IVAN G.. MARTIN
Announces Candidacy for the Legis
lature.

Ivan knows and is known by a ma
iority Of the citizens of Marion county,
and by everybody in Salem. He was
born on farm in 1881, and as he grew
up in and with the country, he knows
what hard work is, but also how much
Of it it takes to keep the taxes pa
up. So can be depended on if elected
to help hold them down to as low fig.
ures as possible with the needs Of the
country.
He was employed FOR some time on
the Capital journal as q reporter, and
there learned to sift and sort stories
Of the day--an accomplishment Of
much value to a legislator.
He is a practicing attorney, believes
in building up industrials, aboishing
useless commissions and if elected viii
stand solidly for anything that helps tho
state or Marion county He is well
equipped for the office and the returns
next May will, it is hoped show the
voters are Of this opinion.

to look up other quarters, with the re-
suit that room in the seed company's
building was secured and will be oc-
cupied until their new building has been
erected next pring.
The first car load Of goods for the
wholesale house arrived last week and
another has reached here since then.
The company expects to be ready to
begin business by December 1.
The new quarters secured by the
g:ocery company are much larger and
better fitted for conducting it's business
than those first obtained, and the con-
Germ will s;art out in much better shape

something for the city to be proud of.

Are Street Signs A Success

Some two months ago the city erected
at a considerable expense a number OF
street signs, known to the wayfarer as
Keep to the Right signs, or the
'Silent Policemen" Since then nearly
all of these guide boards. supposed to
indicate to the auto driver or teamster,
on which side of the highway he is ex-
pected to travel, have been run into,
knocked down and in other ways
mistreated.
True, in many instances these de-
predations were committed by intoxi-
Gated or other irresponsible persons.
Others who have met with acciden S,
or near-accidents, assert that it is often
next to impossible to detect these painted
posts, standing in the center of the
thoroughfare and under the glare of
the electric light, and that they are
more nuisance than a help to the
driver who would abide by the traffic
regulations Of the city.
The city Of St. Peter has discarded
their ''Silent Policemen" claiming that
they were useless to that town. They
were recently sold at a bargain price
