Cogitating the matter, we come to the conclusion that the people of that town must be terribly bad.

the appointing of the state agents al

appointed by the governor. His salary
is 5000 per annum and each OF ms

1t is anticipated that Havner Will be
aggressive in the matter of law en-
forcement as this has been his attitude
as a lawyer. For years he was tho
leading attorney in the state for the
temperance forces and he was lighting
the saloon in the days when the pro-
hibition sentiment was not nearly SO
strong in the state as 1t is now.
The new attorney general attended
Simpson College, Indianola. and Sc
cured his legal education at the state
university For many years he has
been member of the law firm OF Pop
ham & Havner.s of Marengo. Thru in
