
$4,000; the Blooner ditch known as
No.. 10; your campaign yarn in 1900
against your opponent, A. G. Lund-
gren, the present county auditor.
that che could hardly read or write
that team hire bill on Judicial ditch
No. FL: that claim that you got that
s2.500.00 appropriation for the Oslo
bridge; whether you repaid the
county what it paid Morck for in
dexing the I'll cases you failed, to
index while you We're clerk of court;
why you voted for the Combine" bid
on county printing in 1911 and 1913
and against it in 1912 and 1914; the
personal property tax records for
Grand Plain for 1906, etc.
Your answers should be positive
and unequivocal, not evasive. am
entitled to what I am asking of you
in this letter. and so is the public,
which wants the facts.
Yours truly,

Ventilation.

O. % (
When is a dwelling properly venti-
lated?
When person coming from the
outdoors notices no odors or sense of
closeness. Visit a living room with
a fireplace and a CHEEKY fire. Note
the airy feeling, although the room
may be crowded. Then note the feel
ing on entering your own living
room. Not everyone can have fire
place, but everyone can leave the
bedroom windows open at night and
can air the house thoroughly two or
more times a day or else arrange
for some continuous ventilation.
Perhaps frequent thorough airing is
the cheaper in fuel costs.

SHRINEISTILL MUM
ON LINEUP OF TEAM
Withdrawing of Grotto Club from
Rosedale League Not to lnjure
Chances in Big Game.

When the GrUt:o and Shrine mines meet
at American League Park on Saturday
afternoon. June l.. at o'clock. in the
annual Masonic game for the benefit Of
the Masonic and Eastern Star Home,
they will not only be battling for the
honOrs of the day. In addition the Win
ner will get the "spoils'' of having its
name inscribed on handsome trophy
that has been placed in competition by
the Masters Association. under whose
jurisdiction the contest is held
Details Of the competition for the
trophy have not been definitely made. but
it is likely that it will have to be won
manent property. This matter H. in the
hands of committee composed OF James
p. Schick and II. A. Rose, representing
the Masters Association; Capt. Louis c.
Wilson. OF the Shine. and William +.
GUIDE. of the Grotto.
Following out its prescribed course OF
sprnging surprises. the Shrine is still
keeping mum as TO It's roster of players.
Evidently the GrOtto thinks this method
pays. as it has withdrawn its team from
the Rosedale League, and probably quiet
ly adding to the ranks OF the men who
appeared in the amateur circuit games
However. the main reason for GTOttO
retiring from the ROSedale OrGaniza tion
was because it found it too difficult tO
get its strongest lineup out for a long
schedule Of contests. But this drawb CR
will not prevail for the Masonic con-
test and the members Of the Grotto team
will fnd enough practice time to be ready
for the real battle.
