When the county records are moved
to their new strong room. The new
court house is built of cut stone and
is one of the finest buildings of It's
kind in the s ate The offices are
we'll located and convenient and the
district court room is large and well
arranged enough to accommodate the
growth of business. There are rooms
or suits of rooms for all county Of

part in some markets, the general
position Of prle Is the highest of
modern times mainly because of the
pressure OF consuming demand that
IN many cases exceeds supplies. In

also contributing factor, while the
rising cost of production, due largely
to wage advances, still have an i'm
portant effect in determining present

Long before election when both
parties were confident of success,

members of the faculty of the local
schools proposed that the losing
party entertain the winners. This
was carried into effect last Friday
evening at the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
f. G. Ticknor.
The rooms We're beautifully and ap-
propriately decorated with red, white
and blue fes tooning, flags and Wilson
slogans. A vary clever cartoon ex-
ecuted by Cora AXE in which Presi-
dent Wilson figured as a mounted
jockey inscribed "Winner by half a
head adorned the library. This
expressed the sentiments of the
Democrats who much prefer being
half head Ahead" than half a
head Behind" The slogans which
decorated the other rooms were, Eve
are for Wilson and the Hour Day"
Wilson is the Poor Mans Friend"
and He Kept us out of War"
At seven O'Clock the promised din
ner Of bean soup, corned beef and
cabbage was announced, which PROV
ed to be a delectable five course
dinner prepared with Mrs. Ticknor's
usual skill, which has given her the
reputation of being an excellent cook.
The menu was:
Oyster Cocktail
Ripe Olives Celery
Roast Turkey Bread Dressing
Giblet Sauce
Cranberry Jelly
Mashed Potatoes, Steamed Squash
Parker House Rolls
Fruit Salad
Frozen Pudding Angel Food |

rave the following yell:

We're for Wilson, not for war.
Good-by Hughes-Gee he's sore
We want Wilson, more, more, more.
